    The sound of gunfire has already been heard from Huangtuao in the north. Needless to say, it must be Battalion Commander Deng¡¯s guard battalion that has engaged the enemy¡¯s pursuers.  Everyone was extremely nervous, and the speed of sorting out was obviously accelerated, and soon they began to move forward.

    Matsushita Seijiro listened to the sound of the cannon, raised his telescope and looked ahead, only to see two mountains sandwiching the road. He was confused again, and saw a flash of fire in the green.  When the artillery shell exploded in the Japanese brigade at the foot of the mountain, he was palpitating. He immediately ordered the entire army to stop chasing immediately, return to the cave entrance, and no longer pursue the enemy.

    Captain Hotan next to him asked unwillingly: "Your Majesty Colonel, in front of us are just a group of defeated soldiers fleeing. They don't look like an ambush in front of them, but like a blockade. We can completely break through their defenses.  After capturing their position, why did you order the withdrawal?"

    Matsushita Seijiro frowned, turned his face, and asked him: "Wada-kun, have you ever seen a defeated soldier who is so slow in advancing and retreating?"

    Captain Hotan was startled for a moment, nodded, and said: "Yes, although they retreated, it doesn't seem like they were defeated."

    Matsushita Yasujiro smiled and said: "Have we suffered too many losses? Our opponent is the most famous commander of the 74th Army. He has too many tricks. Even if the front is not an ambush, but an interception  , I don¡¯t want our soldiers to take this risk anymore!¡±

    Captain Wada nodded in agreement, but at the same time he was a little confused and asked: "Since Colonel Colonel is worried about falling into the enemy's trick again, why do we still pursue him?"

    Matsushita Yasujiro rolled his eyes at him. He didn't understand why Captain Wada had such a big pig head. Seeing that he still didn't understand, he just reminded him: "Don't forget, your Excellency, the division commander, said to us  The 20th Regiment is already very dissatisfied. His goal is for us to annihilate the main force of the Chinese army. If we know that the enemy has fled and do not pursue us, what do you think the division commander will think?"

    Captain Wada suddenly realized that Matsushita Seijiro had no real intention to pursue him in the first place. He was just doing this to deceive others and silence Shangfeng's mouth.  His real purpose is to preserve his strength and avoid further casualties in this unit.  As a part of this regiment and a fellow countryman of Matsushita Seijiro, Captain Wada finally understood what his commander meant. After all, it was also related to his own destiny, so of course he obeyed.

    In fact, Matsushita Seijiro could see through the outcome of this battle. Just as he expected before the war, the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Japanese army. The Chongguang detachment originally planned to advance together in the north had been defeated by the National Army's 73rd Army.  The army was completely suppressed and could not advance westward at all, so it had to retreat; while the Guangen detachment in the south had already occupied Wuyang Town in Suining County and wanted to go straight to the Hongjiang River along the Wu River as planned, but before it could gain a firm foothold, it  It has been surrounded by the National Army's Third Front Army, but its other brigade was defeated at the gate of Wugang City and was completely wiped out by the 58th Division of the Seventy-Fourth Army of the National Army. Most of the Sekine detachment  Being in Wuyang Town, the escape route has been cut off, and there is no way to take a step forward. For fear that it will follow the footsteps of the 109th Regiment, which is the vanguard of the 116th Division, it is anxious to get closer to the entrance of the cave, but it is difficult to deal with it and rush forward.  Not coming out.  In desperation, the 20th Army Division Commander Ichiro Banishi, who was far away in Baoqing, urgently mobilized the resources of Guangxi and the Japanese 34th Division went north to assist the Sekine detachment in breaking out. However, the 34th Division was faced with the national attack.  The army resisted tenaciously and could not advance, so they had to linger in the Xinning area.

    For the 116th Division, at this time, it has fallen into a great passivity. The 109th Regiment in the north was trapped for many days and was unable to break out of the siege. The troops sent to rescue were also trapped in the country.  Surrounded by the army, the situation took a turn for the worse. It was obviously impossible to attack Zhijiang westward according to the original plan. At this time, faced with internal and external difficulties, as well as the groans of countless wounded soldiers, the commander of the Hisita Division finally found his conscience and turned to himself.  Commander Kamimine Sakanishi Ichiro requested the withdrawal of troops.  Lieutenant General Ichiro Banishi was still feeling more uncomfortable than Hishida at this time. His three groups of soldiers had not yet rushed out, and the central and southern groups were also in dire straits. This battle plan had obviously failed.

    The commander-in-chief of the Japanese Sixth Front Army, Naosaburo Okabe, had opposed this operation from the beginning. At this time, he once again requested the headquarters of the dispatched army in Nanjing to immediately stop the operation plan. This made Okamura Neiji very angry and immediately  He sent his own staff officer Xiao Lin to the front line to investigate.

    ****************

    ???????????????????????????????????????? We heard the sound of gunfire from the Loess Pass had ceased, and a messenger ran over to report to Zhang Xian that the Japanese pursuers had retreated, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

    But there is another more difficult problem before Zhang Xian. He has promised Dr. Huang that he will do it at dawn tomorrow.?The Japanese who can speak Chinese must be that mute Panasonic!  "Xiong Sanwa said bitterly: "He is the worst among the Japanese!  "

    Lei Lei glanced at him and asked, "Where have all these devils gone?"

    The old blacksmith shook his head and said: "These Japs only station some troops in the south of the city. The other Japs don't live in the city. They have all gone outside the city. I don't know where exactly they have gone."

    "Oh, that's it!" Lei Lei was a little disappointed. The old blacksmith didn't even know where the Japs' brigade was staying, so how could he possibly know the Japs' hospital?

    While he was thinking about it, the old blacksmith asked him: "What are you asking about the whereabouts of the Japanese? Are you trying to sneak attack them?"

    Lei Lei smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

    The old blacksmith thought he had guessed well and told him: "I don't know where they have gone, but I can find someone for you who knows where these devils have gone."

    "Oh?" Lei Lei and Xiong Sanwa quickly became interested and asked, "How does he know?"

    The old blacksmith smiled and said: "This man is a nearby mountain man. When he was returning home from the cave, he was caught by the Japanese. He carried burdens for them. At the same time, dozens of people were captured by the Japanese. He is a very thoughtful person.  When the Japanese were not paying attention, he got into the grass and escaped. According to him, all those who were arrested were buried alive by the Japanese, and he was the only one who escaped."

    "These damn devils!" Xiong Sanwa cursed bitterly.

    "Where is this person now?" Lei Lei asked hurriedly.

    The old blacksmith said: "This man saw that the entrance of the cave was surrounded by Japanese soldiers and couldn't get away, so he had to run back to the city at the entrance of the cave. He is a relative of mine and is hiding in my shop now. If you think it is useful, I will  Go call him out now!"

    "That's great!" Lei Lei said repeatedly.

    After the old blacksmith moved to the shop, he soon led a man out. When Xiong Sanwa saw this man, he couldn't help shouting: "Old Shao? Why is it you?"

    Yes, this person is none other than the fellow villager Lao Shao who sent Xiong Sanwa and Wei Lengzi into the cave.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
