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

At noon, Ping'an County is both the same and different from usual days, with teams coming in and out.

Among the troops entering the city, there were many militiamen who had evacuated here.

On a large flat ground at the main gate, a group of soldiers were digging some deep pits, but due to lack of time, only a small area was dug.

In other places, some soldiers were moving sandbags, piling up small mounds and then burying them with soil.

Some soldiers buried the long, shattered gun barrels in the ground, leaving the iron pillars exposed on the ground. In many areas, mines were also specially buried.

"Captain, we've really taken Ping'an County, but we're still digging holes and making slopes..."

At the foot of the city gate, Qiu Yuanqi looked at the three large characters on the main gate that he rarely recognized, revealing his excitement. However, when he looked at the scenes below the city gate, his face became solemn again.

They received a coordinated order to rush back to Ping'an County from Erdaohezi to garrison. When they received the order, they did not expect that Ping'an County could be captured so quickly.

Qiu Yuanqi thought they would lie in ambush in Erdaohezi for three or four days.

"Let the soldiers prepare, there may be a battle soon."

Ma Kanghui had a serious expression on his face as he watched the Eighth Route Army soldiers in military uniforms building defensive positions on the city gate tower. There was a strong sense of solemnity in his expression as it was obvious that these soldiers were preparing for the upcoming battle.

After the failure of the last ambush, Ma Kanghui also realized his own problems, so after receiving some coordination instructions, he chose to cooperate without saying a word.

"Help." Ma Kanghui took a look and said.

At this moment, suddenly bursts of roars came from the sky.

The moment the roar was heard, almost all the soldiers in the area looked up at the sky unconsciously.

"Hide! Japs planes!"

"Hide!! Hide quickly!! Stop digging, just hide inside."

A moment after the words fell, the wings of the plane blocked the sun, and a shadow of the plane passed under Ping'an County. Arcs of light sounded in the sky, and in an instant, many soldiers in Ping'an County began to look for cover.

Some troops outside the city were evacuating and preparing to enter the city. Huge flames shot up into the sky, and heat waves followed. Some soldiers raised their spears and fired one shot after another.

But apart from the sound of the falling bombs exploding, the fighter planes flew farther and farther away.

Even after this bombing, Ma Kanghui heard a dull rumbling sound and subconsciously looked back.

"...The Japanese bastards are coming." Ma Kanghui immediately shouted loudly.

Many people naturally also saw the turtle box appearing in the distance. Compared with the fighter planes in the sky, its flesh and blood were so fragile.

They had no way to care about the sacrificed soldiers. Even though their bodies were already in pieces, each soldier stared at the turtle box that appeared in the distance.

"Go into the city, go into the city quickly..."

"Ready to fight!"

A series of hurried voices rang out, but the roar came from the sky again, and the second batch of bombers appeared again.

Ma Kanghui looked up with a feeling of helplessness in his heart, and quickly entered Ping'an County with the soldiers next to him.

The explosions continued and there was fire everywhere.

They shed blood on their own land. Ma Kanghui's eyes were red as he stared at the troops advancing rapidly from afar.

Tanks were lined up on the ruins outside Ping'an County. Behind them, a row of trucks were parked on the flat ground in the distance, and the Japanese began to get off the trucks in an orderly manner.

There were quite a few three-wheeled motorcycles among the troops, each of which was equipped with a heavy machine gun.

Some trucks were carrying some cannons.

There were twelve Type 92 guns lined up in a row at the rear.

These Japanese soldiers did not launch a charge, but instead set up artillery fire in places where the firepower in the city could not reach them.

Along with the deployment of artillery, the continuous bombardment in the sky made it impossible for them to raise their heads.

But suddenly, a violent roar was heard in the sky again.

boom! boom!

One after another, the shells streaked across the sky, forming an arc, and then landed in Ping'an County or on the city walls.

Explosions followed one after another.

After the artillery bombardment, the tanks began to advance slowly. Some Japanese soldiers squatted behind the tanks, occasionally sticking their heads out and firing.

"Commander! Our mortars can't reach their artillery."

A huge explosion was heard, and Zhang Dabiao bent over and came to Li Yunlong's side and spoke loudly, with an obviously ugly expression on his face.

The battle had just begun for less than five minutes, and they had never encountered such intensity of bombing in the sky and artillery fire from the Japanese.

Compared with this battle, the previous battles were like a game, and they didn't take them as opponents at all. But this time the Japanese obviously used all their strength. The bombers in the sky flew over without any scruples and dropped powerful bombs.

The artillery fire has never stopped since it appeared.

"Stay in your bunker and don't come out. Move closer, and then there will be no shelling."

Li Yunlong brushed off the dust on his hat, exhaled lightly, and gave an order.

