South of the colorful clouds, Tengzhong.

Amidst the undulating mountains, several figures were observing.

Light and darkness always stand on opposite sides.

It is the same in front of us, except that the lights belong to the Japanese and darkness is their current home.

"Eh..." Zhang Xinli clenched his fists and turned to the table where the map was.

"Chief Engineer, this is a telegram from the front line. The Second Regiment of the Third Brigade failed to break through the defense line and is now being repelled and in a standoff..." Staff Officer He Cheng introduced in a heavy tone.

"The Humen Army has reached Nantianmen..." Zhang Xinli clenched his fists, slammed the table hard, looked towards Tengzhong, and murmured:

"We wiped out over 80% of the 40,000 Japanese soldiers at Nantianmen, and as for us... we've been fighting Tengzhong for months with no progress! The heavy artillery we requested hasn't arrived yet?"

Zhang Xinli looked at the staff officer above and shook his head, his tone full of heaviness. As a fellow expeditionary force, he just felt ashamed after fighting till this point.

He led 30,000 troops, but failed to capture the Japanese in Tengzhong, and the supply from the rear was also delayed.

"Chief Engineer, the Japanese not only have the advantage of terrain, but most importantly, they have their airport here. Once their bombers take off, we have no way to stop them. John Country has never given us air superiority on the grounds of insufficient fighter planes." He Cheng's tone was full of indignation. John Country could obviously launch planes to bomb the Japanese airport, but was afraid of air combat and had not made any movement for a long time.

Anyone can fight the Japanese who have no air superiority. Even if it is a tank, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.

But there is really no way to deal with aerial bombing and fighter dives.

Every time they approached Tengzhong City and broke through the defensive positions, the Japanese aerial bombings and fighter plane dives never stopped.

The flames were about to cut off their offensive rhythm, which was the main reason why they were unable to attack for a long time.

"If only we had the strength of the Tiger Guards..." Zhang Xinli sighed softly. In his hand was a photo of the Tiger Guards leading the 21st Division to the top of Nantianmen.

But he knew that he did not have Lin Tianchen's military talent, nor did he have Lin Tianchen's courage to challenge the mountain city and prevent the foreigners from entering the country.

Because he cannot afford to make a decision that damages international friendship. It is wrong to compare the height of dead grass with towering ancient trees.

"Chief Engineer, do you think it's possible for the Tiger Guards to come to Tengzhong?" He Cheng looked at the newspaper in Zhang Xinli's hand, his eyes full of anticipation.

What he said was met with Zhang Xinli shaking his head.

"You and I should both know that the strategic center of the Tiger Guards should be Qianmu Mausoleum and Nantianmen... That's not right..."

Zhang Xinli suddenly thought of something, looked at the large map hanging on the wall, and began to survey the map.

"Qianmu Ling took over... this valley and mountain..."

Zhang Xinli realized that Lin Tianchen might not just want to take over the South Heavenly Gate. The location of Gushan was too special. Lin Tianchen had made such a big fuss and quickly took over the South Heavenly Gate. It was impossible for him to stop there.

He had studied Lin Tianchen's combat operations before, which meant that Lin Tianchen never lacked tactics and strategies. His strategies were strong, he used small means to win big, and he used tactics to nibble away at others' advantage, taking steady steps!

This battle of Nantianmen, the tactics of eroding Nantianmen and Qianmu Mausoleum...

Strategically...

"Lin Tianchen is going to fight Gu Shan!" Zhang Xinli's mind suddenly buzzed.

When the voice came out, the expressions of the surrounding staff and commanders changed instantly, and everyone gathered around the map subconsciously.

"If Gushan is captured, the Tiger Guards will... enter Burma!"

"Besides, that place is one that John Country has always valued. If Lin Tianchen takes it back, they will definitely fight for its ownership."

"Do you think the Tiger Guards are a mountain city?"

"That seems to be true... They're going to invade Myanmar!!"

"..."

An eager voice suddenly appeared in the command room. If Lin Tianchen continued to fight like this, this Gushan would become a battlefield on all sides!

Tiger Guards, Japanese, Westerners, Expeditionary Force...

"Chief Engineer...if a fight breaks out in Gushan, what should we do?" He Cheng said in a low voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire command room became unusually quiet.

Everyone understood what was going on, and their eyes fell on Zhang Xinli. Zhang Xinli naturally understood these brothers who had been through thick and thin with him.

"If a fight breaks out in Gushan, we must intensify our offensive in Tengzhong to tie up the troops here for Lin Tianchen." Zhang Xinli looked serious. He could actually do the same as he did in Shancheng, waiting for the enemy in Tengzhong to become chaotic or to come back for reinforcements before taking action.

But as a soldier, he had no way of letting the Huben Army fight alone. Their backbone was forged by Lin Tianchen in Guiyang Mountain.

If Gushan starts the fight, Tengzhong will have to fight even if they don't have the support of John Country. Now he understands that only when his fists are hard, those gentlemen in suits will look at him straight in the eye and show awe.

"We all say we were born at the wrong time, and we blame the heavens and the earth. We blame the incomplete transfer of power in the mountain city, and the lack of support from the Westerners. But every inch of the vast mountains and rivers is our responsibility. Even if we stand humbly in the mountains today, we will never hand over the warm houses and good beds in the city to the foreigners!"

"If the Tiger Guards start fighting in Gushan, even if we can't take back Tengzhong, we must hold on to the enemy!"

Zhang Xinli was very determined. If the Huben Army wanted to attack Gushan, they must capture the enemy in Tengzhong.

"Yes!"
