The Japanese army withdrew overnight, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had no choice but to launch a pursuit to prevent these Japanese troops from escaping. www.biquge.info However, in order to avoid being ambushed by the Japanese army, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was very cautious when pursuing, and its speed was naturally affected.

The scouts, who were deployed in advance, became the main force of the delayed Japanese army. If they could delay the Japanese army and wait for the main force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to catch up, they would be able to stop these Japanese leaders.

After the order to delay the Japanese army was issued, the various units of the reconnaissance brigade of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army began to give full play to their advantages and launched an attack on the Japanese army.

At 4 a.m. on September 11, the main Japanese army was retreating frantically, carrying torches and walking along the improvised road through the dense forest.

"Boom!" Suddenly, there was an explosion on the highway. Several Japanese soldiers were blown away.

The rest of the Japanese soldiers hurriedly lay on the ground and looked around vigilantly.

"What's going on?" A Japanese squadron leader asked.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, we stepped on a mine and four people died." A squad leader reported.

"Yaga! How did the people of China sneak into our rear and lay mines? The squadron leader frowned.

"Order the troops, pay attention to the search, and then speed up the march." The squadron leader then ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader." The team leader nodded heavily.

Immediately, after discovering that there were no casualties, the Japanese continued on their way.

They didn't know that less than 100 meters away from here, a platoon of scouts of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had already targeted them. The Japanese troops marching with torches, which looked so conspicuous at night, were undoubtedly the best targets for attack.

"Attention to the classes and the fire team. The order was given and all fire was opened, and after five minutes it was evacuated. The platoon commander ordered.

A platoon of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, a full 54 people, three infantry squads below, equipped with ten M1 semi-automatic rifles, a light machine gun, a sniper rifle and a grenadier. The firearms squad is armed with a heavy machine gun, a mortar, and in the future it is ready to be equipped with a rocket launcher.

"Fire!" The platoon commander commanded loudly.

"Da Da Da!" 1 heavy machine gun and 3 stop light machine guns, the first to fire. Subsequently, semi-automatic rifles, sniper rifles also began to shoot. Mortars and grenadiers were used to detect shells and grenades at the maximum rate of fire against the Japanese troops.

For a time, the Japanese army, which was marching on the road, inflicted a heavy blow. Countless Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground screaming. More Japanese soldiers immediately lay on the ground, burying their heads low, for fear of being hit by bullets flying overhead.

Some Japanese soldiers tried to launch a counterattack. However, shells and grenades fell from the sky and took their lives.

The Japanese squadron, which opened the way, suffered heavy losses for a while.

Five minutes passed quickly.

The attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army came to an abrupt halt at once.

When the Japanese soldiers were sure that there was no danger, they got up from the ground and searched the dense forest, only to find bullet casings all over the ground. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which attacked them, had already retreated.

After counting the losses, it was found that their squadron had actually lost more than 50 people in the battle just now, which was equivalent to the loss of a squad.

"Yaga!" When the squadron leader learned of such a loss, he was even more angry and scolded.

At the same time, the speed of the Japanese army's march was also affected by this. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki also sent someone to ask what happened.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our forward troops, were attacked by a small force of the China, and lost dozens of men." Katakura reports.

"Damn! Damn the China, they're trying to slow down our march so that their troops can catch up. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki scolded.

"Your Excellency Commander, it seems that we left secretly at night, but we still failed to succeed, and we were still discovered by the Zhina!" Major General Takery Isomura was a little worried.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have to speed up, the people of China must be chasing after us." Lieutenant General Kotoku Sato said.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki nodded: "Order all departments, speed up." The chief of the temple already knew our situation, and he had already sent three divisions and two independent mixed brigades to reinforce us. In addition, the troops damaged in this battle will be replenished first. When the time comes, we will have enough strength to fight the people of China. ”

When the generals and officers of the Japanese army heard Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki say this, their previous worries were suddenly swept away. After they lost the battle, they were undoubtedly afraid of being disposed of. Now, Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki's words undoubtedly gave them a reassurance.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." All answered.

With the advisers of the imminent reinforcements, the Japanese army accelerated the march. But at the same time, the resistance of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not stop in the slightest. The reconnaissance unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, in a company and platoon, attacked the Japanese army. In the case of inflicting a lot of casualties on the Japanese army, it delayed their march even more.

At the same time, the retreat of the 54th Division of the Japanese Army and the 105th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was also not smooth. The reconnaissance troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were also attacking them, which greatly limited the retreat speed of the Japanese army.

At 5 a.m., at Morey's airport, the ground crew was already busy. Fighter jets and bombers have begun to refill fuel and ammunition.

The pilots, on the other hand, were listening to combat briefings. The air force was tasked with bombing the retreating Japanese troops, delaying them and creating conditions for the army to catch up with the Japanese. This is undoubtedly an easy task for the air force.

After the 5th Flying Division of the 3rd Air Force of the Japanese Army suffered heavy losses, the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already mastered air supremacy over Burma.

At 6 a.m., batches of P-51B fighters began to take off from the airfield, all loaded with rockets, ready to launch an attack on the Japanese troops marching on the ground. At the same time, aviation machine guns could also strafe these Japanese troops.

B-25 medium bombers and B-24 heavy bombers will also be involved in such missions. For the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the annihilation of the main force of the Japanese Burma Front has become the top priority. All the troops have to work towards this goal.

From the Morey airfield, it is only a few tens of kilometers from the front line. At the speed of these planes, in less than ten minutes, they were able to fly to the heads of the Japanese troops and launch an attack.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "Two P-51B fighters swept over the heads of the Japanese troops, and twenty rockets flipped a group of Japanese bombers on their backs. (To be continued.) )
