Chapter 60: The Battle of the Bright Light V

The Japanese army wanted to break through, but it was already very difficult to break through in formation, and some units were even divided and surrounded and could not be contacted.

The Kawashita troops of the second column were the first to withdraw from the battlefield, and Kawashita Seiichi ordered all baggage to be discarded and the surplus weapons, ammunition and mountain artillery burned. After Xie Jinyuan found that the Japanese army showed signs of vacillation, he asked the 643rd Regiment to disperse the pursuit in a company. Kawashita personally led a squadron to break off, but in the face of the squadron that was constantly outflanking and trying to move from the flank, he had to cut off the flesh and abandon the children one after another, and constantly filled in a detachment or even a small group of Japanese troops.

The most front Guqi troops also lost contact with the wing headquarters, and found that "each unit broke through alone" signal, he ordered the troops to attack in the northeast direction, and after attracting enough attention from the squadron, most of them quietly escaped from the northwest direction, which is the heavy direction of the squadron, but there was a gap in the junction of the 641st regiment and the 642nd regiment, and the Guqi troops slipped out under the nose of the squadron with the help of smoke and bombs. After getting out of contact with the squadron, there will be another big turn and turn back to the southeast. Thanks to the skillful command of Tani Kojiro, his troops also became the part of the Japanese army with the least losses in this battle. Tani Kojiro gave all the lieutenant ** officers an almost perfect lesson: how to successfully get out of the battlefield under absolutely unfavorable circumstances!

However, the detachment leader Ryokaku was not so lucky, and he experienced a period of "pain that is difficult to express in words" recorded in the history of the Japanese war. Through the captivity, Xu Ming had already learned that there was a big fish in front of him, and he ordered all the nearby troops to entangle the wing headquarters at the two corners.

"Your Excellency, let's fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army," an adjutant pleaded.

"Your Excellency, I also request a decisive battle with the Shina Army...", a group of officers next to him said one after another.

Liangjiao and his troops can barely run, since last year's war, when have they been humiliated like this, the squadron has bitten them to the death, and shouted in broken Japanese one by one: "Japanese soldiers, you have been deceived by the warlord!" Surrender! Our squadron treats the captives preferentially! …”

A small detachment was just sent to act as a blocker, but the ** squadron only sent a part to besiege it, and the main force still did not force it over.

"Guys, there's no way to fight anymore, keep going." The two corners are not fools, their troops have not eaten a single rice ball since last night, and there is no supply of guns and ammunition, one by one they are wounded and hung with colors, and the ** squadron on the opposite side does not know tens of thousands, how to fight with the opponent in this situation.

"Oops", Xu Ming fell to the ground with a butt, the road here is too slippery, there was a light rain a few days ago, plus the moss on the road, if you are not careful, you will fall.

"Master, you can rest, or I'll take someone to chase after you, you can rest." Staff Officer Cheng of the division saw that Xu Ming was tired and did not look good, so he kindly suggested.

"No, now is the time when the devils are the weakest, and they must not be let go!" Xu Ming was helped up. He looked at the soldiers around him, and they were all so tired that he was panting, and it was really uncomfortable to chase all the way just now.

Xu Ming knows that the mentality of a wolf who catches a rabbit is different from that of a rabbit chased by a wolf, the rabbit must run to the death, otherwise there will be no way to live, but the wolf may not chase the rabbit to death. Now that his mind is that he has won a big victory, why bother chasing after him like that.

Xu Ming personally mobilized the troops: "Brothers, I know you are very tired, but the little devils are even more tired!" They marched more than 100 miles in a hurry, did not advance the water and rice, and were defeated by us, and now we can easily destroy them if we catch up. Otherwise, when they get supplies, we will pay double or even several times the price! ”

A soldier also knew the current affairs and reported: "A Japanese corpse was found in the front, probably from exhaustion." ”

The troops were finally mobilized again, and Xu Ming ordered, "If you have physical strength, follow me to pursue, and if you can't run, you can rest for the time being." ”

The division commander took the lead in the front, and how the people below did not work hard, the troops once again accelerated the pace of pursuit.

The two corners are now worse than Xu Ming said, not only is he tired, but many of the wounded are no longer able to walk.

This is the biggest difficulty of the vanquished, the wounded cannot be transferred smoothly.

One of the wounded soldiers shouted and fired a shot into his own head.

Before he died, he shouted not the demagogic "Long live the emperor", but "mother".

Dozens of seriously wounded people, who really couldn't hold on, gathered around and collectively pulled grenades.

The two corners looked at everything in front of them blankly, and the subordinates next to them also lowered their heads, unable to face this tragic scene.

A Japanese soldier hurriedly ran over, "Your Excellency Dazuo, the people are chasing after you again!" ”

Xu Ming led the troops to chase wildly, he is actually a little weak now, but the corpse of the Japanese soldier who committed suicide just now gave the squadron great courage, and it is estimated that the Japanese army is really unable to resist.

