Beidingyuan.

The wreckage of tanks is still scattered all over the plain, and in some places there are the wreckage of bombers. Many puddles have formed in the large and small craters.

The battlefield, which was once a scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, had begun to show bits of green at this time, emerging from the ground and forming tender fangs.

"Daniel, well maintained..."

Sitting on the wreckage of the tank, Wang Jiantang oiled the machine gun in his hand and nodded approvingly.

"Hehe, Captain, after all, I have been with you for so long." Da Niu smiled naively.

"After you finish the battle with the brigade commander, I will take you to Shu to hunt. I will tell you..." Just as Wang Jiantang was talking, a soldier suddenly appeared beside Wang Jiantang with a newspaper.

Seeing the serious expression on the soldier's face, Wang Jiantang suddenly had a bad feeling and immediately took the book and began to read it carefully.

"Damn mountain city!" Wang Jiantang took a deep breath and cursed angrily.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Da Niu didn't quite understand, and Changsheng also came over at this time.

After following Wang Jiantang for a long time, I recognize some of the characters.

"Will the commander agree to this?" Changsheng's tone was full of doubt.

"I'm afraid he will agree."

Wang Jiantang's tone became a little heavy. The moment he saw the newspaper, he instantly understood why there was no smile at Lin Tianchen's previous meeting, and it seemed more like he was arranging their destination.

When Guo Qiaozhen passed by, she suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on Wang Jiantang. In fact, she couldn't understand why Lin Tianchen agreed to the southern expedition. It was obvious that the three northeastern provinces had good development opportunities... Isn't this in line with Shancheng's wishes?

It is true that Guo Qiaozhen is a journalist, but she can still distinguish between what is important and what is right and wrong, so she stopped and focused all her attention on Wang Jiantang.

"The Japanese are bound to be defeated, and then they will face internal strife. The brigade commander definitely doesn't want to fight among his own people, so he will definitely march south..."

Wang Jiantang spoke with certainty. The moment the newspaper appeared, he had some guesses. After all, he was one of the first people to follow Lin Tianchen, and he knew Lin Tianchen's personality very well.

Not for the mountain city, but for peace. Guo Qiaozhen understood the meaning of Lin Tianchen's words almost instantly.

"But even if Lin Lu left, there are still other things..." Guo Qiaozhen's tone was full of confusion.

"Maybe except for the base, no one can fight. It is better for two heroes to fight than for three to fight."

Wang Jiantang explained, but this explanation made Guo Qiaozhen silent again.

Looking through thousands of years of history, how many people can achieve this?

At this moment, she suddenly felt that her burden had become heavier without her realizing it.

Returning to one's roots is an idea deeply ingrained in every Chinese person, but it takes a lot of determination to go south this time.

Once you leave your hometown to fight, there is no hope of returning home.

Wang Jiantang was stunned. Black Cloud Village became their home and Fengling Mountain became their faith, but the root of all this was because of Lin Tianchen.

Even if it meant following Lin Tianchen to become a mountain king, Wang Jiantang was willing, but he felt that he probably didn't want to take him out with him.

"Reporter Guo, please do as you please..." Thinking of this, Wang Jiantang could no longer sit still.

"You two notify the entire group to assemble."

"Yes!" Da Niu and Changsheng immediately nodded in response.

Guo Qiaozhen looked at it blankly. He found that the first regiment had just begun to assemble, and the second regiment was also assembling rapidly. This unusual behavior made many soldiers here think that another battle was about to start.

However, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the guerrillas in the base area did not receive any combat orders, but they still remained assembled.

All of a sudden, warriors from the entire Beidingyuan began to gather, and one figure after another began to gather and come into view.

Just like grains of sand, they began to condense and eventually gathered into a wall, and began to gather into a city wall.

Walking on this battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder has faded, the sounds of footsteps and the clashing of iron tools began to converge.

On the edge of Beidingyuan, two war horses galloped across the plain.

Sun Zhuyang and Li Hongyan still looked anxious.

"Captain Sun, we are almost at the base." Li Hongyan said loudly.

When they arrived in Tonghua City, they also saw the newspapers in the mountain city. The commanders of the Third Regiment, the Fifth Regiment, the Logistics Regiment and various departments were a little worried.

In particular, Commander Wang Shan immediately arranged for the two representatives to return to the command center.

Because of their understanding of Lin's brigade, when Wang Shan gave the order, several regiment commanders agreed without any hesitation.

"We should be able to catch up. Lin Lu won't..."

Before Sun Zhuyang could finish his words, something that made them worry happened before their eyes.

In Beidingyuan, many soldiers have begun to gather on the battlefield that was originally over.

Under the warm sun, rows of soldiers stood neatly in front of the plains of the headquarters.

The momentum is huge and the momentum is overwhelming.

All I could see were soldiers from the Tiger Brigade. There were even many guerrilla fighters following them. They were wearing militia uniforms and standing resolutely in the team.

There were many wounded soldiers standing in the team.

