In the position leading to the First Army, within less than a hundred meters, a large number of devil corpses fell to the ground. It's either been blown to char or it's blazing.

As for the stumps and broken arms, broken hands and feet are everywhere, and the charred land is a mess.

Just now it was suddenly bombarded, and at this moment the devils were still frightened, and rushed towards the position of the First Army with their waists bent. Stepping on the corpses of those dead comrades, there was a creepy cracking sound under his feet.

When they approached the position of the First Army twenty meters, all the devils who were advancing fell down in unison, and their heads were almost buried in the ground. They were really scared, and the First Army had shelled and burned them before, and grenades were constantly falling from the sky. Even if these devils are elites, most of them are elites who have never been on the battlefield, how can they withstand this kind of terrifying torture.

"Hurry up, move forward, what are you doing slowly, hurry up" The roar of some officers sounded in the rear of the Japanese army, and when they saw that the troops in front of them had slowed down, they almost took their guns and forced them forward.

The devil who rushed in front was helpless, so he could only start a charge with a hard head and a shout. But when they jumped into the position of the First Army, they saw not even a corpse except for blood all over the ground.

"Did the people run away?" After a long time, a devil finally reacted.

Suddenly there was the cheers of the devils everywhere, and they arrogantly thought that the First Army had been defeated by them and fled.

"Sir, the people of China have fled, leaving a position behind, and the whole army has been defeated!" In the rear of the Japanese army, a devil staff officer ran over quickly and happily reported to Ubonami.

"You're a happy fart!" Ubonami scolded with a slashed face: "Our goal is to annihilate all the Chinese troops, not to let them run away!" They're gone, and they're still capable of fighting us, so what are you happy about? ”

The devil staff officer who reported was stunned on the spot for a while, not knowing what to do.

Ubonami sighed heavily, how could something that a high-ranking officer like them was thinking could be guessed by a low-ranking officer.

"Order the troops to immediately pursue the Shina army, and be sure to stop them. Now that they have run out of position, they are disqualified from fighting us. Our large forces will immediately catch up, surround them, and finally destroy them! Ubonami said sternly: "Order the troops to pursue at full speed, whoever dares to slack off, kill on the spot!" ”

"Hay!" The reported devil staff officer immediately turned and left.

Ubonami himself did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to his headquarters, he wanted to report the situation here to his immediate boss Yoshishi Okubo as soon as possible.

After sending the telegram to the headquarters, Ubonami did not wait for Okubo Yoshishi to call back, and immediately led all the forward troops to pursue the First Army. He knew that he had to race against time at this time, otherwise it would be easy for the First Army to escape.

Ten kilometers away from the forward troops, the main forces of Okubo Yoshishi are all staying here. They did not rest in place, but were always ready to go, and if there was a need at the front, they would immediately march in all of them.

Ubonami's telegram was quickly delivered to Okubo's hand, and Okubo read it coldly, and the corners of his mouth immediately showed a contemptuous smile.

"Zhina people, it's really not good! The resistance was indeed stubborn, but our army was all replaced by elite troops with new equipment. How can you, the people of China, be able to stop the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army! Okubo directly tore up the telegram and sprinkled it into the sky with a smile.

"Your Excellency, General Ubonami has already led his army to pursue the Shina troops. The defeated Shina troops should have an army, and they won't suffer, right? A devil staff officer said hesitantly.

"It's going to be a loss!" Okubo Yoshiha laughed: "This trick of the Shina people has been tried and tested repeatedly, pretending to evacuate, and then setting traps elsewhere, waiting for our troops to send them to the door by themselves. Hahahaha, this trick is really easy to fool, but unfortunately, they ran into my Okubo Yoshi! ”

A devil officer asked strangely, "Your Excellency, how did you know that there would be an ambush for the people of China?" They were defeated! ”

Okubo snorted coldly: "Do you think that I came here to fight against the Shina troops, and I haven't studied their previous battles?" I have studied some classic operations of the People's Liberation Army, and this time is no exception! ”

"They didn't panic when they walked, and the telegram just said that there was not even a body left, indicating that they were ready to evacuate. And all of a sudden there was a lot of artillery fire on our troops, helping them to escape. This is also a powerful indication that there is also a main army of the PLA lying in ambush on the flank. That PLA unit is the real main force. The army that fought with Ubonami and them before was just a decoy. ”

"If I'm guessing correctly, at the moment Ubonami is jumping into a trap prepared for him with his army. Countless people are sharpening their swords, and they are ready to slaughter our imperial army! Okubo said with a smile.

After he finished saying this, the devils around him were all shocked. Someone immediately asked, "Then it's time for us to inform General Ubonami, since it's a trap, don't drill it!" ”

"Don't notify, we're going to do it!" Okubo Yoshihaha laughed and said, "Without Ubonami's troops to draw out the main force of the Shina people, how can we achieve the goal of total annihilation?" ”

"Order the whole army to outflank from the left and right flanks, and the people of China will set a trap, and we will also surround it. I'm going to see who can eat whom! Okubo's eyes burst with a cold glow.

