Chapter 236: The Peace Brigade is Discovered
Daling Village forward command post.
Gundam used a telescope to see that a group had retreated to the second line of defense.
His eyes were focused, observing every detail on the battlefield.
After putting down the telescope, he turned to Li Yunlong and said, "Old Li, the Japanese from the 102nd Division have occupied the first line of defense. Notify the second and third regiments on the other two lines of defense to retreat as well.
We must create an illusion of defeat for the Japanese so that they will let down their guard and launch a full-scale attack.
The Ping An Brigade and the 386th Brigade will soon arrive at the designated location. After they launch the attack, the Independent Brigade will immediately launch a fierce counterattack against the devils. "
His voice was steady as he issued combat orders.
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, Commander. I will notify the other two regiments immediately."
He turned and walked over to the communicator.
“Contact the Second and Third Regiments immediately.
Let them abandon their positions and retreat to the second line of defense."
After hearing Li Yunlong's instructions, the communicator immediately took action.
He operated the communication equipment skillfully and conveyed the command from the headquarters.
As the command was issued from the headquarters, the soldiers of the 2nd and rd Regiments of the Independent Brigade quickly retreated to the second line of defense.
They moved quickly and without any panic.
The attacking Japanese soldiers found that the Eighth Route Army had actually begun to retreat, and the Japanese officers shouted excitedly:
"Warriors of the Empire, launch an attack and capture the enemy's position."
"Don't let them get away. Chase them."
"Kill the chicken and give it to me."
His voice was full of greed, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to expand his victory.
Countless Japanese soldiers, led by officers, rushed towards the positions frantically.
Their figures surged like a tide, with great momentum.
As the Japanese successively occupied the front-line positions, Hasegawa in the rear kept receiving good news from the front, and his mood became particularly happy.
"Yoshi."
"The soldiers of the Empire are amazing. I didn't expect that they could occupy the entire outer defense line of the Eighth Route Army at the same time."
A smug smile appeared on his face, and he was satisfied with the performance of the troops.
"Order the troops to rest immediately and launch a full-scale attack this afternoon to encircle the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop."
He decisively issued the next battle plan.
"Hai."
The Japanese adjutant responded and quickly went to convey Hasegawa's order.
At this time, the chief of staff beside him reminded: "Division Commander, don't you think there is something fishy about this?
Based on my understanding of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible for them to give up their positions so easily, let alone give up two positions at the same time. They must have a conspiracy. "
There was vigilance in his eyes and he was suspicious of the actions of the Eighth Route Army.
Hasegawa said confidently: “Chief of Staff, don’t worry.
All conspiracies are paper tigers in the face of absolute strength.
I have the confidence to lead the 102nd Division to destroy the Eighth Route Army troops in front of us."

the other side.
The Ping An Brigade of the Independent Column marched quickly in the mountainous area.
Their figures were like ghosts moving through the mountains and forests, fast and stealthy.
They had run nearly 16 kilometers in more than three hours. All the soldiers were exhausted and out of breath, and every step they took was very heavy.
There was fatigue on their faces, but determination in their eyes.
Kong Jie was also very sad to see this situation, but time was running out and he had to get to Huangtuling on time.
He stood in the middle of the team and shouted loudly: "Comrades, we are only 4 kilometers away from Huangtuling. Come on, run faster."
"We must block the Japanese 102nd Division at Huangtuling and wipe them out."
After hearing Kong Jie's words, the soldiers couldn't help but quicken their pace again.
Although they were very tired, they still ran forward desperately. Everyone had only one belief in their hearts, and that was to surround and destroy the 102nd Division.

at the same time.
The Japanese planes that took off from Taiyuan Airport were flying at full speed towards Heyuan County.
In the sky, a flying formation consisting of 10 fighters and 5 bombers was flying at high speed in the altitude.
The Japanese flight captain ordered on the radio channel: "All pilots, please pay attention, we are about to arrive over Heyuan County. Planes 4 to 8 will immediately leave the formation and advance at full speed to search for the enemy's artillery positions over Daling Village first."
His voice was steady as he issued combat orders.
"Roger, understood."
The pilot's response came over the radio.
After receiving the order, the Japanese pilots drove four fighter planes out of the formation and advanced at full speed.
They moved quickly, flying towards their target.
A few minutes later.
Four fighter jets quickly arrived over Daling Village and then began to conduct reconnaissance in the surrounding areas.
Their figures circled in the sky, looking for their targets.
A Japanese fighter plane was conducting reconnaissance in the direction of the Ping An Brigade.
The fighter jets were flying at high speed in the sky, and the Japanese pilots suddenly discovered signs of large-scale military activities in the mountains.
There was surprise in his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on.
On the ground, Kong Jie saw the Japanese fighter planes in the sky and shouted:
"Hide quickly, hide."
"There are Japanese planes in the sky."
A large number of whistles immediately sounded among the marching troops.
When the soldiers heard the whistle, they quickly ran into the woods nearby.
They moved quickly, looking for cover.
The Japanese pilot was not sure whether there were any troops below, so he quickly dived down in his fighter jet, trying to see the situation on the ground clearly.
As they got closer to the ground, the Japanese pilots discovered the Ping An Brigade troops on the ground.
He was immediately shocked. This location was close to the rear of the 102nd Division. Now a large force of the Eighth Route Army appeared here, and they must be planning a surprise attack on the 102nd Division.
The Japanese pilot immediately pulled up the fighter and turned on the radio channel.
"Reporting to the captain, a serious situation has been discovered.
A large force of the Eighth Route Army was spotted near Huangtuling. They were marching in the mountainous area and seemed to be planning to launch a surprise attack on the 102nd Division.
"Got it, understood. Keep a close eye on the actions of the Eighth Route Army." The Japanese flight squadron leader gave the order.
"Hai."
After receiving the order, the Japanese pilots circled their fighter jets over the Ping An Brigade and monitored its actions.
When Kong Jie saw the Japanese planes circling in the sky, he knew that the whereabouts of the Ping An Brigade had been exposed and they had to march quickly to reach their combat target.
He quickly ordered: "Everyone, pay attention and march quickly.
Our position has been exposed, and we must rush to Huangtuling as quickly as possible."
