In late winter, the wind and snow still blow in the north.

"Monk Wei, look! The captain and the others are back."

At a sentry post in Heiyun Village, Liu Sangun put his hands in his sleeves and held his gun between his arms, walking back and forth. The cotton coat issued by Heiyun Village was very warm.

When Liu Sangun looked at the figures in the distance, he saw Captain Lin returning with about a hundred people.

"This time we carried a lot of food, as well as guns and Type 38 rifles... The commander and his men intercepted the enemy again."

Liu Sangun looked at some soldiers entering the village below, some of them carrying sacks on their backs, and some of them carrying several guns. He knew that these people were going to rob again.

It was just that the people being robbed were the Japanese. Just like when they were in the prisoner-of-war camp, the sudden arrival of this group of people was like a divine army descending from the sky.

Liu Sangun actually wanted to go out with them, but it was not their turn yet. Half of the people going out were veterans and half were new recruits.

It was obvious that this was to train the new recruits, and there were gains every time, which really surprised Liu Sangun. In this cold winter, the Japanese devils would not come out, and he knew very well how strong the Japanese devils were.

Monk Wei pursed his lips and only watched the returning soldiers below. New recruits and old soldiers were mixed together, wearing various clothes and carrying various weapons.

"When you were at the mine, didn't you hear that the best fighter against the Japanese in this area was Li Yunlong? If you really want to fight the Japanese, you can come with me to find them."

Monk Wei stood in this secret sentry post. After spending the past few days together, although he could see that Liu Sangun was not a martial artist, he found that although Liu Sangun looked like a ruffian, he was actually a good candidate to be a soldier.

He never slacked off even when standing guard for a whole day. He was always the first to spot Captain Lin's team as soon as they appeared in his sight.

"No, I just feel that these people in Black Cloud Village are quite powerful."

"That Captain Ding taught us bayonet fighting and rifle shooting. It's all based on experience. And after we arrived, Captain Lin and his men went out frequently, and every time they went out, they gained something, including the enemy's equipment and food."

"That's why I follow him."

Liu Sangun said in a scoundrel voice, his eyes always looking at the soldiers coming in from below, with a hint of hope in his eyes: "It would be great if we could rob the enemy with the captain."

At the foot of Heiyun Village, Lin Tianchen's team of about a hundred people slowly returned to the village.

The moment the village gate opened, Ding Jiaguo immediately came over.

"Captain, how is it? Have these new recruits met the requirements?"

During this period, Lin Tianchen would always conduct reconnaissance first, and then go out with half veterans and half new recruits trained by Ding Jiaguo.

"The execution is almost up to par. Let them practice with the latest batch of rescued prisoners for a few days. You and Wang Jiantang will come to Juyi Hall later."

As Lin Tianchen spoke, he walked towards the village.

With Lin Tianchen's return, the entire village became busy again. Some logistics soldiers began to move the spoils that Lin Tianchen and his team brought back this time.

In the Juyi Hall, Lin Tianchen naturally spread out a map, and Xiao Shanzi immediately took a pen and handed it to Lin Tianchen.

At this moment, Lin Tianchen took out a small map from his arms, and while looking at the small map, he began to draw some punctuation marks on the large map on the table.

But as the number of punctuation marks increased, Lin Tianchen's expression became more serious, and Li Weiguo, who was watching these punctuation marks from the side, had the same expression.

At this moment, Wang Jiantang and others also walked in.

"Captain."

"Captain."

"Come and take a look."

When Lin Tianchen saw Wang Jiantang and Ding Jiaguo coming over, he gestured to them to look at the map.

"These red dots mark the Japanese's bases. The Japanese often appear on these roads, and their activities in this area are becoming more frequent." Lin Tianchen explained to several people.

This time they went out fifty kilometers away and intercepted a Japanese transport team.

The escort force was actually not weak. It took some effort to wipe out more than 200 transported Japanese soldiers. However, they had been cleaning the battlefield for less than 20 minutes when they encountered another group of Japanese soldiers.

Originally, there were very few Japanese devils here, but now a logistics line has been formed for the Japanese devils, and this transportation intensity is maintained even in winter.

"It's only winter now, and these devils are blatantly transporting things in this area. I think they will make a big move in the spring."

