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

As the snow fell, the war-torn city began to show new life.

But at the city gate, hundreds of people looked out of place, staring blankly at the original city.

"Finally home."

Yi Zhihua held the wooden stick tightly, and his teeth were almost broken as he saw Yuan Cheng right in front of him.

Now his straight back seems a little hunched, his face is dusty and full of indignation.

Six hundred people traveled all the way from the three northeastern provinces and experienced many vicissitudes of life. When they saw the gate of the original city, many of them cried with joy.

Qian Bojun was wearing smelly clothes and his face looked pale and burnt.

If you didn't tell them that this was an army, you would have thought it was a group of people fleeing.

"Lin Tianchen! If you don't take revenge for this, you are not a gentleman. I must report your evil deeds to Commander Yan and destroy the tone of our joint resistance to the war." Yi Zhihua's tone was full of gritted teeth, and he looked at the gazes on the city wall with admiration in his eyes.

As long as there is a chance to make a comeback, he will never let Lin Tianchen have an easy time.

Back then, the sun was shining brightly, and more than 16,000 soldiers were marching in a mighty procession. He was wearing a military uniform and riding a white horse, and the military and civilians saw him off.

But now when he returned here, the wind was biting cold, the sky was gloomy, and the entire team had only more than 600...confidants following him.

When Yi Zhihua thought of this, he became furious. Lin Tianchen was not a human being... He had set up a Hongmen Banquet for him.

He foolishly believed that Lin Tianchen would listen to his command and that all the credit for the Northern Expedition would go to him.

"Lin Tianchen is not a human being..." Yi Zhihua said gritting his teeth.

At this moment, a dull voice sounded beside him, bringing Yi Zhihua's thoughts back.

"Second uncle, it seems that it is Commander Yan in front, welcoming us." A soldier next to him looked at the city wall with tears in his eyes and spoke in an excited tone.

Yi Zhihua slowly raised his head and saw some familiar people appear, including Commander Yan, Chief of Staff Zhao Songshan, and Zhao Huang of the 37th Division... Looking at the situation, all the important people of the Jinsui Army in Yuancheng had come.

Especially when he saw Commander Yan appear, Yi Zhihua could no longer control his pace and walked quickly towards Yan Laoxi.

"Commander Yan, Lin Tianchen is extremely sinful and has destroyed the anti-Japanese war of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army..." Yi Zhihua's first sentence was full of accusations.

The voice was sad, like the cry of a cuckoo, and it was very sharp. He grabbed Yan Laoxi's hands, with a look of great grief on his face.

Yan Laoxi clapped his hands in understanding and nodded in agreement:

"Commander-in-Chief Yi! I've heard about the Battle of Jincheng a long time ago. If it weren't for your 33rd Division holding off the Japanese invaders, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to take Jincheng... Your contributions are unparalleled..."

"We are lucky to have you generals. It is really lucky for me and for the country..."

Yan Laoxi felt the strange smell that hit his nose, and with a smile on his face, he could not help but patted Yi Zhihua's hands heavily. He paused slightly and spoke again:

"You've fought hard all the way, and fought bloody battles in the Northern Expedition. You've exemplified the style of the 33rd Division. The mountain city commends you highly, and has specially approved a batch of weapons for you to rebuild and restore the glory of the 33rd Division."

Old Yan was an old and experienced man, so how could he not know what Yi Zhihua wanted to say? Anyway, he would not take anything Yi Zhihua said to heart.

After all, Yi Zhihua had a plan in mind before he set out.

"We need a team like you who can be called upon at a moment's notice, a combat-ready team. Let's rebuild... The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will give you the greatest support. I'll symbolically take one-tenth of the equipment shipped to Shancheng this time, and the rest will be given to you to rebuild your team. Your sacrifice this time is too great, and everyone is aware of your achievements..."

Yan Laoxi spoke with certainty, and his eyes fell on Yi Zhihua with affirmation.

This made Yi Zhihua, who had a lot to say, hold back what he wanted to say.

