Yang Xianling, inside the headquarters command room.

A figure took the commendation telegram and took a few glances at it.

"Boss, Shancheng only sent a commendation telegram this time, with no intention of providing any equipment or supplies. They published all the photos we sent to the newspapers they control, openly urging the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to follow the example of the Tiger Guards and fight more battles like this in northwest Shanxi."

Song Yi said as he handed over the commendation telegram in his hand.

The words on it clearly stated that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army must obey the command of Shancheng like the Tiger Guards.

"Follow his orders? The whole mountain city is in turmoil now, and you still have the mood to do these little tricks? If Wuchang is lost, the attack will go straight to Yichang, our doorstep!"

"Furthermore, Qiong Island is under control, the landing in Guangdong and Guangxi is rapidly advancing, various parts of East China are being cleared out, and North China is under encirclement. We are actually being gradually eroded by a tiny piece of land."

"Now is the time to unite. Letting the whole country see the battle at Zhenhun Pass and the victory in Ping'an County is the top priority. However, Shancheng is only offering no equipment. You have to know that the Tiger Guards are nominally affiliated with them. They are just playing tricks."

The words were a bit extreme and his eyes revealed anger. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess what the man in Shancheng was thinking.

Although the battle of Ping'an County had a great local impact, its significance was not as great as imagined from the perspective of the overall defensive strategy, but this was not something that the defensive strategy could compare to. Instead, they won a victory.

But after being publicized in Shancheng, this matter has really changed its meaning.

"However, in Pudong and other areas of the underground newspaper industry, we used intelligence personnel to copy and distribute those photos, and they received a huge response."

"There were also demonstrations in many areas, and many people with lofty ideals, including some wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, began to donate supplies, and many joined the anti-Japanese forces."

"In the mountain city alone, there were three demonstrations in one day. Furthermore, within many Nationalist units, the reports from the underground newspapers and those clear-text telegrams had already spread among them. The bloody battle at Zhenhun Pass became a model for many soldiers."

“Even the 33rd Army heading to the Wuchang battlefield distributed a copy of this newspaper to each battalion.”

We learned through telegrams that many newspapers in Pudong and other places had spontaneously spread the news.

Song Yi felt the changes in the soldiers around him and learned about the situation from various places. The battle situation was not optimistic, but the will to resist was obviously stronger.

"Many soldiers are good, but they just don't know how to use their talents. That damn Yan Laoxi just treats Lin Tianchen as a soldier. It's okay for me to be conservative, but I also have unrealistic fantasies." The old general cursed, his eyes fixed on the map of northwest Shanxi.

But the more he looked at the black lines on the map that divided the base into large and small areas, the more he didn't want to look at the map anymore.

After taking Ping'an County, he ordered the 771st Regiment to make some moves, but before the entire regiment got close, they were detected by planes in the sky, forcing them to retreat.

According to intelligence, the train stations at Niangzi Pass, Beizhen Station, Qiufengting, Xiyun Station, etc. have long been heavily guarded by the Japanese.

Basically, at every train station, there are several armored trains ready to start at any time, and there are also tanks on the train station. This really makes him a little scared, because these heavy troops may appear at any time where the railway may reach, and launch a quick attack.

"These train stations... must be destroyed." The boss muttered as he looked at the train stations on the map.

The situation across the country is very chaotic, but the situation in northwestern Shanxi and the Jin-Cha-Yi region is not optimistic either.

At this time, a burst of quick footsteps was heard, and a communicator quickly ran into the command room.

"Report, the latest news from Dashimen Village." As he said this, he handed a telegram to the two of them.

When the boss heard the news from Dashimen Village, his eyes flashed slightly. He immediately took the telegram and took a look at it. Then he looked at the map again and handed the telegram to Song Yi.

His eyes kept scanning the stations, which looked like a cage shaped like a tic-tac-toe, and his eyes gradually became sharper.

"Boss, they have only been resting for a short time. Isn't it too hasty?" Song Yi said with some concern.

Although he was well aware of Lin Tianchen's strength and believed that Lin Tianchen had a way, not only had the Third Battalion suffered heavy losses, but the entire regiment had also suffered more or less casualties in Ping'an County.

