Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what, we can't be led by the little devil."

"And it's just our guess now. The real intention of the little devil is not certain yet."

"So, we'd better give it a try first and find out their specific intentions before we can take action."

Kong Jie said quickly: "What Lao Li said makes sense."

Xing Zhiguo asked: "Then what are you going to try?"

Li Yunlong explained: "Isn't this simple? If we don't go back yet, aren't their main forces heading west?"

"Then let's make some noise on the Ping-Han Railway first and see what their reaction is, and then we can make the next plan."

Ding Wei nodded and said, "I have no objection. I think we can do it this way."

Li Yunlong said: "If this is the case, then let's do it."

"All units are prepared immediately and ready to go into battle at any time."

"yes!"

Under Li Yunlong's unified arrangements, all units have also entered a state of combat readiness.

According to Gangcun Ning'er's arrangement, the main force of the Gaocheng Division left Pinghan Road and headed all the way to Wu'an.

As for Wu'an, Zuo Zuomu's division had already taken the lead in launching the attack, and several battles broke out between the two sides near Wu'an.

Li Yunlong sent troops to monitor the little Japs at all times.

Xing Zhiguo walked up to Li Yunlong and said: "This is the latest news. The Gaocheng Division has really left, and all the main forces have left."

"Before, we had been worried that it might be a trap by the Japs, but now it seems that they are not acting."

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Okamura Neiji knows that he can't deceive us by acting, so they really left."

"This is how you can fool us."

Xing Zhiguo quickly asked: "Then what should we do next?"

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said: "Now we have no good solution. Let's make some noise on the Ping-Han Railway according to the original plan, and then see how the little devil reacts."

"Inform all the troops immediately and set off immediately towards the Ping-Han Railway. Tonight, we will launch an attack on the Japanese strongholds along the Ping-Han Railway."

"Go all out and launch a large-scale attack on the areas along the Ping-Han Line as much as possible."

"Yes~!"

Xing Zhiguo responded quickly and then conveyed the order.

That night, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, the Independent Regiment and other troops launched attacks on the Ping-Han Railway line from different directions.

On the railway section from Xingtai to Handan, more than a dozen enemy stronghold gun towers were completely destroyed overnight.

Dozens of kilometers of railways were damaged, and two bridges were blown up.

The Japs and puppet troops in this area lost more than 3,000 people.

However, there were only about a thousand Japs among them, and the rest were puppet troops.

This is also because the main force of the Japs is attacking westward, resulting in fewer Japs troops along the way, mainly puppet troops.

However, these puppet troops had no fighting capacity at all. Many puppet troops even surrendered directly when they saw the Eighth Route Army, and then helped the Eighth Route Army destroy the railway.

Although these puppet troops are useless, there is still no problem if they are allowed to do some damage and do some hard work.

Although they usually cheat and act sneaky, under the guns of the Eighth Route Army, these puppet soldiers are not lazy enough to steal in order to survive.

The news was conveyed to Okamura Neiji's headquarters.

A Japs leader honestly reported the Japs' losses to Okamura Neiji.

Okamura Neiji frowned and said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of Li Yunlong's move?"

The Japanese leader Zuo replied: "According to my humble speculation, his purpose is nothing more than to lure our Gaocheng Division to return for reinforcements."

Okamura Neiji nodded slightly and said: "It makes sense, they just want to lure the Gaocheng division back, so that our two divisions can be separated, so that they can have the opportunity to defeat us one by one."

"It's a pity that we didn't fall for his deception and ordered the Gaocheng Division to continue advancing westward and cooperate with the Zuo Zuomu Division to continue attacking the enemy's main force."

"We can eliminate their main force as much as possible on the frontal battlefield."

"Hai~!"

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

At this time, a Japanese soldier on the left said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is a problem now, that is, the Ping-Han Railway is cut off, and our logistical supplies will have problems."

"I have been worried for a long time that the imperial army on the front line will be in trouble due to logistical supply problems."

Okamura Neiji said: "Hmm~! But I believe Li Yunlong may not have the patience to continue to waste time with us."

"We will build roads when they need to be built, clear the lines as soon as possible, and use air transport to replenish supplies as much as possible."

"Also, it doesn't matter if we open up other transportation routes, even if they are a little slower."

"As long as the supplies can be transported to Xingtai and Handan, then they can be slowly transported to the front line."

"In order to prepare for this battle, we were not unprepared. We transported a large amount of supplies to Wu'an in advance, which can fully support us for a period of time."

"Hai~!"

The Japanese officer responded respectfully, stepped aside obediently, and stopped talking.

Okamura Neiji continued: "Next, let's continue to waste time with Li Yunlong and see whose patience runs out first."

"In areas along the railway line, we should strengthen defenses as much as possible. We can also lay out some traps in advance and wait for them to step on them."

"Hai~!"

A Japanese officer next to him said: "Commander, please rest assured, I will make arrangements right away to ensure that our losses are reduced as much as possible."

Okamura Neiji continued: "On the front line, the Zuo Zuomu Division must also speed up its offensive."

"It's best to eliminate the enemy's main force as soon as possible, so that we can regain the initiative on the battlefield."

"According to the intelligence we have received, the enemy is also determined to fight us in a decisive battle. They have gathered a lot of troops nearby."

"With so many main forces, it is not easy to hide them."

"Hai~!"

The Japanese officers present responded in unison.

"Your Excellency, Commander, is wise."

Neiji Okamura continued: "Everything that needs to be done has been done. If we can't win anymore, then there is really nothing I can do."

A Japanese officer next to him said quickly: "Your Excellency, Commander, under your wise leadership, we will definitely win this battle."
