The surrender of the remnants of the Xin Yonggong Regiment on the battlefield was just a small wave on the battlefield of Chaigou, and it was soon drowned in the pursuit frenzy set off by the army of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhao Dahe, commander of the armored regiment of the Eighth Route Army, commanded the armored regiment to take the lead, with battalions and companies as units, and the troops marched at high speed along the highway and country road from Zhucheng to Gaomi. As long as they catch up, it will be several to one until the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and cars are broken into tatters.

Now, what Zhao Dahe wants to pursue is Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, the commander of the 1st Division of the Japanese Tank Division.

Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto and his wing-commanders, who fled in embarrassment, had long since lost the arrogance they had when they first arrived at the Chaigou battlefield, and one by one they were like defeated roosters, huddled in chariots, armored cars, and cars, hoping to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible and return to Gaomi City.

Zhao Dahe exposed himself from the turret of his command vehicle, held a telescope, carefully observed the progress of the pursuing troops, and kept issuing orders to all battalions and companies to hurry, hurry, and hurry, and must catch up with the Japanese participating tank troops who fled the battlefield and destroy it!

There was no need for Zhao Dahe to keep giving orders, the cadres and soldiers of the armored regiment were all full of energy, stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, and pursued forward desperately (). Come to think of it, I finally met the Japanese army's 1st tank division, but before the armored regiment attacked, the artillery brother wiped out the Japanese puppet army that was the main force of the 1st Japanese tank division and assisted in the attack. In particular, the newly established rocket artillery regiment of the artillery column is simply the reincarnation of Thor, the reincarnation of Vulcan, and a salvo is a sea of fire, not to mention people and horses, including those tanks, armored vehicles, and cars, all of which have been burned into fireballs, where is there any need for the armored regiment to shoot! Now that it is finally the turn of the armored regiment to enter the pursuit, can the soldiers spare the remnants of the Japanese army who fled the battlefield?

Immediately behind the armored regiment were the armored vehicles and cars of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Column and the 1st Brigade of the Eighth Route Army and the Heavy Machine Gun Regiment of the Heavy Machine Gun Brigade.

Behind the armored group, there were infantry in one column and four columns, and the soldiers followed behind the armored group, like a big flood, and spread in the direction of Gaomi.

With such a might, if the Japanese puppet army can still escape, it will really be the manifestation of Amaterasu!

When they ran to the village of Rikujia, the remnants of Hoshino Toshimoto's troops were caught up by the armored regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

It stands to reason that Hoshino Toshimoto fled the battlefield before the Eighth Route Army's armored regiment attacked, and should be able to enter Gaomi City in front of the Eighth Route Army, but unfortunately this is a war, a war with the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, where will Liu Yimin let him get his wish? No, the No. 1 Special Operations Squadron led by Wang Laohu hid in the sorghum field near Lujia Village, and it was killed at this time.

Originally, no matter how powerful the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army was, it was no match for the Japanese tank division. But now Hoshino Liyuan has completely abandoned the main force under the muzzle of the artillery group of the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Chaigou, the so-called falling phoenix is not as good as a chicken, who will he beat if he doesn't beat him?

Wang Laohu's No. 1 Special Operations Squadron moved to the vicinity of Lijiazhuang on the night of Li Lingfeng's attack on Chaigou, and nested in the sorghum fields near Lujiazhuang for a day and a night. When the Japanese army attacked the first line of Chaigou, Wang Laohu did not move. Now it's his turn to show his skills.

This Lijia Village is located at the crossroads, the north-south direction is the highway leading to Gaomi from Zhucheng, and there is a big road leading to the Weihe Ferry and Jiaohe Ferry in the east-west direction, which is a big market town. Before the Anti-Japanese War, there was an episode in Lujia Village every five days, and the villagers of the four towns and eight villages would push a cart to catch the market, sell grain, sell eggs, and exchange for the items needed by their families. The baked cakes in the town are famous far and wide, and even the people in Gaomi City like to eat them, and the signboard is the Luojia Village baked cakes.

It is now a time of war, and the market trade in Lujia Village is intermittent, and it is long gone. As soon as the Eighth Route Army started in Chaigou, the villagers of Lujia Village had already gone last night, and the whole village was empty, only the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold was vigilantly patrolling and guarding the communication line.

Wang Laohu didn't need to alarm the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold, what he had to do was to stop the remnants of the Japanese army from defeating, so that they could not escape to Gaomi City smoothly, and not let the big fish slip through the net. Therefore, Wang Laohu bypassed the stronghold of Lijia Village and laid out a battlefield on both sides of the road at the north end of the market town, and the five squads were in formation, with bazookas, single rocket launchers, machine guns, and grenadiers all pointing to the road to the south, waiting for the fish to arrive!

As for the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold of Lijia Village, Wang Laohu didn't care, and when Zhao Dahe's armored regiment caught up, it only took a few cannons to blow up the little devil's turret and pillbox, Wang Laohu was reluctant to waste his precious rockets to deal with those brick and wood Japanese fortifications.

Wang Laohu was really blessed, he wanted to come to whatever he wanted, wondering if he could kill another lieutenant general or major general of the Japanese army, and the commander of the 1st Tank Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Hoshino Toshimoto, led several wing commanders under his command and the 212 wings of the 32nd Division, Keitoshi Shiro Osa, and Tanaka Nobuo Osa, with the division headquarters and the remnants of the devils, in more than 20 tanks, more than a dozen armored vehicles, and more than 60 cars, rolled up a stream of moving dust on the road, and fled with a roar.

