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

Before nightfall, the sky was still dark.

It seemed as if it was going to rain at any moment, and the breeze blew, raising clouds of dust.

The capital of Jin Province should have been a prosperous ancient city, but now the city gates are closed, and so are the doors of the shops in the city.

Unlike the prosperous end of the original city, one position after another was built on the outskirts of the original city, and many tents were erected around it.

Some people who did not have tents simply built a shelter from the wind and rain with wooden sticks in the trenches.

In a simple temporary command room in the dense forest outside the original city.

Lin Tianchen summoned the commanders of the teams surrounding the original city.

Not to mention Chen's troops from the 771st Regiment, Chu Yunfei from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Li Yunlong and others, Lin Tianchen felt that they were the people he could trust with his back.

In the temporary command room, many militia captains appeared, their expressions full of excitement, and their nervous and uneasy hearts made them look around.

"Captain Zou, thank you for your hard work." After entering the command room, Chen Bu did not choose a relatively conspicuous position, but walked to Zou Min's side.

After all, this stage was built by Lin Tianchen, so he naturally wouldn't steal the show.

However, he knew some of the situations within Zou Min's team.

"Don't worry, you need to rest well after the battle in Yuancheng. This time you just follow me." Chen Bu sighed softly. More than half of Zou Min's team was killed, and those were all good soldiers.

Originally, he was planning to form a new third regiment with this team, but because it was transferred to Zhenhun Pass for support in the battle of Ping'an County, this matter was delayed.

When they went to Qiufeng Pavilion again, Zou Min cooperated with Lin Tianchen in fighting in various places.

A militia of over a thousand soldiers, following the fiercest fighting force in the entire Jin-Cha-Ji region, fought their way from Qiufengting, Beizhen, and even Niangziguan Pass without a single straggler left behind.

They recovered lost territories one after another and fought all the way here.

Losing more than half of the troops is indeed acceptable, after all, the combat intensity of the Tiger Guards is really too high.

The original force of more than a thousand people has been reduced to a team of less than four hundred people. The brutal battle always reminds him of the Third Battalion at Zhenhun Pass.

Chen Bu looked at Zou Min, who was a little dazed, and couldn't help but speak again:

"After the battle of Yuancheng, I will apply for the establishment of a regiment and transfer some soldiers to you so that you can develop well in the rear."

Chen's troops were very emotional. The situation in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei was gradually improving, but it was all thanks to the Tiger Guards and the sacrifices made by soldiers like Zou Min.

"That... well... I... fight for my country, all sacrifices are worth it, I fought with style in this battle." Zou Min held it in for a long time, his eyes full of helplessness. He wanted to undress and throw himself into the arms of the regiment commander, but if he didn't "sacrifice" now, he would really have no chance.

Chen Bu nodded approvingly. He liked soldiers like Zou Min.

"Well done, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives are also well done." Chen's troops never hesitate to praise such soldiers.

Zou Min, on the other hand, could only put on a smile.

Chu Yunfei, who was walking by, couldn't help but pause and looked at Zou Min with a strange look.

He felt a sense of urgency and subconsciously glanced at Sun Ming next to him. He now knew exactly what Zou Min was thinking, but it was because of his assistant that Zou Min did not sacrifice himself.

This made Chu Yunfei think of Sun Ming.

However, just as a chaotic thought emerged in his mind, a voice sounded in the command room. He looked up and saw the battalion commander of the first battalion of the Tiger Guard Regiment reporting the news sent back by various teams.

"There are no enemy troops moving towards Niangzi Pass. Meanwhile, the enemy troops in Xiyun, Jianghai, Xiasan...are only consolidating their defenses."

"The entire Yuancheng Japs closed in to avoid the battle..."

According to the information gathered by Wang Jiantang, the Japanese in Yuancheng were very likely prepared to hold out to the death to delay time and wait for reinforcements, but in his opinion, Yuancheng was already dead in name only.

In the combat meeting room, many people listened with excitement on their faces. Some militia captains even clenched their fists after just one report.

Each step is so difficult, and everyone knows their own suffering.

We finally have a chance to reclaim our former homeland.

After Wang Jiantang finished his report, Lin Tianchen glanced at everyone in the command room.

"Do you have any news about the Japanese reinforcements?" Although Lin Tianchen knew that there was probably no news, there was strength in numbers after all, so he wanted to hear some news about whether the Japanese reinforcements had arrived.

"No."

The atmosphere in the command room froze for a moment, and many people immediately shook their heads.

These responses did not surprise Lin Tianchen at all.

"Since there is none, then all the troops should make preparations," Lin Tianchen said with a serious face.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions tensed up and their eyes became serious.

"Our Tiger Guards will launch the first attack. After we break through one city gate, you will look for opportunities at other gates to put pressure on the Japanese."

"Because this battle is an urban battle, the Japanese dared to defend the original city, which means they are confident enough to use urban fighting to buy time... Therefore, teams that are not good at urban fighting should just keep the pressure on the Japanese and advance slowly."

