At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, everyone was busy at this time.

Everyone was in a hurry, with nervousness written all over their faces.

This large-scale raid by the Japanese has never happened before.

Moreover, according to intelligence, the Japanese mobilized a large number of mixed troops of Type A and Type B, equipped with artillery, tanks, and aircraft for support.

This can be said to be the biggest crisis the Eighth Route Army has faced since its establishment.

"Peng!"

In the headquarters, the boss slapped the table hard.

He said angrily: "Damn Yan Laoxi, he told us to seize the time to set up our defenses. But he didn't say a word about how the Jinsui Army could help us. I think they were clearly cowering and wanted to see us.

If you fight with the little devil, both sides will lose."

"The most hateful thing is that we asked him for supplies and equipment. Not only did he not give it to us, he also cut off the food that was supposed to be given to us. This old bitch actually said that he was afraid that the Japanese would intercept his grandma...

Ah, the devil is still far away from his logistics line!"

The chief of staff chuckled: "Boss, this kind of thing has long been commonplace. Yan Laoxi has always been like this, just get used to it. Now I have more urgent information to report to you!"

The boss frowned and turned to look at the chief of staff: "What? Do you know the kid's route of action?"

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded slightly and handed the telegram in his hand to the boss: "According to the information provided by comrades from Taiyuan, the Little Devils dispatched a total of two divisions, a brigade, and a detachment of 20,000 people this time.

There are three independent regiments! Among them, there are two Category A regiments, and their purpose is undoubtedly aimed at our Eighth Route Army headquarters."

"It's just that their march route this time is from Xiaohuangshan!"

The boss snorted coldly and slammed the telegram on the table: "I have been dealing with Yoshio Shinozuka for so many years. How can I not know what he thinks?"

"He suffered several losses at the hands of Li Yunlong and marched into Xiaohuangshan? I think he clearly wanted to take care of Li Yunlong along the way!"

The chief of staff turned to look at the boss: "Boss, the Xiaohuangshan now is not what it used to be. No matter what the purpose of Yoshio Shinozuka is, Xiaohuangshan must not be lost!"

The boss nodded. How could he not know what the chief of staff said?

In the past, he would never have sent two regiments of troops to garrison Xiaohuangshan, a place with little strategic value.

But things are different now. Most of the coal and iron in their arsenal now comes from Xiaohuangshan.

Once Xiaohuangshan falls into the hands of the Japanese, it will be a crushing blow to them.

After thinking for a moment, the boss turned to look at the commander of the 386th Brigade and said: "You should go back and mobilize the troops immediately, and be ready to support Li Yunlong and the others at any time. No matter what, Xiaohuangshan cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy!"

The brigade commander asked with some worry: "Boss, if we mobilize troops to support Li Yunlong, what will happen at the headquarters? There are more troops coming over from the Japanese side to mop up..."

The chief of staff stepped forward and said: "You don't have to worry about this. Our team has expanded a lot now. And we will not engage in positional warfare with the enemy. We should break it into parts according to the old rules and have a good fight with the Japanese!"

"Besides, as long as you can stop the two Japanese regiments in Xiaohuangshan, our headquarters will be safe! The main force of the Japanese will come to find you when the time comes. And on our side, we can also attack from everywhere and beat them.

It’s hard to take care of the front and back!”

The brigade commander nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and mobilize the troops now!"

After saying that, the brigade commander immediately turned around and walked towards the command room.

After the brigade commander left, the boss suddenly asked: "Where is Li Yunlong? They must seize the time to prepare!"

The chief of staff was stunned: "They don't seem to know the Japs' route yet!"

"Then you have to tell him about this, so that you don't have to be passive!"

After saying that, the boss turned around and picked up the phone, intending to remind Li Yunlong.

However, as soon as the call was connected, a strange voice came from inside.

The boss suddenly frowned and said angrily: "This is the headquarters, where is Li Yunlong? Let Li Yunlong answer the phone!"

On the other end of the phone, Huzi heard the boss's voice and said tremblingly: "Report to the boss, our deputy brigade commander has just led a large force out!"

The boss was stunned and asked quickly: "Going out? Doesn't Li Yunlong know what the situation is now? How dare he run out if he is not preparing for battle in the army at this time?"

"Where did he go? When will he come back?"

Huzi said helplessly: "Boss, I don't know either. The deputy brigade commander didn't tell me when he left."

As soon as Huzi finished speaking, the sound of the boss throwing something came from the other end of the phone, followed by a blind tone.

After hanging up the phone, the boss angrily scolded: "You damn Li Yunlong, at this point, this kid still dares to disappear after me. I won't punish him properly when he comes back!"

The staff officer sighed and said helplessly: "Boss, maybe Li Yunlong has his own plan."

The boss snorted coldly and stopped talking, but the anger in his eyes seemed to melt people.

On the other side, on a hillside just south of Xiaohuang Mountain.

Here, it is already more than fifty kilometers away from Xiaohuangshan.

Li Yunlong looked at the scenery in front of him with his hands behind his back, facing the wind, and couldn't help but sigh: If there were no little devils and no war, this place would be such a beautiful scenery!

Kong Jie, who was following him, couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this and said: "Say, Lao Li, you brought the troops here, didn't you want us to accompany you to see the scenery?"

"You are still here imitating other people's emotions. Do you think you are some kind of great poet?"

Zhao Gang said anxiously: "Old Li, if you want to see the scenery, after we finish fighting the Japanese, I can stay here with you all day and all night."

"But what time is it now? The Japanese army is approaching the border. You, the commander, don't line up your troops. Instead, you just sit here and watch the scenery. Is this appropriate?"

Li Yunlong turned around and smiled: "I said, you two are really embarrassing. Isn't this little devil not here yet? What's the use of being anxious? And you know so well that I haven't made preparations?"

Kong Jie sneered: "You have made ridiculous preparations. Since you received the news, in addition to inspecting the troop training, you have brought the troops here to drink northwest wind with you today. In addition, you have also done

Anything else?"

Li Yunlong pretended to hate iron and looked at Kong Jie.

"I said Kong Er is stupid, don't you still know what kind of person we, Lao Li, are? Although I have not sent troops to form a formation, I have a good strategy in mind to defeat the enemy!"

"Eh!" Kong Jie picked up his cigarette with a look of disgust on his face: "You still have a good plan to defeat the enemy? Do you think you are Zhuge Kongming? Are you still strategizing and winning a victory thousands of miles away?"

"If you, Li Yunlong, are so capable, how can you beat up the devils here? You are bragging and not drafting, what the hell are you talking about!"

However, as soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, a cloud of dust rose up not far away, and the sound of rushing horse hooves quickly approached them.

Zhao Gang and Kong Jie subconsciously turned around to look, but Li Yunlong chuckled, "Know yourself and your enemy and you will win every battle. Our cavalry is back!"

Zhao Gang was stunned: "Old Li, what do you mean? Have you sent cavalry to find out information?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said with a proud smile: "Old Zhao, you didn't expect that! The cavalry can also be used as scouts!"

At this moment, Sun Desheng had dismounted and came to Li Yunlong.

"Captain, we have found out clearly. According to the current marching speed of the Japanese, it will take more than half a day to reach here!"

Kong Jie and Zhao Gang suddenly understood and looked at Li Yunlong with a shocked expression: "Old Li, no wonder you brought the large army here, it turned out that you wanted to ambush the Japanese here!"

Li Yunlong nodded, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes: "The environment here is good, it can be used as a cemetery for little devils..."
