Captain Nikko Taro commanded more than 40 Japanese under his command to push the war defense artillery and quickly turn into the city wall.

Its team turned from the outermost defense line of Heishan County to the west wall of Heishan.

I have already had sufficient experience in running away.

After receiving the order from Captain Ikawa Masaru, the entire team of Japanese soldiers began to escape in an orderly manner.

Captain Nikko Taro led the team to move quickly and loaded all the shells and tools onto the mule's back, driving the mule team away.

The captain of Fengmao Xiushu led the team to promote the retreat of war defense artillery.

They are not slow either.

Quickly retreat from the newly built artillery position and run fast on the fire-burning city wall.

They ran fast and were still in the range of artillery bombardment.

"Boom!" A shell exploded next to Captain Nikko Taro.

Nearly twenty war defense cannons pushed by the Japanese were blown up and flew up three or four meters high.

When it landed again, the war defense cannons had fallen, the tires were blown away, and the cannon racks were dispersed.

The war defense artillery has become like this, not to mention the endings of the Japanese following it.

The 150 mm caliber shell exploded, and Captain Nikko Taro died on the spot.

Most of the Japanese in this team died on the spot, leaving only a very small number of Japanese who were strong in vitality and had excellent luck but were still injured but not dead.

He fell to the ground and moaned shrillly.

Seeing the war defense cannon in front of him being blown away, Sergeant Sato suddenly became panicked.

As a Japanese man who followed Captain Ikawa Masaru all the way forward.

It has long since had no will to continue fighting.

The three transfers made all the Japanese in the Ikawa Masashi Squadron lose their fighting spirit.

Seeing Nikko Taro and the others were blown away, Fengmao Hideki fell to the ground and moaned and begging for help: "Save me! Save me!"

The moans of the plump tree were on the last straw that overwhelmed it.

Sato Masaru seemed to see his fate next.

It no longer pushes the war defense cannons, and runs away.

A war defense cannon was jointly promoted by more than ten Japanese. In theory, one more is not more, and one less is not less.

However, after Sergeant Sato Masao threw the cannon and ran away, the war defense cannon stopped moving.

It seems that Sergeant Sato is an indispensable character.

"Eight types! Sato Jun! Your stop!

Stop!" Squadron Captain Ikawa Masahiro shouted the order.

Captain Ikawa Masa could see at a glance that the entire squadron was on the verge of collapse, and if he could not call Sato Masa back.

All of those men who are ready to move will throw down their war defense cannons and escape.

Sergeant Sato, who was frightened by fear, couldn't listen to any orders and continued to run wildly.

The Japanese who had just pushed the cannons were all relaxed at this time, moving their steps one by one, ready to escape.

"Bang!" Captain Ikawa Ma's squadron pulled out his pistol and shot Sato Ma's escape.

A bloody flower suddenly burst out from Sato's head, who had run more than ten meters away.

The sound of the gunshot was not loud on the city wall where the shells exploded, but it shocked the entire squadron of the Japanese.

Many Japanese devils saw it clearly: Sergeant Sato Masashi was shot by the squadron leader and it was impossible for him to survive again.

Sato Masa, who fell to the ground, did not make any struggling moves at all, and was obviously dead.

The Japanese who had escaped for a few steps saw the fate of the escape.

He quietly moved back and continued to retreat with the war defense cannon.

A war defense cannon was bombed, as if it had caused the entire war defense artillery brigade to break the achievements.

Next, the second and third combat defense cannons were blown away.

Even the cannon guarding by Captain Ikawa Ma was blown away.

Captain Ikawa Ma, who had been waving his pistol and commanding the entire squadron to escape like a fierce and evil spirit, died.

As soon as it died, the entire squadron of the Japanese immediately threw down the cannon and ran away.

The artillery troops temporarily transferred to the city wall escaped, which also affected the Yoshino Infantry Brigade, which was originally guarding the city wall.

