Under the cover of darkness, Lin Yi led his troops to play hide-and-seek with the Japs for several hours, taking the opportunity to kill dozens more Japs.
But there were too many Japs around, and these little Japs obviously didn't give up. They were chasing Lin Yi and the others with all their strength. They were like dog-skin plaster and could not be completely shaken off.
Lin Yi calculated that with his current points, he could summon a team of several hundred people.
With such strength, even if they were to face two or three thousand little devils, they would still be able to fight.
So Lin Yi decided to have an upright fight with the little devil.
It's not that Lin Yi can't get rid of these devils completely. In fact, it's not impossible to get rid of them completely.
But Lin Yi also wanted to eliminate more Japanese so as to accumulate more points.
That's why this situation occurs.
It was already late at night, and there were still a few hours before dawn. If the Japs continued to pursue them after dawn, they would be in even greater trouble.
Therefore, Lin Yi had to choose a suitable place before dawn and prepare for a head-on decisive battle with the little devil.
Lin Yi calculated that if everything went well, he could take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate a large number of Japanese soldiers and earn more points.
But compared to the two or three thousand Japs, even if he summoned all his troops, he would not be a match for the Japs, so he had to choose a favorable terrain.
After some reconnaissance, Lin Yi found a suitable place.
At this time, Lin Yi and the others were not far from the Ziya River. There was a high ground beside the Ziya River, several meters higher than other places.
The Ziya River flows here and forms a bend. Because of this bend, there is a triangular area beside the river, surrounded by rivers on three sides, and only the south direction is land.
Moreover, this area happens to be a wasteland with basically no crops.
However, there was a patch of willow trees growing there, with hundreds of them in total. Some of the willow trees were more than a hundred years old, and no two people could hug each other.
This forest is just enough to withstand the charge of the little Japanese cavalry.
And big trees can also be their best cover.
After making up his mind, Lin Yi immediately led the people to the high ground by the river.
Lin Yi then directly spent all the system points and exchanged them for a total of 200 people. Adding in an infantry platoon of more than 50 people who signed in, there were more than 250 people. There were still dozens of people left before. , As a result, Lin Yi's total strength has exceeded 300 people, which is already a smaller battalion.
After the system soldiers were summoned, Lin Yi immediately arranged for them to repair the fortifications here and prepare for battle.
These newly summoned warriors are all in full condition, and they are all working enthusiastically.
Soon, foxholes and trenches were dug one by one, and machine gun positions were quickly deployed.
Since they are surrounded by rivers on three sides, they only need to defend one direction in the south, which saves them a lot of trouble.
Moreover, Lin Yi also arranged for engineers to lay out a large number of mine arrays in the open space outside the position to block the enemy's attack.
At this time, there was a burst of gunfire in the distance, and Lin Yi suddenly stood up.
Although the distance was too far and there were crops blocking the way, it was impossible to see the specific situation clearly, but Lin Yi could also guess that some Japanese soldiers must have searched here and exchanged fire with the troops on guard outside.
At this time, Sun Desheng ran over and said, "Sir, the kid may be coming."
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said: "We are almost ready. We are here today to fight our last battle and have a good fight with the little devil."
"We can also take this opportunity to touch the bottom of the little devils and see how much fighting power they have."
Sun Desheng said excitedly: "The terrain chosen by the commander is good. We can kill the Japanese happily."
"Don't mention that there are only two or three thousand little devils, even if a brigade comes, we don't need to be afraid."
Lin Yi calculated that it was dozens of miles away from the Lion City and more than thirty miles away from the Jinpu Railway.
It is estimated that the little devils are unlikely to send more troops. After all, the little devils thought that Lin Yi only had a hundred or so people. To deal with such a small number of people, they were unlikely to send more troops.
So what they have to deal with now is only one Japanese cavalry regiment and two infantry brigades, with a total of more than 3,000 troops.
After a period of fighting, these three troops have suffered losses and are not at full strength. Besides, without the non-combatants, the actual combat troops are only more than 2,000 people.
There were also about a thousand cavalry troops, but Lin Yi didn't take them seriously at all.
Because of this terrain, the Japs' cavalry couldn't move at all. If their cavalry dared to attack, they would only become a living target for their machine guns.
If the little Japanese cavalry was really rushing to die, Lin Yi would not want it.
So what they needed to deal with were mainly these two Japanese infantry brigades, a combat force of more than a thousand people. Lin Yi was still confident of dealing with them.
Lin Yi immediately ordered: "Send the order and prepare to fight."
"You'll beat me to death later, try to kill a few more little devils, and make me look good."
"yes!"
Sun Desheng and others responded quickly.
A squad of soldiers on guard at the periphery encountered a group of cavalry being searched by the Japs, and a firefight broke out between the two sides.
Seven or eight of the little Japanese cavalry were killed, but the Japanese cavalry immediately sent out a signal.
The Japanese who were searching in the nearby area rushed in this direction.
The soldiers on alert had already taken the opportunity to retreat to their positions and reported the situation to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took out some food from the system warehouse and distributed it to the soldiers, so that they were all well fed and ready to fight.
Kuwada Shinzo led the cavalry regiment and rushed to the scene first.
This time the little devils also learned well and did not launch an attack rashly.
Kuwata Shinzo and several Japanese officers under his command observed the surrounding terrain.
Kuwata Shinzo asked: "Has everyone in the area been sealed off? We can't let them escape this time."
A Japanese officer next to him said: "I am reporting to you, Lieutenant Colonel, that this highland is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and only the south is land. That is, this area has been blocked by us."
"They were seeking death by hiding there, and now they can't escape."
Kuwada Shinzo said: "Don't be careless, so what if you are surrounded by rivers on three sides? These enemies are very cunning. They can completely escape across the river."
"Send troops across the river immediately and build positions on the other side to prevent them from crossing the river and escaping."
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is already angry. If we don't annihilate them, then we will have no choice but to commit seppuku."
"Hai~!"
The Japanese officers present responded in unison.
Kuwata Shinzo was not a fool. He was worried that they would cross the river and escape, so he ordered the cavalry troops to cross the river from a nearby bridge and blockade the other side to form a siege on them.
However, he never dreamed that Lin Yi had no intention of escaping this time.
