"Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise!"
"What a wise ass!"
Isotani scolded angrily: "Our Isotani division is the elite of the Locust Army, and now we are being battered by an enemy force that appears out of nowhere. This is simply a great shame and humiliation."
The two old devils, Lai Wuping and Lai Guqi, were so frightened that they lowered their heads again and did not dare to say anything.
At this moment, a Japanese officer hurried over and said, "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, has just received the latest information."
"We found traces of the enemy's main force in the area near Xiaoli Village. They have stopped fleeing eastward."
Hearing this, Isotani turned around and came to the sand table.
A Japanese officer quickly pointed out the specific location of Xiaoli Village on the sand table.
"This is just an ordinary small village, and there are no particularly dangerous terrain nearby."
"Currently, the enemy is staying in this area. Within a few miles, they have begun to build defensive positions. It seems that they have no plans to continue escaping."
Isotani couldn't help but frown when he heard this and said: "According to their previous tactics, they usually hide during the day and come out at night to take the opportunity to sneak attack the locust army."
"Now they did not continue to flee, but began to build defensive positions with great fanfare."
This abnormal behavior of the other party made Isotani a little surprised.
Because Lin Yi was too cunning before, which caused them to fail several times, but now they suddenly stopped and confused the old devil.
Unable to guess their intentions, this old devil did not dare to act rashly.
Isotani ordered: "Immediately inform the scouts on the front line to further find out the enemy's true and false status."
"Inform the Army Aviation Department to send out reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance in the nearby area. The scope will be expanded to an area fifty miles east and south of Xiaoli Village to see if there are other main enemy forces."
Since he had already suffered a big loss before, the old devil couldn't help but become more cautious.
At this time, Lai Wuping said: "The main force of the Locust Army has been exhausted after going back and forth for nearly a hundred miles. Now..."
Isotani couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said: "The enemy is indeed very cunning. They must have expected this, so they stopped so boldly."
Lai Guqi said: "What the division commander said is absolutely true, and they have been struggling all night, and they are not much easier than us. They are probably already a tired division and can't run anymore, so they stopped. "
Major General Lai Wuping pondered for a moment and asked: "Both sides need to rest now, but once this opportunity is missed, the enemy may take the opportunity to escape. If so, it will be troublesome."
Isotani's frown deepened. On the one hand, he was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, but the troops were exhausted, and he did not dare to risk the troops launching an attack. If the battle dragged on, he might be exhausted by then. .
Isotani pondered for a moment and said, "I always feel that there may be some conspiracy in this!"
"Immediately notify the bomber formation of the Army Aviation and launch an all-out bombing of the enemy forces in the area."
"Hai~!"
A Japanese staff officer next to him responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.
Lai Wuping asked carefully: "What about our main force?"
Isotani ordered: "Take a break and wait for the moment. Let's see the enemy's reaction first."
"Although the warriors of the Locust Army are brave, they are not invulnerable. They also need to rest. Our losses have already been huge, and I don't want to let them take risks anymore."
"Hai~!"
Lai Wuping responded quickly: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise."
Isotani continued: "The scouts must keep an eye on them and they must not be allowed to escape."
Lai Guqi said: "Hai! Please rest assured, division commander, they have thousands of troops. It is impossible for them to disappear without knowing it like before."
"Perhaps it is because of this that they gave up the idea of continuing to escape. They knew that they could not avoid our tracking, so they might as well stop and rest."
Isotani nodded slightly, and then suddenly remembered something and asked: "The Locust Army's train of supplies amounted to several hundred tons. How did they transport it in such a short period of time?"
Lai Guqi replied: "Based on the traces left at the scene, they used dozens of trucks to transport it."
Isotani's frown deepened and he said angrily: "A group of trash, they have dozens of trucks and more than a dozen tanks, thousands of troops, they were able to escape your search yesterday and raided Yaoguantun. They How is it done?”
"Are they invisible, or are all of you blind?"
Lai Guqi said helplessly: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down, you are still puzzling for your humble position."
"According to our investigation, their marching route did not leave any traces of a large number of trucks and tanks. I really can't figure out where these trucks and tanks came from."
"This is really weird!"
"From the beginning to the end, this force has been weird. Until now, we don't know their specific identities, let alone where they came from."
"It's as if such an army suddenly appeared out of thin air. It's really incredible."
Isotani was also puzzled. He frowned and said, "Unknown enemies are the most dangerous."
"Not only must we eliminate them as soon as possible, but we must also find out their origins and specific details as soon as possible."
Colonel Tsubukkagaki responded quickly: "Please rest assured, division commander, we will do our best to find out their details as soon as possible."
"Hmph~!"
Isotani snorted coldly and said: "After checking for so long, I still haven't been able to find out their details. How dare you say it?"
Tsubuzaki said with an aggrieved look: "Division Commander, please calm down, we have indeed tried our best, and the intelligence personnel of the Special High School Division lurking inside the enemy do not have any information about this enemy force."
"The intelligence just received shows that even their Sixth Theater Commander's headquarters does not know the specific situation of this mysterious force."
Isotani's frown deepened and he said: "In this case, their origins are even more mysterious. They are really like ghosts."
"Keep checking, you must check it out for me."
"As for now! Let our bombers deal with these enemies properly."
"The area near Xiaoli Village is also flat. I want to see how they deal with the Locust Army's bombers."
Lai Wuping said with excitement: "The enemy lacks air defense weapons, and even basically has no air defense capabilities. The Imperial Locust Army's fighter planes can definitely teach them a lesson. Although they will not annihilate them all, they can definitely inflict heavy damage on them." support enemy troops."
"When the main force of the locust army regains its strength and launches an attack, we will surely be able to annihilate them all."
