Takahashi felt a chill on his back, because the empty city gate was so abnormal.
But at this time, should Takahashi be allowed to just retreat like this?
Then what will he tell Captain Ito when he goes back?
It was said that I entered the South City Gate and there was no one inside. I thought it was probably a trap by the enemy, and then I didn’t go in? I just ran back?
In that case, Ito might slap him with a big mouth.
Because you dare not seize an empty city gate, so what else can you do?
So Takahashi thought about it and finally decided to go to the city wall to take a look. What if the enemy really missed the defense of the South City Gate due to lack of troops?
Thinking of this, Takahashi waved his hands to the left and right, and his two teams climbed up to the city wall on the left and right, while Takahashi stayed at the city gate to respond.
Everything went smoothly. The two squads of Japanese soldiers climbed halfway up the city wall and no enemy was found.
Takahashi even thought that maybe he was worrying too much. And he actually had the urge to take out a cigarette and take a puff to express how easy this mission was.
Before, he was still thinking that it would be a fierce battle to break into the Nancheng Gate, and it was not certain that he would die at the Nancheng Gate as a result.
But he didn't expect it to be that easy. He first sent two vanguards to investigate. There were no enemies guarding the south gate, and then he came in swaggeringly.
Is there any task easier than this in this world? As long as the imperial army on the city wall succeeds in a sneak attack, he will immediately send a signal and it will be over.
At that time, Captain Ito's army will take advantage of the chaos to counterattack, and as long as he persists at the city gate for fifteen minutes, his reinforcements will arrive. It can be said that by that time, no Chinese in the city will be able to escape, and all of them will be annihilated by the imperial army.
boom!
Chuchuchu! Chuchuchu!
Takahashi was thinking about good things, but at this moment, after a bloody signal flare was raised, gunfire suddenly broke out, and the Japanese team that had just climbed onto the city wall encountered machine gun fire.
Although the little Japs were careful, something happened suddenly and the Japs in front were instantly beaten into pieces.
The man fell backward, knocking over the Japs behind him, and then the Japs climbing the wall fell down like dominoes.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Japanese to stop, let alone shoot.
But the Northeastern Army on the city wall didn't care whether the Japs could stand or not, they would just shoot at the Japs who were still rolling.
Takahashi was shocked when he heard the machine gun fire and quickly led his troops to support.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, opposite the city gate, on the roof of the residential house, and behind the courtyard wall, a dark gun muzzle suddenly poked out. They didn't even say hello, but just pointed at Takahashi and other Japanese.
This is a real war, no joke. When shooting, you have to shout: Hey, little devil, look over here!
That was just a stroke in the brain. Because we have that time, it is better to kill a few more Japanese.
What's more, at this time, who would be in the mood to joke with the Japanese? When the red signal flare rises into the sky, the battle horn sounds.
At this moment, everyone fired all the bullets in their guns at the little devil.
At this time, it was difficult for Takahashi to protect himself, let alone support the Japanese who retreated from the city wall.
Takahashi realized something was wrong, and he didn't know whether it was because he was lucky, or whether the bullets were shooting at crowded places, but the little devil managed to crawl unscathed and hide behind the machine gun bunker at the gate of the city.
At this time, there were still three Japs who were lucky enough to survive, and even if the remaining Japs were not dead, they might not be able to retreat.
A small group of the Imperial Army was almost wiped out in less than half a minute, and Takahashi was so moved that he cried.
But at this time, the situation was over. Takahashi decisively ordered a retreat.
He can no longer stay at South City Gate. The other Japs were all dead, and there were only three people left beside him. If they were left behind, there would only be death.
Of course, going back might be a dead end. But that was after returning.
You may or may not die if you go back, but anyone would want to take a gamble by going back. What's more, he is Lord Ito's guard captain. For so many years, even if he has no merit, he still has hard work, right? As long as the captain is thinking about his old feelings, he won't die.
So thinking of this, Takahashi directly ordered a retreat. Although there were injured Japanese soldiers in front of his bunker calling him for help, he still retreated without hesitation.
The four people ran out of the south city gate, bullets flying behind the little devil.
One of the little devils was unlucky and was hit by a stray bullet.
The Japanese soldier screamed and shouted to take him away with him.
But at this time, Takahashi and the other two Japs, who would care about him, just hated their parents for having fewer legs and not being able to run fast enough.
Seeing that he was about to reach the city gate, Takahashi was overjoyed, because as long as he left the city gate, walked along the base of the city wall, or jumped into the trench outside the city, he would have a 99.99999% chance of surviving.
Takahashi was already ready to pounce, and he could even smell the free air. I just didn't want to see Wang Tong standing on the city wall at this moment, glanced down, then waved his hand and said: "Throw it away!"
Wang's voice has not yet finished. Seven or eight soldiers, holding grenades with fuses, threw them from the city wall.
Takahashi had just arrived at this time, and the grenade fell. And one of them hit him right on the head.
Takahashi's head was buzzing after being hit, but with rich combat experience, he immediately thought of grenades.
Because if he is on the city wall and there are enemies below the city wall, he will also throw grenades. Grenades are much easier to use than guns at this time.
The little devil didn't warn him because he didn't have the time. The moment the grenade hit his helmet and flew out, he flew three or four meters away and rolled to the edge of the trench outside the city.
Fortunately, he personally commanded the trench to be dug, otherwise he would not have been able to jump so accurately in such a dark night.
The person was still rolling on the ground, and at this moment, a series of explosions came, and the two Japanese soldiers beside Takahashi were blown away by grenades.
At this time, Takahashi rolled into the trench and fell to his death.
A trench is not like what you see in the TV series. A trench is dug into a trench. A real trench must be at least two meters long. Takahashi rolled over and fell sideways from a height of two meters. His face hit the soil of the trench and his skin was cut. Half of his face was covered in blood.
At this time, all kinds of pain on Takahashi's face, hands, stomach, and legs rushed to his nervous system.
But at this time, Takahashi didn't care so much. He got up from the trench, bowed and ran away. He wanted to escape, he must escape. He didn't want to die at all. He came to China to make achievements, and he never thought about asking to die in a foreign country.
"ah!"
Takahashi screamed in his heart and ran away like crazy.
Of course, he also thought about escaping along the trench and never returning to Captain Ito. But the reason he had not lost yet told him that he had nowhere to escape except Captain Ito. Because this is China, where can he escape after leaving Ito United? .