If the 33rd Division's organization is retained and all its equipment is rebuilt, he will still have a chance to make a comeback. However, if Lin Tianchen's crimes are revealed, it would be equivalent to revealing the truth that they were not sacrificed.

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Zhihua finally nodded.

"I will definitely live up to Commander Yan's expectations." Yi Zhihua felt very uncomfortable, but what else could he do.

This is basically a multiple-choice question. Either he ruins Lin Tianchen's reputation, but then he may not get much equipment support. You know, Shancheng is definitely sending a lot of equipment this time. If almost all of it is given to them, he can quickly form a team.

After all, in this chaotic world, whoever has guns and bullets is the boss.

"The 33rd Division is a heroic division. If it develops well, it will be of use in the future. I have held a celebration..." Yan Laoxi's tone was full of encouragement, and his eyes were full of encouragement.

Zhao Songshan on the side was watching silently. Suddenly, a soldier whispered a few words in Zhao Songshan's ear, which instantly made Zhao Songshan's eyes serious.

Looking at Yan Laoxi and Yi Zhihua, he hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, interrupted Yan Laoxi who was about to speak, and whispered a few words in his ear.

This simple sentence made Yan Laoxi change the subject instantly.

"Master Yi, you should take a good rest first. We will hold the celebration banquet on another day."

After saying that, without waiting for Yi Zhihua's response, he strode towards the command room, and his figure gradually disappeared in the wind and snow.

Yi Zhihua felt the remaining warmth in his hands, but when the cold wind blew, he felt cold again in an instant.

Yan Laoxi felt no burden at all about getting rid of Yi Zhihua. He walked with big strides, rubbing his hands constantly.

"Where did you get the information?" Yan Laoxi couldn't control his curiosity and asked as he walked.

"On the way north, we noticed that the number of Japanese soldiers guarding the road to the north had been significantly reduced. In some of the strongholds, the number of Japanese soldiers was only half of the original number."

"The situation in the base area is similar. We also learned from the telegram sent to us by the Tiger Guards Brigade that Lin Tianchen directly abandoned Jincheng and went to attack Shengjing."

After these words were spoken, Yan Laoxi's expression paused slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Don't let Jincheng attack Shengjing?" Just looking at Zhao Songshan's affirmative face, Yan Laoxi suddenly slapped his thigh.

"As expected of someone from Jin! Cheer up!!" After confirming it, Yan Laoxi's face was full of smiles, and even wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. He couldn't control the corners of his mouth at all.

Directly attacking Shengjing was a very encouraging move. Even though he was not there, he seemed to have seen Lin Tianchen's expression, and it was clear that he didn't want Jincheng anymore and wanted to change his home directly.

Looking at Yan Laoxi's reaction, Zhao Songshan showed a wry smile on his face. Don't let Jincheng attack Shengjing. It can be said that this is a risky move that no one expected.

It would be fine if we can get it, but if we can’t, it will be a big problem.

It can be said that this is a desperate choice, but considering that the commander is Lin Tianchen, Zhao Songshan's tense heart relaxed a little.

"Shenyang not only has a complete arsenal, but also numerous industrial infrastructures. The railway station is an important place for transporting supplies out of Shengyang. Lin Tianchen's attack directly moved the battlefield to the doorstep of the Japanese! Except for some military facilities, it is estimated that everything will be stagnant." Zhao Songshan suppressed the excitement in his tone. He was absolutely not optimistic about other people attacking Shengyang.

But Lin Tianchen was different. Zhao Songshan didn't dare to compete with Lin Tianchen in strategic vision, let alone question Lin Tianchen's ability in military command.

"Okay..." Yan Laoxi's face turned red. This important city combining economy and military has a strategic significance comparable to that of the original city.

Once the original city is plunged into war, the arsenal will be unable to produce and the raw materials will be cut off.

This attack can be said to have completely dragged Shengjing into the quagmire of war. Even if the other side does not gain strength, it is still a good thing for them.

If he had to choose between Jincheng and Shengjing, even he would choose the latter without hesitation. If Jincheng is the throat that controls the north and the south, then Shengjing is a strategic location that is strong enough to control the three northeastern provinces.

