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

Yangcun, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

"Comrade, headquarters has approved this matter. Go back and tell your regimental commander."

"Okay." Xiao Shanzi didn't hesitate and picked up the steamed bun that was a little hard to swallow next to him.

"You twit, you're eating and taking things at the same time." Li Yunlong was originally trying to hold back the other party's thoughts and wanted to replace him, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he could no longer control his curses.

"Captain Li, it's something to fill my stomach after all. It's not shabby at all. I will definitely tell you about your kindness when I get back." Xiao Shanzi smiled and put the three steamed buns he had in the evening into his arms.

"Get lost."

Li Yunlong did not ask about Zhuzi's situation. After all, he knew it would be useless to tell him.

If the knife had not been put on Lin Tianchen's neck, Zhuzi probably wouldn't have been able to come back, but he had to slowly find the opportunity to put the knife on the neck.

Xu Lan, who was standing by, paused when she learned that Xiao Shanzi was going back. After a moment's thought, she walked over to Li Yunlong and said, "Captain, I'll go with him. You see, I can read and act as a messenger. Besides, I've come all the way to northwest Shanxi on foot, so I'm already familiar with the area around here. I can come back and report important matters."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong looked at Xu Lan. He had been on guard against Xu Lan before, but after observing her for a while, although he knew that Xu Lan was hiding something, he ruled out the suspicion of Die.

When he heard Xu Lan's suggestion, his expression changed slightly. After thinking for a moment, he pulled Xu Lan aside and whispered, "If you go there, remember to help me find someone!"

"His name is Yu Chengzhu! He's an artilleryman. If you see him, tell him it's my order to return to the regiment immediately."

"He was detained there, with poor food and clothing, and he missed us terribly. We were all very worried about him!"

After Xu Lan received the reply that she could go, she nodded heavily and said, "Yes! Captain Li, don't worry, I will definitely bring the person back."

......

In late autumn, snow is already flying all over the sky in the north.

The earth is already covered with snow.

In the dense forest, on the rugged mountain road, a thin figure was holding a machete in his hand and splitting the thorns in front of him.

Behind him, Xu Lan was following with difficulty.

"Wang Shan...hasn't arrived yet?"

Xu Lan said breathlessly.

She was not pretentious. She had come from Pudong to northwest Shanxi, and had walked through many mountain roads, waterways, and even swamps along the way. However, the road led by Xiaoshanzi was not so much a road as it was that Xiaoshanzi had directly opened up a path.

Shuttled through dense bushes and waded through thick snow, which was really too much for Xu Lan, but the other party walked on flat ground as if it were flat ground.

"almost."

Xiao Shanzi took out a map and started looking at it.

"I didn't expect you could read maps." Xu Lan said in surprise.

Most of the people like Xiaoshanzi, who were around fourteen years old, joined the army just to fill their stomachs, and almost all of them were illiterate.

"The leader taught me."

"Did the captain teach you?"

"Yes, the captain taught me. He also drew this map."

After saying that, Xu Lan moved over curiously and looked at the map in Xiao Shanzi's hand.

On the map, contour lines, rivers, lakes, villages, etc. are all marked one by one, and place names are written in many places.

Xu Lan stared at the handwriting on the map in shock. Not only was the font neat, but the writing was as soft and fresh as a spring breeze.

This should be the most professional military map she has ever seen. She originally thought that the Captain Lin mentioned by everyone should be a rough man like Captain Li of the Independent Regiment, who kept asking about the ancestors of the damn Captain Lin and detaining people at every turn.

But judging from the handwriting, it is obvious that this person is not the same as Li Yunlong.

"Hurry up and catch up. When the captain and I were scouting, we basically took this route."

Xiao Shanzi chopped down with the machete in his hand, pushing away the thorns in front of him.

A road appeared at his feet.

Xu Lan, who was behind him, was shocked when he heard this.

"The captain is going on reconnaissance with you?"

Xu Lan was stunned. She had been in the National Army for a period of time, and she also knew that in the regiment headquarters, reconnaissance tasks were usually completed by scouts.

However, at that time, because of her identity as a reporter, she was treated like a star by many during her time in the National Army, and no substantive reports came out.

They said every day that they wanted to fight against the Japanese and attack the Japs, but the troops were never mobilized.

So when she came to northwest Shanxi, she deliberately concealed her identity as a reporter.

"Well, the captain said that we are very vulnerable right now. He doesn't trust others to scout, so he basically does the reconnaissance and then sends others to keep watch."

"Our team leader knows a lot. Sometimes I don't even know about the wild fruits in the mountains, but the team leader knows."

"When we encounter some Japanese soldiers, the regimental commander can tell at a glance whether they are infantrymen, machine gunners, or mortar soldiers."

"During the battle, the regimental commander could walk the Japanese like dogs, forcing them into an ambush circle, even if they had to be on guard..."

When Xiao Shanzi talked about Lin Tianchen, it was as if he had opened a chatterbox. He walked in front to lead the way while talking incessantly.

Xu Lan, who was a few steps behind, moved forward with difficulty, concentrating her attention and listening carefully to Wang Shan's words, which was completely different from the way she boasted to him when she was in the National Army.

From the tone of his words, Xu Lan could feel Xiao Shanzi's heartfelt admiration and respect.

There were many things to talk about, from small daily matters to big things like reconnaissance and fighting the Japanese.

When mentioning Captain Lin, this thin and small boy always had a smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be filled with fire.

What kind of charm could make a young boy admire him so much...Xu Lan couldn't help but wonder in her heart. She was really curious about this Captain Lin.

Whether it was the young man's admiration, Li Yunlong's cooperation despite his curses, or the gratitude of the independent regiment's soldiers towards this small force.
