    ¡°Itagaki-kun, is there any progress on your side?¡± Michutaro Komatsubara asked.

    After hearing this, Itagaki Seishiro said after a while: "I'm very sorry, we haven't made much progress here. What about your side?"

    Michutaro Komatsubara said: "The enemy's firepower was too fierce. We lost thousands of soldiers and were unable to make any progress. Moreover, intelligence showed that the enemy's armored forces had begun to move closer to us. We must hurry up.  Time retreated.¡±

    Itagaki Seishiro said after a while: "Okay, I will immediately order the troops to start retreating, just follow the retreat plan made yesterday."

    Michutaro Komatsubara said: "Remember not to cause chaos during the retreat. Each unit alternately covers the retreat and withdraws toward Hylar. Don't let the retreat turn into a rout."

    "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief." After saying this, Itagaki Seishiro put down the walkie-talkie with some reluctance, and then said: "Order the troops to start alternate cover to withdraw from the battlefield."

    Soon, his order was given to the troops in front.

    The Japanese soldiers who were still charging forward bravely, after hearing these words, immediately began to retreat from the hellish battlefield.

    And behind them, there are thousands of piled up remains of Japanese troops.

    Without this order to retreat, it is foreseeable that they will become one of those corpses.

    These Japanese soldiers were secretly grateful that they could survive, but they also felt sad for their comrades who died on the battlefield behind them.  This is a very complicated mood, but they have no time to savor it carefully, because the Soviet armored group troops are getting closer and closer to them.

    Seeing the Japanese troops retreating like a tide, Xia Yang knew that the Japanese troops were planning to retreat directly.

    Although the Japanese are crazy, they are not fools.  At this time, the Soviet armored forces were getting closer and closer. If they didn't retreat, it would really be no different from sticking out their necks and letting others chop them.

    "What should we do, chase or not, Master?" Liu Fudong asked Xia Yang. His tank regiment was ready and was just waiting for Xia Yang's order to launch a pursuit of the Japanese army.

    Xia Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, let the Soviets go after them first, and when the Japanese army really starts to collapse, our troops will follow up. Let's not always think about eating meat, it is easy for the bones to chatter our teeth, the soup has  It tastes better than meat when cooked, and it won¡¯t make your teeth grind.¡±

    Hearing this, Liu Fudong understood what Xia Yang meant.

    To put it bluntly, although the Japanese army is retreating now, it is not a retreat yet.  Their combat effectiveness is still there, but a hasty pursuit will increase unnecessary casualties.

    It would be better to let the Soviet armored divisions roaming around the periphery take the lead in attacking and fight to the death with the remaining Japanese troops.  After the last fighting spirit of the Japanese army was wiped out, it was time for Xia Yang and the others to start harvesting the lives of the Japanese army.

    Zhukov also received an order from the Japanese army to start retreating.

    Without any hesitation, he directly ordered the armored troops cruising around the perimeter to immediately pursue the Japanese troops and entangle these Japanese troops no matter what.  At the same time, it was suggested that Xia Yang's troops also immediately launch a pursuit.

    After receiving the order, the Soviet armored troops who had been waiting for several days on the periphery began to order the troops to pursue the Japanese army without saying a word.

    They wanted to participate in the battle against the Japanese army last night, but because it was too dark and there were many unstable factors, their night fighting experience was not as rich as Xia Yang's troops.  Therefore, under Xia Yang's suggestion, they did not participate in the battle against the Japanese army last night.

    But it was different now. It was already broad daylight, and the Japanese army was stepping up their retreat. It took them less than two hours from withdrawing from the battlefield to completing the assembly before the retreat.

    Before seven o'clock, the first Japanese troops to retreat had already taken off and began to retreat to the Hailar area.

    The retreat route they took this time was the same route Xia Yang took when he retreated from the Hailar area to Tamtsag Prague.

    The Japanese 34th and 36th Divisions have become familiar with the route in the process of pursuing Xia Yang's troops.  Therefore, the 34th Division, as the leader, was at the forefront of the retreating troops.

    "The person responsible for the rear is the fifth division with the strongest combat effectiveness.

    Being the rear unit is undoubtedly the most dangerous. When determining which unit should be the rear unit, several division commanders of the Japanese army also argued endlessly.

    oneUntil the end, Itagaki Seishiro took the initiative to stand up and stated that his fifth division would be responsible for the rear.

    Michutaro Komatsubara looked at Seishiro Itagaki. He knew that the Fifth Division had suffered heavy losses and was not the best choice to take charge of the rear.  But now that he proposed it on his own initiative, he couldn't stop it.

    What¡¯s more, Komatsubara Michutaro could see a kind of stubbornness in Itagaki Seishiro¡¯s eyes.

    That means you are afraid of everything and dare not do anything.  Then let me do these things. I am not afraid of taking the blame, I just want to win.

    That is a kind of stubbornness towards victory!  Even if it means sacrificing his fifth division, he will not hesitate.

    The Soviet armored division and a motorized infantry division roaming around the periphery immediately launched a pursuit of the Japanese troops.  At the same time, various fighter jets and bombers at the field airport also began bombardment.

    Xia Yang jumped on top of a tank, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "The troops are moving out, chasing the Japanese army!"

    After saying that, he led the mighty armored troops to pursue the Japanese army.

    The Japanese troops retreated quickly and in an orderly manner.

    Although they have suffered successive defeats, it can be seen that their military discipline is still very good.  The various troops did not rush to retreat in the direction of Hylar, but retreated in an orderly manner according to the established plan.

    Reconnaissance planes hovered above the heads of the Japanese troops, monitoring their every move.  On the vast grassland, these large-scale Japanese troops had basically nowhere to hide, and they could only let the reconnaissance planes report their whereabouts to the Soviet command headquarters behind them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