"The South Gate is under the charge of our Tiger Guards."

"As for the rest, Chen Bu, you will be in charge of the north gate, Li Yunlong will be in charge of the east gate, and Kong Jie and Ding Wei will be in charge of the west gate."

Lin Tianchen suddenly looked towards the corner, which made Chen Bu, who was next to Zou Min, stunned.

"Row."

Chen Bu agreed, and Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei naturally nodded in agreement.

Lin Tianchen then looked at Chu Yunfei and said, "Just come with us."

Although he was slow with the other troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Lin Tianchen was grateful to Chu Yunfei from the bottom of his heart.

In the battle of Zhenhun Pass, if there had not been the 358th Regiment, the losses of the Third Battalion would have been much greater, especially since Chu Yunfei was supporting them under such circumstances.

"Row."

Chu Yunfei's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

Afterwards, Lin Tianchen made more detailed arrangements one after another. When he stepped out of the command room, the sky was already very dark.

"It's going to rain, and I'm afraid we'll have to fight in the rain." Chen Bu looked up with some emotion. Looking at the young man next to him, he really felt old.

Lin Tianchen followed Chen Bu's gaze and looked at the sky. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds. It was obvious that heavy rain might be coming soon.

This naturally increased the difficulty of their siege, but Lin Tianchen smiled slightly.

"It seems that God wants to help us wash our swords..." Lin Tianchen will not stop attacking because of the weather.

It was just rain, it couldn't stop him from moving forward.

"Yes, God is helping us to clean our swords. This time we are going to kill them all." Upon hearing this, Chen Bu was stunned, and his tone was immediately filled with murderous intent.

Li Yunlong and others, along with a group of militia captains, listened to the conversation between the two men, and their eyes revealed unprecedented murderous intent.

Everyone looked up to the sky.

Next their knives will be stained with blood and a great battle will be fought.

Chu Yunfei felt his body was very hot and couldn't help but twist his buttons a few times.

Sun Ming, who was standing aside, had a look of eagerness in his eyes. Recovering the homeland was equal to expanding the territory. He could hardly suppress his inner feelings.

Surrender...escape? Sun Ming muttered to himself. After this battle, the Tiger Guards would probably take a short rest before heading north.

If you don’t take it off now, you may lose your chance!

As the crowd gradually dispersed, each of them joined their own team to make final preparations for battle.

"It's time to take action." Chu Yunfei coughed twice and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes, Commander." Sun Ming responded calmly.

"....." Chu Yunfei listened to such a calm response and looked at the figures who were packing up their weapons.

I looked outside again. Dark clouds covered the moon and the stars were hidden. In the distance, the gates of the original city were closed and the lights were gone.

"Well, after this battle, the Lin Brigade will march north. We can no longer help the Lin Brigade fight the Japanese openly." Chu Yunfei finally sighed and said tentatively.

The words fell and the breeze blew.

After saying this, Sun Ming hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke:

"Commander...Commander, I think...we can join the Tiger Guards..." Sun Ming seemed to have made a great decision.

As soon as the words came out, Chu Yunfei's eyes flashed and his gaze instantly turned to Sun Ming.

"What do you mean?" Chu Yunfei suppressed the excitement in his heart.

After Sun Ming spoke out, he became less cautious and answered Chu Yunfei's questions one after another.

"Commander, if we are going to sacrifice, and we must do it quickly, it would be best if we could go from battalion to company, company to platoon, and platoon to squad, find out everything, count the people, and then take them all with us."

"Hu Er from the Second Company of the First Battalion has already made a plan."

"Commander, this battle must not be witnessed by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. In short, it must not be discovered by irrelevant people."

"Only if our sacrifice is genuine enough can we join the Northern Expedition when the Brigade Commander leaves Yuancheng..."

Sun Ming spoke excitedly, and at this moment he almost said all the words that had been suppressed in him for a long time.

He kept gesturing while speaking, and didn't dare to look at Chu Yunfei's expression the whole time.

Chu Yunfei looked at Sun Ming in front of him, somewhat bewildered.

More than 5,000 people in the entire regiment took off their uniforms and "sacrificed"?

This idea is so bold... He had never thought of it before. He originally thought that it would be a reasonable sacrifice for himself, but Sun Ming and his entire team were killed.

Sun Ming was relieved at once, but when he saw Chu Yunfei remained silent for a long time, Sun Ming's expression froze, and he asked weakly:

"Commander, I will definitely listen to you..."

Chu Yunfei immediately interrupted loudly, his tone full of affirmation:

“Your advice is great, I’ll do as you say!!!”

If he had known this would happen, he would have brought it up earlier, but it doesn't seem too late now.

It's all because of empiricism... Chu Yunfei thought of Zou Min and couldn't help but mutter in his heart. The more he looked at his deputy, the more satisfied he became.
