Niangzi Pass.

The north wind was howling, and the chill made many soldiers in the base command room shiver.

Song Yi felt the coolness and his mind became much clearer in an instant, with a serious look in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the entire command room was extremely solemn, because according to the news, not only was there fighting everywhere around Jincheng, but a regiment of the Tiger Guards Brigade was also surrounded by the Guan Jiu Division around Changling Mountain.

After hearing the news, they have been waiting for news from the front line, but the only news they have received so far is feedback from the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments.

"What's the situation in Jincheng?" Song Yi's tone was full of seriousness. Now, he was in control of the entire situation and could truly feel the pressure.

But there is no way, the superiors have more important things to do.

When seeing Wei Zhili coming over, Song Yi's eyes revealed strong anticipation.

All the staff officers in the Northern Expedition Command Room cast their eyes unconsciously. What they were most concerned about was the battle in Jincheng. It was not only related to the people in the base, but also to whether the Huben Brigade could win this battle. If successful, it would mean that the Huben Brigade truly had enough strategic space.

"No news has come out yet." Wei Zhili shook his head and said that he was always paying attention to this, but there was indeed no news.

Song Yi frowned, his eyes fell on the map, staring at the Jincheng area, and then his eyes fell on Changling Mountain.

The sound of telegrams from the side room kept ringing, and the suffocating feeling of anticipation enveloped the entire combat command room.

Suddenly, a telegraph operator in the side room was quickly deciphering a sentence. In the middle of the deciphering process, his whole body began to tremble.

When the decryption was finally completed, he stood up with an ecstatic look on his face and walked quickly into the combat command room.

Song Yi and Wei Zhili naturally saw it as well, their faces instantly turned serious, and they immediately became the focus of attention in the entire command room. Some soldiers stopped and some paused their work.

Because they all wanted to know the telegram that was related to the life and death of the Northern Expedition troops.

"Report, the Changlingshan Tiger Brigade annihilated 30,000 Japanese troops from the 9th Division of Guanyu, and the Japanese troops in Jincheng were defeated and retreated..."

When the real news came, Song Yi was expressionless. He took the phone in a daze and looked at it carefully. After about two or three seconds, he let out a long sigh, and then his face gradually turned red.

After the defeat at Changling Mountain, the 9th Division of Guanyu took advantage of this opportunity to move south. The Huben Brigades in Jincheng, Pingtuo Mountain, and Huludao, as well as several regiments in the base area, will all be in danger.

It can be said that the key to the battle of Jincheng lies in Changling Mountain.

Now, 30,000 enemies were annihilated in Changling Mountain, the victory was decided in one battle, the Japanese in Jincheng were defeated and retreated, and the initiative fell into the hands of the Huben Brigade.

All of this is due to the effects of this battle.

"We won..." Song Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and raised the telegram in his hand.

The hand holding the telegram was so tight that it had turned white.

Wei Zhili, who was standing by, looked at the telegram in the chief of staff's hand. The words were cold, but at this moment he felt that the blood in his body was boiling and his heart was beating very fast.

Changling Mountain...Jincheng won...Wei Zhili murmured in his heart, still a little bit unbelieving.

The entire conference room was like hot oil dripping into water, boiling almost instantly.

"We won!!! We won!!!"

Many staff officers showed excitement on their faces and could hardly control their emotions. They stood up from their seats, hugged each other, and could not hide the smiles on their faces.

Crazy shouts rang out in the command room, as if venting the pressure that had been building up for a long time.

Everyone understood the significance of this victory. The 30,000 Kwantung troops at Changling Mountain were annihilated, severely damaging the elite of Kwantung.

"Jincheng is back..." Song Yi suppressed his inner excitement and couldn't help but murmur.

Although I have witnessed the battles of the Tiger Brigade in Shanxi, the difficulty of the battle in the Northeast has indeed increased sharply, especially when I learned that the 9th Division of Guanzhong surrounded the 1st Regiment of the Tiger Brigade in Changling Mountain.

Song Yi made crazy deductions, but the result was not satisfactory.

But now, the Tiger Brigade won in such a desperate situation and even completely wiped out the Guan Jiu Division. Song Yi really couldn't imagine it.

Wei Zhili, who was standing by, was not as calm as Song Yi. He took the telegram from Song Yi's hand and shouted without any control.

Song Yi watched from the side, and then looking at the excited staff officer, he had to step forward to cool down.

"Report the news of the independent regiment to the headquarters and pay close attention to the direction of Jincheng. Lin Tianchen should be able to invent a coded telegram. Once it is sent, immediately help it be turned into a newspaper and released nationwide. In addition, mobilize several reserve regiments, strengthen training, and be ready to go north at any time." Song Yi forced himself to calm down. After all, the road still needs to be walked and people still have to look forward.

Now, it can only be regarded as a good start. This was the case in the battle of Guiyang Mountain, and the same is true for the battle of Jincheng.

