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

Three kilometers north of Nantianmen.

"Captain Karl, what if the Tiger Guards' fighting power is insufficient?"

On the road leading to Baocheng, in a jeep, Ham asked puzzledly.

The strength of the Japanese caused them to suffer a lot of losses. Many places in Burma were controlled by the Japanese. Although the Tiger and Leopard Army was known for its conquest of the north and south, they had also seen that the troops in the mountain city were ambitious.

It is still unknown how strong this Tiger Guard is.

"More than 100,000 people, even if they are cannon fodder, the pile of corpses there can keep the Japanese from fighting for a while and slow down their strength."

Carl's tone was somewhat relaxed, and this relaxation was brought by the Tiger Guards. Now the Japanese's strong offensive in Southeast Asia has made their control over this area increasingly weaker.

If we could mobilize the more than 100,000 Tiger Guard troops to fight the Japanese, even if they were cannon fodder, they would still be able to play a big role.

This is also the reason why Mountbatten sent him, his staff officer, in person.

Before Carl could finish his words, a burst of dense gunfire came from the South Gate of Heaven.

"Why are there gunshots?" Carl quickly lowered his head and hid in a corner of the jeep.

"It seems to be coming from the South Gate of Heaven." Ham on the side listened carefully and immediately pointed to the distance and said.

"Nantianmen?" Carl looked puzzled. You know, he had not yet issued the attack order to the Huben Army.

In order to mobilize the Tiger Guards, Mountbatten asked him to go to the Tiger Guards in person, and the transfer orders were still in his hands.

The sudden sound of gunfire at Nantianmen filled his eyes with confusion.

Could it be that the 21st Division received orders to attack Nantianmen?

Impossible...Karl immediately denied this guess and shook his head.

"Go to Nantianmen!!" Carl said without any hesitation.

As the distance got closer, the sound of gunfire and the flames became more and more dazzling as they bypassed the obstructing mountains!

In this gloomy weather, it is very unusual.

"Are they really attacking Nantianmen?" Carl, who was sitting in the jeep, got out immediately, bent his body and ran quickly towards a hill in the distance.

"Sir, this seems to be the Tiger Guards." Ham observed and spoke quickly.

I've seen the Tiger Guards uniform in the newspaper.

"But this progress..." Ham looked at the river that had been crossed and the battle between the Japanese and the Tiger Army, his eyes full of confusion.

The flames from the explosions in the Nantianmen Mountains blazed one after another, and the heavy firepower of the Tiger Guards' machine guns on the shore continued to fire at the Japanese positions.

Although they were attacking from low position, the Japanese soldiers at Nantianmen had basically no chance to fight back under the double suppression.

The flames were like fireworks, constantly popping up in the mountains.

The air was filled with smoke and flames.

"They actually crossed the Nu... River..." Carl said in a serious tone, holding a telescope in his hand.

The morale of the entire team is still very good, which shows that this strong crossing of the river did not result in too many casualties.

"Precise artillery fire, forming a wall of fire, the Tiger Guards are more than just a facade... Lin Tianchen is indeed a highly skilled tactician..."

Ham whispered on the side, observing with the telescope in his hand. What he didn't understand was that the Tiger Guards quickly transformed the offensive into a positional battle.

Ham then asked Carl beside him in confusion.

"Sir, we're crossing the river but not fighting. What's going on?" Ham calmed himself down. As a graduate of the John New Military Academy, he had participated in many battles against India, Burma and other countries.

As a staff officer with both theoretical and practical experience, he really didn't know why Lin Tianchen arranged for the troops to cross the river but then turned it into a positional battle.

Leaving an army of more than 20,000 people just hanging out in front of the enemy's position?

The disadvantage of attacking from a low position is natural. It can be said that if you don't attack upwards, you will be beaten.

"It's typical that he thought of speaking but didn't think of the follow-up. Lin Tianchen is not that talented, but it is true that the Tiger Guards have high tactical skills." Carl's eyes were burning. If he had such a tactically skilled army in his hands, he could completely control the situation on the battlefield.

Although they have crossed the river, they cannot defeat the tens of thousands of people in front of them. Because with the elimination of some firepower points, facing some solid places, the shelling of the Tiger Guards did not have much effect.

The soldiers who crossed the river were in an awkward position.

If they advanced, they would be shot and killed by the Japanese's firepower.

