The Japanese artillery fire lasted for twenty minutes.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, Li Yunlong immediately shouted into the dilapidated cave dwelling: "Lao Kong, how is the straw man's treatment?"

Kong Jie immediately ran up to Li Yunlong and smiled: "It's almost done, what do you think?"

With that said, he placed a straw man as ugly as himself in front of Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong was startled by him and nodded with a strange expression.

"That's it. Even if the kid doesn't fall for the trick, he will probably be frightened when he sees this straw man. This thing is just like you, it can ward off evil spirits at night!"

Kong Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, but didn't say anything.

After all, we were pressed for time, so the straw man was really ugly.

"Old Li, don't be a toad and dislike frogs. Hurry up, where are you going to put these straw men?"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "In the small woods to the west of our current location, remember to look for something every few meters away and cover it!"

Kong Jie nodded and immediately led a battalion of soldiers towards the place Li Yunlong said.

On the other side, Isamu Hiragakuo, who had just directed the artillery bombardment, looked at the almost ruined hillside in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Kasahara-kun, I have told you before, how could Tubalu be ambushing you here? Your worries are unnecessary!"

"Our artillery fire was so fierce, if they were here, they would have been blown to pieces!"

However, the worry on Kasahara Koizumi's face did not disappear, but became more solemn.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Chinese are very cunning. If they are not ambushing here, they must have other plans. We must not take it lightly!"

Hiragakuo Yufu snorted coldly: "Kasahara-kun, I have just contacted the Taiyuan headquarters. It is estimated that the imperial plane will arrive in a few minutes!"

As soon as Isamu Hiragaku finished speaking, the roar of an engine came from above their heads.

Hiraboku Yongfu laughed: "Did you see it? We're here just now! Let them bomb it. Even if there is an ambush on Tubal Road, they can't escape the aerial bombing!"

All the Japanese shouted at the plane flying overhead: "Long live, long live, long live..."

...

On the plane, Milu Kuan, captain of the 16th Brigade of the Japanese Third Flying Group, picked up the radio in his hand.

"This is the place your Excellency Pinglu said? Prepare for coverage bombing!"

However, just as Milunkuan finished speaking, a Japanese voice came over the radio.

"Your Majesty, Major, there seems to be a large number of people in the woods to the southeast of us. Although we can't see clearly, judging from the color of their clothes, they should be on Tubal Road!"

Milunkuan sneered: "Since it is Tubal Road, then focus on bombing this area immediately!"

After Sanlun Kuan finished speaking, twenty planes immediately flew toward the southeast and dropped bombs at the same time.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The shells fell like meteorites.

The dust kicked up knocked all the scarecrows that Kong Jie had placed here to the ground.

The flames generated by the explosion instantly set the forest on fire.

Isamu Hiragaku looked at the fire soaring into the sky in the distance and laughed almost maniacally.

"Kasahara-kun, it turns out that your worries are unnecessary. Under the bombing of the empire's planes, I am afraid that Tubal Road must have been blown into a pile of meat!"

Kasahara Koizumi swallowed, and the sad look on his face gradually relaxed.

Under such a near-carpet bombing, let alone Tubal Road, even the steel torrent composed of tanks would probably not be able to escape unscathed.

Just when everyone thought that the entire Tubal Army was wiped out, the Japanese Chief of Staff quickly walked up to Hirakata Yongfu.

"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, news just came from the reconnaissance team that we found a fleeing Tubal Road team in the south!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Hiragaku Yuongfu, and he sneered: "We have killed all their large troops, how big a storm can these defeated soldiers still cause!"

"Kasahara-kun, lead your troops to annihilate these defeated generals immediately!"

"Hai!" After Kasahara Koizumi agreed, he immediately led the 22nd Regiment and ran in the direction the Japanese staff officer said.

Kasahara Koizumi had just left, Hiragakuo Yufu turned to look at the Japanese chief of staff behind him and said with a serious face.

"Order! The tank troops follow closely the 22nd Regiment, the heavy artillery troops deploy immediately, and the rest of the troops are ready to attack and provide assistance at any time! Today, we must completely annihilate these Tubal troops!"

