Soon, the little devil brought in a few grenade launchers, and with a few muffled bangs, the flares were shot out.

Flares exploded in the air, illuminating the entire position like daylight.

Riichiro Katayama hastily took out his binoculars to look at it, but when he looked at it, his nose suddenly turned crooked!

I only saw that the position was empty, without a single figure!

"Baga! These Chinese soldiers really ran away! How despicable and cunning!" Katayama Riichiro cursed suddenly, drew out his command knife and split the table in front of him in half.

"Hurry up, gather your troops, and pursue them immediately. I must catch up with this group of Chinese troops, and I will wipe them out completely!" Katayama Satoichiro roared angrily.

"Hi!"

……

Soon, the little devil had assembled his troops, Katayama Riichiro left a large force to guard Chihe's position, and then led the rest of the large force to chase forward.

Sitting on the sidecar tricycle, Katayama Sato Ichiro was trembling with anger.

His brigade spent seven days and seven nights in order to attack this position, and lost two to three thousand people. Although they won this position, they let the opponent run away!

If it gets to the head of the division, what will the head of the division think of him, Sato Ichiro Katayama?

Will his fifth brigade be labeled as incompetent in the mind of the head of the division? !

The more Ichiro Katayama thought about it, the angrier he became, he wished he could catch up with the defenders now and wipe them all out!

"Baga! Cunning Chinese, if we catch up, I will cut off your heads with my own hands to vent my hatred!" Riichiro Katayama thought through gritted teeth.

When Riichiro Katayama's troops discovered that the 174th Division was retreating, the 174th Division had already retreated for almost half an hour, and the Japanese army could not catch up in a short time, not to mention that they also set up an ambush.

It can be said that the Fifth Japanese Brigade could not catch up with Wang Zanbin's troops at all.

At this time, at a distance of [-] to [-] miles from the Japanese army, Wang Zanbin was leading the troops to quickly evacuate towards Linhuaiguan. They had just passed Sanheji, and met the friendly troops ambushing in Sanheji.

Knowing the ambush they set up there, Wang Zanbin also relaxed.

Seeing all the soldiers running desperately in order to evacuate, they were all exhausted at this time, Wang Zanbin ordered the troops to rest on the spot and continue to advance after 10 minutes.

I called over to Tengchong and asked him to count the battle damage, but it turned out that nearly five or six thousand people had been lost!

Hearing this loss, Wang Zanbin's heart was bleeding!

All the soldiers of his 174th Division combined were only more than 8000 people, and they lost more than 5000 people, which was more than two-thirds!

This price is too great!

"Master, although we lost a lot, we also killed more than [-] Japanese soldiers, which is not a small victory!" Seeing that Wang Zanbin was in a bad mood, Teng Chong quickly said comfortingly.

Hearing Tengchong's words, Wang Zanbin nodded, looked at the soldiers around him, and couldn't help sighing.

My own side lost close to 6000 soldiers, and only wiped out more than 2000 Japanese troops. If you just look at the battle loss ratio, you may think it is a loss!

But this must take into account the equipment gap between the Republic of China and the Japanese army!

It is not easy to rely on equipment like the 174th Division to resist the attack of an elite brigade of the little devil for seven days and seven nights, and kill more than 2000 people!

It can even be said to be a victory!

Wang Zanbin knew how difficult it was to kill devils, so when he saw the loss ratio, he felt a little relieved.

"Brothers, you have done a good job, even far beyond my expectations! Although we lost a lot of brothers, we also killed more than 2000 little devils, it was worth it!" Wang Zanbin stretched out a thumb and said loudly said, "Brothers, I am so proud of you!"

Listening to Wang Zanbin's words, these soldiers had recovered a little from their depressed mood, and they were no longer as listless as before.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zanbin took a long breath and said to Tengchong: "No matter what, we still have to withdraw the troops first. After we go back, we should take a good rest. Although we ran out now, there are still friendly troops blocking the attack." , but it is not very safe after all..."

When he said this, he suddenly heard a burst of gunshots!

The gunshot sounded like fried beans, and it was continuous and became more and more intense as soon as it sounded.

Hearing the gunshot, Wang Zanbin's expression changed immediately!

This gunshot came from Sanheji!

"Master, it seems that the friendly army ambushing in Sanheji has already exchanged fire with the troops chasing after the little devil!" Teng Chong came over and said eagerly.

"Order the troops to pack up their things immediately and prepare to evacuate!" Wang Zanbin said quickly.

"Yes!"

Tengchong didn't talk nonsense, and directly assembled the troops quickly, and then continued to march rapidly, evacuating towards the rear.

As for the battle in the Sanheji area, after all, it was just a small group of troops in ambush. After blocking the Japanese army for less than half an hour, they couldn't hold on and led their troops back.

Even so, two or 300 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded!

After repelling the ambush of Sanheji, the Japanese Fifth Brigade did not pursue it, and went straight in the direction of the 174th Division's retreat.

In Riichiro Katayama's mind, the unit he most wanted to annihilate was the 174th Division!

However, what annoyed Riichiro Katayama was that the ambush troops who had just repelled Sanheji were ambushed again in the Majiagang area before they had gone far.

Although the ambush in the Majiagang area was quickly repelled, the Japanese Fifth Brigade was killed more than [-] people again!

In the following period of pursuit, small groups of troops from the Republic of China blocked along the way from time to time. Although it did not cause much trouble to the Japanese army, it still annoyed the Fifth Brigade of the Little Devils.

And the casualties are also rising rapidly!

Although only dozens or hundreds of people were lost in each battle, the ambushes encountered several times in succession, plus the soldiers lost in Majiagang and Sanheji, the total number of casualties was close to a thousand!

This situation made Ichiro Katayama, the head of the brigade of the Fifth Brigade, furious. He was furious during the march, and even scolded the troops of the Republic of China for being cunning and treacherous more than once, but after scolding, he was helpless.

Those small groups of blocking troops didn't stop after beating the little devils, and went directly to the dense forest in the ravine.

Regarding this situation, Riichiro Katayama hated itching his teeth.

Although he knew that the army was out of pursuit after such a delay, he still ordered the army to move on.

The headquarters of the third division has sent a message to let the fifth brigade rush to Linhuaiguan, and prepare to cross the Huaihe River with the large troops. Riichiro Katayama can only command the troops to move on.

The troops had just moved to the Mingguang area, but they were ambushed again. The Japanese army thought that the troops they encountered this time were still small groups, and wanted to wipe them out completely, so they sent an infantry brigade to press them up, trying to take advantage of them. Firepower, suppress the opponent.

Unexpectedly, what they encountered this time was the main force.

The infantry of the Japanese army ran head-on into the fierce firepower of the main force, and they suffered heavy losses when they first came into contact. After a fierce battle, the little devils lost more than a thousand people before they repelled the defenders.
