Anti-Japanese War: My strategist joins the game and awakens the small map!

Yang Xianling, headquarters command room.

It was daybreak and the fog reduced visibility to less than ten meters. The spring rain was getting heavier and many roads had become muddy.

Due to the frequent wars in various places, many rear areas have now become the front line.

The headquarters was also moved from Daxiawan to Yangxianling.

In the command room, a man in a military coat was sitting at the table with a newspaper in his hand. After reading it for a while, he slammed the newspaper on the table, and the anger on his face was obvious.

"These beasts, what are you talking about? They can swallow up the entire northwest of Shanxi in three months."

Although he was very angry when he started speaking, his eyes then stayed on the map. The battle lines in various places, as well as the Japanese encirclement circles, were densely intertwined in various places on the map.

"Their tactics have always been like this. The Japanese claimed they would destroy the country in three months, and that was a propaganda they spread back home... Their propaganda has always been primarily psychological, designed to undermine the confidence of the Chinese people and erode their will to resist. It was precisely because of this that many surrenderists emerged back home at that time."

When Song Yi said these words, his expression looked extremely solemn, but now they had no effective means to stop the news.

But all they can do is to use facts to break these statements, just like the original statement that the country would be destroyed in three months, which was self-defeating.

But before these remarks were broken, the will of the Chinese people was worn down and many elite soldiers were lost.

The army was completely unstoppable and the losses in various battles were extremely heavy.

The man in the military coat put aside the newspaper on the table and his eyes fell on the location of Ping'an County.

"Boss, according to the information we received from Dashimen Village, Captain Lin and his men may be operating in this area. He asked us if we have any plans for Ping'an County... He wants to take back Ping'an County..."

Song Yi, who was standing by, pointed to an area on the map and spoke in a serious tone.

When he said the following words, he hesitated. Song Yi recognized Lin Tianchen's strength.

But he also knew that when Lin Tianchen left Luokuipo, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers. During wartime, it would be difficult to replenish the soldiers, and the number would even decrease as the battle went on.

More than 2,000 people were planning to attack Ping'an County. As the chief of staff, Song Yi had never imagined that.

The battles that Lin Tianchen fought were all positional and mobile warfare, but at most he only attacked Qiufengting Railway Station, but Ping'an County was a real city.

Not to mention that Ping'an County is a stronghold of the Japanese, with more than 3,000 permanent troops stationed there, not including the Japanese's transit troops and the troops in the Taigu County Acropolis.

"Do you know how many days it has been since the battle of Luokuipo?"

"...Thirteen days."

Song Yi was a little stunned by the sudden words from the man in the military coat, but he still responded quickly.

After hearing this, the old general said again: "In the Japanese-occupied area for thirteen days, more than two thousand people have not been discovered. They also fought two battles. Not to mention the small ones, the big one wiped out an entire Japanese battalion..."

In the enemy-occupied areas, they received a lot of intelligence, and some battles were within the devil's sphere of influence.

And most of them were large-scale annihilation battles, a scale of battle that was difficult for the guerrillas there to achieve.

More than ten days without being discovered in the enemy-occupied area was enough to conclude that Lin Tianchen must have his own way of avoiding the devil's reconnaissance and raids. This strategic acumen made him think a lot.

Bang....

The tea table was set aside when suddenly a heavy hand came down.

"Since he dares to think of this, we will fully cooperate with him. Right now, the entire northwest of Shanxi is in a state of fierce fighting, and many places have been lost. Although there are various reasons such as manpower, weapons, and military literacy, the bottom line is that the Japanese have far superior logistical supplies, and we don't have that much material support."

"If we can capture Ping'an County, the Japanese will be very cautious. Thinking of conquering northwest Shanxi in three months is a foolish dream! This propaganda is a double-edged sword. If it doesn't achieve the strategic goal we want, it will only strengthen our will to resist."

The man in the coat spoke in a serious tone, his experienced eyes cold.

From the moment the war broke out in northwestern Shanxi, the Japanese never stopped attacking within the encirclement areas.

Both the National Army and they have lost a lot of territory.

But after each battle, the next one begins. This shows that although the war was fought on the land beneath their feet, the Japanese had excellent transportation capabilities.

If this continues, the entire northwest of Shanxi will be gradually devoured by the Japanese in no time. National wars are fought with national strength, while local wars are actually fought with logistics.

Lin Tianchen wanted to attack Ping'an County and obviously realized this.

Instead of fighting the Japanese head-on, it is better to cut off their lifeline and hit them at their weakest point.

"But with the number of Captain Lin and his men, if they want to take Ping'an County..."

Song Yi said in a reminder tone. He was not really pouring cold water on others, but as a staff officer, he knew how difficult it was. You know, the Japanese who could garrison such an important stronghold would not only have a large number of troops, but also definitely strong firepower.

