"Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise."

The little devil present said quickly.

Hashimoto Gun frowned slightly and said, "Okay, it's time now, so don't flatter me anymore."

"Immediately pass on the order and order all troops to seize this opportunity and withdraw as soon as possible without any mistakes."

"Hai!"

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

Under the personal command of the Hashimoto group, the little Japanese in the encirclement scrambled to escape towards the gap.

However, not all the little devils can escape. Some of the little devils are surrounded and cannot break out at all.

Some other Japs were completely wiped out by the attacking Eighth Route Army because they had to cover the retreat of other Japs.

However, in the end, the Hashimoto group rushed out of the gap with about 5,000 remaining defeated soldiers.

Then continue along the path and begin your retreat.

On the top of a mountain in the distance, Boss Liu observed the situation with a telescope, and then ordered: "Immediately order all the troops to pursue and intercept the little Japanese who broke out according to the original plan."

"Li Yunlong's troops will ambush the Japs in Wujiagou. The remaining troops must arrive at their designated positions in the shortest possible time, and then launch an attack to assist the new regiment in completely wiping out the remaining enemies as soon as possible."

"yes!"

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

Boss Liu smiled and said: "You little devils think they are right, but they don't know that they are seeking death."

"Inform Li Yunlong and the others immediately and let them prepare. No mistakes will be allowed this time."

"yes!"

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

…

At the same time, Gangcun Ningji of Peiping was always paying close attention to the victory or defeat of the battlefield.

Almost every few minutes, a telegram will be sent, reporting the detailed battle situation.

Okamura Neiji stared at the sand table in front of him and said thoughtfully: "Judging from the current situation, it is still very difficult to break through. The enemy is well prepared, and the terrain chosen is also very beneficial to them.

"

Just as they were talking, a Japanese staff officer ran over and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have just received the latest news that Hashimoto Division has opened a breakthrough, and the commander of Hashimoto Division is leading his troops from the breakthrough."

Retreat to the southwest."

"Nani?"

Okamura Neiji asked overjoyed: "Did they really break out?"

"Hai~!"

The Japanese officer pointed to the sand table and said: "They opened a breakthrough from this position, and now the troops are trying their best to break through."

Okamura Neiji couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they opened a breakthrough, they could break out.

Although the losses were heavy, the danger of annihilation of the entire army was at least avoided.

But when he saw the specific situation on the sand table, he couldn't help but frown again.

"That's not right!"

Okamura Neiji frowned and said: "Open the breakthrough here. We have no other choice but to retreat along this path."

"In this way, our marching route is basically public, and the enemy can easily guess our marching route."

"Furthermore, the Wujiagou and this place we pass through are relatively dangerous areas. If the enemy has an ambush, Hashimoto's division will be in danger."

Kasahara Yukio frowned and asked: "You mean, this may be a trap deliberately set by the enemy."

Okamura Neiji waved his hand and said: "This is still uncertain. There is another possibility. The enemy may decide that we will not break out from here, so the defense here is relatively weak. Because this is really not the best place to break out.

choice.”

"Even if we open this breakthrough, we may still be surrounded by enemies along the way."

"So they guessed this and deployed a small number of troops here, which gave us the opportunity to open a breakthrough."

"If this is the case, maybe we can pass through this area quickly and escape the enemy's pursuit and interception."

"If there is another possibility, that is, the enemy deliberately opens a gap to allow us to drill into their pockets, then Hashimoto's division will be in danger."

"Immediately send this situation to the Hashimoto group and let them understand the situation before making a decision."

"Hai!"

Kasahara Yukio responded respectfully, and then went to draft the telegram himself.

Neiji Okamura did not directly issue a death order, but just reminded the Hashimoto group that it might be a trap.

Because Okamura Neiji also knows very well that he is not on the front line, and his understanding of the front line is still very limited.

Moreover, he directly interferes with the command of the frontline commander, which may cause even greater mistakes.

So he just reminded the Hashimoto group that it was up to the Hashimoto group to decide what to do in the end.

Ten minutes later, Kasahara Yukio ran back and said: "Hashimoto's division called back and said that the enemy had launched a full-scale attack on them. Hashimoto-kun concluded that it was not an ambush by the enemy."

"And now they have no other choice but to take the risk."

Okamura Neiji said nothing when he heard this, and continued to stare at the sand table, not knowing what else to think about.

Yukio Kasahara asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you think of the current situation?"

Okamura Neiji shook his head and said: "It's hard to say now. These Tuballu are too cunning. No one can tell whether they have other tricks until the last moment."

"Now we can do nothing but wait for news from them."

"Hai!"

Kasahara Yukio said: "I have notified Hashimoto-kun and asked them to report the situation at any time."

Okamura Neiji took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

…

At the same time, near Wujiagou, a new regiment of elite troops led by Li Yunlong were ready for battle.

The soldiers relied on the terrain to hide themselves.

Looking from a distance, you can't see anything strange at all.

At this moment, it was already evening, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

The defeated remnants of Hashimoto's division gradually approached Wujiagou.

Li Yunlong observed the situation in the distance and said with a smile: "At this point, the little devils have no other choice. Let's just wait for them to surrender."

"No matter what this time, we must kill this Hashimoto division. Not a single little Japanese can be allowed to escape."

Xing Zhiguo, who was next to him, smiled and said, "Don't worry, the troops are ready for battle. Depending on the terrain here, they will definitely not be able to escape."

"And Boss Liu has already commanded troops to surround us from other directions."
