Ushijima's escape route was also carefully chosen, he took not only a small road, but also avoided the populated villages and towns along the way, and tried to go around the villages as much as he could. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Try not to alarm the people in the village.

At about two o'clock in the second half of the night, there was a sudden lightning and thunder in the sky, and then the raindrops of soybeans fell and smashed on people's faces.

This season is originally the rainy season, and it is very common for rain and thunder to happen, which is undoubtedly a very unfortunate thing for people who are desperately trying to flee for their lives.

The night was dark, it rained, the road was slippery, and Ushijima was full of them, and they didn't dare to light torches.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain is like a note, and some Japanese soldiers have thrown away their personal belongings in order to reduce the burden, including raincoats, no raincoats, the rain hits the clothes, and soon gets soaked, and then sticks to the body, and when the wind blows, it is called a heart-to-heart cold.

I didn't wear much, but this time it was good, and many Japanese soldiers ran and ran until the Cold War.

There is a limit to the resistance of the human body, even if it is a well-trained soldier, the physical fitness is better than the average person, but it is not superhuman.

After more than 10 days of continuous fighting, the consumption of high-intensity physical and mental strength, and now on the way to escape, morale has reached an extremely low level.

Ushijima knew that once there was a fall, the problem would be very serious, and once the stragglers were caught by the pursuing Chinese army, even if they didn't say anything, they would be able to judge the direction of their march.

Therefore, he must run at least eighty miles away in one go, and then use this sudden heavy rain to cover up their traces, and perhaps escape this fate.

So this rain has both advantages and disadvantages for Ushijima Mitsuru, and even the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Ushijima no longer rode his horse, and gathered all his horses, captured weapons and ammunition, as well as the wounded and sick, while he himself marched on foot with the team.

Ushijima's role model, coupled with the Japanese army's own desire to survive. Hopefully, the speed of the march of this fleeing Japanese army has actually accelerated a lot invisibly.

"Run, don't stop, ......"

Dozens of miles away, Kenji Dohihara led more than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals to gallop in the night, most of them had means of transportation, which was equivalent to a mechanized army.

"Division commander, it's raining!"

"It's raining, it's coming at a good time, and the rain will wash away the traces we have walked along the way, so that our opponents can't grasp our direction." Kenji Dohihara lifted the hat above his head and let the rain hit his face.

"Weathermen!"

"Here!"

"Based on your expertise, how heavy is this rain and when will it rain?"

"General, in the northern Anhui region, the mountains and jungles are dense, although this season is the rainy season, but the climate is changeable, this rain looks like it will at least fall until dawn, and it may be longer!" The weatherman said.

"Roar, it's enough to go down until dawn!" Kenji Dohihara nodded.

"Sano-kun, how far are we from Takujo?"

"It's about sixty miles, and at our current marching speed, it will take at least three hours!" Tadayoshi Sano calculated.

"Speed up, you must rush to Tuocheng in two hours!"

"Hay!"

"Do we have enough fuel?"

"It's enough, but after arriving in Tuocheng, if there is no fuel supply, our car may not be able to be used." Tadayoshi Sano.

"Huang Jie's 8th Army once withdrew to Tuocheng, there must be their munitions depot there, as long as we can rob their munitions depot, there will be enough food and oil to let us leave."

"The Chinese must not have imagined that we would dare to attack their county seat on the way to escape!" Tadayoshi Sano gave a thumbs up and exclaimed.

"It's raining so well!" Kenji Tsuchihara laughed, there was a taste of heaven immortalizing me.

"General, there's a temple ahead, can we take a break before leaving?"

"Take a break?" Kenji Dohihara touched his chest, there was indeed a trace of needle pain just now, his health was indeed very bad, and now it is all supported by a will.

"Division commander, your face doesn't seem to be very good, let's rest a little, we have already thrown the pursuers far away." Tadayoshi Sano also persuaded.

"Okay, rest for ten minutes, send out cavalry, follow the path we have walked, cover up the traces!" Kenji Dohihara thought for a moment and agreed.

It's raining!

Xue Boling stood in front of the window with a gloomy face, in fact, there was a sign for a long time, this day was drowsy, and it was a matter of time before it rained, but it rained at this time, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulties to the pursuing troops.

Is this God not helping?

"Chief Xue." Wu Xiqi handed Xue Boling a cigarette from behind him, and Xue Boling naturally reached out and took it.

After taking two sips, Xue Boling said, "It's not the right time for this rain to fall." ”

"Yes, as soon as it rains, the traces of the Japanese army's escape are washed away by the rain, and it will be much more difficult for us to catch up, and it is dangerous to chase the enemy in this heavy rain, especially in the dark." Wu Xiqi sighed.

"Is there any news about that Yao Qichen?"

"Not yet, I've been calling, but I haven't replied, such a heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, their radio station doesn't dare to turn on at will, and I don't know where it is now."

"Keep calling!"

"Yes!"

