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

Pudong.

As the temperature gradually warms up, there are more and more people on the road.

Even at night, rickshaw drivers are dressed more smartly, and the spring rain has been much less frequent recently.

Xu Lan lowered her head to glance at the paper Xu Jingqiang handed over, and finished reading it in a few seconds. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she slowly looked up at Xu Jingqiang.

"Ms. Xu, from today on, the affairs of the Tiger Guards will be mine, Xu Jingqiang's."

Xu Jingqiang spoke in a firm tone: "I, Xu Jingqiang, am a man from the three northeastern provinces. I also escaped from my hometown when the Japanese invaded the country that year. Although I am a businessman, I have my own principles when it comes to the Japanese. The people I admire most in my life are those who can fight against the Japanese."

"Apart from anything else, I have never done anything to let my country down. I have a clear conscience about this. I specifically inquired about the Tiger Guards. They were a lone force that penetrated deep into the enemy's territory and captured Taigu County. Every member of this team is a real man. I admire them!"

"If they were in the three northeastern provinces at that time, perhaps..."

Seeing that Xu Lan did not respond to him, Xu Jingqiang continued to talk to himself, but when he talked about his hometown, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Who would have thought that the leader of the Qingyun Gang, who is so powerful in Pudong, would have such a look.

Xu Lan listened silently, turned her head to take a look, and showed the telegram to Han Chunxue, her eyes unconsciously revealing a hint of worry.

This is not the first time that a lone soldier has advanced deep into the enemy's territory, but if given a choice, who would be willing to fight in such a dangerous way?

"Boss Xu, thank you very much." Xu Lan looked grateful and extended her hand.

Seeing this, Xu Jingqiang immediately shook hands with him.

"I heard from Monkey that you have been to Northwest Shanxi alone several times. Can you tell me about this team?" Xu Jingqiang's tone was full of curiosity.

As a reporter, Xu Lan didn't know how to express what Xu Jingqiang said.

Perhaps it was because of the words the regiment commander said in the cave, or perhaps it was because of the bravery of the team in killing the Japanese on the battlefield, or perhaps it was because of seeing the flag raised.

"They are just a group of people who don't want their descendants to fight. There are too many things to explain in detail, and I can't explain it clearly at once. Can you give me this telegram?" Xu Lan watched Han Chunxue finish reading it, took the telegram, and glanced down.

"...Okay." Xu Jingqiang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

But because of Xu Lan's words, many thoughts came to his mind.

In front of the soldiers who were ready to die, a burly figure with weathered eyes and full of fighting spirit stood in front of the team, like a towering tree, leading a large group of soldiers to charge.

That figure's eyes were filled with a firm belief that the younger generation should not experience what he had experienced.

They fought all the battles that needed to be fought, so the next generation wouldn't have to fight.

When he thought of this, the image in Xu Jingqiang's mind became more and more majestic, and he had an urge to find an artist to draw it.

"Then Miss Xu, we will leave first. You can give me the things and I will arrange the rest." Xu Jingqiang thought about it and did not stay here for long.

After saying hello, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Then he went straight back to his residence and asked his younger brother to find a painter.

"He has a huge figure, and his arms are thicker than my thighs."

"His face was resolute, the kind of fortitude that could remain calm even under pressure. His eyes showed the vicissitudes of life, the kind that comes from having endured much hardship."

"In terms of height, he should be taller than me."

"As for temperament, it's the kind of domineering aura that swallows up mountains and rivers...like Xiang Yu's domineering aura."

Xu Jingqiang's voice never stopped. The painter listened to Xu Jingqiang's words and painted with great concentration.

Gradually, after a few hours, as the oil painting took shape, Xu Jingqiang looked at the huge frame in which the newly painted oil painting was being loaded. Inside was a domineering man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. His eyes were full of suffering, but with a kind heart that sympathized with the world.

Xu Jingqiang looked at the painting and nodded with satisfaction.

The figure in the oil painting is tall and burly, wearing a military uniform, with muscles faintly visible, and his eyes are always looking into the distance, which is the direction of the three northeastern provinces.

"Hang it up for me, in the most conspicuous place."

"A little to the right, hang it higher, oh yes, yes, that's it."

Xu Jingqiang looked at the portrait that had been hung up and nodded with satisfaction.

Xu Lan was preparing supplies, and Xu Jingqiang did not disturb her too much. After he came back, he collected a lot of information about the Tiger Guards. The more he collected, the more he admired this army.

Just like gangs all worship Guan Erye and coastal areas worship Mazu... Xu Jingqiang also specially asked an artist to draw the appearance of Lin Tianchen that he had in mind.

"Brother, there is a new plaintext telegram." Guo Yunming walked into the living room.

"The Japanese?" Xu Jingqiang frowned slightly and came to a map to draw something. He seemed to have developed this habit.

"It should still be from the Tiger Guards. It's another battle manifesto."

Hearing the three words "Tiger Guard Regiment", Xu Jingqiang's serious expression immediately became lively, and he directly snatched the telegram from Guo Yunming's hand.

He read every word carefully, and the more he read, the harder it was to conceal the happy expression on his face.

There was a bamboo chair next to the desk. Xu Jingqiang put down a telegram, and the excitement on his face was hard to conceal.

