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

Myanmar.

The atmosphere at the headquarters seemed unusually depressing.

Since the battle broke out at Nantianmen, telegrams have never stopped ringing in the headquarters, with bad news coming one after another.

Niu Tiankou also had a heavy expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the map, as he was deducing the strategic deployment that Lin Tianchen might make next.

But after a long time, the heaviness on his face became more and more obvious. Just as he was thinking, Qiqi Muye walked in and said in a serious tone:

"Sir, the Nantian Gate has been completely lost... The Tiger Guards have already occupied it. The remnants of Takeuchi Ryogi have entered the primeval forest and there has been no news since."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the command room couldn't help but widen their eyes, and finally focused their gaze on Ushita Kouya.

At this moment, Niu Tiankou was also staring at the map and did not speak for a long time.

"Nantianmen was lost...Qianmuling was repelled..."

Niu Tiankou's voice was also very cold, and many Japanese soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to respond.

The Nantianmen fortifications, which the empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build, could not even hold out for a single day and now has become the enemy's real national gate.

This made Niu Tiankou furious, but what he was most worried about now was not Nantianmen, but Qianmuling and Gushan.

"Sir, Lin Tianchen has expanded his front line so widely in the first battle. Should we gather our forces and retake Qianmu Mausoleum..." Qiqi Muye on the side pointed at the map and said seriously.

Now the South Gate of Heaven has been taken by the Huben Army, and Qianmuling is the pathogen strain that entered the South Gate of Heaven.

If they take back Qianmu Mausoleum, they can keep up the pressure on Nantianmen in the future, and there will still be a chance to take back Nantianmen in the future.

Qiqi Muye's words made many of the surrounding little devils start to discuss and say:

“Sir, now that the Nantianmen is a foregone conclusion, we only need to recapture Qianmu Mausoleum, and most of the Tiger Guards will be unable to pass through the Nantianmen.”

"Also, the Tiger Guards are now part of the expeditionary force. They follow the orders of the Westerners. According to Western practices, they will definitely go to the South Heaven Gate and use the fortifications there to spy on Burma."

"Master Qiqi Muye is right. We just need to take back Qianmu Mausoleum and observe the movements of the Westerners and the Tiger Guards before making a decision."

"..."

For a moment, in the command room, many staff officers began to express their opinions on the next action.

Niu Tiankou's gaze was still fixed on Qianmuling and Gushan, his expression serious.

"Do you really think that Lin Tianchen, who expelled the Bear people from the northern border, would obey orders from Westerners? Remember, the expeditionary force is the expeditionary force, and the Tiger Guards are the Tiger Guards."

As soon as Ushida Kuchiya's words came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion and remained silent.

Although they knew that the expeditionary force was under the command of John Kingdom, and the cooperation between the two made it easy for them to fight.

"Also, Lin Tianchen's strategic vision will definitely not be limited to the South Heaven Gate!" Niu Tiankou also glanced at all the staff officers one by one.

His research on Lin Tianchen came not only from the Warning Book, but also from the battle at Nantianmen. He knew that this was definitely the empire's biggest enemy at the moment, no doubt about it.

Whether in the three northeastern provinces or in Southeast Asia, if Lin Tianchen is not eliminated, it will inevitably be a huge hidden danger to the empire. He and Miyamoto Shizuo, the author of the warning book, share the same view on this point.

Whether it was Qianmu Ling's 300 men forcibly seizing Qianmu Lin, or Nantianmen's almost crushing offensive, and now the appearance of the First Division of Gushan Tiger Guards, they all made him realize that Lin Tianchen's idea was not just to recapture Nantianmen.

In the battle in Southeast Asia, their real opponent was John Country. But after just one fight now, he put his focus on the Tiger Guards. The Tiger Guards were by no means like the Westerners who only fought in the morning and drank tea in the afternoon. They were real tigers.

"Sir, do you think the Tiger Guards' ultimate goal is Gushan? This place originally belonged to Westerners. They could enter India to the west and Burma to the south. If a fight breaks out here, the Westerners will surely get restless and join the fight."

Qiqi Muye on the side analyzed and said that after all, John Country has been eyeing this place for a long time.

If Lin Tianchen attacks Gushan, Westerners will definitely fight for sovereignty. After all, this is not only a major transportation route into Myanmar, but also one of the main roads connecting to India.

The main road into Myanmar...

Suddenly, Qiqi Muye instantly understood what Niu Tiankouye meant, looking at the three routes of Nantianmen, Qianmuling, and Gushan on the map.

"Lin Tianchen wants to control Gushan and enter Myanmar!"

"If Gushan is taken by the Huben Army, they can sit at the Nantianmen and continuously send troops into Gushan, enter the area north of Myanmar, and then take advantage of the situation to move south in Myanmar..." Qiqi Muye's face turned ugly.

