After Li Yunlong received the telegram from Ding Wei and Kong Jie, he learned that the main force of the devils from the Ueno Division had begun to attack Ding Wei and Kong Jie southward.

Li Yunlong sneered and said: "These little devils who don't know how to live or die actually go south to attack, but when you attack south, don't you forget me?"

"Humph~!"

"That old man is like air!"

Xing Zhiguo said: "We have confirmed with Ding Wei and Kong Jie again that the main force of the little devils has indeed gone south to attack them."

"It is estimated that there are several thousand troops, all of which are the main force, and they have already retreated to the south. The little devil has chased them for more than ten miles, and they are still continuing to attack south."

"Judging from the scale of the attack, the little devil is playing for real this time."

Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "In that case, let's have fun with them."

"We have to come to Ueno Chuanshu to understand a truth. Now how to fight this battle is no longer up to him."

"We can't just watch! We have to take some pressure off our old buddy anyway."

Xing Zhiguo said: "The troops in the Central Hebei region have withdrawn westward from our defense zone north of Xingtai, and have now retreated to a relatively safe area."

"It's just that the Guangtian Division came from the east. If we attack Xingtai at this time, the Guangtian Division will definitely come after us."

Li Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid they won't come!"

"We, Li Yunlong, are not afraid of fighting now, but we are afraid that there will be no war to fight."

Hearing this, Xing Zhiguo smiled slightly and said, "It seems that you have another plan this time?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Hey~! Then we have to see if the little devil cooperates."

"Immediately order the troops to attack Guanzhuang with all their strength!"

Xing Zhiguo said: "I understand! I'll arrange it now."

Under Li Yunlong's order, the Xinyi Regiment immediately mobilized its main force and rushed straight to Guanzhuang.

A large number of Eighth Route Army troops arrived at the outskirts of Guanzhuang, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Guanzhuang.

The artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was quite fierce, and the artillery shells hit the Guanzhuang devil's position one after another, causing the scorched earth to fall into the artillery fire again.

Ueno Chuanshu was worried that Li Yunlong would attack Xingtai before, so he transferred the main force of Guanzhuang back to Xingtai to protect Xingtai's safety.

So now there are not many little devils left in the vicinity of Guanzhuang. All together, there are only about [-] troops.

When the main force of the Eighth Route Army approached Guanzhuang, the little devil turned pale with fright, and quickly retracted his line of defense, preparing to defend Guanzhuang to the death.

At the same time, the telegram for help was sent to the headquarters of the Ueno Division as quickly as possible.

After Ueno Chuanshu heard the news, he couldn't help but frowned, and cursed: "Baga Yalu, these abominable Tubalu really don't let people stop for a moment."

The little devil officer next to him hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency, calm down. I think it is because the imperial army attacked south, and the enemy army felt the pressure, so they chose to attack us from the north to contain our troops."

Ueno Chuanshu thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right, but we don't have any extra troops now."

A ghost officer next to him reminded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Guangtian Division is chasing the enemy in Jizhong. It is not too far away from the Ping-Han Railway Line. You can ask them for help."

Ueno Kawaki couldn't help but blushed. After all, he was the head of a division, and asking for help from another division was really not something to show his face.

But at this time, I can't care about these.

A devil officer next to him persuaded: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is the end of the matter, and this is the only way..."

Ueno Chuanshu sighed helplessly, and said, "Immediately send a telegram to Mr. Hirota, asking them to reinforce Guanzhuang."

"Hay!"

A ghost officer next to him quickly responded, and turned around to deliver the order.

The telegram quickly reached the headquarters of the Hirota Division.

At this moment, Kotaro Hirota is losing his temper in the headquarters.

They were ordered to pursue the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong, but after fighting for so long, they never achieved decent results.

But now, the main force in Jizhong has escaped.

This made Hirota Kotaro feel ashamed, so the old devil was furious at the headquarters at the moment, scolding the officers under him for their incompetence.

However this has no effect.

At this time, a devil staff officer walked over quickly and said, "Report to Your Excellency, Division Chief, I just received a telegram from His Excellency Ueno Division Commander."

"A telegram for help?" Kotaro Hirota was slightly taken aback.

The devil's staff officer continued: "Yes, the enemy is attacking Guanzhuang now, and the Ueno Division has insufficient troops. Please give us emergency tactical guidance."

Kotaro Hirota thought of the fact that the Ueno Division had suffered successive defeats, and lost soldiers and generals. It could be said that he was ashamed and thrown home, and he immediately felt better.

Because compared to the Ueno Division, their Hirota Division performed much better.

At least he was not defeated by the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, Ueno Kawaki now took the initiative to send him a telegram asking for help, which also made Hirota Kotaro feel a little gloating about his misfortune, and he felt better immediately.

And thinking of the Eighth Route Army, they didn't escape yet, and they dared to attack Guanzhuang.

Kotaro Hirota walked quickly to the front of the map and stared at it for a while.

A ghost officer next to him pointed to the map and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is Guanzhuang. It was originally an unknown town, but the Ping-Han Railway passed through here and a station was built in the town, which made it possible to go to the town. The town has become more prosperous."

"This is the only way to Xingtai, so it has become a strategic place now."

Hirota Kotaro nodded slightly, and said, "Yaoxi, why did Tubalu attack Guanzhuang at this time?"

A ghost commander said: "The Ueno division has been ordered to attack south from Xingtai. According to the plan of the headquarters, they will cooperate with Gaocheng and Sasaki divisions in an attempt to intercept the enemy's main force in the southeast of Hebei."

Kotaro Hirota nodded slightly, and said, "So in order to reduce the pressure on the southern front, the Eighth Route Army chose to attack Guanzhuang to disperse the troops of the Ueno Division."

"But Ueno Hiroki has no soldiers to send, so he can only ask us for help."

"Hayi! Your Excellency, division commander, is wise." A devil officer said respectfully.

Kotaro Hirota said with a serious face: "This is a good opportunity for us."

"What do you think?"

A ghost commander said: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, is very right. If we seize this opportunity, we may be able to take the opportunity to wipe out part of the main force of the Eighth Route Army."
