Brokeback Mountain.

It is the only way between Jincheng and Shengjing. Going further north is Douxing Valley and Dingbei County.

Under the heavy snow, soldiers marched hard in the snow. The whole team was stretched out very long. While resisting the wind and snow, the team in front opened the way. Every time they opened a distance, the troops in the front would be replaced.

This marching method is a summary of experience.

Although not as professional as the Tiger Guards Brigade, Li Yunlong still has many folk methods. In snowy weather, as long as he does not deviate from the direction, it is often the most time-saving.

As the low sound of artillery came from the front, Li Yunlong's face became anxious.

"Zhang Dabiao, you better gather a battalion for me quickly. Don't you see that the people up there are getting angry? Be quick." Li Yunlong cursed, and Zhang Dabiao was used to it.

Li Yunlong led his troops and walked in the front. Now the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Tiger Brigade were probably attacking Shengjing with the New 2nd Regiment. The New 1st Regiment was joining the 35th Division, and he was going to join the 3rd Regiment.

If Shengjing starts fighting, the Japanese in Jincheng will definitely support Shengjing. According to Li Yunlong's idea, it would not be Lin Tianchen's character not to fight against so many teams.

So for this mission, although it is not as good as attacking Shengjing, Li Yunlong still attaches great importance to rescuing the Third Regiment.

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao was already used to Li Yunlong's scolding.

"Put down the other supplies and go into battle lightly." Zhang Dabiao quickly gave the order.

A large group of soldiers reacted quickly, bringing with them guns, bullets, and mortars, and gathering together.

Figures gathered together and a battalion began to move forward.

Li Yunlong, holding a telescope in his hand, looked at the figure in the distance and listened to the sound of artillery approaching, which made his face become very solemn.

As dawn approaches, the darkness in the east gradually fades away, the sky begins to turn blue, and some white circles of light begin to emerge.

The flames in the west reached the sky, burning it red, just like the sunset clouds.

"There are quite a lot of Japanese devils..." Li Yunlong frowned and said in a serious tone.

Because he knew that if they continued to chase like this, the three regiments would likely be in danger.

From the battle situation, he could also see that the Japanese really wanted to wipe out an entire regiment of the Tiger Brigade. After all, this kind of pursuit was a fight to the death. If another team came, as long as they were not resilient enough, they might have been wiped out by the Japanese.

"Everyone, prepare for battle! Prepare to fight."

"Hurry up!"

"Simply build a position and set up the heavy firepower first!"

"Don't let go of the three high points. Arrange a firepower company for each of them."

Li Yunlong made arrangements quickly. After all, it was obvious that the battle was going on while retreating, which meant that the Third Regiment was not completely encircled, which made him feel a little relieved.

He knew very well how strong the Third Regiment was. A regiment with such strong combat effectiveness must not be destroyed here.

After the order was given, the soldiers of the Brokeback Mountain Independent Regiment quickly distributed grenades, and some soldiers began to adjust their guns at this time.

Many teams broke away from the main force and occupied one hill after another.

The sound of artillery in the distance was getting closer and closer, making Li Yunlong's face more and more serious. After all, judging from the sound, the Third Regiment was facing not only the tail, but was obviously being blocked by the Japanese in the direction of Shengjing.

The sound of artillery fire continued.

Gao Jiecheng was not surprised by the ambush, after all, they were breaking out to the east.

"Captain, there's something wrong with these little Japanese soldiers. They don't seem to have a strong desire to chase us, but they're still biting us so hard..."

Li Hongyan frowned, full of doubts about the speed of the Japanese pursuit.

Upon hearing this, Gao Jiecheng remained silent and quickly led the team forward. There was an ambush in front and they were about to break through. The Japanese soldiers in the rear were biting very hard. In fact, he also felt what Li Hongyan said.

"Captain Gao, Captain Li is right. The Japs' attack is a bit chaotic. I feel that the brigade commander took Feng...Tianyi and should be attacking Shengjing now. That's why these Japs are so anxious. We don't have to worry now, and we can even block them on the spot. What we should be anxious about are the more than 90,000 Japs in the direction of Jincheng." Xiao Shanzi spoke in a light tone, holding a map in his hand, and was speaking quickly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Jiecheng and Li Hongyan looked at each other, their eyes flashing slightly.

Both of them were old men who joined the team early on. They knew Xiao Shanzi's origin very well. He was from Wang Jiantang's hometown and was recruited at a young age and moved from Sichuan to Jin.

