Douxing Valley.

Under the warm sun, the smoke of gunpowder gradually faded in Dingbei County.

The whole city seemed like a stove built on all sides, with the remaining firewood burned out and only a few sparks left.

This time, the soldiers of the Tiger Brigade did not spend too much energy in clearing out the Japanese, because they were all hiding near the solid city walls. Even if there were some casualties, these casualties were not even as many as those suffered by the Japanese in the bombing.

The most feared thing about aerial bombs is the lack of cover. As the bombers roared away, the soldiers of the Tiger Brigade emerged one by one and began to tidy up.

In the Douxing Valley's command room, Lin Tianchen put down the telescope in his hand and his eyes relaxed slightly.

"They are so angry out of shame. The Japanese really think we are going to draw a line and rule." Lin Tianchen couldn't help but shake his head, muttering to himself as he watched the only remaining red dot in Dingbei County disappear on the visual map.

Afterwards, Lin Tianchen couldn't help but look at the map. When attacking Dingbei County, almost at the same time, Dingbei County, Pingtuo Mountain, Jincheng, and some logistics lines along the way were subjected to indiscriminate bombing by the Japanese.

Judging from the Japs' vigilance and reaction, they really had no intention of fighting in winter, but were just as Dark Tiger's intelligence said, stationing troops and waiting for the opportunity.

However, the war nowadays will never come to a halt because of the Japanese devils' ideas. The war was initiated by the other side, but the decision to stop the war lies with them.

Either victory is won or they give up resistance.

Otherwise, the war will continue.

"If you want to delay time and wait for the Kwantung Army to move south... then this winter will be a test of the soldiers' willpower." Lin Tianchen subconsciously glanced at the experience progress on the visual map.

Although the entire winter has just begun, Lin Tianchen's strategic goal is very clear, which is to annihilate the Japanese's vitality and surround Shengjing with a small stronghold.

Now that the springboard Dingbei County has been taken, the next step is to see how much interference the major forces will cause.

Lin Tianchen knew that he would definitely face off against a large force of the Kwantung Army. By then, it would not be a battle of tens of thousands of people, but a battle of more than 100,000 troops. The combat area would be considered small even if it stretched for hundreds of miles. Therefore, he had a strong sense of urgency and wanted to use this winter to upgrade the visual map and thereby enhance the overall combat effectiveness.

Others are stockpiling food before winter, but what Lin Tianchen needs most now is to stockpile combat power before spring so that they can have enough to deal with the Kwantung Army.

The visual map is too small, and the Kwantung Army's strength is far greater than theirs. Once a fight breaks out, there will be no time to rest. Ammunition, food, medicine, etc. cannot be cut off. At the same time, huge pressure must be maintained on the Kwantung Army to force it to make mistakes and gain more strategic space.

In winter, in extremely cold weather, what counts is never training, but willpower based on training.

At the moment, judging from the Japanese bombing and the mobilization in various places, the Japanese responded very promptly. They did not just hide, but made adjustments in an orderly manner. They were in the stage of clenching their fists.

However, he naturally couldn't let the Japanese soldiers clench their fists easily, because after all, the clenched fist was destined to fall on the Tiger Brigade.

Lin Tianchen was looking at the map and thinking, when he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

"Travel seat."

"Travel seat."

Lin Tianchen looked up and saw Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo walking in, exhausted. Their patched-up uniforms now had several large holes in them.

"Tell me about the situation." Lin Tianchen gestured to the two of them to find a place to sit down.

"There's a special situation right now. We've discovered that the Japanese in Dingbei County have an inaccurate ammunition base. Let's not even talk about the ammunition supply to each individual Japanese soldier. Even when we went to the underground ammunition depot in the city, we found that the supply inside was less than that of a Japanese regiment. This is the number we got from statistics."

Wang Jiantang spoke seriously. Dingbei County was originally a major transportation hub. If they were stuck here, they would cut off the connection between the major cities.

But this one is enough to threaten Shengjing and Fu...Xin Guxian, there are only so many ammunitions here?

Wang Jiantang seemed abnormal no matter how he looked at it. After all, once he could no longer fight to support his war, he would feel insecure.

"The ammunition base is wrong?" Lin Tianchen frowned slightly, paused slightly, took it and looked at it carefully, his eyes flashed slightly.

The statistical data included anti-aircraft shells and only three boxes of ammunition. However, Lin Tianchen could naturally understand these ammunitions. The only air threat was the Japanese themselves, and they generally did not prepare a lot of anti-aircraft bullets.

But the more Lin Tianchen looked at the mortar shells, the more he felt something was wrong.

"The Japanese devils' ammunition base has decreased." Lin Tianchen understood something almost instantly.

Judging from the reduction in the daily amount of ammunition carried by the Japanese, it is obvious that the difficulties are not caused by resource shortages. If it is not a shortage of resources, it means that the Japanese have deliberately adjusted the amount of ammunition.