But now, judging from the Japanese's movements, Lin Tianchen has hit the Japanese sore spot.

Yan Laoxi is full of faith in Lin Tianchen. The Tiger Brigade has never stopped since the Northern Expedition and is gradually fulfilling Lin Tianchen's own promise.

Yan Laoxi pondered for a moment, looked at the mounting place, thought seriously, and said:

"Now that there are fewer Japanese soldiers guarding the road to the north, that's our chance. Let's contact the base and the people in Black Cloud Village."

Yan Laoxi's eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke in a very firm tone.

"Commander, are you planning to send three troops to the north together?" Zhao Songshan on the side guessed Yan Laoxi's intention to some extent. It was obvious that he would send troops to the north again.

"Yes, unite the three armies and march north. Find some reporters to accompany them and publish photos of the Northern Expedition. This will make it more authentic. Let everyone in the country see who is actually marching north. Oh, and all the reports will be from a third party to avoid suspicion. As for the troops heading north, let Emperor Zhao take the equipment from the mountain city... Also, have him take a letter to Lin Tianchen for me."

Yan Laoxi spoke without being able to refuse, his eyes full of glint. Although the number of troops under his control had decreased, he did not feel any loss now that these troops fell into Lin Tianchen's hands.

On the contrary, in Lin Tianchen's hands, the value of the troops can be better utilized.

"Yes."

Zhao Songshan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded without trying to persuade him.

........

...

Black Cloud Village.

The wind and snow wrapped the emperor in a new layer of clothes, and the Black Cloud Village seemed to be covered with a thick silver-white cotton jacket.

In the back mountain of Heiyun Village, groups of warriors quickly gathered.

At a rough glance, there are at least four or five thousand of them. Every soldier's uniform is brand new, and the entire team is mainly composed of young people.

"Liu Ming, why are you suddenly gathering together when you are training so well? And have you noticed that they all have nameplates?" Zhuge Chuan asked with some confusion as he looked at the soldiers gathered on the training ground.

"We need to increase the intensity of our training."

Liu Ming gritted his teeth and said that those with nameplates were official soldiers of the Tiger Guard Brigade.

Zhuge Chuan on the side seemed to have thought of something in an instant.

"This is going to..." Zhuge Chuan murmured. He didn't know much about other troops, but their training intensity was definitely not low.

Since the Battle of Jiangyin, the navy existed in name only, and they were confused for a long time. Since they decided to join the Tiger Guard Brigade, their training intensity has been high.

After all, after arriving at the Tiger Guards Brigade, the veteran said that no matter how accurate your shooting is or how smart your brain is, as long as you hold a gun, you must meet the ten-kilometer weighted running time standard. This is the most basic thing.

Zhuge Chuan later learned that the Huben Brigade often had to march quickly during battles.

Whether it was the battle of Ping'an County in Jin, the raids on several train stations, or the battle of Yuancheng in Dingding, the entire Tiger Brigade ran the entire way.

Especially in the battle of Ping'an County, the first and second regiments of the Tiger Guard Brigade ran back and forth between Ping'an County and Zhenhun Pass three times, which led to the victory of that battle.

It was precisely because of this first level that these new naval cadets and more than 20 air force cadets were unable to enter.

"Liu Ming, doesn't that mean they are...going to march north?" Zhuge Chuan asked in a low voice.

"Eighty percent."

After getting a positive answer, Zhuge Chuan's eyes moved slightly. At this moment, his expression gradually became the same as Liu Chuan's. There was envy in his eyes, and he stared at the team that was gathering. They also wanted to join them.

"The arms are very complete..." Zhuge Chuan: This is my first day at the Huben Brigade. I know very well that the training of the Huben Brigade includes not only land troops, but also more than 20 air force soldiers. These have been counted and are undergoing different trainings.

They are even conducting radiation training, of course the main focus is on the Air Force.

However, looking at the air force, Zhuge Chuan always believed that one day he would be on a warship here, because the Tiger Brigade obviously had a clear plan.

