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

"Commander, a telegram from Chuncheng: The west side of the city has been driven down, with heavy casualties. The Japanese in the north are also mobilizing their forces for the main attack."

Fang Bailu reported the telegram he had just received to Lin Tianchen.

Zhang Danwu, who was drawing a map at the side, had a slight flash in his eyes.

"Commander, it seems the Japanese inside Chuncheng are aware of the war outside the city. If we can lock them down in Chuncheng..."

Zhang Shanwu asked in a low voice. From the current point of view, whether it is Shanweipo or Beidingyuan, the layout of the two areas has begun to show results.

Now, as long as Chuncheng holds out for a while, they will be able to send troops back to resolve the situation within Chuncheng.

It's already a matter of time.

But when Lin Tianchen heard this, he shook his head.

"A siege must be accompanied by a gap, and a desperate enemy should not be pursued. Spring City cannot be defended, and even if it is defended, the casualties will be too great."

Lin Tianchen shook his head, knowing what was going on. He could still vividly remember how the Japanese devils in Yuancheng had taken thousands of people with them to escape.

After a brief pause, Lin Tianchen spoke

"Order the city north to open up and let these devils out. Have the 37th Division move toward the mountain slopes. Have the 4th Regiment reserve some troops to establish a position in the direction of Chuncheng."

Lin Tianchen's voice was firm. He had considered a lot of things at this point in the war, but there was no way to retreat. He had to win this battle. As long as he won, the situation in the Northeast would become clear.

"Yes." Zhang Shanwu nodded in response.

Although Chuncheng was unable to put pressure on the Japanese, the Fourth Regiment outside the city would naturally have to bear greater pressure.

Chuncheng and Shanweipo are only 40 kilometers apart. There are quite a few Japanese soldiers in the city. If they are released, the Second and Fourth Regiments will face tremendous pressure.

Even if the 37th Division could arrive, it would still be half a beat behind, which undoubtedly increased the pressure on the 2nd and 4th Regiments.

Or it could be Lin Tianchen's order. Which staff officer doesn't know now? Never compete with the brigade commander in strategic vision, let alone tactical determination.

...........

Spring City, east of the city.

Fires suddenly appeared, war broke out, and the night sky was shrouded in smoke and thick fog.

Looking from a high place, the entire Spring City looks like a huge furnace, with flames burning red on all four sides of the city wall.

The sound of gunfire continued to flash in the fireplace.

Especially the bullets fired from the west side of the city had already devastated the city walls, and some places had even been completely destroyed by artillery fire.

Now they are almost all using their bodies to block these gaps, and their positions are the broken eaves and walls beside them.

"Chief Engineer, the independent regiment seems to be unable to hold on any longer..." Liu Xiangzhi said in a serious tone.

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Zhao's eyes became deep. The pressure in the south of the city is also very great now, but this is a fight, a fight for the rise of national destiny, and a fight for a glimmer of hope in this war.

Since the Japanese counterattack, the attack on the west side of the city has never weakened. On several occasions, Emperor Zhao even wanted to dispatch troops to provide support.

However, without any orders, he just moved from the city to the west without any large-scale support.

Faced with life and death, he relied entirely on his own resistance to fight for this glimmer of hope.

It's not that Emperor Zhao doesn't want to rescue him, but the order has not been issued yet, and he can't disrupt the overall layout. He also admires Li Yunlong's tenacity, but in such a large-scale war, it's not just Li Yunlong's location that needs to be considered.

But it is a layout that is truly considered from the overall perspective.

In the Huben Brigade, Luo Xuhui had mentioned more than once that the Huben Brigade must follow Lin Tianchen's orders, because he was the brain of war that would never make mistakes.

While Emperor Zhao was thinking, an explosion sounded again.

boom!

In the north of the city, the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments were guarding the city gate.

At this time, the Japanese also launched an attack.

Half of the troops in the south of the city began to switch fire.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

For a moment, in the northern part of the city, the flames suddenly became denser, and this time the attack was more intensive than any previous one.

On the streets in front of the city gate, some Japanese devils organized a large-scale group charge.

On the streets, some Japanese soldiers directly held up iron sheets or carried sandbags and quickly pushed their positions forward.

The fire from the heavy machine gun hit the iron sheet, sparks flew everywhere, some of them penetrated directly, blood splattered everywhere, and people were directly blown apart, with flesh and blood rushing onto the Japanese soldiers nearby.

Although terrified, the Japanese soldiers had already carried sandbags and thrown them down, or picked up iron sheets and continued to push forward.

The rapid change made Emperor Zhao's expression tense.

"The Japanese's target is the north of the city..." Emperor Zhao actually knew a long time ago that the Japanese were getting angry, but the sudden change made him understand the real purpose of the Japanese in an instant.

The fierce battle in the west of the city was just an illusion; the real breakthrough was in the north of the city.

At this moment, a voice sounded, instantly diverting Emperor Zhao's attention.

"Chief Commander, the latest telegram from Brigade Lin orders us to go to Shanweipo." A messenger delivered a telegram to Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao's expression tightened. He stared deeply at the fierce battle in the north of the city, then quickly took the telegram and took a look at it.

"Brothers, I am a soldier. I would rather be used as sand and gravel to fill the sea, or be burned in the wilderness, than live in disgrace..."

"All divisions assemble! Head towards the steep slopes of the mountain and fight to the death!!!"

Emperor Zhao almost shouted, his tone was rapid and firm.

The north of the city was difficult, but which battle in the Northern Expedition was not difficult? He also knew very well that even if the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments died, they would die in the position north of the city.

Just like the Independent Regiment, even though they were facing such great pressure and the entire regiment could be destroyed at any time, they still managed to survive until now, and now they will truly demonstrate their value.

Just like he said, what's wrong with filling the sea with sand and gravel and burning the fields with firewood?

The battle of Chuncheng has reached the most critical moment!

If we win, we will conquer Spring City and establish the trend of the three northeastern provinces.

Since setting foot on Guiyang Mountain, he entered Jincheng in the autumn, captured Shengjing in the winter, and fought in Chuncheng in the spring. In three years, he pacified three places throughout the four seasons.

And in this spring, it is a mission for their 37th Division to participate in the decisive battle in the three northeastern provinces.

"Forced March!"
