But they never expected it to be so fast. The so-called moat had no effect at all. By the time everyone was awakened by the loud explosion, the Chinese army had already entered the tower through the gap.
But fortunately, they only climbed onto the tower and did not completely occupy the tower. As long as they counterattack quickly enough, it is still possible to drive out the Chinese army again.
Just when Kawamura Sooh was waiting for good news with the idea of a contingency, what he waited for was the fact that the Communist Army had betrayed him.
As soon as he heard that the Koei Army had rebelled, Kawamura Sogo fell to the ground with a plop, knowing that the situation was over.
The number of the Co-Prosperity Army in the city far exceeds that of the Japanese Army, so the Co-Prosperity Army can completely overwhelm them without the Chinese Army having to do anything.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over." Like a headless fly, Kawamura Sougo was completely out of ideas at this moment.
"General, the city cannot be defended. Let's escape. While the Chinese army is still attacking the city, we will protect the general and fight our way out." A group of soldiers stepped forward and did their jobs.
Things.
The main task of the soldiers is to protect the general's absolute safety, and sometimes they also play the role of leading soldiers.
The personal soldiers are also the team that the general can trust the most. Now this team instinctively persuades the general to evacuate, which is what should be done.
"Yes, retreat, retreat, don't take those messy things with you, evacuate the city first." Kawamura Sogo seemed to have come to his senses, thinking that since the city cannot be defended, then he should not defend it.
Now, the task now is to escape first and then tell Tie Meicheng a lot about the situation here.
Soon Kawamura Sogo gathered about 500 Japanese soldiers. Some of them were his personal soldiers, and some were soldiers who came back to report the news from the nearby city. In short, they were all elite forces. With these people in hand, Kawamura Sogo
Finally, a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Charge and attack outside the east city gate."
Outside the West City Gate is the main force of the Great Chinese Army. Even if you rush over, you will still have to face a steady stream of other Great Chinese Army. If you go in that direction, you are looking for death.
The same is true outside the North City Gate and the South City Gate. Once you rush out from there and the news spreads, the Chinese cavalry will soon be chasing you, and you will not be able to escape far.
That leaves only the East City Gate, which is also the closest direction to Fuzhou.
The people guarding the east city gate were the Second Division of the New Fifth Army. When Division Commander Huang Dingguo ordered the attack on the city, he left two main regiments as reserves to prevent anyone from escaping from him.
Before the war, Chief of Staff Liang Yanshan had told him alone that if the Japanese in the city wanted to escape, the best direction would be him.
Huang Dingguo deliberately retained such a hand, and the only cavalry regiment of his second division was retained. Now he was eager for someone to escape from him, so that he could achieve greater military exploits.
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
At the East City Gate, where the fighting was originally fierce, a group of fierce and unruly Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared. Each of them was armed with a knife and took the lead. The soldiers of the Chinese Army who were once pressed in front had to retreat.
"Get out of the way, make way for them, let them go." Seeing this, a regiment leader who was in charge of commanding here knew that the enemy was about to break through. Thinking that the rabbit would bite people when it was anxious, he pressed the button
Based on what Huang Dingguo said to them during the previous military meeting, he deliberately opened a road to let the enemy escape.
When the Dahua Army deliberately released water, Kawamura Sogo and the others felt their pressure loosen, and they quickly fought their way out of the gap.
There is no way to rush out from the city gate. Before the arrival of the Chinese army, Kawamura Sogo had already ordered the four gates that can lead to the outside to be blocked tightly with stones, in order to prevent the Chinese army from letting go.
Can break in.
There have long been rumors that the Great Chinese Army's sky thunder is very powerful. If the city gate is not blocked, that will be the best place to enter the city.
After blocking the city gate, Sogo Kawamura had no choice but to escape from the city tower. He was even prepared to fight bloody battles here, or even die here.
Fortunately, the combat power of the Great Chinese Army was not as strong as previously thought, at least they fought their way out.
Looking to the left and right, he realized that he had only lost about fifty people, and there were still more than 400 elite soldiers around him. Sougo Kawamura's pride surged, "Haha, we escaped. Let's go, follow this general. As long as we get there,
Fucheng, in keeping you, everyone has merit and everyone benefits."
After motivating the brothers below, Kawamura Sogo felt that his steps seemed to be much lighter when he ran out of the city.
The story of a group of hundreds of Japanese people escaping from the city tower was soon reported to the ears of division commander Huang Dingguo.
"Are there only a few hundred people?" When he heard the news, Huang Dingguo's face was somewhat dissatisfied.
