Dongzhang Spring.

The sky becomes ink-colored rice paper, and the white snow becomes a brush to embellish the vast mountains and rivers.

The stars and the bright moon brought the cold wind. Luo Xuhui tightened his military uniform in the temporary command room on the slope of Dongzhangquan. He could now really feel the change in the weather.

He turned up the brightness of the surrounding kerosene lamps a bit and focused his eyes on a map. The map was densely marked with many locations, including the Japanese strongholds and the approximate distribution of troops.

This map was given to him by Lin Tianchen. Luo Xuhui likes to take it out and look at it when he has nothing to do. There are many symbols in it, which all mean that they may be used in the future.

"Master Luo, our mission this time is very important."

Peng Shanping on the side spoke in a serious tone, his eyes also focused on the map. At this moment, he was unable to conceal his excitement.

When thinking about leaving, Lin Tianchen called him aside and explained the importance of this mission.

As the saying goes, a man will die for his friend. Originally, he just wanted to make a smooth transition for the original soldiers, and he was gradually marginalized, but he didn't expect that he would get such an important task.

After hearing this, Luo Xuhui's eyes became sharper.

"What do you think?" Luo Xuhui asked curiously.

"We are guarding Dongzhangquan. If any Japanese soldiers pass by here, we can fight them first and report to the police later. This is what Brigade Lin said..." Peng Shanping pointed to the location of Dongzhangquan on the map, and then pointed to Chaocheng, Jincheng, Fu... Xin.

From the perspective of the winter offensive, although the Dongzhangquan roads are well-connected, they are located in the rear. With the main roads of these three places, if they attack Beiding County, they are very likely to face the support troops of the Japanese devils.

"This position is very special. Brigade Lin wants us to form a line of defense with the 3rd and 774th Regiments to form the flank of Jincheng." Luo Xuhui nodded in agreement. Jincheng is very important, and as the flank of Jincheng, facing troops in three directions, their position is also very important.

Once the war situation in the north becomes unfavorable, they will be the guarantee for the retreat of various troops.

Is it just a disadvantage? Luo Xuhui muttered in his heart, thinking of Lin Tianchen's command ability, he felt that it was really difficult for an unfavorable situation to occur.

As Luo Xuhui looked, his gaze unconsciously continued to extend to the south and west.

"Lin Lu means that we should find some opportunities ourselves. Look at Chicheng, Cheng... De, these places, can we..."

Luo Xuhui did not make it a one-man show. Now he just wanted to increase the intensity of the battle a little higher. After all, only with a higher intensity of battle can they show their bravery.

After finishing speaking, Luo Xuhui paused slightly and pointed at the map again.

"We have a division, a Tiger Guard regiment, and a base regiment, all deployed along this line. We also have this line here to guard against the Japanese from behind. They probably won't expect us to attack. If we take the initiative, Fu...Xin is huge, and we can stir up the situation there and relieve the pressure on the front..."

Luo Xuhui's tone was full of enthusiasm, and the kerosene lamp illuminated the dense punctuation marks on the map.

The line was clearly visible to Peng Shanping, who looked at Luo Xuhui with some disbelief.

For a moment, Peng Shanping felt very uncomfortable. After all, the 35th Division and the 33rd Division were both from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Having been in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army for eight years, he always thought that the 33rd Division was normal.

But Luo Xuhui at the moment actually wanted to take the initiative and attack Fu...xin to the west, in order to threaten Cheng...de, Chicheng and other places.

Warlike...Peng Shanping gave up the idea unconsciously, but what Luo Xuhui said made him feel that there was a lot of room for maneuver.

"Should I ask for instructions?" Peng Shanping hesitated for a moment and spoke involuntarily.

"Of course..." Luo Xuhui nodded. After all, this time it was a siege, but all this was based on the fact that Fu...Xin had an opportunity.

If there is no chance, he can only pull the team back again.

Moreover, all this is based on the fact that Fu...Xin's radiation range is very large. Their purpose is to disrupt Fu...Xin and prevent the Japanese in Fu...Xin from concentrating on their mobilization.

After all, if Dingbei County is attacked, there are only three places that can be supported, Fuxin and Chaocheng, and the other is Shengjing. Chaocheng has suffered two consecutive waves of large-scale annihilation of defenders, and its combat power is not very strong now.

So what we need to consider are actually the two places of Fuxin and Shengjing. Shengjing is the headquarters of the Japanese army, which is not something they can take over.

But if we disrupt Fu...Xin and put the Japanese in a dilemma, there will be no problem.

"Moreover, the two main regiments of the Tiger Guard Brigade are directly stationed there. They can also attack some of the Japanese's outer strongholds and use Dingbei County as a springboard. Then they can take over important surrounding strongholds based on this springboard and spread out in sequence... If we go to Luanfu...Xin, then the entire initiative will be in our hands." Peng Shanping thought carefully about Luo Xuhui's words, his tone a little hot.