The team now includes not only infantry, but also artillery, engineers, a medical corps of fifty people, and some air force cadets.

In the logistics medical team, Wang Qiuting was carrying a medical bag, while Ma Shangwu was carrying a heavy medical box.

At this moment, Ma Shangwu also guessed that they might be about to head north, and the legendary Tiger Brigade was fighting fiercely in the north, and they were serving as reserve troops.

Looking at the determination in the eyes of the person next to him, Ma Shangwu tried hard to stand straighter.

"Don't be so nervous, your brother is a lucky person." Ma Shangwu looked at the serious expression of the girl next to him and couldn't help but comfort her.

"I know that, but I'm just nervous."

Wang Qiuting shook her head because she heard about a man named Xiaoshanzi here, who was also from Sichuan Province.

When she got the news, she couldn't help but scream, but people are always contradictory. Before confirmation, she couldn't help but wonder what if it was not the case.

".The Northern Expedition is about to begin..." Wang Qiuting watched as the whistle on her shoulder blew, and the entire Black Cloud Village seemed to have changed.

Whether they were soldiers in training, women in Heiyun Village, or even veterans recuperating in the hospital, anyone who could stand up stood up, and put down whatever they were doing.

She was surrounded by a strong fighting spirit, the people around her were filled with excitement and anticipation, and the people watching her were full of expectations.

I saw a thin figure appear on the steps.

“You may have guessed it…”

"Lin Lu once said, 'If the world is peaceful, I would like to be a fisherman, woodcutter, farmer, and scholar. But if the world is about to fall, and the abyss is at my side, I will die there.'"

"Lin Brigade is fighting in the north, please help..."

"Gentlemen, Northern Expedition!!"

Cheng Tingying raised her hand with determination, and her voice was accompanied by the sound of wind chimes.

Liu Ming and Zhuge Chuan looked at each other, their blood boiling. The reason they came here was exactly for this moment.

Wang Qiuting and Ma Shangwu's eyes were full of determination, and their faces were flushed. Perhaps their purposes were different, but now they were walking on the same road, working towards the same goal.

Wang Qiuting could no longer control her anger and roared, clenching her fist and raising it high.

"Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition!"

"......"

The entire Black Cloud Village was deafening, the sound seemed to stop the wind and snow, and the real wind chimes seemed to send off... like a blessing.

Some women closed their eyes and clasped their hands together, praying. As the gate of Heiyun Village opened, they began to walk out slowly and orderly.

Wang Qiuting followed the team out, looking with heavy eyes at the two sides of the road leading down the mountain from Heiyun Village, which were filled with young and old.

There was an old man over sixty years old, with wrinkles all over his face and a heavy expression, looking at every soldier.

There are also children with innocent smiles, waving their hands constantly.

The wind and snow are pressing down on me, but my smile is as light as cotton.

The words in the book appeared before her eyes in a concrete form at this moment.

Look into the eyes of an old man and pray for his return; look into the eyes of a child and you will know the direction you are heading, there is no mistake!!

The steps are faster and steadier.

At the foot of the mountain of Heiyun Village, a large group of troops appeared before their eyes. They were in neat formation and wore different uniforms.

"The Tiger Brigade, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the base area, the three armies jointly launched the Northern Expedition..." Wang Qiuting's eyes were full of disbelief. Having stayed in Pudong for a long time, she had seen too many struggles between some military factions in the newspapers.

They fought among themselves, wasted their strength, and would rather cede territory and use the Japanese to eliminate other factions. But now, the old and the young are seeing each other off as the three armies march north.

It was a simple reunion without too many words, and they set out on the Northern Expedition in a mighty manner.

And she seemed to understand what it felt like for Xiao Shanzi to embark on this journey. There was not much expression on Wang Qiuting's face, but the determination in her eyes was about to burst out.

Xiaoshanzi chose the right path, and so did she.

The sound of wind chimes spread far and wide.

Under the white snow, the figures of the soldiers gradually walked away and disappeared in the snow...
