As the Japanese slowed down, they reached Chen Village in the evening. According to the order of Cao Chang Chen, the Japanese stopped temporarily.
At this time, Cao Changchen was already afraid and did not dare to continue marching at night. Moreover, they had been on the road for a day, and it was time for the troops to rest.
Furthermore, with more than ten thousand troops, the formation was too long, which was not conducive to the next battle. Thus, Cao Changchen had already planned to gather all the troops before advancing into Xian County.
In the temporary command post, Cao Changchen had already ordered with a serious expression,"Continue to send more scouts to investigate in the direction of Xian County and try to find out the exact situation of the enemy.”
"Ha Yi!"
"Also, immediately urge the follow-up troops to rush over as soon as possible to prevent the troops from being too scattered!”
"All the troops under the division must obey my command unconditionally.”
"Ha Yi!"
An officer beside him quickly responded and turned around to convey the order.
Cao Changchen was leading not only the 29th Brigade, but also the Artillery Unit, Cavalry Unit, Engineer Unit, and Logistics Unit of the 16th Division.
"Report!"
A Japanese officer walked over and said respectfully,""General, there is an urgent message from Commander West End.”
As he spoke, he handed a telegram to Chen Yi. The old man took the telegram and read it carefully. He could not help but smile.
"Yosh!"
"If that's the case, why should we be afraid of the Huaxia National Defense Force?”
……
That night, in Xian County, Liu Chunlin and his main officers gathered to discuss the current situation.
Yang Liqing pointed at the map and said,"Commander-in-chief, according to the latest news, Caochang Chenyi's vanguard troops were so scared that they didn't dare to go north."”
Liu Chunlin smiled and said,"It seems that we've scared the Japanese in this battle. That's why they don't dare to advance rashly."”
"How can the Japanese not be afraid of destroying Sasaki Daiichi's entire exploration team?!" Zhang Dabiao smiled.”
Yang Liqing said with a serious face," But this is not a good thing. The Japanese have strengthened their defenses and are not daring to advance rashly. This way, it will be even more difficult for us to eliminate them."”
Liu Chunlin said thoughtfully,"They're advancing slower, which gives us more time to prepare."”
"Now we have two choices. We can continue to wait for fatigue, or we can take the initiative to attack!”
Yang Liqing pondered for a moment and said,"I think we can take a look at the situation before deciding on the next step.”
"In order to prepare for the war, we have already done some work. The civilians in the southern part of the city have been evacuated as much as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
Liu Chunlin nodded slightly and said,"The Japanese are cruel, especially the 16th division. They are a bunch of bastards who are worse than animals. They burn, kill, plunder, and commit all kinds of evil. Therefore, in places that might become battlefields and where the Japanese might go, we have to evacuate the people as much as possible to reduce casualties.”
"Yes!" Yang Liqing quickly replied. Don't worry, Commander-in-chief. We'll do it overnight.”
"In addition, our troops have already set up some ambushes along the way to ambush the Japanese.”
"In that case, you're more focused on defense and waiting for fatigue!" Liu Chunlin asked.”
"If the Japanese are in a hurry to take revenge, they will definitely come to us. Why should we take the initiative to look for them?" Yang Liqing said with a smile.”
"Wouldn't it be better if we could easily seize the initiative?”
"Unless the Japanese don't come tomorrow, it won't be too late for us to take the initiative to attack.”
Liu Chunlin nodded and said," That's true. It doesn't matter if we delay for a day. The longer we delay, the more advantageous it will be for us."”
This was for sure. Every day that passed, Liu Chunlin's strength would increase by a little. Therefore, the longer they dragged on, the more advantageous it was for Liu Chunlin.
Moreover, Liu Chunlin thought that his troops also needed to rest. Although these troops were summoned, they were still made of flesh and blood.
After they came to this world, they were the same as ordinary people. They had to eat, drink, and defecate. They would also be born, old, sick, and dead. Naturally, they would be tired.
Therefore, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, they needed to give them enough time to rest.
"Yes!"
Liu Chunlin nodded and said,"Then we'll do as you say!" He would wait until tomorrow to see the situation before deciding.”
"Yes, sir!" Yang Liqing and the others quickly replied.