Lying on the position, holding a telescope, looking at the rows of tanks and the artillery fire in the distance, Li Yunlong swallowed his saliva. The flying sand and stones and the continuous flames suppressed the soldiers guarding Ping'an County, making it impossible for them to raise their heads, let alone fight back.

A huge roar came from the distant city wall, followed by flashes of fire that washed over the old city walls.

The firepower of this mechanized force far exceeded the level of the Japanese he encountered.

Li Yunlong clearly saw a city wall on the right wing, which was directly blasted with a big hole by artillery fire and was penetrated.

"Everyone, get your spirits up! That damned Captain Lin wants us to hold on, so we have to hold on to Ping'an County for me! Give him a chance, and he can bite off a bigger piece of meat from the Japanese."

Li Yunlong spoke loudly. Dust and gravel fell from above, hitting him and causing him some pain, but now the whole team needed his voice, otherwise their spirit would be destroyed by the little ghost.

Kong Jie, who had just entered Ping'an County, had a gloomy face, because he had just arrived in Ping'an County when the bombing came and then the mechanized troops arrived.

Most importantly, his current location is on the right wing.

"Xie Yulin, you lead the team yourself. Have the entire regiment hold the opening on the right flank and don't let them get in easily. If you really can't hold it, just engage in street fighting. The boss is in Ping'an County. This time, I must let him see if we are using leavened dough."

Kong Jie was lying not far away and spoke loudly.

If the Japanese were allowed to enter the city, it would be a street fight. After arriving in Ping'an County, he understood that this battle in Ping'an County would not be simple, as the general was personally in charge in Ping'an County.

In the rear, troops from the surrounding areas were constantly pouring in. The scale of the battle clearly showed that they were planning a head-on confrontation with Kishibe Yuta's mechanized troops and the 4th Brigade.

As soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, a huge explosion sounded instantly. The heavy firepower of the Japanese army directly made it so that no intact piece of the city wall was left.

Pingan County.

"Three thousand devils suppressed the nearly ten thousand defenders..."

In a city wall, a figure in a coat slowly put down the telescope in his hand, his eyes looking very solemn.

He knew that the reason why the Japanese waited until the end of winter to launch the spring offensive was because of their mechanized troops.

It's not just because of the dozen or so tanks, but also because of their mobility and heavy firepower suppression, which are unmatched by the base's troops.

If he had encountered the combination of bombers and heavy firepower before, he felt that he would only be defeated. Even today, the explosions ringing everywhere around him made him feel extremely heavy in his heart.

Just as he was watching him and looking at the battlefield, Song Yi's voice came at this time.

"Boss, this is the Tiger Guards' messenger. He was the one who reported to the 772nd Regiment last time."

The man in the coat slowly turned his head and saw a thin and small figure appear next to Song Yi. He was wearing a patched and shrunken military uniform, a shoulder bag around his waist, and black cloth shoes covered in mud. It was the little soldier he had met before.

He was led in by a staff officer, holding something in his hand.

"The people from the Tiger Guards Regiment said they hope we can defend Ping'an County for ten hours. Commander Lin and his men have a way to deal with this mechanized force." After entering, the staff officer immediately reported.

Upon hearing this, the man in the military coat immediately took the map and began to read it carefully.

A simple hand-drawn map with only a dozen lines and three locations.

Ping'an County, Zhenhun Pass, a small temple fifteen miles away.

Just one glance, and at this moment, he instantly understood what Lin Tianchen was going to do, and suddenly looked up at Xiaoshanzi.

"Tell your commander that I will stay in Ping'an County and let him fight freely. We have already sent a reinforcement regiment to Zhenhun Pass. We must make sure that the blocking troops can hold out until then."

As he said this, he placed the map in his hand on the table with a serious expression.

Xiao Shanzi nodded heavily, straightened his body and saluted, then turned around and left quickly.

Looking at the departing figure, he quickly retracted his gaze and fixed it on the map. He spoke in a serious tone, "There are only two combat missions now."

"First: No matter what means are used, hold Ping'an County for ten hours, mobilize all available forces around Ping'an County, and move closer to Ping'an County."

"Lin Tianchen's goal is now very clear. He wants to stop the 4th Brigade and eliminate Kishibe Yuta's mechanized troops. They are small in number, so we can only divide our forces to stop them. Let Chen's 771st Regiment, led by him, rush to Zhenhun Pass as quickly as possible."

After hearing these orders, Song Yi said firmly: "Yes!!"

After saying that, he began to give orders.

The sound of gunfire continued, and bursts of flames flashed from the distance.

Black smoke rose from all over Ping'an County. The devastated county was completely destroyed, with no intact place left. The Japanese artillery fire continued to bombard the centuries-old buildings in the city.
