The Japanese soldiers continued to retreat, but not long after, they were attacked by troops of an underground party armed regiment and lost many people.

The Kwantung Army has strong combat effectiveness, but after a series of blows, their morale has dropped greatly. The army's system has been incomplete, and it is difficult to organize effective combat operations. They just fled to the north.

Soon after, they were intercepted by the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces again.

This time, there were three armed regiments of the underground party. They blocked the Japanese army's retreat, and the Japanese army had to stop.

Running ahead was the troops of the First Japanese Division. The commander of the First Division saw that the underground party armed forces were constantly bullying them, and he was anxious and organized his troops to launch a fierce attack on the underground party armed blocking positions.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers had excellent strength. In order to avoid major casualties, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party evacuated the battlefield for half an hour. In this battle, the Japanese soldiers lost hundreds more people.

The Japanese soldiers fled desperately. They hoped that they could escape like a perpetual motion machine. Unfortunately, it took physical strength to escape. They had not eaten when they escaped from the barracks. Now they were hungry, and their legs were like they were filled with lead and could not run at all, so they had to stop and rest again.

While burying the pot and making rice, the Japanese soldiers prayed to Aunt Tian Zhao for blessing and not to bomb the enemy's air force again.

It seems that their prayers have had a certain effect, and the enemy's bombers really did not fly over again.

The food was finally ready, and the Japanese soldiers were all hungry. The fragrance of the food made them feel more hungry. Everyone lined up, hoping that it would be their turn as soon as possible.

At this moment, a slight sound came from the sky. Countless small black dots visible to the naked eye flew over. A large number of rockets tore the air and fell towards the Japanese camp. The Japanese soldiers were blown away from blood and flesh. A pot of freshly prepared white rice was overturned to the ground, mixed with the soil blown away by the rockets, and it was inedible.

In fact, even if some marching pots were not blown away, no one of the Japanese soldiers had the courage to stay here for dinner. Eating is very important, but escaping is even more important. The Japanese soldiers threw away their lunch boxes and continued to flee to the north.

Soon Zhang Quan and others led the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to chase after him. They saw that the number of Japanese soldiers was still large, so they did not go around to intercept them, but followed them to launch attacks, and they could kill one.

The Japanese soldiers continued to flee, and soon afterwards were attacked by troops from an underground party anti-Japanese armed forces.

The Japanese soldiers were also anxious. They charged towards the underground party armed forces blocking the road regardless of their lives.

In order to avoid major casualties, the underground party armed forces quickly evacuated after a while.

This still delayed the speed of the Japanese soldiers' escape. The Taohua Mountain guerrillas seized the opportunity and fired rockets at the Japanese army, causing hundreds of casualties.

Shigeru Fujita was beaten up and knew that escaping like this was not a solution. Sooner or later, he would be eaten up little by little.

So he made up his mind and prepared to stop and set up a formation to fight the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Shigeru Fujita sent people to the First Division and the Ninth Division to issue orders to ask the First Division to attack the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces blocking the road ahead, and to ask the Ninth Division to turn around to attack the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Unfortunately, only the First Division carried out his orders. The Japanese at this moment did not want to fight, but the officers and soldiers of the First Division knew that if they could not open up the road to escape back to the Northeast, they would die here.

So the officers and soldiers of the First Division launched a fierce attack on the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces that blocked the road.

The officers and soldiers of the 9th Division were already scared by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, so it was unimaginable that they turned around to attack the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

The commander of the Ninth Division ignored Shigeru Fujita's orders at all. His only idea now was to quickly open the passage to escape to the north, so he commanded the troops to launch an attack on the underground anti-Japanese armed forces from the flank of the First Division, hoping that the two main divisions would work together to quickly open the road to retreat north.

The Taohua Mountain Guerrillas really hope that the Japanese can set up their own formations and fight with them. In this way, they can use their firepower advantages to attack the Japanese army and destroy their live power in large quantities. The Japanese will run constantly and use artillery fire to eliminate them.

