Mountain cities, eleven.

The summary of intelligence from all over the place was piled up on the table. Shen Mei frowned tightly, obviously encountering a difficult situation.

"They are trying to cut off international transport lines by landing from the southwest, completely preventing us from receiving international assistance."

Although Shen Mei is not a military commander, she still has her own judgment on some trends. At this moment, she rubbed her eyes with a headache.

After the Japanese had reached a stalemate on the front line, they chose to use their advantage at sea to mobilize a large number of troops. This strategic change was huge. Some international aid could not reach the mountain city and naturally could not be transported to the front line.

It's completely stuck on the lifeline. The Japanese's northward advance strategy in the Southeast Asian battlefield has cut off the domestic lifeline and weakened the country's ability to fight a long-term battle. If we are not careful, we may end up in a situation of defeat everywhere.

In addition, the recent fall of Star City is gradually compressing their strategic space, and they are not able to take care of both ends, so the Japanese strategic changes are beginning to show results.

"Expeditionary Force..." Shen Mei picked up a document. This document certainly did not ask her to form an expeditionary force.

Instead, they formed an intelligence department for the expeditionary force to prepare for its departure.

While Shen Mei was thinking about what to do, there was a hurried knock on the door. She looked up and saw Chen Zhongfu walking in with an excited look on his face.

"What good news is there?" Shen Mei looked at Chen Zhongfu's appearance, wanting to know, probably there was good news from somewhere.

"Director Shen, a great victory in Jincheng! In the battle of Changling Mountain, the Tiger Brigade completely wiped out the Guanjiu Division, and even their numbers were destroyed."

Chen Zhongfu said excitedly, his tone full of high pitch.

Shen Mei stood up suddenly and took the telegram from Chen Zhongfu's hand. Her expression changed with the content of the telegram.

Shen Mei, who was in the 11th Department, had memories of the 9th Division of Guantong. They were the direct subordinates of Mijiro Tani, the elite of Guandong, and one of the earliest teams to enter Guantong.

But now, the famous Guanjiu Division was defeated by the Tiger Brigade and even its number was lost. This was beyond her understanding.

The Type A Division has a large number of people. Even if the Tiger Brigade has a lot of reinforcements, the mountains are high and the roads are long, so the number of people should not be much different. But now the enemy's numbers have been destroyed. How can he not be excited?

"Jincheng was captured... The areas controlling the north and south throats are all controlled by the Huben Brigade, and the intelligence sent back by the Eagle also shows that the Japanese want to divide Jincheng and Shengjing and rule them separately..." Chen Zhongfu couldn't suppress his inner excitement. This was not just about destroying the enemy. According to the intelligence sent back by the Eagle from Shengjing, the Japanese were obviously scared this time and wanted to divide Jincheng and Shengjing and rule them separately.

"this...."

Shen Mei knew that the Tiger Brigade was very powerful, but she didn't expect that a Tiger Brigade, with three regiments from the base and a division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, would open up so many fronts around Jincheng.

Despite fighting against the Kwantung Army of over one hundred thousand, they still managed to annihilate the 9th Kwantung Division!

She didn't believe that the other Kwantung Army would sit idly by. That meant that the Japanese soldiers on the Jincheng battlefield watched the 9th Kwantung Division being wiped out. Shen Mei felt extremely happy just thinking about it.

The Kwantung Army, which had been domineering in the three northeastern provinces for more than ten years, was defeated and actually proposed to divide Shengjing and Jincheng into two parts for separate rule.

When these words came from the Japanese soldier, Shen Mei felt a little magical for a moment.

"The real truth lies in the strength of the fist." Shen Mei's tone was full of emotion. These were the fists of the Tiger Guards, thrown out one by one.

And it is obvious that this is Mijiro Tani's delaying tactic, waiting for the Far East troops of the Bear Country to leave and the Kwantung Army in the north to move south. But in the current situation, if it is the General Headquarters, they might really agree, after all, they also need to rest.