But the small hill in front of them made the two feel very unfamiliar. They looked at it carefully and found that it lacked the naivety that they had when they first met in Lijia Village. They had been following the brigade commander all the time, so it was not obvious.

Their impression was still that Xiaoshanzi was extremely fast at running on mountain roads and was also good at map drawing, but when they suddenly heard Xiaoshanzi's analysis, they suddenly understood.

This young man who has always been by Lin Tianchen's side has grown up and has mastered the skills of analyzing, mapping, and recognizing terrain.

Tactics and strategies were also improved subtly.

He had grown a lot taller, and his complexion had become more rosy and resolute from the previous pale yellow. His eyebrows were also somewhat similar to the eyes of the host.

"We should launch an ambush on the spot according to Xiaoshanzi's idea. Now that we know the intentions of this group of Japanese devils, it's our turn to act. However, we have to find a way to deal with the Japanese devils in front of us, otherwise we will be attacked from both sides." Gao Jiecheng pondered for a moment and made a decision in an instant.

He was naturally happy to see Xiaoshanzi's growth.

"Li Hongyan, you lead the team to hold off the Japanese in front, and I will start the blocking on the spot."

Gao Jiecheng thought about it seriously. Since the Japanese wanted to advance eastward, he would stop them from advancing eastward. As the brigade commander said, he would make the Japanese suffer.

"Yes!"

Li Hongyan responded and was about to lead the team forward, but suddenly, heavy artillery fire and the sound of gunfire of war were heard.

Obviously, the gunshots caught the Japanese off guard. After listening carefully to the sounds, Gao Jiecheng changed his decision instantly.

"The first battalion will stay behind to block the enemy. The second, third, fourth, and seventh battalions will all move towards Brokeback Mountain to break through the Japs. We must move quickly and start blocking the enemy right there on Brokeback Mountain."

"At the same time, arrange for the telegraph operator to telegraph the brigade commander, saying that the Japanese in Jincheng are showing signs of sending aid to Shengjing, and that our Third Regiment will launch a blocking attack on the spot."

Gao Jiecheng spoke quickly. He could feel the soldiers holding their breath as they broke out from Jincheng. After all, they were best at positions. Although the soldiers broke through bravely, they suffered only casualties. It was like a positional battle against enemies several times their number, and they had not caused much damage to the enemy.

Now that they had discovered the Japanese's intention to advance eastward, they naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and launch a blocking attack to stop the large-scale troops advancing eastward and deplete the Japanese's vitality.

"Yes!" After confirming that Gao Jiecheng had no other orders, Li Hongyan immediately went to make arrangements.

...

Feng...Tianyi.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. From the beginning of the battle, the attacks of the 1st and 2nd Regiments had already captured the heavily guarded railway station.

At the same time, the command center was stationed directly on the front line, in the train station building, watching the offensive progress of the 1st, 2nd and New 2nd Regiments.

Under Lin Tianchen's arrangement, the three regiments gradually began to attack Shengjing. Although there were many permanent troops here, under the personal command of Lin Tianchen, they began to clear out and break through with great momentum.

However, the advancement of street fighting is not like that on the plains, where a depth of more than ten miles can be opened up at once. Instead, it is advanced step by step with the support of artillery fire to ensure the safety of the area.

Lin Tianchen didn't expect to take over Shengjing in two or three days. His most fundamental idea at the moment was to open up a corner of Shengjing first. As long as they could gain a foothold in Shengjing, everything would be easy.

"Taking the initiative to defend again..." Lin Tianchen's eyes moved slightly. The Japanese soldiers in the map did not react slowly, but judging from their reaction, they were very cautious. However, it was also good this way, as he had achieved his strategic goal.

"Support from all over the place is coming soon..." Lin Tianchen was very satisfied with the results of this night's battle. Fengtianyi was completely taken, and now it was necessary to deal with the support troops.

Lin Tianchen naturally did not want to put the entire battlefield in Shengjing after attacking Shengjing by surprise. He wanted to find a favorable terrain to carry out blocking operations.

"Brigade Commander, the 3rd Regiment, the 714th Regiment and the Independent Regiment have been connected. In addition, a telegram came in that the Japs from Jincheng are already heading towards Shengjing. The 3rd Regiment sent a telegram to start blocking them on the spot to continue the Japs' eastward advance. In addition, the news of our attack on Shengjing has been sent to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the base." Fang Bailu said quickly.

Lin Tianchen looked at the map. What he was most worried about now was the reinforcements from two places.

One is towards Hexiang, and the other is towards Chuncheng.

