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

In early autumn in Shanxi, the sky is clear.

Original city.

It was still a bit hot during the day, but the breeze made people feel very comfortable.

The city, once baptized by war, now seems to have been reborn.

The bloodstains on the streets had long disappeared, and the bullets embedded in some storefronts had also been removed.

Ox carts of all sizes carrying wood and stone were traveling on the streets.

During the construction of the original city, Yan Laoxi used the method he was good at, which was to provide work in lieu of relief.

However, at present, he is not the one who calls the shots in Yuancheng. Instead, many parties gather in Yuancheng, but they have a common goal and gradually have more contacts.

In a courtyard in Yuancheng, the autumn air was slightly chilly. Sitting in the lobby, Yan Laoxi rubbed his nose and stared at the large map in front of him.

"The logistics of these damn Japs are tight." Yan Laoxi cursed and looked at the telegram sent by Zhao Songshan in his hand, his eyes flashed slightly.

Suddenly, Yan Laoxi seemed to think of something and looked at Zhao Songshan who was standing beside him.

"How's the Arsenal?"

Zhao Songshan heard this and moved slightly. He responded seriously, "The third batch of artillery shells was mass-produced yesterday. They are all the types required by the Lin Brigade, and most of them are heavy artillery."

"The logistics line has been connected with the Tiger Brigade's logistics line."

Zhao Songshan knew what Yan Laoxi wanted to ask next, so he told him what he knew.

At this time, a soldier walked quickly into the lobby with a document in his hand.

"Report, there is information to be shared about the Tiger Brigade."

As soon as the soldier said this, Yan Laoxi could no longer sit still and stood up.

Yan Laoxi took the information from the soldier immediately without covering it up. Zhao Songshan, who was standing next to him, came over curiously, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Attack Jincheng and break into it?" Zhao Songshan must know more than ordinary people.

Jincheng was a military fortress, but now the Tiger and Leopard Brigade had actually broken into it. Just these few words made him seem to see the cruelty of this battle.

After all, if you put yourself in his shoes, if he were a Japanese soldier, would he ignore Jincheng?

The answer is no. Not only will they not ignore it, but they will increase the troops. This means that in the battle of Jincheng, the Huben Brigade attacked the city with several times the number of troops of the Japanese, and they still managed to break into Jincheng. How could this not boost their morale?

"We started our army from the Central Plains, established our backbone in the first battle of the Northern Expedition, and locked down the vital points of the north and south. This was despite the enemy having several times more troops than us." Yan Laoxi muttered in a low voice, and suddenly, his expression became excited.

"Good! Good fight."

Excited words express the heart.

Although Zhao Songshan was also very excited, as the main military advisor, he considered more, thinking about the Pudong Battle.

"During the Pudong Campaign, 700,000 troops fought against 300,000 Japanese troops, yet they were defeated. Now that Jincheng has been captured and street fighting is underway, it's impossible for the Tiger Guards Brigade to be without casualties. In a place without logistical supplies, manpower is also a big problem..."

Zhao Songshan was a little worried. If they wanted to fight, the total number of people in the Tiger Brigade and the base would be no more than 30,000. But even if the Japanese Kwantung Army could not be easily mobilized now, there would be no pressure for the Japanese to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops around Jincheng.

It is already amazing that less than 30,000 soldiers are trying to take on more than 100,000 people, but now the Tiger Brigade is taking the initiative to attack.

It can be imagined that Jincheng will be the next meat grinder after the Pudong Battle.

By then, the underground ditches will be flowing with blood.

"If Lin Tianchen dares to fight, there's nothing we won't do. Let's make a newspaper about this guy and send it nationwide."

Yan Laoxi understood what Zhao Songshan was worried about, but at this point, the sword had already been unsheathed, so there was naturally no reason to take it back.

"Now the offensive and defensive positions have changed. Since the Tiger Brigade has chosen to advance alone, we absolutely cannot let our own people go through alone. Then the 35th Division will go north and take the ammunition produced by the arsenal."

Yan Laoxi's tone was very firm. After parting at Songjun Mountain, he thought a lot. He thought that defending a small piece of land and ignoring the lives of the people was no different from the previous dynasty.

If we want to prevent Shanxi from becoming the next three northeastern provinces, we must fight.

"Yes." Zhao Songshan nodded vigorously.

As Zhao Songshan left, Yan Laoxi exhaled lightly and sat down slowly.

Gusts of wind sounded outside the yard, and the sky gradually darkened. Feeling the change in temperature, his expression became much more solemn.

The sky was clear, but it started to rain.

