Ueno Kawaki couldn't help but frowned and began to hesitate. If this was really the case, then they would be in danger now.

Thinking of how terrible Li Yunlong was now, Uenokawaki couldn't help but worry.

The more Ueno Kawaki thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he quickly ordered: "Immediately give the order to stop the attack."

"Stop attacking?"

"Yes, stop the attack, immediately!"

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer responded respectfully and hurriedly ran to convey the order.

Following Ueno Kawaki's order, the little Japanese who were attacking suddenly stopped their attack.

All the little Japs retreated to their own positions like a tide, leaving corpses everywhere on the smoke-filled battlefield.

Uenokawaki held up the telescope and observed the movement on the opposite side. Everything was calm and there seemed to be nothing special.

At this moment, a Japanese officer suddenly ran over and said in a panic: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, we have just received the latest information."

"Traces of large enemy troops were found on the flanks and rear of our army."

"Nani?"

Ueno Kawaki couldn't help but his face changed drastically, and he quickly asked: "You mean, we found traces of a large enemy force behind us?"

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer said respectfully: "According to the preliminary situation, there are about a thousand enemy troops."

Ueno Kawaki said quickly: "Point out their specific location immediately!"

"Hai!"

The Japanese officer responded respectfully, then pointed at the map and said, "They are at this location."

Ueno Kawaki's frown deepened and he said, "What are they trying to do? Is it possible that they want to block our retreat?"

After staring at the map for a while, Ueno Kawaki said: "Does Li Yunlong want to surround us and annihilate us?"

"He shouldn't be so courageous, right?"

This was a reminder from a Japanese officer: "Your Excellency, division commander, this Li Yunlong has always been bold and capable of doing anything, so..."

Hearing this, Ueno Kawaki suddenly reacted and quickly ordered: "Li Yunlong is too cunning and cunning, you must be careful when dealing with him."

"Immediately send an order to send out scouts to conduct reconnaissance in the nearby area and expand the scope of reconnaissance."

"Especially the rear and flanks of our army, be sure to investigate them clearly for me."

"Hai~!"

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

At this moment, a Japanese soldier ran over and said, "I am reporting to you, the division commander, that the Imperial Army has discovered traces of the enemy's main force on its flanks."

Ueno Kawaki's face turned even darker, and he quickly asked: "Where is it?"

The Japanese officer immediately pointed it out on the map. Uenokawaki frowned and said, "Are they really going to surround us?"

Then one piece of information came back, and traces of the Eighth Route Army were found in many places around.

Preliminary estimates showed that there were at least several thousand people on the eight roads in the surrounding area, and a circle was quickly marked on the map.

Uenogawa looked at the circle marked on the map and said: "These Tubal Roads have basically formed an encirclement on us, and they will definitely further reduce the encirclement."

"They want to annihilate us in one fell swoop."

A Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the enemy's encirclement has not yet been completely formed. Should we break out of the encirclement as soon as possible?"

"Breakout?"

Ueno Kawaki frowned and said: "We must not sit still and wait for death. Immediately send an order for the troops to retreat and retreat along this road."

"Open a breach from here and exit."

Because the location they were in now was easy to attack but difficult to defend, it was a place of four battles, so Uenokawaki didn't want to stay here and wait to die.

After all, they don't know the specific strength of the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army is really strong and surrounds them, they launch a full-line attack. With their current situation, it will be difficult to resist the Eighth Route Army's attack.

So after Ueno Kawaki hesitated, he finally chose to retreat. As long as he could break out, there would still be a chance.

Li Yunlong always paid close attention to the little devil's every move.

"The kid suddenly stopped attacking. Has Uenogawa Shu smelled something?"

Xing Zhiguo, who was next to him, said: "The troops have already launched operations. I guess the little devils have noticed something is wrong."

Li Yunlong asked: "What do you think Uenogawa will do?"

Xing Zhiguo said: "Probably they will be preparing to break out, right?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Then we have to stop them."

"Immediately send an order to the artillery troops. There is no need to hide their strength. Concentrate all artillery fire and bombard the Japs' positions."

"yes!"

A soldier next to him responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Soon the rumbling sound of artillery could be heard from the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

Amidst the ear-piercing whistling sound, artillery shells fell one after another on the Japanese position.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions continued to sound, and pieces of fire shot into the sky.

The Japanese infantry and artillery positions were bombarded by the Eighth Route Army almost simultaneously.

For a time, artillery fire and smoke enveloped the Japanese position.

Ueno Kawaki hurriedly ran out of the headquarters and shouted: "How could this happen?"

"What does Li Yunlong want to do? Is it possible that he wants to attack us?"

A Japanese officer said: "Your Excellency, division commander, the enemy's firepower is too strong."

"The imperial army's artillery fire cannot effectively suppress them, and the imperial army is currently preparing to retreat."

This sentence reminded Ueno Kawaki, and the old devil said: "I understand, they are preventing us from retreating."

"Immediately give the order and continue to retreat without any delay. Evacuate here as soon as possible."

"Hai!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

Then the little Japanese began to retreat with all their strength, even discarding some less important supplies.

Because the situation was urgent, Uenokawaki could no longer care about this and just wanted to get rid of the bad luck of being surrounded as soon as possible.

At the same time, Ueno Kawaki also ordered someone to send a telegram to the Hirota Division, claiming that they had encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and requested the Hirota Division to move closer to them immediately and support them.

After receiving the telegram from Ueno Kawaki, Hirota Kotaro frowned and said: "Since Ueno Kawaki can send this telegram, it means that their current situation is very dangerous."

"Perhaps Li Yunlong really concentrated his main force and prepared to destroy the Ueno Division."

A Japanese officer asked: "Your Excellency, division commander, what should we do?"

"what to do?"
