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

Jincheng is three kilometers north of Pingtuo Mountain.

A team of tens of thousands of people quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests.

The destination was just ahead, and the entire team quickened their pace. After leaving the Tianmen Mountains, the closer they got to the Pingtuo Mountains, the weaker the Japanese resistance became.

Li Yunlong naturally felt it very clearly. After crossing a hill, the Pingtuo Mountain Range was already visible in the distance.

However, the closer they got to Pingtuo Mountain, the more smoke that had not yet dissipated in the air and the craters left by missed artillery fire began to appear.

Standing on a hilltop, Li Yunlong and the other two all stood. The black scorched earth was exposed by the artillery fire, and the outline of the position was faintly visible in the smoke. The originally steep hillside was now covered with circular craters, and half of the helmet was embedded in the charred tree trunk.

Not to mention the smoke of gunpowder that filled the air, and in the dry autumn weather, there were still some flames burning, and the exposed rock formations of Pingtuo Mountain were an eerie bluish-gray color.

The loose soil at the edge of the crater suddenly collapsed, revealing half of the communication trench.

"The Japs seem to be retreating." Kong Jie took a closer look and saw that the Japs on Pingtuo Mountain in the distance were retreating in an orderly manner. There were scattered bombers in the air providing cover.

Once upon a time, the bombers that they feared the most have now become the Japanese's reliance for retreat.

The bloody remains of flesh and blood on the mountainside, and the layers of mud and blood, all proved what a bloody battle had taken place here.

Jincheng is located in the southeast corner of Pingtuo Mountain. Ding Wei, holding a telescope, looked at Jincheng in the distance. The Japanese soldiers retreated into the city one by one and kept strengthening the defensive fortifications outside the city.

"I guess Lin Lu has popped up somewhere again." Ding Wei looked at the anxiety in front of him and felt heavy in his heart.

But as a commander, he knew very well how powerful it was to be able to suppress a military fortress with just a few thousand people.

Even though they had just arrived, the intelligence had never been interrupted. The Japanese had nearly 100,000 troops around Jincheng, but they began to change their strategy because they were tied down by the more than 10,000 troops of the Tiger Brigade.

Ding Wei could not imagine that they would confront each other outside a military fortress like Jincheng.

"Lin Dare won't give these beasts a chance to confront each other. How can he let the little devils fight whenever they want and stop whenever they want?"

Li Yunlong raised the gun in his hand. On the way north, he was disgusted by the Japanese and the traitors. If it were not for the ace troops of the Tiger Guard Brigade, it would not be easy for them to break through the blockade so quickly.

What's more, the scene of Pingtuo Mountain in front of him made Li Yunlong feel a little heavy in his heart.

"Let's meet up with Tietuan first and follow Brigade Lin's arrangements." Kong Jie said after thinking for a while.

After these words came out, Li Yunlong obviously had some words on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them deeply.

After all, facing Lin Tianchen who suddenly came to the fore, Li Yunlong really didn't want to be under Lin Tianchen, but if he didn't listen to Lin Tianchen, he would violate the orders of the headquarters. If he violated the orders of the headquarters, he would not be promoted.

Since he couldn't get promoted, he would always be below Lin Tianchen.

Li Yunlong thought about it and scratched his head in distress.

"Let's go and meet up with Tietuan first." Li Yunlong thought for a while and said with a sigh.

He had never witnessed the bloody and brutal battlefield at Zhenhun Pass. When he went there, it was already in the final stage. Only when he saw Pingtuo Mountain in front of him did he truly understand how brutal the battle was at Zhenhun Pass.

With flags flying, a small group of soldiers appeared on Pingtuo Mountain. After approaching for reconnaissance, they immediately raised flags to signal to the rear.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong paused for a moment, and when he saw a soldier walking towards them, he came out of the trench.

"Captain Kong, how could you..." The soldier had obviously seen Kong Jie and found Kong Jie as soon as possible.

"Come and support me, you are lucky..." Kong Jie looked at the soldier he had chatted with in Heiyun Village. He still had some impression of him. However, there was a wound on his face, and the bleeding had obviously just stopped. It was obvious that the bullet had grazed his cheek.

"You are indeed lucky. If you were a little more off, I might not be able to see you. Don't stay here, it's very dangerous. I will take you to see the commander." The soldier was obviously a healthy person. He smiled, but after smiling, he took a breath, obviously because the wound on his face was pulled.

After some greetings, the soldier took Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and others and headed towards Pingtuo Mountain.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie looked around from time to time. What they saw through the telescope from a distance was completely different from what they saw when they got closer.

When you set foot on this land, you can smell the burning smell in your nose, see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the scorched earth is paved with blood and mud.

But when they reached the halfway point, Li Yunlong, who admitted to having fought in battles for most of his life, still swallowed unconsciously. It was like hell on earth.

"Iron Group...well-deserved." Li Yunlong sighed.

They took very light steps, for fear of waking up the sleeping soldiers.

The name of the Iron Regiment is well-deserved. Compared with the sacrificed soldiers, more deaths were caused by the Japanese devils. Just think about how fierce the Japanese devils' attack was when they were so close to Jincheng.

But they still managed to control the battle situation halfway up the mountain. It can only be said that the Iron Regiment is a well-deserved ace unit in positional warfare.

"The Iron Regiment's positional warfare... is what we can learn the most." Kong Jie nodded in agreement. Compared to Lin Tianchen's elusive command, he had asked for advice and benefited a lot, but that didn't mean he could use it.

