They don't have many soldiers at hand, especially since most of the troops are involved in street fighting. Muta Shinnosuke means to be able to block it, but Asakuchi Yamada looks like he wants to eat this army.

But what's the benefit of eating them? The purpose of the rebels is to change, not to kill.

"I deployed two heavy machine gun squads and an infantry squad in the south. They can completely block a brigade without heavy weapons."

"We don't need to worry about the 4th Division in the south. On the contrary, the arrival of the 4th Division is an opportunity." Asakou Yamada looked like a gambler who lost his bet.

"What chance? Asaguchi-kun, time is tight, so don't play riddles." Muta Shinnosuke looked at him helplessly.

"Grab the credit!"

"The reinforcements from the 4th Division have arrived. The 1st and 2nd Divisions will definitely know that the reinforcements have arrived, and they will definitely make adjustments."

"Either strengthen the offensive, or suspend the offensive for rest. No matter what, the army needs to be mobilized."

"For some unknown reason, the 1st and 2nd Divisions did not use artillery, but chose street fighting to attack."

"Currently, we are blocking the enemy's attack with a small number of troops throughout the city, and have successfully formed a group to prevent the enemy from advancing."

"Next, they will definitely concentrate their forces and launch a swift and violent offensive. If the 1st and 2nd Divisions capture us, they will be able to wash away their shame."

Asakou Yamada's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he saw victory.

"What you mean is to show the enemy weakness and cause them to have conflicts. In order to grab the credit, they will gather the main force, and we can take the opportunity to do what we want." Muta Shinnosuke's eyes lit up.

"Muda-kun, when the cannon fires, we will attack together. If the frontal attack is blocked later, we will change the route immediately."

"Shelling?" Mutian was stunned again.

He still doesn’t know what the artillery target is and where to attack? What is the target of the attack? How to maintain the connection between the attacking army and the rear?

boom!

boom!

boom!

The 120mm howitzer did not give Muta Shinnosuke time to react and directly began shelling, targeting the area directly in front of them.

The artillery fire extended straight back, straight back, and in that direction was where the Imperial Palace was.

…………

"What do these idiots want to do? Why don't they defend themselves well?"

Temple is very confused about the rebels' brain circuit.

As for the attack, the day of the rebellion is the best opportunity. The ministries are almost unprepared and will not guard against the rebels in the same position as the 6th Army.

If the rebels had not targeted one of the secondary targets that day, such as the Minister of the Navy, the Chief of Police, the Minister of Finance, etc.

After killing these people, the emperor can replace him with anyone he wants. These people don't even understand such a simple truth.

Well, the temple accepted that these people huddled in a large area in the southwest.

Although it was a defensive battle, the temple was afraid that the rebels would not last long, so they issued a special order to the encirclement and suppression troops, prohibiting the use of heavy weapons such as cannons.

As for why, the reason given by the temple is to protect civilians from dying due to being affected by the battle.

The General Staff of the 6th Army faithfully implemented Terauchi's suggestions, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions' road to annihilating the rebels was full of ups and downs.

Without artillery, the soldiers could only push forward bit by bit in the street fighting, but the casualties were higher.

This is the idea behind the temple, he wants to drag these people here. Things are developing too fast and he is not ready yet.

"Sir, 1st Lang has been waiting at the edge of Kyoto for a few days." 2nd Lang said resentfully.

"The 4th Division has entered the city, and I order the First Lieutenant to also enter the city."

…………

"Observe carefully for four weeks. Your identities must be disguised."

"Since the vendors in the vegetable market are closing their stalls..." At the city gate, Ichiro looked at him arrogantly.

"First man, sir, I want you to come over here." What big thing Mr. 2 is looking for at the gate of the city.

"2lang, what do you think, sir?" 1lang asked curiously.

"I'm not a big deal. Next, Kyoto will be in trouble. It's a more suitable choice for me." Erlang will go back to pick up people next.

The entire intensity was prepared at a level that Erlang could still handle.

"Report, the rebel defense line has been overwhelmed by the 4th Division, which is encircling and chasing the rebels." The messenger ran over in a hurry.

After all, it’s a big event where you get the credit. If you go late, you’ll lose everything. Can you not panic?

"Very good! Emergency gathering!" Ichiro nodded with satisfaction and shouted loudly.

Within a few minutes, more than 1,000 people gathered in front of Ichiro.

The most elite part of these 1,000-strong personnel is selected from the 150,000 various organizations under him.

"One team is responsible for the protection of the Imperial Palace, and a few messengers are sent to inform the ministries to start taking over the defense of Kyoto as planned. It is said that they have received orders from the Prime Minister to inspect the 1st and 2nd Divisions."

"The rest of you are carrying light and heavy weapons, follow me!" Lang got on the horse and controlled the horse to trot. The soldiers followed on the ground with their legs.

"Hai!"
Chapter completed!
