After fighting for so long, paying such a high price, and finally seeing these evil forces run away again, how could Higuchi Kiichiro not be angry?

Higuchi Kiichiro said angrily: "Assemble my troops to pursue them. We can't let them run away like this."

A Japanese officer nearby quickly persuaded: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down. The enemy has been prepared for a long time. Moreover, it is night now. If we pursue rashly and get ambushed by the enemy, I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss."

"I believe that these enemy troops are cunning and cunning, so the imperial army would be better off being more cautious."

"What did you say?"

Higuchi Kiichiro couldn't help but became furious.

The Japanese officer quickly said: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down!"

But at this time, although Higuchi Kiichiro was a little angry, he listened to these words.

Higuchi Kiichiro pondered for a moment and said: "We can't just let it go. We should immediately send troops to strengthen the alert and move forward."

"Clean up all the mines and traps laid by the enemy for me."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.

At this time, the Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down. Even if we let them escape this time, at most we will only let them escape temporarily."

"We continue to move forward and gradually compress their living space. By then they will have no way to escape and will have no choice but to come out obediently and engage in a decisive battle with the imperial army."

Higuchi Kiichiro nodded slightly and said: "This reminds me of the hunting scene in my hometown when I was young. A group of hunters gradually drove the prey out of the mountain forest."

"At the same time, the hunters have already set up traps in advance, and the prey is driven away. In the end, there is no way to escape and they can only fall into the trap obediently."

"What we have to do now is to turn these Tubal into prey, drive them out, and then eliminate them."

"Hai~! Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise."

Sure enough, Ding Wei and the others successfully escaped the Japanese pursuit.

After daybreak, Higuchi Kiichiro learned that the Eighth Route Army had disappeared without a trace and that he could not catch up with him. He angrily cursed: "Baga Yalu, these cunning guys, I will never spare them."

At this time, a Japanese colonel said: "Your Excellency, division commander, those Tubal soldiers have escaped, so there is no one left to stop the imperial army."

"Then we can go all the way south to Xiangyuan, or directly attack the Xiantang Mountain area."

"Now Xiantang Mountain, Xiangyuan City and Licheng have all fallen into the hands of Li Yunlong, and now that Li Yunlong's main force has gone out, there will definitely not be many troops left behind."

"If we directly attack the Xiantang Mountain area and Li Yunlong's home base is threatened, then he will definitely bring troops back for reinforcements."

"At this time, we just need to wait for the work. Maybe we can annihilate the enemy on the way when they return for reinforcements."

Higuchi Kiichiro suddenly became excited when he heard this. He walked to the map, stared at the map, and said with a smile: "Xinxi, if this is true, we can get rid of the scourge of Li Yunlong."

"Our main task this time is to wipe out Tuba Road in Luzhou area and get rid of the scourge Li Yunlong."

"Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we naturally cannot miss it."

"Send the order immediately, and the troops will immediately advance towards Xiantang Mountain."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.

Higuchi Kiichiro then ordered: "Order, use all means to closely monitor the movements of Li Yunlong's troops."

"At least we need to know their approximate location. Things like last time will never be allowed to happen again."

"Hai~!"

A Japanese staff officer responded respectfully: "Please rest assured, Division Commander, I will make arrangements right now to ensure that similar incidents will never happen again."

This so-called similar incident actually refers to the fact that Li Yunlong's troops suddenly ran to Motian Ridge and caught the little Japanese by surprise. As a result, the 19th Regiment was completely wiped out.

If the little devil had detected the movements of Li Yunlong's department in advance, similar incidents would not have happened.

…

At this moment, Li Yunlong had already begun to move south with the main force of the new regiment.

The army shuttled between the high mountains and ridges, marching slowly southward. This time, Li Yunlong was not too anxious.

Standing on a hillside, looking at the troops passing by, Li Yunlong said with a smile: "It seems that the morale of the soldiers is good."

Xing Zhiguo smiled and said: "The battle has been won and the soldiers are happy, so morale will naturally be high."

"There is a Japanese plane~!"

At this time, a soldier suddenly shouted.

Li Yunlong looked up and then raised the telescope. Sure enough, he saw an airplane flying towards here in the distance. Through the telescope, Li Yunlong could naturally see more clearly.

The plaster sprayed on the fuselage of the Japanese plane made Li Yunlong sick just looking at it.

Li Yunlong put down the telescope and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a reconnaissance plane for the Japanese."

"It's okay to keep moving forward and let them know. This time we don't need to deliberately hide like last time. Otherwise, we wouldn't choose to march in broad daylight."

"Since we are marching during the day, we are not afraid of being discovered by the little devils."

Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "Now the little Japs see us as a thorn in their flesh. Higuchi Kiichiro probably wants to eat you alive. What if they send planes to bomb us!"

"Hehe~!"

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "After their reconnaissance planes return, it will take a certain amount of time for the bombers to arrive."

"I don't know where I've been during this time."

"If they want to find us again, it won't be that easy."

"And we split up and took different routes, deliberately lengthening the queue."

"To confuse the little devil."

Xing Zhiguo asked curiously: "What do you want to do again?"

Li Yunlong said casually: "Nothing! Just to make the little devils confused about our reality."

"Let them know that we have gone south to find them, but let them not know where our main force is."

"Hey~! This snake is not scary, but the venomous snake hiding in the grass is the scariest thing."

Xing Zhiguo smiled and said: "So, we have become poisonous snakes again?"

"Hehe~!"

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "I'm just making a random analogy! Besides, there's nothing wrong with being a poisonous snake. As long as it can kill little devils, I'll accept it even if I'm asked to be a bedbug."

At this time, the Japanese plane circled in the sky and then flew away.

The Japanese plane naturally discovered Li Yunlong's team.
