Li Zihan put down his telescope and turned around and said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, the 3rd Battalion has been removed."

When Xu Shijiu heard this, he quickly sat up and raised his telescope to look out for the Yamaguchi ahead. Seeing that the 3rd Battalion had indeed retreated from the position. What made Xu Shijiu most happy was that the little Japanese bit the butt of the 3rd Battalion and chased him down, which shows that the 3rd Battalion's temptation was quite successful.

"Okay, this first step is a success." Xu Shijiu put down the telescope and said, "Little Japan has been mobilized by the 3rd Battalion, but the mission is still very serious. Little Japan is not stupid. If they don't beat them up, they may not chase them hard. Zihan and Lao Li, whether they can hold Takayo Fujido's bull's nose depends on you."

According to Xu Shijiu's plan, he first fought a blockade through the 3rd Battalion and brought in the Japanese, and then found a suitable location. The 1st Battalion and the 3rd Battalion cooperated with the 3rd Battalion to fight an ambush, so that the Japanese could suffer some losses and completely anger them. Only in this way can he hold the Japanese's nose and lead them around the deep mountains and forests.

"Old Xu, don't worry, since the little Japanese is here, don't think about going back."

"Captain, let's see what you want next."

Li Zihan, Li Shuanggun turned around and left after he finished speaking.

(Split Line)

After passing Huangyangao and going deeper into Erlong Mountain, there is no road to go.

The 14th Brigade of the Japanese Independence Mixed Brigade blocked Erlongshan for half a year. In the past six months, Takayo Fujido tried every means to recruit civilians to build hundreds of kilometers of simple highways, but he could not directly extend the highway into Erlongshan. First, it was because of the obstruction of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, and second, the project volume was too large.

Without roads, all vehicles can no longer move forward.

Fujido Gaoying left a brigade stationed in Huangyangao, responsible for guarding the baggage vehicles, and then led the remaining four infantry brigades, cavalry brigades, artillery brigades, engineers, military police brigades, and the Imperial Army Longkou Mixed Brigades, who cooperated with the cooperation. Although he knew that Xu Shijiu had some plans, Fujido Gaoying was not worried, because the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade had absolute strength advantages, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies would be futile.

Of course, all the mountain cannons in the artillery brigade were dismantled and carried into the mountain by pack horses.

After walking for more than ten miles of mountain road, he arrived near the Poison Dragon Valley. Tengdo Takayoshi saw that it was getting late and the terrain in front was extremely complicated, so he ordered his troops to camp on the spot and no longer walk forward.

After the order was issued, the Japanese army began to build fortifications on the spot. Four years have passed since the Sino-Japanese War broke out, but this fine tradition of Japan has never been abandoned. That is, whenever they are stationed in the camp, they will meticulously build fortifications. After stationing for more than three days, they can build a civil and industrial fortifications. If stationed for more than half a month, they will most likely build a permanent fortification.

People all say that the earthwork of the Eighth Route Army is very good. In fact, the earthwork of the Eighth Route Army is even more powerful than that of the Eighth Route Army, and the fortifications are much more formal. After all, most of the officers of the Eighth Route Army are from mud-legged backgrounds, while most of the officers of the Japanese graduated from the Army's non-commissioned school and systematically studied engineering.

Takayo Fujido placed four infantry brigades on the periphery, including cavalry, engineers, artillery and his brigade headquarters, hiding in the middle, and the Dragon-gu Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army of Yan Sanfu was placed at the front of the station by Takayo Fujido, who was responsible for thunder. The entire defense deployment was so difficult that needles could not be inserted or water could not be poured in.

On the first day of the confrontation, Takayo Fujido did not give Xu Shijiu any chance. Although the Japanese mobilization troops had already entered the mountain in large numbers, the distance between the various units was not widened, but they were firmly held together. Xu Shijiu couldn't find any way to chew on it. The ambush plan of the 1 camp and the camp could only be left alone.

However, Xu Shijiu still tried the night attack.