But Shen Mei was unsure about the Tiger Guards.

"Does the General Administration know?" Shen Mei calmed herself down and asked in a low voice.

"I understand. The current order from the General Headquarters is for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to fully cooperate with the troops heading north. They also sent a clear telegram immediately, even overnight, to report on the victory won by the Huben Brigade under the General Headquarters' leadership. They even sent a telegram asking the Huben Brigade to agree to a separate rule and wait until next year."

"The General Headquarters also passed this news to the troops preparing for the expedition, letting them know that the Japanese were not invincible and that they should take the Tiger Brigade as an example."

Chen Zhongfu paused for a moment before speaking again, "The General Administration asked us to contact Lin Tianchen as soon as possible, hoping to establish a connection with him..."

Connection? Shen Mei's eyes were thoughtful. After all, in the Northern Expedition, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the base area, mainly the Tiger Brigade, jointly launched the Northern Expedition. People in the headquarters were very cautious about some things.

The General Administration likes the small team that can fight the Japanese, but it doesn't like it to be close to those people. Shen Mei just thought about it for a moment and figured it out.

"Reply to the headquarters and we will do it as soon as possible. I will report the Goshawk line to the headquarters in person. I will even go to Jin or the Northeast in person to promote this matter. In addition, we are preparing to start laying troops in Burma. The expeditionary force may be about to set off." Shen Mei thought for a while and spoke.

"Yes!!"

Chen Zhongfu nodded and walked outside.

As the figure left, Shen Mei sat down. She was naturally happy about the great victory in Jincheng.

But there were some things she had to consider now. Shen Mei looked out the window with some deep eyes for a long time, and then slowly fell on the table.

"This Black Cloud Village...it seems I have to go there..."

.........

.....

South of the colorful clouds, Yuanbao area.

On a flat ground, some soldiers were packing some newly issued equipment. Many soldiers couldn't let go of these new equipment when they saw them.

Some soldiers touched the new machine guns for the first time, and their eyes were filled with surprise.

"Principal Chang, the domestic situation is not stable yet, and we are going to fight abroad..." A soldier wearing a brand new military uniform, who kept fiddling with the submachine gun in his hand, had a look of confusion on his face. He swallowed the words halfway through, looked around subconsciously, and when he found that no one else heard it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that Xingcheng has fallen, the South China region has been advanced, so that the hometowns of many soldiers in the team have been occupied by the Japanese.

Peng Guichuan really couldn't understand why he couldn't even put out the fire at home and yet he went abroad.

"Guichuan, we went there to protect the transportation line. I heard that John Country is unable to stop the Japanese." Principal Qiu Chang organized himself and looked up to respond.

He had never even left his town in his entire life, and now he was going abroad to fight the Japanese, and he was still filled with anxiety.

After saying that, he immediately squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, put it on a piece of cloth, and put it in his pocket.

"What are you doing?" Peng Guichuan asked with some confusion.

"I'm afraid of getting sick from the climate and water. I can eat a handful of soil to cure it." Qiu Changxiao explained. Although Shang Feng said that this battle would not last too long, at least it is better to be prepared.

"Is this effective?" Peng Guichuan didn't understand, but he was very respectful. He also took out a handful of green soil and put it in his pocket.

Just at this moment, the rapid assembly call sounded, causing the two to look at each other and immediately join the main force.

One by one, the high-spirited soldiers ran towards the assembly ground. In about ten minutes, a lot of soldiers gathered.

On a small platform, a well-dressed middle-aged man stood in front of everyone, holding a newspaper in his hand.

Seeing everyone gathered, he raised the newspaper.

"The Tiger Brigade marched north, captured Baozhou, fought in Guiyang, and pacified Chaocheng. Now, they have annihilated 30,000 elite troops from Guandong at Changling Mountain, and completely wiped out the 9th Division of Guandong! Recapture Jincheng!"

