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

Pingtuo Mountain.

The sky was clear, and the rising sun was separated from the mountains.

The bright red in the east has gradually faded, as if it had never appeared. Only those who have witnessed it know that the eastern sky was once bright red.

With the arrival of dawn, many soldiers on the entire battlefield began to get busy.

Some soldiers got up early to build fortifications, while some soldiers began to adjust their sentry posts after the scouts finished their reconnaissance. There were still many remnants on the battlefield, and many soldiers were packing up some usable guns and ammunition.

In front of the command room, in a very enclosed space built for safety and concealment, Lin Tianchen stood on the land of Pingtuo Mountain, greeting the rising sun, looking at Pingtuo Mountain in front of him, and gazing at Jincheng from afar.

"The Japanese airport's throughput capacity should not be enough, but it will probably be bombed in the next period of time." Lin Tianchen looked at the sky. The sky was very clear at this time.

While confronting the Japanese at Pingtuo Mountain, Lin Tianchen was not in a hurry to move. After all, even with a visual map, the casualties in street fighting were indeed greater than those in the wild.

"The positions are ready and the trenches are dug very deep. Unless the Japanese carry out carpet bombing, it won't be a big problem if we just defend Pingtuo Mountain." Gao Jiecheng followed Lin Tianchen's gaze, took a look, and spoke in a deep voice.

The Iron Corps suffered losses in the Battle of Pingtuo Mountain, but it did not affect its combat effectiveness too much. In fact, under the guidance of the Iron Corps, every unit stationed near Pingtuo Mountain built trenches.

What they are defending may not be the Japanese frontal battlefield, but mainly the aerial bombing. If there is an aerial bombing, they can only passively take the beating, and such casualties must be avoided if possible.

"Okay, let's build the position first. I will try to see if I can knock down the airport first, and then consider attacking Jincheng." Lin Tianchen nodded and said affirmatively.

After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, as if he had thought of something, and turned to look at Xu Lan:

"What was the situation in Pudong like when you left?" Lin Tianchen asked curiously.

"Ever since the Tiger Guards Brigade won the Northern Expedition, the Japanese have been conducting a major inspection every three days and a minor inspection every day. They have set up checkpoints and the arrangements are very strict. It is difficult for each area to communicate with each other." Xu Lan introduced the situation in Pudong when she left.

After finishing speaking, he paused slightly and spoke again:

"Lin Lu, the line we were managing was destroyed, but before I left, I handed it over to a man named Wen Ren, Xiao Xuewen's junior. Boss Xu still has some lines left in Pudong. Give me some time, and I can find a way to connect with Wen Ren."

Xu Lan spoke in a firm tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, both Lin Tianchen and Wang Jiantang's eyes fell on Xu Lan.

If the medicine and supplies from Pudong can reach them smoothly, they won't have to worry about medicines anymore.

"If you can get in touch with her, that would be great. If you can't, don't force it." Lin Tianchen thought about it and didn't put too much pressure on Xu Lan. After he finished speaking, he paused slightly and spoke again:

"Even though our team has expanded, there are still very few people who can read. For some external propaganda, we only use plain text telegrams. Just like now, we haven't spoken publicly for a long time since we arrived in the Northeast. If you are willing, please help us control the external propaganda of the Tiger Guard Brigade."

The meaning in Lin Tianchen's tone was very clear. After all, the Tiger Brigade was getting bigger and bigger, and the things they were considering meant that some of them had left the battlefield, and they really needed a propaganda department in the team.

Otherwise, as the team expands, without a publicity department, it will be bad both internally and externally.

And now the Japanese think that he has had his hands and limbs amputated, so he feels that he can make good use of this information gap.

"No problem." Xu Lan nodded.

Han Chunxue's expression changed at the side. The familiar work of writing was not unfamiliar to her.

After getting Xu Lan's response, Lin Tianchen turned to look at Fang Bailu.

"Fang Bailu, please take Miss Xu to learn more about this for the next period of time."

"Yes."

Fang Bailu nodded.

Xu Lan didn't choose to speak, and even made way for several figures appearing in the distance. These figures were quite familiar to her.

"Reporter Xu?" Li Yunlong widened his eyes and looked at Xu Lan's face, his gaze slightly stunned.

Li Yunlong had a deep affection for Xu Lan at the beginning. After all, Xu Lan chose to return to Pudong as soon as she worked as a communicator.

But now when they met again, looking at Lin Tianchen and then at Xu Lan, combined with the previous many times of transporting medicines from Pudong to Heiyun Village, Li Yunlong suddenly understood a lot.

Damn Captain Lin...

Li Yunlong cursed in his heart. Those were medicines, which were as valuable as gold during the war. How could he feel balanced?

He obviously encountered it first.

"Captain Li, Captain Kong, you guys chat." Xu Lan paused slightly, said hello, and left with Han Chunxue with a smile.

After all, they now have a new identity and there are still many things they need to familiarize themselves with.

"Okay." Kong Jie and Xu Lan were not strangers to each other. After all, there had been a big misunderstanding between them before.

After saying hello, he watched Xu Lan leave.

Lin Tianchen looked at the three people who appeared and asked curiously:

"What happened?"

These three people were obviously in a hurry to find him, and they had obviously received some news. In terms of the source of information, the other party's sources of information were more and wider than his.

