30 kilometers away from Yixiantian.

The Japs of the Isoya Division are moving forward.

Riding a large Japanese horse, the commander of the Isoya Division silently watched the soldiers under his command.

In the battle of Taierzhuang, the commander of the Isoya Division did not expect that he would become the losing side.

This was difficult to accept for the commander of the Isotani Division, who had been invincible on the Chinese battlefield.

However, the Chinese Army is currently surrounded by heavy troops and the Tenth Division cannot continue to fight.

If the fight continues, the ace division under Commander Isotani is likely to be erased from the Imperial Army's establishment list.

There is a saying that as long as the green hills remain, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood.

The top priority is that the commander of the Isotani Division must do his best to preserve the vitality of the division and wait for the opportunity to restore the glory of the 10th Division.

While he was hesitating, a cavalry messenger came suddenly.

Fish fish fish~

The war horse neighed, and the messenger rode the horse's head vigorously and said: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division! The Akiyama Regiment responsible for the rearguard blocking mission has been completely wiped out!"

With a look in his eyes, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Nani? The Akiyama Regiment has been destroyed?"

Passing a katana to the commander of the Isotani division, the orderly soldier shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, this is the katana that Captain Akiyama asked me to give to you!"

Taking the blood-stained katana, the commander of the Isotani division asked in a deep voice: "How did Captain Akiyama die?"

The Japanese messenger shouted in response: "The Chinese army stormed the blocking position with three times the strength of the Akiyama Regiment. Although the captain of the Akiyama Regiment was brave and invincible in the battle, he was eventually outnumbered and was stabbed to death by the bayonets of the Chinese army!"

Taking off the military cap on his head, the commander of the Isoya Division solemnly shouted: "Akiyama-kun is great, he is the benchmark of the 10th Division and the glory of the Imperial Army!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another cavalry messenger galloped over.

The messenger raised his voice and shouted: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the vanguard has moved to a position 10 kilometers away from the first line of sky. In view of the complex terrain, there may be an ambush. Captain Akada asked you if you should stop advancing and take other roads.

Head towards Yixian County!"

After pondering for a moment, the commander of the Isoya Division called out: "One Line of Sky? Chief of Staff, do you think the China Army might set up an ambush in this area?"

After thinking for a while, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, according to the air force reconnaissance report sent by the front army headquarters, there are signs of China Army moving towards this area. In order to avoid being ambushed, we should be careful!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Well, the China Army is going crazy, we have to be more vigilant! In this case, Chief of Staff, do you mean that we have to take a long detour and return to Yixian County?"

Nodding slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "Yes, we'd better take a long way around Bafang Town. The terrain there is open and easy to attack but difficult to defend!"

The commander of the Isoya Division shouted: "Yo Xi! Send the order to the soldiers, immediately adjust the direction of march and advance towards Bafang Town!"

At this time, the chief of staff continued to shout: "Your Excellency, division commander, please wait a moment!"

The commander of the Isoya Division asked in surprise: "What's wrong, Chief of Staff? Do you have anything to add to the tactics?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, in order to ensure that the troops can march safely, we finally made the illusion of marching towards the sky!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "You mean..."

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I suggest that while the entire division is moving towards Bafang Town, we must send a force to feign attack on the front line. If there is a Chinese army on the front line, then this force can just

Divert the attention of the Chinese army!"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "The virtual is the real, the real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, the virtual and the real are complementary. It seems that Chief of Staff China has studied Sun Tzu's art of war very thoroughly! Okay, I will do as you say!"

…

A Thin Line of Sky is the only place where the Jigu Division must pass on its way to Yixian County.

After receiving the order from the commander of the Tang Army of the 20th Army, the Fourth Iron Regiment quickly set up blocking positions in this area.

Standing on a large rock, Zuo You of the Fourth Iron Regiment was observing the position with a telescope.

The first battalion commander ran towards the left regimental commander.

After saluting the commander of the left regiment, a battalion commander shouted: "Report to the regiment! The blocking position has been arranged!"

Nodding, Captain Zuo shouted: "Well! Tell the brothers that they must control the commanding heights and not let the little devils rush up!"

The first battalion commander shouted: "Regiment! Don't worry! I have placed a platoon on both Highland 1 and Highland 2. They are absolutely as stable as Mount Tai!"

The commander of the left regiment called to the signal soldier again: "Is there any news from the reconnaissance platoon?"

The signal soldier shouted in response: "Report to the regiment! Not yet!"

Commander Zuo warned: "As soon as the reconnaissance platoon has any news, report it to me immediately!"

The signal soldier responded: "Yes!"

But after a while, the communications soldier raised his voice and shouted: "Regiment seat! The reconnaissance platoon is back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man with a beard and several capable soldiers came towards the left regimental commander.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon saluted the commander of the left regiment in unison.

After returning a military salute to the soldiers, Commander Zuo called out: "Platoon Commander Hu, how is the situation?"

Platoon Leader Hu shouted: "Report to the regiment! The Japanese are moving towards our front line, about 12 kilometers away from our Fourth Iron Regiment!"

At that moment, the commander of the Zuo regiment shouted: "It seems that our wait has not been in vain. Signal soldier, please go down and order each platoon to make all combat preparations and prepare to meet the little Japs!"

After agreeing, the communication soldiers quickly went to each battalion to convey military orders!

After receiving the order from Commander Zuo, the soldiers of the Fourth Iron Regiment quickly prepared for the attack.

Time passes by minute by minute.

Soon, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared in Commander Zuo's field of vision.

This team of Japanese soldiers seems to have only one squadron.

Frowning, the chief of staff crouched aside shouted in a low voice: "Team! Why are the number of little Japs wrong?"

With the same frown, Commander Zuo shouted: "Yes! Looking at the Japs' machine guns, there should be only one squadron. Could it be that this is the Japs' reconnaissance force?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Team! The reconnaissance force doesn't need so many people. This should be the vanguard of the little devils! What do you think? Eat them first?"

After pondering for a while, the commander of the Zuo regiment shouted flatly: "Eat! Chief of staff, let's put these little devils in the ambush position of the third battalion, and the other two battalions will continue to be prepared! What do you think?"

Unlike others, the Fourth Iron Regiment's ambush position was set up with three consecutive pockets.

Among them, the pocket array of the third battalion was deployed in the deepest part of the entire sky.

Since the Japs have only one infantry squadron here, the Fourth Iron Regiment only has as much rice as they need and as many pots as they need.

This Japanese squadron is just an appetizer for the Fourth Iron Regiment, so it is enough to use the third battalion.

In addition, the third battalion is also equipped with a mountain artillery battery, so it is more than enough to deal with a Japanese squadron.
