After Fujita entered Shencheng, he immediately gathered the forces of three divisions to launch a general attack on Hulu Island.
Other than these three divisions, the three independent combat regiments under the Shencheng Defense Department, totaling over 20,000 people, were also sent out.
The Japanese army was mighty, forming a pincer-shaped attack on the left and right sides towards Hulu Island.
Fujita's battle strategy was simple: Quickly find the main force of the Northeast Army, then fight them, using their superior forces to surround them and annihilate them.
In addition to the infantry, Fujita also contacted the Shencheng Air Force to provide support for this operation.
Fujita Shin was full of confidence. He just wanted to find Zhang Sen's troops as soon as possible and then surround them and beat them up.
As long as he could win this battle, not only would he receive the highest medal, but he would also be able to enter the core power zone of the Kwantung Army.
Two days later, the vanguard of the 39th division arrived at Hulu Island.
However, the 39th Division quickly sent back news that there was no Northeast Army on Hulu Island. There was only an empty city waiting for them.
"Nani?" "Are you sure the Chinese army isn't on Hulu Island?" Fujita Shin asked with a puzzled expression.”
" Yes." The officer nodded." The 39th Division has spread out their forces to search the various counties. We have confirmed that they are no longer on Hulu Island!"”
"Could it be that they went to the Chaoyang area?" Fujita Shin frowned.”
The officer shook his head." The 63rd Division has already searched the Chaoyang area, but they didn't find any Chinese troops."”
"Could it be that they've given up on the cities they've occupied?" This didn't make sense. It wasn't easy to take down a place, but he gave up just like that?”
His chief of staff, Major General Takeda, said,""Maybe they've already retreated back to Hot Province. They knew that the imperial army was coming and knew that they couldn't defeat us, so they retreated.”
Fujita nodded. He had been in the northeast for many years, so he was quite familiar with the habits of the Chinese army.
The policy of the Northeast Army and the entire Chinese army towards the Japanese army was to endure and retreat.
Therefore, when he learned that the northeast army had retreated, Fujita Jin was only slightly puzzled, but he did not doubt it at all.
"Humph, do they think that after killing so many people from the imperial army, they will be fine just by running away?”"Forget about escaping to the Heat Province, even if I have to flee to the ends of the earth, I will make them pay the price in blood."”
"Immediately send troops to save up. I want to wipe out all the Northeast Army and make them die with the soldiers of the Imperial Army.”
The Japanese army continued to march toward the province.
However, just four hours after they set off, an urgent telegram suddenly came from Jin City. The Japanese transport troops were suddenly attacked, and a transport regiment was completely annihilated.
"What happened?" "Did the volunteers do it?" Fujita asked in surprise.”
The officer who reported shook his head." No, the transport regiment sent a distress signal to Jin City." However, by the time an infantry brigade arrived to provide support, they had already been wiped out. It had only been less than an hour, so it was impossible for the volunteers to have done this.”
"And they stole all the food and burned all the other supplies. The local troops have determined that it is very likely to be Zhang Sen's troops. Please return as soon as possible!”
" Hmph!" Fujita Shin snorted." It's definitely not Zhang Sen's troops. They only have two legs. It's impossible for them to rush to Jin City and hide before we reach the island." If they really go to Jin City, they will meet us on the way.”
"So, this unit is probably a volunteer army armed by Zhang Sen.”
"They have the advantage in firepower. Zhang Sen wants to use a smokescreen to deceive us and make us run for our lives. The entire army continues to advance towards the province!"
Although the main force was still advancing towards the province, Fujita Jin still sent two independent regiments to Jin City to help the local forces eliminate the volunteers.
The next morning, the Guandong Army entered the Hot Province after a night of marching.
Just as Fujita Shinobu was about to give the order, Jin City suddenly sent an emergency request for help. A large number of troops had suddenly attacked the city, and Jin City was about to fall.
"How is this possible?" Cold sweat broke out on Fujita Shin's forehead." The volunteers can't be this strong. Jin City is so strong, and there are two large groups guarding it. What kind of volunteers can defeat them?"”
Just as he was thinking, another message came from Jin City. All the defenders were destroyed, and the city had been breached. The commander was prepared to commit suicide to serve the emperor.
Fujita Jin was dumbfounded. He had not found Zhang Sen's main force and had lost Jin City. He had lost all his face.
"Sir, the Northeast Army has not left Liao Province. They must be the ones attacking Jin City!”"We should go back immediately," one of the officers shouted.”
Fujita Jin nodded." Yes, I'll go back immediately. I'll kill my way back to Jin City. I want to destroy all the Chinese people."”
As soon as the Japanese army arrived in Hot Province, they immediately turned around.
The soldiers who had been marching for the entire night did not have the time to rest. They ran madly towards Liao Province.
However, bad news came one after another.
Another two transport troops of the Guandong Army were attacked and completely annihilated.
Fuxin was attacked by the Northeast Army, and the city guards suffered countless casualties. In the end, the city was breached, and all the Japanese soldiers died to serve the country.
Fujita Shinji was completely panicking because these incidents had happened not too long ago. The Northeast Army could not have attacked several places in such a short period of time by relying on two legs.
"Where is the main force of the Northeast Army? Where is that bastard Zhang Sen?”Fujita Shin's eyes were filled with confusion.
