These words reminded the Hashimoto group, who frowned and asked: "You mean, they don't really want to attack us."

The Japanese officer replied: "Exactly, they deliberately put up an offensive posture, probably just to contain us."

"Now the enemy is besieging HD. Maybe they are just trying to buy time to capture HD City."

Hearing this, Hashimoto Group immediately understood, nodded and said: "Yes, they must be trying to hold us back."

"They were deliberately bluffing before, just to hold us back."

At this time, a Japanese commander said: "The more they try to hold us back, the less we can let their schemes succeed."

"We can leave some troops to take charge of the rear, and they won't really launch a full-scale attack anyway."

"The main force takes the opportunity to quickly support HD. As long as the main force of our imperial army reaches the outskirts of HD, those Tuba Road who besieged HD will inevitably retreat when they see that they cannot conquer HD."

Hashimoto nodded and said: "That makes sense. In this way, we can ensure the safety of the Ping-Han Railway. By temporarily forcing the enemy back, we can defend the areas along the railway and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

The Japanese colonel said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise. We don't have to fight them for the time being. We can wait patiently for reinforcements to arrive and then we can eliminate them soon."

"No matter how powerful these enemies are by then, we can completely eliminate them and clear out the entire southern Hebei region."

"If we can take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province, we can also take the opportunity to enter Jin Province and restore public security in Jin Province."

The Hashimoto group was also speechless for a while. What you said was quite light. Those who didn't know better thought you had won the battle now.

But now they have no other way besides comforting themselves.

Hashimoto Group sighed helplessly and said: "This is the only thing we can do for the time being. Send an order immediately and leave some troops behind. The rest of the main force will immediately retreat in the direction of HD."

"Hai!"

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

Then Hashimoto Gun personally led the main force of Hashimoto's division and began to retreat towards HD City.

However, Hashimoto's division still left a force behind to break up the rear.

The news quickly reached Li Yunlong. After receiving the news, Li Yunlong said excitedly: "The little devil was indeed fooled."

Xing Zhiguo also smiled and said: "I think Boss Liu is already well prepared. The main force of Hashimoto's division will definitely be ambushed by the main force of our army."

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "However, the enemy force is strong. After all, it is a reorganized division. In addition, there are some HD local Japanese troops and some puppet troops, so its strength is still quite large."

"With Boss Liu's tens of thousands of troops, it's not that easy to defeat Hashimoto's division in one fell swoop."

"So we must eliminate the enemies blocking us as soon as possible, advance the entire army in the direction of HD, assist the main force, and completely defeat them."

Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "In addition to the several thousand main force of our new regiment, the more than 10,000 people from the Southern Hebei Military Region who have withdrawn from the area east of the railway are now all ready for battle."

"In this way, if more than 20,000 of us launch an attack together and capture these little Japs who are blocking their way, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "Immediately order all the troops to stop acting and launch an attack with all their strength, so that the little devils can see how powerful we are."

"In addition, notify the friendly forces and ask them to outflank them from the flanks and launch attacks from the Japanese flanks to help our army eliminate the enemies in front of us as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Li Yunlong's order was quickly conveyed to the forward positions, and then the main force of the new regiment launched a comprehensive general offensive against the enemy in front of them.

"Kill~!"

Amidst the roaring shouts of killing, under the cover of tanks, thousands of new regiment's main troops began to attack the Japs' positions from the front.

At the same time, more than 10,000 troops from the Jinan Military Region, which had withdrawn from the area east of the railway, also began to take action.

Each combat unit began to quickly move toward the enemy's flanks to outflank them.

Faced with this situation, the Hashimoto group also panicked.

The news kept coming.

"The blocking force is in a hurry, the enemy's offensive is too fierce."

Hashimoto Group quickly ordered: "Immediately send an order to all those puppet troops to stay behind and let them block the enemy's attack no matter what."

"The main force continues to retreat towards HD. As long as we retreat to HD, we will be safe."

"Hai~!"

So the Hashimoto group led the troops and began to retreat at a faster speed, when they reached the vicinity of Sanling Township.

The little Jaap suddenly encountered a tenacious blockade by the Eighth Route Army. The Japs' leading troops launched several charges, but were all repelled by the blocking Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, the imperial army encountered a tenacious resistance from the enemy in Sanling Township. The troops launched several attacks, but all failed."

"Bagaya Deer!"

The Hashimoto group cursed angrily and said: "Immediately order all the troops to deploy immediately and prepare to launch a new round of attack. You must try to break through their defenses as soon as possible for me."

"As long as we can break through their resistance, we can completely defeat them."

"Hai!"

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

In the view of Hashimoto Group, when the Eighth Route Army learned that their main force had returned to support HD, they would definitely not dare to stay here anymore and would inevitably retreat across the board.

Therefore, as long as they can break through Sanling Township's blockade as soon as possible, they will surely be able to further defeat the Eighth Route Army that besieged HD.

Because under the orders of Hashimoto Group, the main force of the Japs quickly deployed on the spot, preparing to launch a new round of general attack.

At this moment, a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the flanks of the little devil.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Division Commander, the enemy's main force has been discovered on both wings."

"Nani?"

The Hashimoto group couldn't help but change their expressions, and quickly asked: 'How many troops are there in the enemy's army?'

"No fewer than ten thousand people!"

"so much?"

"There are no less than ten thousand people on both wings, and more and more enemies are gathering on the front."

"We are surrounded by enemy forces on three sides, and it seems that the enemy forces are about to attack us."

Hearing this, Hashimoto was completely dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that maybe they had been fooled.

"wrong!"

Hashimoto group shouted anxiously: "This is wrong!"

"We were fooled. The enemy deliberately forced us back to HD and then ambushed us halfway."
Chapter completed!
