The people from the cavalry regiment came over and saw only the war horses that had lost their owners, standing blankly in the forest under the darkness of night, looking extremely lonely.
As for the Japanese scouts, they had all turned into cold corpses, lying in a mess on the ground.
"Finish the kill, don't leave any survivors." Hu San said, then led dozens of his soldiers to approach the Japanese corpses.
They raised their automatic rifles and pointed them at the heads of the Japanese corpses, whether they were dead or alive, and fired in bursts.
Some Japanese soldiers who had not yet died were shot directly.
"It's almost done, let's go." After a while, Cai Heyuan came running over with more than a dozen of his soldiers.
Hu San nodded, and then said: "Let's go, continue to march on the flank of the main force, discover the little Japanese's scout troops, and destroy them immediately."
The same scene was happening on the flanks and rear of Xia Yang's main force.
On this night alone, four of the scout troops dispatched by the Japanese army to conduct reconnaissance were wiped out.
After a night of fighting, the remaining Japanese scouts obviously realized that the enemy moved quickly, and it was not too difficult to hunt them down.
So they kept a greater distance from Xia Yang and his troops. If you get too close, you run the risk of being discovered.
In the early morning of the next day, Hirabu Ichiro, the acting brigade commander of the Japanese 74th Brigade, had already received the information obtained by the scout cavalry last night.
"The enemy has begun to retreat towards the mountains to the south. They marched all night yesterday. However, because it was night and the road was rugged and difficult, they only went out for more than 20 miles. At the same time, our scout troops on the periphery were attacked by a large number of enemies. Attack, nearly half of the scout troops have been cleared by the enemy."
Seeing this information, Hirabuichiro frowned.
He was a little hesitant now, because his intuition told him that it was impossible for that group of enemies to retreat directly. This group of cunning, fox-like enemies will not be able to leave unless they can gain some benefits from their own troops.
If anything, they may know that support from the 32nd Brigade is coming. So I didn't want to have any more entanglements with myself, so I chose to evacuate the Wutai Mountain area.
Thinking about it carefully, there is only one possibility left.
But the less the enemy wants to be entangled with him, the more he has to entangle this enemy.
After thinking this way, Hirabu Ichiro immediately ordered: "Order the First Battalion and the Second Battalion to set off immediately to pursue the enemy. During the pursuit, the enemy must be constantly harassed from the flanks to delay them. Marching steps. Waiting for the support troops of the 32nd Brigade."
As soon as the order was given, the Japanese pursuit troops quickly completed their assembly.
They chose a route to pursue. According to the intelligence obtained by the scouts, Hirabu Ichiro already knew the approximate location of Xia Yang and his main force at this time.
Naturally, a force of two thousand people cannot annihilate the retreating enemies, but it can greatly delay their retreat. Once the reinforcements from the 32nd Brigade arrive, they can annihilate this enemy force of four to five thousand people in one fell swoop.
When night fell, Xia Yang and his troops set off again, advancing towards the mountains to the south.
The Japanese army chose to march during the day, following closely behind them, and even sent out small groups of troops to harass Xia Yang and his rear troops in the dark.
At the same time, they began to request assistance from Fujiwara Akutsu's troops. Let their troops begin to move closer to them, and they must surround Xia Yang and the others who want to retreat no matter what.
Xia Yang naturally understands Hirabu Ichiro's purpose very well.
The Japanese scout troops were wiped out in the mountains and forests by the guards and cavalry regiments. Of the hundreds of scouts who were originally sent out, there were now only a dozen or so left, still following Xia Yang and his team.
On the third day, night slowly fell. In a valley, Xia Yang and his troops set off again and began to move southward.
But this time, only part of their troops continued to advance south. There were only about two battalions of troops.
Although there were not many troops, Xia Yang asked each of them to hold a torch, and then the distance between everyone was kept at more than five meters.
Seen from a distance, the Japanese scout troops looked like Xia Yang and his main force advancing up the rugged mountains.
In the dark night, the Japanese scouts were not equipped with night vision binoculars. If they wanted to conduct reconnaissance, they could only observe the length of the team on the hillside in the distance.
They judge the length of the team by looking at the area illuminated by torches and flashlights. They did not dare to get too close for reconnaissance, because the frequent movements of the guard battalion and cavalry regiment during the day yesterday and today caused heavy losses to their scouting troops.
If they get too close, the remaining people they have may also be eliminated.
"I'm very surprised, why are they marching in the dark?" asked a scout cavalry.
The old scout cavalry said: "Probably to cover up their whereabouts."
But the scout cavalry immediately said: "Not necessarily. If that's the case, then why do they still raise these torches and flashlights? Aren't they afraid that we will find out?"
The old scout cavalry said: "Otherwise? The mountain road here is so difficult to walk. If they don't raise some torches, they are afraid that dozens of people will fall to the bottom of the cliff in one night. If they march on the road for a period of time, they may lose their strength. A big part of it will be lost.¡±
Hearing this, the scout cavalry also nodded.
This place is inaccessible, and the mountain roads in many places are so narrow that it is impossible for people to pass through. They scouted the cavalry, often marching by the moonlight above their heads.
But there has been no moonlight for the past two days, and it will be very difficult for them to march again. Fortunately, Xia Yang and the others were all infantrymen, and they all held torches, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to catch up.
"Report the situation here to the brigade commander," the old scout cavalry said.
The younger scout cavalry nodded, then took out the radio and started sending a report to Hiraho Ichiro. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
