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

Lin Zhenhua didn't care about the Japanese reaction. He had been preparing for this counter-offensive for half a year and had anticipated all kinds of unexpected situations. Under the current circumstances, he didn't think the Japanese could withstand the attack of his army.

Indeed, this was the case. Although the Japanese acted extremely recklessly, launching two or three large-scale counter-offensives at any cost, their repeated counterattacks were nothing more than a desperate last stand when faced with the barrage of bullets prepared for them by Lin Zhenhua.

"Commander, the dive bomber unit has completed its mission of pinpointing and eliminating the enemy's firing positions!"

"Comrade Commander, the level bomber force has completed the first phase of the bombing mission, and more than 90% of the Japanese strongpoints have been destroyed."

"Commander, the artillery has destroyed the exposed firing positions of the Japanese and is now providing artillery support for the armored forces' attack!"

"Commander, Regiment Commander Li has just sent an urgent telegram. He has led the 1st and 2nd Armored Regiments to successfully breach the Japanese front lines and is currently mopping up the remaining Japanese troops inside the positions!"

"Comrade Commander, the first fighter squadron has engaged in combat with the Japanese 18th Air Division, and the two sides are currently fighting for air superiority."

"Commander, the anti-aircraft artillery units are in position and ready to launch an attack on the Japanese devils at any time!"

Listening to his soldiers' report, Lin Zhenhua's worries vanished. He hadn't expected the battle to go so smoothly, and victory seemed within his grasp.

"Order the anti-aircraft artillery units to immediately engage in combat, focusing on the Japanese tank units, and deploy the reserves for air defense to ensure the safety of our armored forces."

"Order the second fighter squadron to immediately engage in combat and eliminate the air threat to ground forces."

"Order the bomber force to launch a bombing campaign against the Japanese second line of defense, creating a favorable opportunity for the armored forces to attack!"

"Order the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments to immediately engage in battle and clear out the Japanese troops entangled in the front line."

"The command post should immediately move forward and send a telegram to Regiment Commander Li, demanding that he end the battle within half an hour!"

"Send a telegram to Commander Kong and Commander Ding, instructing them to immediately launch a surprise attack on Chahar and Rehe according to the original plan. This surprise attack must be fast; they must complete the occupation of the Chahar and Rehe regions within three days."

"Five days later, we will break through the Great Wall defenses and launch a decisive battle against the Japanese Kwantung Army!"

"Telegram to Regiment Commander Li: The great battle has begun, and we don't have much time left. We must defeat the Japanese 12th Army within two days, and the central column must head north the day after tomorrow morning!"

To facilitate command, Lin Zhenhua reorganized the troops, establishing three columns.

Li Yunlong, who was on the front lines clearing out the remaining Japanese troops, received an urgent telegram from headquarters. After reading the telegram, he slammed his fist heavily on the map.

"Pass on my orders: leave two armored battalions to annihilate the remaining Japanese troops, while the main force immediately breaks away and heads to the Japanese second line of defense."

"We must break through the Japanese second line of defense before 8 a.m., and by noon, the main force must meet up with the Japanese third line of defense!"
