On June 30, the Japanese Marine Corps blew up Qingdao's oil depot, power plant, production plant, tap water plant, etc. and retreated from the sea under the cover of naval guns.

The Young Guards and the Japanese Marine Corps have been confronted for several days, and both sides have suffered losses.

After the Japanese Marine Corps retreated, the young guards entered Qingdao. The first thing Zhou Cexun and Qi Guangxiu did to extinguish the fire.

Thick black smoke rose from the houses and the docks by the sea, and some people who had not had time to withdraw were wailing in pain in the ruins.

As you look beyond the burning flames, you can see the Japanese fleet's distant figure.

The sea and the sky are all clear, which should be a pleasing and beautiful scenery.

But the screams in my ears and the black smoke that went straight up to the sky completely broke the beautiful scenery.

"The dock has been completely destroyed, and we can only rebuild it if we want to use it."

Zhou Cexun looked at the Japanese fleet that was becoming increasingly fading, and said with a squinted eye.

"It is better to destroy what you can't get than stay. This is the usual style of the Japanese invaders. His grandma's, we don't have warships to bully us!"

Qi Guangxiu grabbed the hat in his hand and gritted his teeth.

Zhou Cexun snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.

"The war in North China is coming to an end, and I believe the commander-in-chief has plans and plans in his mind.

The sea is like the sky, and the Japanese cannot always have control.

Wait, maybe in a year we will have the power to gallop on the sea.”

Qingdao area has been occupied by imperialism many times, and the local people have become accustomed to the management and rule of foreigners. The entry of the young guards has not attracted the cheers of the people, and everyone is busy rescuing their family business.

Looking at the somewhat indifferent people, Zhou Cexun raised his eyebrows and asked:

"The Japanese Navy has retreated and Qingdao is under control. Does the Commander-in-Chief have any new orders?"

Qi Guangxiu was born into a business family. He didn't care about the performance of the people in the city. He answered while walking:

"Order us to stay in Qingdao and strive to eliminate the remnants of Japanese invaders in the coastal areas within one month.

Resuming agricultural and commercial activities for people everywhere as soon as possible.”

"Um."

Zhou Cexun nodded, "Let the brothers rest for two days, then the 2nd Division headed south and the 1st Division headed north, and gathered with friendly forces in these two directions."

"Can."

...

Upon hearing that the Japanese army was planning to retreat from Yantai, Xiao Jiang's tank battalion escaped from Qingdao. He first arrived at Weifang by train, and then met with the pursuit troops of the Third Army and continued to pursue east along the road.

People often burst out with endless potential when they are escaping!

The soldiers of the 29th and 48th Divisions of the Japanese Army had almost not rested for two days and two nights, and ran wildly just to arrive in Yantai one minute earlier.

Those with poor physical strength and injured tend to fall behind. These people are often exhausted before the Third Army arrives.

The Goryeo Division stayed in the rear of the 29th Division and the 48th Division to block Wang Laohu's Third Army.

During the entire North China war, Wang Laohu's 3rd Army never performed well. The last battle was also the last chance, and the Third Army showed an indomitable momentum.

The Japanese army was defeated and the morale of the Goryeo Division had been disintegrated.

Yantai is the last chance to retreat. The Koreans will not be foolishly used as cannon fodder for the Japanese. They pretended to fire a few shots and began to retreat with the large army.

The Third Army did not attract decent blocking along the way, so the only enemy of the soldiers was themselves.

The Japanese ran in front, and the third army chased after him, one wanted to keep a distance, and the other wanted to bite the tail.

The chase lasted for two days and two nights. After Dengzhou, the forward of the third army bit the Japanese's butt.

Although the soldiers' physical energy was close to the brink of exhaustion, when they saw the panicked Japanese in front, under the pressure of strong willpower, the potential in their bodies was once again stimulated and rushed forward.

During the pursuit and the breaking of the rear two days ago, the Goryeo Division had lost nearly one-third of its soldiers. Only a small number of these soldiers were captured, and most of them fled into the nearby mountains and forests in panic.

Now the main force's butt has been bitten again, and it is almost impossible to cross the river and go home.

They are just servants and should not die.

After thinking about this, many Koreans threw away their weapons and knelt or lay on the side of the road like dead dogs.

Xiao Jiang's tank battalion followed behind the two reconnaissance battalions. Due to fuel and failure reasons, less than 30 tanks chased Dengzhou firmly.

