The Japanese chief of staff shouted in response: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, there is a delay in transmitting military orders due to radio communication problems, but the 36th Regiment has been driving towards Yizigu without stopping!"

With a livid face, Captain Ito said angrily: "Bagaya Road! They are all a bunch of trash, and the cooperation of the various units is a mess! Now, the pursuit fails, and instead we are bitten by the China Army!"

After a slight hesitation, the Japanese chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, brigade commander! If your guess is correct, the Chinese army that ambushed the Matian regiment should not have gone far yet. If we deploy troops at this time to contain this Chinese army

, we will definitely be able to completely annihilate this Chinese army!"

His eyes suddenly lit up, and Captain Ito shouted: "Yoshi! The chief of staff is right, we must not let this China army slip away so easily!"

After a pause, Commander Ito raised his voice and shouted: "Signal Corps!"

A Japanese communications soldier shouted in response: "Hai!"

The commander of Ito Brigade groaned and shouted: "Order, the 13th Regiment and the 14th Regiment immediately move to Yizi Valley and cooperate with the 36th Regiment to encircle and annihilate the Chinese Army!"

Heading towards Ito's brigade, the Japanese communications soldier responded: "Hai!"

Commander Ito Brigade shouted again: "In addition, request the Air Force to send a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance in the Yizi Valley area and closely monitor the movements of the China Army!"

The Japanese communications soldier shouted in response: "Hai!"

…

Deep in the Dabie Mountains, the temporary station of the Second Army.

At this time, Commander-in-Chief Sun was studying the combat sandbox in a thatched hut!

The victory at Yizigu greatly boosted the morale of the Second Army.

In this battle, the 31st Division defeated a Japanese regiment, which was really satisfying.

However, according to intelligence, multiple Japanese troops are encircling Yizigu.

Now the 31st Division is about to face a heavy encirclement and annihilation by the Japanese!

Now, Commander-in-Chief Sun is very worried about whether the 31st Division can break out of the Japanese encirclement.

You must know that the 31st Division is the mainstay of the entire Second Army. It not only defeated the Isotani Division's attack in Taierzhuang, but also gave the Japanese a counterattack when they retreated.

Such troops cannot be eaten by the Japanese under any circumstances!

After pondering for a moment, Commander-in-Chief Sun called out: "Chief of Staff, where is the 31st Division in Chifengcheng now?"

The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Report to the chief! Commander Chi just sent a telegram that the 31st Division is marching to the Lingyungang area!"

With a frown, Commander-in-Chief Sun called out: "Where is Lingyungang?"

A small blue flag was placed on the combat sand table, and a combat staff officer shouted: "The chief! Here!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun asked in a deep voice: "That's not right! A hundred miles around Lingyungang is an uninhabited primeval forest with miasma everywhere and wild beasts infested. It is a place of death! What did Lao Chi think?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Chief Commander, Sun Tzu said that you must put yourself in a place of death before you survive. Although Lingyungang is a place of death, the 31st Division can avoid the Japs' pursuit in this area!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "How can we see it?"

The chief of staff continued to shout: "You see, the natural geographical environment of Lingyungang is extremely harsh, which is very dangerous for the 31st Division, but it also has to be cautious for the little Japs! In this way, the Japs' pursuit will be difficult

If we can't let go, the 31st Division will have a great chance to gain vitality!"

His eyes lit up, Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "This Lao Chi has a very flexible mind. He marches dangerously and lives toward death! That's okay!"

The chief of staff shouted: "General! If the 31st Division retreats from Lingyungang, it can directly enter the Dabie Mountains. In this case, the 7th Independent Brigade of Xitang Town should also retreat!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "The Seventh Independent Brigade fought well, but its muscles and bones are also broken. It's time to withdraw and take a good rest!"

After a pause, Commander-in-Chief Sun raised his voice and shouted: "Communication Corps! Send a telegram to the 7th Independent Brigade and order the 7th Independent Brigade to withdraw from Xitang Town immediately, but before retreating, the people must be safely transferred."

The signal soldier shouted in response: "Yes!"

…

One word valley.

After hurrying and delaying, the Japanese from the 36th Regiment finally arrived here.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the valley, Captain Aoki was immediately dumbfounded!

As far as the eye could see, the entire Yizi Valley was filled with naked corpses.

Every corpse has a diaper. Yes, these corpses are from the 96th Wing!

The Chinese army was so abominable that they used such cruel methods to deal with the corpses of fallen soldiers of the empire.

This is giving Captain Aoki a chance to show off!

His back molars were gritting loudly, and Captain Aoki shouted repeatedly: "The Chinese Army is simply a bunch of beasts! They are violating the spirit of the Empire's Bushido!"

The Japanese captain on the side shouted: "Your Excellency, commander, what should we do with these corpses?"

Captain Aoki shouted: "Dig a big pit and put them there. When the empire's western expedition is completed, we will bring them back to Japan!"

The Japanese captain shouted in response: "Hai!"

At this time, a Japanese sergeant who went out for reconnaissance came back!

After giving a military salute to Captain Aoki, the Japanese Army Cao shouted: "Report to your Excellency, Captain! Footprints of the Chinese Army were found in the direction of Lingyungang!"

Raising his eyebrows, Captain Aoki shouted: "Lingyungang? Can you see clearly? Could it be Orion's footprints!"

The Japanese Army Cao shouted: "It's absolutely true, the footprints are all from cloth shoes. I checked them carefully, and they match the footprints of Yizigu very well!"

The Japanese chief of staff on the side shouted: "So, the Chinese army retreated towards Lingyungang? This is incredible!"

Captain Qingmu shouted: "As far as I know, the natural environment of Lingyungang is very complex. It would be too bold for the Chinese Army to withdraw from this area!"

The Japanese chief of staff shouted: "The commander of the China Army knows very well that if he does not go to Lingyungang, he will encounter our 36th Regiment and then be surrounded by us!"

With a flash of fierceness on his face, Captain Qingmu shouted: "Since the Chinese army is going to Lingyungang, then we should also go to Lingyungang!"

The Japanese chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, captain! Isn't this too risky?"

Looking at the chief of staff, Captain Aoki shouted: "Adventure? What my 36th Regiment likes most is adventure. How can a small Lingyungang stop us?"

The Japanese chief of staff shouted in response: "Hai! Your Excellency, the commander of the alliance, is so wise and powerful! We will definitely be able to defeat this Chinese army at Lingyungang!"

Captain Aoki raised his voice and shouted: "Now I order! All the brigade will immediately pursue Lingyungang!"

Several captains responded in unison: "Hai!"

At this time, a Japanese communications soldier ran over!

Giving a military salute to Captain Aoki, the Japanese communications soldier shouted: "Your Excellency, Captain, the 13th Regiment and the 14th Regiment have arrived at Lihua Village. They asked you which direction the Chinese Army is in?"

Captain Aoki shouted: "Tell them to march towards Xitang Town, there is a Chinese army there!"

The Japanese communications soldier shouted in response: "Hai!"

The chief of staff on the side shouted in surprise: "Your Excellency, Captain, it's such a pity that this piece of fat in Xitang Town has been handed over to others like this!"

With a noncommittal look on his face, Captain Aoki shouted:

"Compared with the honor of my 36th Regiment, what is a small town like Xitang? We are going to eat this Chinese army alone!"
Chapter completed!