Luo Xuhui was a little surprised. Although Peng Shanping did not hold any position in the 35th Division, facing Lin Tianchen's arrangement, he had considered Peng Shanping's responsibilities to some extent.

He also sought Peng Shanping's opinion to some extent and cooperated with the Huben Brigade in a battle at Changling Mountain. Luo Xuhui's understanding of their tactical style has been constantly refreshed. Putting aside the fact that he wanted to sacrifice, the Huben Brigade would definitely take the initiative in Dingbei County, and even a clash with Shengjing was inevitable.

Faced with Peng Shanping's consent, Luo Xuhui thought about it.

"So, the defense line here must remain stable. I'll have one brigade dig trenches first, while we continue northward... to seize the initiative."

Luo Xuhui thought about it and made a decision unconsciously. If Lin Tianchen had given a death order, he would never mention going north. It was just obvious that this winter offensive was to use the Tiger and Leopard Brigade to attack from the front and attack in multiple places.

Therefore, after Luo Xuhui racked his brains and combined with the map, he clearly understood Lin Tianchen's idea.

If you are sure, continue to head north. If you are not sure, guard Dongzhangquan.

Faced with these two options, Luo Xuhui really wanted to go north and try. After all, once the situation was opened up, it would be a huge improvement on the front battlefield.

.......

...

Shengjing.

The lights are bright, and four stoves are placed in the four corners of the house to ensure heating in winter.

After Mijiro Tani finished the call and got another chance, he felt much better, but there was not much smile on his face. After all, the Tiger Brigade was still a big concern for him.

But it wasn't as heavy as before, which made the atmosphere in the entire command center much better.

"Sir, these are the photos sent back by the reconnaissance plane during the day." Kudo Sanben placed some photos in his hand on the table.

Drawing a line to control the situation stopped the Tiger Brigade, and they had more time to buffer and deploy troops.

Although drawing a line to rule was a last resort and set a precedent, they had no other choice. Jincheng could not withstand the attack of the Huben Brigade. If they continued to fight, it might even cause the collapse of the local situation, forcing the Kwantung Army in the north to move south early.

Considering that the battle between the bear and the tiger is far from reaching a white-hot stage, they need some time to make arrangements, and the so-called strategic shift is also a last resort.

"Even the Tiger Brigade at Xueluoping has gone into hiding... In winter, without logistical supplies, the Tiger Brigade can't fight. Even if they can, they can't fight many battles."

Mijiro Tani took a look at the photo and understood what was going on. In his opinion, failure was not terrible.

Think about his great-grandfather's generation, who failed in the war in this coastal area, and finally retreated after showing weakness. A hundred years later, they continued to reform, made a comeback, and bombarded the gates here.

Mijiro Tanii first showed weakness and then built up his strength. When spring came, he would make the Tiger Guard Brigade completely disappear from this world.

"Jincheng's clear code telegram." Mijiro Tani muttered in his heart, obviously still brooding over Jincheng's failure. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but shook his head, shaking off some confused thoughts.

At this time, Kudo Sanben next to him hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"Sir, according to news from South China, the resistance in Star City has become extremely stubborn, with even military and civilian cooperation. After we entered Star City, the front-line troops were disconnected from the follow-up troops, and are now anxiously waiting inside the city..."

"Headquarters said it was due to our influence..."

As Kudo Sanbon spoke, his voice couldn't help but lower.

Just in response to this, Mijiro Tani raised his hand and said in a very firm tone, not allowing any rebuttal:

"When the Jin-Cha-Ji region couldn't stop it, why didn't they say it was because of us? One in the south, one in the north, and the second Star City War failed, and they actually said it was our influence? What a bunch of rubbish."

When Mijiro Tani's cursing voice was heard, Kudo Sanbon naturally echoed it immediately.

"Your Excellency is right."

"Kudo, take a good look at the impact logistics has on the troops. Whether it's South China, Central China, or East China, our Kwantung Army will ultimately need to march south to deal with them. History will eventually recognize that my strategy was the correct one."

Mijiro Tani spoke with a firm tone. Although he knew that the battle of Xingcheng happened just before and after the telegram of the victory in Jincheng was sent out, for him, these were not the most important things.

What we need most right now is to wait, wait for the pressure from the allies faced by the Bear Country. Then the Bear Country’s Far East Army will retreat westward, and the Kwantung Army will naturally move south on a large scale!

The allies are really strong... Mijiro Tani's heart was filled with emotion. He had fought with Mao Xiong and his friends before, but he knew very well that Mao Xiong's fighting ability was actually very strong. However, now he was being beaten back by them and their friends.

I can only say...I found the right ally.