However, the Iron Group's positional warfare in front of us can really be used for reference and learning.

Ding Wei also nodded in agreement. The imaginative command and the rock-solid defense, the latter is obviously more meaningful for reference and learning.

Just at this moment, a long dragon suddenly appeared in the distance, and the soldiers of the Iron Group immediately looked up into the distance.

"The brigade commander is back."

"It's the brigade commander and his men. They're back! Quickly report to the regimental commander."

The soldiers of the Iron Regiment suppressed the excitement in their tone, and their faces were tired. Some of them showed the grief of losing their comrades, while others showed a slight relief at returning.

Li Yunlong followed his gaze and saw a figure looming on the distant ridge.

Looking at the team appearing in the distance, it was obviously a large force of the Tiger Brigade.

"Lin Dadan's team has about 16,000 or 17,000 people, right?" Li Yunlong has been in the army for most of his life, and he knows the approximate number of people just by looking through the telescope.

According to the troops brought here now, if Chen's troops can arrive earlier, the 771st, 772nd, and 714th regiments will have a total size of nearly 10,000 people.

"I think so. After all, the Battle of Guiyang Mountain strengthened the backbone of the Huben Brigade. I'm afraid many of the soldiers here have joined the Huben Brigade." Ding Wei echoed, his tone a little surprised.

After all, from a military perspective, without replenishment, the troops will only become fewer and fewer. However, the Tiger Brigade's troops have been replenishing, but no one else can learn this method of replenishment.

After all, the Tiger Guards Brigade has always been on the high-pressure front line and has not suffered much casualties. He also feels that the number of people in the Tiger Guards Brigade will increase with each battle.

From a few dozen people to more than 20,000 today, this is something Ding Wei never dared to imagine. You have to know that the Tiger Guard Brigade has been maintaining high-intensity combat throughout the whole process.

"Damn it, it's not enough for him to strengthen the brigade... he has to go for the division level..." Li Yunlong felt a huge pressure on his shoulders after just one look.

With more than 20,000 troops, this is no longer just a reinforced brigade, it can be rated as a division level.

"You want to be on equal footing with him. I advise you to give up this thought." Ding Wei shook his head and spoke soothingly.

But as soon as he said this, Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and did not respond.

He just watched the large army silently. As they got closer, the footsteps became more frequent and the sound of iron clashing spread throughout Pingtuo Mountain.

Lin Tianchen looked at Pingtuo Mountain with a heavy expression, and Gao Jiecheng's figure appeared in his eyes.

"How many people were sacrificed?" Lin Tianchen's voice was a little hoarse.

“Eight hundred…”

Gao Jiecheng spoke in a heavy tone. These were all soldiers they had personally trained. In this battle at Pingtuo Mountain, the number of casualties was three times that of the battle at Zhenhun Pass.

The enemies they faced this time were far beyond the Soul-Suppressing Pass, and the terrain was not that steep.

"Has the list been written down?"

"I've recorded it." Gao Jiecheng nodded.

Lin Tianchen's expression paused slightly and he sighed softly. He could actually accept such casualties and it was even within his expectations.

But separation from life and death is really a compulsory course that is difficult to learn in a lifetime.

"Fire three gunshots to tell our brothers we are back." Lin Tianchen turned and said to Xiao Shanzi and Fang Bailu.

A moment later, on the mountainside, in the depression, on the ridge... on the scorched earth of Pingtuo Mountain, figures stood in rows, and fierce gunfire rang out on Pingtuo Mountain to comfort the heroic souls on the mountain.

At this time, Lin Tianchen looked at several figures appearing behind Gao Jiecheng, staring at each other.

In this land that has been controlled by the Japanese for more than ten years, the number of people in the Pingtuo Mountains is increasing, and is even approaching 30,000.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way." Lin Tianchen looked at the dusty Li Yunlong.

"You just keep saying it. I came all the way here, and you don't give me a hug." Li Yunlong's carefree voice broke the dull atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchen immediately stretched out his hands.

"Damn, this is more like it..." Li Yunlong carelessly hugged the gentle Lin Tianchen and patted him hard.

Lin Tianchen's grip was not very light either, and instantly made Li Yunlong's face turn red.

"Let's not do this." Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and then at Lin Tianchen.

"Just a token of my appreciation."

Lin Tianchen also stretched out his hand and hugged Kong Jie and Ding Wei, but the hug with Kong Jie and Ding Wei was much more gentle.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but look around with some curiosity, and even stretched his head to look behind him.

Wang Jiantang from the First Regiment, Li Weiguo from the Second Regiment, Chu Yunfei from the Fourth Regiment and others appeared around Lin Tianchen, but only Li Yunlong did not see the young man who looked very much like Lin Tianchen, the young man who led them to break through.

"You're really good at hiding this skill. If you hadn't come to the three northeastern provinces, I don't know how long you would have hidden it." Li Yunlong couldn't control his envy in his tone. It would be fine if Lin Tianchen was not replicable, but that young man had obviously got some of Lin Tianchen's essence.

This made him feel a desire for talent, but he also knew that it was really unrealistic to poach people from Lin Tianchen, or it might be the other way around.

"What did I hide?" Lin Tianchen asked with a puzzled tone.

"Still pretending...Where's Sun Desheng?"

Li Yunlong snorted softly. Seeing the artillery formation and the familiar figures, he was extremely envious.

But there was no sign of Sun Desheng.

"He was in Jin before, but he should be here soon." Lin Tianchen thought for a while and said.
