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

Huludao is not an island in the strict sense, but an important inland city.

Ten kilometers northeast, Wollongong.

The sound of gunfire here has never stopped since nightfall.

A troop was stuck at Sandao, a hillside that was less than a hundred meters higher than the surrounding terrain. The slope was extremely flat and it only felt like a slightly steep road when standing on it.

It was such a place that became the main position of the independent regiment. Under the baptism of artillery fire, the entire place had become bare.

The railway to the north of the position had already been rotten beyond recognition, but similarly, there was not a single piece of intact land on the entire hillside, only bomb craters of various sizes.

Some soft areas were blown up into trenches that could accommodate two or three people.

However, in the distant bombing area, some of the Japanese's forward positions that had been prepared were also bombed by artillery fire.

"Damn it, the Japanese navy's naval guns are so damn big."

Looking at the battlefield full of craters of various sizes, Li Yunlong couldn't help but curse loudly, with a look of heartache in his eyes. After all, the power of those naval guns was really shocking.

boom!

An explosion sounded, and clouds of dust flew up, then fell on Li Yunlong's face.

Li Yunlong shook his head indifferently and adjusted his hat. He was already on the battlefield. It was impossible to expect bullets and artillery shells to have eyes.

The clothes on his body gradually turned black with scorch. The entire position had been bombed to pieces by the Japanese naval guns in the south at night.

Li Yunlong could only be thankful that before the battle, the Third Regiment instructed them to dig trenches, otherwise the casualties would be even greater than they were now. The Japanese slowed down their offensive slightly, leaned on their positions, loaded their guns, and occasionally looked up at the sky which was gradually brightening.

"What's the situation with Captain Gao?" Li Yunlong asked again.

"We are still in a head-on firefight with the Japanese. Commander, why don't you retreat a little? If the Japanese launch another wave of naval bombing, it will be unsafe here." Zhang Dabiao squatted in the trench and said in a worried tone.

The two regiments cooperated with each other, and the independent regiment blocked a large wave of Japanese soldiers from Huludao. At the beginning, a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, but the number of Japanese soldiers was too large. The Japanese soldiers coming from the direction of Qindao kept coming in waves.

The three regiments turned directly and headed in that direction.

"What the hell are you talking about? My order is to stop the Japanese heading north. Before the retreat order is issued, even if the Dragon King of the Sea passes through, he will have to rip off a dragon's whisker from me." Li Yunlong loaded the bullets and cursed.

He may not have as strong a team vision as Ding Wei, but the more fiercely the Japanese attack on them, the smoother the battle in Jincheng will be, because the Japanese are getting anxious.

If the independent regiment fails at this critical juncture, the Tiger Brigade will be attacked from both sides.

Li Yunlong knew this better than anyone else. It was rumored that the Japanese navy and army were very at odds with each other, but this time they cooperated. This meant that Jincheng had probably hit the Japanese's main artery.

"What happened just now was a mortar. Logically, the bombardment should have been from the Japanese naval guns. Why is there no sound of naval guns?" Li Yunlong asked in some surprise. After all, he had figured out the Japanese offensive.

"Zhang Dabiao, how long has it been since the Japanese navy bombarded them?" Logically speaking, since the Japanese navy bombarded them, it has been about half an hour, which is a round of covering bombardment. Sometimes they don't even set a time. Even when the Japanese army attacks, they will have another round of bombardment.

As a result, when the Japanese attack now, unless they are sure of winning and taking down their positions, they will not get too close, but will adopt long-range suppression.

"Commander, there has been no shelling since six o'clock, almost two hours." Zhang Dabiao looked at the time on his pocket watch and said with certainty.

After saying this, Zhang Dabiao's tone was full of surprise, and his expression revealed a hint of strong confusion.

"Commander, could it be because of Jincheng..." Zhang Dabiao frowned, and suddenly seemed to think of something. Lying on the position, he observed the Japanese soldiers who were attacking the position in front.

The Japs' attack was the same as before, but Zhang Dabiao felt that this group of Japs seemed to be fighting timidly.

"Damn it, it's better without naval guns." Li Yunlong looked at the Japanese soldiers below, his expression slightly relaxed. As long as there was no bombardment from the Japanese navy, their pressure would be much less.

The main reason was that the caliber of the ship's gun was too large, and the huge explosion it produced caused great psychological pressure on the soldiers.

If it continues, the warrior's mentality will be very unstable.

He was just confused by the sudden disappearance of the ship's guns.

However, at this moment, a hurried figure walked out of the command center, looking very excited.

"Old Li, Old Li..." Zhao Gang crouched down and walked quickly towards Li Yunlong.

"Brigade Lin attacked the Japanese at Jincheng Harbor and lost an aircraft carrier fleet. Brigade Lin ordered us to find an opportunity to coordinate with the Third Regiment to retreat and then look for a blocking location."

Zhao Gang raised the spear on his shoulder and lay down on the battlefield.

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Zhao Gang in disbelief.

Aircraft carrier fleet...Li Yunlong felt that the aircraft carrier fleet was far away. After all, they basically avoided fighting on the sea.

Because when we got to the beach, we were completely passive and took the beating.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't know what an aircraft carrier fleet means. It is one of the most powerful weapons in the world.

"We defeated the Japanese navy." Zhao Gang spoke again, unable to control his excitement.

Since the previous dynasty, the navy has been weak. It can be said that it has its own sea area but no maritime power, allowing the Japanese to roam freely.

The Battle of Pudong and the Battle of Jiangyin were painful events that these soldiers did not want to mention.

Think about it, when we sank our warships, it was just to prevent the Japanese from going south from the river. It was the most painful and frustrating behavior.

The large warships and powerful guns had blasted open their gates many times, but now the large warships that used naval guns to blast open the country's gates were defeated by the Tiger Brigade at this moment.

From a few years ago to now, it is like a cycle. The occupied territory is being recovered, and the troops are now on the Northern Expedition. Suddenly, we heard that a fleet of the Japanese was sunk by the Tiger Brigade.

The huge craters under their feet all speak of their frustration, but they are changing.

"Damn it, I wanted to tear off the dragon's whiskers, but he was pulling out the dragon's tendons." Li Yunlong pounded the sandbag in front of him heavily, his tone filled with uncontrollable excitement.

However, after assessing the current situation, he quickly made a decision.

"Let the Third Regiment withdraw first, and we'll stay behind to cover their retreat. Damn it, I'm going to have a good fight with the Japs."

Li Yunlong quickly spoke and said that they were far inferior to the Third Regiment in blocking the position, so let the Third Regiment withdraw first to build the position, so that the subsequent battles would be easier to fight.

"Yes."
