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

The stars and the moon are high in the sky, and the wind is blowing fiercely.

The north wind blew in, and the coolness made Tim Schultz feel relatively comfortable.

After all, the hasty transfer made his body feel hot.

As each soldier ran, he would pick up a fallen autumn leaf, and the sound of his feet stepping on dead branches and fallen leaves echoed through the mountains and forests.

Tim Schultz looked at the thinly dressed soldiers in front of him and began to murmur.

"Travel lightly? The battle situation should be very urgent." Imsur made some judgments in his mind.

Under the cover of night, figures were carrying guns. Since they picked up speed, their speed never slowed down throughout the entire journey. In fact, the speed became faster as time went on.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tim Schultz was very clear that this was obviously a hurry.

However, Tim Schultz was somewhat surprised by the military quality of the Second Regiment. They were running the entire way back from Dingnanpo, and only took a short rest of two or three hours before being sent back to the battlefield.

This made Tim Schultz want to find out more, but now that the news had spread, it was not difficult to find out.

At Changling Mountain, a group of people was surrounded by enemies with a size five times their own, and a fierce battle was currently underway.

Six thousand people against thirty thousand?

Or are they the elite Kwantung Army transferred from the north?

Tim Schultz had already thought of the worst possible scenario. He even believed that even if the regiment in front of him went to the battlefield, it would not be able to influence the situation.

Even when he saw the direction of their advance, it seemed that they wanted to attack head-on, which in his opinion was tantamount to seeking death. If they attacked head-on, the 30,000-strong Kwantung Army would have enough troops to surround their two regiments, and they would even have surplus troops.

"Without mechanized forces, without complete logistical support, and absolutely no air power, we'll have to rely entirely on foot to move the battlefield. How can we win? If we can't win this battle, then there's no point in having a winter offensive."

Tim Schultz grumbled in his heart. To put it bluntly, whether he could leave or not was one thing, but the point was that he didn't want to leave now. The reason was that the other party was too confident, certain that they would lose.

They relied on mechanized troops to sweep across Europe, and their air strikes left European countries with no power to fight back.

The Bear Country is vast?

But no matter how vast it is, with the rapid advance of mechanized troops, the region is no longer an insurmountable barrier.

Why are you so sure they will lose, just based on the soldiers of the Tiger Brigade running on foot?

Tim Schultz was originally in the south of Jincheng and had seen the battlefield. There was no doubt that the Tiger Brigade was indeed very strong.

But compared with their army, the difference is a bit too big.

Their mechanized forces' trucks, airborne troops and other transportation methods make them much more mobile on the battlefield than theirs.

Just like this time when a regiment was surrounded by 30,000 Japanese soldiers, the soldiers of the Tiger Brigade could only use these methods to provide support, but they could fight for air supremacy, carry out bombing, or deploy paratroopers under cover.

Simply put, Tim Schultz felt he was falling behind.

However, as Tim Schultz followed the Second Regiment forward, the sounds of gunfire and artillery became clearer and clearer. Just from these sounds, he knew how fierce the firefight was over there.

However, it was not just the direction of advance where fierce fighting was taking place. It could be said that the entire area near Jincheng was engaged in fierce fighting, even at night. However, huge explosions were heard from the direction of Jincheng.

The sound of gunfire continued to ring out. Tim Schultz was not very surprised by this. After all, if you want to achieve victory, you need to do it not only on the direct battlefield, but also on the indirect battlefield.

Jincheng.

Front-line regimental headquarters.

An explosion sounded at the front line, and under the firelight, the Japanese once again started a battle for the position.

"Damn it, they still don't stop at night." Kong Jie, who was on the battlefield, took off his dirty hat and shook off the sand on it, and started cursing.

Although the two regiments had recaptured their positions with the help of the Second Regiment, the Japanese attacks never stopped. In just one front-line position, there were nearly twenty battles within an hour.

Kong Jie's bloodshot eyes were filled with anger. It was called a position, but in fact it was just a bloody arena. The half-meter-high sandbag position was covered with flesh and blood, and the position had long been stained red with blood.

Whether in the west or east of the city, there were many corpses lying on the ground on both sides, and the surrounding area was already full of bullet craters.

On the city wall, the sharpshooter company of the Second Regiment had been providing cover, directly shooting down the Japanese snipers so that they could not show their heads and making the Japanese attacks less effective. It was precisely because of these sharpshooters of the Second Regiment that the frontal pressure on the New First and New Second Regiments was reduced a lot.

But even so, the Japanese charge still put them under great pressure.

Just as Kong Jie's curse was heard, a figure appeared at this time.

"Commander, the ammunition sent by the logistics department has been distributed. Brigadier Lin is leading the Second Regiment and the artillery to the north to rescue the regiment that is surrounded by 30,000 Japanese devils." Xie Yulin bent over and lay on the position, reporting some orders and news.

When Xie Yulin said this, his eyes also looked towards the battlefield in the distance that was still being bombarded, and his face became very solemn.

Although they were only holding the position for one night, he knew that if the Japanese launched another desperate charge like they did in the afternoon, it would be difficult for the two regiments to stop such an attack.