Lin Tianchen pointed at several red dots on the map and spoke in a serious tone.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Jiantang and Ding Jiaguo stared at the dense red dots on the map, and they instantly understood what Lin Tianchen meant.

"Captain, if you have any plans, just tell us and we'll do it!"

Ding Jiaguo said this in a firm tone, and Wang Jiantang beside him nodded.

Having fought so many battles with Lin Tianchen and experienced life and death for so long, they have absolute faith in Lin Tianchen.

Lin Tianchen looked at the map with his clear eyes, holding his chin with his hand, and thought for a long time.

Regarding this problem, he had already thought of corresponding countermeasures when he was out on reconnaissance with Xiaoshanzi.

Although the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, it takes time to accomplish something.

He would not make useless sacrifices, and similarly, he would not allow the Japanese to continue like this. It was impossible for him to just sit and wait for the Japanese to complete their encirclement.

While Lin Tianchen was thinking, the entire Juyi Hall was very quiet. Wang Jiantang and others were waiting for Lin Tianchen's arrangements, and no one took the initiative to disturb him.

"Wang Jiantang, how are the personnel and equipment now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiantang immediately saluted and spoke seriously.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, the current number of personnel in the regiment is 1263. There are still 126 people who have not yet been recruited and need training."

"The first battalion has 312 people, the second battalion has 297 people, the third battalion has 340 people, and some veterans have been transferred to the mortar platoon with 23 people, the fire support platoon... logistics..."

"We previously replenished the equipment of two battalions. Currently, we have over 1,900 guns, 11 mortars, 52mm rounds... Type 99 rifles..."

Wang Jiantang's voice was heard over and over again, and the voice entered everyone's ears. At this moment, they were no longer the dozen or so people in the cave, holding rusty Hanyang-made guns and wearing straw sandals, ready to fight to the death.

It was not in Lijia Village that the defeated army fled and Ding Jiaguo hid in Lijia Village.

He is no longer the Li Weiguo who huddled in the mountains with his people and pretended to be defeated every time.

However, as they progressed step by step to where they are today with all the equipment and numbers, it felt like a dream.

Today, they are a team of more than a thousand people.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianchen stared at the map in front of him.

"Black Cloud Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but I still want to take the initiative... to seize the initiative. The Japanese probably don't know we're stationed in Black Cloud Village yet. If we enter their sight, I'm afraid they'll come to encircle us. Therefore, we need to disrupt the deployment of this large area to ensure the safety of our rear."

Lin Tianchen paused for a moment and spoke in a serious tone.

The Japanese were tightening their siege. If they knew that he had led the team to destroy the Sakata Regiment, they would surely come with heavy firepower to encircle and suppress the Black Cloud Village.

However, he was not afraid of being found out by the Japanese. After all, as the number of troops grew, it was only a matter of time before they knew of his existence.

The dissemination of newspapers seems to have disadvantages, but in Lin Tianchen's opinion, the benefits are real, because many of the soldiers he recruited came because of his reputation.

In the current situation, Lin Tianchen’s main consideration is to take the initiative to attack, disrupt the encirclement, fight in the chaos, and seize the opportunity.

"Wang Jiantang, you are responsible for sending out a few scouts to investigate the nearby enemy strongholds and compile statistics on their stationed forces, their troop sources, and their routes of movement."

"Yes!"

Wang Jiantang straightened up and spoke in a firm tone.

"Li Weiguo, Black Cloud Village will be pushed out another fifteen miles from the original sentry post. Find a few fast-footed soldiers at the outer sentry post and keep a close watch... I need their deployment information."

"Ding Jiaguo, when training the new recruits, select some soldiers with special skills and inform me. The training of the three battalions will also be handed over to you. Increase the training of rapid maneuvers."

Lin Tianchen's orders came down one after another, and the three of them immediately saluted when they heard them.

At this moment, after saying these words, Lin Tianchen's gaze lingered on several marked Japanese bases on the map... Although winter has arrived, it is not advisable to start a war.

But the Spring Festival is approaching, and after the Spring Festival, he must take action. Now he has food, and guns and ammunition are also very sufficient. What he wants is to target a battalion or a regiment and wipe them out completely.

By then, you can gain a lot of experience.

Now that there are more than a thousand people, Lin Tianchen is even more confident.
