Tsubujagui said quickly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise, so what should we do now? I hope that your Excellency, the division commander, will make it clear."
Isotani said angrily: "First, continue to investigate the origin of this mysterious force, and be sure to find out about them."
"Hai!"
Dibujiagui responded quickly.
Isotani continued: "Also, each unit, continue to search for the whereabouts of this enemy with all their strength, be sure to determine their specific location, surround them with the main force, and then completely annihilate them."
Tsubujaki frowned and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "But the enemy keeps fleeing to the west and may run further and further away."
Isotani said angrily: "Then chase them. No matter what, we must destroy them."
"Hai~!"
Tsubutakaki responded quickly, not daring to talk any more, and turned around to convey the order.
Lin Yi led his troops to retreat westward, tens of miles away, and arrived near Shaqiao Town. They found a relatively secluded place where the soldiers rested and recuperated.
Lin Yi was worried that the Japanese would catch up and harm the nearby villagers, so he did not enter the village.
I just hid in the wild and camped, but the nearby area was densely populated and there were villages everywhere.
The Japs are chasing us all the way, and many villages and towns will definitely be looted by the Japs.
Lin Yi also sent people in advance to keep an eye on the Japs' movements, and also sent people to report to villagers in some villages and towns along the way, asking them to escape as far away as possible to avoid the Japs and minimize casualties and losses.
Lin Yi lay under a big tree, covered with a blanket, and slept comfortably.
A few hours later, Liu Zhihui suddenly came back.
"Sir!"
"How is it going?"
Liu Zhihui replied: "Sir, the little devil was completely angered this time. He sent out at least seven to eight thousand troops to search all the way west, hoping to detect our traces."
"Fortunately, they are currently unable to determine our specific location and are searching aimlessly because the progress is slow."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "How far away is the enemy from us?"
Liu Zhihui replied: "The nearest enemy force here is already more than ten miles away."
Lin Yi said: "In other words, they will search here soon."
Liu Zhihui shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. We deliberately left some traces to confuse the Japanese. Maybe they won't search here!"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "You are so smart!"
"Hehe~!"
Liu Zhihui chuckled and said, "These are all trivial matters." '
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, is it possible for us to avoid their troops and advance eastward."
Liu Zhihui asked: "You mean, we pass through their ranks?"
"right!"
Lin Yi nodded.
Liu Zhihui pondered for a moment and said, "We now have more than a thousand people, and we also have a lot of heavy weapons."
Lin Yi said: "We can give up heavy weapons and unnecessary baggage as much as possible, and bury them on the spot."
"The troops try to be as light and simple as possible."
Liu Zhihui said with a smile: "If this is the case, it is not impossible, but it may be more difficult during the day."
Lin Yi said: "Then let's turn around and go east tonight."
"yes!"
Liu Zhihui responded quickly: "I'll get ready right away."
Lin Yi said: "Our soldiers are also tired and need to rest. Your task is to prevent the little devils from searching here before dark."
Liu Zhihui responded quickly: "Promise to complete the task."
Lin Yi said to himself: "The most dangerous place is the safest place!"
"Isoya is cheap, I will have fun with you today."
According to Lin Yi's plan, everything went very smoothly.
Soon at night, although the Japs deployed a lot of troops, the search area was too large, and the progress speeds of the Japs from each group were different, which gave Lin Yi and the others a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
When Liu Zhihui and others deliberately confused the Japanese, the place where they were hiding became a gap for the Japanese to search.
After dark, the soldiers who had rested for a while regained some strength.
Then Lin Yi and his soldiers suddenly turned around and advanced eastward.
Liu Zhihui sent someone to investigate the situation in advance. The troops carefully avoided the Japanese and quickly moved eastward.
A few hours later, the troops marched dozens of miles and returned to the Ziya River.
Lin Yi ordered his men to find an orchard, and the troops temporarily stopped to continue resting.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye it was the next day.
As soon as it dawned, Isotani, an old devil, hurried to the headquarters.
As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is everything going?"
Tsubuzaki quickly replied: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down. All units have searched carefully and have chased them for nearly a hundred miles. We have still not been able to find the whereabouts of the enemy. These guys are really too cunning."
"Moreover, traces of them have been found in many places. I thought that maybe these cunning guys had scattered and fled to the west and disappeared. In this way, it would be even more difficult to surround them and then eliminate them. It’s difficult.”
Isotani couldn't help but scolded: "Baga Yalu, a bunch of losers, trash!"
"Hai!"
Colonel Tsubujiagui responded respectfully: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down, you deserve to die for your humble position."
Isotani said angrily: "I can't even deal with a small group of enemies. How can I explain to the Commander?"
Di Bujiagui said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Division Commander, please calm down. Your Majesty the Commander has now given an order for us to take advantage of the situation to pursue and capture Bozhen, Decheng and other places as soon as possible."
"So I think there is no need to waste time and energy on these small groups of enemies now."
Isotani said cheaply: "In that case, let them withdraw, reorganize the army, and prepare the troops to go south."
"Hai!"
Dibujiagui responded quickly.
However, the old devil Isotani thought about it more and more, and said angrily: "A small group of enemies not only wasted us for so long, but also caused such heavy losses to the locust army. It is really unreasonable." .”
Tsubuzaki quickly said: "As long as we can completely conquer the Dragon Kingdom, then it will be worth paying any price."
"Looking back at it now, this is just an insignificant episode."
Isotani nodded slightly and said: "What you said is not bad. Now that the Locust Army is unstoppable, it is only a matter of time before it conquers the entire Dragon Kingdom."