That night, Li Zihan and Li both carried one of them to launch a tentative night attack, but they were all driven back by the fire of the Japanese machine gun. Not only did they sacrifice more than a dozen brothers in vain, but even the outermost vigilance position of Japan could not break through, and the difference in strength was too great.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Shijiu had to decisively give up the night attack.

Early the next morning, the 3rd Battalion had already built simple fortifications in the Poison Dragon Valley, and once again put on a stance of being strictly guarded and gave the Japanese vanguard team a head-on blow.

Of course, the real purpose of the 3rd Battalion is to mobilize the Japanese, rather than really defending the Poison Dragon Valley.

After launching two tentative attacks, the 14th Battalion of the Independent Artillery had already built an artillery position, and then bombed the 3rd Battalion in the Poison Dragon Valley in a row. Two planes even flew over the Poison Dragon Valley, dropped two bombs, and then two more dive strafing.

Then, the 14th Brigade of Japan's Independence and Independent brigade invested the main force to launch a general attack.

Then, the 3rd Battalion once again gave up its position and retreated deeper into Erlong Mountain.

Less than half an hour after the 3rd Battalion evacuated, Takayo Fujido was already standing in the Poison Dragon Valley.

"Hanida Sang, do you see Xu Shijiu's conspiracy now?" Fujido Takayoshi turned around and asked Haneda.

Haneda nodded and said, "God General, I have seen that Xu Shijiu clearly resisted the enemy from the country's gates, trying to rely on defense to delay and consume the imperial army, and then fight the imperial army at the deepest part of Erlong Mountain."

"Resist the enemy from outside the country's gates, defend one after another? Slow down and consume the imperial army?" Fujido Takayoshi shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Although the imperial army has greater difficulties in fighting in mountainous areas, the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui is not much easier."

After a pause, Tengdo Gaoying continued: "What's more, the Imperial Army has sufficient materials and a smooth logistics support channel. Compared with the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, it has an absolute advantage in military strength. If it is purely for consumption, the first thing that cannot be sustained is the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, rather than the Imperial Army. Xu Shijiu cannot see this."

Haneda rarely had a different opinion and retorted: "Xu Shijiu may know this, but what can he do if he knows it? This time, the one who entered the mountain to sweep was not one or two infantry brigades, but a whole mixed brigade. Including the power of the Imperial Army's troops reaching more than 10,000 people, if Xu Shijiu still wants to defeat the Imperial Army by relying on the sparrow battle, it would be a delusion."

The 14th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Mixed Mixed Brigade has been stationed in southern Anhui for more than two years, and has fought with the New Fourth Army guerrillas in various counties, so they are already quite familiar with the sparrow tactics. The sparrow battle is indeed unpredictable, but under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army to reversal the adverse situation with the sparrow tactics.

To put it bluntly, the implementation of the Sparrow War requires a long-term process, which requires years of continuous harassment, and then a small victory can be accumulated to a big victory, and finally the power can be shown. However, at present, it is impossible for the independent 14th Brigade to give the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army enough time.

The night attack like last night was impossible to cause any substantial damage to the 14th Independent Mixed Brigade, so Haneda asserted that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wanted to keep the enemy out of the country and consume the strength of the Japanese army through defensive measures.

"Hanida Sang, things are probably not that simple." Fujido Takayoshi still didn't see this way, but he couldn't think of Xu Shijiu's exact intention.

To put it bluntly, in terms of the current gap in strength between the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui and the 14th Independent Brigade, Xu Shijiu's wisest choice is to lead the troops to decisively give up Erlong Mountain and move to Qingyang County, rather than resisting stubbornly, and should not attempt to crush this large-scale mobilization.

Of course, even if Xu Shijiuzhen gave up Erlong Mountain and chose to move to Qingyang County, Tengdo Gaoying would never let the southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army go easily. He had already had the right plan.

The next day, we spent the peace again, and no large-scale battle broke out between the two sides.

Then it was the third day, the fourth day... Although the Japanese advanced slowly, it finally advanced to Heilong Village on the evening of the sixth day. Of course, before the Japanese came, Xu Shijiu had moved his headquarters away, and all Japanese got was an empty village.