He had prepared two regiments with 10,000 horses, including 5,000 cavalry, but hundreds of enemies were waiting for them. This was really disappointing.
Thinking about it on the other hand, if the siege army is so fierce, it would be great if some enemies could escape. How many more people can be expected to escape?
"Well, a few hundred people are okay. Haha, Chief of Staff, you keep an eye here while I, the division commander, go meet them." Although there were only a few hundred people, Huang Dingguo decided to go out in person, which was also an opportunity to stretch his muscles.
The Dahua Army has military regulations. Once an officer reaches the first regiment commander, he cannot go to the battlefield in person unless necessary.
The commander should be in the commander's position. Once there is a problem with the commander, it may cause the group to feel leaderless, which will be greatly detrimental to the battlefield.
If a division commander like Huang Dingguo wants to fight on the front line, it is not allowed by military regulations.
But this time it is different from the past. First of all, the New Fifth Army is a newly established army. Most of the generals in the army are young people. Compared with those veteran generals, they are more motivated.
Secondly, the number of enemies this time is very small, only a few hundred people. Huang Dingguo will lead 5,000 cavalry to attack. This is obviously bullying the minority with more, and there will definitely be no problems.
The chief of staff nodded after weighing the situation, and then said: "You can go, but you can only command in front of the formation, and you cannot kill the enemy in person."
"Okay, I understand." Huang Dingguo, who had remained unchanged in front of tens of thousands of troops, now acted like a primary school student, nodding his head to show that he had remembered everything. After that, he nodded happily.
Soldiers left.
After Kawamura Sogo and his men rushed out of the tower, they sprinted eastward.
At this time, Japan could not even feed its people, let alone their war horses. Therefore, they rarely rode horses, which allowed them to develop a pair of Scuds. After leaving Jiancheng, they flew very fast.
Running.
When Huang Dingguo came with a regiment of cavalry, it took him as long as a stick of incense. When he saw Kawamura Sogo who was still running away from a distance, he not only sighed, "Damn, these Japanese pirates
He's not tall, his legs aren't long, but he runs pretty fast. Haha, surround them."
After giving the order, the cavalry moved towards the two wings and surrounded the more than 400 Japanese pirates in an encirclement manner.
As Huan was running, thinking that he had finally escaped, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground unexpectedly came from behind him. When he turned around again, Kawamura Sogo and others were shocked.
They saw a cavalry team with no visible tail galloping towards them.
"There must be at least several thousand riders." Thinking of this, Sogo Kawamura did not run away, but ordered the soldiers to form a defensive circle, intending to make the final resistance.
The Dahua cavalry rushed in, surrounding the enemy, and then slowly moved forward, narrowing the encirclement.
The surrounded Kawamura Sogo and others seemed to know that they could not escape, so they all simply stood up with their swords in hand, looking at the Dahua Cavalry who were approaching step by step with despair in their eyes.
The leader, Sogo Kawamura, took the initiative to stand up, looked at the Dahua cavalry who had come to a stop and shouted: "This is the Japanese general Sogo Kawamura, please speak to your general."
"Oh, do you want to surrender or fight alone?" Huang Dingguo chuckled and walked out on horseback.
"Are you General Dahua? Do you dare to challenge me to a duel so that I can see the style of the Dahua Cavalry?"
Kawamura Sogo had already given up on the idea of escaping. What he was thinking about now was whether he could have someone on his back before he died.
"Commander, we only need one wave of arrows to kill these people, don't take any chances." The cavalry commander saw Kawamura Sougo's thoughts and advised him.
"Huh? What? Do you think there will be any danger if my division commander kills a defeated general?" Huang Dingguo, who was about to step forward, heard this and immediately showed displeasure on his face.
"No, division commander, this is military regulation. This is what the emperor has decreed." Seeing that his persuasion failed, the cavalry commander moved out of Tang Ao.
"Uh... Commander, I just have itchy hands for a moment. Don't worry, if he is too difficult to deal with, I will not take risks, I won't take risks." After hearing the military regulations, Huang Dingguo squeezed out a smile on his face, and also
Before the group leader could say anything else, he squeezed his legs slightly and rode forward on horseback.
As if he was afraid that the cavalry commander would say something else, Huang Dingguo jumped on his horse and shouted at the same time: "Come on, let me, commander, see what kind of skills you have."
"kill!"
Seeing a general rushing out of the Dahua cavalry, Kawamura Sogo also looked happy. He immediately clamped his legs together and rushed towards Huang Dingguo.
Kawamura Sougo used a samurai sword. He had also learned martial arts at Tebu Hall, and his own martial arts was pretty good.
