Douxing Valley.

The sky was dark and the winter snow had not stopped.

People were coming in and out of the command room. Many were packing things, and some were receiving telegrams.

"Brigade Commander, the First and Second Regiments have already cleared all five strongholds west of Shengjing. Now the new Second Regiment is taking over the cleanup of the battlefield."

"After the Logistics Regiment captured Shanfengluo Airport, the radio station has been silent. The Fourth Regiment is currently engaging the enemy."

"The 35th Division said they are continuously sending troops to Jincheng. The 3rd Regiment is now evacuating to Jincheng. The Japanese are heavily armed and controlling the southwest direction."

Fang Bailu sorted out the telegrams and reported them one by one.

Hearing this, Lin Tianchen frowned and looked solemn. From the intelligence from various places, it seemed that the Japanese were not only transporting troops to Jincheng by sea, but even troops from some large military cities or important towns such as Fuxin, Chicheng, etc. were being transferred to Jincheng.

The 35th Division alone faced about 10,000 Japanese troops at Pingzikou, not to mention that the Japanese were still providing support, and they seemed to be trying to crush the 35th Division.

The troops mobilized this time are not just the ones in front of you. Just think about it, the Japanese have arranged a lot of troops to cut off their supply lines.

"We need to speed up the pace, otherwise... the Third Regiment really can't hold on..." Lin Tianchen could foresee that the Japanese would send reinforcements to Jincheng.

What he had not expected was that even as the Third Regiment dealt a heavy blow to the landing troops, they could still fight so decisively.

At this moment, he has been harassing the areas north and south of Shengjing, destroying many areas. In addition, he has sent out spies and coordinated with small groups of troops to control the surrounding situation. Now, except for the reconnaissance planes in the sky, it is basically difficult for the Japanese to get the news out on the ground.

However, within this large area, the Japanese formed a large encirclement, withstanding their offensive and preventing the battle from spilling over.

According to Lin Tianchen's idea, the most ideal situation would naturally be for the logistics to pick up the Fourth Regiment and return south, forming military pressure in the northeast and northeast directions of Shengjing, and achieving a truly comprehensive encirclement of Shengjing.

But now Lin Tianchen felt that he could not wait any longer, because he was already preparing a table of dishes, and he couldn't let them get cold just because one person didn't arrive.

"Fang Bailu." Lin Tianchen pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.

"exist."

Fang Bailu responded quickly.

Lin Tianchen stood up, looked at the map, and said in a serious tone:

"The First, Second, and New Second Regiments, do everything you can to cripple the current Japanese forces. Then, the three regiments will converge ten kilometers west of Fengtianyi."

"After the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment rested at Antai Mountain, they must clear these two areas tonight and evacuate before dawn."

"The 35th Division will not go to Jincheng, but will break out to the east."

"The 3rd and 714th Regiments, defend Jincheng. Fight to the death without orders..."

"At night, the rotation, mobilization, and evacuation will proceed simultaneously. The command center's plan remains unchanged. We will move forward ten kilometers west of Fengtianyi..."

Lin Tianchen's words were very serious. The battle situation was changing rapidly. Since the Japanese wanted to use their advantage in military strength to tie them down.

Jincheng is indeed important and Shengjing is indeed difficult to attack, but with limited military forces, if one had to choose between the two, Lin Tianchen chose to pierce the enemy's heart without hesitation.

Because this would make the Japanese very uncomfortable, and if the Japanese were uncomfortable, he would feel better.

The most important thing at the moment is not to expose the idea too early. If we want to attack Shengjing, the 3rd Regiment and the 714th Regiment must stand guard in Jincheng, and we can also attract some more Japanese devils.

"Yes." Fang Bailu could not understand all the orders, but for him, these orders did not need to be understood, as long as they were conveyed without any mistakes or omissions.

"Little Hill..." Lin Tianchen's eyes fell on the little hill next to him, then he took out a map and carefully drew a line.

"Take a platoon to Jincheng and hand this map to Gao Jiecheng personally. After the retreat order is issued, break out along this route. I will arrange for troops to support you. If the content of the telegram contains the content we agreed upon, then the telegram shall prevail." Lin Tianchen was very serious. After all, the Third Regiment and the 714th Regiment faced many enemies.

Although the First and Second Regiments were under great pressure in the attack, he was in command after all. After discovering Gao Jiecheng's understanding of positional warfare, he basically placed them in a relatively independent position.

Artillery fire support is difficult, and he also needs Gao Jiecheng to take charge.

"I will definitely deliver it." Xiao Shanzi nodded vigorously. After being together for so long, he naturally understood the importance of this matter.

Jincheng is about to be surrounded and the pressure it faces is enormous.

As for whether or not a breakthrough can be achieved, it is obvious that most of the factors are on the map. This map obviously avoids many enemies.

