    Speaking of this, Xia Yang frowned and said, "What a pity"

    "What's a pity?"

    Wei Xing asked.

    Xia Yang said: "It is a pity that both Meijiro Xiangzu and Guderian are too decisive. If they hesitate for a night and wait until daytime to break out, then the situation on the battlefield will be different. We will also have problems in this direction.  The troops stopped them.

    By then, these little devils will be like turtles in a urn, and they won¡¯t be able to escape even if they want to.  "

    Hearing this, Wei Xing said: "It's not too late to pursue the Japanese army now."

    But Xia Yang shook his head and said: "No, our troops in this area are limited. Although the armored forces have strong maneuverability, these are mountainous areas, and our armored forces cannot enter them to pursue the Japanese army.

    If they are determined to break out of this mountainous area, it will be almost impossible to completely block them by relying solely on the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

    The Japanese army may even choose to divide their forces and break out from three different directions.

    In this way, although they may lose one of their forces, the main force will be retained.  We cannot annihilate them all this time. When they return to the Northeast region and repair themselves, they can regain their strength.  We have to put in a lot of effort.  "

    Wei Xing said at this time: "There is nothing we can do about this. We are already trying our best to attack. Unfortunately, the Japanese army has left us too little time. If we give us another half day, these little devils will die in this area."

    Xia Yang could only comfort himself by saying, "Yes, we cannot place our hope of defeating the enemy on the stupidity of the enemy commander.

    Neither Yoshijiro Xiangzu nor Guderian on the opposite side are fools. Just annihilate as many as they can.  This battle cannot be solved in one battle. There is a long way to go.  "

    With such emotion, he ordered: "Order, the front-line troops, step up the offensive against the Japanese army. After breaking through the Japanese army's defense line, immediately launch a pursuit of the Japanese army's retreating troops. When encountering the baggage and materials abandoned by the Japanese army, do not pay attention to them, just try your best to pursue them."

    The armored troops do not have to stop advancing and pass through the Tashan defense line to support the Eighth Route Army troops stationed in the Qilihe area.  "

    "yes!!!"

    Wei Xing shouted and immediately walked outside.

    The attack on the frontal Japanese troops continues, showing no signs of weakening. On the contrary, it is getting stronger.

    The armored troops led by Liu Fudong have broken through the Japanese flank defenses and begun to encircle the Japanese army.

    However, they did not devote all their forces to the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese troops in the rear. Instead, they allocated half of their forces to continue attacking forward.

    They will continue to attack the fleeing Japanese troops. If the Japanese troops flee to the mountains and they are unable to pursue them, these armored units will continue to advance northeast, all the way to the Qili River line, to support the Eighth Route Army troops.

    At this time, the leading troops of the Japanese army had entered the mountainous area and were groping forward on the dark mountain road.

    Behind them were a large number of Japanese soldiers who were also moving forward lightly.

    Most of them only carried a few days of dry food and supplies, as well as pills necessary for combat, and even small-caliber mountain cannons were abandoned by them.

    Some of the baggage and weapons discarded by the Japanese army were destroyed by the Japanese army, but some Japanese troops were in a hurry to retreat and did not even bother to destroy them. They threw them directly in the camp and followed their main force to retreat into the mountains.

    More than 100,000 Japanese troops retreated, forming a long queue on the mountain road.

    Over the heads of this Japanese army, the reconnaissance planes of the Fourth Army kept passing over, spying on the movements of the Japanese army at this time.

    The information they obtain will be passed to the headquarters of the Fourth Army as soon as possible.

    The headquarters of the Fourth Army will share this information with Li Yunlong and others who are also pursuing and intercepting the Japanese army.

    Guderian was riding on his horse, looking at the darkness ahead and the lights dimly flickering on the mountain road, his eyes filled with sadness.

    He did not expect that an attack he launched with great ambition would end in such a result.

    On the way to escape in embarrassment, he began to reflect on why he failed.

    This time, ??With the cold of winter, on the contrary, the weather is getting warmer.

    This time, there was no torrent of steel from the Soviets, nor their surging sea of ??people.

    But he still failed.

    Guderian reflected on himself and looked for the reasons for his failure.

    There are many reasons for this. For example, air superiority has always been controlled by the enemy. In terms of frontal artillery firepower, the enemy seems to be more prepared. Not only that, the enemy soldiers also have a more tenacious fighting will.

    With just over a thousand men, they were able to withstand the fierce attack of their more than 100,000 troops for a whole day with their solid fortifications.

    Even this group of troops was able to retreat unscathed from the heavy siege.

    Of course, the most critical thing is the Eighth Route Army troops, which he despises.

    He originally thought that the troops of the Eighth Route Army and the troops of the Fourth Army were simply incomparable.

    But in the battle on the front line of Tashan, he could see clearly through the telescope. The enemies on the opposite side, in rags and patches, used rudimentary weapons and equipment to resist the onslaught of their armored forces.

    Those people had no solid fortifications or favorable terrain. They only relied on their flesh and blood to block the fierce attack of their troops.

    The strong will of that group of people is the best defense.

    At this time, Meijiro Xiangzu, who was behind him, said: "What's wrong? It looks like you are in a very heavy mood."

    When he spoke, there was a smile on his face. He seemed to have expected this failure.

    Guderian turned his head and said: "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little emotional. The enemies on the battlefield are as hard as steel."

    "Yes, it is indeed as hard as steel. Perhaps, you should be allowed to go to South China to command the battle. The Chinese army there is easier to deal with. Fighting with them, you may feel the sense of accomplishment you felt when you chased the French army."

    ??Xiangzu Meijiro sighed.

    Guderian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "No need, I didn't have much sense of accomplishment when chasing the French army. If there is really something worth showing off to me, it would be to use the armored army in my hands to defeat the Soviet Union.  The steel-like defense line successfully advanced for hundreds of kilometers and even reached the outskirts of their capital."
