The devil's intention to lure the enemy is obvious, otherwise they would not have retreated, Qi Rui is very sure of this, so he will let the army advance after dawn.

Qi Rui is not blindly rushing, his consideration is very thorough, Qi Rui knows that devils often use chemical weapons, especially poison gas bombs, which is why he will leave all the gas masks behind.

Along with the previously captured, Qi Rui distributed all of them to the soldiers, and the wealthy ones were also given to the fruit army, and the team equipped with gas masks would go to the front to prevent the devils from dropping poison gas bombs.

Qi Rui said that he was almost going to rest, Zhang Lingfu Although they still have a lot of questions, how can they be embarrassed to bother after a busy night.

By the time Qi Rui woke up, it was already more than ten o'clock, and after eating something, Qi Rui ordered the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade and the Wolf Tooth Ghost Cavalry to go first, the 74th Army and the 18th Army followed the two flanks behind, and the two divisions of the 27th Group Army lagged behind.

Qi Rui himself led the White Russian Cavalry, the Lone Wolf Brigade, the Black Wind Village, the Nine Dragons Village, and the Blood Wolf Special Combat Team to follow behind the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade.

The devil's reconnaissance plane has never been idle, and when it found that Qi Rui's army was advancing forward, it immediately reported it to Okamura Ningji.

Okamura immediately ordered the 3rd, 6th, and 9th Divisions to be separated, and asked the 16th Division, which had suffered relatively large losses before, to retreat first, and the 9th Division to stay in place and wait for the biochemical troops, and the 3rd Division to move to the left flank of the 9th Division, ready to receive reinforcements at any time.

The 16th Division, which received the order, was led by Keisuke Fujie, Sasaki to Ichi, and Kusaba Tatsuru to retreat, but they didn't want to enter the minefield arranged by Qi Rui and them as soon as they walked less than five miles.

Qi Rui heard the explosion of the mines and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and find a place to hide, just like they were the ones who were bombed.

The 3rd Division and the 9th Division did not know what was going on, so they hurriedly inquired, only to learn that the 16th Division had stepped on a mine and suffered a lot of losses.

This needless to ask was arranged by Qi Rui and them last night, which means that he had already calculated that the army would retreat.

Fujie Keiichi was angry and scolded, and Sasaki Zhiichi's angry face turned eggplant-colored, because they all felt that they were being played by Qi Rui, and vowed to take revenge.

At this time, news was received that Qi Rui's army had stopped advancing, and some troops had retreated.

"What the hell does this Qi Rui want to do!?" Keisuke Fujie asked angrily,

"Division Commander! It seems that this Qi Rui is indeed cunning, the reason why he is moving forward is to let us retreat, and he has completely judged our intentions! Sasaki said to the first,

"So what do we do?" Keisuke Fujie asked,

"Division Commander! We have to do the opposite! Sasaki thought about it and said,

"What do you mean?"

"Qi Rui now knows our intentions, and the previous plan can't be carried out at all! So! If we want to destroy them, we have to overturn our previous plans and come up with a new one! Sasaki said,

"What are you going to do?"

"According to the reconnaissance aircraft, there is no one on the shore of the lake where we were going to land before, and if we want to destroy them, there is still a chance! That's to take a ship and go around behind them again! Sasaki said,

"General Kusada, what do you say?" Keisuke Fujie asked the brigade commander Tatsuru Kusaba,

"I think so!" Kusaba Tatsushi and Sasaki have a good relationship, and hurriedly supported,

"Then I'll report to Commander Okamura!"

"Division Commander! It's better not to be notified! Because I suspect that there are Qi Rui's spies in our army! "Sasaki Zhiichi never believed that Qi Rui was such a god,

"Qi Rui is very clear about our plan, and I also suspect that there are spies in our army!" Kusaba Tatsushi said,

"Oh well! I immediately contacted the ship! Ready! "Fujie Keisuke also wants to eliminate Qi Rui, because the 16th Division is very famous, but not many people know about him, the commander of the division, and he also wants to make a name for himself through this battle.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke of the Ninth Division and the other biochemical troops came, but he heard that Qi Rui was not advancing, so he had to order the army to stay where it was and wait.

Shiro Inaba of the 3rd Division also received the news, and without further orders, he also chose to stay put.

Qi Rui didn't expect to move forward, because he had said before that he would try not to fight with the devil again, and his purpose was to confuse the devil and make them not know what he wanted to do.

In fact, Qi Rui had long planned to let the Guo army go back, but he had to grasp the timing when he went back, Qi Rui also wanted to see the changes after the devils, how to say that they were not stupid, they knew that the battle plan was seen through by themselves and still insisted.

Okamura Ningji also received the news, before he was unwilling to let the plan he had been planning for more than a month come to naught, but now he was thinking about the end, because he was now very sure that Qi Rui already knew the plan, and if he continued, it might bring huge losses to the team.

Because from the beginning of the war to the present, all he has received are casualty figures, and these three participating divisions are the main divisions of his 11th Army.

Just when Okamura Ninji was about to give the order to abandon this battle plan, he suddenly received a telegram that the 16th Division had changed its plan, and they were preparing to outflank Qi Rui's back by ship!

Okamura looked at the map, went to the sand table again, and marked the locations of the Wolf's Head Army, the 74th Army, the 18th Army, and the 133rd and 134th Divisions, and simulated the situation after the 16th Division landed.

"Yo Xi! Immediately order the 4th Flying Group to air support the 16th Division! And ordered Inaba Shiro to rush to the right flank of Qi Rui's wolf-headed army with the third division! The 9th Division and the Biochemical Corps will attack Qi Rui's team immediately after the 16th Division lands! ”

Originally, Okamura Ningji was going to give up, but from the actions of the 16th Division, he saw hope again, according to intelligence, the fruit army had no intention of sending reinforcements over, so now it is equal to Qi Rui's wolf head army, the 74th Army, the 18th Army, and the two divisions of the 27th Army are lone troops!

"General! Do you want to send some more troops over!? ”

"Let the cavalry rush over immediately!" Okamura Ninji left the cavalry to protect the chariot, and now it seems that the chariot is no longer needed, so there is no need to protect it.

The 16th Division took a ship and wanted to land Qi Rui again, do you know? He really knew, because he left scouts on the shore of the lake to prevent the devils from taking the back road.

When he learned that another devil's ship appeared, Qi Rui immediately ordered all the Guo troops to withdraw to Nanchang, because they were not needed for the next battle.

Qi Rui asked the White Russian Cavalry, the Lone Wolf Brigade, the Black Wind Village, the Nine Dragons Village, and the Wolf Tooth Ghost Cavalry to all hurry up to meet Tong Lin and them, and then let them return to Huangshan immediately.

Qi Rui only left behind the special combat team, the Blood Wolf Special Combat Team and some soldiers of the Blood Wolf Guerrilla Brigade, because he was going to complete his main battle plan next!
