Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "But what if they are like a piece of dog-skin plaster that sticks to the back of our buttocks and cannot be shaken off?"

"It's good to go east, but that's not our base and we're not very familiar with it, so it will inevitably have some impact. It may not be that easy to get rid of them."

Xing Zhiguo frowned and said with some worry: "If this is true, it will be really troublesome."

"Then what are your plans?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "It's actually simple. If you want to get rid of them, you can only play sparrow war with them."

"Ding Wei has been the leader of the 28th Regiment in the central Hebei region for more than two years. I guess he is more familiar with this area, and he is also more familiar with this plain guerrilla warfare style."

"So this time we have to look at this kid."

Xing Zhiguo nodded slightly and said, "What you said reminded me. I almost forgot about it."

"That boy, Lao Ding, is also very clever, no worse than you. Maybe this boy can have some good ideas."

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said: "If we can contain them and lead them by the nose, it won't take long to turn this Gaocheng Division into a tired division. By then, it won't be too late for us to deal with them.

"

"But now I want to deal with the Zuozuomu division first, because the main forces of the division commander and brigade commander have all arrived."

"All the elite troops have gathered together and are now fighting the Zuo Zuomu division."

"In a few days, this Zuozuomu division will probably be almost exhausted."

"If Ding Wei is allowed to contain the Gaocheng Division, we can quickly return, cross the Ping-Han Railway, attack Zuo Zuomu Division from behind, and cooperate with the main force, we will definitely be able to annihilate them all in one fell swoop."

"After killing the Zuozuomu Division, the Gaocheng Division will be easier to deal with."

Xing Zhiguo nodded slightly and said, "I remember you planned it like this before."

"If this is really possible, then it would be the best."

Li Yunlong said: "For the time being, we will implement this plan first. As for what happens next, let's talk about it later."

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "Well, I have no objection."

…

The Gaocheng Division marched hastily, trying to catch up with the Eighth Route Army, but unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army was also very fast.

In addition, the Japs were blocked to a certain extent, which somewhat affected their speed, so the Japs were unable to catch up with Li Yunlong and the others.

By the time the main force of the Gaocheng Division arrived near Wangjiazhuang, the Eighth Route Army had already disappeared without a trace.

"Reporting to the commander of the division, the main enemy force has passed the Ping-Han Railway and continues to retreat eastward."

Hearing this, Taro Takagi cursed angrily: "Baga Yalu, these hateful Toubalu, they run very fast, don't let me catch up with them, otherwise I will never spare them."

The Japanese officer said cautiously: "Your Excellency, division commander, shall we continue the pursuit?"

Hearing this, Taro Takajo couldn't help but hesitate, because Okamura Neiji gave him the order to pursue them to the Pinghan Railway Line.

Annihilating this eight-pronged force did not tell them to continue pursuing the enemy if they escaped.

Taro Takajo hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the Commander, report the situation to His Excellency the Commander truthfully, and ask Him to make a decision."

At this time, Taro Takajo would not make such a decision. He would directly throw the blame to Okamura Neiji. I will do whatever you say. If the battle is defeated, it will all be your responsibility.

There is no way, they are defeated so miserably now, Takagi Taro can only be cautious, for fear of accidentally becoming a scapegoat, and he will die without knowing how.

"Hai~!"

A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully, turned around and ran to send a telegram.

Taro Takagi continued: "Give me the order. After the troops arrive near Wangjiazhuang, they will rest on the spot."

"Send out scouts and continue to scout eastward to detect the enemy's whereabouts."

"Hai~!"

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

Taro Takagi continued: "I hope these guys don't run too far."

…

The telegram was sent to the headquarters as quickly as possible.

After Okamura Neiji read the telegram, he angrily cursed: "Baga Yalu, these bunch of rubbish, fail to accomplish anything but fail more than they do."

"Commander, please calm down!" the Japanese officers present quickly persuaded him.

Okamura Neiji was also furious, but he also understood that things were already like this, and it was useless to be angry.

So now he could only swallow his bad breath, try to calm down, and then said: "The enemy has escaped, should we continue the pursuit?"

"What do you think should be done?"

The Japanese officers present looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were silent.

Because they don't know how to answer this question.

Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment, and then said: "If we pursue, we may not be able to catch up with the enemy. If we don't pursue, we will miss the opportunity. Moreover, Li Yunlong is very cunning. I don't know when they will come from somewhere."

Come out and give the imperial army a fatal blow.'

"So this is indeed a difficult question."

A Jaap Zuo said: "Your Excellency, Commander, after successive battles, the losses of the Imperial Army are increasing. I think it is better to take a break now to allow the Imperial Army to regain its strength, and then readjust its deployment before launching an encirclement and suppression campaign."

."

Okamura Neiji pondered for a moment and said: "If this opportunity is wasted, it will probably be more difficult to eliminate them next time."

"The recovery ability of the Eighth Route Army is far beyond our imagination. Although these guys are hateful, we have to admit that they have indeed created many miracles."

"Send the order and order the Gaocheng Division to temporarily stop operations and rest on the spot and be on standby."

"Hai~!"

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

Then Neiji Okamura continued: "In addition, immediately send a telegram to the Zuo Zuomu Division and order the Zuo Zuomu Division to temporarily stop military operations and gradually retreat."

"Everyone retreated in an orderly manner to the Wu'an area to rest and wait for new instructions."

"Hai~!"

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

At this time, the old devil Okamura Neiji was forced to accept reality.

After pondering for a long time, the old Japanese finally decided to temporarily stop the action and rest the troops on the spot, and then make decisions based on actual actions.
