But he had no idea that the Great Chinese Army would not give him such a chance. In order to show the morale of the New Fifth Army, Army Commander Song Changliang had already issued an order that he would attack the city early tomorrow morning. He wanted to tell the truth with facts.
All the fraternal units, the New Fifth Army was recently established and is quite good, but their combat effectiveness is very poor.
Just when Kawamura Sogo was still having sweet dreams, thinking that the whole city would be used by him. On this night, the brothers from the New Fifth Army Engineer Battalion were dispatched. They first quietly came to the moat under the moonlight.
, swam over with the sky thunder wrapped in oilcloth, and then came to the bottom of the city tower one by one, started soil work, and buried the sky thunder with huge energy under the city wall.
All this was done in the dark. The engineer battalion had already practiced it countless times without any mistakes. So after they finished everything, the Co-Prosperity Army in the city was still kept in the dark. They were still there.
We are waiting for the Chinese army to attack the city and prepare for a regular defensive battle.
The emergence of thunder made war easier.
The so-called strong walls of the city are no longer as strong as before and have become much weaker.
Within the Chinese Army's imperial tent, Tang Ao did not sleep. With his current level of cultivation, he only needed to meditate for an hour a day to maintain a lively state.
Tang Ao, who was reading ancient books in the tent, heard the sound of footsteps, and then Shi Lei came closer, "Your Majesty, the New Fifth Army has crossed the moat, buried the sky thunder under the city wall, and decided to
We will launch a general offensive early tomorrow morning."
"So soon?" When he heard the news, Tang Ao couldn't help but be stunned.
Originally, Tang Ao did not plan to capture Jiancheng soon. He wanted to create a false impression for others, that is, the strength of the Dahua Army was not that strong. He was afraid that if he fought too hard, he would be stimulated.
Emperor De, Emperor Qianying and the Qin army who were eyeing the west.
With this attitude, he sent the New Fifth Army to attack Jiancheng. He thought that their combat power should be the weakest, so when they fought, their performance would not be too fierce. Unexpectedly, Song Changliang
They were so anxious, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
But it was just unexpected. At this time, Tang Ao would never order to interfere with the Fifth Army's military operations.
The so-called generals are outside, and military orders are not given.
Often, generals before a war are the best at understanding the situation on the battlefield and will often make the most correct decisions based on changes in the battlefield.
If someone is dictating everything, not only will it not be helpful, but it will also cause trouble and big problems.
As the emperor, Tang Ao naturally needs to lead by example, and now he can't stop the military operations of the New Fifth Army. "Forget it, since they have the ability, of course they must be given room to display their ability. Well, I guess uncle
Once you know what you mean, you know what to do, so you won't make any mistakes."
Tang Ao really thought too much about this matter. From the beginning to the end, the Qin Army did not pay attention to Japan. Even when they learned afterwards that the Great China Army was making rapid progress, they had no other feelings. They even
What I am interested in is the war in front of me, that is, the war against the 300,000 dog army led by Shen Yunyi.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the sun rose from the east as usual.
The soldiers of the New Fifth Army, after having breakfast early, picked up their swords and guns one by one, and were always ready for the siege.
The New Fifth Army under the city quickly moved into action. Naturally, someone saw this scene on the city tower and reported it to General Sogo Kawamura in the city.
Kawamura Sogo, who also had a good sleep, was eating breakfast. After hearing the report below, he waved his hands indifferently and said: "How can the siege of the city be so fast? The outer city alone is enough for these Chinese troops to attack."
It's been a while, don't worry, after I have eaten and drank enough, the general will naturally go to the tower to direct the battle."
Although Kawamura Sougo didn't have much confidence in defending the city, he still had confidence if it was just for a period of time. But he didn't know at all that Tang Ao never regarded him as someone who had followed the Eight Classics from the beginning to the end.
Otherwise, the opponent would not need the New Fifth Army to take action and directly order the birds to fly into the air. After a while of wild bombing in the city, the matter would be settled.
As a result, the military strength in the city will probably be reduced by more than half. At that time, no matter which army is ordered to attack the city, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Kawamura Sogo didn't care, but the New Fifth Army outside the city was already ready to go all out. When each division and brigade arrived at the designated position, a dazzling firework shot straight into the sky.
In the middle, the general attack began.
"ignition!"
Outside the four city walls, the soldiers of the firearms battalion lit the fires, and then there was a period of waiting.
