    Because if he just stayed at the remote headquarters, although it was very safe, he would miss a lot of key battlefield intelligence.

    Bailong Valley is only a few kilometers long. In the valley, there is a stream covered with pebbles.  On both sides of the stream, there are many fallen rocks washed in from other places during heavy rains.

    On both sides, there are mountains with steep slopes, full of trees with withered leaves.

    "The enemy troops still have half an hour to arrive on the battlefield." Hu San said.

    Xia Yang nodded and said: "Okay, your guard battalion should also start to enter the combat position."

    Hu Sandao: "Yes, Master, I promise to complete the mission."

    Tatsuki Kusaba looked at the map. This map was drawn by the task force dispatched by the Japanese army to the Wutai Mountain area. During this large-scale sweep, these maps helped them a lot.

    ¡°At least they won¡¯t get lost in these undulating mountains like before, and they won¡¯t even be able to plan their marching route.

    "We will be able to arrive at the scheduled battle position as early as noon tomorrow. Today we passed Bailonggou and camped on the two mountains in front of Bailonggou." Tatsuki Kusaba pointed at the map.  "Order the vanguard troops to pass through Bailonggou first, and other troops will follow suit."

    "Yes, brigade commander." said the army staff officer of the 19th Brigade.

    They made almost no stops along the way, including the artillery units, traveling day and night.  Only during the previous lunch break did their soldiers have a brief rest.

    In total, in one whole day, they had traveled a full twenty kilometers in this mountain range.  Even for local mountain people, it may not be possible to travel such a long distance in one day.  What's more, these Japanese troops were not familiar with the terrain.

    But this is the scary thing about this army. Their super willpower is often surprising.

    In the later Pacific War, when the Japanese army attacked Southeast Asia, the infantry divisions, relying on the bicycles they recruited, were able to advance faster than the mechanized troops in the dense tropical rainforest.

    "Let's go!" Kusaba Tatsumi asked the soldiers to put away the map, then mounted his horse and continued to advance with the troops.

    The team of more than 7,000 people stretched for nearly two kilometers on the mountain ridge.  Like a long snake, clinging to the bare mountainside in winter.

    The leading troops of the 19th Brigade are the two squadrons of the 9th Regiment, with a combined strength of more than 500 troops.

    They were the first to arrive at Bailonggou. Their main purpose was to explore the path, and at the same time, they were also investigating the enemy's whereabouts to prevent the enemy from ambushing them here.

    After the two squadrons arrived here, they found that the road inside Bailonggou was much easier to walk than the rugged mountain roads they had traveled before.  Even trucks and tanks can be passed here.

    In this river valley with a width of more than 300 meters, two squadrons of the Japanese army were scattered on both sides of the stream. While marching, they opened fire on the mountains on both sides to conduct fire reconnaissance.

    On the top of the leaf-covered hillside, the soldiers of the Fourth Division were hiding in simple trenches, waiting for the order to attack without saying a word.  Above their heads, bullets used by the Japanese army for reconnaissance fire hit the fallen leaves from time to time, causing the withered yellow leaves to fly up.

    "Two enemy squadrons are passing by, do you want to intercept them?" A soldier ran to Xia Yang and asked.

    Xia Yang said calmly: "These are small fish, let them go and wait for the big fish behind."

    "Yes, Master."

    The two squadrons of the Japanese army marched in this flat valley for more than 20 minutes before reaching the end.  In front of them were two mountains, standing on both sides of the valley like the gods of war guarding the valley.

    Those two mountains are less than two kilometers away from the river valley, but if they want to get there, they don't have the flat roads in Bailonggou to walk on. They also need to walk on some rugged mountain roads, which will take at least an hour.  Able to reach the foot of those two mountains.

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we have left the Bailonggou Valley and have found no trace of the enemy. We are now heading towards the two mountains directly in front of Bailonggou." The squadron leader of the Japanese vanguard used a walkie-talkie to call  Caochang Chenjihui, commander of the 19th Brigade behind Bailonggou, reported.

    After receiving the news here, Tatsumi Kusaba immediately ordered the troops in the rear: "The troops quickly passed through the Bailonggou Valley and entered the mountains ahead."

    Ten minutes later, Xia Yang sawOn the mountainside, large groups of Japanese troops appeared in rows in front of Bailonggou.

    After they walked out of those rugged mountain roads, they immediately divided into two teams and marched on both sides of the stream.

    Although they marched for a long time, their pace was still neat and their formation was maintained well.  Xia Yang looked at the Japanese troops, as if they were fish caught in a fishing net, and he was the fisherman, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

    "The big fish are beginning to enter the net. Let the soldiers prepare for battle. The main force of the enemy's 19th Brigade is here." Xia Yang said.

    The Japanese troops lined up in neat columns and entered Bailonggou with great momentum.  The troops coming out of the mountain road at the rear suddenly saw the spacious and flat Bailonggou in front of them. They also felt a sense of enlightenment and accelerated their pace.

    After traveling on a rugged, winding and narrow mountain road for a long time, suddenly walking on this flat and spacious road gave them an inexplicable sense of happiness.

    The atmosphere of the Japanese troops, who had been advancing silently, began to become slightly more lively at this time.  Some soldiers began to discuss whether there were fish in the flowing stream. If they could catch two of them and make soup to drink, it would taste great.

    They didn¡¯t know that at this time they had entered the ambush circle of the Fourth Division.  On the outskirts of this river valley, there is the main force of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, ready to encircle them and cut off their retreat at any time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
