The Japanese offensive in this era was quite fast, especially in the pursuit of the defeated army, and the Japanese army was extremely experienced in the early stage of World War II. This is true not only in China, but also in Southeast Asia.

The first to move in the early morning was the motorcycle detachment, and as soon as the engine was started, soldiers kept running out of the kitchen at the team headquarters. They carried three lunch boxes, which were a day's food for three people on each motorcycle.

Running a few steps to the side bucket of the three-wheeled motorcycle that was already throttle, as soon as he sat on the motorcycle engine, he "suddenly" hit the road.

Four motorcycles with twelve soldiers, just one motorcycle detachment.

Their purpose was to "wake up" the "wriggling" routs and refugees in the first five miles.

In fact, the routs and refugees, desperately trying to escape, had no chance to stop in front of the rapid Japanese force.

Every evening, this fast force would rush into the ranks of the refugees and open fire, which would keep the refugees on the road all night. By the way, tell the news of "the Japanese army is approaching" to the defeated soldiers and refugees in front of them, and let them escape overnight.

In the early morning, with the first touch of fish belly white motorcycle, he made a "tutu tu" sound and walked along the road.

Occasionally, the bike would be a little bumpy, and it was the body of a Chinese refugee who had been killed before resting last night.

Whenever this happens, the Japanese in the car will shout,

"Hey, idiot...... Don't grind the corpse, the chicken soup in the lunch box will be poured out. ”

"It's stupid, doesn't anyone understand that these corpses can't be left on the highway, the people of China are really stupid and lazy."

"yes, if they weren't stupid and lazy, how could they be defeated by us......"

Compared with the bloody battles in Shanghai, it is really a pleasure to pursue the defeated enemy. Refugees who flee along roads, in particular, are often a good opportunity to make a small fortune.

To strengthen their ability to "get out of bed" for refugees and routs, each motorcycle is equipped with a light machine gun and a grenadier driver.

Soon the motorcycle detachment drove out of the pile of corpses from the massacre the night before, the motorcycle was no longer bumpy, and everything went smoothly.

Of course, the refugees who support the old and the young do not have the fast pace of the army, especially the people who do not have the carts pulled by the animals, and can only carry all the household belongings by themselves, and there is almost no opportunity to rest.

"Boom ......"

Earlier than the motorcycle team, the six D1A 94 dive bombers would swoop down to scare the refugees. The refugees, who had only sat for a short rest, screamed and hid in the bushes on both sides of the road.

The sound of the motorbike engine sounded, and the sound of the distant sound in the early morning, which was already bright, caused people who could only walk to flee the road.

The man on the motorcycle raised his rifle and shot at the refugees on both sides of the road, though not every Japanese soldier in the car did so.

"Why did they flee along the road, if I had chosen the path, it would not be so easy to be bombed and shot."

"They wanted to be protected by the Chinese army, but the Chinese army ...... They can't even protect themselves......"

When the motorcycle is facing the wind, you have to use a roar to speak.

The motorcycles drove a short distance further, and the road surface became more and more stuffed by the soldiers, including guns, bullet belts, and even cars and artillery.

Of course, the spearhead squad will not care about these things, they are the fast pursuit force of the 101st Division.

This division was composed of 20 reserve divisions and regiments of standing divisions before 1937, but due to the shortage of horses, the cavalry of the 101st Division was only a large brigade.

When the rout of the Chinese army began, the 101st formed a forward led by the captain of the 101st Cavalry Brigade Hisata Oshima, a brigade of bicycle infantry, plus a motorcycle squad.

Combined with baggage troops and camel-towed infantry artillery squads, this fast unit has an incomparable ability to move quickly in infantry.

As the more items were discarded by the routs on the road, the motorcycle squad became more careful.

Finally they seemed to see the tail of the brigade formed by the rout and refugees, slowly wriggling along the road.

"Why didn't the planes attack those people, those pilots were so lazy, the machine guns made those people run."

The motorcycles lined up on the road, their crooked handlebars spewing out tongues of fire.

Cavalry, combined with a large number of infantry on bicycles, formed a rapid attack force, and was the best means of chasing down the rout. The important thing is to keep the pressure on them, so that they keep running away, they can't think of clinging, and they don't have time to eat and rest.

The grenadiers also fired several grenades into the crowd, knocking down a group of figures.

Under the fire, the cries of the refugees at the tail of the gray giant snake in the distance shook the sky.

Some ran forward, while many more fled the road, only to be driven back onto the road by machine guns and grenadiers.

The motorcycle detachment reformed into a column, and the motorcycle squad advanced more and more cautiously as it caught up with the tail of the rout and refugees.

The riflemen and machine gunners in the car fired bullets from time to time, driving the refugees down the main road. The shot is directed at refugees or routs trying to flee the road.

As long as these people are kept on the road, even if there are small Chinese troops who want to rely on the towns to guard them, then they will be disorganized by the onslaught of refugees.

Especially when there are enough people, it will definitely arouse the interest of the pilots in the sky, and a bomb will make the fleeing civilians and the fleeing routs even more panicked, and they will not have the slightest determination to resist.

A general said that a retreat is more difficult to command than an offensive.

This was even more true at this moment, when the defeated soldiers and refugees were in constant panic, and under the rapid column of the Japanese, the escape road could not be stopped.

"Kite, who still has the heart to fly a kite at this time......"

It seems far away to the end of the infinite highway, and many kites are flying in the morning breeze. Not only that, but the Japanese fighters swooped downward, and the sound of heavy explosions was heard in the distance.

Then strange things happened, black smoke from an explosion appeared in the sky, and the shadow of the black smoke dragged by the Japanese plane that was hit.

"Ours, there are our people on the other side of the river......"

"There is a pontoon bridge in front ......"

"The devils are not far away, have they planted explosives on the pontoon......

This is something that people with a modicum of military common sense are thinking.

It's a T-junction, and right across the avenue is a pontoon bridge paved with boats and planks.

The leading rout did not hesitate to step onto the pontoon bridge.

Regardless of whether the pontoon bridge was installed with explosives or not, it was at least temporarily possible to hide from the pursuit of the Japanese.

In any case, seeing the position on the other side of the river, all the soldiers who were being chased by the Japanese finally felt hope.

But when they arrived at the head of the pontoon bridge, they heard stiff German-style Chinese.

"We are the troops of the advisory group, and no matter which of your troops you are under our command now, disobedient officers will be shot. Everybody goes behind that wall and gets reorganized, and then we're going to teach the devil a good lesson here. ”

Looking at the strangely dressed Germans, the defeated soldiers had nothing to say.

Who made the Germans tall and big?
