"Commander, it's not good, the enemy's 10th Corps suddenly turned back, at this moment they are gathering at the foot of the mountain, according to the observation of the intelligence officers, they seem to want to set fire to the mountain, because they are afraid of revealing their identities, so the intelligence officers have already evacuated the hiding place under the mountain, this is the last piece of information they transmit, and the enemy news will not be able to be transmitted later." Du Qijun was worried.

"Set fire to the mountain? Only the Japanese can use this kind of vicious trick, ruthless and fruitful, and the bottom of the kettle will be drawn, and Nakamoto Sakurako will not lose as the commander of the middle lane. After commenting, Ling Xia immediately ordered: "The other party wants to force us down the mountain, but fortunately, we cut out a separation zone before, so that everyone can go to the back mountain to avoid smoke, and at the same time set up catapults and siege crossbows to prevent the enemy from forcibly attacking the mountain." ”

After Ling Xia finished giving the order, Du Qijun came over and persuaded: "Commander, it's okay to avoid smoke, is it necessary to set up a catapult and a siege crossbow?" The road up the mountain has been destroyed by us, and the enemy has no way to attack the mountain even if he wants to, so the last general feels that there is no need for us to do more.

"Before, they couldn't go up the mountain because the mountain was surrounded by trees and all kinds of plants, and they could only stare dryly after the road was destroyed, but when the Japanese invaders burned down Mangniu Mountain, all the trees and vines were gone, and then the enemy just walked up the hillside, do we have to wait until the enemy goes up the mountain before temporarily deploying defenses?" Ling Xia looked at Du Qijun coldly.

"How do you know that the enemy army will go up the mountain?" Du Qijun muttered weakly.

"The enemy burned down the entire Mangniu Mountain, but there was not a single corpse to be seen, do you think they will go up the mountain?" Ling Xia asked Du Qijun rhetorically.

Du Qijun replied in an impatient tone: "Since you have calculated the actions of the enemy army, why don't you organize everyone to evacuate?" Behind Mangniu Mountain is a mountainous area, several mountains are connected together, although the enemy army has a reorganized corps, but they cannot surround the back mountain, at most they send people to keep an eye on it.

The forest area of the back mountain is huge, it is impossible for them to burn the entire mountain forest, if we evacuate from the back mountain, even if the enemy army comes forward to stop us, it will not be able to intercept us all, although the army will have losses at that time, but the main division can be safely transferred, and it is better to keep the elite than to be trapped on the mountain and wait for death. ”

"Can't be withdrawn." Ling Xia looked at Du Qijun helplessly, and sighed: "Old Du, I know that you are thinking about the soldiers of the legion, but you don't forget the purpose of this group of enemy troops, they are going to the logistics headquarters of the theater, if we withdraw, the enemy will be a little frustrated at most after the air is pounced, and they will continue to march after adjusting their mentality."

Even if this fire burns, it will burn for two days at most, and then it will be extinguished, and two days will not help Lao Cui at all, but if we are trapped in the mountains, the situation will be different, and then the enemy will stay to encircle and suppress us, as long as we can entangle the enemy for seven days, we can evacuate, this is the only way to contain the Tenth Corps. ”

"Legion Commander, are you trying to be a bait? Use our legion to buy time for Lao Cui and them? After being stunned, Du Qijun said in a deep voice: "Will the enemy act according to your calculations?" ”

"As long as Sakurako Nakamoto knows that I'm in Mangniu Mountain, then she will follow my calculated steps." As soon as Ling Xia said this, Xue Tianlie, who was in charge of inquiring about the military situation, ran over to report that the enemy army had begun to set fire, and the woods at the foot of the mountain had been ignited, and the fire was spreading rapidly towards the mountain, and the smoke had risen up. 8)