"Go and receive the ammunition sent by Ouyang Wenjing. Have the two regiments rest and maintain vigilance within the walls of Dingbei County."

Lin Tianchen thought for a moment and spoke calmly, his eyes more serious than ever before.

The current Tiger Guard Brigade can no longer rely on the concept of fighting to support fighting. Due to the increase in numbers, the artillery shells used now are almost all from Yan Laoxi, and he has carefully calculated that these artillery shells should be able to support the arrival of spring, and this is based on the situation of high-intensity and fierce war.

If we save our fighting time, we can still have a big battle with the Kwantung Army after the spring.

However, none of these can provide a stronger sense of security than fighting to support the war. After all, their logistical ammunition can be stored, and they can rely on fighting to support the war to launch round after round of offensives. Once the Japanese's ammunition supply is reduced, it means that after the battle, their spoils will be lower.

Living beyond your means will never bring you a sense of security.

So Lin Tianchen was very serious about this matter.

"Yes." Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo nodded immediately.

At this moment, Fang Bailu walked over quickly.

"Brigade Commander, emergency call from the Independent Regiment."

When the voice came out, Lin Tianchen frowned slightly, subconsciously using the visual map to extend it, and his expression became a little serious.

After all, with the seized goods, they have a lot of telephone lines in their hands, and they have established a firm foothold, so they will basically lay telephone lines wherever they can.

However, in response to this urgent call, Lin Tianchen walked to the phone and took the phone from the soldier.

"I am Lin Tianchen." Lin Tianchen spoke in a serious tone.

"Lin Brigade, this is Zhang Dabiao. A mechanized unit is being mobilized from Hexiang towards Shengjing. We discovered that the Japanese stronghold at Dataizipo is empty. Requesting combat instructions."

As the voice came out, Lin Tianchen's expression showed surprise, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Is this Li Yunlong's decision?

Lin Tianchen felt like the sun was rising from the west. This didn't seem like Li Yunlong's style at all.

"Agree." Lin Tianchen nodded without hesitation.

He was only about 30 kilometers away from Dataizipo. He had just seen the mobilization of the mechanized troops, but the direction was not Dingbei County.

The three regiments of the base were placed there to prevent this mechanized force from coming to support Dingbei County, but the Japanese actually went directly to Shengjing instead of coming here.

Lin Tianchen naturally agreed with Li Yunlong's idea of ​​attacking the stronghold.

Perhaps this is the best chance to capture the stronghold, especially when he saw the bright red area on the Japanese stronghold on the map, Lin Tianchen instantly realized that if he captured this stronghold, many problems could be alleviated.

For a place that can support a mechanized force, you can imagine the amount of ammunition here. Even if the base number is reduced, the ammunition is still sufficient. And it is obvious that the mechanized force has just been adjusted and it seems that a rotation of defense has been carried out.

This is a very good opportunity for Lin Tianchen. If Dingbei County was not at least 30 kilometers away, he would have wanted to lead the first regiment directly to this stronghold and let the second regiment garrison Dingbei County.

But even so, there is an opportunity now. The Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment have obviously not been noticed by the Japanese, which means there is plenty of time to capture this stronghold before the Japanese change their defense.

As the call ended, Lin Tianchen, Wang Jiantang, and Li Weiguo looked at each other.

"Li Yunlong actually asked for instructions?" Lin Tianchen said in disbelief.

Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo were speechless for a moment. After all, they both knew Li Yunlong very well, and this was not Li Yunlong's style at all.

Lin Tianchen shook his head, shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind, and his face became serious: "Li Yunlong is likely to make a fortune, and there is a high possibility that that place will become the new center of the war."

An ammunition depot that has not been completely moved was now discovered by them in the weakest area of ​​the troops. There are even three regiments nearby. This is a rare opportunity for him and the Northern Expedition troops.

Lin Tianchen had observed this before. Because there was a mechanized force there, and although it was not close to Shengjing, the transportation routes were very convenient, so the focus was more on defense for this stronghold.

But now, with the mobilization of mechanized troops, this period of rotation has made Lin Tianchen change his mind.

"Commander, just give the order." Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo had been following Lin Tianchen for many days, so they naturally understood what Lin Tianchen meant.

"Receive logistics and ammunition, rest in Dingbei County, and prepare for the next major battle. The second regiment will arrange for two battalions to march ten kilometers north, and the other battalions will remain in Dingbei County... The first regiment will rest and be ready to attack at any time. Go make the arrangements."

Lin Tianchen's tone was very serious. Dataizipo could trigger a chain reaction at any time. The current Dingbei County could only be regarded as a sneak attack, but the battle at Dataizipo could become the front line for them and the Japanese to deal with Shengjing at any time.

"Yes!" Wang Jiantang and Li Weiguo responded.

Watching the two people leave, Lin Tianchen turned to look at Fang Bailu.

"Fang Bailu, call the logistics department and have them march quickly to Dataizipo for support."

"Yes!"
