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

Niangzi Pass.

Even at night, figures kept coming in and out of the yard.

The sound of telegraphs never ceased here.

At this moment, Jincheng has already been marked.

Song Yi kept the habit of marking the news brought by the telegram on the map one by one. This not only allowed him to intuitively understand the situation in various regions, but also reflected his belief that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

"Staff Officer Song, news from Jincheng."

Wei Zhili walked quickly towards Song Yi with a telegram in his hand. When he handed the telegram to Song Yi, he paused and spoke again:

"The 714th Regiment has arrived and is now defending Jincheng with the 3rd Regiment. All units are now advancing eastward and northward."

"Advance?"

As soon as the words came out, Song Yi's expression paused, and his eyes immediately looked at the location of Jincheng on the map. He looked at it for a long time, his hand constantly looking at the locations of several main cities east of Jincheng on the map.

"It's indeed what Lin Tianchen would do."

Song Yi murmured, this was actually within their expectations.

The Tiger Guards Brigade has been on the march. Although the winter war is difficult to fight, this is only limited to other troops. While Song Yi was feeling the arrival of winter, he had a vague feeling in his heart that Lin Tianchen would definitely make the next move.

"Staff Officer Song, our supply line has encountered a problem. The Japanese have sent a large number of troops to cut off the road to the north. If the Tiger Brigade launches a large-scale offensive at this critical juncture, wouldn't it be too... too aggressive?" Wei Zhili said with some concern.

Although they knew that the Tiger Guards would never stop, winter was approaching and the weather in the Northeast was much colder than in Shanxi. Their logistics lines were cut off. If a war broke out, it would involve tens of thousands of people, and supplies, ammunition, and warmth would all be big problems.

"Back in Shanxi, during the Japanese spring offensive and the cage strategy, the Tiger Brigade also implemented it step by step. Now that the Tiger Brigade wants it, we can't hold them back."

Song Yi frowned slightly, spoke in a serious tone, and looked towards the north.

Once the line is cut off, it actually means that the teams in the three northeastern provinces are all fighting alone...

"It's just that the line was cut, the weather was bad, and the mountains were muddy..."

Wei Zhili was not afraid, but simply worried. The Japanese were obviously taking advantage of the bad weather in the three northeastern provinces and cutting off the supply lines to trap the Tiger Brigade and wait for the arrival of spring.

Song Yi heard this and shook his head decisively, then spoke in an extremely firm tone:

"If you can't get through, send troops to fight! Open up a route for supplies to pass through. Even if you can't defeat them, if you can hold back a little Japanese soldier, then you can save one."

Song Yi's eyes were firm, and his hands were always pointing at the routes heading north. He paused slightly and looked at Wei Zhili.

"Don't ever challenge Lin Tianchen to a strategic competition. I know the frontline troops are under immense pressure, but you have to understand that no matter how great the pressure we face, can it ever be greater than that of the Tiger Guards? Or is your strategic vision superior to Lin Tianchen's?"

Song Yi pointed to the location of Jincheng. The areas around Jincheng were densely marked with the influence of various Japanese devils. Except for Jincheng, the surrounding areas were all black dots.

Even on the sea, the Japanese navy was watching covetously.

Those running on the ground, flying in the sky, and floating in the sea are all a pressure. Their vast territory is full of enemies.

Song Yi's words echoed in the staff room, causing Wei Zhili to nod unconsciously. The pressure on them was definitely not as great as that on the Tiger Guards Brigade, but the team's vision was as clear as the sky.

"I understand!" Wei Zhili heard this, his eyes looking at the location of Jincheng, his hands clenched tightly. At this moment, all rationality and military theories turned into bubbles in this map.

It's difficult for them, but not as difficult as the Tiger Guards.

Lin Tianchen's Northern Expedition is a dead end, fighting for the destiny of the nation.

Under such adverse circumstances, the Northern Expedition gained a foothold.

Who dares to say that their strategic vision can be compared with Lin Tianchen? Even if they are only qualified to be compared with Lin Tianchen, it is an absolute recognition of them.

.......

Original city.

"The 33rd Division... is all gone..."

In the attic, landscape paintings are placed in the lobby, and the four treasures of the study are arranged in an orderly manner.

In the antique room, Zhao Songshan looked at the telegram in a daze. He never thought that a division was fine a few days ago and said it had gone to Jincheng, but in the blink of an eye, a telegram was received about huge sacrifices. Basically, the entire army was wiped out, with only 600 soldiers left.

Zhao Songshan's face was filled with disbelief, but Yan Laoxi, who was sitting on a pearwood chair, read the telegram many times, and finally waved his hand and said calmly:

"Don't worry about it. Defending our country... dying on the battlefield is normal..."

Yan Laoxi picked up a cup of tea from the table and savored it carefully.

He had already had some ideas about the 33rd Division. Almost all of the people in the entire 33rd Division were Yi Zhihua's men. Even the guard dogs in the guard battalion had the surname Yi, not Yan.

When Yan Laoxi sent the 33rd Division to the Northern Expedition this time, he naturally knew what the outcome would be.

