Just as we were anxiously waiting, we didn't wait for Ma Chao to return, but instead heard a sound coming from behind us, giving us a fright. We thought that the enemies were surrounding us from the back, and just as Huang Long and the rest were about to make a move, they were stopped by me immediately.

Two minutes later, a group of about two to three hundred people from the Japanese Army were walking towards us, cleaning the traces left behind by the Japanese Army. When they arrived before us, I could hear the gist of their words.

These soldiers were complaining about the superfluous actions of the headquarters. How could there be any troops following them, causing them to suffer for an entire night without a single fly following them? Of course, they were complaining, but after being scolded by a leader, these people reluctantly shut their mouths and continued walking into the valley.

I secretly sized them up and found that these people were indeed very tired. They all had bad complexions and they had already consumed most of their supplies during this period of time. All of them were thin and sallow, which was why there were so many complaints as they watched them disappear in front of our eyes.

Huang Long and the others had gathered over, and Huang Long said softly: "Young Master, looks like these fellows are the teams that we sent out last night to attract our attention, then this must be their main base. What do we do now?"

Looking at the way the enemies were leaving, I thought of Ma Chao who had not returned yet. Thus, I said to Huang Long and the others, "All of you should find a good position in the vicinity, hide and prepare for battle, but do not take the lead in shooting, understand? Luckily, the enemies are very confident, they think that we will not be able to find this place and have not left any hidden sentries nearby, but there are definitely a lot of hidden sentries around the outskirts of the enemy camp, so everyone must remain calm. I'll go in and see if we can figure out the enemy's position.

Hearing that, Huang Long immediately said: "Young Master, please let me in, I will be more careful, you will lead this place."

I shook my head. "Alright, it's not like you don't know my abilities. What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I'll be eaten by them? If I want to be ruthless, don't even mention them, what can they do to me this entire day?" I just want to experience the pleasures of war and gain some experience for me, so you guys better take care of this gate for me and pay close attention to the movements of the enemies. If any enemies come out, don't block them and send people to follow them.

Huang Long and the others could tell that it was true, if something really went wrong with me, it would not be an easy task. Therefore, Huang Long and the others nodded seriously: "Alright, then young master, be careful."

After talking to them for a while, I quickly caught up with the troops that had just returned. I hid myself behind them and followed them inside.

There were quite a few sentries along the way. Originally, they thought that they would arrive at the valley below very soon, but after walking for half an hour, they had finally arrived at a place that wasn't too far away from the camp. After half an hour of marching, this team finally arrived at the camp, the entire camp was built under cover of trees, one tent after another was set up on the side of the tree trunk, one by one, the numbers weren't damaged. Looking at such a large tent, I thought to myself, how could it not be right, this isn't the enemy headquarters, we only have around 16,000 tents? As for the other Japanese Army, could it be that they have another base? Thinking about it here, I immediately started to hide towards the Command tent that was located in the middle of the tent group. Because I was invisible, I arrived outside the Command tent and saw that Ma Chao was also there, lying on the ground listening to their conversation, but he was shocked that I was here, and then relieved that he hadn't returned for such a long time, I was naturally worried about his safety. He also used his sign language to communicate with me, so I told him to return first.

Ma Chao could only nod his head and leave. I went to the front of the Command tent to listen in, just in time to see the leader of the squad reporting to the officer inside.

After listening to the captain's report, the officer nodded and said, "Little Chuan, are you saying that none of you discovered any enemy scouts behind us tonight?"

Xiao Chuan nodded his head: "Yes, Your Excellency. In order to confirm whether there are any enemy scouts behind us, I have left many secret sentries behind us, all of them were excellent scouts drawn from ninja's army, but unfortunately, the Chinese Army does not seem to care about us at all, and not a single scout came up. Knowing that all the Latent Sentinel s returned to the team, I finally knew that the enemy did not follow them, and thus I dared to lead the troops back."