"The General Office has commanded battle after battle. Similarly, you, under the command of the General Office, will inevitably have such battle reports."

The deep voice resounded in all directions, and instantly the eyes of the soldiers present showed a gleam of brilliance. The Tiger Guard Brigade almost became an army that young soldiers in the country yearned for.

When the battle report of the Tiger Guard Brigade reached the south of the colorful clouds, many soldiers began to fantasize about their own expedition and winning one victory after another.

"Since the Tiger Guards Brigade was able to achieve success in the Northern Expedition, our expeditionary force must not lose face as a soldier. Since you all take the Tiger Guards Brigade as a role model for your military career, I also hope that you will return with honor from this expedition!"

This sentence immediately ignited the blood in the soldiers' hearts. Many of them raised their spears high and shouted with flushed faces.

"war!"

"war!"

Peng Guichuan and Qiu Changxiao were no exception, their eyes full of eagerness.

.....

Pingtuo Mountain.

Except for some soldiers guarding Jincheng, the rest of the troops were basically stationed in the Pingtuo Mountains.

Inside the headquarters of Pingtuo Mountain.

In addition to Wang Jiantang and others, there were also some commanders of the base. Luo Xuhui walked into the command room and his eyes unconsciously became serious.

When they were in Jin, the Huben Brigade basically took a short rest before being ready to engage in the next battle.

"Are we going to rescue the Fourth Regiment in Changbai Mountain?" Luo Xuhui was not unfamiliar with the current situation.

The Tiger Guards Brigade had a total of five regiments, including the logistics regiment that led the attack, the first regiment in the center of Changling Mountain, the second regiment that was interspersed in the area, the Iron Battalion that fought at Zhenhun Pass, and the Iron Regiment that fought at Guiyang Mountain.

In the past few days, three people from Huludao have returned.

But the only one who did not return was the 4th Regiment. Now he has entered the core circle of the Tiger Guard Brigade and naturally knows how the 4th Regiment is maneuvering in the Changbai Mountains.

"Everyone is here now. I believe this booklet is familiar to some of you."

Lin Tianchen watched the gathering of people, glanced at the small hill where the map was being laid out, and then took out a booklet.

"I need every unit to be familiar with the Jungle Warfare Manual, which contains some methods for dealing with the Northeast winter."

Lin Tianchen looked very serious. After all, the winter offensive was not as simple as a visual map. Cold-resistant supplies and the quality of each soldier would affect the non-combat casualties in winter.

The four commanders of the Tiger Guard Brigade showed understanding on their faces. After all, when they were in Heiyun Village, they had been training on the relevant contents in the booklet. This was a jungle combat manual, but it was also an encyclopedia of the Northeast winter.

Therefore, Wang Jiantang, Ouyang Wenjing, Li Weiguo and Gao Jiecheng did not read this booklet, but passed it to Luo Xuhui and others.

"Winter offensive?" Luo Xuhui was a native of Shanxi, but he also knew that the winter in the Northeast was extremely terrifying, with ice and snow everywhere, and the temperature, supplies, and basically everything was difficult.

The snow was basically over the knees, and in some places it was even as high as a person, making marching difficult.

Although Luo Xuhui was full of doubts, he immediately took the jungle combat manual from Wang Jiantang and looked at the yellowed and old manual.

As if seeing Luo Xuhui's confusion, Wang Jiantang couldn't help but explain.

"It's made by Black Cloud Village, it's a bit old."

Just this explanation made Luo Xuhui stunned for a moment.

This immediately gave him an impression. He had heard the Tiger Guards Brigade distributing jungle combat manuals during the battle of Yuancheng.

In other words, the winter offensive was already prepared at that time?

Luo Xuhui muttered to himself and looked at the combat manual in his hand carefully.

The first part of the combat manual contains some jungle combat experiences after entering the Northeast, and the rest of the manual is basically about wind and snow, as well as the need to determine safe marching routes in winter.
