Lin Yi led his troops and retreated all the way east. After walking for about ten miles, they came to a village called Xiaolizhuang.
This is a small village with only more than a hundred households, but now there is only a ruin in the entire village.
All the houses were burned down.
There was still a strong smell of burnt food in the air.
Chen Dalei ran up to Lin Yi and said, "Sir, check carefully. The whole village has been burned."
"It was the kid who did it. It should have happened the day before yesterday."
"A large number of corpses were found in the village ancestral hall, about three to four hundred people."
"Damn it, these stupid little devils are so heartless."
When Lin Yi heard Chen Dalei's words, he was furious and cursed: "You damn little devil! I must make them pay with blood!"
The day before yesterday, a group of little devils who were collecting grain nearby came to Xiaoli Village. After entering the village, this group of little devils began to rob grain and property. They were resisted by the local villagers. In the chaos, a farmer accidentally killed a little boy. The Japs, thus completely angering the Japs.
Then the Japanese captured more than 300 villagers, rushed them all to the ancestral hall compound, and shot them all with machine guns, killing them all.
Afterwards, the Japanese burned the corpses and set fire to the entire village.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Bury all the bodies of the victims."
"Order the troops to stop retreating, choose favorable terrain nearby, build fortifications, and prepare for battle."
Chen Dalei asked in surprise: "Sir, what do you want?"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said: "We are not leaving. If the main force of the Japs catches up, then we will be here to fight them in a decisive battle."
"I want to use the blood of the Japanese to comfort the souls of the victims."
"yes!"
Chen Dalei responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.
Since the full-scale war broke out, the little devils have committed all kinds of evil, burning, killing and looting.
And because the Japanese advanced too fast and their logistical support was insufficient, a lot of their food and grass were collected nearby.
Moreover, in order to rob property, these Japanese soldiers also took advantage of every opportunity to plunder everywhere. It can be said that they committed all kinds of evil.
In the past few days, Lin Yi saw many villages that had been looted by the Japanese in the nearby area.
Many of the villagers were killed by the Japanese, but this was the first time Lin Yi had encountered a situation like this, where a village was massacred and more than 300 people were killed.
Of course, situations like this are not uncommon, but Lin Yi has never encountered them before.
But I heard before that in some towns occupied by the little devils, many people were killed.
Since the Japanese Isoya Division landed to join the war, in just one month, at least tens of thousands of innocent people have been killed by these beasts.
Lin Yi's decision to stop retreating was not entirely motivated.
Because Lin Yi is now very strong, if all the points are used, he will have at least five to six thousand troops.
Such a force is fully capable of fighting head-on with the Isoya Division.
That's why Lin Yi decided to stop retreating and build a defense line nearby. If the main force of the Japs came in force, he would start a decisive battle with the Japs here.
With Lin Yi's current strength, even if he cannot wipe out the entire Isoya Division on the frontal battlefield, he can at least guarantee an invincible position. After all, the soldiers under him are also elite soldiers and strong generals.

My special camp?
Zhou Tianyi?
Lin Yi smiled slightly and said to himself: "Not bad, not bad! There is another strong man!"
Now is the time to employ people, so Lin Yi naturally hopes to increase his strength as soon as possible.
And this Zhou Tianyi is also a strong man, the talent Lin Yi needs most now.
…
After dawn, the main force of the little devil Laiwu Brigade and Laigu Brigade rushed to the front line of Yaoguantun.
But Lin Yi's troops had already withdrawn. After a lot of trouble, these little devils never had time to rest and were now half dead from exhaustion.
Therefore, these two old devils did not dare to continue the pursuit, but ordered the troops to stop and rest.
Two old Japs, Lai Wuping and Lai Guqi, hurried to Lion City, the Japs' headquarters.
Isotani pointed at the noses of the two Japanese major generals and cursed loudly: "Baga Yalu, you two stupid pigs were fooled around by a Dragon Kingdom army, and you also caused the Locust Army to suffer such heavy losses."
"This is really unreasonable! The Locust Army has lost all of its face by you two idiots."
The two old devils, Lai Wuping and Lai Guqi, lowered their heads in shame and were speechless for a moment.
After Isoya cursed a lot, the anger in his heart finally eased a little, and then he asked: "How is the situation now?"
Lai Wuping answered cautiously: "The enemy retreated eastward, and all the supplies on the train were transported away by them."
"Hmph~!"
Isotani snorted coldly.
Major General Lai Guqi said quickly: "Your Excellency, division commander, calm down, we have sent scouts to investigate the situation."
"They don't seem to have gone far, and the area east of the Lion City is relatively narrow, because the sea is more than a hundred miles away."
"This way, it will be easier for us to eliminate them."
Isotani said angrily: "Hmph~! If only things were that simple. They can't retreat to the east, so why can't they flee to the south?"
"If they really want to escape, can you stop them?"
The two were speechless again, but when they saw the two old devils' eyes were red and their faces looked tired, they knew they had tried their best.
Isoya Rensuke was too lazy to tell them this anymore. He frowned and said, "The top priority now is to eliminate them as soon as possible. The existence of such an enemy army is a huge threat to the Locust Army."
"And I conclude that they will not escape, because if they really wanted to escape, they would have fled westward long ago and would not come back."
"The reason why they stay here and fight with us is to contain the locust army and prevent it from moving south."
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise!"
