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

On the winter solstice, the wind and snow are blowing.

The cold winter in the north made many southern soldiers feel uncomfortable.

But the falling snow brought smiles to the faces of the southern soldiers. For them, this kind of falling snow was something they only heard of.

In a village dozens of miles away from Heiyun Village, when the team appeared at the entrance of the village in a mighty manner, Lin Tianchen saw through the visual map that many white dots were all entering the houses at this time.

Even some white spots began to flee the village and head towards the mountains when they approached, moving very quickly and appearing very panicked.

This made Lin Tianchen frown. In the current situation, the Japanese encirclement was shrinking, and the brutality of the Japanese had already spread. In many places, the slightest disturbance would cause the entire village to relocate.

But at the moment, he felt that something was not right, because only a small number of people left, and someone was seeing them off.

"Captain, something is wrong with this village."

Li Weiguo looked at the empty village entrance and his eyes suddenly became alert. Some traces in the fields in the village in front of him clearly showed that there were people living there.

But now, there is no one in sight.

"somebody is coming."

As soon as Li Weiguo finished speaking, Ding Jiaguo pointed at the three figures at the village entrance in front and said.

Lin Tianchen dismounted, and Wang Jiantang and others behind him immediately followed him. Some soldiers were even on guard with guns.

"Gentlemen, we really have no surplus food in our village."

"When the spring harvest comes next year, our village will voluntarily hand over the grain. We only hope that you will let us go. This winter is very cold. One of our people froze to death some time ago. Gentlemen, please be kind, please be kind."

A hunched man, supported by two people beside him, slowly came to Lin Tianchen and said respectfully.

He kept his head down while talking, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Old man, we are just passing by here. It's winter now, and we want to find a place to rest."

Upon hearing this, the old man raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Tianchen, and also glanced at some people behind him.

He had seen many soldiers, but the uniforms of the soldiers in front of him were very mixed, and some of the people holding weapons were even dressed like them.

The old man only needed to take a glance to understand that these were most likely a defeated army, and that the "rest" was just an excuse.

The other party was holding a weapon. The old man said respectfully, "I am the village chief. You can stay at the south bridge at the entrance of the village. There are a few empty houses and some yards there. I need you to make do with them."

Lin Tianchen nodded after hearing this, and then asked casually:

"Village chief, what's going on with this grain payment?"

"The lords of Black Cloud Village come here from time to time to collect food. Now there is no food left in the village, and we are unable to send tribute to Black Cloud Village. This winter, many people are expected to die."

The village chief spoke briefly, trying to be as tactful as possible. After all, he was still unclear about the purpose of Lin Tianchen and his group, nor did he know the other party's relationship with the Black Cloud Village. He did not dare to mention the Black Cloud Village too much.

With the support of two people beside him, he led Lin Tianchen and his group towards the south of the village.

Lin Tianchen saw and heard this, but did not ask many questions. He just followed behind with a group of people, his eyes thoughtful.

As night falls.

Under the leadership of the old village chief, they settled in several empty courtyards in the village.

After asking around, I found out that the village was called Fengpo Village, and was about ten miles away from Heiyun Village.

There were only three or four houses in the temporary residence of Lin Tianchen's team. The yard was cleared to provide a temporary place for hundreds of people to stay overnight.

The tents they seized also came in handy at this time.

Lin Tianchen also arranged people to exchange supplies with the villagers for some firewood. After lighting the bonfire, the soldiers would not be too cold when spending the night.

Outside the courtyard, Wang Jiantang, who had just changed his things, returned to the temporary combat command room in a rage.

"What a bunch of beasts!"

As soon as Wang Jiantang entered the room, he started cursing.

This made Ding Jiaguo and Li Weiguo on the side look at him immediately.

"Lao Wang, have you eaten explosives?"

Ding Jiaguo asked jokingly. Although Wang Jiantang was usually in charge of the logistical work, he had never seen Wang Jiantang look like this.

"The family whose firewood we just exchanged had their daughter kidnapped by bandits. The sixteen-year-old boy, who was full of vigor and energy, tried to save his sister but was shot dead. Now the whole house is completely devoid of life and life."

"I've inquired around, and there are still many cases of kidnapping and killing innocent people in the village!"

"And it's not just this village. This Black Cloud Village is notorious for being a bad place in the area! Not only do they rob people on the road, they also rob nearby villages from time to time. Anyone who disobeys them will be killed. Men are hung up for public display, and women are taken to the mountains... Even children as young as eight or nine years old..."

"A bunch of beasts!"

Wang Jiantang said indignantly, clenching his hands tightly. He had never thought that such a thing would happen in the rear that he had risked his life to protect on the battlefield.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Jiaguo and Li Weiguo's expressions changed instantly.

Ding Jiaguo, who had just been teasing Wang Jiantang, suddenly turned cold in his eyes: "Damn it! You have a gun in your hand, but instead of killing the devils, you actually do something worse than an animal, fighting among yourself!"

"Captain, I think we must occupy this Black Cloud Village."

Li Weiguo, standing by, echoed, "The actions of Black Cloud Village are no different from those of the Japanese. You saw the terrified expressions of the villagers and the village chief who hid when we first arrived here."

Lin Tianchen looked at the indignation of the crowd with a very solemn expression.

There are only a few reasons for becoming a bandit.

Either they are forced to do so, or they do it for a living...

There are also people like the ones in Heiyun Village, who are purely selfish and have no humanity. They are a scourge in any period.

Lin Tianchen nodded. He had no objection to this matter.

"It's a long journey. Arrange the guards and let the soldiers rest first. Xiao Shanzi and I will go explore first."

"Captain, I can't sleep. How about I go with you?"

"Someone has to keep an eye on this place."

After saying that, Lin Tianchen arranged the secret sentries, observed the visual map to confirm that it was safe, and asked Wang Jiantang, Li Weiguo and others to stay, and took the guards out of the village.
