Black Cloud Village, inside the Juyi Hall.

On a map, each railway line is drawn with thick lines, and the train station is marked with a red dot.

"Take a good look at these new arrangements of the devils on these maps and tell us what you think."

Lin Tianchen sat in front of everyone and spoke in a serious tone.

Northwest Shanxi was too quiet, but beneath this calm, there were undercurrents. The Japanese's spring offensive was temporarily suspended, and the new arrangements made Lin Tianchen feel the crisis.

The railway line is like a cage that imprisons them. Not only does it isolate the various bases, but it also makes them feel like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Captain, it seems the Japanese are trying to surround us one by one. The railways in this area are all controlled by the Japanese. These Japanese strongholds are all on the railway lines. The farthest between strongholds is only 50 kilometers. Moreover, a large train station is heavily guarded by Japanese troops."

Wang Jiantang looked at the map and said in a serious tone that after the regiment commander drew the map, he instantly understood the strategic intentions of the Japanese.

Not only were each area surrounded by the Japanese, but many areas seemed to be under the control of the base. However, in reality, as long as the Japanese used the railway to launch a military operation, the base would be in name only.

As long as there is a large-scale mobilization, the soldiers in these bases will have no chance to fight back against the Japanese troops of equal strength. After all, the weapons in these places are very weak.

"Captain, we are all surrounded."

Li Weiguo was in Ping'an County, looking at the surrounding railway lines and the Japanese strongholds, and spoke seriously.

Once we really engage in battle with the Japanese, the seemingly small number of Japanese soldiers may turn into a large battle with more than 10,000 people within an hour.

Within two hours, the number of people may continue to rise.

The Japanese used railway lines and strongholds to form a grid-like encirclement, and they could see the threat at a glance.

Lin Tianchen was not surprised that Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo could see the situation at a glance. At this time, he fixed his eyes on another figure.

Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo followed Lin Tianchen's gaze and landed on Gao Jiecheng, and couldn't help but say:

"Xiao Gao, just say whatever you want to say. Don't worry about it."

"That's right, learn from Lao Ding. He has a lot of things to say."

Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo were still very harmonious at this time.

After all, Gao Jiecheng was the youngest among the three of them, only slightly older than Lin Tianchen. His tone was much gentler when speaking to this new battalion commander of the third battalion, who was not tall and had a rather handsome appearance, than when speaking to Ding Jiaguo.

"Captain, I think the Japanese have changed their strategic deployment this time from focusing on occupying land to focusing on annihilating their manpower. I think they're feeling the pressure the guerrillas are putting on their logistics."

After Gao Jiecheng finished speaking, he pointed at the map with a long wooden stick in his hand and said again:

"The battle in Ping'an County was actually just a prelude. The Japanese have changed their deployment a lot this time, using their strengths to make up for their weaknesses. However, the Japanese are a small country, and they are fighting wars in South Asia, the North, and the Pacific Islands. The troops on our land are not their entire main force."

"Their deployment is designed to maximize the effectiveness of the minimum available force. They leverage their strengths, mobility, and equipment to break up the encirclements in northwest Shanxi, allowing their large forces to directly crush the enemy's effective forces."

"This will not only be a strategic victory, but will also deal a psychological blow to our soldiers."

"Look, Beizhen Station... these important train stations are actually important transit points for the Japanese railway encirclement. The key point further away is Niangzi Pass, and the one closest to us is Qiufengting, which is also an important transportation transit point."

"If we want to break the deadlock, we can't just blow up the railway with the old idea. Although it's faster to blow up than to repair, it's only a temporary solution. Only by destroying and taking down these important train stations and letting the Japanese know that we have the ability to take down their key stations will their strategic deployment be thwarted. However, last time, Commander, you led your team to attack Qiufengting. This time, I estimate that your force is quite large, and we're forming an angle with several other important stations."

"Of course, these cages aren't unbreakable. As long as we're strong enough, we can liberate an area once we capture the station."

Gao Jiecheng never stopped talking once he started. His voice was the only one heard in the entire Juyi Hall.

Whether it was Lin Tianchen or Wang Jiantang and the others, they were all listening attentively.

And every time when the key points were mentioned, Wang Jiantang would take notes carefully. After Gao Jiecheng finished speaking, the entire Juyi Hall immediately became much quieter.

Lin Tianchen's gaze also remained on the map, looking at the train stations, and confirmed Gao Jiecheng's idea.

His eyes fell on Gao Jiecheng, and he looked at him as if he had found a treasure.

"Let the logistics department prepare sufficient supplies. We can't rest any longer. The entire regiment must prepare for battle." Lin Tianchen said in a serious tone.

"Yes!"

The moment the order was given, the three of them immediately straightened up.

Because they all knew what Lin Tianchen's order meant.

When the three of them left the Juyi Hall and just stepped out of the hall, Li Weiguo couldn't help but look at Gao Jiecheng.

"Xiao Gao, that's great. Where did you learn all this?" Li Weiguo said with some curiosity.

The analysis and comments just now made in the Juyi Hall were very clear and logical.

"I was a student of the 16th class of Whampoa Military Academy. I couldn't stand some of the concepts, so I dropped out halfway through my studies and have been following Captain Ding ever since." Gao Jiecheng said, touching his head.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo stopped and their eyes stayed on Gao Jiecheng. They looked at each other and asked almost in unison.

"What did Ding Jiaguo give you that made you follow him all the time?" Li Weiguo looked a little strange.

Wang Jiantang also cast a curious look at him.

"He is my brother-in-law."

"............" Li Weiguo was speechless for a moment.

"Are you sure he is your brother-in-law and not your second uncle?" Wang Jiantang on the side also blinked and looked at Gao Jiecheng in front of him seriously.
