"Tuanzuo, we have killed the Japanese cavalry that was about to catch up!"

Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company, grinned and reported to Xu Ruihui: "Killed 33 Japanese cavalry."

“Well done!”

Xu Rui nodded, and then commanded the troops to continue withdrawing deep into Hutou Mountain.

It was almost dark by now.

As night fell, it was almost announced that the 303rd Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army had broken out from Niujialing, and the danger of being pursued and annihilated by the Bantian Regiment had been basically eliminated.

However, it wasn't until after dark that it was past eight o'clock.

The reconnaissance company covering the reconnaissance at the back quickly reported to Xu Rui that the Bantian regiment was still pursuing them along the tracks left by the large army.

"Made, is this old devil Sakata Nobori stalking you?"

Xu Rui frowned and said.

"Sakata United, how far away are we now?"

Xu Rui asked Xu Dahu, commander of the reconnaissance company.

"According to the current location of Sakata United, it's twenty minutes away from our lighting."

Xu Dahu said immediately.

“Twenty minutes away!”

Xu Rui looked solemn when he heard this.

Being chased like this by the Sakata Alliance, the 303rd Regiment couldn't even stop and rest.

"map!!!"

Xu Rui waved his hand to Xu Dahu, the adjutant and commander of the reconnaissance company.

Xu Dahu quickly took out a map from a document bag he was carrying behind his back. Chief of Staff Luo Youdu immediately took out a flashlight and illuminated the map.

"We are here now."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu pointed at the map and said: "The Bantian Regiment, according to what Xu Dahu just said, should be here."

"Um!"

Xu Rui nodded, then pointed at the map illuminated by the flashlight, and said to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Chief of Staff, this old devil Sakata Nobori must have been angered by us."

"They insisted on pursuing us despite being ambushed by us at night! If we are pursued like this again, we won't even be able to stop and rest after we break out."

"This won't work!"

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said: "Commander, what do you think?".

"We must find a place to hit him hard, at least so that old devil Sakata Nobori will not be in the mood to continue chasing us."

Xu Rui said with a solemn expression.

"So, we must find a place to fight! At least, kill another elite member of the Sakata Alliance!"

When Luo Youdu heard this, he looked at the map and immediately pointed to a place on the map and said, "How is it here?"

"Suitable for ambush and blocking!"

Xu Rui and the surrounding first battalion commander Chen Zhenping and others took a closer look and their eyes lit up.

"This place is a valley! Old Wolf Valley!"

Xu Rui couldn't help but say.

"The First Battalion of Old Wolf Valley has passed through it before, right?"

Pointing to a location on the map: Laoye Valley, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu asked First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping.

"Come on, Chief of Staff!"

First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping nodded and said: "There are only two valley entrances in and out of this place, and the valley entrances are narrow."

"Furthermore, it is a necessary place to go to the depths of Hutou Mountain. Moreover, the Bantian unit that blocks the pursuit here is suitable for our current situation."

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu immediately said to Xu Rui: "How about the group?"

"Then set up an ambush here. Even if the ambush is good, one company will be enough to stop the pursuing Sakata Regiment here."

Xu Rui nodded and said.

There are many valleys like this in Hutou Mountain, and this is the valley closest to them.

This is the most suitable place to block the pursuit of the Sakata United Team.

"Go down with the order, march quickly, and rush to Lao Lao Lang Valley to set up an ambush!"

Xu Rui then waved his hand and shouted.

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping and others replied loudly.

Then, under the command of Xu Rui, more than 1,300 people from the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army galloped towards Laolang Valley in the submerged night.

Of course, in order to confuse the pursuing Sakata United Team.

Xu Rui commanded the troops to rush to Laolang Valley. Along the way, people dropped many unnecessary things and pretended to be in a state of embarrassment.

In this way, we can more or less confuse that old devil Sakata Nobori.

Sure enough, during the pursuit, we saw many empty food belts dropped by the soldiers of the 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army, as well as some guns and other weapons and equipment without bullets.

Sakata Nobori immediately became confident and felt that once he caught up with Xu Rui's men, it would not be a problem to entangle and annihilate them.

"Keep chasing me!"

Sakata Nobori became more confident and commanded the Japs unit to continue the pursuit.

The chief of staff, Major Dokuno Taro, who was following Nobori Sakata, was very worried. It was already night.

Going deep into Hutou Mountain at night, the probability of being ambushed by the enemy has greatly increased.

But seeing that Sakata Nobori insisted on going his own way and insisted on doing so, he could only bite the bullet and follow Sakata Nobori.

We and the enemy, I will retreat and you will pursue us.

At 8:29 p.m., Xu Rui commanded his troops to arrive at the valley where they planned to set up an ambush: in front of the southeastern entrance of Laolang Valley.

“It’s really a place that’s easy to defend but hard to attack, and it’s a good place to set up an ambush!”

Seeing the southeastern entrance of Laolang Valley, Xu Rui said happily.

Chief of Staff Luo Youdu on the side nodded and said: "The entrance to the valley is only about four meters long, according to the map and the detailed introduction by First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping."

"The other valley entrance of Laolang Valley is probably less than five meters long. Setting up a machine gun on the hilltop on one side of the valley entrance can also block the valley entrance, so that the enemy troops attacking the valley entrance cannot reach even one meter in front of the valley entrance!

"

Xu Rui nodded, then waved his hand and began to order: "The first battalion seizes the mountains on the southwest side of Laolang Valley, and the second battalion seizes the mountains on the northeast side of Laolang Valley.".

"The third battalion is divided into two parts and cooperates with the reconnaissance company to guard the two valley entrances from the southeast to the northwest! Place half of the regiment's machine guns on the hills on both sides of the two valley entrances to form a fire coverage and blockade of the valley entrances."

First Battalion Commander Chen Zhenping and others suddenly stood at attention and said: "Yes, regimental seat!".

Immediately, several people immediately followed Xu Rui's order to seize the commanding heights in the mountains around Laolang Valley, set up machine guns, and build machine gun positions.

Xu Rui and Chief of Staff Luo Youdu, escorted by seven or eight guards, climbed to the top of the highest mountain on the northeast side, overlooking the entire Laolang Valley from a high position.

Moreover, you can see the situation at the valley mouth on the southeast side.

"Let the first and second battalions send some people and leave some weapons, equipment and other things along the way out of the valley entrance on the northwest side. Otherwise, it is unlikely that old devil Sakata Nobori will send troops into the Old Wolf Valley."

Suddenly, Xu Rui ordered a messenger on the side.

"Yes, Tuanzuo!"

The messenger left in response.

After the ordering soldier went down to deliver the order, Chief of Staff Luo Youdu said solemnly: "Commander, this old devil Sakata Nobori is very cunning. Do you think this old devil will be fooled?".