Hoshino Toshimoto fled, and the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold of Lijia Village was still guarding something, so he naturally joined the fleeing team.

Wang Laohu saw that there were still a lot of little devils, so he immediately ordered all squads of bazooka groups to put the devil tanks close to fight, and ordered the single-barrel rocket launchers to hit the armored vehicles and cars behind the tanks. Grenadiers, machine guns, and Bayi automatic rifles to deal with. The Japanese puppet army that escaped from the stronghold of Lijia Village followed by the convoy.

Wang Laohu climbed in front of the sorghum weir on the side of the road, stared at the movement of the devil tank through the sorghum leaves, silently calculated the distance in his heart, and gave the order to prepare for battle.

It's closer, it's closer, the little devil's tank has already roared over, and the first few tanks are about to drive in front of Wang Laohu's eyes. Wang Laohu gave the sign language command to attack.

The rockets roared with long bare wings and swooped down on the Japanese tanks.

At such a close distance, the shooters of the bazooka group of the Eighth Route Army, who had experienced a hundred battles, were accurate one by one. I saw fireballs erupt one after another, leaving piles of scrap metal on the highway with an unpleasant smell.

Immediately afterwards, the single-barreled rocket launcher with surface impact fire fired, the same rocket, five rounds in unison, pounced on the armored vehicles and cars behind, and the flames erupted after the explosion shrouded the armored vehicles and cars they encountered in the flames.

The tank on which Hoshino Toshimoto rode was in the middle of the convoy and was not hit in the first wave. This old devil, when he saw that the road ahead was cut off by the Eighth Route Army, knew that it was a matter of life and death, so he ordered all the tanks and armored vehicles to open fire, suppress the Eighth Route Army with firepower, crush the destroyed tanks with tanks, open the way, and rush over.

The devil's tanks and armored vehicles all opened fire, the tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns all fired frantically, and the firepower of the 1st Special Operations Squadron was suppressed immediately.

Wang Laohu was very anxious, because although the Japanese army was on the way to escape, because it was told to drive, the distance between the cars was relatively large, and the rocket launcher had a short firing range, which was only 200 meters, which was not as good as the Japanese tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns, and the grenadiers and machine guns of the special combat team were not threatening to the Japanese tanks, so they could only rely on five single-barrel rocket launchers. But at a distance, there is a problem with the accuracy of the firing of the single rocket launcher, and it can only be fired along the road.

At the critical moment, Zhao Dahe led the armored regiment to catch up, and two tank companies made a detour from the field roads on both sides of Lujia Village, stopped in front of Hoshino Toshimoto's escape convoy, and opened artillery bombardment on Japanese tanks.

With the cover of the tanks of the armored regiment, the rocket launchers and single-barrel rocket launchers of the 1st Special Warfare Squadron regained their superiority in firepower and cooperated with the armored regiment to destroy the tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the breakthrough was completely hopeless, Hoshino Toshimoto actually opened the turret of the tank, got out of the tank, knelt down facing the east, recited a few haiku, and stabbed the command knife into his abdomen ().

This time, there were no captains of the Japanese army to stop him from apologizing, and those guys had already returned to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo before Hoshino Toshimoto.

After Hoshino Toshimoto's escape convoy was wiped out, Gaomi Castle was presented in front of the Eighth Route Army's armored cluster.

At this time, the 7th and 8th Columns of the Eighth Route Army in the north of Jiaoji Road had already pounced on the side of Jiaoji Road, cutting off the east-west traffic on Jiaoji Road, and the two artillery regiments had already begun to shell Gaomi Station. Hu Laohu's cavalry column had also been interspersed in place from the Jiaohe River, and the Eighth Route Army had formed an encirclement of Gaomi.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was coming from all sides and the railroad was cut off again, the heart of Major General Shunzaburo Maikura, the commander of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, completely fell into the ice hole. He knew that the 1st Chariot Division, which was originally based on the Great Wall of Steel, had been shattered as a whole, otherwise, the armored group of the Eighth Route Army would not have killed it along the road from the south.

Major General Shunzaburo Maikura, who was completely dead, sent a farewell telegram to the commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General Tsuchihashi Ichi, reporting the news of the main force of the 1st Chariot Division, the 211th Wing of the 32nd Division, and the 210th Wing of the Jade Shatter, and then reported that Gaomi City was already under siege by the Eighth Route Army on all sides, and the Eighth Route Army broke the city only overnight. Because the four infantry brigades did not have heavy weapons and anti-tank weapons, it was difficult to block the attack of the armored forces of the Eighth Route Army.

In a telegram, Major General Shunzaburo McKura assured Lieutenant General Ichikashi Tsuchihashi that he would fight to the last soldier to repay His Majesty the Emperor's grace. In the end, Major General Shunzaburo McKura even shouted three times in a telegram long live His Majesty the Emperor!

To everyone's surprise, after sending a farewell message and ordering all troops in Gaomi City to defend to the death, Major General Shunzaburo McKura actually took a confidential staff officer and two guards and slipped into a Japanese-owned pharmacy in Gaomi City, changed into clerk clothes, and hid.

There is no suspense for the Eighth Route Army to capture Gaomi City!
