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

On the road leading to Wanjia Town, 20 kilometers away.

There is no cover on the highway. The road is long and narrow, and there are still short stretches of flat land in many places, directly exposed on the mountainside.

The sky was gloomy and frosty in the morning.

The entire road was unusually quiet except for the whistling wind among the mountains.

On the mountainside, not long after Lin Tianchen entered to observe, Xiao Shanzi had already returned to the team.

"Captain, Captain Li and his men have already set off."

Lin Tianchen nodded, and then Fang Bailu came back quickly, speaking in a hurried tone.

"Captain, there are nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers. There is indeed a team of about forty ahead, searching along the border. We were afraid of being discovered, so we just observed from a distance."

As soon as Fang Bailu finished speaking, Wang Jiantang and the others who were waiting for instructions immediately focused their eyes on Lin Tianchen.

"It seems the devils are not stupid."

A smile appeared on Lin Tianchen's face. He knew in his heart that this ambush was half successful. If the Japanese did not send people to scout, they would probably be extremely defensive and might even fire artillery at the top of the mountain in advance to conduct a dangerous test.

Lin Tianchen chose this place because he wanted to take advantage of the Japanese's psychology and set up an ambush in the most likely place, so he needed the Japanese to explore the possible ambush locations.

If the Japanese were a fool and no Japanese soldiers came to the top of the mountain, Lin Tianchen would probably have to think twice about whether to take action in this ambush. After all, a random punch can kill a master.

But now, the opportunity is right in front of him, and Lin Tianchen will definitely not let it go.

"Pillar!"

"Captain, I'm here."

Zhuzi immediately bent over and trotted over from not far away.

"Thirty mortar shells. Don't save any of them this time. The size of the casualties in this battle will probably depend on how accurate your shooting is and how powerful your firepower is." Lin Tianchen said in a serious tone. As far as this battle was concerned, there were many possible outcomes. The best one was that Zhuzi would conduct an accurate inventory under his command.

The worst case scenario is naturally a stalemate. Even if they can win, they will probably suffer more than half of their casualties.

"Please rest assured, Captain. I will attack wherever you point."

Zhuzi's honest face suddenly became serious, and his shoulders felt heavy, but he also knew what he should do now.

Lin Tianchen nodded, took out a telescope and observed. Looking down from a high vantage point, he could clearly see a dozen three-wheeled motorcycles appearing on the road.

A dozen Japanese soldiers got off these three-wheeled motorcycles, and some of them began to scout along the road on foot.

A Japanese soldier on a three-wheeled motorcycle was staring at the surrounding hills with a telescope.

Xu Lan suddenly became nervous. She didn't expect the Japanese to be so cautious in combat.

It is obvious that the Japanese are in an absolute advantage in the current war situation in the country. Moreover, with a troop strength of 1,000, if there were no two regiments, I am afraid that few people would dare to ambush them.

And now this is almost twice their number of troops.

Xu Lan glanced at Wang Jiantang and the others. Their eyes now looked completely different from hers.

The other party's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and his hand holding the gun was clenched so tightly that it turned pale and even veins bulged.

It seemed that with just one word from Lin Tianchen, they would rush down with guns in hand, including Xiao Shanzi, Fang Bailu and others.

However, Xu Lan also had some doubts in her heart. At that time, in the reinforced regiment of the National Army, about 800 Japanese devils were almost defeated.

Is it really possible to launch an ambush when the Japanese are so alert?

"Lower your head..."

Lin Tianchen gave a low growl and gave instructions, but he was always paying attention to the map in his mind.

Watching the Japanese soldiers enter the mountain, carefully coordinating the exploration and eliminating possible dangers, Lin Tianchen's expression gradually became serious.

"All units, proceed to designated locations. Use the sound of artillery fire as a rallying cry and follow the plan! I will do my best to reduce your stress. When the battle begins, you will be able to seize the opportunity on your own."

Lin Tianchen gave an order, and several deep voices rang out instantly.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The voice was soft, but firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Wang Jiantang and his companions immediately returned to the hidden team and led the team into the designated location.

Xu Lan looked at the people who left, the worry in her eyes lingering, but she was also shocked.

She had never thought that there was a team in the country that faced more than twice the number of Japanese soldiers and actually directly issued an order to enter the position, and the soldiers entered the position one by one with excited faces.

"Can we win?" Xu Lan recognized the team's fighting spirit, but she was also worried about the fate of these soldiers.

After all, she felt that both the soldiers and the commanders here were elite, and losing them like this made her feel that it was not worth it. For the first time, she actually thought that when facing the Japanese, she could actually retreat temporarily and avoid the sharp edge.

However, there was no point for Xu Lan to worry anymore, because the order had already been issued. She didn't think her face was important enough to make the commander of this team change his decision directly.

Therefore, Xu Lan could only watch with concern as some trucks slowly appeared on the calm road.

"Captain, that flag looks like the cloth we use to cover our steamed buns." Xiao Shanzi pointed to a flag on the middle truck.

Lin Tianchen looked at the flag and the flag of the Sakata Regiment seized in Cangyun Ridge.

The flags on the trucks had exactly the same pattern.

Lin Tianchen actually had a plan for the role of the regiment flag, but he was currently too weak to connect with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. As for exchanging the regiment flag with Li Yunlong and the others, he had no idea what to do.

Lin Tianchen had never thought about this. The other party was so poor, what could he get in exchange?

But now seeing the flag of the Sakata League again, Lin Tianchen couldn't help but wonder if he could get more things in exchange for two identical flags.

The reason why he didn't change it before was because he only had a few hundred soldiers. Even if he went to ask for things, he probably wouldn't get much benefit. Even now, four or five hundred people are not many, but there is a real battalion commander.

As for the number of people, after winter comes, the population will develop further. Even if it does not exceed a thousand, it will at least be close to a thousand.

It's a relatively small regiment, so if we need it later, we can at least get a brigade, or maybe a division...

Therefore, Lin Tianchen had already considered the regimental flag and the command sword that he had seized before. He didn't take them out now simply because there were not many practical benefits that could be gained from them.

It’s just this flag... Lin Tianchen slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the flag fluttering in the wind, he seemed to be thinking about something.

However, for now, it is better to finish the first battle. Without any tanks in front of him, he will have a better chance of success.

There was a Japanese vanguard scout ahead, so the Japanese army was not advancing very fast, and they were about to enter the ambush point.

"Pillar."