If they retreated, they would be shot to death on the river by the Japanese firepower.

Although the Japanese could not hit the Tiger Guards hiding behind the bunkers, if they casually distracted the fire line, the casualties of the Tiger Guards would increase.

"Can they conquer the north and south?" Carl remembered that the Tiger Guards were known as the strongest light infantry unit, and even had a reputation internationally as top commanders.

Carl showed a hint of sarcasm in his smile, because the Tiger Guards were worthy of their name, while Lin Tianchen was just a facade. When it came to training ability, he might recognize Lin Tianchen... but in his opinion, his command ability was full of loopholes.

Flag-worshipping slope.

The sound of artillery fire gradually became less frequent on the Jieqipo position.

Fang Zhiqiu's expression in the trench also became much more serious.

The river crossing that I had imagined countless times in my dreams was now right before my eyes.

Decisive and swift, even the Japanese soldiers had not yet reacted.

"The Tiger Guards successfully crossed the river..." Fang Zhiqiu roared, his voice echoing in the hearts of every soldier.

Once upon a time, the words "crossing the river" lingered in many of their dreams.

It is the sedimentation of history and the struggle of today.

The Qin cavalry stepped on the Chu River, Zhang Liao's eight hundred cavalrymen stepped on the river, and when Song Dynasty's Zong Ze was dying, his call to cross the river became a regret for countless people.

Now, on top of the South Tianmen Gate, Fang Zhiqiu saw the Nujiang River, which he had looked at countless times, being crossed by the Huben Army at this moment.

And he crossed the river with the force of thunder.

Thirty thousand brave warriors marched across the river and marched south to conquer Tianmen Mountain!

When the long-awaited and lingering fantasy appeared, Fang Zhiqiu could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Chief Commander, the 1st Tiger Guard Division has advanced deep into the river." Xu Sanwu pointed to the river bank in the distance. Under the cover of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, he quickly left the battlefield without any hesitation.

Xu Sanwu's raised hand was shaking. This battle was not as simple as crossing the river, nor was it about the Nan Tianmen in front of him. Instead, according to Lin Jun's plan, they had to completely annihilate the Japanese soldiers at the Nan Tianmen.

There is even a clear and far-reaching meaning in it, which is to keep the foreign devils out. Of course, this is just their preliminary speculation, but Lin Jun has done this in the Northeast.

The firelight seemed unusually dazzling in this dim sky!

"If the First Division succeeds... this Nantianmen will be like a trapped beast. After a period of siege, Nantianmen will definitely be taken..." Fang Zhiqiu clenched his fists. After all, everything was now being carried out according to strategy.

The fact that it went as smoothly as planned was enough to make his heart race.

It will also be a reward for the countless souls who sacrificed their lives on this river, and it will also bring the soldiers on the Nantianmen back home.

"The entire division must act according to the plan! No mistakes are allowed... Violators will be punished by military law." Fang Zhiqiu said with a firm attitude and a fierce look in his eyes.

The staff officer at the 21st Division Command nodded vigorously. The battle at Nantianmen had already begun, with the Huben Army leading the charge. They had already made a good start, so how could they possibly drag their feet?

"Let the Second Brigade set up firing points along the downstream of the Jiqi Slope, and the First Brigade set up defense points at the Huben Army's artillery positions." Fang Zhiqiu observed for a moment and spoke quickly, his tone full of determination.

Lin Tianchen is not like those officials who seek credit for a victory that is only for show.

After all, for a man who brought his entire army into this quagmire, comparing the temple's followers with Lin Tianchen was an insult to him.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, the people at the 21st Division Command Headquarters began to move.

Fang Zhiqiu held the telescope in his hand and murmured:

"The blood of the little devils will cover the entire Nantianmen! We will take revenge..."

Nantianmen.

At the headquarters, the sound of telegrams came one after another.

Since the headquarters took control of five divisions and various units, the number of telegraph operators, messengers, staff officers and other personnel in the headquarters increased dramatically.

Although there were more of them, there was no chaos. Instead, they were carrying out their respective tasks in an orderly manner, because during the war, a command system of the Tiger and Leopard Army had already been formed.

As the core of the entire command center, Lin Tianchen stood beside the map and watched, paying attention to every move on the visual map from time to time, and from time to time he would pick up the phone to send the coordinates of the bombardment to the pillars.

