Kong Jie said thoughtfully: "It is impossible to completely defeat these little devils. The most we can do is drag them down."

"Little devils are also human beings, and they will also get tired. Over time, it will naturally seriously affect their combat effectiveness."

"Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Japs are dispatched, and the logistical supplies required every day are also quite large. There are hundreds of thousands of Japs fighting on the front lines."

"This is just what I saw. There are more people behind the Japanese who are serving these Japanese to ensure their logistical supplies."

"They are working overtime. If the devils are not tired, they will be tired."

"So if we drag it on, it won't take long before they can be brought down."

Ding Wei said: "But judging from the current battle situation, the little devils are preparing to make a quick decision and eliminate the main force of our army in the central and southeastern areas of Hebei as soon as possible, and then proceed to the next step of the operation."

"So the little devil will try his best to end this battle as soon as possible."

"Then let's see who is smarter."

"However, the enemy has sent out too many troops. They will definitely form a big net and prepare to catch us all, so this battle will not be easy to fight."

"Fortunately, the division commander is in charge. With his experience and commanding ability, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Your analysis makes sense."

"Let's not talk about this for now. In this way, it is estimated that Li Yunlong's side will be able to calm down for two days, and the little devil will definitely calm down."

"We should also take advantage of this opportunity to take a good rest so that the soldiers can regain their strength as soon as possible."

Ding Wei nodded and said, "This is the only thing we can do now."

…

For two consecutive days, the troops of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were resting and recuperating, and basically no new actions were taken.

The Ueno Division was also very honest, and they were all hiding in Xingtai City.

Inside the headquarters, Li Yunlong frowned and said, "I didn't expect these guys to actually act like cowards."

"Hmph~!"

Xing Zhiguo said: "I guess the Ueno Division was also afraid of being beaten, so they simply didn't take the initiative to attack."

"Hide in Xingtai City and wait for the opportunity."

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, if we don't create opportunities for the little devils, they will definitely not come out of their nests."

"We can't go on like this, because the main force has been having a hard time over the past two days."

"I estimate that if things continue like this, the troops will eventually give up on the central and southeastern areas of Hebei and retreat westward."

Xing Zhiguo said: "Old Li, to be honest, I am not very optimistic about this anti-mopping up."

"The Japs have too many troops. It will be difficult for us to defeat them. If we fight head-on, we will play into the Japs' hands."

"So it is difficult for us to bring them down, and our strategic space is limited. I think the main force will not be able to hold on for long, and will eventually have to retreat."

"However, we can take the opportunity to introduce the Japs into the Taihang Mountains and use the terrain advantages to find a way to defeat the Japs' sweep. This is the best way to win."

Li Yunlong nodded slightly and said: "Your idea is not bad, but in this case, our efforts during this period will be in vain."

"The reason why the superiors dispatched so many troops this time is to win this battle, so they should not give up easily."

Xing Zhiguo sighed helplessly and said, "If that's the case, let's take a look!"

Li Yunlong said: "The Ueno Division can wait, but we cannot continue to waste our time like this."

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

Li Yunlong said: "If we don't make some movement, then if the Ueno Division continues to be a coward, shall we keep waiting?"

Xing Zhiguo frowned. Li Yunlong was right. Even if they can afford it now, the main force may not be able to afford it.

Li Yunlong lit a cigarette, stared at the map and muttered to himself: "It seems this is the only way to do it now."

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

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "Attack eastward, take the enemy by surprise, and hit the flanks of the Guangtian Division."

Xing Zhiguo said: "You mean to march to the northeast and threaten the flanks of the Guangtian Division."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, only in this way can the Japanese be mobilized again."

"And our attack on Guangtian Division can also reduce the pressure on the main force in Jizhong District."

"The most important thing is that this can further mobilize the Ueno division."

"Otherwise, if they always lie down in Xingtai and don't move, will we keep fighting with them?"

"They dare to spend so much money, and we can't waste time with them."

Xing Zhiguo asked: "I roughly understand your intention, but what about Guanzhuang?"

"Once we retreat, they can reopen the supply line."

"Then the Ueno Division will receive a steady stream of supplies. This..."

Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "Actually, destroying their supplies does not necessarily require a complete blockade of the railway line."

"For example, we can attack their transport trains and maybe make a lot of money."

When Xing Zhiguo heard this, he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "I understand, you are trying to trick the little devil again."

"Hehe~!"

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "How can we win this battle if we don't cheat on them?"

Xing Zhiguo then asked: "Then what exactly do you plan to do?"

Li Yunlong explained: "I'll leave this matter to you."

"I?"

Xing Zhiguo looked surprised and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Who are you kidding?"

Li Yunlong explained: "Next, I will send troops to attack in the northeast direction and attack the sides and rear of Guangtian Division."

"Now the Guangtian Division has formed a large net, trying to surround all the troops in the Jizhong Military Region."

"Their strategy is not bad, but as a result, their troops are relatively scattered."

"If we suddenly kill and launch an attack at this time, I can't guarantee anything else. At least we can kill one of the little devils. It won't be difficult."

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said: "I understand all this, but what next? I mean, what should we do with the Ueno Division?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Leave some of our troops behind and continue to show off and bluff here to make it look like we have not retreated."
