How did Matsuda know the whereabouts of the three dogs?

In fact, it was very simple, the Japanese army in Sanyi Village accelerated the sorting out of troops, and this last question made it clear that a small group of men and horses had gone west.

The captain who was fooled by the three dogs has now been demoted from the position of the team leader, and he told the truth so that Matsuda and the others got the first-hand information.

Then the outpost scouts of the Japanese army's western position also reported upwards that there was a unit in their jurisdiction that went out to carry out secret missions, which also attracted the attention of the Japanese army.

Because they didn't send any men and horses to pursue the Chinese army at all, Matsuda based on these two pieces of information, which fit together, and immediately came to the conclusion that the three dogs were whereabouts.

Without further ado, pursue immediately.

Matsuda took the pass signed by the headquarters, immediately took all the masters, mounted his horse, and chased all the way.

For this matter, Tu Feiyuan also cared, the Chinese army had such a force, so that he was like a fish in his throat like a man's back, and he was so rampant in his old nest in Sanyi Village, almost destroying his headquarters.

If he hadn't realized it early, his old life would have been lost, and if he didn't completely eradicate it this time, he would still have such a situation next time, how could he not get his shoes wet when he stood by the river, and he didn't know if he could have this luck next time.

Therefore, Tu Feiyuan did not hesitate to send a group of guards who fought and assassinated the best in their hands, and also formed a small detachment, bringing sufficient weapons to fight poison with poison and hunt down troops like the Chinese army.

Captain Matsuda's tracking skills are really powerful, although the three dogs did not open anything with light in the dark night, but only relied on the compass to guide them all the way to the west, but they still let Matsuda and them follow up.

However, from Matsuda's point of view, since he knew that Sangou and his troops were going west and backward through two important pieces of information, they naturally tracked them westward.

In order not to miss and not be able to keep up with the three dogs, Matsuda successively divided four or five groups of men and horses, each group of two people and two horses, and searched and advanced towards a distance of four or five hundred meters to the west.

In the plains, the advantages of the horses are quickly revealed, and the distance of four or five hundred meters can echo each other, and they can also be found and converged at any time.

Matsuda has long known on the map that this road to the west is actually easy to search, the south bank of the Yellow River in the north, and the Longhai railway line in the south, which will hardly deviate from the route.

Matsuda barely saw a glimmer of light on the plains of the Central Plains of China, and unless the Chinese army was well acquainted with the terrain, they had to rely on a compass to walk in a straight line in the dark.

In the plains, except for the villages and rivers, it is completely possible to walk in a straight line, and if there are no pursuers and obstacles, you can even go all the way to Kaifeng and Zhengzhou.

Besides, the current field has also been given a road by the baggage troops of the Chinese army before, as long as you follow this road, you will soon reach Luowang Station on the Longhai line.

When you arrive at Luowang Station, a large transit station, you can immediately get on the train, and then you can go along the railway line, all the way to Kaifeng, Zhongmu, Zhengzhou, these cities on the railway line, and rush to your own large army, which is not a problem.

Therefore, with his own analysis, Matsuda also walked in a straight line towards Luowang Station, and according to the time that the Chinese army had passed two points before, he could deduce their walking speed and which point it should appear at now.

According to the speed of his horse search, where will he catch up with the Chinese army on foot, this analysis, for a personal guard, has such an ability, which is very good.

It seems that Matsuda is not only a brave man with strong martial arts, but also a brave and resourceful talent, and his analysis is almost completely in line with Sangou's plan.

Sangou also thought about going all the way west at first, but considering that relying on their tired soldiers to walk on two legs, they couldn't catch up with the retreat speed of the large army at all, and they couldn't get rid of the mechanized pursuit of the devils during the day.

Now you can only go to the nearest railway station, and only when you get to the railway station can you have the opportunity to find a large force and retreat by train, and it is possible to retreat by car while resting and getting rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army.

Looking at the way along the way, the Chinese army must have retreated, and there was not even a shelter to receive it, which shows that the retreat was so clean and fast.

It is estimated that it was detoured and outflanked by other units of the Japanese army, and if you want to catch a ride on the retreat of the large army on the way, it will not work.

At present, the closest to here is the Luowang Station of the logistics supply station of this battle, and the Luowang Station is not due west, but south of the west and belongs to the southwest.

Fortunately, the baggage troops walked back and forth busily, and walked out of a new road here, as long as they walked along this road in the southwest direction, walked for two hours, and arrived at Luowang Station before the arrival of daylight tomorrow.

The straight-line distance on the map from here to Luowang Station is about ten kilometers, and according to the speed of the small troops marching at night, it should be no problem to reach the destination in two hours (four hours).

Now there is a problem, Sangou has been anxious, to the point that it is not the pursuit force of the Japanese army, he has not yet had this prophet to know that the devil will value them twenty or so, and send men and horses to pursue them.

Sangou was anxious about the situation at Luowang Station, so many troops attacking Sanyi Village this time must have been under some major threat if they withdrew so cleanly overnight.

It is very likely that this threat will come from the detour of the enemy's large corps, and then they will have to give up the big fat of Sanyi Village, which is already within reach, and turn to the big retreat.

Yang Yidan did not find that the Japanese army landed and attacked from the Yellow River, so only the Japanese army on the Shangqiu side probably broke through the Chinese army's blocking line.

Another is that the Japanese army may have crossed the Yellow River from Kaifeng, captured Kaifeng, and copied the back road of the Chinese Army's Eastern Henan Corps.

But this speculation is not very realistic, the Japanese troops on the north side of the Yellow River, the majority of the troops are concentrated in the Yellow River section of Lanfeng, and they are in a hurry to save the 14th Division of Sanyi Village.

Even if they want to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, they will not go to the Yellow River, which is heavily defended by the Chinese army, to make trouble, that is, to open up a second battlefield, and Sanyi Village is already very dangerous, and the first priority of the Japanese army is to rescue, not to open up a new battlefield.

It seems that something happened to Shangqiu's side, because there were already heavy Japanese troops there, and the hundreds of thousands of troops who besieged Xuzhou before, sending one or two divisions at random would be enough for Shangqiu's Eighth Army to eat a pot.

As long as the Japanese army knocked down Shangqiu, along the Longhai line, they could use trains to transport troops to Lanfeng or even Luowang Station, which was a problem that Sangou was anxious about.

If they had walked for most of the night, and when they arrived at Luowang Station, they found that this side had been occupied by the Japanese army, wouldn't they have just come out of the wolf's den, and they would be like a tiger's den, and they would still be tired, and it would be too late to escape.

But despite this, Sangou still has to make a bet, that is, to bet that the Japanese army did not take Shangqiu so quickly, even if Shangqiu was laid, there were also Chinese troops on the Longhai line from Shangqiu to Lanfeng, and it was not so easy for the Japanese army to move forward smoothly by train.
