"Haven't you found the Japanese heavy artillery?”
Xue Lin walked out of the trench leading to the observation post in the frontline command center of the Northern Battlefront Army. He frowned and asked the staff officers beside him.
"Commander-in-chief, the artillery unit has calculated that there are three 105mm heavy artillery positions, and they are still calculating the distance.”a staff officer reported.
Xue Si stood behind the network officer and waited for the news. Seeing Xue Lin return, he walked up with a document and said,"Commander-in-chief, secret message from Ha City!"
"Ha City? Was it General Li Du or General Ma Shan?”Xue Lin thought of Zhou Hong Wen who had left yesterday. It seemed that he had contacted the National Salvation Army.
Xue Lin took the document and read it.
This telegram was personally sent by General Li Du. First, he praised Xue Lin's heroic feat of recapturing Spring City and its strategic significance. He fervently hoped that the two armies would cooperate to prevent the Japanese invaders from leaving Da Qian's territory!
Then, he asked about the situation of the Northern Battlefront Army and the Japanese pirates in the north. He said that if necessary, the 20,000 soldiers of the National Salvation Army could come to Spring City at any time to fight with the Northern Battlefront Army!
When General Li Du decided to go south to JiLin, he laughed out loud.
"General Li Du and the others understand this very well!”Xue Lin returned the telegram to Xue Si.
Zhen Chen raised his head from the map and asked,"General Li Du is preparing to go south to JiLin?”
Xue Lin nodded." Yes, that's right. Apart from leaving a regiment to guard Ha City, the three divisions of 20,000 people have all gone south."”
20,000 Northern Region Army veterans! Even Chen Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath. He looked at the map and pondered. There was no railway leading to Ha City in Ji Lin. Li Du led his army south, so he would definitely take the Nanman railway to reach Chun City first, and then turn to Ji Lin from Chun City!
Li Du had personally led the entire National Salvation Army to the south. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
The two armies joined forces! Common 1!
Xue Lin, who had suggested going south to JiLin, was also giving Li Du a choice. Should he go north to Qihar, or go south to JiLin, where the two armies would join forces and go together?
Now, it seemed that Li Du had chosen the bigger picture.
"Their vanguard will arrive at around 7 am tomorrow morning. The military supplies to support them are also stored at the North Station.”Xue Lin took off his gloves and took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table.
Zhen Chen said in a deep voice," After we join forces, we will have nearly 30,000 soldiers in our hands. However, our combat strength is uneven. The main reason is that our four light infantry regiments still need to be honed. Moreover, the front line can only accommodate 5,000 soldiers at most. It seems that we have to expand the defense line to the left and right.”
"We can deploy a regiment to strengthen the defense of Spring City. We can deploy a regiment to guard the West Station, a regiment to station at Quanyan Lake in the South Station, and another regiment to attack JiLin. Almost six to seven thousand soldiers were sent out.”Xue Lin picked up his pencil and circled the map of Spring City.
His Red Alert spies had successfully infiltrated the 2nd Division's headquarters, and they could obtain information on the movements of the pirates as soon as possible. There was no need to worry about the pirates taking a detour to attack Spring City from other places, but it was still a good idea to disperse their forces and take on the defense.
Zhen Chen also nodded,"In that case, the only problem left is the merger of the two armies."”
There were more than 20,000 soldiers in the National Salvation Army, all of whom were proud veterans. The key was how to make Xue Lin's Northern Battlefront Army the leader of the new force in the merger.
However, Xue Lin was not worried. When they arrived at Spring City and saw his strength, they would naturally understand the difference between them and the Northern Battlefront Army.
Xue Lin did not plan to merge with the Northern Battlefront Army immediately. He wanted to cooperate with the Northern Battlefront Army as allies. In the upcoming war against Japan, the Northern Battlefront Army would gradually gain the upper hand. With the benefits, food, weapons, and equipment, he was not afraid that the 20,000 soldiers would not be able to integrate into his Northern Battlefront Army.
"Report! Team 2, emergency call!" In the command center, the voice of the communications officer shocked everyone.
Xue Si quickly went forward to take the telegram and read it. Then, he said in surprise,"We found the Japanese heavy artillery position!”
Xue Lin clenched his fists tightly. Where is it?"
The high-ranking officers came to the map in the middle and watched Xue Si draw a few circles behind the Taojiatun Station with a pencil according to the telegram information.
"The Japanese heavy artillery units are scattered two kilometers behind the Taojiatun train station. The Second Field Artillery Regiment is divided into four artillery positions, with three 105mm cannons and one 155mm heavy artillery position! The temporary field artillery battalion of the Japanese pirates had split up into two artillery positions, one 155 cannon position and one 240mm heavy howitzer position!”
Following Xue Si's pencil drawing, everyone saw the marked circles behind the Taojiatun train station. There were a total of six artillery positions scattered in a radius of three kilometers, and they happened to be in four villages.
"The villagers?" Xue Lin pointed at the four villages.
Xue Si looked at the information, and the Eye King shrank. He said in a low voice,""There's no one else…"
Bang!
The teacup on the table was thrown to the ground recklessly, shattering into pieces and making a few crisp sounds.
"Commander-in-chief!" The atmosphere in the command center froze.
Xue Lin's eyes were red as he suppressed his anger. He took off his military cap and threw it on the map. His bald head, which had not yet grown hair, was so bright under the electric light.
"Order! The Independent Artillery Regiment bombarded the area!”
"Order! The bomber squadron took off! Bomb the Japanese heavy artillery!"
"Order! The fighter jet fleet took off! Escort the bomber squadron!"
"Understood!"
In the command center, the sound of electricity filled the air as everyone got busy.
