    Although the first troops to engage in firefights with the Japanese army only had two companies, those Japanese troops seemed to have no intention of organizing a counterattack. Only two small groups were left to hold them back. The main force was still moving towards Sanchongling.  direction to retreat.

    Such a no-cost retreat would definitely result in the loss of a large amount of baggage and personnel for the Japanese Fifth Division.

    But Seishiro Itagaki knew very well that if he didn't do this, the entire Fifth Division might be involved.

    Xia Yang, who was chasing the Japanese army in the rear, heard the situation reported by Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang, and couldn't help but said: "This Itagaki Seishiro has the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist.

    ??????????????????????? If that guy Yoshika Ryosuke had chosen to disperse and break out when he was just besieged, he would definitely be able to save most of the main force, and we would not be completely wiped out.  "

    "It's a pity that Yoshika Ryosuke still has some illusions in his heart, and always feels that there is still room for maneuver.

    "Order the troops to speed up, put aside heavy weapons first, and pursue with light equipment!" Xia Yang also gave the order decisively.

    At this time, the Chinese and Japanese armies began a pursuit battle among the vast mountains of Taibai Mountain.

    The Japanese army threw away everything they could, even the mountain artillery of the mountain artillery regiment, in order to maximize the speed of their retreat.

    The Fourth Army on the other side also lost everything they could. On the way the Japanese army retreated, artillery and mortars abandoned by the Japanese army could be seen everywhere, as well as a large number of other weapons and equipment, and supplies.

    If it had been before, they would have definitely picked up these weapons, but now they are not even interested in taking a look.

    All the soldiers could see in their eyes were the Japanese troops fleeing in front of them.

    Most of them only carried dry food, guns and ammunition, and chased the Japanese Fifth Division to beat them.

    Similar scenes actually happen often in this land.

    When the Japanese army attacked Shanxi, Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army was also chased and beaten by the Japanese army in this way.

    What the Japanese army never imagined was that one day they would abandon their armor and flee in disgrace.

    This chase battle lasted for more than five hours, and it was not over until the main force of the Japanese Fifth Division entered Sanchong Ridge.

    Although the main force of the Japanese army successfully withdrew to Sanchongling, a large number of wounded soldiers, as well as countless supplies and weapons and equipment, were all left behind.

    Although the retreat was relatively timely, the Japanese army also suffered thousands of casualties during the retreat.

    Itagaki Seishiro climbed onto the Triple Ridge. Looking at Xia Yang and his troops who were getting closer and closer to the Triple Ridge, he knew that if he hadn't made a decisive decision and the enemy had bitten them, he might not have been able to reach the Triple Ridge alive.

    More than a month ago, he led his troops, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, to the foot of Sanchong Ridge.

    Originally, he thought that more than a month would be enough for him to attack the enemy's hinterland and completely annihilate the enemies entrenched here.

    ¡°But Itagaki Seishiro didn¡¯t expect that the enemy would be so tenacious, let alone that he would be defeated today.

    When night fell, Xia Yangcai met up with Li Yunlong and Chen Shiliang.

    At this time, the troops behind them had received orders and began to pick up the equipment left by the Japanese army.

    Originally, Itagaki Seishiro ordered the soldiers to destroy all equipment when discarding it.

    But the time to retreat was too tight. Xia Yang's pursuit troops were almost behind them. Bullets and artillery shells fell in front of the Japanese army from time to time, leaving them no time to destroy their weapons.

    Those mortars and mountain artillery were abandoned directly on the mountain road, as well as a large number of artillery shells and ammunition, etc., were also abandoned there.

    For the Japanese army, there is no equipment and guns to resupply. If they lose their lives, then they really have nothing.

    The soldiers of the independent regiment also participated in the vigorous sequence of picking up equipment.  On the contrary, some of Xia Yang's troops looked down upon the Japanese equipment and were picky about it.

    For example, they had little interest in the Japanese army¡¯s crooked machine gun because the gun¡¯s performance was really unstable and it jammed every now and then.

    "Compared to the crooked tricks, the Japanese army's 38-year-old Gaier actually liked them more.  After all, the shooting accuracy of this rifle is very high.High, easy to maintain, and durable.

    Xia Yang did not intend to continue attacking the Japanese troops who entered Sanchong Ridge.

    Because the Japanese army has built strong fortifications there, if you want to attack fiercely, although you can eventually win it, you will definitely have to pay some price.

    It would be better to wait for the Japanese troops to withdraw, then send troops to occupy it and build fortifications there again.

    The news that the Fifth Division had withdrawn from Taibai Mountain also reached the Eighth Division.

    Originally, the Eighth Division wanted to wait two days before retreating, but when they heard that the Fifth Division had abandoned its armor and was being chased and beaten by Xia Yang's troops, they immediately chose to retreat.

    Because the Fifth Division here has been driven out, it will be their turn next.

    At this point, the Japanese attack on Taibai Mountain was basically over.

    They dropped tens of thousands of corpses here, but hardly achieved any desired offensive results.

    This was naturally unacceptable to the Japanese army, but for Yoshio Shinozuka, just annihilating one division was not bad.

    Because according to the report of the Fifth Division, if they hadn't run so fast, they would have lost two reorganized divisions in Taibai Mountain.

    The scale of this battle exceeded the previous Battle of Mount Wutai.

    "But the Japanese army only paid a greater price, but did not achieve their strategic goals at all.  It is not an exaggeration to say that he lost his wife and lost his troops.

    In addition to losing troops and generals, many people in Lingqiu County were also brought to the ancient city of Mongolia by Xia Yang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
