The Milky Way is Also a Grain of Sand

Chapter 567 Pursuit

Gongze Taro, the regiment commander still at the Zengcheng headquarters, could hardly believe the news that the outer defense line had been completely breached.

The three-dimensional defense fortifications that had taken him more than ten days to complete, and the two infantry battalions stationed outside the city, had only held out for two hours.

This is impossible! This can't be true!

It wasn't an excessive request. The infantrymen in front were deliberately blocking the road, intending to prevent the vehicles behind from escaping first.

At this moment, hearing gunshots from behind, some Japanese soldiers turned around, wanting to give the soldier who fired the warning shot a piece of their mind.

When they realized that the one who had fired was a lieutenant colonel, the Japanese soldiers reluctantly moved aside, while many infantrymen climbed onto the vehicles.

These Japanese soldiers who got into the vehicles also began to shout loudly, telling the Japanese soldiers blocking the road in front to make way.

The Japanese soldiers who were willing to listen could make way, but even if the mules and horses further ahead wanted to, they couldn't move now.

Hearing the gunshots behind him getting closer and closer, Regiment Commander Sakurai Hiro was anxious, afraid of being overtaken.

He shouted loudly, "Release the mules and horses! Leave the infantry guns by the side of the road!

Let us pass first!"

The Japanese soldiers in front dared not disobey his orders. Those Type 92 infantry guns were under his direct command.

Company Commander Shi Junxia led his team chasing the Japanese soldiers all the way, and in the center of the city, he saw the Japanese artillery position.

The position was full of stacked shells and more than a dozen cannons.

Company Commander Han Xi looked at these cannons, his face beaming, and said, "More cannons captured!"

He felt that the Special Operations Brigade's team was too lucky. They had captured so many cannons a few days ago, and now they were seeing cannons again.

Company Commander Shi said very seriously, "As long as you defeat a Japanese division-level team, you will definitely capture cannons. Defeating a Japanese regiment-level team and being able to capture cannons can only depend on luck.

This time our luck is good, the Japanese actually deployed an artillery regiment in Zengcheng.

Looking at them now, they want to escape, but didn't have time." Company Commander Shi sent a squad to guard the cannons, and led the company to continue chasing below.

The soldiers of the Second and Fifteenth Regiments of the Special Operations Brigade chased the fleeing Japanese soldiers from all directions.

Regiment Commander Gongze Taro, who was the first to escape from Zengcheng, was originally preparing to continue commanding the entire regiment to retreat in an orderly manner outside the city.

Before his headquarters outside the city could be set up, he had already seen retreating soldiers.

After a little inquiry, it turned out that Battalion Commander Shiraishi Kaito had ordered the retreat. Now that was good, there was no need to give them orders, they had already retreated on their own.

There was no need to command anymore, everyone should just run quickly!

Jing Chengxuan led his team straight from the northeast towards the south of the city. His company rushed along the alleys to the south gate of Zengcheng, set up heavy machine guns, and buried directional mines.

Now the Japanese soldiers who were blocked could no longer escape.