"It may take some time for Chen's troops to reach Jincheng. They were heading south from the north and encountered a Japanese blockade in Fuxin. They are now trying to shake off this group of Japanese. There is also the 33rd Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which is taking the same route as Chen's troops, but they are going farther and closer to the east of Chifeng City. They have to take a detour to the south, but they are moving much slower." Kong Jie said quickly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchen immediately turned around and returned to the command room.

"Who is the commander of the 33rd Division? Has he been changed?" Lin Tianchen asked curiously. He walked into the command room, looked at the map hanging high, and his gaze gradually fell on the area of ​​Fucheng and Chifeng.

"He hasn't changed. He's still the same person as before, Yi Zhihua." Kong Jie introduced the situation.

Lin Tianchen nodded in understanding and instantly understood what Kong Jie said.

He had a bad impression of this commander, who was so slow to march in the original city.

This made his gaze unconsciously fall on Fucheng, and Lin Tianchen frowned.

"It seems the Japs intend to completely blockade us."

After looking for a while, Lin Tianchen combined the arrangements of some strongholds in Jincheng and established a large encirclement in the Chifeng and Fucheng areas.

Going north from the coastal areas, there are many places where small Japanese strongholds have been built. These strongholds are located around Chengde, in the north, and around Fuxin and other places.

After hearing this, Ding Wei on the side nodded in agreement.

"Brigade Lin, the latest news from the base is that the Japanese have reached a stalemate in the mountain city. The Japanese have accelerated their progress in the coastal areas and are making unstoppable progress in Southeast Asia. John seems to be unable to stop them. Also, the Japanese have formed an alliance with Hans Tiger, but the Japanese have not responded in the north. From the perspective of the various war zones, the Japanese navy seems to be very anxious, but the Japanese army is gradually stabilizing, especially the Kwantung Army. They seem to want to attack us first."

While Ding Wei was analyzing the situation, he also told Lin Tianchen some information.

The Northern Expedition of the Tiger Brigade was indeed inspiring, but the overall situation was not optimistic. In the southeast and southwest directions, the Japanese were frantically cutting off the transportation lines.

The Kwantung Army also wanted to seize the initiative and was not in a hurry to fight the Soviet Union.

Lin Tianchen listened silently, pondering the current situation, and occasionally placed some signs on the sand table.

Li Yunlong on the side watched silently for a while, and couldn't help but said:.

"Lin Dadan, in the area north of central and east China and south of north China, Yan Laoxi not only sent troops to the northeast, but also cut off some transportation channels in Baozhou. Baozhou is now hanging on by a thread. The Japanese have transferred a brigade from Jingmen. This battle will not be easy for us to fight." Li Yunlong actually understood the strategic intentions, but in terms of the overall strategic situation, there was indeed a gap between him and Ding Wei.

But judging from the intensity of the battle, Li Yunlong knew very well that Jincheng was not easy to deal with.

It was a case of moving the whole body with a single move. As long as Jincheng was touched, the encirclement would be quickly compressed. The Japanese had obviously prepared for street fighting, using street fighting to delay the Tiger Brigade and then achieve a large-scale encirclement.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire command room fell silent again. Gao Jiecheng was reorganizing the troops and directing the digging of trenches, while Chu Yunfei was actively arranging anti-bombing trenches because of the large number of people in the regiment.

Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo in the command room listened silently, their brows unconsciously frowned. They had fought so many battles and had always followed Lin Tianchen, so they had more or less their own judgment of the overall situation.

Both of them knew very well that the battle in Jincheng would be very difficult.

Above family and country, interests are the basis for maintaining the relationship between the two, and strength is the foundation for their equality.

The Russians entered the inland and formed a standoff with the Japanese in the north. It would not be a good thing for any army to enter their area.

"We have to fight even if it's difficult. It's difficult for us to fight, but it's even more difficult for the Kwantung Army..." Lin Tianchen shook his head and said decisively:

"The Kwantung Army may seem to be putting pressure on us, but their fundamental goal is to restore Northeast China to its previous state so that they can radiate throughout the country."

"The more chaotic the fighting here, the less energy the Japanese will have to radiate to other war zones. If this line is cut, the resistance forces in the base area and the mountain city will not only have a chance to breathe, but can also recapture them. If the Kwantung Army's control is weakened, we will have to advance north again."

Lin Tianchen's purpose for Jincheng was very clear. This geographical location was extremely important, and it did not change because of Li Yunlong's words.

He wanted to use Jincheng as a point to completely cut off the connection between the north and the south and change the situation in the whole country. Moreover, after this battle, the Kwantung Army's control over the Northeast would further decline, and the Tiger Brigade would be able to advance northward.

"We still have to consider in advance that the Kwantung Army will concentrate its forces to deal with us..." Although Ding Wei said that the possibility was not high, he still had some concerns in this regard.

After all, anything can happen on the battlefield when things get tense.

Ding Wei said worriedly, pointing to the northern border. With tens of thousands of them, there was no possibility of winning.

"If the Japs dare to move, it means they are not far from a complete collapse and will not be able to pull us into the mountains." Lin Tianchen said in a firm tone, his eyes fixed on Jincheng.

Then, he spoke in an unquestionable tone:

"From today on, your troops will be incorporated into the Tiger Brigade's command structure. From today on, you will enter a wartime state and will be assigned your positions when you meet them."

"Yes!"

"....yes."
