The Japanese officer quickly said: "Hai, your Excellency, Commander, is wise. These thugs have always been cunning."

"They have no way to escape now and can only flee eastward."

Okamura Ningji nodded and said: "This is also a method commonly used by Tubal Road."

"Bagaya Deer! I was negligent and almost forgot this."

"They must be stopped and they must not be allowed to cross the Pinghan-Hankou Railway Line."

At this time, a Japanese officer said: "Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, our troops along the railway are currently limited in strength. At best, we can only barely protect ourselves. If a large enemy force comes to attack, I'm afraid..."

Okamura Neiji couldn't help but scolded: "A bunch of trash, what use are you?"

The Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy will definitely concentrate their forces to break through. As long as they open a gap, they can break out. This should be easy. Such a long railway line is indeed difficult to defend. This is also true.

, so please forgive me, Commander."

Okamura Neiji was no longer in the mood to be angry with them, and quickly ordered: "First, immediately send someone to closely monitor the enemy's movements, and be sure to find out the enemy's location and their next move."

"The second order is to order all troops along the railway to strengthen their alert and make every effort to prevent enemy troops from crossing the railway line."

"Hai~!"

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

Okamura Neiji couldn't help but sigh and said: "Li Yunlong is a cunning guy, and his unit is also the most elite unit of the Eighth Route Army. It poses a great threat to us."

"If we don't get rid of them, the whole of North China will never have peace."

At this time, a Japanese soldier, Zuo, said: "Your Excellency, Commander, as long as the Gaocheng Division can arrive in time, they will definitely not be able to cross the Ping-Han Railway."

Okamura Neiji said helplessly: "I'm afraid now I can only place all my hopes on the Gaocheng Division. I hope they can catch up with these hateful Tubal Road as soon as possible."

At this time, a Japanese officer suddenly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, if the Gaocheng Division fails to catch up with the enemy and the enemy successfully crosses the railway line, and if they flee all the way east, what should we do next?"

Woolen cloth?"

"Should we let the Gaocheng Division continue the pursuit?"

Okamura Neiji frowned and said: "If it really comes to that point, it will be troublesome."

Now Neiji Okamura is also in a dilemma, but now that the time has come, he must have prepared for the worst in advance.

What should you do if this happens?

Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment, and then said: "Maybe we shouldn't have launched this encirclement and suppression with all our strength before."

After saying this, Neiji Okamura seemed to realize something was wrong, but the words had already been spoken and he could no longer take them back.

In any case, Okamura Neiji has indeed regretted it, but there is no regret medicine in the world. No matter how much he regrets, it is of no use.

…

Inside the frontline headquarters of the Gaocheng Division.

Taro Takagi slapped the table and cursed: "A bunch of wastes, wasting such a long time."

A Japanese soldier, Da Zuo, said: "The enemy is so cunning. They constantly harass us and prevent us from advancing at full speed."

"That's why it took so long, but now they shouldn't be able to stop us."

Taro Takajo said angrily: "But the Guangcheng Division is finished. Together with the reinforcements from the direction of Xingtai, they were defeated by the enemy."

A Japanese officer quickly persuaded: "Your Excellency, division commander, calm down. Even so, we have blocked all the westward passages, and they have nowhere to escape. It will be a matter of time to catch up with them."

"Hmph~!"

Taro Takagi snorted coldly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, is already very dissatisfied with our slow actions. I don't want any more accidents to happen."

"Order all the troops to advance at full speed. The troops should be divided into separate lines and move rapidly eastwards at the same time. We must catch up with them as soon as possible and eat them completely."

"Hai~!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

Taro Takagi was also very worried at this moment, fearing that if Li Yunlong ran away again, they would be in trouble.

At this moment, a Japanese officer ran over, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the division commander, news came from the vanguard that they were blocked by the enemy."

"Nani?"

Taro Takagi frowned slightly and said, "So, we are almost catching up with them."

"Order the troops immediately, deploy on the spot immediately, launch an attack, and defeat any blocking troops as soon as possible."

"Hai~!"

The Japanese officer responded respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

Taro Takagi stared at the map for a while, and then said: "It stands to reason that their main force is not far from us."

"Command the troops to continue to accelerate forward."

"Hai~!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

They thought they could catch up with the Eighth Route Army quickly, but unfortunately, they chased for a while and couldn't catch up.

The Eighth Route Army that blocked them before resisted for a moment and then immediately retreated.

The little devil can only continue to pursue.

Taro Takagi led his troops and soon came to the battlefield. Looking at the corpses scattered on the battlefield, Taro Takagi said angrily: "Baga Yalu, I will cut these abominable Tubalu into thousands of pieces."

A Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the battlefield is too chaotic. So far we have not found the whereabouts of the division commander Hirota."

Taro Takagi said angrily: "Damn Tobali, I didn't expect Mr. Hirota to die in their hands."

Although no body was found, there is no doubt that Kotaro Hirota cannot still be alive. The entire Hirota division is destroyed, how can he still be alive?

The Gaocheng Division said angrily: "Leave one unit behind to clean the battlefield and collect the remains of the fallen Imperial Army warriors. The main force will continue to pursue them. No matter what, we must catch up with them and completely eliminate them."

"Hai~!"

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

Taro Takagi glanced again at the piles of corpses on the battlefield, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

But no matter how angry they were, it was in vain. They simply couldn't catch up with Li Yunlong's main force.

At this moment, Li Yunlong, with his main force, had approached the Ping-Han Railway.

According to Li Yunlong's plan, he planned to take advantage of this opportunity to cross the Pinghan-Hankou Railway Line.

It would be best to lure all the little devils to the area east of the railway line.
