Xue Yue prepared to fight to the death with Okamura Ningji under Changsha City, and laid a heavy ambush between the Miluo River and Changsha City, and every time the Japanese army took a step forward, it would encounter resistance or ambush by the Chinese army. Among them, the 195th Division was an ambush army that Chief Xue was ambushed in Fulinpu. Coincidentally, Gao Quan's 500 divisions were also arranged in this area, which led to the cooperation between Gao Quan and Qin Yizhi.

The defeat of the Ushijima detachment did not mean that the Japanese army was completely defeated. The murderous and cunning devil, seeing that the momentum was not good, made up the idea of retreating and escaping.

The 500th Division has an excellent reconnaissance unit, and the reconnaissance battalion can hear the wind if the devils are in trouble. According to the information obtained by the scouts, Gao Quan judged that the devil was going to retreat!

Since the devils are going to retreat, there is no reason why the 500 divisions should not get more cheap in the back. Pursue! This was Gao Quan's first thought. However, it was obviously unrealistic to rely only on a unit of the 500 Division to pursue the devils, and Gao Quan also had to notify the other Chinese troops participating in this battle to participate in the pursuit together.

Although in the 500 divisions, Gao Quan said everything he said, and no one dared to disobey what he said, but in the ninth war zone, he was a real little person. There are 25 armies and 63 divisions concentrated on this battlefield, and there are six of the group armies alone, and he is a small lieutenant general and division commander, with empty mouth and white teeth, and he opens his mouth and says that the devil wants to retreat, how many people will believe it, and which commander will take it seriously?

Whether it is Chief Xue or Commander-in-Chief Guan, the possibility of being able to trust Gao Quan's judgment now is almost non-existent. Then, he has to think of another shortcut and release the news to these powerful people through other channels. Those who are relatively close to the 500 Division, except for Guan Linzheng, who has a relationship, have a relationship, and Qin Yizhi of the 195th Division. Although Gao Quan has not seen this Master Qin with his own eyes, Wang Dazhu has dealt with him. After Gao Quan arranged for the pursuit of the troops, he asked Wang Dazhu to inform Qin Yizhi in the name of asking the 195th Division to cooperate in the operation and jointly pursue the devils.

Qin Yizhi really lived up to Gao Quan's expectations, and after receiving the report of the 500th Division, he analyzed and judged the battle situation through his channels, and immediately reported it to Commander Zhang Yaoming and Commander-in-Chief of the Group Army. Guan Linzheng trusted this general, and after receiving the report, he quickly ordered the 15th Group Army to start a comprehensive counterattack! At the same time, it was reported to the theater command.

After receiving the report on the battle situation of the 15th Group Army, Chief Xue did not believe at all that the Japanese army, which had been attacking fiercely yesterday, would easily retreat. It wasn't until the next day that Commander-in-Chief Guan reported again that his 15th Army had successfully recovered Yong'an City and Uesugi City! At this time, Xue Yue was completely convinced, and the devil began to retreat. Commander Xue, who understood the momentum, hurriedly issued a series of pursuit orders to the troops. Following the pursuit, the Commander understands the benefits better than anyone else.

Gao Quan's 500 Division has always been fighting with the devils, that is, it has been entangled with the 6th Division, and now that the devils are retreating, the 500 Division is the first to get the news and the first to pursue behind.

So, what is most important in the pursuit? Speed, of course. In order to pursue a faster pursuit speed and to achieve greater results in the pursuit, Gao Quan ordered the troops to directly rename each interspersed detachment as the pursuit detachment, and ordered the seven pursuit detachments under the command of the 500th Division to keep a reasonable distance and start the pursuit operation against the Japanese army on the spot.

Commander-in-Chief Guan commanded the 15th Group Army, along the route of the Japanese attack, recovering various lost counties, towns and cities along the way, becoming the unit that recovered the most lost territory in this battle. After this battle, because of his outstanding merits, Commander-in-Chief Guan was officially corrected and became the real commander of the 15 th Group Army. At the age of 34, Guan Linzheng became the second general to serve as the commander-in-chief of the group army among the graduates of Whampoa, besides Hu Zongnan.

Compared with the dignified division of the 15th Group Army, the 500th Division was like an octopus, and several pursuit detachments spread out like tentacles, entangled with the devil units of the Sixth Division in a flexible and mobile manner.

If there was only one 500 divisions, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba would not care at all. But on this battlefield, there are too many Chinese troops interested in his Sixth Division! Except for Gao Quan's 500 divisions, that is, the 15th Group Army, it is not easy to deal with.

After receiving the retreat order from the military headquarters, all divisions, brigades, and detachments of the Japanese army had already begun a comprehensive retreat. If Lieutenant General Inaba's Sixth Division had taken a step late, it would have been mired in the siege of countless Chinese troops, so how could Shiro Inaba still have the intention of stopping and fighting?

The attitude of the Japanese army in carrying out the order was so resolute that the commanders of the 500 divisions did not dare to stop chasing after the troops under their command for a moment. These regiment and brigade commanders wondered, do the devils all skip meals?

Gao Quan couldn't care so much, whether the devil ate or drank the northwest wind, he just chased the devil behind. Just tear the flesh off the other party's body hard! The division headquarters ordered: Each pursuit detachment of the 500 divisions is not allowed to make a fire to cook rice, not to light a fire to boil water, and the problem of dry food and drinking water will be solved by itself, and it is resolutely not allowed to delay the speed of the pursuit!

Okay, this order, those troops with dry food on hand are fine, but the troops who have eaten the dry food will be miserable, and for the sake of their own stomachs, they have to play with their lives to chase the devil! If you catch up with the devil, you will have something to eat. Because the devils have dry food and water bottles on them! For a piece of dry food, the soldiers opened their two legs and started a race with the devils on the land of northern Xiangbei.

The first devil unit to be blocked was the 6th Cavalry Wing. The Devil's cavalry company has a total of three brigades, and before that, it has been divided into two brigades of the Ushijima detachment. The loser Niu Daoman threw such an elite two cavalry brigades into the puddles and mountains on the east bank of Dongting Lake. Today's Sixth Cavalry Wing is said to be a wing, but in fact, there is only a brigade of about 400 cavalry left.

Such a cavalry brigade is definitely not good as the main force of the division and regiment, and it is not necessary to be the pioneer of the way. The roads to the north were all walked by the Sixth Division, and those who are familiar with the road do not need to be opened in front of them at all!

For such a mobile unit with little mobility ability, Lieutenant General Inaba arranged a suitable job for them, that is, to use it as a reconnaissance unit on the periphery of the divisional battle sequence to reconnoiter the movements of the Chinese army. The original reconnaissance is the main job of the cavalry wing! They were not allowed to stay until the end of the division, because they were afraid that the only remaining cavalry unit of the Sixth Division would be annihilated by the Chinese army.
