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

Guiyang Mountain.

In July in the northern mountains at night, the Tiger Guards experienced hot days and cool nights.

Fortunately, Chen Qiang's Northeast Combat Manual already had a detailed description of the temperature difference between day and night, and Lin Tianchen had also made sufficient preparations, so many soldiers were not greatly affected.

They were also adapting to the conditions in the Northeast. Many resistance teams left behind caves where they could burn wood for heating.

A cave dug against the mountain that can accommodate nearly twenty people. This kind of cave is actually a cave dug, and then the soil layer above is supported by wood, and then the surrounding area is expanded, compacted with soil and covered with a layer of grass.

The surrounding area is surrounded by rolling mountains, so this kind of cave is naturally not easy to detect.

Lin Tianchen was sitting on a simple wooden block with an old-fashioned oil lamp above his head. There was some wood burning in the earthen stove next to him, and the smoke was being discharged through the flue.

In front of him was a table made of several pieces of wood.

Lin Tianchen was busy, apparently drawing something, and Wang Jiantang walked in and approached quickly.

"Brigade Commander, Monk Wei and the others have returned, and Xiaoshanzi brought back a topographic map with them." Wang Jiantang came to the table with a map in his hand and handed it to Lin Tianchen.

After saying this, he paused slightly and spoke again:

"Brigade Commander, in the Nuru Erhu Mountains, besides the road and railway near the foot of the mountain, there is a Japanese stronghold at the intersection, and a logging camp is under construction at the foot of the mountain."

"That's all I know. It's a bit difficult to figure out the news."

There was some helplessness in Wang Jiantang's eyes. He was unfamiliar with the place and it was not easy to get this information.

According to the news brought back by Monk Wei, the laborers in the logging camps at the foot of the mountain are all ordinary people, and some Japanese pioneer groups are the supervisors.

Less than ten kilometers away from the logging site, there is a railway used to transport timber. However, this railway can only be used to transport timber under normal circumstances. If a war breaks out, the railway can be used to transport Japanese soldiers.

Lin Tianchen took the map in his hand, took a look at it, and immediately put it aside.

"Is there any news about Dark Tiger?" Lin Tianchen turned to look at Fang Bailu.

It has been some time since they entered the three northeastern provinces, and they need to obtain more intelligence to support the next battle.

Fang Bailu heard this and shook his head. "Apart from the usual contacts, there's no news from Dark Tiger. However, we did get in touch with him a while ago, and he told us to be careful of the spies hiding among the people."

"Ah."

Lin Tianchen didn't want to put too much pressure on the intelligence department which was just starting out.

"Chen Qiang has an uncle here who is an old soldier. He may know something about this." Wang Jiantang thought for a while and spoke.

"Please come here." Lin Tianchen said without hesitation after hearing this.

As Wang Jiantang arranged people to notify, Lin Tianchen silently stared at the map with a thoughtful look in his eyes. Although there was little intelligence, they still had to fight, because the less intelligence they had, the less likely it would be for the Japanese to reveal their flaws.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative to start a war and look for the Japanese's weaknesses.

Not long after, the soldiers arranged by Wang Jiantang appeared with two figures. One of them had a very old face, and the other was Chen Qiang, whom Lin Tianchen had met.

A moment later, a figure in his late 50s approached the cave.

Although he had undergone a simple cleanup, his face was still heavily wrinkled and half of his hair was white, but his figure was very capable, and it was conceivable that this physique was the result of years of mountain running.

"Lin Lu." Zhang Sencheng's eyes have been on Lin Tianchen since he stepped in.

The commander of a troop of nearly 10,000 people actually looked so weak and frail. Yet, it was in this weak state that he led the Tiger Brigade all the way north to this point.

But he knew that it was because of this person that the entire Tiger Guard Brigade was supported and led them all the way north to this place.

They returned to their homeland again with their children.

"Seventh Uncle, let me make it short. How much do you know about Guiyang Mountain and Nuru Erhu Mountain?" Lin Tianchen didn't exchange too many pleasantries, but went straight to the point.

Lin Tianchen had almost gathered all the information about the terrain distribution and the Japanese troop deployment, but he didn't have a complete grasp of the surrounding forces, the distribution of the Japanese in more distant places, and the remaining resistance fighters in the surrounding areas.

If a fight is to take place, Lin Tianchen naturally hopes to obtain more complete information.

"Guiyang Mountain is no longer what it used to be. This large area was swept by the Japanese half a year ago."

"A logging camp has been built at the foot of the Nuruhu Mountains. Guiyang Mountain is just a small hill within the Nuruhu Mountains. There are only two guerrilla groups with less than a hundred people around. Since the March Incident, the atmosphere of resistance in the three northeastern provinces has been very low, and many groups have already begun to evacuate."

"But three or four months ago, the large-scale Japanese troops stationed at the foot of the mountain began to evacuate and move to other places to set up camp. Only one large group was stationed at the logging camp."

"But to the south is Jincheng, a battleground in the Central Plains. The Japanese have heavily guarded it, and their forces can quickly reach it via the railway. And to the east is Yuzhou, which... has long been a coal base for the Japanese. I know of three large coal mines there."

"And to the southeast is Shengjing, the headquarters of the devils."

"..."

Zhang Sencheng looked at the huge map in front of him and introduced some local conditions.

From the distribution of Japanese forces in the surrounding areas to the soft soil on each hilltop of Guiyang Mountain where trenches could be dug, everything was communicated clearly.

Lin Tianchen on the side will mark it on the map.

The lights flickered, and in the cave, more than a dozen figures sat around a simple wooden table, staring at the brand new map, which gradually began to be improved with each stroke.

Zhang Sencheng honestly hadn't seen such a large map in ages. As Lin Tianchen drew strokes, he subconsciously glanced around.

On both sides of Lin Tianchen, Wang Jiantang, Li Weiguo, Gao Jiecheng and Chu Yunfei were holding a small notebook in their hands, and from time to time they recorded some punctuation marks on the map in their notebooks.

"Seventh Uncle, can you contact some people from the Anti-Japanese United Army?" After making some marks, Lin Tianchen turned around and looked at Zhang Sencheng.

"can!"