When the fireworks suddenly rose into the sky, the Communists on the city tower and inside the city all saw clearly, and they were startled for a moment.
Even Kawamura Sogo who was having breakfast was also startled and shouted outside, "What's going on? What's going on? Go and have a look."
Under the shout, some soldiers immediately ran out. Kawamura Sogo also stuffed all the food in his hands into his mouth, and then said: "Is this a signal to attack? Well, that should be the case. In this way,
Immediately send an order to guard the city. There should not be too many soldiers to prevent the Great Chinese Army from being attacked by thunder."
When talking about this, Kawamura Sougo was a little annoyed. The reason why the Great Chinese Army is so powerful is that it relies on the thunder in their hands. Otherwise, it is just a hard fight with swords and guns, and he will not be so powerful.
of fear.
Some soldiers went to the city tower to deliver the order according to Kawamura Sogo's wishes, but before he could reach the top of the city tower, a feeling of earth shaking like a mountain roaring and a tsunami came over, causing the soldiers who were delivering the order to run on top of the city tower.
I fell to the ground while walking on the street.
Then, he looked up at the smoke and dust flying everywhere, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Until now, the soldier who sent the order didn't know what happened. He thought it was just a coincidence that the earth dragon turned over.
They had seen the artillery of the Dahua Army, but they had never seen such a powerful one, so no one connected what happened with the Dahua Army. But they did not know that the engineer battalion dug out a large artillery piece under the city wall overnight.
How many sky mines were filled in the cave?
As if he was afraid of not completing the task well, the battalion commander repeatedly ordered that the sky mines should be used vigorously. If the capacity of the big pit was not limited, a lot more sky mines would have to be installed.
Outside the city, the soldiers of the New Fifth Army were all covering their ears. This was an order given in advance. They were afraid that the sound of the explosion would be too loud and would hurt people's eardrums.
But even though they had been prepared, when they saw what was happening in front of them and the roaring sound that could still be heard in their ears, they still looked at what was happening in front of them in shock. When that seemingly extremely
When the city wall, which was strong and was reinforced by the Communist Army in the later period, fell like an avalanche, many soldiers were still shocked and frightened.
As a result, many recruits did not hear the subsequent shouts of the company and platoon leaders. It was not until someone patted their shoulders and told them that they could launch an attack that these people woke up and immediately held the weapons in their hands.
The weapon rushed towards the city wall at the huge gap.
Even those who were prepared were frightened, let alone the Co-Prosperity Army on the tower.
Everything was fine just now, but then there was the sound of the sky falling apart, and then there was a collapse under their feet, revealing huge gaps.
Some unlucky members of the Co-Prosperity Army, before they could figure out what happened, fell down along with the fallen city wall and were directly caught among the boulders, losing their lives.
As for the soldiers of the Communist Army who were far away from the gap, they were so frightened at this moment that they didn't know what to do next. Even if they were deaf for a while, they saw the soldiers of the Chinese Army rushing through the gap.
When the figure came, he had already forgotten to resist.
Kawamura Sogo in the city had just mounted his horse and left the house when he was frightened by the huge explosion.
The war horse at his feet disobeyed the order and rose up, knocking him off the horse.
The whole person was lying on the ground, but Kawamura Sogo did not feel any pain at all. This was not because he had lost his sense of pain, but because he had been so frightened that he had forgotten everything, the pain, and where he was.
.
"Come on!"
Outside the city, high-pitched sounds of impact were shouted, and then more and more soldiers rushed towards the gap.
Before the war, Song Changliang issued a strict order that all officers should take the lead. If any officer was found hiding behind because of fear, he would be beheaded without asking the reason.
Under such strict military discipline, it was the officers who were the first to rush into the gap.
Their positions may not be too high, some are platoon commanders, a few company commanders, and a few battalion commanders among them. But the soldiers below don't see these, they just see that the officers are faster than them.
Since officials are not afraid of death, what else do they have to fear?
Everyone only has one life. Officials are willing to take their own lives. Are they still afraid of death?
Under the leadership of the officer, all the soldiers rushed forward with all their strength, one after another. It seemed that if they rushed slower, they would lose all the credit.
The attack speed of the Dahua Army was very fast. Commander Song Changliang, who was commanding at the front line, borrowed a telescope to see everything in his eyes and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked back at the direction of the imperial tent as if he had realized something.
Hehe smiled.
On a high platform in front of the imperial tent, Tang Ao was leading his generals to look at the scene in front of them through telescopes.