After two days and two nights of pursuit, the driver in the tank should be the most tired and sleepy.

Xiao Jiang opened the cockpit door, observing the situation outside while giving directions to the driver.

The tank roared past, and the Goryeo soldiers on the road looked at it in fear, and no one dared to raise their heads.

Some drivers accidentally took a nap, and the tanks driving at high speed turned toward the roadside.

Suddenly, the dogs were beaten to the ground, and the surrendered Goryeo soldiers rolled and crawled away.

The Koreans' fleeing in a panic made the tired brothers in the tank laugh.

The funny scenes made the sleepiness disappear a little.

"Hey hey hey... Reconnaissance Battalion, Tank Battalion, can you hear it?"

The third army commander Wang Laohu came from the caller with a hoarse voice.

Xiao Jiang put away his expression of watching the joke and picked up the microphone to answer.

Wang Laohu on the other end of the communicator seemed anxious and angry, and he shouted:

"The main force is 5 kilometers behind you, and Zhong Kui Regiment is also there.

I now order you to take all possible measures at all costs to interfere with the Japanese boarding the ship and give the main force half an hour!"

Xiao Jiang looked at the battle map and took the order loudly.

Wang Laohu threw the microphone into the arms of the correspondent next to him, and then spoke quickly to Liu Dagui:

"Once the Japanese board the boat, it will be meaningless for us to run wildly for the past two days and two nights.

The brothers could only breathe a sigh of relief, and they all gritted their teeth and persevered. The artillery regiment was still in the rear, so they would definitely not be able to count on them.

Now I can only rely on two groups of Zhong Kui in your hands. The Japanese army gathered on the dock. It was the time when Zhong Kui showed his power.

Lao Liu, don’t let me down!”

Liu Dagui licked his chapped lips, as if he was even struggling to speak. He just nodded solemnly.

All the oil from the Third Army was used to supply the reconnaissance battalion, tank battalion and Zhong Kui regiment. Liu Dagui knew the importance of the rocket launcher regiment. He saluted casually and jumped off Wang Laohu's command vehicle and headed straight for the regiment headquarters.

At 8 pm on June 30, Yantai Wharf.

The horses were crowded with people, and there were panic Japanese soldiers everywhere. Most of them were looking into the sea. Only a few of them were too tired and sleepy and were lying on the shore.

“Dududu…”

From time to time, the beeping sounds of warships and merchant cargo ships will be heard on the sea, and searchlights are all gathered at the dock.

The Japanese Army and Navy have always been dissatisfied. This time, the North China Front Army was defeated, and the army was still responsible for the response. The Navy only sent a few cruisers, which was called escort, but in fact it was a joke.

The Japanese Army temporarily requisitioned several civilian merchant ships and cargo ships to serve as the main force for the retreat of the 29th Division and the 48th Division.

Because he was extremely tired, Gong Yuan's face could no longer sweat, only pale.

As a lieutenant general division commander, he naturally has the right to board the ship and retreat first.

However, unlike ordinary soldiers boarding civilian merchant ships and cargo ships, the Lieutenant General Gong Yuan directly boarded the navy's cruiser.

When he boarded the warship, Yuan felt the gaze of the surrounding naval soldiers, laughing or contemptuously. A hint of red appeared on his pale face.

After drinking a bucket of water and eating some more, Gong Yuan's physical strength recovered a little.

He walked onto the bridge of the warship, stood with a major general, and looked at the chaotic and noisy pier from afar.

"The Chinese are chasing us closely behind, and we have not left much time for us. How many people have been removed now?"

The Rear Admiral seemed to have not heard Gong Yuan's words, and he had no meaning of answering.

An army officer next to him couldn't stand it anymore and said, getting closer:

"Two merchant ships have been left, and most of the soldiers of the 48th Division have retreated.

There are more than 10,000 people on the dock, most of which are from the 29th Division.”

Gong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this speed, with 2 to 3 merchant ships approaching the dock, all the warriors on the dock can retreat safely.

“Dududu…”

The merchant ship honked his whistle and steadily connected his huge body to the dock.

The half-dead Japanese soldiers on the dock suddenly had the strength and rushed towards the merchant ship regardless of everything.

The first time was extremely chaotic, and the situation of trampling inevitably occurred.

"snort!"

The Rear Admiral shook his head and hummed softly, his eyes full of contempt.
