"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, has just received news from the Army Air Force that their reconnaissance plane has discovered that Li Yunlong's troops have left Motian Ridge and begun to move south."

When Higuchi Kiichiro heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Is the news confirmed?"

The Japanese officer replied with certainty: "It's absolutely true!"

Higuchi Kiichiro nodded slightly and said: "Li Yunlong is extremely cunning. It seems that he must have guessed that our next step may be to attack Xiantang Mountain, so they rushed back."

At this time, a Japanese commander said: "Your Excellency, division commander, can we set a trap and wait for them to fall into the trap?"

Higuchi Kiichiro nodded slightly and said: "If we arrange it properly, it is not impossible."

"But we have to make sure of two things. First, we must choose to set up an ambush on a path where the enemy must pass. Second, we need to continue to advance towards Xiantang Mountain. Only if they pose a certain threat to Xiantang Mountain will they continue to move south.

.”

"Li Yunlong is an extremely cunning guy. It's not that simple to lure him into taking the bait."

The Japanese colonel said: "What your Excellency the division commander said is absolutely true. Based on the current situation and inferring from their positions, it is not difficult to deduce their approximate route back to Xiantang Mountain."

A group of Japs officers came to a huge map together, and surrounding the map, these Japs began to discuss.

At this time, a Japanese officer came over and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the troops heading south along the Tailu Highway have been blocked by the enemy again!"

Higuchi Kiichiro frowned and asked, "Is it the main force of the enemy's army?"

The Japanese officer shook his head and said: "We can't judge yet. The enemy has laid a large number of mines on the highway and destroyed some important road sections."

Higuchi Kiichiro said angrily: "So, the enemy's main force has not yet been found to block the imperial army. If this is the case, then just clear the obstacles as soon as possible. Do you want me to teach them even this little thing?"

The Japanese officer quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Division Commander, please calm down. The main reason is that this will seriously affect the marching speed of the Imperial Army. I hope that you, the Division Commander, will atone for your sins."

"Okay, I get it!"

Higuchi Kiichiro waved his hands in annoyance and said: "In this case, the enemy is also on guard, so it will not be so easy for us to raid Sentang Mountain."

A Japanese officer quickly said: "This opportunity is rare, and we cannot let go of such a good opportunity no matter what."

Higuchi Kiichiro pondered for a moment and then said: "Continue to closely monitor the news of Li Yunlong's department. We cannot just rely on the news from the reconnaissance plane."

"Didn't we send out scouts? Let them find the location of Li Yunlong's troops as soon as possible."

"As long as we can always grasp their position, the initiative will always be in our hands."

"Hai!" a Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully.

Higuchi Kiichiro continued: "In addition, we need to speed up the push southward. If the speed is too slow, it will also affect our overall plan."

"Request Army Aviation to bomb Xiantang Mountain, Licheng, Xiangyuan and other places."

At this time, the Japanese colonel said excitedly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise. If we bomb Li Yunlong's lair, this guy will be anxious."

"They will definitely try their best to come back for reinforcements."

Higuchi Kiichiro said with a proud smile: "Huh! This bastard has repeatedly brought shame to the imperial army, and this time he has caused us to lose our troops and lose our face."

"If I don't cut this bastard into pieces, it's hard to understand the hatred in my heart. I must kill this bastard no matter what this time."

"Hai!" the Japanese officers present responded in unison.

Higuchi Kiichiro finally understood that if he wanted to kill Li Yunlong, he must first keep track of Li Yunlong's movements.

But this old devil also ignored another point, that is, they are now in the Eighth Route Base.

Their every move cannot escape the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, so if they want to ambush the Eighth Route Army, it is basically impossible to succeed.

Moreover, their every move was quickly sent to Li Yunlong's headquarters via telegrams from their superiors.

Li Yunlong carefully summarized the information sent by his superiors, and marked the current situation of the enemy and ourselves against the map.

Li Yunlong stared at the map and studied it for a while, and then said: "Old Xing, what do you think of the current situation?"

Xing Zhiguo thought for a while and then said: "I think the Japs will continue to attack Xiantang Mountain. This is our base, and their main target this time is us."

Li Yunlong nodded slightly and said: "The Japanese attack on Xiantang Mountain is actually secondary, and its main purpose is not here."

"It's to lure us back to rescue them quickly and force our main force to fight them in a decisive battle."

"This is also the main reason why I asked my superiors, Ding Wei and others, to help defend Xiantang Mountain."

"We can't let the little devils lead us by the nose, we have to take the initiative."

"If the little devil takes the initiative, it will be even harder for us to win."

Xing Zhiguo frowned and asked, "Then what should we do next?"

"According to what you say, the kid is probably digging a trap for us, waiting for us to jump into it!"

Li Yunlong sneered and said: "The little devils have little skills, but if they want to plot against me, they are still young."

"As long as we consider the problem from the Japs' perspective, it will not be difficult to guess the Japs' intentions and where they will set up an ambush."

"The arrangements we made on the Tailu Highway were able to delay them for two or three days."

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "There should be no problem with this, because the brigade commander has already sent some troops to support us."

Li Yunlong said: "So we don't have to rush back."

"The little devils must think that we will rush back to Xiantang Mountain, so they will definitely set up an ambush on our only way, waiting for us to infiltrate inside."

"As long as you know this, isn't it difficult to avoid them?"

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "If that's what you say, it's not difficult."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "If we don't return to Xiantang Mountain, they want to force us to return to Xiantang Mountain to aid. We also want to force them to stop attacking Xiantang Mountain."

"Do you know how Sun Bin defeated Pang Juan?"

Xing Zhiguo couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said: "Surround Wei and save Zhao. If you attack the enemy, you must save him!"

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "You are a good boy!"

Xing Zhiguo said angrily: "Fuck you, you have only been studying for a few days and you are still showing off in front of me?"

Li Yunlong said angrily: "Hey! You are so arrogant! Are you better than me? Why didn't I see it?"

"If Zhao Gang said this, I wouldn't say anything. Zhao Gang is a college student, and a top student at Yan University. Naturally, his knowledge is beyond the comparison of a rough guy like us."
