“The Japanese army is catching up!”
After the successful air raid, President Jiang and the senior leaders of the National Army were greatly encouraged and their confidence was greatly improved!
Without the assistance of the Foot Basin Navy, the firepower of the Foot Basin Army would be reduced by a level, and they would be completely exposed in the wilderness if they left the trench bunkers they built and chased the retreating National Army in the wilderness!
In this case, Seckt persuaded President Jiang to let President Jiang throw that army in!
This army may be the only organized mechanized force in the Far East!
In the plains, how powerful is this force? One million eyes of the National Army are staring at it!
On May 4, the Japanese army began to pursue. In order to lure the enemy into their ambush circle, the national army deliberately pretended to be defeated, throwing away their armor and weapons along the way, abandoning a large amount of baggage and weapons and equipment, so that the Japanese army firmly believed that the confidence of the national army had been destroyed, and they could kill them all like cutting melons and vegetables as long as they rushed up!
Moreover, the Japanese army had received a death order from the Minister of the Army at this time, requiring them to take over the entire Songhu City as soon as possible, and even requiring them to launch an attack on the capital of the Celestial Empire as soon as possible, and strive to take it here in the shortest time, so as to make the army look good!
In the case that the navy suffered heavy losses due to the enemy’s air raid, if the army could unexpectedly take over the enemy’s capital, then their position in Tianhuang’s heart might be… They will surpass the navy, and then they will be able to overwhelm the navy’s arrogance and make the navy guys lose face!
So, after relaxing their vigilance, the Japanese army, under the strict order of their superiors, launched a crazy attack on the Celestial Empire’s army. They chased them like mad dogs for a full 30 kilometers, and they didn’t mean to stop. It seems that they intend to chase them all the way from Songhu to Nanjing City, and take down the Celestial Empire’s capital Nanjing City while the Celestial Empire’s army is not yet stable!
Not to mention, if the national army is really defeated at this time, then their plan is really likely to be realized, because this is how the people of the foot basin played in history, and they played it successfully!
But this time, their luck is not so good!
“General, the enemy has completely entered our ambush circle. Should we open fire immediately?”
In a forest, the Nationalist soldiers have dug trenches, set up machine guns and artillery, and have been waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army for a long time!
At this moment, because the Japanese army pursued too deeply, they were completely disconnected from the Japanese army on the southern line and were cut off by the southern line of the Celestial Empire’s army, forming a salient on the battlefield.
At this time, the Japanese army was to the north of the Yangtze River, to the south of the Celestial Empire’s southern line troops, to the west of them were the Celestial Empire’s northern line troops, and to the east was the direction they came from.
In other words, except for the road they came from in the east, the other three directions of the Japanese army were no longer passable!
As long as the Nationalist army can successfully cut off the Japanese army’s retreat, then this pursuing Japanese army may be completely destroyed!
Even if the Nationalist army failed to cut off the Japanese army’s retreat, in the case of attack, the Japanese army would be attacked from both sides and would surely fall into chaos.
In the wilderness without any cover On the other hand, the Nationalist Army’s artillery and machine guns will cause great casualties.
They have no position to hold, and there is flat land all around.
It is obviously too late to build fortifications and dig trenches, so they have only one choice: to retreat!
And once they retreat, the Nationalist Army will rush out to pursue them. How fiercely they pursued the Nationalist Army before, the Nationalist Army will be more brutal in pursuing them this time. At a distance of 10,000 kilometers, the right wing of the Nationalist Army is protected by the army on the southern front, and there is no need to worry about being counter-encircled by the Japanese army, so they can boldly pursue for 30 kilometers in one breath.
For the Japanese army, a distance of 30 kilometers is too long for them to be pursued for so long!
Those Nationalist Army troops who played the role of the rout almost became a rout while pretending to retreat!
At least their There were well-prepared Nationalist troops behind them to support them, otherwise they might really be eaten by the Japanese army!
This shows how easy it is to be defeated during the retreat!
Xue Yue buried his head very low.
He picked up the telescope and took a look.
The Japanese army did not check whether there was an ambush around them at all.
They just kept rushing forward.
In front of them, the friendly troops acting as bait were playing the role of a defeated army in a very serious manner.
They threw their weapons and equipment everywhere along the way, which deeply stimulated the Japanese soldiers.
The cowardice and incompetence of the Nationalist soldiers aroused the beastliness in their bones.
Some soldiers held rifles and bayonets, howling and chasing after the Celestial Empire army, as if they were going to rush up and stab the Celestial Empire soldiers in front with bayonets!
At this time, the Japanese army running in the front was only a few meters away from the ambush of the Celestial Empire army. To 500 meters, and some of the retreating Chinese soldiers have approached the position and are about to come in!
Xue Yue heard the words of the adjutant beside him, he did not speak, nor did he look back, but stared at the rapidly approaching foot basin army in front!
400 meters!
300 meters!
200 meters!
The ferocious expressions on the faces of the Japanese soldiers could even be seen clearly, and as a large number of Chinese soldiers disappeared in their ambush positions, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front had even begun to slow down and became alert.
They seemed to have discovered something unusual in the woods in front!
Bang!
Several Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front shot at the backs of the fleeing national soldiers with their guns. The Japanese soldiers’ marksmanship was quite good. Although the Type 38 rifle had many weaknesses, this type of gun had a high degree of accuracy and was very suitable for shooting within a range of 200-400 meters.
Hearing the gunshots and seeing his own soldiers being shot, Xue Yue’s heart was in his throat!
The distance of 200 is not the best distance. If the opponent can get closer, he will be sure to kill most of the opponent in the first round of firing!
But at this time, the enemy took the initiative to open fire and kill his own soldiers. Although they were pretending to flee, this provocative move would inevitably anger his own soldiers who were ambushed in the position. If someone couldn’t help but open fire in advance, then his hard work would be in vain!
So after hearing the gunshot, Xue Yue was very nervous. The tension was just like the first time he went to the battlefield!
Bang!
The Japanese army was still shooting, and several Chinese soldiers were knocked down one after another, but what relieved Xue Yue was that the ambush position on the Chinese side was quiet, without any sound.