Moreover, he knew very well that Lin Tianchen would never stop attacking easily.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Wei Zhili immediately walked out.

As Wei Zhili left, Song Yi let out a long breath. Looking at the map, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Jincheng is located at the throat of the north and the south.

There is still a long way to go, but the vastness of the vast rivers and mountains is shocking.

.....

Pudong.

Pudong at night is not as prosperous as it is during the day, and since the strict lockdown, it has seemed like a city that has lost its vitality.

Apart from the bright lights and partying in the concessions, other places in Pudong look dead.

Wen Ren sat at the table, his hand unconsciously adjusting the kerosene lamp in front of the table. The light shone in front of him, and the faint glow of the candle was imprinted in the middle of his eyes.

Every time he touched it, the candle flame shifted slightly, and his shadow grew larger and smaller.

Wen Ren sat quietly, and the Japanese soldiers' whistles could be heard from time to time outside the window. Listening to the shrill whistles, his expression became complicated.

Since the strict ban, an atmosphere of oppression has been lingering in their hearts. Transportation has become extremely difficult, and they need to be extremely careful to cover their identities. A few days ago, someone from the Qingyun Gang sacrificed his life to cover them.

In this way, Wen Ren took every step carefully.

Just as Wen Ren lowered his head to think, a thin figure walked in with a serious expression.

"Wen Ren, the last batch of supplies has already arrived in Baozhou. Here's the list of supplies for the next batch. The Japanese have been getting stricter lately."

Wang Qinchu handed a list to Wen Ren, then turned and walked to the window, slowly pulled a corner of the curtain, and looked through the glass at the Japanese soldiers patrolling the street through the gap.

Since the strict lockdown, the entire Pudong has been shrouded in fear. Gunshots have become the norm in the city, and an atmosphere of anxiety permeates the entire city.

A big reason for this was the failure of the Star City Campaign. The Japanese invaded Star City, and the areas east of South China and Southwest China were in danger, which meant that the surrounding areas had already fallen under the control of the Japanese.

This news spread throughout the country, and many people were no longer optimistic about the Battle of Star City.

"Okay, I'll contact the hospital in the next few days..."

Just when Wen Ren wanted to speak, footsteps were heard downstairs. The footsteps were very hurried, which made the two of them look nervous in an instant. After all, these hurried footsteps always brought bad news.

The two of them immediately looked at the stairs. After a while, they saw through the crack in the door a figure hurriedly going up the stairs, three steps at a time.

Looking at Zhu Ri's figure, both of them looked tense, but as Zhu Ri pushed open the door and stepped into the room, he spoke hurriedly:

"Wen Ren, Wang Qinchu, Hu Ben's clear-coded telegram: 30,000 enemies annihilated at Changling Mountain, Jincheng recaptured..."

Zhu Rihe tried his best to lower his voice, fearing that his excitement would be heard by the patrolling Japanese soldiers. His voice formed a sharp contrast with the bulging veins on his face.

He quickly took out a document from his arms and handed it to Wen Ren.

In the room, the flickering kerosene lamp made each other's figures a little vague. The two people in the room looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Jincheng has been taken?" Wang Qinchu murmured in a low voice.

"Jincheng..." Wen Ren stood up suddenly, blocking the kerosene lamp with his body. The huge voice enveloped the wall behind him. He stared at the person who came, making sure that he had not heard wrongly.

"It's about the great victory at Jincheng. Lin Brigade's clear-coded telegram has appeared, and news from the base has also arrived. Information about the battles at Bata Mountain, Pingtuo Mountain, and Huludao is all written here."

"At Changling Mountain, the Tiger Brigade destroyed the elite Guandong 9th Division."

Zhu Rihe suppressed his excitement and tried to keep his voice under control. He handed over the plain text telegram and also gave a newspaper to Wen Ren.

The information in the plaintext telegram was very simple, just what Zhu Rihe said, but the content of the newspaper was very rich, almost taking up an entire page. The four big words of the road show were "Great Victory in Jincheng".

Wen Ren's hands were shaking as he held the newspaper. He took over Xu Lan's position just to see Quanli regain his homeland, and now that it was actually before his eyes, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.

The Tiger Guards Brigade's Northern Expedition not only won a thrilling battle at Guiyang Mountain, but also captured a city... a city that had been controlled by the Japanese for more than ten years.

Star City has fallen and Mountain City is in danger, but now it is a shot in the arm to keep them calm.

"Let more people know this news." Wen Ren made a decision instantly and spoke in a deep voice.

The other two people in the room nodded affirmatively, packed up briefly, and three figures walked in the dark streets at night, holding in their hands the Tiger Brigade that ignited a blazing flame in the north.

In fact, the entire city was like a shackle under the night lights the moment the ban was issued.

The autumn wind was howling, and the violent sound of the wind spread throughout the dark night, and the whistling sound spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Under the street lights, the Japanese patrol looked around with sharp eyes, but in the dark room, kerosene lamps were lit.
