The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The leader of the devil division, Tanaka Jingyi, was also taken aback when he received this order. Isn't this tossing them?

Moreover, they have destroyed the military facilities inside and outside Yichang City, and set fire to the city. Now it is very difficult to defend if they fight back.

"Our 3rd Division has quickly turned back to Yichang from the Dangyang Highway, and will assist you in reoccupying Yichang." The Japanese staff officer of the 3rd Division said.

The head of the Devil's 13th Division who was fighting on the front line did not understand the orders of the base camp, because reoccupying Yichang would make their troops stretched and fall into a passive state.

But what he doesn't know is that internationally, after the German army has occupied Denmark, Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands, it is already launching a fierce attack on France and is about to capture Paris.

The devils base camp believes that the current international situation is extremely beneficial to them. When the German allies capture Paris, they should occupy Yichang, which is only 480 kilometers away from Chongqing, and put pressure on Chongqing to force China to surrender in order to completely solve the Chinese problem.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient troops to occupy Yichang, the devils have ordered the 4th Division of the Kwantung Army to go south today and be assigned to the 11th Army's battle order.

Text 370 Chapter [-] Comeback

After completing the task of fighting the fire in Yichang City, Yang Ling's Lie Yan Special Operations Brigade rushed directly to the headquarters of the 18th Army outside the city without taking a break.

Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, was busy directing his troops to pursue the devils. Hearing that Yang Ling asked to see him, he was also full of doubts.

However, read the information that Yangling provided them in time, saying that the devils were going to retreat, and they moved outside Yichang city in time, so that they could defeat Yichang in the shortest possible time.

Yang Ling was quickly taken to the military headquarters of the 18th Army. As soon as he entered the door, he could feel the cheerful atmosphere in the military headquarters. Everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

Not only have they regained Yichang now, but various troops are chasing the devils.

If they can defeat the devils, or wipe out a part of the devils, they will be able to turn defeat into victory, and maybe they will be able to add a lot of money to the credit book.

Compared with the excited staff officers, Yang Ling's expression was extraordinarily solemn, because he knew that the devil's abandonment of Yichang was only temporary, and they would make a comeback soon.

Once these chasing Chinese troops are negligent, they are likely to suffer another disastrous defeat, and countless Chinese officers and soldiers will be killed or injured in the battle.

"Commander Peng, I ask you to immediately order all troops to stop the pursuit."

Yang Ling knew that the devils would make a comeback soon, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly suggested to the army commander Peng Shan.

"Captain Yang may not be aware of the current situation when he is fighting fires in the city. The devils are already retreating hastily to the east. This is a great opportunity for our army to chase and wipe out the enemy. How can we stop the pursuit?" A combat staff officer laughed beside him. explain.

Commander Peng Shan also looked at Yang Ling suspiciously, not knowing why he ordered him to stop the pursuit.

"We captured a devil's prisoner just now. Through the devil's prisoner's confession, this is just a fake retreat by the devil. The purpose is to lure our army to attack and encircle and annihilate our army." Yang Ling casually made up a Lies, trying to convince the army commander Peng Shan.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Seeing that Yang Ling spoke very seriously, Army Commander Peng Shan suppressed the joy on his face.

"It's absolutely true. I would never dare to deceive Chief Peng." Yang Ling replied.

If it is really a conspiracy of the devils, once the devils launch a full-scale counterattack, it will be difficult for the troops that I have scattered to pursue now to resist the devils' counterattack.

After all, their 18th Army had already suffered heavy losses in previous battles, and it was okay to pursue the enemy while they were winning. Once they encountered a strong counterattack from the devils, they were likely to collapse. Thinking of this, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

But he didn't listen to Yang Ling's words. The devil is very cunning. If the captive devil told a lie and they stopped chasing him, wouldn't it be a waste of a great opportunity to chase down the enemy.

"Quickly dispatch a reconnaissance force to scout the devil's movements! Report any situation immediately!"

"At the same time, the units that are ordered to pursue must pay close attention to the actions of the devils to prevent them from counterattacking."

After hearing the order from the commander of the 18th army, Yang Ling knew that he hadn't attracted enough attention, and there was still a fluke mentality.

But he also knew that it was almost impossible for the 18th Army to give up the pursuit without receiving the forward investigation report based on his own words.

Because now not only the 18th Army is pursuing eastward, but the 77th Army and the 85th Army are also chasing and annihilating the devils from all directions.

But the other troops were flanking the devils. If the situation was not right, they could immediately retreat into the mountains and disengage from the devils' troops.

However, the 18th Army launched a pursuit directly from behind the devils. Once the devils bite back, with their current strength, they are no match for the devils at all.

Yang Ling also doesn't have enough evidence to convince the commander of the 18th Army. He will not give the real order to stop the pursuit until the reconnaissance report from the front line comes back.

But I'm afraid that by that time, the devils have already launched a counterattack against Yichang. At that time, it will not be a question of stopping the pursuit, but a question of retreat.

"Mr. Peng, I suggest sending troops to repair the positions outside the city immediately. Otherwise, when the devils counterattack and come back, we will have no danger to defend."

Because the devil had already destroyed many military facilities before leaving, and now no position is intact.

"Okay, I'll give you some civilian men, and you'll be responsible for their repairs outside the city. If the devils really come back, then I'll rely on you." Commander Peng Shan ordered after thinking for a while.

"Mr. Peng, we need a large amount of explosives. Can you send me some?"

"You go directly to the quartermaster and ask him to transfer it to you."

"Yes!"

After Yang Ling paid a military salute, he turned around and strode away.

When Yang Ling came out of the 18th Army's headquarters, the officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade surrounded him together.

"Sir, when do we start the pursuit?"

"That's right, let's go quickly, or we'll be late and we won't be able to drink the soup."

……

The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special War Brigade spent time fighting the fire in the city. Now that the devils have retreated, they hope to pursue them and beat the dogs in the water severely.

"I have already received news that the devils are only pretending to retreat this time, and they will fight back soon, so our task now is not to pursue, but to repair and strengthen the position immediately, and prepare for the devil's counterattack!"

"what?"

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the excited officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade all became serious.

"Damn, the devil is too cunning, I almost fell for the devil!"

"Okay, everyone, don't be dazed, hurry up and lead someone to repair the position."

"Zhang Tie!"

"Have!"

"Go to the 18th Army's Quartermaster Office and get explosives. You can get as much as you can, the more the better. Then make them into explosive bags for me and bury them on the road outside the city."

"Yes!"

Zhang Tie already understood Yang Ling's intentions. Once the devils counterattacked, these planted explosives would become their meeting gift.

The officers and soldiers of the Lieyan special warfare brigade acted quickly, and some of them commanded the civilians to repair the positions outside the city for emergencies.

There are also some people who are busy making explosives. Five-jin and ten-jin explosive packs have been made and buried on the roads leading to Yichang.