Old Yan listened to the sound of small pearls falling on a jade plate and watched the raindrops falling outside the window, feeling a little dazed.

.......

...

Niangzi Pass.

The various tribes in Jin advanced northward, and the base branch also moved here from Ping'an County.

Song Yi coordinated the various troops going out of the border. Although Baozhou was now under control, the position was still not very stable, and their current strategic goal was in the Northern Territory.

In the command room, Song Yi stood there, his eyes fixed on the location of Jincheng on the map.

"What's the situation now?" Song Yi asked the young man wearing glasses next to him.

Wei Zhili, who had just arrived at the headquarters, sorted through the telegrams in his hands and responded seriously, "The news has already been disseminated. All war zones are actively preparing for battle. Many teams are already ready to advance north."

"The intelligence sent back shows that the Tiger Guards Brigade has just launched a siege." Wei Zhili introduced some changes in the military situation.

Song Yi had a solemn expression, his eyes never leaving the map. After all, as the boss who coordinated the overall situation, he was now in charge of this group of teams heading north.

You can imagine the inner pressure.

"I feel like the Tiger Brigade wants to turn Jincheng into a quagmire, but the Tiger Brigade is too small. If it really turns into a quagmire, it will be difficult for the Tiger Brigade to escape..."

Wei Zhili spoke with a worried tone. It took him more than a year to go from being a freshman carrying a gun to becoming a staff officer.

In Ping'an County, I saw the Tiger Guards Brigade mobilize thousands of soldiers and civilians to counterattack Ping'an County. I also saw them gather the Jin troops with a single group to besiege Yuan City.

Win both battles.

It left a very deep impression on him.

The Tiger Guards Brigade challenged his ideals time and time again. When he thought the Tiger Guards Brigade should rest, he resolutely chose the Northern Expedition.

Now, as the Battle of Jincheng breaks out, there is a growing trend of that side sinking into a quagmire.

"Lin Tianchen is not stuck in a quagmire, he wants to turn the entire three northeastern provinces into a big quagmire." Song Yi looked at the well-connected Jincheng on the map and shook his head.

"Whether it's from the navy or the stalemate on the national front, it's clear that the Japanese are running low on supplies."

"The three northeastern provinces have been controlled by the Japanese for over a decade, making them a very important strategic resource base for them, exporting goods to all parties. Lin Tianchen's current stalemate is intended to draw more troops to the three northeastern provinces and turn them into a quagmire."

"If this happens, the Northeast, which the Japanese have been operating for more than a decade, will become a battlefield." Song Yi exhaled lightly. The chessboard was already too big, so big that the pressure on his shoulders seemed to crush him.

At this moment, he hoped very much that there would be a figure standing in front of him to coordinate all of this, but during this period of time, he still had to hold on.

"That's not a long-term war..." Wei Zhili said, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and his expression paused.

"What did you think of?" Song Yi noticed the change in Wei Zhili's expression and asked curiously.

"Jungle Combat Manual..." Wei Zhili thought carefully for a moment and spoke slowly. After he finished speaking, his tone paused slightly, and his voice became hot. "Before the Northern Expedition, the Tiger Brigade promoted the Jungle Combat Manual on a large scale. I have read the Jungle Combat Manual. It is not very useful in these areas. The place where it can really be used should be north of Chuncheng. There are endless mountains there, and they are all deep in the mountains and old forests. And they are mainly used for winter combat..."

Wei Zhili became more and more excited as he spoke. Winter in the north is very cold, and now autumn has arrived. In just one or two months, it will be winter.

And the one on jungle warfare basically revolves around winter.

In other words, Lin Tianchen had already prepared to launch a winter offensive.

The more Wei Zhili thought about it, his eyes kept moving between Jincheng and the mountains. He felt that his brain was no longer able to think straight and goose bumps appeared on his body unconsciously.

"Winter attack?"

Song Yi was stunned. The winter in Northeast China is a really cold winter.

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Yi's mind was instantly opened. If it were someone else, they might choose to hibernate in the winter. After all, in winter, all kinds of combat are not very smooth, and moving is even more difficult.

But now it is Lin Tianchen who is heading north, and with the jungle warfare manual he knows, that is to say, Lin Tianchen will definitely not miss the coming cold winter.

"In the cold winter... notify the logistics department to prepare more cold-resistant supplies for the troops heading north. Several regiments have already been deployed, so take some with you." Song Yi quickly made a decision in his mind.

"Damn it, the Japs had a spring offensive, so this time it's our turn for a winter offensive."

"Yes!!"
