North of Jincheng and south of Chaocheng.

There is a buffer zone of 100 kilometers in the middle, and the terrain is very complex, with plains, hills and mountains all visible.

In the mountains, figures were moving quickly through the forests with agile movements. The soldiers looked calm, as they were already accustomed to such rapid marches.

The sounds of the things they carried and their footsteps became beautiful notes in the forest.

"The latest telegram from the Brigade Commander, the Fourth Regiment: After secretly occupying Bata Mountain, they encountered the first batch of Imperial Army troops and a small mechanized force in the southeast, and have been repelled."

"The Fourth Regiment is now surrounded by a Japanese brigade that came from Fu-Xin to provide support." Fang Bailu came to report as soon as he received the communication telegram.

Lin Tianchen, who was originally walking quickly, stopped instantly after hearing the news.

Xiaoshanzi on the side skillfully took out a map and quickly spread it out in his hands.

"Surrounded..."

Lin Tianchen murmured, looking at the location of Bata Mountain. The location where this imperial army appeared was somewhat unexpected to him.

It is very likely that the Fourth Regiment's position was exposed in advance by this Imperial Auxiliary Army, but he was not worried that the Fourth Regiment would not be able to hold on, after all, it was only a brigade.

However, according to Dark Tiger's intelligence, there is a mechanized force coming from the Fu-Xin direction. If they really want to encircle them, one brigade is obviously not enough, and it is very likely that the mechanized force has already appeared in the surroundings.

The teams coming from the east usually bring a lot of imperial troops.

The more he thought about it, the more Lin Tianchen frowned.

"Pingtuoshan is slowly entering the defensive rhythm of the Third Regiment. As long as the Fourth Regiment and we progress smoothly, there will be no problem on their side. Now it's the Fourth Regiment..."

Lin Tianchen looked at the location of Bata Mountain on the map. He knew that the position of the Fourth Regiment was now exposed in advance, which meant that the entire pace would be accelerated again.

There is a Japanese brigade, a mechanized force, and even more than 10,000 Imperial Army troops. If the Fourth Regiment is lost, it will indirectly lead to the Japanese providing support to Jincheng, and the pressure on the Third Regiment will also increase dramatically.

"All troops, stop!"

Lin Tianchen spoke quickly, and Xiao Shanzi immediately gestured to the troops. At once, the soldiers of the first and second regiments stopped like dominoes and began to look for hidden places around to hide.

The team stopped, and Wang Jiantang, Li Weiguo and others quickly moved towards Lin Tianchen's position.

"brigadier."

"brigadier..."

Seeing everyone coming, Lin Tianchen directly spread the map on the ground with a serious expression.

"Change of plans."

Lin Tianchen spoke seriously, the battlefield changed rapidly.

As the words fell, everyone looked at the map and their expressions instantly became serious.

Everyone present knew that after helping the Third Regiment clear out a group of heavy firepower from the Japanese mechanized forces at Pingtuo Mountain, their two regiments continued to move north.

The Japanese troops who were preparing to ambush were coming towards the city, but now they suddenly stopped, which means that the situation has changed.

"Wang Jiantang, you will personally lead a regiment to Bata Mountain. Once you arrive, maneuver! Don't engage head-on."

"Attack the enemy's rear, and form a pincer attack with the Fourth Regiment. If they attack Bata Mountain, you will attack. If they don't, you will delay them."

Lin Tianchen took out a map from Xiaoshanzi's bag, which marked the terrain around Bata Mountain, the surrounding mountain roads, and the best route to Bata Mountain.

Although this place is about ten kilometers away from Ba Ta Mountain, after learning the news, he immediately used a visual map to explore the situation of Ba Ta Mountain.

Everyone is safe on the way to support. If the real fighting breaks out, it will depend on Wang Jiantang himself.

"Yes." Wang Jiantang immediately nodded vigorously.

They quickly mobilized the troops, changed direction, and headed towards Bata Mountain for support.

"The Japanese now have two mechanized units. One is at Pingtuo Mountain, and if the other unit goes from Fuxin to Jincheng, it will definitely appear at Bata Mountain."

"At the same time, enemy reinforcements are still pouring in. We must defeat the Japs heading towards the city."

Lin Tianchen pointed at Chengde and pointed to the location of Chaocheng along the way.

Lin Tianchen has his own judgment on whether to send troops from the base. If the commander has not changed, troops will definitely be sent, it’s just a matter of time.

After all, it is very difficult to convey the news from here to the base in Jin.

The battle of Jincheng is no longer limited to Jincheng. Not to mention the coordination of various war zones, it is at least the coordination of the Jin-Cha-Yi region.

It is crucial to open up this important route in advance.

Besides, the team is getting bigger and bigger, and it is not so realistic to maneuver and penetrate as quickly as before. It is like having a visual map, but it is impossible to go through all the places where humans and machines are rarely seen. Otherwise, the steepness of the terrain, the time it takes to open the road, and the temporary losses of the insects, birds and animals in the forest valley will be very alarming.

When the number of people in the team increases, it is far less likely for them to pass through an easily exposed point quickly than with two thousand people, thus reducing the possibility of exposure.

But with more than 10,000 people, it is obviously impossible to intersperse them as before.

"Brigade Commander, we must also be on guard against Tianjin." Li Weiguo pointed in the direction of Tianjin on the map and spoke seriously.

From a battalion commander to the current regimental commander, Li Weiguo has been trying hard to learn how to read and analyze maps like Lin Tianchen, and sometimes he would ask Gao Jiecheng if he didn't understand something.

In this rapidly expanding army that has been experiencing high-intensity warfare for many years, growth is crucial.

Otherwise, he would not be able to stay in the command position if he had to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers.

"Tell me about it." Lin Tianchen pondered for a moment and spoke.

"If we raid Chaocheng, we can not only annihilate the Japanese troops heading to Jincheng for support, reducing the pressure on the Third Regiment, but also allow follow-up troops to reach Jincheng for support more quickly."

"The most important thing is that if we attack the Japanese, they will definitely react. Then the Japanese brigade coming to support from Tianjin will definitely go to Chaocheng first to support us, and we can then fight against this supporting Japanese brigade."

"Raid, clear the way, ambush, as long as Pingtuo Mountain is blocked, we will definitely find a way to destroy the arrogance of the Japanese devils."

Li Weiguo said this in a serious tone. As soon as these words came out, the people standing there understood a lot instantly.

"The plan has changed. Now that we have pulled out Chaocheng, what we need to do is to defeat Chaocheng and then turn to deal with the Japanese brigade that came to support us."

"We only have two days at most, otherwise the losses of the Third Regiment will increase greatly."

Lin Tianchen's tone was extremely serious. In fact, he had also captured the Japanese soldiers surrounding Ba Ta Mountain. It was very likely that they had joined forces with the main force in Chaocheng. This meant that Chaocheng was empty. If they could break into Chaocheng, they could clear out the weapons and equipment inside.

For them, it is undoubtedly of great benefit.

However, with this change, the tasks between the regiments became heavier. The Third Regiment had to face the front of the Japanese. Although it had the advantage of terrain and cleared some of the heavy firepower on the front of the Japanese, after the subsequent integration of the Japanese, it was still a quagmire-like battle.

The First and Fourth Regiments, with Ba Ta Shan as their core, were under considerable pressure as they faced a large force heading towards the city.

"Increase the marching speed and rush to Chaocheng as quickly as possible." Lin Tianchen made a decision, quickly signaled Xiaoshanzi to put away the map, and spoke quickly and firmly.

"Yes!"
