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

After a brief rest, each unit, in addition to being on guard, sent out spies and each camp began to expand its team as much as possible.

The training organized by Ding Jiaguo was in full swing. Lin Tianchen was also not idle. He took Xiao Shanzi to scout the surrounding area.

The surrounding terrain, the Japanese strongholds, troop distribution, and firepower points are all drawn on the map.

Lin Tianchen handed the task of keeping an eye on the Japanese to the scouts, but he still had to be responsible for the distribution of troops and drawing maps.

After a few days of reconnaissance, as expected, the Japanese began to reinforce Wanjia Town one after another, with nearly 500 people stationed there. However, for most of them, Wanjia Town was just a transit station for the Japanese.

On several occasions, Lin Tianchen discovered that a large group was transiting through Wanjia Town. If it was small, there would be a squadron of about 300 soldiers, and the troops were mobilized very frequently. In addition, the defense force of Wanjia Town has also been greatly improved.

This allowed Lin Tianchen to set up a simple tent in a corner of the cave in the stone mountain, and Lin Tianchen gathered everyone together.

"Commander, so many Japanese soldiers passed through Wanjia Town. According to what we learned when we were recruiting soldiers, there are wars all over northwest Shanxi now." Wang Jiantang frowned, staring at the battle map made of stones.

On the map, there are some points marked by Lin Tianchen. When the Japanese invaders were stationed in Wanjia Town before, there were not so many Japanese invaders who would be dispatched from Wanjia Town.

But in just less than ten days, thousands of Japanese soldiers had passed through Wanjia Town.

"The Japs are forming a large encirclement."

Li Weiguo's face became more solemn. Even if we don't look at the whole country, just looking at the number of raids on several villages around Wanjia Town, the Japanese are now like crazy, frantically forming a large encirclement to restrict the movement of various troops.

As the Japanese moved, many villages were destroyed and people of all ages came to join the army.

"Wanjia Town is a tough nut to crack right now. A rash attack would only result in heavy casualties." Lin Tianchen paused and continued, "We can only attack the Japs who are transiting through Wanjia Town!"

After Lin Tianchen finished speaking, several people looked at each other and began to think.

A moment later, Wang Jiantang's voice rang out again: "Captain, what if there are a lot of Japanese soldiers in transit? We only have 400 people now, and the Japanese have reinforcements."

Wang Jiantang was worried about his own combat effectiveness. After all, the number of people was really not enough.

After all, this ambush is different from the previous ones. They are ambushing the Japanese on the road. Without the cover of trees or anything, it is difficult to outmaneuver the Japanese. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese basically send a small group to scout forward, and the subsequent vehicles move forward steadily.

There are really not many ways to deal with the Japanese.

"So, we can consider looking for some external help." Lin Tianchen said.

He is not a pedantic person. At present, the Japanese troops are deployed and their vigilance is very high. It is only possible to rely on them or the training of newly recruited soldiers to participate in the battle.

That will probably be next year. After all, winter is coming and it is not suitable for large-scale deployment. Now the Japs are bullying them because they dare not come out to fight. He can even feel that the Japs are trying to lure out the resisting troops.

This is a complete conspiracy. With the huge gap in combat power and equipment, the Japanese arrived at the strategic location without any scruples.

Lin Tianchen held his chin with his hand, looked at the map, and pondered for a while.

"Xiao Shanzi, go to Captain Li and ask him if he's interested in ambushing the Japanese." Lin Tianchen thought for a moment and said again, "Come back after you confirm Captain Li's reply."

Lin Tianchen was also aware of the Eighth Route Army's tactics. He was afraid that with so many wars going on throughout northwest Shanxi, if the independent regiment wanted to send troops, it would probably have to ask for permission from higher authorities.

During this period of time, Lin Tianchen had a good opportunity to prepare. Regardless of whether Li Yunlong agreed or not, he would find a way to defeat the Japanese.

"Yes..."

"Wait..." Lin Tianchen stopped the anxious Xiao Shanzi and thought for a moment before speaking again: "If he detains you, just eat and drink there for a while, and run back when you find a chance."

"I understand. If he detains me anyway, Captain, don't return the pillar."

"Sensible!" Lin Tianchen nodded approvingly.

Looking at Xiaoshanzi's departing back, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

........

Yangcun, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

The sun is shining brightly and the snowflakes are still falling.

At this moment, Yangcun was already covered in a layer of silver.

And next to the wall next to a well in Yang Village, several young figures were writing some slogans.

