Yoshioka Kunihiko was shocked. He looked at the Chief of Staff and asked,""Chief of Staff, what do you think?"
He didn't expect this!
The other party's reaction was so fast!
Such a decisive retreat!
"General, the independent team retreated so quickly, which shows how cunning their commander is!”
"I can't let such an opponent return to the mountain!”
the chief of staff said quickly.
"Are you saying that Chu Feng has discovered our detours?”asked Yoshioka Kunihiko.
The chief of staff shook his head with a serious expression."Not necessarily, but this person must have sensed our tactical intentions, so he decided to take the opportunity to retreat!”
"Moreover, this person has grasped the timing of his retreat very well. He is at the moment when he is changing his troops and the cavalry is encircling him.”
"This shows that this person is indeed very cunning and has a calm tactical mind.”
"Alright then." Yoshioka Kunihiko was very appreciative of the analysis of the Chief of Staff, so he nodded happily and said in a deep voice,""From the looks of it, this can explain the failure of the 66th regiment and why this person was able to successfully attack my 10th division headquarters.”
"This person is very dangerous. Although he didn't graduate from Huang Pu or a local military academy, his courage and resourcefulness can be said to be excellent. In the Eastern Army, his performance in the past few days has far surpassed those guys who have no reputation.”
"Therefore, we must eliminate them completely!”
"Especially Chu Feng. We absolutely can't let him continue to grow. We should take advantage of the fact that he's still very weak to nip the danger in the bud.”
At this point, Yoshioka Kunihiko immediately raised his head and ordered in a deep voice,"Pass down my order, the 102nd Infantry Regiment will immediately pursue! The tank team and the 102nd Infantry Regiment will fight together!
"Continue the roundabout pursuit!"
"We must not let the tiger return to the mountain. We must catch up to the Chinese army no matter what!”
"Hah!"
The Japanese cavalryman suddenly bowed his head. After saluting Yoshioka Kunihiko and the Chief of Staff again, he immediately turned his horse around and left.
Yoshioka Kunihiko turned to the Chief of Staff and said,""Chief of Staff, we don't have to stay here. Please pass on my order.”
"In addition, the Artillery Regiment and Infantry Regiment will follow up and be ready to reinforce the 102nd Regiment at any time.”
"Ha Yi." The Chief of Staff also lowered his head.
Because Chu Feng and the others had retreated very quickly and it was night time, there was a very good cover here.
In addition, they did not have many people, so their target was not big.
Therefore, he had no choice.
By dawn, the Japanese had not caught up with them.
The sky brightened.
Chu Feng led the platoon of guards to the foot of a mountain in the Tian Mu Mountain Range. They had successfully met up with Li Tian, Zhang Dashan, Dong Shan, and the others who were waiting to receive them.
At this moment, the Japanese cavalry regiment that was in charge of the detour finally realized that they were catching up. However, they were met with the dense firepower and heavy artillery fire of the independent brigade.
There were three infantry squadrons with over a thousand men, and an artillery squadron that was prepared in advance!
Fire at the same time!
They bombarded at the same time!
The bullets were concentrated and the artillery fire was fierce!
The Japanese cavalrymen who had been chasing after them were all blown up into a mess. They left hundreds of corpses behind and fled in panic.
General, the Chinese people have fled into the mountains. The cavalry regiment caught up with them at the last moment, but they were ambushed by the fierce artillery fire of their reinforcements. They lost more than a hundred brave cavalrymen of the Empire, so they had to retreat!”A Japanese contact soldier rode back on horseback. Accompanied by Yoshioka Kunihiko and the others, he saluted and reported to him.
Hearing that the Independent Brigade had fled into the mountains, Yoshioka Kunihiko could not help but be furious."Baka, what are you guys cooking? He actually let the Chinese army escape to the mountains?”
This was the worst possible outcome!
Once they escaped into this vast mountain, it would be even more difficult to catch up to them!
The soldier was shocked and quickly lowered his head to explain,""General, the imperial army is not familiar with the terrain, and the cavalry regiment discovered that the Chinese army that blocked us before was only a part of it.”
"It's very difficult to find them at night, so we let them escape into the mountains.”
Yoshioka Kunihiko wanted to fly into a rage, but he was stopped by the Chief of Staff."General, the focus of our work now is to shift the deployment and think of a way to annihilate the independent brigade.”
Yoshioka Kunihiko snorted coldly this time and turned to ask him,"Chief of Staff, what do you think?"
The chief of staff sighed." The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It's not conducive to the actions of our cavalry and artillery. It's also not conducive to the deployment of our troops.”
"But they have a tank. I don't think they will go too far unless they lose this very powerful tank.”
" So, we just need to continue pursuing them. As long as they don't sneak into the mountains and forests, we still have a chance to destroy them with our superior forces. More importantly, it's already dawn. We can get strong support from sea-land reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets. It's relatively easy to find their tracks.”
"But if they choose to destroy the tanks and flee to the deep mountains and forests in the Tian Mu Mountain Range in a panic, what should we do?”Yoshioka Kunihiko asked.
The chief of staff was very calm and said in a deep voice,"If that's the case, we'll just seal off the mountain forest and trap them in this primitive forest.”
Yoshioka Kunihiko was a little puzzled,"The mountain forest is sealed?”
The chief of staff nodded again." As far as I know, this deep mountain is filled with primeval forests. If Chu Feng's independent brigade really escaped here, they would be asking for trouble!" As long as the machine guns were set up at the dangerous pass at the foot of the mountain, they could be trapped alive.”
After listening to the Chief of Staff's analysis, Yoshioka Kunihiko became more confident and felt much better.
Immediately, he ordered in a deep voice," Pass on my order. The 102nd regiment, the tanks and chariots, the cavalry regiment, the artillery regiment, and the 115th infantry regiment, all of them, catch up immediately. Hold on tightly to the Chinese army. Don't allow them to escape!"”
"Ha Yi!" The Chief of Staff and the Japanese soldiers lowered their heads.
Therefore, after receiving the support of the 102nd Infantry Regiment and the tanks, the Japanese cavalrymen turned around and resumed their pursuit of the independent brigade.
At this time, the independent brigade had already left the rendezvous point.
They were retreating northwest along the foothills.
Chu Feng's goal was to rescue these miners and escort them to Deqing, which was still under the control of the Eastern Army's Third Battle Area.
Once they reached Deqing, they would be safe and free to leave or stay.
However, the 114th Division's Japanese soldiers were at a loss. Not long after, several Japanese reconnaissance planes and fighter jets flew over to coordinate with the fighter planes.
The Japanese soon found them again and used cavalry and tanks to quickly chase after them.
Therefore, if the Independent Brigade wanted to retreat into Deqing, they would have to survive for at least one day!
Because only at night would they have a chance to get rid of the devils and retreat at full speed.