Seeing Xiao Shanzi's departing back, Lin Tianchen let out a breath and looked at the command room that was almost cleaned up.

"Set off...."

In this troubled world, every farewell may be the last one, but some things must be done. With the arrival of night, his headquarters will move again.

The artillery regiment had already started moving early.

For Lin Tianchen, if the strategy of changing homes can succeed in this battle... it will be like the arrival of spring.

"Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed."

Lin Tianchen murmured to himself, this battle concerned the life and death of too many people, including the Tiger Brigade, the 35th Division, and the various troops coming from the base.

Lin Tianchen didn't want to let down the trust.

........

.....

The heavy snow and the attack on the stronghold brought the entire Northeast into a real cold winter. All that could be seen was ice and snow.

If you can't light a fire at midnight, or wrap yourself up warmly, you will surely freeze to death.

In Antai Mountain, both the Tiger Brigade and the base area used this as an extension and launched a crazy attack according to the order.

However, with the strategic transfer of the 1st, 2nd and New 2nd Regiments, it naturally became a resting place for the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment.

"Damn it, this Kong Erlangzi eats so much that he doesn't even leave any rations for the Japanese." Li Yunlong patted the snow off his body.

As for the winter offensive, Li Yunlong felt like a dragon entering the sea. After all, the winter offensive was, after all, guerrilla warfare. If it needed to be expressed more clearly, it was guerrilla warfare in winter.

From the perspective of the overall battle, it was indeed more difficult than usual. It was just that it was difficult for them, but the Japanese were even more difficult to fight, especially with the white coarse cloth. In the snow and ice, they were not afraid of the Japanese reconnaissance planes at all.

As long as the reconnaissance plane is discovered in advance, the white coarse cloth will be spread in the snow, and it will not be discovered unless it is close.

The reconnaissance planes in the sky were not difficult to detect, which caused them to move basically regardless of day or night, making it difficult for the Japanese to cope with them.

However, before they came here, they had already been thoroughly cleansed up by the 1st, 2nd and 2nd Regiments of the Tiger Brigade.

"Old Li, the latest order from Brigade Lin is that all the Japanese strongholds in Guzilin, Songjia Village... must be cleared tonight, and a powerful offensive must be launched." Ding Wei spoke quickly with a serious expression.

After these words were spoken, Li Yunlong, who had been cursing just now, became serious. He looked up at the setting sun, and the soldiers' faces all looked a little tired.

However, Li Yunlong knew what Lin Tianchen's order was. The reason why he was so eager to fight was definitely related to strategy.

Pondering over the location of Guzilin and Songjia Village, Li Yunlong couldn't help but frown.

Up to now, the winter offensive has been carried out with perfect map control. Apart from reconnaissance planes, it is basically difficult for the Japanese to obtain intelligence in the area. After all, one person was specially arranged to be scattered everywhere, and the sentry points were spread out like a net.

"Are they all located west of Shengjing?"

Li Yunlong muttered something, and immediately took out a piece of land from his arms, placed it on the table covered with piled stones in the cave, and looked at it with a frown.

"According to the original plan, we have just entered winter and should continue to extend it, but you also know that the 1st and 2nd Regiments are conducting rapid maneuvers. Our two strongholds seem to be facing north, and all we have to do is provide cover, but as far as the vicinity is concerned, there is nothing worth the 1st and 2nd Regiments' attack..." Li Yunlong frowned slightly. After all, the meaning of the order was very clear, which was to maintain strong firepower.

Go to attack the positions of the first and second regiments, but judging from the map, there are no targets nearby that require the first and second regiments to maneuver quickly.

If there was no target, then what was the purpose of the rapid maneuver of the first and second regiments? Suddenly, Li Yunlong seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Ding Wei.

"You guessed it too?" There was suppressed excitement in Ding Wei's tone.

"Change the strategy and attack Shengjing in advance! Or we can bring the battlefield to Shengjing and concentrate our forces to create a large battlefield in Shengjing." Although Li Yunlong had a hint of speculation in his voice, his tone was extremely firm.

A gust of north wind blew, and the entire map swayed in the wind, but the breathing of both of them became heavier.

This is Shengjing. If the war can spread to Shengjing, it means that no matter whether the Northern Expedition succeeds or not, at least they have done it. If we talk about the strategic significance of Jincheng, it is that it cuts off the transportation hub between the north and the south.

Then Shengjing means that they are truly capable of taking back everything they have lost, and then their headquarters, or the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, or even the mountain city will stand up.

Ding Wei was silent for a moment, exhaled a long breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, remained rational, and tried his best to think.