Although they can hold on, the sacrifice will be the greatest since they left Niangzi Pass.

If they hadn't received support from the Second Regiment and Lin's Brigade in the afternoon, they wouldn't have had the energy to defend Jincheng.

"The Kwantung Army garrison heading towards the city is not a Type A division transferred from the northern border." Kong Jie frowned slightly, his eyes thoughtful.

Class A divisions are the core force of the Kwantung Army. They are well-equipped and have strong combat effectiveness. Moreover, these troops have participated in many important battles and have extremely rich combat experience.

In addition, the Second Regiment had been running back and forth and had only a short rest, while the First Regiment had been fighting for so long that no matter how elite it was, it was still a tired force.

Kong Jie was naturally worried about facing an elite force that was several times his number.

Ding Wei on the side also frowned and sighed softly:

"When the Tiger Guards captured Chaocheng, the commander-in-chief in Shengjing, Michijiro Tani, transferred one of his direct A-type divisions there. Unexpectedly, he directly transferred all of them to Changling Mountain. It seems the Japanese have made a huge investment."

"If I'm not mistaken, this Michiro Tani wants to wipe out the Tiger Brigade in one go and deplete our manpower, but..."

Ding Wei's face was very serious. He was under great pressure, but he definitely could not defeat the encirclement he was facing. After all, they had many shelters in Jincheng and control of Pingtuo Mountain.

Lin Tianchen personally led the Second Regiment north to Changling Mountain, which meant that the situation there was extremely critical. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Type A Division was far more than just the number of people.

Their combat effectiveness, fighting style, tactical coordination, etc. are all top-notch among the Japanese.

It can be said that this is a group of veterans with rich combat experience who have fought all the way since entering the Pass.

"Just what?" Kong Jie frowned slightly and looked at Ding Wei.

"I feel that this time the problem is not that easy to solve." Ding Wei shook his head, his tone suppressed and somewhat uncertain.

But as soon as these words came out, Kong Jie shook his head and directly denied it.

"Old Ding, there are no troops left. Our troops heading north have not arrived yet." Kong Jie shook his head with certainty. Even if Lin Tianchen had an idea, he could not cook without rice.

Without a troop commander, it was a blessing to be able to rescue the regiment.

Kong Jie originally thought he had stopped talking, but after hearing what Ding Wei said, his expression remained unchanged and he slowly said, "We haven't arrived yet, but a troop may have arrived."

"The 33rd Division? Don't count on this unit..." Kong Jie said very firmly, but as he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Ding Wei in an instant.

"The 35th Jin Division!" Kong Jie's tone suddenly became excited.

Ding Wei nodded. "It's the 35th Division. I heard they took away all the artillery they could. I'm afraid it's not as simple as rescuing them."

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent two divisions into the Northeast. Anyone could see its determination to resist. That also meant that the latter unit was unlikely to be as timid as the 33rd Division in the Northeast.

Once the 35th Division contacts Lin Tianchen, Ding Wei can conclude based on his previous experience that Lin Tianchen will definitely fight to the death with this army's Type A division.

"Jincheng can't be in chaos right now... We absolutely must hold steady and not fall behind." Ding Wei paused before speaking again, "Even if the city is destroyed, we can rebuild. But if we lose all our lives in this battle, everything will be lost."

Ding Wei's gaze fell on Jincheng, and Kong Jie and Xie Yulin followed his gaze.

In the dark night, the Japanese were organizing their troops to launch an attack at the front line in the city.

At the junction of the two armies, the ground was illuminated by flames, and among the craters of various sizes, corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood had already dyed this once prosperous street red.

There were also many places where it was impossible to step on. It was all a sticky mixture of blood and dust. The fire had no burning material left, and the smell of gunpowder and burning filled the entire battlefield.

Continuous flashes of light continued to flicker in Jincheng. At this moment, the battle in the city was no longer a battle, but a complete competition of willpower between the two armies.

The ancient city, having experienced the ravages of time, could not withstand the baptism of war.

Kong Jie and others were heartbroken to see an ancient city destroyed like this, but that's how the battlefield is, the weak will be killed by knives and forks.

The battle for Jincheng is now outside Jincheng. Kong Jie and Ding Wei are very clear that Jincheng must not be in chaos. Even if their New 1st and New 2nd Regiments are wiped out, they must die inside Jincheng.

Because they couldn't hold on, the group would be in greater danger. However, compared with the 30,000 elite Kwantung Army in Changling Mountain, this battle was too easy for them.

"Lao Ding, we have to hold on. If we win this battle, the road to the Northern Expedition will be smooth..." Kong Jie lowered his head and said almost through gritting his teeth.

Ding Wei heard this and nodded.

"In the upcoming battle of Jincheng, even if our two regiments are exhausted, we must continue to fight."

Ding Wei picked up the telescope in his hand and observed the every move of the Japanese in Jincheng. Combining it with the map given to them by Lin Tianchen, he began to analyze how to deal with the attack of the Japanese.

This battle is the foundation of the Northern Expedition. Now that Lin Tianchen wants to get the bargaining chips he wants outside Jincheng, they must not let Jincheng change hands.