A few minutes later, the main forces of the Japanese army divided into two parts and moved quickly to the left and right flanks. At this moment, they have penetrated deep into the border area, and it will not be long before they reach the border of Shanxi. All the devils were cautious, for fear of being ambushed by the People's Liberation Army on the way.

By this time, the First Army, which had withdrawn from its positions, had successfully joined forces with the Second Army.

Gao Dong and Hu Xinghan went straight to the headquarters of the Second Army, and Huang Youde had already been waiting for them with people.

"Is everything ready?" As soon as they met, Gao Dong immediately asked.

"Ready!" Huang Youde said with certainty: "The Sixth Army and the reinforced division are already preparing on both sides, and as soon as the devils chasing you arrive, they will immediately surround them!" ”

"It's enough to fight a dozen, the main force of the devils will definitely arrive soon. If we were surrounded, all plans would be lost! Gao Dong reminded.

"They all know this, we just parted half an hour ago!" Huang Youde nodded.

"The troops who reported the devil are coming" At this moment, an officer hurriedly came to the headquarters to report.

"Just in time!" Gao Dong laughed and said, "The faster they pursue, the more time we have to retreat." Order the troops, immediately surround them on all sides, and withdraw immediately after consuming part of the devil's strength! ”

"Yes!" Hu Xinghan and Huang Youde saluted in unison.

A large number of devils quickly chased after them in the direction of the retreat of the First Army, and the area where they were located at this time was the blockhouse defense belt of the former Central China Dispatch Army. There are still many remains of the bunkers on the ground, and although the area has been cleared, most of the bunkers have remained. From a distance, it looks like you've entered a labyrinth.

However, these are not in the eyes of the pursuing devils at all, they just want to catch up with the First Army as soon as possible, and then completely destroy them.

Boom boom Suddenly, the cannon rumbled. The vanguard units of the Japanese army were violently and indiscriminately bombarded, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

The rear troops immediately stopped their advance and fell on their stomachs, ready to search for the enemy's location. But as soon as they stopped, heavy artillery fire rang out from both the left and right flanks.

Frightened, Ubonami jumped off the command car, and before he could go far, his command car was blown up into the sky by a round of artillery fire.

"Your Excellency General, we are surrounded by the Shina people, this is a trap" The panicked voices of his subordinates sounded in Ubonami's ears.

He cheered up, lay on the ground and roared: "Don't panic, let the troops hide first." There is nothing to be afraid of being surrounded, our large forces will soon arrive. Let the troops build defenses on the spot to resist the attack of the Chinese troops! ”

"Hay!" A group of devils roared frantically, crawling to convey Ubonami's orders.

Protected by the guards, Ubonami quickly crawled to a safe place that could not be covered by artillery fire.

His troops had already begun to be chaotic, and the artillery fire from all directions had blown people into fear, and many of the new recruits who were entering the battlefield for the first time were even frightened into tears, despairing that the moment had come to an end.

Gao Dong kept pinching his watch behind the position until twenty minutes had passed, and he immediately said to the heralds who were standing beside him waiting for orders: "Inform all troops and retreat immediately." Don't delay the time, use their fastest speed, retreat to Shijiazhuang! ”

"Yes!" All the herald officers turned and left.

Gao Dong tightened the elastic belt on his chest, and said to Lin Fan and the others on the side: "Now there is one last thing left, and we should also act!" ”

"Captain, I've been waiting for a long time with itchy hands!" Tang Wei and Jensen laughed, their eyes showing anticipation at the same time.

Just as Ubonami was anxiously waiting for reinforcements to arrive, the artillery fire that bombarded them suddenly stopped. The sudden silence around was frightening, giving the illusion that it had just been shelled.

Ubonami raised her head slowly, if it weren't for the smoke around her, she would really think that all this was just an illusion.

"Are the Shina going to attack?" Ubonami looked around nervously. But there was no noise around at all, and the shadow of half of the People's Liberation Army appeared.

Fifteen minutes later, Okubo's main forces arrived. They did not surround even a single PLA, but instead saw Ubonami's troops lying on the ground in disarray, gathering in a small area to form a defensive circle.

"What about the Chinese troops? Where did the Chinese troops go? Okubo was furious at the moment, and his guesses were all in vain, which inevitably made him very ugly in front of his subordinates.

"Your Excellency, the people of China were all evacuated ten minutes before we arrived. Probably knew that they were going to be surrounded, so they went in a hurry, and a lot of equipment was left behind! ”

Soon, Okubo received a report from his subordinates.

"Chase, immediately pursue the whole line. They must not be let go, and all the people of China must be annihilated! "Yoshiyoshi Okubo has been completely enraged at the moment!
