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

Pudong.

In a factory building, huge yellow light bulbs hang high on the warehouse beams.

In the warehouse, there were many coarse cloth sacks scattered around in a mess, as well as a lot of wood and rotten wooden boxes.

A dull voice sounded at this time.

"Ms. Xu, should I say you're bold? Or should I say you're ignorant? Our gang isn't just a bunch of peddlers."

There was a sofa in a prominent position right in front of the warehouse. The middle-aged man sitting on it was of burly build. He looked at Xu Lan and straightened his linen clothes. On the table in front of the middle-aged man, there was a large map.

The moment he finished speaking, the seven or eight figures standing around him sneered.

"Boss Xu, I just want you to help us get this stuff out. The Tiger Guards in northwest Shanxi often roam around the Japanese-occupied areas. It was this team that wiped out the Sakata Regiment. Now that northwest Shanxi is in the spring offensive, we really need this batch of supplies."

Xu Lan spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. She came here because she had inquired from many sources and finally got news that some local gangs would help move the goods.

So Xu Lan took the initiative to contact them as soon as possible.

"Ms. Xu, please don't use moral blackmail on me. I'm just an honest businessman. I've made an exception by coming here to see you. You should be grateful that I didn't report you to the Imperial Army."

Xu Jingqiang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette and said.

Smoke rose, obscuring the expression on his face. As a gangster in the Pudong Concession, he was well aware of the current situation. He couldn't help a woman send something he didn't know about out of Pudong just because of a few words and a little money.

When Xu Lan heard this, she frowned slightly and looked at the person sitting in the distance. This was indeed a little different from the news she had received.

According to the information she had learned, Xu Jingqiang's gang helped many teams transport supplies for free.

Xu Jingqiang's words naturally made Xu Lan a little anxious.

The lights flickered. Xu Lan, who was standing in the warehouse, thought for a while and spoke again:

"Since Boss Xu doesn't want to, I won't force him." Xu Lan slowly put her hand in her bag, and without much pause, she turned and walked out of the warehouse.

Xu Jingqiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his smoking hand gradually put down. His eyes were sharp under the yellow light as he watched Xu Lan's departing back.

"Next time, don't bring just anyone to me. The Japanese are watching us closely now. Don't let them catch us..." Xu Jingqiang said in a serious tone.

"Yes, boss."

The younger brother next to him responded hurriedly, and at this time a burst of hurried footsteps were heard.

"Boss, boss."

The voice came before the person came in, and the tone was full of excitement.

"Can you guys improve a little bit in your work?" Xu Jingqiang criticized angrily, and after that, he took the cigarette in his hand as usual.

"Boss, a clear-code telegram from Northwest Shanxi."

When Xu Jingqiang heard the words "Northwest Shanxi", the cigarette he had just picked up stopped in mid-air.

"Northwest Shanxi?" Xu Jingqiang murmured, and immediately took the paper handed to him by his younger brother.

His eyes lingered on the parsed telegram, and he looked at it with some curiosity.

But after just one glance, Xu Jingqiang immediately sat up straight and looked at the words on the paper intently.

The telegraph machine was stolen from the Japanese devils. It was rarely used for sending messages. It was mainly used for receiving messages. After all, the transportation of some materials required communication with the remote end.

Xu Jingqiang didn't read many books, but he did know some.

"On March 3rd, our troops entered Taikoo County and killed 1,300 enemies. As soldiers, we have a duty to defend our territory and fight for every inch of it. If I die in battle, the battalion commander will take my place, and so on, at all levels. We will not retreat, even to the last soldier and bullet!"

"Taigu County, fight to the death!"

Seeing this telegram, Xu Jingqiang was filled with astonishment. He stood up suddenly, walked to the side, supported his hands on the edge of the table, and looked at the map seriously, muttering to himself:

"Come and find out where Taigu County is."

Xu Jingqiang cursed angrily and his eyes kept scanning the map. He didn't want to miss any place. This map was a war map that he had obtained through connections. Some place names were clearly marked on it.

He usually paid close attention to the war in the country, so much so that he marked many points on the map, marking some Japanese forces and their forces.

A group of younger brothers hurriedly gathered at the edge of the map and began searching one by one.

"Boss, here it is." One of the younger brothers spoke with a somewhat excited tone.

Xu Jingqiang's gaze turned instantly and fell on Taigu County in northwest Shanxi.