It was a pity that they did not participate in the 1936 Olympics, and the Japanese destroyed all the heavy machine guns and mortars, threw down their backpacks, and then ran towards the east one by one.

There is a small river in front of you, which is only five or six meters wide, and you can usually build a bridge and bypass it, but now there is no way, the footsteps of the pursuers can be heard, swim over.

And dozens of others who don't know how to water? Stay and block the attack, and cut dozens of pieces of meat and throw them to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming was still screaming in the back: "We see them!" We catch up with them! We destroy them! ”

Speaking of the two corners, it is also tragic, there are two main points in escaping, the first is not to let the enemy know the direction of his escape, and the second is not to let the opponent be too unscrupulous, he can't do it now.

This can't be completely blamed on the two corners, their escape direction is restricted to death, they can't go to the north, that's the defense area of the Chinese, they can't run in the south, they can only run to the east, and it just rained a few days ago, and the footprints left by hundreds of people are difficult to cover.

The second point is even more impossible, Xu Ming has already eaten them with iron heart, whether it is a small group of Japanese troops blocking them, or all the devils are desperate, Xu Ming is determined to leave them behind, his troops are not afraid of fighting for a long time, the Japanese army will definitely not be able to.

There is a village not far away, it is already noon, every household is lit with cooking smoke, how these devils hope to have a good "collection" here, there seem to be a lot of flower girls shouting, and they can smell the fragrance of food, but after looking at the back, the devils who ran away swallowed saliva one by one and continued to run wildly.

But there is no heavenly reason! Seeing that these devils were so embarrassed, some of them took the initiative to come out and make trouble, some picked up bows and arrows that were thousands of years old, and some dragged hunting rifles of unknown eras, running to harass them. The two horns were furious, and were about to kill a good one, when suddenly one of the soldiers who was dragging behind threw his head and screamed, and the pursuers behind him came and were shooting.

Xu Ming was overjoyed, the villagers took the initiative to send food, Xu Ming asked some of the staff to chase after the devil first, and the rest of the people quickly took the gifts sent by the villagers. After eating the hastily, Xu Ming took two local villagers as guides and continued to chase fiercely.

Now the two horns of karma only hope that the sky is almost dark, but look at the sky, the sun is hanging in the middle, thinking that it will be at least a few hours before there is a chance to escape, the two horns really want to use a knife to cut open their stomachs.

"Where are you now?" He asked, gasping for breath.

"Big... There are no markings on the map. An attachΓ© replied by opening a military map.

The map used by the devil now was stolen from Sun Chuanfang by Okamura Ningji back then, which was already very inaccurate, not to mention that so many years have passed. The map is clearly flat, but in front of it is a swamp; There was originally a road on the map, but when you ran over, a river stood in front of you, but fortunately, there is no one who can't know how to water now.

The hats at the two corners ran away and I didn't have time to pick them up, the sabers were too cumbersome and I didn't know where to throw them, and the rest of the devils were also staggered one by one, disheveled. The two-cornered karma was originally going to hold out until nightfall, but now it seems that it will not work, and there are already soldiers who are tired to death!

If it was Cao Cao, he must have laughed here: "I laugh at that Xu Ming is not resourceful and incompetent after all, why not ambush a few people here." ”

But the two corners of the industry don't have this leisure, except for sighing, he has no way.

"Your Excellency, I have an idea, and I may need to take a risk." Said a squadron leader.

Not far away there was a small lake with a ring of reeds next to it, and the squadron leader suggested jumping into the water and hiding in the reeds.

This plan is very risky, as long as the squadron finds traces, it will be quickly over.

This plan needs to be supplemented, and the two corners looked at the officers under him with pleading eyes, and the squadron leader who made the suggestion stepped forward, "Your Excellency, I ask to lead a squad to continue to attract the Shina army. ”

The two corners nodded gratefully.

Xu Ming also passed by the small lake and saw a circle of reeds by the lake, but there was no trace of it being cleaned up, he didn't know that there was a big fish hiding in it.

At this moment, gunshots were heard not far away, and Xu Ming judged that it was another bunch of abandoned sons sent by the Japanese army to try to stop them, and the troops rushed forward again.

Along the way, the gunfire continued, and the group of people ran to the north, Xu Ming also felt that something was wrong, and learned from the guide that there was a mountain in front of him, and it was a dead end.

There is really no road ahead, and there is a cliff at the forefront.

Xu Ming saw a scene that shocked him, dozens of devils were on the edge of the cliff, jumping down one after another. Everyone shouted before they died, but not "Long live the emperor", but "Mom".

Xu Ming and his officers and soldiers took off their hats to salute them, this group of devils is indeed very cruel and vicious, but as enemies, they are indeed very tough.

It doesn't matter, let our opponents regret, lament, sorrow, pain, we just need no regrets, flying, carnival, and happiness.