Hexiang, if the Japanese navy were to transport the goods, Lin Tianchen currently has no effective way to deal with it on the sea.

Another one is Chuncheng. Whether it is Fuxin or Shengjing, their troops are mobilized on a large scale to Jincheng. Lin Tianchen has some idea about these two places.

However, there was no news from Chuncheng, east of Shengjing, and he had no extra troops to block the attack in these two places. He could only choose to move closer and conduct military defense.

Lin Tianchen could conclude that the Kwantung troops evacuating from the northern border would most likely stop in Chuncheng.

Lin Tianchen took a look at the visual map and his expression became much more serious.

"Fang Bailu, have the entire first regiment attack the right flank west of the city. The attacking battalion should not advance too far and should not be more than 300 meters away from the main force."

"The Second Regiment will attack the left flank. The Sharpshooter Company will be stationed on the higher points of the wall. The entire brigade will advance 100 meters, while the Sharpshooter Company will rotate and advance 50 meters."

"Let the New Second Regiment consolidate and clear the captured areas, stabilize these areas, and transform the main attack into defense..."

"Have Zhuzi dispatch a mortar battalion, bring a backup radio, and lay out telephone lines. Follow me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianchen walked out.

Fang Bailu straightened up when he heard this and said loudly:

"Yes!"

........

...

Shengjing.

Amidst the thick smoke of gunpowder, Mijiro Tani couldn't smile at all. Not to mention them, even the staff officers who had been smiling before were all filled with fear in their eyes.

The air was filled with smoke and fire was spreading to some of the Japanese bases in the city, burning raging flames.

The former headquarters building was filled with smoke.

Mijiro Tani's face was covered with dirt and his military uniform was in tatters. He had an angry look on his face. Although he had escaped death, he was full of fear when looking at everything in front of him.

It is not known which city the Tiger Guards came from to attack Shengjing, but as for Shengjing, Michijiro Tani was not worried about its loss. After all, the defenders were not pushovers.

Mijiro Tani had absolute confidence that he could hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, but he was embarrassed because Shengjing was affected by the war.

"Sir, go back to the bunker first. The Tiger Brigade's bombardment..." the ragged Kudo Sanben reminded him, his expression full of vigilance.

Mijiro Tani, who was standing by, heard this, and his eyes seemed to be branded with the raging fire in front of him. Jincheng was taken, but before they could be happy for a quarter of an hour, they heard the news that the Tiger Brigade was attacking Shengjing.

All the talk about involving strategy, concentrating advantages to wipe out the enemy, and deciding the outcome with one battle in the spring offensive, has become a joke at this moment.

Mijiro Tanii desperately wanted to gain the initiative in the war from the Tiger Guards, but in the end, every time he thought he had seized the initiative, the Tiger Guards would always shatter his fantasy.

This feeling filled him with uneasiness. After all, he knew very well that the people on the main island were not willing to accept any more failures from him.

"How many people died?" Mijiro Tani glanced at the surviving staff officers, his eyes full of hostility.

"Forty percent...died in glory." Kudo Sanben's tone was a little low. They were attacked by close-range mortars, and then attacked by the special forces of the Tiger Guard Brigade. Although they did not break in, it caused huge psychological pressure and the personnel were highly concentrated.

Following a burst of bombardment, their entire command system came to a standstill.

It was sheer luck that I survived.

"Forty percent!" Mijiro Tani said gritting his teeth.

It was not only the grief brought by the death of 40% of the staff officers, but also the fact that the command system was destroyed and they needed to rebuild it. So now that the Huben were unstoppable, he had no way to deal with it.

In addition to these 40%, there are elite commanding and staff officers from the headquarters and the Kwantung Army. These are people who have undergone military theory and actual combat.

Among them...many are talented people who are preparing to take charge of an army.

But now, the young tigers have not yet come out, and they are all bowed down under the artillery fire!

When Mijiro Tani thought of this, his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked towards the artillery fire in the west.

He said in a vicious tone: "Immediately send a telegram to all the tribes around Shengjing, gather in Shengjing... and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

The fastest way was originally to use the phone, but now the phone line has been damaged and cannot be repaired in a short time.

"Tiger Brigade..."

“Lin Tianchen!!!”

Mijiro Tani gritted his teeth. The name Lin Tianchen had become a nightmare in his heart.

With such a big situation in Shengjing, it is impossible for anyone else to be in charge except Lin Tianchen. However, he did not expect that Lin Tianchen, who was far away in Changbai Mountain, could command the troops here in such detail.
