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

In the warm spring of March, under the blue sky, the smoke of gunpowder instantly filled the entire Ping'an County like a beacon fire.

The shells were poured down crazily as if they were free, causing the ammunition to explode from time to time and the screams of the Japanese soldiers.

The sound of gunfire rang out from all directions, never stopping, and the shouts of killing were incessant.

Lin Tianchen's three battalions, plus a cavalry company, led their troops into Ping'an County. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike can be breached by a single ant hole. The opening of a gap caused panic among the Japanese soldiers in the entire Ping'an County.

What's more, Lin Tianchen's three battalions, with flags flying and shouts of killing everywhere, formed small teams in twos and threes, cooperating with each other, one link after another, one level after another, and advancing madly.

The Independent Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and many militia teams that came to help made the entire Ping'an County look like it was ready for annihilation.

A few miles away from Ping'an County, on a hilltop.

The moment the bursts of artillery fire sounded, everyone here looked towards the direction of Ping'an County almost at the same time.

Some people even picked up their notebooks and pens as soon as possible, wanting to record how Lin Tianchen had conquered Ping'an County. However, at this moment, they felt like they had no idea where to start.

Because in Ping'an County, a bombing zone was directly formed, a bombing zone formed by more than 30 mortars, which directly opened the way for the troops.

From the moment the explosion sounded, they never stopped, directly suppressing the Japanese on the city gate tower without firing a single shot.

"Artillery fire clears the way." Some people summarized quickly, but just as they finished summarizing, when they reacted.

The city gate of Ping'an County had been blown open, and a group of more than 2,000 people had rushed in.

In other places, on the other hand, their soldiers were still in some bunkers under the city gate tower, fighting with the Japanese on the battlefield.

The regiment's charge had no intention of stopping. Once it started, every soldier stared intently at the front.

The feeling it gives them is speed, a speed they have never experienced before.

It was so fast that it was unbelievable. The Japanese soldiers had no time to react. With the artillery fire covering the front, the city gate was broken.

"They went straight into the city?" Song Yi was stunned by the scene in the distance and was speechless.

It felt like a piece of cake. Although most of the Japanese soldiers in the city had not returned yet, there were still three thousand Japanese soldiers guarding the city.

"The charge was incredibly fast, and the artillery was accurate. There was coordination between the battalions, between the teams, even their routes. Every soldier coordinated with each other, and the artillery fire was used to suppress the enemy."

Song Yi pondered it carefully, his eyes filled with passion, even a hint of obsession. He was the chief of staff, so how could he not want to have such a force in front of him.

Whether it was the cavalry, the artillery, or every soldier in them, the coordination between each other, gathering in twos and threes, seemed very disorganized, but he discovered that in the small teams composed of twos and threes, when one or two soldiers charged, there was always someone providing fire support.

This kind of cross-attack made the Japanese unable to raise their heads.

Then there are the artillery, which are completely clearing out the Japanese's firepower points. They can observe the Japanese's firepower points from outside the city. With this kind of insight, it is no surprise that they can win so many battles.

As for the artillery, Song Yi thought about it seriously. Even if they had such artillery, they did not have so many artillery shells and mortars to support them.

Because of the artillery support in this battle, in the round of volleys during the siege alone, at least more than sixty shells fell on various firing points and city gate towers in Ping'an County in a short period of time.

It is obviously unrealistic for them to maintain these shells, especially in a regiment, but precisely because of this, Song Yi has a clearer understanding of Lin Tianchen's combat power.

You have to know that Lin Tianchen built up a small force step by step. These artillery shells, guns and ammunition were basically supported by fighting.

In Song Yi's opinion, war is actually a battle of logistics, transportation, armament manufacturing in the rear, etc. There is no problem in accumulating for a long time to fight a big war by fighting to support the war, but people like Lin Tianchen rely entirely on fighting to support the war to rise, and they always fight in the vanguard position.

In ancient times, armies that were able to support wars through war left a great reputation in history.

This army... Song Yi looked at the one in front of him in a daze. In his opinion, this army was not inferior to the armies that had left a great reputation in history, and it might even be more impressive.

In ancient times, the world used cold weapons, but now it is the era of guns and artillery. The gap between them is far greater than that between cold weapons.

Song Yi exhaled lightly. The combat effectiveness of this unit, whether it was reviewed every time or seen with his own eyes, was refreshing his understanding of combat effectiveness.

At this moment, a hurried voice came from the side, approaching from afar.

"Boss, the latest telegram says that the mechanized troops from Taigu County have begun maneuvering towards Ping'an County."

The soldier who came to report walked up to the man in the military coat.

As soon as the words came out, the boss and Song Yi looked at each other, their faces suddenly became serious. Taigu County is the Acropolis of Ping'an County.

Pinglu Yongfu's 4th Brigade went to Taigu County, the Heidao Cavalry Regiment, and also the mechanized troops.