Gao Jiu and others were marching, and the traces of the Japanese were found in front of them.

This area is full of plains and has no commanding heights, so Gao Jiu climbed onto the roof of a truck cab and looked forward.

Soon he saw clearly the distribution of the Japanese army and ordered rocket launchers to load ammunition and shoot at the Japanese army.

Faced with the Japanese attack, the underground anti-Japanese armed forces stubbornly blocked. They repelled an attack from the Japanese army, and the Japanese army had to stop.

At this moment, the 107mm rocket flew over like raindrops, blowing the Japanese army into tears and howling.

Shigeru Fujita no longer had the idea of ​​fighting to the death with the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. He followed the troops of the 9th Division to flee to the north.

The rocket explosion woke the Japanese, knowing that the terrible Taohua Mountain guerrillas were chasing them.

So they went crazy and launched a charge towards the blocking positions of the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party.

Tens of thousands of Japanese devils fought desperately and rushed up all over the mountains.

When the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces saw this situation, in order to avoid being surrounded by the Japanese, they fought and retreated, and quickly left the battlefield.

The Japanese soldiers were unwilling to fight, and no one was willing to pursue the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party. They crossed the blocking positions of the underground party armed forces and continued to flee to the north.

Wang Zhankui saw the Japanese running constantly, which would have been much worse for their firepower strikes, and even sending air force bombing would not have much effect.

He said: "Jiu Ye, send a telegram to the underground party and ask them to send more troops to block the Japanese. If they run like this, how long will it take for us to completely eliminate them?"

Gao Jiu said: "There is no need for this. It's good to leave a way out for the Japanese to escape and give them a lucky mentality, so that they have no intention of fighting with us. If they are completely desperate and take a desperate bet, they will cause major casualties to the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.

Now the Japanese are frightened birds, and they are very tired. They have no weapons and ammunition to supplement them. If they continue like this, they will lose their combat power. What we need to do now is not to eliminate many Japanese people at once, but to chase rabbits, so that they can't get time to rest and continue to consume their physical strength until they collapse."

Wang Zhankui and others said together: "I understand, Master Jiu."

Everyone led their troops to continue behind the Japanese and chased them slowly.

All the guerrillas in Taohua Mountain were riding cars or horses, and most of the Japanese soldiers ran there with their short legs. If they continued like this, they would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

Gao Jiu and others were marching, and a guerrilla cavalry came over with several people wearing underground party anti-Japanese armed uniforms.

Gao Jiu ordered to stop the car, got out of the car and greeted him.

The visitor was the deputy commander of the underground party, the chief of staff and others, who had just led the troops to block the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu expressed his sincere gratitude to the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces and invited them to pursue the Japanese army with the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The leaders of the northern Shandong Military Region readily agreed and took the initiative to provide food supply to the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Guo Hengming told the person in charge of the underground party that there was no need to waste time in this regard. The Taohuashan guerrillas carried a large amount of supplies, which not only could meet the supply of the guerrillas, but even the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party did not have to spend time raising supplies, but were also provided by the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The deputy commander and the chief of staff looked at the convoy behind the guerrillas and knew that there were a lot of supplies on it.

However, there are more than 2,000 guerrillas in Taohua Mountain, and the underground party brought at least 5,000 troops. I am afraid that the guerrillas' supplies cannot meet the supply of so many people.

So they said it was not troublesome and would send someone else to transport food and other supplies.

Guo Hengming explained to them that there is no need to delay time in this regard now. Some of the Taohuashan guerrillas have transport planes and will deliver the required materials in a timely manner.

The deputy commander, the chief of staff and others were very envious when they saw the wealthy appearance of the Taohuashan guerrillas. The two quietly discussed that they would cooperate with the Taohuashan guerrillas to fight this battle. After the battle was completed, they hoped to get a batch of advanced equipment from the Taohuashan guerrillas.

When Wang Zhankui heard that he was from the Northern Military Region of Lu, he asked the old commander Zhao Wannian about his situation.