Just looking at Taigu County, his eyes couldn't help but be stunned slightly because of the unique logo on it.

"Is Taigu County surrounded by the Japanese? A unit has bitten off a piece of meat from behind the enemy lines?" Xu Jingqiang said in disbelief, staring blankly at the map in front of him.

There were many Japanese strongholds around Taigu County. Xu Jingqiang put out the cigarette he had just lit and threw it aside. His expression became more serious.

A few days ago, the news that the Japanese invaders had wiped out northwest Shanxi in March spread throughout Pudong. When he heard it, his expression was the same as that of most Chinese people: helplessness, grief and indignation...

Apart from this, there is nothing they can do.

But every word in the message was like a light reflected in his pupils.

"We captured a city behind the enemy lines and killed over a thousand of them... The Tiger Guards, who have been active behind enemy lines for years..."

The words were cold, but they made Xu Jingqiang feel hot inside. Although he didn't know how they managed to take Taigu County in the Japanese-occupied area, he was excited at the fact that they could do such a thing under the Japanese encirclement.

It was as if I saw soldiers fighting bravely at the foot of the city gate, fighting the Japanese devils with blood on every blow.

Xu Jingqiang was a little dazed, but suddenly, he raised his hand.

Then, he slapped himself hard.

There was a crisp sound in the warehouse.

"Boss?" The younger brother next to him was a little confused.

"Didn't that girl just say she wanted to be sent to northwest Shanxi?"

"Yes."

"Did she say that the Tiger Guards were often active behind enemy lines?"

"Yes."

The younger brother nodded again, and Xu Jingqiang's expression was full of complexity.

Suddenly, he raised his hand again and slapped himself in the face.

The batch of supplies that the girl just brought was to be transported to the Tiger Guards Regiment in Northwest Shanxi.

"I'm really not a human being." Xu Jingqiang turned around immediately and muttered.

A weak woman dared to come to their gang alone for the anti-Japanese team, just to transport supplies.

"Find her immediately. I want to apologize in person."

......

......

Before leaving the Qingyun Gang warehouse.

Xu Lan quickly got on a rickshaw, circled the street a few times, walked a few blocks alone and returned to the underground newspaper office.

"it's me."

After knocking on the door a few times, Xu Lan's low voice came from outside the door.

"Sister Xu Lan." Han Chunxue looked around, opened the door a little and let Xu Lan in.

As soon as she entered the door, Han Chunxue saw Xu Lan's lost expression, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

"Sister Xu Lan, we can think of other ways." Han Chunxue hung Xu Lan's coat aside and said in a comforting tone.

Although the entire Pudong area is now under strict lockdown, she could guess what was going on by looking at Xu Lan's lost expression.

But as for thinking of other ways, Han Chunxue himself did not have the confidence. It has never been so easy to send out supplies. Even the Japanese in Pudong would search from time to time. Moreover, after sending them out, it was too difficult to travel such a long distance to northwest Shanxi.

In addition, she could hardly see any hope in the war in northwest Shanxi. Every time she received news, it was about which place was occupied or breached by the Japanese.

These pieces of news have made Han Chunxue involuntarily wonder whether northwest Shanxi will be the same as the three northeastern provinces.

Xu Lan sighed softly and said again: "We can wait, but the front line can't."

Compared to them, they have a harder time in northwest Shanxi.

Just as Xu Lan entered the house, there was a sudden burst of footsteps outside the house, causing the two to look at each other with serious expressions.

Both women looked wary. Xu Lan put her hand into her bag and stared at the door.

"Miss Xu, the Tiger Guards' affairs are ours. Just give me the things, and I'll arrange for my trusted confidants to deliver them to the Tiger Guards in Northwest Shanxi without missing a single one."

Xu Jingqiang's voice came, Xu Lan and Han Chunxue looked at each other, and finally Xu Lan hesitated for a moment and chose to open the door.

Several figures in linen clothes came in. As soon as Xu Jingqiang stepped in, he looked at Xu Lan's hand reaching into the bag with an embarrassed expression.

Han Chunxue was stunned by this scene and stood beside Xu Lan, not daring to act rashly.

"Ms. Xu, I was wrong before. I didn't understand the specific situation. This is what I just received. Please take a look at it." Xu Jingqiang handed the parsed telegram to Xu Lan.
