Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

As the commander of the base area, Lin Zhenhua, after fully listening to the opinions of the participants, significantly revised some of the battle plans to ensure the safety of the base area.

"Now that everyone has reached a consensus, there is no need for us to stay here any longer. Starting tomorrow, all units will immediately proceed to their designated departure points."

"Li Yunlong, the mission to attack the Japanese 12th Army is entrusted to you. I'm only giving you three days. You must do everything in your power to defeat the Japanese 12th Army."

"Old Zhao, have our bomber force drop 1000 tons of bombs on the Japanese 12th Army and open a breach in the shortest possible time."

"Zhu Zi, I'm assigning you command of three of the six artillery regiments directly under our base. Make sure to knock the Japanese turtle shell off as soon as the main force arrives."

"Xiao Zhongyuan, your mission is the most important. I order you to lead two anti-aircraft artillery regiments to provide air defense cover for the main force."

"I will personally command the rocket launcher unit. I plan to deploy 6000 rockets to give the Japanese front-line positions a full-scale artillery barrage."

"Old Kong, your task is not easy. The moment Old Li launches his attack, you must immediately lead your troops to attack Chahar and reclaim the territory occupied by the Japanese."

"Old Ding, your task is equally important. You must lead your team to launch an attack towards Suiyuan as soon as the attack is launched from the prison."

"Commander Chu, your mission is equally crucial. The Japanese 12th Army has received reinforcements of a division and is now stationed near Laolongpu."

"Your mission is to lead six regiments to launch an attack on Laolongpu and annihilate all the Japanese troops stationed there, so as to avoid us being caught in the awkward situation of fighting on three fronts."

"Today is February 3th, and the general offensive will begin on March 1st. No matter what the weather is like that day, our general offensive cannot be postponed."

"We have been preparing for this major counter-offensive for nearly four months. The current international situation is not favorable for us. The Japanese and the Allied forces have started the third naval battle in the waters off Midway Island."

"The Japanese navy has concentrated the main force of the Combined Fleet and has already engaged in fierce fighting with the US navy yesterday. The battle between the two sides is unlikely to end in a short time, but it will not drag on for too long either. It is expected that the outcome of this battle will be determined within three months."

"Once the Japanese are defeated, their current industrial production capacity is simply not enough to meet the needs of the front lines. It's only a matter of time before they are defeated and surrender."

"I have repeatedly emphasized that it is better to rely on ourselves than on others. Only by driving out the Japanese devils can we have a higher international standing."

"In this battle, we must demonstrate our national power and show those little devils that we are not made of clay."

Under Lin Zhenhua's pre-battle mobilization, the troops quickly began to assemble, and the railway and highway network of the base area began to be busy, with a large number of soldiers and weapons and ammunition being transported to the front line.

The reconnaissance aircraft unit also began high-intensity reconnaissance work targeting the Japanese forces in various aspects of their deployment.

Lin Zhenhua's series of actions could not have escaped the eyes of the Japanese. Yamamoto Ichiki had successfully planted spies in the base area through the methods of sowing discord and winning over the enemy.

Upon learning of Lin Zhenhua's troop deployment, he rushed to the 12th Army headquarters to report the situation to Yoshio Shinotsuka.