Lin Tianchen only has this few people, supplies, ammunition, etc., and he relies on fighting to support the war.

"How many people did the Japanese use to attack Ping'an County?"

After hearing these words, Song Yi's eyes moved slightly, but he did not answer immediately.

The man in the military coat slowly stood up and said in a serious tone:

"Back then, the Japanese used only two battalions to defeat two divisions stationed in Ping'an County. Why could they do it but we can't? If we keep thinking about how strong and ferocious the Japanese are, then what's the point of us soldiers?"

"Staff Officer Song, I know you're thinking more, but the more desperate the situation, the more we have to try. Everything depends on the chance of success. The land beneath our feet would have been destroyed long ago. We have to fight like Captain Lin, fighting with blood and blood. What if we're behind enemy lines? We can just advance whenever we want. If he hadn't been disrupting the situation from behind, our victory wouldn't have been so easy."

"It doesn't matter whether Lin Tianchen is targeting Ping'an County, Taigu County, the Shiwuli Temple, or even the railway lines in Yuancheng. In short, if he wants to cause chaos, we will create chaos for him and give him opportunities."

"Don't worry about whether Captain Lin will attack Ping'an County, we are all going to fight."

"I live for my country, I die for my country. A scholar does not cherish money, a warrior does not cherish life. A soldier's duty is to sacrifice his life for his country. This is what Lin Tianchen said, and he did it."

He patted Song Yi's shoulder gently with a calm expression.

Of course, he knew what Song Yi was thinking, but there was no absolute in war. If he didn't dare to think about it or do it, would he just wait for the Japanese to trample all over the land under his feet?

When Song Yi heard this, he was shocked and his eyes fell on the map. Lin Tianchen was now deep behind enemy lines and had been marked on the map. There were dense red enemy symbols all around him.

The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life.

Why...isn't it a soldier's duty? Even if it means sacrificing his life for the country, Lin Tianchen is so young and still does this.

Song Yi's eyes gradually became serious, and he thought quickly that if Ping'an County could be moved, the pressure on this area would be greatly relieved.

Just as Song Yi was looking at the map, a voice came from the command room.

The man in the military coat stood in front of everyone and glanced at everyone in the command room.

"Increase surveillance of Ping'an County. The Independent Regiment will establish surveillance on several roads near Yangcun, focusing on targeting the enemy's transport lines. Arrange for surprise attacks and bombing of some railway lines ahead of the 772nd Regiment. Also, order the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments to ambush the enemy on the roads around Ziliang Mountain. Remember not to engage in prolonged fighting; retreat immediately after the fight is over. This will disrupt the situation and create opportunities for Commander Lin..."

"If there's an opportunity, I believe he can seize it. At the same time, if he sets his sights on Ping'an County, all troops will move towards it. Only commanders above the rank of regimental commander will be informed of our intention to attack Ping'an County."

Orders came out from the command room.

"Yes!!!"

At this time, everyone began to listen to these orders carefully.

In the early morning, the fog had not yet dissipated.

With the sound of horse hooves, figures scattered in all directions from the headquarters.

.....

......

Dashimen Village, inside the regiment headquarters command room.

"Old Ding, there's news from headquarters, asking us to pay more attention to these roads."

Because of the war, many important messages from the base are now conveyed by people, and they rarely have letters with them, so they usually tell the news orally.

Because telephone lines in various places have been destroyed by small groups of troops, even telegraphs are no longer usable. The Japanese's ability to decipher radio stations is far superior to theirs.

Kong Jie took the letter from Xie Yulin and immediately walked to the table, pointing to several roads on the map and said excitedly.

Ding Wei took the letter from Kong Jie's hand, frowned as he looked at the letter, and occasionally glanced at the map.

"When headquarters tells us to fight, we should retreat immediately if the situation becomes unfavorable. Moreover, these routes all lead to Ping'an County. It seems that they are ready to cooperate with Captain Lin."

As Kong Jie spoke, his eyes became more serious.

Because now even they have received combat orders, which means that the situation in northwest Shanxi is already in chaos.

Now, all the news they received was about wars in various places, and their Dashimen Village, which was once the rear base, is now on the front line and is about to start fighting.

"This is going to turn the entire northwest of Shanxi into a mess. Chaos is good, chaos is good. It creates an opportunity for us to enter the enemy camp alone and fish in troubled waters."

Ding Wei scanned the map, looked at the densely packed dots on it, burned the letter that was sent to him, and said in a firm tone.

In Ding Wei's opinion, the current situation will only become more chaotic, and the Japanese will become more confused.

Since the Japs want to gradually devour them, let them flourish everywhere.
