Now, even if they know that what they are chasing is just a vain delusion, these Japanese troops will not stop advancing.
That is the only hope they can pursue, even if there is only a dead end in front of them.
Until ten o'clock in the morning, the autumn sun slowly rose from the distant horizon, like a red balloon.
The Japanese camp was very simple and did not even have foxholes.
For these Japanese soldiers, last night was a rare and peaceful night.
They didn¡¯t even hear the roar of fighter jets and bombers, and they didn¡¯t have to worry about aerial bombs falling from the sky at any time and blowing them to pieces.
These Japanese soldiers slept very peacefully last night.
Although it was around six o'clock in the morning, they had to get up, gather, and be ready to move on.
But those peaceful few hours last night were already considered a very luxurious enjoyment for them.
"Jiro Kuroyama yawned and stretched a lot.
In the past time, his schedule and rest were basically the same as those of his soldiers.
Even most of the time, when his soldiers were resting, Jiro Kuroyama was studying the retreat route and the direction of the breakout with his staff officers.
However, for them, this is already a common occurrence.
The Chief of Staff Watanabe Yoshizen who was standing next to him came over and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, should we break out according to the original plan?"
Jiro Kuroyama nodded and said: "Yes, that is the nearest route. Have our forward reconnaissance troops returned from delivering information?"
¡°Not yet, but more than an hour ago, they said they found some enemy positions five kilometers ahead.
However, those positions are not large in scale and basically cannot pose much threat to us. They may be the enemy's outposts. "
"So, we are slowly approaching another enemy's line of defense."
Jiro Kuroyama picked up the telescope and looked at the mist-shrouded horizon ahead.
Although the morning sun slowly creeps out from the eastern skyline, the mist still lingers in the distance, like a veil.
He had some bad premonitions in his heart, but now Jiro Kuroyama couldn't tell the source of that ominous premonition.
So he turned around and looked behind him.
"Have the enemy's pursuit troops not arrived yet?"
Jiro Kuroyama asked.
¡°Our troops in charge of the rear found no trace of the enemy.
Our troops retreat quickly enough, and the enemy may not be able to catch up with us. "
Watanabe Jiashan said, but it was more like he was comforting himself through these words.
"okay, I get it."
Jiro Kuroyama nodded, then looked forward and gave the order for the troops to continue setting off.
The Japanese troops once again walked across this flat field, raising a thin layer of smoke and dust in the air.
After their team advanced for about half an hour, Kuroyama Jiro finally received a telegram.
That was the telegram sent to them by the scouts at the front.
The main content includes the discovery of the enemy's main position. The number of people is unknown, but the coverage area is large. I think there should be more people, at least more than 5,000 people.
The enemy is composed of troops from the Eighth Route Army. Judging from the firepower configuration, it is similar to the Eighth Route Army encountered before.
In addition, the defensive positions constructed by this group of Eighth Route Army troops are more complete than before.
At the same time, no other situations or traces of activities of the Fourth Army troops were found.
Seeing this telegram, Kuroyama Jiro finally relaxed a little.
If only the Eighth Route Army troops were stationed in the front, he would still have the confidence to lead the troops to break through the enemy's defense line.
If it is the main force of the Fourth Army, it will be stationed in the front.
Now even if their troops are equipped with hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, Jiro Montenegro does not have enough confidence to break through the enemy's defense line.
At this moment, a buzzing sound came again.
Hearing that sound, even if Jiro Kuroyama didn't look up, he knew that it was a formation of aerial bombers from the Fourth Army, coming to bomb them.
He roared angrily: "Everyone, take cover immediately!! The enemy is bombing!!"
In fact, before his order was issued, the Japanese soldiers were already in the wilderness, looking for any place that could provide them with cover.
Two minutes later, the Fourth Army's bomber and fighter formations began to violently bomb the marching Japanese troops.
¡°Boom!!!!¡±
Amidst the loud noise, the Japanese troops began to recall the fear they felt when being bombed day and night by the enemy's air force.
Xia Yang rode on an armored vehicle and arrived at the position where the Eighth Route Army troops held firm during the day yesterday.
At this time, two regiments of the Eighth Route Army had been assembled there.
After retreating, they did not move to the rear, but went around to the side. After the large Japanese army passed, they returned to their positions.
After disposing of the remains of the soldiers on the position, they rebuilt the position and blocked the retreat of the Japanese army.
Xia Yang jumped off the armored vehicle and saw the row of Eighth Route Army soldiers standing in neat formation with their thin chests raised.
On their bodies, there is still the blood and dust stained on them during yesterday's battle.
Xie Wenbin, the commander of the first regiment, and Bai Yaowen, the commander of the second regiment, took a step forward and saluted Xia Yang with a military salute.
Xie Wenbin said loudly: "Reporting to Commander Xia, our department has been ordered to cooperate with your army in fighting. Now I accept your full command."
When he finished speaking, Bai Yaowen said: "Our army was ordered to hold on for six hours again, and actually held on for six and a half hours.
There was no hope of destroying the Japanese troops, and our own casualties exceeded 2,000. Please advise! "
Hearing this, Xia Yang sighed and returned a military salute to them: "You have suffered huge casualties. Now I order you to go to the rear to rest immediately.
The troops of our Fourth Army will take over your defense and continue to attack the Japanese army. "
"What? Go to the rear to rest? That won't work."
Xie Wenbin immediately shook his head.
But Bai Yaowen, who was next to him, poked him with his hand and said loudly: "Report to Commander Xia, Lao Xie is a rough man and can't speak.
What he meant was that although we suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers were very enthusiastic about fighting and could continue to participate in the pursuit of the Japanese army. "
Xia Yang looked at them, then looked at the soldiers behind them, and then said aloud: "Continue to participate in the battle? Are you sure?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