"Ha Yi!" the Japanese chief of staff responded and took the order!

On another hillside, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan looked behind him and said.

"Political Commissar, let's hide here. The little devil seems to have lost track of us now. Do you want me to ask the brothers to slow down a little?"

Zhao Gang shook his head: "It's too dangerous to slow down. Once the Japanese get close and drag us down, we'll be doomed."

"Notify the troops immediately and shoot to attract the Japanese. Remember, just attract the Japanese, don't get entangled with them!"

Chen Quan nodded, then stood up and fired a shot in the direction of the Japs.

The moment the gunfire rang out, Kasahara Koizumi, who was following Zhao Gang and others, immediately shouted.

"The gunfire rang out from over there. Where are the Chinese troops? Rush up and kill them immediately!"

A large number of Japanese troops immediately changed direction and rushed towards Zhao Gang.

When Zhao Gang saw this scene, he snorted coldly: "The little devils took the bait, retreat, and lead them to the place where the deputy brigade commander and his friends are ambushing."

Shen Quan nodded, then ran away.

While running, they did not forget to shoot, for fear that the Japanese would not be able to find them.

On a hillside not far from the Japanese bombing zone, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led their troops to ambush here.

"Old Li, will the kid fall into the trap? Why do I feel that Political Commissar Zhao's mission this time is quite dangerous?"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly: "How can there be no danger in fighting? You must believe in Lao Zhao."

Suddenly, someone yelled: "Deputy brigade commander, it's Political Commissar Zhao and the others, and behind them are the little iron bastards!"

Li Yunlong took out his own gun and snorted coldly: "Old Zhao and the others have lured the Japanese over. Notify the brothers to prepare for battle."

"Don't even spare me the high-explosive grenades. Throw them all at me as soon as the Japs get close. You are the iron bastard who specializes in blowing up Japs!"

"Yes!" Everyone accepted the order.

A moment later, Zhao Gang led the Second Battalion to the encirclement set by Li Yunlong, but they did not stop and quickly passed through.

"Damn Tubalu, he ran so fast!"

Kasahara Koizumi cursed angrily and pointed the command knife in his hand in the direction where Zhao Gang and others were escaping!

All the Japanese soldiers sped up like wild dogs.

"beat!"

Seeing the Japanese who had entered the encirclement, Li Yunlong shouted and instantly pulled the trigger in his hand.

"boom!"

There was a gunshot, and a Japanese soldier who was about to shoot Zhao Gang fell to the ground.

The blood mixed with his brain and flowed out like a watermelon exploding.

At the moment when Li Yunlong fired, all the Eighth Route Army soldiers threw out the high-explosive grenades in their hands.

Taking advantage of the terrain, the high-explosive grenade drew an arc in the air and then exploded among the Japs crowd.

The violent explosion blew the group of devils away instantly.

At the same time, the deep pit created by the explosion also trapped the Japanese Iron Bastard into it.

Although these deep pits did not trap the Japanese tanks, they also greatly blocked the tanks' progress.

"No, it's a Chinese trap. We've fallen into it!"

Kasahara Koizumi reacted instantly and shouted desperately.

However, it was too late.

The Eighth Route Army on both sides of the hillside opened fire at the same time, and there were tanks behind them blocking their way, putting them in a dilemma.

"Fire! Fire towards Tubal Road and them!"

A tank approaching him slowly raised its muzzle and pointed it in the direction of Li Yunlong and the others.

However, before the enemy in the tank had time to load the shell into the barrel, a high-explosive grenade landed on its tracks.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and the track of the tank was instantly blown into two pieces.

The huge explosion of the high-explosive grenade even leaked the tank's fuel tank, and sparks immediately spread.

Before the enemy in the tank could open the hatch, the tank was detonated.

The air wave generated by the explosion directly lifted Kasahara Koizumi several meters away into a deep pit created by the explosion.

Just when Kasahara Koizumi was about to get up, a high-explosive grenade fell next to him.

Before Kasahara Koizumi could react, the grenade next to him immediately blew him into pieces.

Isamu Hiragaku, who was following the rear of the 22nd Regiment, heard the explosions and gunshots coming from the front, his pupils dilated.