"Xu Lan, have you heard that our independent regiment won a great victory in Wanjia Town?" A young woman with pigtails, about twenty years old, said with a smile.

"I heard the soldiers say that the battle was over when they arrived." Xu Lan was stunned for a moment. She had a very pretty face, long flowing hair, and a hint of intellectual beauty.

Xu Lan appeared at this time. Unlike the other two, her main job was a reporter for the Pudong Jiuwang Newspaper. The purpose of her coming from Pudong this time was to report some inspiring war stories in northwestern Shanxi.

But all she saw and heard along the way was the Japanese encirclement and suppression, with all places lost, which made her come to northwestern Shanxi in silence.

It has been almost a month since I came to Yangcun, and I met two college students who came to join the army. Because we are of similar age, the three of us quickly became familiar with each other.

"Haven't you heard that there's a defeated army nearby?" The short-haired girl who had been silent said in a low voice.

"What's there to say about the defeated army?" The girl Xu Lan interrupted directly. She had seen too many defeated armies along the way, and she instinctively had no good feelings towards them.

"There are many theories. On the surface, they are a defeated army, but they are a serious team fighting against the Japanese. It is said that their commander is still very young, but he has already killed more than a thousand Japanese soldiers." The short-haired girl smiled gently. She did not care too much about being interrupted, but continued: "The victory you just mentioned by the independent regiment in Wanjia Town was an attack launched by the defeated army. The headquarters organized a study session on them some time ago, and our regiment commander kept talking about why he could not fight such a battle."

Xu Lan didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly, she looked up abruptly.

"The defeated army wiped out more than a thousand Japanese devils?" Xu Lan paused.

This kind of thing, all the way from Pudong to the northwest of Shanxi, was something she had never heard of before.

You know, these achievements are more inspiring than the report three days ago that the National Army’s three regiments annihilated 800 Japanese devils in South China.

Not to mention, the record of a defeated army killing a thousand Japanese devils.

But after hearing this, Xu Lan said in a serious tone: "Lan Meng, what else do you know? Tell me quickly."

The short-haired girl named Lan Meng looked at Xu Lan's expression and said in a serious tone, "I heard all this from the villagers who fled here. I heard that many people from their village have joined this team."

"All their battles were fought with fewer troops against more, but the villagers didn't quite understand how they fought."

When Lan Meng heard this, she couldn't believe it.

But when she heard these things from the mouths of those who participated in that team, and also heard them from the soldiers who returned from Wanjia Town, Lan Meng dared to believe it.

In northwest Shanxi, there is such a team fighting the Japanese invaders.

"To defeat the many with the few?"

When Xu Lan heard this familiar yet unfamiliar word, her expression suddenly became more serious.

Regarding what Lan Meng said, Xu Meng wanted to know even more about what this team was all about and whether it really existed.

"It seems that there were only about twenty people at the beginning. They ambushed a group of 20 Japanese soldiers and wiped out all of them..."

"That night, these twenty men attacked the enemy squadron camp, destroyed the artillery position, and escaped unscathed..."

Lan Meng thought for a moment and spoke, but as soon as she said this, Xu Lan looked at her with disbelief and suspicion.

"Don't doubt it, the captain saw it all with his own eyes..." Lan Meng looked at Xu Lan's expression. How could she not know what the other party was thinking, so she couldn't help but explain.

"It's too bizarre." Xu Lan thought of many ways to defeat the larger force with a smaller one, such as one battalion fighting another and achieving a small victory.

But I never thought that it was this method of defeating the majority with the minority, and that it was the real disadvantage in numbers that led to the victory.

"There's something even more bizarre. The independent regiment suffered a defeat before. They were ambushed by 60 Japanese soldiers. The entire regiment suffered about 400 casualties."

"But this team of about a hundred people defeated the Japanese special forces. Only about twenty Japanese soldiers were left, and they fled into the mountains in disgrace. All the cars the Japanese drove were blown up and are still at the headquarters."

Lan Meng spoke one sentence after another, and her words became more and more passionate.

These words left Xu Lan stunned, and even the woman with pigtails beside her was listening with shock.

"What else do you know? Tell me everything." Xu Lan's eyes revealed a hint of disbelief, which was very similar to the exaggerated self-boasting of some commanders she had met.

However, Xu Lan also had a little hope in her heart.

What if it's true?

But at this moment, Xu Lan suddenly discovered a thin and small figure appearing stealthily. He was wearing a military uniform that was different from theirs.

This made the three of them alert instantly.

The three of them looked at each other, and Lan Meng said anxiously:

"I'll go call for help."
