Major General Yoshino was leading two battalions and speeding up the march.
He had already received news from the naval air force.
The fleeing Chinese army was not far from them.
It was mainly because of the harassment of the Japanese reconnaissance planes that the 62nd Division of the Northeast Army could not speed up the evacuation.
It was as if you had something urgent to finish.
But you were harassed by a bunch of flies buzzing around you.
You can't concentrate on doing things.
Moreover, if you don't hurry up, you will suffer a great loss.
Even his life would be lost here.
"Motherf * cker, this damn Japanese is endless!”
Ma Zhankui cursed as he looked up at the sky.
He couldn't even remember how many times the Japanese reconnaissance planes had harassed him.
The Japanese seemed to want to kill them.
No matter how fast they were marching, they just followed them closely.
The Chief of Staff of the 62nd Division was also frustrated.
"Master, if this continues, we will be caught up by the Japanese sooner or later. At that time, we will really be in danger!”
The soldiers of the 62nd Division of the Northeast Army also fought hard for an entire night.
They did not get a good rest either.
In order to preserve their strength, they could only bear the fatigue and retreat as quickly as possible.
Originally, they were thinking-
With Chang Weihua's Central Garrison Guards covering the rear, there would definitely be no problem. They would be able to retreat smoothly.
However, looking at the current situation, it didn't seem too good!
Up until now, the Central Garrison Guards had yet to show up.
As a result, a very negative rumor spread among the 62nd Division of the Northeast Army that they were deliberately thrown out by the Central Army as bait.
After the Northeast Army had attracted the attention of the Japanese, they were all stunned.
The Central Army would take this opportunity to retreat.
There was nothing they could do about it. The Japanese planes would circle around them every once in a while and even continue to dive down.
This constant harassment deepened the fear of the people.
……
This battle plan was proposed by Major General Yoshino.
He clearly proposed that the naval air force should constantly interfere with the movements of the National Army. While slowing down the National Army's movements, it would also disrupt their morale.
"Hehe, I don't believe that the Chinese army, who had been fighting fiercely for a whole night, would still have the mood to prepare for the upcoming battle after such a long journey and the constant interference of the Imperium's naval air forces!”
Major General Yoshino snorted coldly.
This Japanese Major General had a good grasp of the human heart.
In his opinion, the Chinese army in front of him was already a turtle in a jar.
As long as he led the empire's army to charge into the enemy line, it wouldn't take long for him to wipe out this Chinese army that had humiliated them.
This way, they could avenge themselves.
Major General Yoshino stopped and looked around.
They had arrived at the side of a river that was not very wide. They were organizing their troops to cross the river, which was why their marching speed had decreased.
There was a dense bamboo forest in the southwest direction of the river.
It was already the season between autumn and winter. Even though the bamboo was evergreen all year round, many of its leaves had turned yellow at this time of the year.
When he saw the dense bamboo forest, Major General Yoshino suddenly had a strange thought.
The dense bamboo forest seemed to be able to hide many people.
Major General Yoshino, who had this thought, suddenly laughed.
There were only 10,000 soldiers in the Jinshan Guards, and after last night's bitter battle, thousands of corpses were left behind.
According to the information from the naval air reconnaissance, there were only about 2,000 Chinese soldiers fleeing frantically.
In other words, the Chinese people had no intention of setting up an ambush.
Moreover, the Special Higher Police had already obtained secret information from the higher-ups of the Republic of China government.
At the end of the battle in the early hours of the morning, Chang Weihua personally sent a telegram to the leader of the Republic of China, saying that his troops had suffered heavy losses and requested to evacuate.
All these pieces of information proved that Chang Weihua was on the run.
Therefore, there were no other Chinese troops in the Golden Mountain Guard area, and there was no military force that could threaten the Empire's army!
Major General Yoshino wasn't the only one who had such thoughts.
All the high-ranking officers of the Japanese's landing force also thought that Chang Weihua was running for his life.
Therefore, these people were all looking at Major General Yoshino.
I want to see Major General Yoshino destroy this Chinese man Chang Weihua with my own eyes!
No matter the price, he must die!
He could not let such a military genius stay. As long as he was a sane person, he would not do something like letting a tiger return to the mountain.
It was precisely because of this mentality, coupled with the fact that Major General Yoshino was busy with his journey, that he wanted to catch up to the " fleeing Chang Weihua " as soon as possible.
Therefore, he completely ignored the bamboo forest.
Little did he know that Chang Weihua was already waiting for the Japanese in the bamboo forest.
Chang Weihua's five battalions had already hidden at the predetermined location and cast a large net, waiting for the Japanese to jump into the net themselves!
