Colonel Tanaka spent a lot of money this time. He judged that Gao Han and others would march with Shimada. They were unable to move in broad daylight and were likely to find a secret place to hide temporarily. In other words, they were not too far from the scene of the crime. He decided to walk on two legs. On the one hand, he sent Hamada Yoshihiro and others to Zhangjiazhuang, and on the other hand, he searched on the spot.

He issued an order to search Shimada to various infantry brigades and military police brigades of the Japanese army in his jurisdiction. For a time, thousands of Japanese and puppet troops took action.

Jinan.

The 63rd Regiment did not inform the 10th Division of Shimada about Shimada's disappearance. Colonel Tanaka thought of rescuing Shimada or snatching his body back before reporting.

However, what Colonel Tanaka and even the 10th Division did not know was that the 12th Army Command was under great pressure from this public opinion war and they wanted to fight back. They found many photographers and took photos of a large number of anti-Japanese corpses on other battlefields to promote their achievements. They also decided to hold a medal conference in Jinan Prefecture to publicly commend Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada to promote their brilliant victories in the battle of Taohua Mountain. They had already released this news by the North China Public Security Daily this morning.

The 10th Division did not receive a notice because it was the 12th Army that was engaged in public opinion propaganda. The matters of the 12th Army were not related to the combat troops below. Moreover, General Fujiwara, the deputy commander of the Army Department of the Base Camp, will come to Jinan for inspection on May 16. Therefore, the date of the awarding ceremony of the 12th Army Command was set on May 18.

At this time, there was still half a month left before May 18, and Jinan City was only one day away from the 63rd Regiment Headquarters. And they did not expect that the Taohuashan Anti-Japanese Army could actually attack Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada in the 63rd Regiment Headquarters, which was heavily guarded. Therefore, they just wanted to let Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada go to Jinan two or three days in advance when holding a celebration meeting. Therefore, there was no need to notify the 10th Division so long in advance.

The Japanese concealed each other, giving the anti-Japanese military and civilians a chance to slap in the face.

Gao Han and others escorted Shimada and continued to march west for more than 20 miles, and then they saw that the Japanese and puppet troops set up Luka ahead. It seemed that the Japanese and puppet troops had taken action, and their goal was to search Shimada.

It was obviously impossible to continue marching in broad daylight. Gao Han and his team decided to march at night. This place was plains, so they could only find a forest to hide it.

Shortly after they entered the woods, the sound of a brigade of Japanese and puppet troops passing by came from the highway. It was a convoy of Japanese and puppet troops. After about half an hour, a brigade of Japanese and puppet troops passed by, including infantry and cavalry.

When this team of Japanese and puppet troops passed by, they saw the forest and actually stopped and sent a squad of Japanese soldiers and a small team of security troops to search in the forest.

The depth of this forest is not large, only sixty or seventy meters. Gao Han and others not only hinder Shimada, but also six horses. The target is too big and it will be discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops in no time.

Gao Han watched the Japanese and puppet troops searching step by step, and decisively ordered the seized guns and ammunition to find a low-lying place and simply hide it. Then everyone got on their horses and rushed out from the back of the woods. Behind was a large wheat field, and Gao Han and others ran wildly in the wheat field.

The actions of Gao Han and others alarmed the Japanese and puppet troops. They ran and chased after them while shooting.

The Japanese and puppet troops who were staying on the highway also followed. The Japanese commander who led the team also sent cavalry correspondents to notify other Japanese search troops and intercept Gao Han and others.

Gao Han and others had a total of six horses. The horses they rode were originally ordinary horses, and they carried some radio stations, military uniforms of Japanese and puppet troops, weapons and ammunition and other unabandoned supplies on their backs. It was difficult to march quickly. Now there was a heavy Shimada, and the two of them couldn't get far away when they rode.

There were more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops chasing them. The most fatal thing was that there was a cavalry team of more than 30 people, which was very difficult to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

Moreover, not long after, the Japanese and puppet troops who received the news would encircle from all directions.

Gao Han and others encountered an unprecedented real crisis since they went to Taohua Mountain.

The situation is very critical, and Gao Han and others must quickly get rid of the enemy.

Gao Han tied Shimada to his horse's back, and Jia Liu led the horse's reins. He followed behind the special forces members on foot to cover.

The special forces members all knew that Gao Han had various super abilities, including running fast. This time they opened their eyes - they rode on a fast horse, and Gao Han was able to keep up with them with just his legs.

Gao Han ran while thinking about countermeasures. This was a wide plain area and was easily surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops. They had to quickly get rid of the Japanese and puppet troops chasing and jump out of the encirclement that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to form.

He ran and looked back, and soon found an opportunity to get rid of the Japanese and puppet troops. Instead of shooting to stop the Japanese and puppet troops from pursuing, he continued to follow the special forces members.

Gao Han's legs were able to catch up with the fast horses, but the Japanese and puppet troops could not. In less than 20 minutes, the Japanese and puppet troops could not run, and the only ones who could catch up was the Japanese cavalry team of more than 30 people.

Seeing that the Japanese and puppet troops were thrown away, Gao Han began to show his power.

He ran and turned around and shot. With each gunshot, a Japanese fell down from the horse. A few minutes later, less than half of the more than 30 Japanese cavalrymen were left.

The living Japanese cavalrymen discovered this strange situation and couldn't help but slow down their horses and hesitated a little.

Gao Han simply stopped, fired three shots in a row, and shot three more Japanese devils off the horse.

Zhang Quan and others also stopped and began to shoot at the Japanese pursuers, and soon killed two more Japanese.

The remaining Japanese cavalry could not bear the pressure of such heavy casualties, so they turned around and fled.

The special forces team chased after him. Their target was not the escaped Japanese, but the war horses left by the Japanese who were killed. Soon, they caught eight tall Japanese horses.

The team members changed into Japanese military uniforms and rode on Japanese Dongyang horses, which would be much easier to get out of the way.