There were four people in the room. Other than Captain Xiao Chuan and the general, there were two other high ranking generals. Judging from the tokens they were wearing, the other two were only a level lower than the general from before.

After the general heard Xiao Chuan's report, he nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Chuan, you did very well. You can go and rest now. It must have been hard on you last night."

After Xiao Chuan left, the general stood up and said to a person beside him, "Why do you think of what happened last night, Songshun? Logically speaking, the enemy should have followed our team, but what Ol 'Chuan Tai Lang said is not a lie. What do you think happened?"

Matsumoto shook his head, "General, I think it's not that simple. Think about it, one of our mixed brigades, more than eight thousand men, was discovered by the enemy before even reaching the enemy's camp, and caused a huge loss to us. Half of their soldiers were killed by the Chinese Army in such a way, it's really not worth it at all. That's why it caused us so much damage, but after they chased us for a while, why weren't any of the scouts following us? This obviously doesn't make sense. The enemy is eager to eliminate us right now. It's impossible for them to not follow behind our troops. If it wasn't for the enemy plotting something, then I really don't know of any reason to keep their scouts from following us. "

The other officer also stood up and said, "Yes, General, I think that it is not that simple. Because of our sneak attack last night, the enemy did not suffer any great loss, so are they waiting for us to continue our attack? After all, we already lost four to five thousand men last night, and if we continue fighting like this, we will be exhausted after a few more battles. So I think the enemy is waiting for us to attack them in the mountain, and they are just waiting for us to get food, and waiting for us to come. Only Chinese Army has what we need, I think Chinese Army must have clearly seen this point, that's why he didn't follow us, right? "

Regarding Tian Yuanzhongkang's conjecture, Matsumoto shook his head and said, "It's not that General Tian Yuan's reasoning is unreasonable, but what I'm worried about is, what if the enemy not follow the squad but follow our team? That way, we might be exposed here, and that's definitely not what you want to see, so I have always had a feeling that the Chinese Army was not that simple, waiting for us to fight them head on. Although they are waiting for us to fight them head on, although they are just waiting for us to fight them, but you all know, the current situation in the country is very tense, they have no reason to send so many troops here to fight us head on.

He thought about it carefully, but he was still unwilling to believe that his own troops were being followed. Thus, he said, "Master Song, you have thought it through well, but if our retreat troops are really being followed by the enemy's scouts, they will not be able to hide from our hidden sentries. After all, the area we are on is not far away, and we are also in a valley, so if we were to look in from the entrance, they will definitely scout inside, but even now we have not received any news of the enemy's presence, do you think that the enemy's troops have already set their eyes on us?"

When Matsumoto heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "That's right, there's no message from the scouts up ahead, and no missing scouts either. Perhaps I was too scared, but for our safety, I hope that the General would send people to search around the valley mouth to see if they find anything. I hope my worries are unnecessary."

Da Shuchangji nodded his head: "En, good, there is an ancient saying in China, 'Be careful when driving a ten thousand year boat.' Then I will eliminate the patrols and search the surroundings, just in case." With that, he picked up the phone and gave the order.

Hearing that, I knew there was no point in continuing, I immediately teleported back to the valley mouth. When I returned, Ma Chao was still not back yet, so when Huang Long and the others saw me return, they all went up and asked: "Young Master, how was it? Where's Ma Chao? Why didn't he come back with you? "

Looking at their relationship, I nodded: "Alright, it's fine, you guys can relax, this guy will probably return soon, he has no problems, it's just that the road ahead is a little long, it will take us around 40 minutes to travel, according to his speed, he should be back in a few minutes, and now phoebe is sending patrols to our location, everyone check if there are any traces left, when Ma Chao comes back, we will retreat, far away from their search, so as to not let them know of our existence, we will carry them off at night."

When Huang Long and the others heard this, they immediately started to check. After repeated inspections and cleaning, they finally felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Before he could say anything, I waved my hand and retreated.