Some people had bloody gauze wrapped around their heads, and some soldiers were being supported by others. Everyone's eyes were focused on the command center.

The two men quickly dismounted and headed straight for the command center.

"Brigade Commander!"

"Brigade Commander!"

"The Third, Fifth, and Logistics Regiments request to be reassigned."

Although there were only two people, their voices were full of determination.

Lin Tianchen walked out of the command center, his eyes heavy as he scanned the area. The first people he saw were the old men who had followed him in the past: Wang Jiantang, Li Weiguo, and Ding Jiaguo...

One by one, the soldiers stood on Beidingyuan, their eyes filled with determination, focused on him, as if their every move could drive the emotions of these people.

"Commander, we should have died on the battlefield long ago. Wherever you go, we will be the vanguard! If I really can't fight anymore, you will still need me, teacher!!" Wang Jiantang's tone was full of determination.

"Lin Lu, I'm your stand-in, your chief coach... Wherever you go, you have to take me with you. I still depend on you for the rest of my life... If you take me with you, you have to take the Third Regiment with you. After all, Gao Jiecheng is my brother-in-law!!"

Ding Jiaguo looked down at his body which was missing limbs, and spoke with a smile.

"...We followed you out of Lijia Village because of you, Commander. You can't abandon us." Li Weiguo took off his hat, his tone full of seriousness.

Lin Tianchen hesitated between Wang Jiantang, Li Weiguo, and Ding Jiaguo.

Apparently, his thoughts were guessed by the elders who had followed him the longest. He looked behind them, at the dark mass of heads and the breeze blowing the corners of his clothes. At this moment, he was not at peace.

Waiting eagerly for him to give orders.

"Why do you have to do this..." Lin Tianchen sighed softly and spoke in a deep voice.

"Commander, you said you would take us on a horseback ride through the cherry blossoms. We haven't even made that promise yet, so how could we just leave like that? We'll follow you wherever you go."

"Yes! We have defeated the Japanese invaders in the three northeastern provinces. We will follow you to fight them wherever there are Japanese invaders."

"In life, we are members of the Tiger Guards. In death, we are ghosts of the Tiger Guards. Wherever the commander goes, we go."

"Captain, most of us are homeless. If you don't take us with you, you're essentially kicking us out of our homes..."

"Our home is in the Tiger Brigade..."

"..."

The veteran's eyes were full of determination, and the soldier with his wound bandaged tried hard to stand straight.

Lin Tianchen said nothing, his eyes fell on the faces of the soldiers, like stones falling on the surface of the lake, stirring up ripples in his heart.

The sun bathed the soldiers' bodies, and their faces, which were once covered with dirt on the battlefield, were now washed clean, and various faces appeared in his eyes.

Lin Tianchen couldn't remember all the faces, but the looks of these people were imprinted in his heart.

Determined, no regrets, with light in the eyes.

"Commander, you can arrange it however you want. Your order is our direction. I will never regret it even if I die!" Ding Jiaguo stopped laughing and spoke in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Lin Tianchen looked at the person in front of him and was silent for a long time. Everyone was looking forward to his every word.

"During this southern expedition, I will definitely find a place for you all to settle down and build a career..."

Lin Tianchen roared angrily, going straight into the hearts of every soldier.

"war!"

"Southern Expedition!"

Lin Tianchen's words were like thunder in the sky, resounding throughout the earth. The sound waves shook the water on the crater, causing ripples to form.

The wind stopped, the auspicious clouds stagnated, and the warm sun shone into the body, all of them were subdued by the roar of the world.

Witness the haunting souls of the dead on this black soil, Beidingyuan.

The voice came, and Lin Tianchen said loudly:

"Today, the Tiger Expeditionary Force is established!!!"

"Zhang Shanwu, have the staff quickly count the number of troops marching south. Ask the troops if there are any soldiers from Yunnan and Burma. Gather combat experience and be prepared!"

Lin Tianchen's eyes were full of determination. That was the South Heaven Gate, but he hoped that his purpose there would not be just to defend against foreign enemies. He wanted to find a home for the soldiers who followed him.

"Yes!" Zhang Shanwu heard it and responded loudly.

Lin Tianchen looked at the warriors, his eyes firmer, and spoke again:

"Also, contact Dark Wolf and ask her to gather some intelligence and maps about the South Heaven Gate. Also, have Dark Tiger pass on the information about Ice City to me..."

Lin Tianchen whispered in Zhang Danwu's ear.

When the voice came out, Zhang Danwu straightened up and nodded.

For this southern expedition, since it has been decided that the first battle will be at Nan Tianmen, he must first understand the situation there.

However, fighting in the rainforest, with its insects, mosquitoes, malaria, terrain, humidity and heat, etc., is a big test for the soldiers.

The most important thing Lin Tianchen needs to do is to make adequate preparations.

Before the southern expedition, he also had one thing to deal with.

"The entire army will rest for three days and drive the Japanese out of Northeast China completely!"

"Yes!"