The team's soldiers, rations, and supplies all need to be prepared. He did not expect Lin Tianchen to be ready to go out so quickly.

"He is not a man who is impatient. He wants to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese have not been able to fully implement their strategic intentions and have not yet established a firm foothold, so that the Japanese dare not take action..." The boss' tone was a little excited. This looked like a cage with crisscrossing lines in the shape of a well.

A sharp knife will be coming. If Lin Tianchen's sharp knife pierces into the enemy's rear and cooperates with other bases, once a hole is cut in these strong vines, the result will be different.

The more I think about it, the more I feel there's no need to wait any longer:

"Telegraph to all departments, harass all railway lines continuously. Bomb and run. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance."

"In short, we must not sit idly by and wait for death. When they finish repairing the railway, we will bomb it. If there are heavy troops guarding it, we will bomb it in another place! We cannot let them live in peace. We must stir up trouble..."

"Also, contact the other regiments. This time, we will cooperate with Lin Tianchen in the counterattack... Fight!!"

A firm tone appeared in the command room, and a large group of staff members instantly became serious.

"Yes!"

They had thought about counterattacks countless times before, and now, that counterattack seemed to be just around the corner.

......

......

Black Cloud Village.

The night is as dark as ink, and the sound of insects begins to rise.

Xiao Xuewen stood outside the temporary hospital, looking up at the starry sky, dazed and absent-minded.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Xuewen slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the temporary hospital where faint firelight was flickering.

Suddenly, he straightened his clothes, which were a military uniform like a soldier's. Then, looking at the fire lit in the Juyi Hall of Heiyun Village, he walked towards the Juyi Hall without hesitation.

After taking only a few steps, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Have you decided?"

Xiao Xuewen paused when he heard the words, and looked in the direction of the voice, his eyes fell on Ma Shunqiang who appeared behind him.

Behind Ma Shunqiang, Zhang Yue and other doctors who came from Pudong were all standing there.

Beside them are apprentices such as Song Liangyu and Li Youxin...

Looking at the pairs of eyes falling on him, Xiao Xuewen smiled.

"Well, it's decided." Xiao Xuewen nodded.

"Tell the team leader that we want to go too..." Ma Shunqiang looked at Xiao Xuewen, whose face was vaguely visible in the night, and said in a firm tone, "This is our unanimous decision. We have also voted on who will stay behind to look after us."

Xiao Xuewen was stunned when he heard this. He scanned the figures one by one, seeing that they all looked at him without any avoidance.

"Okay." Xiao Xuewen thought about it and finally nodded.

Then he turned around and walked alone in the direction of the light.

In the Juyi Hall, the time for the expedition was approaching. Lin Tianchen was looking at the map and planning the route forward.

After all, this expedition is a protracted war.

The guns and ammunition he carried were basically two or three times overloaded. Even if he wanted to attack Qiufengting again, he would first need to find a foothold and put most of the weapons and ammunition away.

Furthermore, he also planned to bring the newly recruited soldiers with him and use one or two small-scale battles to train these new recruits.

Only in this way can they adapt quickly instead of staying in a greenhouse all the time.

Just as Lin Tianchen was thinking, he heard footsteps, which made him look up at the person coming.

"Doctor Xiao?" Lin Tianchen was a little surprised and looked at Xiao Xuewen, who was wearing a military uniform, as he walked in.

"The captain is setting off tomorrow, and we have to follow him. I think we can all adapt." Xiao Xuewen said seriously.

When it comes to treatment, the sooner the better.

Lin Tianchen did not respond immediately, his eyes fell on Xiao Xuewen. Doctors are a very valuable resource in this era.

Field doctors are fighting against the devil on the battlefield to save lives.

However, it is difficult for people who have not experienced the battlefield to adapt to the hail of bullets in the first place.

However, considering the situation this time, Lin Tianchen thought about it and finally nodded:

"The battlefield is chaotic, so try to stay in the back."

"Yes!!"

After hearing the affirmative reply, Xiao Xuewen immediately straightened his body and saluted in imitation of the military.