A coward who meets a pure soldier like Lin Tianchen knows the result very well. Maybe Lin Tianchen is a soldier and still young, but don't forget that Lin Tianchen is a general who has won every battle on the battlefield.

Yi Zhihua is indeed a shrewd and thoughtful man, and he is several years older than Lin Dachen. However, if Lin Tianchen really tries to trip him up, Yi Zhihua is still too young.

It would be very easy for a general who could scare the Japanese into submission to control Yi Zhihua.

Now Yan Laoxi is very clear that this is just following in Chu Yunfei's footsteps, except that Chu Yunfei is proactive while the 33rd Division is passive.

"This...will this be the same as Chu Yunfei's?" Zhao Songshan, who was standing aside, looked at Yan Laoxi's expression, as if he suddenly thought of something.

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Songshan realized that he had said the wrong thing. Yi Zhihua and Chu Yunfei have completely different personalities.

Thinking back to when they were saying goodbye, he and Yan Laoxi saw clearly that Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment were definitely not wiped out, but had joined the Tiger Brigade.

"It's a good thing that the remnants of the 33rd Division can come back." Yan Laoxi smiled when he heard this, and it was obvious that he was not sad about the annihilation of the 33rd Division.

After he finished speaking, he paused slightly, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and walked to the map.

"Welcome them with great fanfare and don't let the soldiers feel discouraged." Yan Laoxi said in a firm tone.

Zhao Songshan, who was standing by, paused when he heard this, his eyes a little dazed. Being able to be Yan Laoxi's right-hand man, he certainly couldn't be a fool. Looking at Yan Laoxi's state, he understood it instantly.

So the 33rd Division was given to Lin Tianchen.

Just thinking about it, Zhao Songshan felt something was wrong. After all, the 35th Division also went north, and Luo Xuhui and Yi Zhihua had different personalities.

"What about the 35th Division?" Zhao Songshan, who was standing aside, suppressed his voice and asked curiously.

"I'm afraid that Luo Xuhui will die gloriously like Chu Yunfei." Yan Laoxi shook his head, looked at the map with his hands behind his back, and smiled indifferently.

Zhao Songshan on the side fell silent. No matter what, these were the foundation of their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The loss of two divisions was a huge loss for them. They would give up the two divisions, but if they continued like this, the foundation of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army might be damaged.

Sensing Zhao Songshan's concerns, Yan Laoxi turned and looked at Zhao Songshan:

"If we don't support him and rely on Shancheng, they will really be fighting alone." Yan Laoxi knew what Zhao Songshan was thinking, but now he has let go of many problems.

In the battle of Yuancheng, they made way for the people, and then chased the Japanese for thousands of miles. After hearing the news, Yan Laoxi was silent for a long time.

He knew that even if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army disappeared into the dust of history, Lin Tianchen was still worthy of trust.

The 35th Division has a good pedigree and is a pro-war faction within the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. It has a completely different style from the 33rd Division. Yan Laoxi knows about Luo Xuhui and has the same opinion as Chu Yunfei.

"Actually, I've always been wondering...whether I'm suitable for leading an army..." Yan Laoxi suddenly said again.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Songshan's expression suddenly became serious.

"Do you have an answer?" Zhao Songshan asked in a deep voice. He witnessed the rise of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

He was very clear that his fate was closely related to Yan Laoxi and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and was deeply bound to them.

"I guess so, but there are some things I'm not sure about." Yan Laoxi was silent for a few seconds, shook his head, and then his eyes fell on the map.

He did not talk more on this topic, but slowly said:

"Winter is coming, and there's a problem with the transportation line?" Yan Laoxi looked at the point marked by Zhao Songshan on the map, his expression much more serious.

The entire transportation line was obviously divided by the Japanese. A large number of Japanese were stationed on the transportation line, obviously not wanting them to transport supplies north.

"The line is completely blocked. The Japanese are determined to cut off the supply line of the Tiger Brigade..." Zhao Songshan on the side suppressed his curiosity and responded to Yan Laoxi, his tone gradually becoming serious.

After all, at this time, once the Japanese blocked the area, not only supplies but even the troops heading north could not get through, and many roads, both obvious and hidden, were blocked.

"beat."

Yan Laoxi paused. He seldom said this word, but this time he was extremely firm.

It was so firm that Zhao Songshan, who was standing by, thought he had misheard for a moment. Ever since his last quick meeting with Lin Tianchen, he could almost say that he didn't recognize Yan Laoxi in front of him.

"The people in the base probably can't get through either. We should secretly unite with them and do it in a subtle way so that the mountain city doesn't see us. Let the logistics and transportation follow them through."

"Shall I arrange it now?" Zhao Songshan hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally nodded.

"Wait, there's one more thing. Change the telegram about the 33rd Division's sacrifice. First, put it in the newspaper and add this sentence at the beginning: Shancheng commanded the troops well. We sacrificed our lives to secure Jincheng. We have no choice but to serve our country and our people. Such a heroic unit must be supported and rebuilt. Anyway, we're asking for as many weapons as we can from Shancheng."

"clear!!"
