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

The warm sun rises, illuminating the earth.

The hazy night fades away and a bright light comes in.

The leaves of the dense forest were mixed with morning dew, and every step the group took on the long mountain road was covered with dew.

Until they reached the entrance of Lijia Village, the group returned here again.

Some people were wearing Sichuan Army uniforms, some were wearing Shanxi Suiyuan Army uniforms, and some were wearing villagers' clothes. Led by Lin Tianchen, they entered the village one after another.

"Everyone, rest on the spot and count the casualties and supplies."

Wang Jiantang placed the Type 99 light machine gun he had been holding under the banyan tree, tightened the sword behind him, and spoke to the team returning to the village.

As soon as these words were spoken, a team of nearly a hundred people began to arrive in the village one after another, finding a place to sit down.

Some are under the banyan trees, and some are next to the earthen walls.

Next to an earthen wall at the entrance of the village, Xiao Hai put the Type 38 rifle on his shoulder aside and leaned next to Li Weiguo.

"Commander, this battle was truly exciting."

"The equipment those devils had was something I had never seen on the battlefield before. Submachine guns, each of them had at least six magazines full of bullets, and six sweet potato mines. They were really rich."

Xiao Hai said in a low voice, recalling that when he was cleaning the battlefield, Xiao Hai had never seen the Japanese dressed like this.

Even in the reinforced platoon of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, each person had only thirty rounds of bullets and four grenades.

They were only equipped with rifles, but the Japs they defeated in the battle at night were beyond Xiao Hai's understanding.

"How many Japanese soldiers were there yesterday?" Li Weiguo said with a serious look, his gaze fixed on the soldiers sitting under the banyan tree and beside the earthen wall.

Faced with this sudden remark, Xiao Hai thought for a moment and said, "About sixty."

"If it were the 376th Regiment, what do you think our chances of winning would be if we fought against them?" Li Weiguo said in a very serious tone.

As soon as Li Weiguo finished speaking, Xiao Hai's face, which had been a little excited just now, suddenly became serious.

"Back in the Battle of Tiger's Mouth, our two battalions fought against a single Japanese squadron. We had the advantage in numbers, and the Japanese on the other side weren't as well-trained and sophisticated as they are today..."

Xiao Hai hesitated to speak, as he didn't want to mention those unbearable memories.

Although it was a battalion fighting against a Japanese squadron, and it was a positional battle with a dominant position, the Japanese still broke through and destroyed their position.

Their three battalions had more than 300 people, but they were fighting against a Japanese squadron of less than 200 people and were severely suppressed.

Of course, the inaction of the neighboring battalion was the fundamental reason for the defeat, but the combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils pierced his heart.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hai clenched his fists again. There were more than 300 people, and only they were left.

"We didn't have that many more troops, and our equipment was outdated, yet we still managed to force sixty elite Japanese soldiers to flee in panic."

"It was still a head-on battle. They used their command ability to close the gap between the two sides, or even far surpass it. You have to know that we didn't suffer many casualties this time. The battle losses should not exceed 10%."

Li Weiguo leaned against the wall and looked up at the sky.

From the ambush at the beginning, to pulling back the Japanese, and finally attacking them from three sides, we did not pursue them too deeply, but only forced them to retreat.

Then set up an ambush in advance to minimize their own casualties while maximizing the casualties of the Japanese.

At this moment, Li Weiguo completely believed everything they had heard before.

When Xiao Hai heard this, his excitement gradually faded and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Battalion Commander, has he been fighting since he was in his mother's womb?" Xiao Hai said in a low voice.

However, Li Weiguo did not respond, but his eyes fell on the banyan tree. Wang Jiantang's voice came from under the banyan tree. Some soldiers who had participated in the battle consciously approached and gathered under the banyan tree.

In front of him were all the Japanese equipment seized last night.

Lin Tianchen said nothing and took out a thick notebook from his arms.

Seeing this, Wang Jiantang saluted and stepped forward.

"Report to the company commander, nine people were killed."

"Li Shanfu, from Lijia Village, is twenty years old. He has a mother and an only son..."

"Li Gui, from Lijia Village, is seventeen years old and the third child in the family. His parents are still alive..."

"Xiao Shenghua, from Huanglong Township, Sichuan. My family situation is unknown. I just want to earn enough money to return to the village and marry a wife..."

"..."

Wang Jiantang spoke slowly, but he emphasized every word, every name he read out, every sentence he spoke.

Lin Tianchen wrote a few lines in the notebook.

The appearance of this scene made many newly joined soldiers somewhat confused and bewildered, but they knew what they were doing.

Seeing this from a distance, Li Weiguo quickly stood up and also unconsciously moved over.

Wang Jiantang's voice rose and fell, accompanied by the sound of the wind.

The wind blows and the leaves move slightly.

The wind blows, gently caressing the faces of everyone standing under the banyan tree.

The sun shines on these tender and lovely faces, as if leaving no trace.

Lin Tianchen wrote down the names one by one and closed the notebook in his hand.

"This is not a list of our deaths, but our future history, our past, and our present."

“Perhaps people in the future will see us as just a piece of history, just a fleeting page, but we know that this is the life of many people…”

"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains. We are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is our destiny."

"But I hope that if you have the opportunity to command a side, you will try your best to reduce the casualties of the soldiers and achieve victory, rather than paying with your own lives."

Lin Tianchen's tone was quite serious. The history he had learned, now when you really appeared in front of him, was constantly impacting his mind.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole atmosphere became solemn.

As the words fell, the warm sun shone overhead.

The haziness of the early morning fades away and the scorching sun of noon arrives.

"Find a place to bury them and erect a monument there. When the mission is complete, I will show them this beautiful land."

Lin Tianchen instructed Wang Jiantang in a low voice.

The sound echoed, and everyone began to move quickly. Li Weiguo had a complicated look in his eyes, staring blankly at the soldiers busy digging a hole in front of him. After thinking for a while, he moved closer and joined in the digging.