Moreover, if the mechanized troops were dispatched to provide support, even if they ambushed them on the road, they could only delay time at best and would not be able to stop the advance of the tanks at all.

If Ping'an County was not completely captured, by the time the Japanese mechanized troops arrived to provide support, not only would they not be able to clear out the remaining Japanese in the city, they would most likely be attacked from both sides and surrounded in Ping'an County.

When Song Yi thought of this, his expression became very serious.

"The reinforcements returned faster than expected. The Japanese had taken precautions in advance...Have the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments made contact with them?" The man in the military coat asked in a serious tone, looking towards Ping'an County.

"We have already contacted the first line of defense at the Fifteen-Li Small Temple."

When the old boss heard this, he slowly put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, and his eyes once again rested in the direction of Ping'an County.

Now it was a street fight. Although the balance of power was already clear under Lin Tianchen's command, the Japanese mechanized troops were already on the way to support them. He knew very well what this meant.

But he knew even more clearly that the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments could not stop the Japanese mechanized troops. They had already fought halfway to Ping'an County and the victory was obvious. It was impossible for them to withdraw just like that.

"The food is already on the table, how can we not eat? Order the Independent Regiment to quickly wipe out the remaining Japanese invaders in Ping'an County. If the district battalion failed to stop the Japanese invaders in Erdaohezi, the militia will immediately send reinforcements to Ping'an County. Also, send someone into the city immediately to inform Commander Lin of this news and get his opinion. Report back immediately if there is any news."

He took a few steps, then stopped and faced Ping'an County. The cold wind blew on his body. He did not hesitate at all when he spoke these orders.

Although he also knew that there would be casualties in war, some wars had to be fought.

Song Yi listened to the orders, looked at his firm words, and immediately turned around and issued these orders.

In Ping'an County.

The usually bustling streets have turned into battlefields.

"Area 65, town center, 20 meters to the left, two shells slightly offset."

On the city wall occupied in the east of the city, Lin Tianchen leaned against the wall and did not continue to advance. After all, the environment in the city was complicated. Once the telephone lines were destroyed, the attacks of various camps would most likely be hindered.

So on the city wall, Lin Tianchen observed the situation in the entire Ping'an County, and at the same time conveyed the order to attack to Zhuzi. Although the area planning was urgent, he had already marked the distance between the mortar positions and each area.

With the improvement of Zhuzi's artillery attack ability and Lin Tianchen's special teaching of map reading, Zhuzi also found the hit rate of the artillerymen based on the distance.

In other words, the pillars already have the ability to fight beyond visual range and attack based entirely on the map, provided that the map is drawn accurately enough.

The dense red dots in Area 65 and the mortars being set up were reduced to two intense flashes of fire shortly after Lin Tianchen gave the order.

boom!

The two explosions were heard from a street three or four blocks away.

The Japanese soldiers fled in all directions in an instant. The sound of iron weapons falling heavily to the ground echoed around, and the wailing of the Japanese soldiers sounded in the streets.

"Commander, Captain Ding has sent word that the Eighth Route Army says the Japanese mechanized forces have appeared at Shiwuli Xiaomiao, and Commander Kong and his men are blocking them."

Xiao Shanzi ran from the alley and told Lin Tianchen the news.

When Lin Tianchen heard this, his clear eyes paused slightly and his expression became more serious.

Xiao Shanzi immediately understood and took out a map from his bag and spread it in front of Lin Tianchen.

Lin Tianchen immediately glanced at the map and looked at the location of the Shiwuli Temple. Then he looked at the remaining red dots in Ping'an County on the visual map.

"Order the Second Battalion to clear out the Japanese from areas 69 and 68 east of the city. Have the First Battalion and the Cavalry Company go to area 58 and take away the heavy weapons from the Japanese warehouses, including ammunition and any anti-tank weapons. Prepare to leave the city."

Lin Tianchen thought about it seriously and spoke quickly.

Xiao Shanzi put the map away in his bag and picked up the two-color flag from Fang Bailu's hand.

Lin Tianchen's eyes were filled with seriousness and a hint of regret. According to his ideal situation, he should have completely annihilated Ping'an County before engaging in a clash with the mechanized troops...

However, the mechanized troops' return was much faster than Lin Tianchen had expected. Facing this mechanized force, it was naturally impossible for him to fight with it in the city.

The most important thing now is to finish off all the fronts and leave the rest to the friendly forces. He has to get out of the city as soon as possible. After all, combat effectiveness can only be maximized when there is sufficient strategic depth outside the city.

Therefore, Lin Tianchen only issued the order to intercept two city walls, and the remaining city wall has not been taken down for the time being. If the mechanized troops come slowly, he will naturally control this city wall as well and catch the turtle in the jar.

But now, the mechanized troops arrived faster than he expected.