The Japanese in the Yoshino Infantry Brigade of Hoshino have not been idle these days. They are strengthening the trenches and fortresses on the city wall every day.

These Japanese also knew very well how solid the three lines of defense outside Heishan County were.

The three lines of defense outside the city were built by the division engineer corps and the laborers of the Shanggan.

What these Japanese inquired privately was that each line of defense could be held at least for three months to six months.

The three lines of defense can be maintained for a total of one or even two years. However, the plan is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

Not to mention guarding for two years or three months, now that the national army has rushed out of the city without guarding for half a day.

The Japanese in Yoshino's brigade are not afraid that it is fake.

Although they have been accustomed to showing off their power in the Northeast over the years, the news that the National Army destroyed their twenty infantry divisions in just one month has long been quietly circulated in the team.

Although Commander Suichi Deanuchi strictly prohibited the circulating of these unfavorable news in the team, the Japanese were all trying hard to inquire about this news in private.

Captain Sho Onoji could think with his toes: the Eikura Takuma Division was urgently mobilized to defend Heishan County, which could only prove that all the territory west of Heishan County was lost.

You should know that a month ago: the captain and the corps leader often mentioned the words they said were attacking North China and occupying the entire Central Plains.

And he also told the low-level officers very mysteriously that the empire was ready and the battle would go on soon.

The battle did go on, but they were defending on the edge of Heishan County.

Captain Sho Onode was hiding in the trenches. He watched various artillery soldiers hurry up onto the city wall and then flee in a hurry under the bombardment of artillery fire.

Looking at the escaped artillery soldiers, it was fake that Captain Sho Onodera was not moved.

But the military order is like a mountain, and it is still struggling in its heart: Escape or hold on?

This is a very difficult choice.

The captain of Tokugawa 56 Squadron was also struggling. It felt the trembling on the ground getting more and more intense, and the idea of ​​running away became stronger and stronger.

At this moment, it felt the vibration of the ground become stronger and stronger.

Next the ground starts to slide!

"The city wall is about to collapse!" Corporal Takeda Sanmu shouted in horror.

"Run! Run!" The captain of Tokugawa 56 Squadron no longer had to worry or hesitate and immediately issued a retreat order.

Its orders did not come quickly without the collapse of the city wall, and even the three mu corporals in Takeda could not escape.

The collapsed city wall buried half of Tokugawa Fifty-sixth Squadron into the ruins.

The collapse of this section of the city wall of Tokugawa Fifty-sixth Squadron seemed to have knocked down the first Domino.

The city walls began to collapse!

Captain Ryota Hoshino hid in the command center, looking at the broken city wall, wondering what to do?

It originally designed a complete defensive firepower on the city wall, and each firepower point was carefully calculated.

The attacking national army cannot find any flaws, and now the city wall has collapsed.

It designed and built on the fortresses and trenches above the city walls, and all fortifications were buried in the collapsed ruins.

what to do?

Captain Sho Onodera no longer hesitated and ran down from the city wall with him.

I ran to the streets of the west of the city and found that only more than fifty Japanese were escaped from the entire squadron.

The rest of the Japanese were either killed by shells or buried by collapsed city walls.

The remaining Japanese soldiers from Tokugawa Fifty-sixth Squadron also escaped.

The captain of Onoji-shin knew that his behavior was a deserter.

In order to atone for his sins, it set up a shelter site on West Street to gather all the escaped Japanese.

The infantry running upside down could obediently follow its command and wait obediently on both sides of the street.

But those artillery soldiers ignored them and insisted on forcing them.

These artillery soldiers were originally drawn from various infantry brigades by the commander of the Takuma Eikura Division. At first, they were commanded by Captain Gen Ryunosuke, who were bombarded with artillery fire on the city walls.

When the squadron leader Gen Ryunosuke was killed, the mortar soldiers who survived by chance immediately ended.

When they ran away, they held the mortars, and these Japanese still had some rationality: they knew that deserters would be punished.
