Ever since two squadrons of the Japanese devils were annihilated, they no longer dared to send any vanguards to pursue He Daqing's troops.

They just organized the whole army and acted together.

Although the speed is much slower, it is safer.

At this time, the Japanese no longer thought about encircling and annihilating He Daqing's troops.

After three days of pursuit, Ye Fuchangde had clearly realized that his troops could not catch up with He Daqing.

He was now just hanging behind He Daqing, waiting for the arrival of support troops.

After his and Sifang Liangji's application, the Army Headquarters finally agreed to transfer the 110th Regiment of the 139th Division stationed in Shijiazhuang to the Peking area to participate in the encirclement of He Daqing.

The 110th Division is much more powerful than Nozoe Masato's 63rd Division.

第63师团是1943年5月1日在华北以独立混成第15、6旅团人员为基干组建,辖步兵第66、67旅团及炮兵队等。

This division was basically formed by some remnants of defeated troops and some new recruits.

In fact, neither their fighting will nor their fighting skills are particularly strong.

But the 110th Division is different.

第110师团是1938年6月16日在日本本土以第10师团留守人员组建,辖步兵第108旅团(步兵第139、140联队)、步兵第133旅团(步兵第110、163联队)及野炮兵第110联队等。

When this division was formed, the Japanese had not yet recruited junior high school students.

So the soldiers in this division have received good training.

And he also trained on the battlefield in China for many years.

It can be said that the hands of every soldier in the 110th Division are stained with the blood of the Chinese.

The fighting will and combat skills of these devils are far stronger than those of the 63rd Division.

Nozoe Masato also knows this situation, so now he has the idea of ​​giving up.

His team has suffered heavy losses, and he doesn't even know whether the headquarters will ask him to commit seppuku to apologize after this incident is over.

Therefore, he is now trying his best not to make mistakes and lose lives, and when the people from the 110th Division arrive, he will cooperate with them honestly.

As long as he achieves excellent results in the end, he can get some credit and maybe he can escape this disaster.

"Boss, we have been holding the Japanese hostage for two or three days. Let's get rid of them. We don't have enough food now. If we let the Japanese follow us like this, we will starve."

For most soldiers, the two-day march did not feel very hard.

He Daqing deliberately slowed down his pace in order to keep the Japanese behind him.

He also knew that most of the Japanese soldiers near Peking were already behind him.

At this time, as long as he could delay the Japanese, their other towns would definitely be attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

If the Eighth Route Army had been more powerful, the Japanese might have only had Peking as their last city.

"Okay, then when we rest tonight, we will teach the devils a lesson, and then we will speed up our evacuation at night."

Nozoe Changde was also having a headache at this time. Under normal circumstances, his support should have arrived.

After all, Baoding and Beijing are not far away.

If we travel at full speed, we can reach the destination in one day.

But now two days have passed and the reinforcements have not arrived yet.

This made him feel more and more uncertain.

"Send a telegram and ask what's going on with the support from the 110th Division? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

The chief of staff immediately ordered the signalman to turn on the radio he was carrying.

Start sending telegrams.

Almost an hour later, they got a reply from the other party.

"Division Commander, the telegram says that they have been harassed by the Eighth Route Army since they entered Peking.

Moreover, the counties and strongholds along the way have already been captured by the Eighth Route Army, and he needs to recapture them one city at a time."

After listening to this, Nozoe Changde snatched the telegram directly, looked at it carefully, and then threw it on the ground.

“Asshole, you actually dared to call me a waste, what’s so great about them taking back a few counties?

What's so great about them driving away the Eighth Route Army? If I hadn't been chasing this elite Eighth Route Army, did he think they could fight so peacefully?

Now they are laughing at me for being useless. I think they are the useless ones."

Ye Fuchangde also knew that the county towns of Beiping were successively captured by the Eighth Route Army.

But he couldn't help it.

Now that his two squadrons were dispersed, they were wiped out in an instant, which made him dare not let these troops disperse and return to garrison.

He believed that as long as he dispersed his troops, his few remaining troops would eventually be eliminated one by one.

His plan now is to destroy He Daqing's troops in the wild if possible.

If they really couldn't destroy them, they would abandon the small county town and only occupy Beijing.

“Division Commander, they probably don’t know the situation. They estimate the combat capability of the Eighth Route Army based on the previous situation of the Eighth Route Army.

That's why this idea came into being. As long as he comes into conflict with the Eighth Route Army we are chasing, he will naturally know how brutal this group of Eighth Route Army is.

Now, what should we do? Return to the city, or continue the pursuit? "

Actually, Nozoe Masatoshi didn't want to chase anymore.

After chasing for so many days, he also understood that the other party was just trying to escape from him.

Every time his soldiers were exhausted from chasing, the other side didn't even break a sweat.

Moreover, the other side would occasionally send troops to harass them at night.

What’s even more disgusting is that among the soldiers sent by the other side to harass us, there are actually many sharpshooters hiding inside.

If luck is bad, more than a dozen of our own soldiers will die in one night.

In total, nearly 50 people have died in the battle over the past few days.

This caused the morale of his soldiers to be very low.

"The main force will return to the city tomorrow, and the Imperial Army will continue to pursue them. We only need to determine their location. There is no need for the Imperial Army to engage in a firefight with them."

The staff officer finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Nobue Changde said.

He was afraid that the commander would insist on his own way and continue the pursuit.

They also knew the sixteen-character principle of guerrilla warfare.

He was very clear that at this moment he was indeed trapped in the standard guerrilla warfare combat mode.

As long as he speeds up and chases, the opponent will immediately speed up and get rid of them.

When they rest at night, the other party will find ways to harass and attack them.

"Well, let me talk to the soldiers about this matter. If any of them are willing to stay and continue searching tomorrow, let them search. It's just right that we can go back to Peking to replenish our supplies and urge the 110th Division to join us as soon as possible.

Let's attack this Eighth Route Army together and nip them in the bud."

Just as the two were discussing tomorrow's troop movements, He Daqing and his three men, as well as those soldiers with particularly good eyesight, had already reached the vicinity of the camp.