Today, Zhao Wannian is the commander of the Independent Division of the Military Region and the deputy commander of the Northern Lu Military Region. He is now leading the troops of the Independent Division to build positions in the front, preparing to block the Japanese Kwantung Army that fled north.

Wang Zhankui was worried that the Independent Division would suffer major casualties, so he asked the Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff to send a telegram to Zhao Wannian, asking them to give up blocking the front and harass the Japanese army along the way.

Under the pursuit of Taohua Mountain guerrillas and underground anti-Japanese armed forces, the remaining Japanese soldiers of the Kwantung Army used their strength to flee to the north. Although they were already very tired, they did not dare to stay at all.

Now their baggage has basically been lost, and even the wounded have been thrown away. The minor wounded can keep up with the marching team, even their luck. No one cares about those seriously injured people with limited mobility, and they let them fend for themselves.

The Japanese soldiers were fleeing, but suddenly they were attacked by the enemy again.

The commander of the First Division saw clearly that the person who attacked them turned out to be a militia wearing various costumes, which made him so angry that he smoked his orifices.

He really could not have imagined that the main division, which ranked first among the Japanese army, would have fallen to such a point and be bullied by militias from the underground party. If it were normal, he would have commanded his troops to eliminate these hateful militias.

However, a large number of pursuers were coming later. They had no intention at all. They just sent some troops to drive away the attacking militia and continued to flee to the north.

The militia attacked the Japanese were a district squad of the local anti-Japanese armed forces. They only had dozens of people. When they saw the Japanese fleeing in a panic, they also wanted to fight and get some bargains.

There were too many Japanese soldiers, so they fought and retreated. Despite this, they killed more than twenty Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers were in a very embarrassing situation. After they fled, the militiamen also picked up some weapons that the Japanese soldiers could not take away on the battlefield and made a fortune. The militiamen were all very excited.

Seeing the large group of people behind them chasing them, they came forward.

The deputy commander of the Northern Shandong Military Region verbally commended these brave militias, saying that they would repay their superiors for their merits.

Wang Zhankui also praised the militiamen who participated in the war and directly issued a submachine gun to each of them, and also gave them two mortars and four light machine guns.

The militia did not expect such a great gain, and they all cheered with excitement.

They also asked to follow the large army to pursue the Japanese army, so Wang Zhankui arranged two trucks for them to ride.

Most of the militiamen had never taken a car. They felt very fresh after getting on the car. They looked around and waited for the battle to finish the battle. After returning, they showed off their experiences to their acquaintances.

The Japanese soldiers continued to flee to the north, and as they ran, most of them had no strength. They had never eaten or had any supplements. The reason why they were able to run to this day was because their inner fear provided them with motivation.

But they were so tired that many Japanese soldiers lay on the ground, and no matter how coerced the superiors threatened them, they refused to get up.

Fujita Shigeru was constantly attacked by underground anti-Japanese armed forces along the way, but he did not receive any help from the Japanese army in Shandong. He was very angry and sent a telegram to General Haneda, asking him to notify the Japanese army in Shandong to help them repel the enemy's siege and provide them with food and ammunition.

However, after the telegram was sent, it was like a muddy bull entering the sea, without any response.

Shigeru Fujita understood that it was impossible for Haneda to provide help to them, so he sent a telegram to the North China Front Army.

Beiping City.

Hamada Yoshi was reading a book in the office, and the confidential consultant reported to him with a telegram sent by Shigeru Fujita.

After reading the telegram, Hamada Yoshihiro said to the confidential staff officer: "You did not send this telegram, and I did not see it. Do you understand what I mean?"

The confidential staff understood it, and he knew that this was the matter of the Chief of Staff who was unwilling to take care of the Kwantung Army.

So he said, "His Chief of Staff, the power has just been cut off and he has indeed received no telegrams."

Hamada Yoshihiro was very satisfied with the intelligence of the confidential staff. He said, "Yaxi, you did a good job. I will promote you to the rank of Central Assistant."