"With such heavy rain, I'm afraid that the tired division of the Japanese army won't be able to run far, did you order the pursuing troops to stop and wait for the rain to stop before pursuing?"

"I haven't found a specific target yet, just a general direction, blind pursuit, consuming manpower and material resources, not to mention, the physical strength of the soldiers is also a problem......

"The pursuit of the large army can be stopped, but an elite search team must be sent to conduct a carpet search of the routes that the Japanese may take, and these two Japanese troops who ran out from Guide must not be spared!" Xue Boling said heavily, if he easily let Kenji Dohihara run away, he would not be reconciled.

"Yes."

This rain caused great suffering to the pursuit, especially the new 38th Division, which maneuvered from Duji in Yucheng overnight to Tuocheng, causing considerable suffering.

Soon after the vanguard set out, it began to rain, although the troops were also prepared, but they did not expect the rain to fall so heavily, and the roads were muddy and slippery.

According to the distance, they had to walk at least 80 miles longer than the Japanese troops who broke through one step earlier, and even a rapid march would take two and a half hours in normal times.

If it is not raining, and if it is smooth, it will take at least six or seven hours to rush from Duji to Tuocheng.

When Luo Yufeng received Leng Feng's order, it was almost after midnight, and it took half an hour from mobilization and assembly to departure.

That is to say, if everything goes well, the new 38 will have to rush from Duji to Tuocheng after seven o'clock in the morning.

According to this time, the Japanese army may have already arrived in Tuocheng.

Does such a maneuver still make sense?

Of course, since it is already known that the Japanese army may be heading towards Tuocheng, then the defenders of Tuocheng will inevitably be vigilant, as long as they can hold out for three to five hours, they can wait for the arrival of the new 38th Division, so that they can counter-encircle the Japanese army and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Of course, with such heavy rain, the Japanese army may also change its plans, so this is also an indefinite operation, and it is possible that it will end up in the air.

Whether to continue or not made Luo Yufeng, the decision-maker, feel a little embarrassed.

Luo Yufeng couldn't decide, so he could only ask Leng Feng for help.

At this time, only Leng Feng can help him make the decision, he is absolutely convinced of Leng Feng's decision, even if it is wrong, he will unswervingly implement it.

Leng Feng received Luo Yufeng's telegram requesting instructions, and smoked three cigarettes in one go, and he felt uncomfortable in his throat before he stopped.

It's a hard decision to make.

In the end, Leng Feng decided that there was no need for the new 38th Division to be dispatched as a whole, and it was enough to draw out a reinforced regiment.

By removing a reinforced regiment, the cars of the whole division can be concentrated and used, so that the speed of the march will inevitably be accelerated, and an engineer battalion will be equipped to build bridges and pave roads at any time to ensure the safe and rapid passage of troops.

This idea coincided with Luo Yufeng and Qin Yankun's hearts, and they quickly reached an agreement to withdraw the elite from each unit and form a mixed army, led by the deputy division commander Niu Xianmin, to maneuver along the highway in the direction of expanding the city in the rain.

Yao Heizi led the commando team to persistently chase the Japanese army in front, and a heavy rain poured down, washing away the traces of the Japanese army's walking.

Horse manure tracking didn't work, because the horse manure was washed away by the rain, and the ground was full of muddy water, and it was impossible to tell whether it was yellow mud or horse manure.

This time it's in trouble.

Yao Heizi's two thick black eyebrows are about to turn into the shape of "Sichuan".

"Lao Dong, Lao Tian, what should we do now, we have lost our goal?" Yao Heizi wiped the rain from his face and beckoned Dong Yang and the other members of the Yaksha team behind him.

"With such a heavy rain, the speed of the little devil must not be fast, and I don't think the direction we are chasing is wrong, the little devil should not be far away from us." Dong Yang Road.

"I also think what Lao Dong said is right, they all chased after this, so I stopped like this, unwilling."

"I already smell the devil, do you smell it?" The poppy came up and said.

"Beauty, do you smell a stinky man?"

"Cut, how can the little devil compare to our Chinese men, that smell is really unpleasant......," Yu Meiren said with a disgusted expression.

"Don't make a fuss, what now, to chase or not to chase?"

"Chasing, you have to chase, this June day is like a child's face, it will change when it is said, maybe it won't be long before it stops."

"Yes, it's a thunderstorm, and thunderstorms are usually very fast, they don't last long."

"Old demon instructor, it's too dark this day, and it's raining heavily, we can't see the road ahead at all, how can we chase?" Tu Man muttered.

"I have a way, with the help of the light of thunder and lightning, to observe from a high place, maybe I can find the traces of the little devil?" One person said on a whim.

There was no sound for three seconds.

"Why don't you try this way?" Yao Heizi raised his head and glanced at everyone.

Everyone nodded, after all, they really couldn't think of a better way, according to their calculations, the Japanese army was not far from them, but in what direction, the location was unknown.
