What Du Yuming didn't expect was that he had planned to hold out on the bank of the river until next spring, but although the Battle of Tonghua did not completely annihilate the Japanese army, it also opened the way to them.

That is to say, it has been run through from west to east, and with a supply line on the road, the logistics of their airborne troops no longer need to rely on the sky alone to transport them, and the air force has begun to get rich and prepare to bomb the little devils.

When Tonghua was recovered, the Japanese commander's troops had not yet crossed the river! 20,000 troops moved in an ant style, and it would take a month to do so.

Until now, the Japanese commander had transported more than five thousand soldiers across the river in his rubber boat! At least if he encounters the Chinese army, he still has the strength to fight on the other side of the river, and he is no longer the commander of the light pole.

With the opening of the logistics road this time, some important information has also been reported to Du Yuming's hands! When Du Yuming learned that the Japanese commander was missing, he was inexplicably entangled by something.

"Tell the patrolling troops to step up patrols on both sides of the river, if the little devils run away from us, it will be a big joke for our airborne troops to parachute behind enemy lines!"

The troops have been restocked, and the soldiers do not have to patrol in single clothes!

However, on the long river defense, relying on only four divisions stationed and patrolling, how could there be discoveries at any time!

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the woods are piled up with thick leaves! The cold wind blows, and the ancient trees squeak!

The little devils hiding in the woods are very disciplined, and even if the wind is biting, they don't have any fireworks! Even when the food was frozen hard, they didn't complain.

The Japanese commander who stayed behind the palace did not look like he was superior, he shared the weal and woe with his soldiers!

Out of the forest line, there was a regiment of Chinese troops stationed more than ten miles away from them, and every day patrolling Chinese troops passed by very close to them, and if they made the slightest mistake, they would be discovered.

The Japanese army was also very lucky, they slaughtered the people on a large scale back then, resulting in not many people around, let alone Orions entering the mountains!

"When we cross the river, everything will be fine!"

The little devil kept telling himself in his heart that after crossing the river safely, there would be hot baths, hot meals, and warm barracks!

The veterans of these little devils also have great hopes for their country, and they even think that they will fight back and unify the whole of Asia.

I have to say that the veterans of the Japanese army are still a little admirable for their bushido spirit and the spirit of admiration of the Great Japanese Empire, and they are still using these spirits to soothe their wounds when they escape! Faith, no matter how good or bad it is, can really sustain a person in the most difficult times.

But even if the pathetic little devils have insisted on their beliefs all their lives, it is not themselves who will determine their fate, and there is only one person who can decide whether they can live or not.

The Japanese commander is still moving ants, but the chief of the Japanese general staff is running for his life as fast as he can! If the Chinese army breaks through Zhaoyuan, it can threaten the city of Ha! At that time, it will not be far from recovering the entire northernmost region!

Once the Chinese army blocked his way to escape, no matter how he fled, he had no choice but to be buried with his million-strong army.

In fact, if he knew that Hu Guoshan had no intention of blocking him at all, would he vomit blood, and even choose to pack up his things slowly and leisurely, and take away all the money and property he could take away!

Now all he can take away is things related to the honor of the Japanese Army, which are very valuable in the homeland of the little devils, but when it comes to running for his life, this kind of thing is not even worth a copper plate.

But with this kind of thing, it is an honor and a symbol of power! It can still be recognized in the eyes of some soldiers and officers.

"Chief of the General Staff, our troops in Tonghua have been defeated!" A little devil's communications soldier reported to the chief of staff of the Japanese army.

"Nonsense, nonsense, how can our army of the Great Japanese Empire be defeated, I also received news this morning that they are destroying a million Chinese troops in Tonghua, and soon after, we can launch a counteroffensive again, and then the common prosperity of Greater East Asia will be realized! If you bewitch the people and disturb the morale of the army, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

The Chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Army, of course, knew what the result was, and there was no need for anyone to remind him at all! And how many Chinese troops in the northeast add up, if they really wiped out a million, he would still use such a panic to prepare to escape?

Obviously, the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army is trying to stabilize the morale of the army on his own side, and you must know that when you flee, you are most afraid that the troops will be prone to trouble, and once the troops are panicked, they will be prone to chaos when they flee, and they will not choose the way to panic, and they may rush headlong into the arms of the Chinese army.

In order to stabilize the troops, he can only make up lies, although many people don't believe it anymore, but as long as he believes it, because he still has to rely on this lie to live in the dark underground world for three years, without a little lie to deceive himself, how can he live with those cement walls.

