Following Zhang Dabiao's order, the soldiers of the first battalion immediately began to retreat according to the plan.

"Report to Your Excellency, Lieutenant Colonel, that the enemy troops have begun to retreat in an orderly manner."

When Lieutenant Commander Ikeda heard this, he frowned slightly and said with a sneer: "Xinxi, as expected, they still retreated. This shows that their main force has already transported away the spoils."

"But with so much supplies, I guess they won't be able to go far, and the speed won't be too fast."

"The blocking Tubal Road thought they could retreat now, but little did they know that we would not give up easily, because we still have a chance to catch up. Even if we cannot recapture the supplies, we cannot let these materials fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."

"We can't let these hateful Tubal go so easily."

"Immediately send the order, and the troops will pursue with all their strength. I must bite the enemy. It is best to take advantage of this opportunity to completely defeat them."

"Hai!"

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

Following Colonel Ikeda's order, the Japs began to pursue the retreating battalion with all their strength.

Zhang Dabiao looked back at the little devil who was chasing after him, with a sneer on his lips.

Zhang Dabiao shouted: "Brothers, speed up and retreat!"

The soldiers were experienced and retreated very quickly. Each unit alternately covered and retreated while fighting. Although the Japs pursued and fought fiercely, they could not catch up with Zhang Dabiao and the others for a while.

After chasing for about three miles, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly rang out.

I saw tongues of blazing flames suddenly spurting out from the hillsides on both sides of the road.

The dense bullets, like raindrops, quickly enveloped the little devil.

"Puff puff!"

The bullets hit the Japs, making a muffled sound. The little Japs rushing in front fell to pieces in an instant.

"Tick-tick-tick-tock!"

At this time, a loud charge horn sounded.

Li Yunlong stood up first, brandishing a ghost-headed sword in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Brothers, kill me!"

"Kill!"

Immediately, there was a cry of killing, and hundreds of soldiers rushed down from the hillside.

Under the personal leadership of Li Yunlong, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and each one of them was like a tiger descending from the mountain, fiercely pounced on the little Japanese.

At the same time, Zhang Dabiao and the soldiers from the first battalion also took the opportunity to kill a carbine, and they all turned around and ran towards the little Japanese.

Li Yunlong was extremely brave and took the lead, taking the lead into the enemy group.

Li Yunlong was seen wielding the ghost-headed sword, slashing left and right. In the blink of an eye, several little devils fell under Li Yunlong's sword.

The little Japs who were suddenly ambushed were already in a bit of confusion. At this time, eight forces attacked from two sides and swarmed up. The Little Japs didn't know what was going on and were immediately beaten back.

Under the ferocious charge of the soldiers, the little Japanese was quickly defeated and fled backwards in embarrassment.

Li Yunlong led the soldiers to pursue him all the way. The corpses of the little Japanese who were directly killed were strewn across the field, and their blood flowed into rivers.

The brave soldiers stepped on the corpses of the Japanese and continued to pursue them.

However, when they reached the vicinity of Meigou, Li Yunlong ordered his troops to stop the pursuit and then retreat quickly.

They didn't even have time to take away the weapons and ammunition discarded by the Japanese on the ground.

The little Japanese retreated to Meigou and finally stabilized their position.

Standing on the top of a mountain, Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda witnessed this scene with his own eyes and cursed angrily: "Baga Yalu, what do you idiots do for a living? You were defeated by a group of Tubal soldiers."

"It is really unreasonable to lose so many troops in vain."

"Organize troops immediately and continue the pursuit!"

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer next to him responded quickly and then passed on the order.

After a while, two Japanese officers came to Lieutenant Commander Ikeda.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy ambush suddenly broke out, and the imperial army was caught off guard, and was defeated."

Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda said angrily: "They only have more than a thousand people. The two groups combined only have more than a thousand people. What are you afraid of?"

"The Imperial Army has lost all of its face by you idiots."

"Hai!"

The two of them responded respectfully and did not dare to defend themselves.

After a while, one of the Japanese Majors said: "Your Excellency, Captain, we found a person in the battle just now."

"Who?" Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda asked.

The Japanese major replied: "It's Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"Li Yunlong?"

Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda asked quickly: "Are you sure it is Li Yunlong himself?"

The Japanese major replied affirmatively: "Sure, that guy personally led the charge. Many of our imperial warriors have seen him with our own eyes."

"It's basically consistent with the portrait of Li Yunlong we saw before."

"And some people also heard someone calling the leader, so it is basically certain that that person is Li Yunlong."

Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda nodded and said, "So, it is really possible that it is this Li Yunlong."

"Chase me immediately, and you must find a way to kill this Li Yunlong for me."

The Japanese officer asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, Captain, if we continue to chase, what if we encounter an enemy ambush again?"

"Besides, we are now..."

"Shut up!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda said angrily: "I just received an order from the division commander. He has transferred two thousand troops from other units to supplement our regiment. They are currently on their way. They will arrive soon."

The 35th Regiment was hit by Li Yunlong one after another and suffered heavy losses.

In order to supplement their strength, Higuchi Kiichiro transferred 2,000 soldiers from other logistics units to the 35th Regiment.

Some of them were drawn from the supplementary troops, and the other part were drawn from the engineering regiment and the baggage regiment.

There was no way, their combat troops were suffering too many casualties now, so he could only draw troops from the logistics troops to supplement them.

At the same time, the old Japanese had already sent a telegram to Neji Okamura for help and asked for troops to be sent to support them.

Closer to home, in order to regain supplies and take the opportunity to defeat Li Yunlong's troops, Higuchi Kiichiro mobilized these two thousand people to quickly support the 35th Regiment.

And with Lieutenant Commander Ikeda having this support force, he would naturally be more confident.

Knowing that Li Yunlong's troops at the rear were only over a thousand men, he prepared to continue the pursuit, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Li Yunlong.

Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda said with a serious face: "No matter what, we cannot let them escape this time, otherwise, we will not be able to explain to the division commander."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

Lieutenant Colonel Ikeda glanced in the distance, in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's retreat, and his face became even more angry.

"Continue to pursue, and report the situation to the division commander truthfully."