Because after Gushan entered Myanmar, their troops were all scattered in various regions of Myanmar. If the Huben Army went south from the north, they could take so many routes that they would not be able to establish an effective defense. The Huben Army would be able to enter an empty territory!

The staff in the command room instantly realized Lin Tianchen's idea. Although this behavior was extremely risky, their opponent was Lin Tianchen, so the possibility was quite high.

"Sir, we must strategically contain Lin Tianchen in Gushan, and also gather troops in Myanmar to move north and east..." Qiqi Muye said in a heavy tone.

If Gushan is lost, it means that they have to be on guard against the appearance of the Tiger Guards anywhere in Myanmar. When their control is reduced, the oppressed indigenous people in Myanmar will inevitably rise up, so Gushan must not be lost.

"Inform the Taniyama defense forces to be on alert for ten miles. The Fujiwara Division, the Akiguchi Brigade, and other forces are to assemble at Taniyama. Also, have the Anghai family send someone to Taniyama to tell them that if the Tiger Guards enter Taniyama, there will be no place for their family in Burma..."

Niu Tiankou was also full of seriousness and began to make plans very solemnly.

The situation at Qianmu Mausoleum and Nantianmen is now settled, and sending troops there now would be like walking into a tiger's mouth.

What we need to ensure now is that the Tiger Guards are trapped at the border of Myanmar.

"Sir, if the Tiger Guards were not attacking Gushan, wouldn't our large-scale mobilization be..." Qiqi Muye said with some concern.

This time, even the forces they supported in Myanmar were mobilized. It can be said that this is a large-scale strategic mobilization that will change the focus of their defense.

"You must remember that when fighting Lin Tianchen, you must never let him attack first. Moreover, if we allow the Tiger Guards to take Gushan, we will lose control of the entire northern Burma area, and the natives will rise up in rebellion!"

Niu Tiankou didn't dare to gamble, because if Gushan was lost, the impact would be too great.

If they waited for the Huben Army to start fighting first, they would be completely trapped in the Huben Army's rhythm, just like Nantianmen and Qianmu Mausoleum, and would be one step behind Lin Tianchen strategically.

The most important thing is that if Gushan is lost, Lashio, Dongsang and other places south of Myanmar will be exposed to the radiation range of the Tiger Guards. At that time, it will not be as simple as losing Gushan.

That would make it possible that half or even more of Myanmar would be attacked by the Tiger and Leopard Army. The local natives would certainly take this opportunity to show up in various places. If he couldn't deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army and there was internal strife, he didn't believe he could defeat the Tiger and Leopard Army controlled by Lin Tianchen.

.......

...

Nantianmen.

Tiger and Leopard Army Headquarters.

"The export has been established..."

Lin Tianchen observed the visual map. Although there were still some remnants of the Japanese devils, they were basically scattered and did not pose any threat.

"Next is Gushan and Tengzhong..." Lin Tianchen murmured softly, and the Third Division cooperated with the 21st Division of the Expeditionary Force to stay behind to clean up.

The internal space is complex. The main peak has been hollowed out, and there are tunnels, bunkers, underground passages, and storage rooms... Lin Tianchen didn't want to go in to clean up, but blocked all the entrances and exits. The supplies inside will eventually run out, and with the constant smoking, the living environment inside will become worse and worse.

He also had to admit that the Japanese's military quality and fighting spirit were world-class.

There is no need to confront the Japanese head-on underground.

Lin Tianchen was examining the South Heavenly Gate when Fang Bailu appeared hurriedly.

"Commander, telegrams have come from the Logistics Corps and the First Division."

"The Japanese have increased their vigilance around Gushan. Some troops have gone there to increase the garrison and encountered several waves of enemies along the way. The logistics regiment has arrived in Tengzhong, and the expeditionary force is attacking... and they are asking us if the time is ripe." Fang Bailu spoke quickly and accurately.

Lin Tianchen looked at the locations of Gu Shan and Teng Zhong on the map.

"Be more alert..." Lin Tianchen held his chin thoughtfully.

Raising the alert also means that the Japanese commander is likely to guess their strategic intention of attacking Burma.

However, if the South Heavenly Gate is taken, with the Second Division at Qianmuling and the Third Division at the South Heavenly Gate providing support, the foundation will be secure.

The initial strategic goal was achieved. Now his idea was to clear out the Japanese in the Tengzhong area in the northeast of Nantianmen to prevent them from moving south and being attacked from both sides. At the same time, it would also be a way to get rid of the last part of the enemy in the country.

"Fang Bailu." Lin Tianchen collected his thoughts and spoke seriously.

"exist!"

"Send a telegram to the 4th and 5th Divisions, telling them to march at night to Tengzhong and have the Logistics Brigade provide support. Also send a telegram to the 1st Division, instructing them to feign an attack on Gushan to draw out surrounding forces."

Lin Tianchen spoke quickly.

"Yes!!"