Defeated, not only Tonghua will be defeated, Zhaoyuan will be defeated, Hacheng will be defeated, South Manchuria will be defeated, and North Manchu will also be defeated! As for their final retreat, the underground fortifications will also fail, and he will only choose to die a slow death, which is nothing more than the last loyalty to the emperor.

Anyway, the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army still has a way out, and the other troops on the front line have no way to retreat, and the Chinese troops are already in a state of mutual anxiety.

"Chief of the General Staff, what about the soldiers who have returned from the front?" A staff officer asked.

The Japanese army also has soldiers who keep fleeing back from the front line, and those who can escape from the Chinese army in a battle are also considered veterans!

However, the chief of the general staff of the Japanese army is not in the mood to care about them, and now he can't protect himself, and he still has to consider them?

"You stay, take care of the soldiers who fled back for me, and if you have escaped, I will take them away now!" said the Chief of the General Staff of the Japanese Army.

Hearing this, the Japanese staff officer was eager to shoot himself, and it would be nice if he didn't ask this sentence more! There are so many staff officers in the headquarters that he became the first bird!

Now it's good that the commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff have run away, leaving him with a staff officer who can't rank in the queue to stay, isn't this tantamount to sending him to death?

Moreover, the chief of the General Staff took away all the soldiers who had fled back and those who stayed behind, and he had no soldiers, who would listen to him as an unknown staff officer!

However, he was very lucky, fortunately, Hu Guoshan had already ordered to let them go, no matter how many of them there were, let them go!

The chief of the General Staff of the Japanese army threw an empty city to a staff officer in this way, and he couldn't even remember the name of this staff officer without thinking about it!

However, the fate of this Japanese staff officer is not very bad, there are indeed capable people in the group of Japanese soldiers who fled back from the front line, and these capable people also give him advice!

In just three days, he gathered 5,000 people from the defeated army, and these 5,000 people were also arranged by him to be the leader! Of course, this is not his personal ability, but someone is deliberately helping him to form a preliminary formation of this unit.

Of course, the person who helped him also escaped from the battlefield, and although he had the status of an officer, his position obviously did not match his ability.

This did not affect the trust of the Japanese staff officers in him, and even promoted him to a higher position, allowing him to help manage the troops, and this group of defeated people also had some power, at least many people knew that one of them was from Kyoto, and was appreciated by his superiors.

After the departure of the chief of staff of the Japanese army, a detachment of soldiers who had fled began to set out for the Japanese underground fortifications.

Not to mention, their team also recruited a lot of people on the road, of course, most of the Japanese refugees, women, the elderly and children were mixed with them!

The situation in the ranks is getting more and more complicated, which the Japanese staff officers do not want to see! First of all, they are running for their lives, not refugee shelters!

And he fears that these refugees are mixed with spies from the Chinese army, which is fatal for a fleeing force.

"What do you think?"

The Japanese staff officers found someone to help him manage the troops, and more and more Japanese refugees mixed into the troops, seriously slowing down their march.

"Abandon them! We have to abandon them, and even if we can take them to our destination, they won't be able to get underground! ”

The Japanese staff officer looked at the person in front of him seriously! To tell the truth, he is just a staff officer, he doesn't have many actual rights, and even after going to the underground fortifications, it is not certain whether he is still qualified to be this staff officer!

The order given to him by the Chief of the General Staff was to gather the troops, and if the Japanese chief of staff was not happy and let them fight the Chinese troops on the periphery, they would not even have a chance to enter the underground fortifications.

"What to do?" The Japanese staff wanted a way, knowing that these people were all their compatriots, so they threw them away, and the matter could not be explained.

"Speed up the march, they can keep up, and if they can't, they will naturally fall, and then we won't have to explain anything!"

How can the marching speed of ordinary people be compared to that of trained soldiers! At first, the refugees who fled were able to keep up with them.

But after an hour, the elderly and children were left behind, and some women had to stop to take care of their families.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in the group, and only young people followed at the back of the group! However, these young people were soon expelled by the little devils for a reason!

The little devils are very cruel to their own people, and some young people want to follow them all the time, but the little devils shoot them directly, and even wound a few people.

I have to say that the little devils are doing the right thing, first of all, according to the analysis of the character of the little devils, they are not good men and women, slaughter is their nature, not only slaughtering foreigners, but also killing their own people!

Secondly, according to the military situation, to prevent spies from infiltrating, the most feared thing is to mix spies among refugees.