"Well, this is a soldier who serves his country and his people!"

Xu Jingqiang looked at the latest telegram content and his voice was very excited.

"Brother, if a fight breaks out, I'm afraid Taigu County won't be able to be defended. This is the Japs' rear area. If we can get this information, the Japs can certainly get it too. If we provoke them like this, they will definitely send troops to annihilate the Tiger Guards. In this way, they won't..."

Guo Yunming, who looked a little thin, was pouring tea for Xu Jingqiang and spoke in a serious tone.

Guo Yunming also knew something about the situation in northwestern Shanxi. Although he captured Taigu County, which was behind the Japanese invaders, he also dealt a heavy slap to the Japanese in the face, putting them in a passive position in public opinion.

But in this way, the team from Taigu County has become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese devils in northwestern Shanxi, and they will use all means to take back the city.

Not only that, they will also use heavy troops to guard the area and completely surround the soldiers of Taigu County.

"They are determined to fight to the death. Ever since they captured Taikoo County and issued this national notice, they have been prepared for sacrifice. I think the commander of this team wants everyone in the country to see why they are doing this!"

"This team is really a team that fights the Japanese..."

Xu Jingqiang spoke in a serious tone, and his eyes were full of respect as he spoke these words.

At this time, it was a great honor to have such a team, knowing that defending Taigu County meant death, but resolutely notified the whole country and defended the city behind the Japanese.

"Monkey, if that reporter Xu has any difficulties in the future, you must help him. You will do this personally."

Xu Jingqiang picked up a cup of tea and spoke to Guo Yunming seriously.

"Yes." Guo Yunming nodded.

After finishing the explanation, Xu Jingqiang looked up at the huge oil painting.

"Although you and I have never met, if you die in battle, my Qingyun Gang will worship you for generations to come..." Xu Jingqiang looked at the oil painting that had not yet dried with respect in his eyes.

He didn't want this army to be destroyed, but he was powerless. They were only in Pudong and there was really not much they could do.

.........

......

In a room next to Pudong Street.

Han Chunxue looked at the telegram from time to time. On the table was a telegram sent by Xu Jingqiang that night.

For so long, the newspapers she read outside were all about the Japanese's battle results in northwestern Shanxi. She didn't know how many times she had read this telegram from last night until now.

Xu Lan was busy cleaning up the supplies. Xu Jingqiang not only agreed to send the supplies out of Pudong, but even prepared some supplies, which was a good replenishment.

"As a soldier, we have a duty to defend our territory. Even an inch of land and a blade of grass... we will never retreat." Han Chunxue recited each word, her face full of respect. "Sister Xu Lan, they are determined to defend Taigu County to the death."

"Now the entire northwest of Shanxi is surrounded by the Japanese. Are we going to fight them to the death in their heartland? This..."

Han Chunyu didn't know much about military affairs, but from the literal meaning, this meant relying on Taigu County to have a head-on confrontation with the Japanese.

Fighting a desperate battle deep behind enemy lines alone is a sure death no matter how you look at it.

"It's not that simple." Xu Lan shook her head. Based on her understanding of the team leader, she didn't think that Lin Tianchen would really fight to the death in Taigu County.

After all, the regiment commander values ​​the lives of the soldiers more than anything else.

When the invincible Sakata Regiment encountered obstacles in their attack, they fought with the sheer determination to survive, and used up all their artillery shells.

From this point, Xu Lan judged that they would not defend Taigu County to the death, but would have other plans.

But she couldn't see the plot clearly.

In the outside world, regarding the recapture of Taigu County in northwestern Shanxi and the declaration that was spread, many underground newspapers in Pudong also quickly printed and circulated this news.

Many people know that the Japanese who threatened to eat up the northwest of Shanxi in three months a few days ago have now been forcibly recaptured a piece of lost land in the Japanese-occupied area by a team.

The news that 1,300 Japanese devils were completely wiped out in Taigu County undoubtedly excited many people.

Pudong Renji Hospital.

This is the hospital where Xiao Xuewen stayed before.

"Dr. Wen, have you heard about this? A big thing happened in northwest Shanxi."

A voice sounded beside Wen Ren's ears, causing him to pause as he was eating in a corner, and he put down the chopsticks he had just picked up.

"Have the Japanese occupied somewhere again?" Wen Ren first looked around, his tone a little worried.

When Xiao Xuewen left Pudong, he also looked for him, but due to his family's opposition and various reasons, he did not follow Xiao Xuewen.

But day by day, hearing about the wars in various places, as well as the encirclement of northwest Shanxi by the Japanese and the tightening of the encirclement and the progress of the spring offensive, he began to worry about the wars going to northwest Shanxi.

"I heard that behind the enemy lines, a troop has recaptured a piece of lost territory and is threatening to fight the enemy to the death there. Don't stay in the hospital all the time. You can go read the underground newspapers. They have a lot of news about northwest Shanxi."

"The Japanese have also responded. This time they have dispatched mechanized troops and brought reporters with them, specifically to wipe out this group in front of the entire nation..."

After he finished speaking, Wen Ren paused with his chopsticks in his hand, wanting to say something but stopping himself, with shock in his eyes.

Recover lost territory within the Japanese encirclement?

And declare war on the devils?

All this was obviously beyond his understanding...