After reaching a sufficient distance and confirming that the enemies would not search to this point, we stopped and only then did Ma Chao have the chance to speak: "Young master, why did we retreat? What can we see here? "

I said smilingly, "Where is your cleverness now? If the enemy doesn't move, will I let you down? The enemy will be sending patrols to the valley mouth soon, if we don't retreat now, won't they find out that we have found their base? "

Ma Chao laughed embarrassedly, then said seriously: "Oh, right, Young Master, after what I have discovered, this is not the gathering point for all the Japanese Army s, there should be a group of people that are not here, and there should be a few four to five thousand people that are not in the tent below, so there are at most sixteen thousand phoebe s here, and at least ten thousand people that are not here. Young Master, what do you think we should do?"

I thought for a moment and nodded: Hmm, you're right, a portion of the enemies are not here, the other troop's leader surname is Teng Tian, I do not know where they are currently, but they have already sent out all their supplies, and they have already run out of supplies, otherwise, they would not have sent out so many of their troops to attack us from the rear, their goal is our supply, now they are at the end of their supply, so tonight we will definitely defeat them, as for the other side, we can only look for them slowly, and even if we do not find them soon, we will not have to look for their supplies, so we will not care about the price, for them.

After everyone heard my analysis, they happily nodded their heads. Looking at their confident gazes, I smiled and asked Huang Long, "When will the troops behind us arrive?"

Huang Long immediately replied, "I have already contacted the commander in the rear, Teacher Sui Haiyang. They will be joining us at 1600 hours sharp."

I nodded. "Alright, I'll tell them that we have to move carefully so that we won't be discovered by another army. At the same time, we have to take precautions, especially the logistics, so that the enemy won't be able to have enough resources and leave enough defenses behind. The troops that are participating in the attack will be heading towards us, so it doesn't matter if we meet up later than 1 o'clock in the morning."

Huang Long nodded and went down to contact the troops behind us, while we found a concealed location to hide.

An hour later, the person in charge of monitoring valley mouth sent a message to us. "An enemy squad has carried out a careful search in valley mouth's position, and is currently slowly moving towards us, asking us what we should do, do we continue to retreat?"

I carefully thought for a moment and replied, "There's no need to retreat, the enemy will not move too far in our direction. After all, we are far away from the valley mouth, so even if the enemy searches here, it will already be afternoon. They won't be able to search this place, so we can let them safely hide and continue their surveillance."

As expected, two hours later, the enemy's search stopped and they started to walk towards the inside of the valley mouth. However, the observation post sent them a piece of important information, the enemy had left more than ten hidden posts in the area they were searching just now, lying in ambush somewhere relatively close to the valley mouth.

It seems that the enemies had become even more cautious now. After I had the surveillance personnel continue to monitor the situation, I quietly waited for the army behind to arrive. I also sent Huang Long and the others to lead a group of people to the back to meet them.

As time passed, the sky slowly darkened, the troops at the back had yet to come up, so we could only wait quietly, but the enemy's hidden sentries had already been replaced, the previous group had already retreated back to their original positions, and the new Latent Sentinel was still hiding in her original position, not moving at all.

Looking at the time, it was already eight in the night. I immediately ordered Ma Chao and a few other members with invisibility to scout the valley, the main targets were the enemy's secret sentries, Latent Sentinel s and open sentries, it is absolutely necessary that none of them are to fall, and their specific hiding spots must be recorded down. When they attack later, it is to quickly take care of them, so as to avoid alerting the enemies in the valley.

An hour and half later, Ma Chao and his men returned. Not only did he manage to find out the exact location of the enemy, he also obtained an important piece of information, which was that the enemy's hidden sentry and Latent Sentinel would report to the valley headquarters every two hours.

Finally, around eleven o'clock, Huang Long and the rest arrived with a large group of people. Sui Haiyang immediately came forward to study the combat plans with me, and after a preliminary discussion, we reached an agreement that my men would go up to settle the enemy's hidden sentry and Latent Sentinel, as well as the open and mobile sentry. The large group of people followed behind to provide support with firepower.
