() The mortars and heavy machine guns of the three dogs, their mule and horse convoys, were not as fast as the light infantry in pursuit, and after all, they had to march along the road.

And those infantry are fighting in the mountains, rivers, wading, etc., there is nothing to stop, nothing will feel troublesome, everything is mainly about competing for time.

But because of the light equipment, sometimes even if they caught up with the Japanese troops, because of the lack of heavy firepower, there was no way to take it down, as if even if they grabbed a big bone, they still couldn't gnaw it, and they were in a hurry.

But as soon as the heavy weapons of the three dogs came, these problems were immediately solved, and the Japanese army was nothing more than using the temporary terrain or positions to resist and pursue.

With the mortars of the three dogs, the enemy's machine-gun fire points will soon be pulled out or suppressed, and the Japanese army will soon continue to retreat.

The two sides of the road were littered with horse bones, and the Japanese carried five days' food per person in this battle, while the horses only had three days' fodder.

Originally, the Japanese army wanted to find supplies in the local area while fighting, that is, to plunder the supplies of the local people.

The Japanese army could only reduce the ration of supplies for each person to two-thirds per day, and the five-day allowance could be extended to seven days.

But the horses were fed only for three days, even two-thirds of the day, and after the fifth day, there was nothing to eat, so a large number of horses starved to death.

As soon as the horses starved to death, these soldiers immediately ate horse meat, and supplemented it with horse meat, so that the bones of horses were everywhere, but these military horses, who had been trained so hard, were starved to death and eaten by their own masters when they came here.

As soon as the mules and horses died, the cavalry was the first to bear the brunt, and now the Japanese cavalry department has become infantry, and can only run on its own two legs.

The second thing that was affected was the artillery, these bulky mountain artillery, which needed mules and horses to pull, and without mules and horses, the artillery could only go on their own, dragging and pushing these hundreds of pounds of big iron lumps.

The artillery units complained and complained bitterly, but they could not discard the artillery, and like the cavalry, they ran away on their own.

Even if the shells run out, these cannons are the treasures of the artillerymen, and they are also their reason for existence.

The last to be affected was the wounded soldiers, and after ten days of continuous fighting, the Japanese field hospital was full of wounded soldiers, and the wounded soldiers in the field hospital were satisfied.

With so many wounded soldiers, a large number of stretcher teams were needed to carry them to retreat, but almost all of them were requisitioned to become infantry, because the combat consumption was too great, and it was necessary to maintain sufficient troops in the front.

Without the stretcher team, it could have been possible to transport wounded soldiers by car, but now almost all of the automobile fuel department has run out, and the fuel dropped by the airdrop is only enough for a few cars.

The key is that the road was very damaged, and in the base camp of the Japanese army in Sixi, the Japanese sappers could build the road, and later even the sappers were conscripted into the infantry camp.

Now that I have withdrawn from Sixi, every two steps of the road will become a mud pit, and it has been dug into a paddy field by the ** and the people, and the road cannot be restored to its original state in a short time, and the car can only be stopped.

Cars are not good, and mules and horses can be used to pull carts to transport wounded soldiers and baggage, but now that the mules and horses are almost dead, these wounded soldiers, especially the seriously wounded, those with broken arms are better and can walk on their own.

Those who broke their legs were miserable, they couldn't go, they could only be abandoned, and the vanguard of the middle ** killed them at the site of the Japanese army field hospital, and they met these seriously wounded, and they basically killed them with one shot.

Some Japanese troops were even more cruel to the seriously wounded, shooting them to death, then burning them or cutting off their fingers, wrapping their name tags, and taking them away.

At present, the order of the retreat of the Japanese army is roughly as follows: the elite units of the division and regiment open the way in front, the division headquarters is behind, followed by the main force, the baggage department, the baggage unit, the hospital, and the artillery.

This sort is also reasonable, after all, it is necessary to protect the security of the command system first, and then the main force and miscellaneous forces, but now the Japanese troops in front of them are not comfortable.

Those who broke through in the direction of Gao'an to the east were fiercely blocked by the 70th and 49th armies, which pulled out the precious artillery units and desperately bombarded the Japanese front, causing the Japanese troops without artillery support to retreat again and again.

The Japanese army is also human, and without the support of superior firepower, it is also like a bird, even if it is the elite unit of the 34th Division.

The key is that the 34th Division has not had enough food for a few days, the soldiers' physical strength cannot keep up, coupled with the lack of ammunition, there is almost no heavy firepower to attack the fortifications, and in the face of the mountain artillery, it is also unbearable.

The 34th Division broke through in the direction of Tangpu in the north, and was also attacked head-on by the 57th and 58th Divisions of the 74th Army.

In the previous continuous battles, the 74th Army suffered great losses, but now it is the last five minutes of fighting with the Japanese army, and it is gritting its teeth to withstand this final decisive moment.

In order to be able to surround and annihilate the 34th Division, the Luo General Headquarters mobilized a large number of high-ranking villagers to transport grain and ammunition for the front line.

Sangou and Xiucai analyzed and empathized, as far as it seems that if they were the 34th Division, they should not put the main breakthrough direction in the direction of Gao'an in the east.

Because even if you break through Yangwei Town, there are also places such as Longtan and Naphtha, so you can go to Gao'an, and now Gao'an is still occupied by Zhong**.

Along the way, I don't know how many times I have to be blocked, ambushed, and intercepted by the troops of several military-level units before I can escape back to Nanchang.

The key point is that this line is only a part of the strength of the 20 brigades, and they themselves are difficult to protect, and they cannot play a practical role in protecting and rescuing the 34 divisions.

If you break through to the north, it seems that you have taken a detour and taken a long way, but it is actually more feasible, because there is the 33rd Division on this side first.

Although the 33rd Division only had two wings and one field artillery brigade, it was different from the 34th Division and the 20th Brigade in that it did not go through continuous fighting and lack of food and ammunition.

In addition, in addition to the two divisions of the 74th Army, the 33rd Division also faced the Ninth Division of the 70th Army and several divisions of the Sichuan Army.

The most important thing is that as long as the 34th Division and the 33rd Division meet, they will be able to get some food and ammunition to solve the urgent need and restore the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the 34th Division.

The 33rd Division is still an operation with rear support. Otherwise, even if you break through the Gao'an line, a large number of people will starve to death on the way.

What they analyzed was also what the 34th Division Da He Mao analyzed, and Da He Mao finally decided to get closer to the 33rd Division of the reinforcements, and escaped back to Nanchang by taking advantage of the life channel of the 33 Division. Fupin Chinese