"Lin Jun, the special operations battalion called back and said they arrived at the designated location overnight..." Zhang Danwu's report.

Lin Tianchen immediately adjusted the visual map. In the visual map, the special operations battalion arrived at Qianmu Mausoleum, and his eyes turned cold.

They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The Third Division was fighting in a frontal position in order to draw the Japanese's attention to the South Gate.

"Commander, the First Division has safely crossed the river and is heading straight for Gushan. The Fourth and Fifth Divisions are about to reach the outskirts of Heshun Town and Lianhua Town. The Logistics Brigade radio station is still silent, advancing stealthily..."

Fang Bailu handed the summarized information to Lin Tianchen.

Lin Tianchen took the telegram and his eyes gradually became sharper.

At this moment, the staff, messengers, and even telegraph operators in the command room all focused their attention on Lin Tianchen.

Because they knew that the real attack on Nantianmen would come next.

"Fang Bailu! Zhang Shanwu!"

"exist!"

"Telegram to the 4th and 5th Divisions to attack the two towns. Zhang Danwu, order the 3rd Division to increase its strength to cover the 2nd Division's infiltration..." Lin Tianchen spoke in a serious tone, and every word he said was heard clearly by everyone in the command room.

"Yes!" Fang Bailu and Zhang Shanwu immediately straightened up.

Lin Tianchen gave the order and looked at the South Heaven Gate through the observation window.

As the First Division left the battlefield and headed straight for Gushan, the Second Division successfully penetrated the battlefield, and the battle of Nantianmen was truly launched.

........

.....

The sound of gunfire continued at Nantianmen, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Sir, why don't you continue the attack?" Ham's eyes were full of confusion.

Carl shook his head. He couldn't say he was disappointed. After all, the military quality of the Tiger Guards Brigade soldiers had already made him want to recruit them. The weaker Lin Tianchen's ability was, the better.

But suddenly, accompanied by a series of sharp sounds.

call out!call out!call out!

The shells streaked across the sky, bringing up brilliant fireworks, and he seemed to hear thunder from the sky!

"kill!"

"kill!"

Waves of shouts resounded throughout the entire Nantianmen!

The sound made Carl, who was standing high up, twitch his brows.

The firelight illuminated the surface of the river. The sounds of fighting shook the huge rocks on the riverside, and rocks from the cliff kept falling onto the surface of the river.

Filled with murderous intent, the figure charged forward at the moment the flare fell!

There were precise bombardments and huge explosions, and the sparks and flames brought by the shells landing on the fortress were intertwined.

Before the flames had even dissipated, facing the rolling stones, the Tiger Guards soldiers formed groups of nine, with threes covering each other, and quickly pushed forward, approaching a cave entrance and throwing in grenades!

After the explosion, a soldier carrying a flamethrower sprayed fire directly at the cave entrance. The flames instantly illuminated the entire dark night. The flames were like the breath of a giant dragon, devouring the cave entrance.

Wailing sounds continued to be heard from inside, but what was even faster was the clearing of the Tiger Guards, which was done extremely quickly.

"Sir...they...the Tiger Guards...are advancing at a good speed...use flamethrowers..." Ham said with a twitch of his mouth. The flamethrowers were developed by them, but now it seems that they are not as proficient in using them as the Tiger Guards.

Moreover, his proficiency in siege warfare made him, who had experienced the European battlefield, ashamed.

The artillery fire suppressed the explosion, and even a second faster or slower would not be acceptable.

If he was fast, he would be killed by his own people; if he was slow, he would be killed by the machine gun at the entrance of the cave.

This kind of coordination can only be achieved after countless times of infantry-artillery coordination!

"Is this the same unit?" Carl murmured.

It was like they were not a single team at all. The Tiger and Leopard Army's attack was an all-round coordinated effort that completely ignored the Japanese fortress.

Like a propulsive war machine.

"Artillery and infantry coordinated, with groups of nine taking out the fortress. The rear positions provided fire suppression. After the occupation, follow-up troops cleaned up and eliminated hidden dangers. There were many Japanese tunnels at the Nantian Gate, and the Tiger Guards blew them up directly... They were clearly aware of this..."

Carl was extremely sensitive to the battlefield, and it was precisely because of this sensitivity that he instantly realized the strength of the Tiger Guards. He clearly saw that a unit was infiltrating the Japanese positions!

It moves at a very fast speed, heading towards the depths.