"The reason why the Japanese mobilized so many troops and tied up every team is largely because the pressure on the Japanese in the north has been reduced, and they can mobilize troops little by little. Now if the Tiger Brigade wants to attack Shengjing, there are only two regiments fighting Shengjing... This... This is obviously concentrating them to be sent to the Japanese." Ding Wei's tone was full of uncertainty. Although he was ecstatic about attacking Shengjing, the constraints of military strength were stating the objective facts.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments have a maximum of more than 16,000 people, including soldiers from the 33rd Division. After so many battles, they are indeed very combat-effective.

However, Shengjing, a strategic location, has been the headquarters of the Kwantung Army since the entry into the Pass, which means that the military strength of this city is absolutely astonishing.

In terms of manpower, supplies, and the fact that they were on the offensive and had to face mechanized troops, it could be said that they were at a disadvantage everywhere. It was impossible for an army of 15,000 to capture Shengjing. At most, they could only capture Fengtian Station.

"Old Li, what do you think?" Ding Wei expressed his thoughts, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and his tone revealed worry.

But Li Yunlong didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the map seriously. After a while, he looked up at Ding Wei.

"What if you don't want Jincheng?" Li Yunlong's tone was also full of uncertainty.

But as soon as this statement was put forward, Ding Wei's eyes widened and they looked at each other in surprise.

Although this idea is very bold, it is indeed something that Lin Tianchen can do. The winter offensive is actually making the Japanese very uncomfortable, and they can feel it.

However, the Japanese army's advantage in military strength made it difficult to overcome the chasm. The Japanese army clearly had more troops, soldier against soldier, general against general, and then used their large force to suppress one of the teams and strive to annihilate it.

Faced with such a strategy of the Japanese devils, neither Li Yunlong nor Ding Wei had many solutions. After all, they were not Lin Tianchen, and they did not have such strong battlefield acumen.

He couldn't do what Lin Tianchen did, who could overwhelm his opponent even with just artillery fire.

What they can actually do is to make do with equal forces, or to use the majority to defeat the minority, so as to avoid serious casualties.

But Lin Tianchen is different. Lin Tianchen has a keen grasp of the battle situation. Once it comes to them, it means that the troops will be concentrated again. Although the intensity of the battle they face is definitely not comparable to attacking a stronghold, with Lin Tianchen supporting them, this is also a boost to their combat effectiveness.

The first person to break the silence was Ding Wei, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

"If Jincheng is not taken, the entire Northern Expedition Army will attack Shengjing, which means they will be surrounded... It's a risky move, because if they fail to capture Shengjing, they will be trapped from both sides..."

Ding Wei's tone was very urgent. This kind of home-changing fighting style was basically a life-and-death struggle. Although Dingbei County was stuck between the four cities of Jincheng, Fuxin, Shengjing and Hexiang, the Northern Expedition troops were active in Dingbei County and harassed the surrounding areas.

That's because their rear, among the four cities, Jincheng is in their own hands, so at least there is a retreat.

But now, if we give up Jincheng, we will be truly surrounded.

In chessboard parlance, this is a dead piece.

However, before Ding Wei could finish his analysis, he was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"The current commander is Lin Dadan. Is there anything he dare not do? Why so many theories? When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the braver one wins..." Li Yunlong's face was full of seriousness. Although he usually cursed and wanted to step on Lin Tianchen's face every day, he had unreserved trust in Lin Tianchen.

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei nodded silently.

His analysis was based on himself, and any other commander would have come to the same conclusion.

But the commander this time is Lin Tianchen. Even if he thinks the chances of winning are less than 10%, he will still follow Lin Tianchen's lead without reservation, just like Li Yunlong.

Because they currently have no support, it is really difficult to rely on their own abilities to resolve the Japanese army's conspiracy.

Obviously, the only one who has the ability to break the deadlock at present is Lin Tianchen. This time, the tactic of changing homes may be the optimal solution considered by Lin Tianchen. This makes Ding Wei think of Ping'an County and Taigu County.

That time, Taigu County was the obvious opponent, and this time Shengjing was going to launch a surprise attack.

"Old Li, the Third Regiment should hold the position until the last moment before evacuating. Our two regiments are located south of Shengjing, and we need to make things as chaotic as possible here." After Ding Wei set his eyes on Shengjing, he guessed the intention and instantly understood what he had to do.

The more chaotic this side is, the better. Firstly, it can conceal the purpose, and secondly, it can give the Third Regiment a direction to retreat.

"If I don't make a big fuss in Heaven tonight, I'll go pick up manure after the war. Damn it!! This damn Lin Tianchen only gives me this job." Li Yunlong cursed.

This is Shengjing. Don't mention how envious he is of Kong Jie. He is following the first and second regiments to attack Shengjing as a vanguard.

He can actually play as a pioneer, so why not let him play as a pioneer?
