Chapter 713 Lin Tianchen doesn’t dare to fight on two fronts!!
Peace City.
A coastal city in southern China.
After being occupied and established as the capital by John Kingdom, and after the construction of industries, ports and other infrastructure, this place became the largest city in Diandi.
It is also the largest outflow area of land resources.
A large amount of supplies, raw materials, weapons...most of them flow from here to the international market and to the battlefields where the Japanese need them.
"How are the secret outposts throughout the central region and the cordons in the surrounding areas?"
In the command center in the city, Niu Tiankou was also sitting in the command room. He asked in a very serious tone, his eyes fixed on the map of the central region on the table.
Although setting up a command center here was ridiculed by the Navy Idiots, it was generally safe here, and now the Navy Idiots needed them to control resources.
But now Niu Tiankou no longer has the high spirits he had in Gushan, and is now only vigilant and rigorous.
"It has been arranged." Qiqi Muye paused slightly and spoke again:
"According to intelligence, the Tiger Guards are already advancing towards Xicheng."
Hearing the words "Hu Ben Army", many staff officers in the command center, including Niu Tiankou, became more serious.
Niu Tiankou did not rush to make a judgment, but watched vigilantly and remained silent.
At the command center, some staff officers thought about it and made suggestions.
"Sir, Lin Tianchen is full of tricks. I think there might be a trick. John's country is not as strong as the Tiger Guards. The Tiger Guards are gathering their main forces. This is most likely a false alarm."
"Yes, I think since Lin Tianchen wants to build up his power, they won't fight with the people of John Country. After all, they need to gain international support."
"I think so too. He might just be trying to negotiate control of resources."
For a time, many staff members of the command center were trying to judge the truth of this incident. He had already suffered enough from the Tiger Guards.
Originally, the command center had twice as many staff officers as here, but those who did not show up were all killed.
In the Battle of Gushan, less than 30,000 imperial soldiers survived.
Soldiers who had experienced fighting against the Tiger and Leopard Army had already suffered from war trauma. Many soldiers mentioned that the Tiger and Leopard Army had fear in their eyes and they had no desire to fight at all.
Therefore, he has always been extremely cautious about the intelligence of the Tiger Guards.
"Sir, I think Lin Tianchen will attack the John Kingdom." Qiqi Muye was silent for a moment and then spoke.
"Why?" Niu Tiankou also looked a little curious.
"Because he is Lin Tianchen! He dared to point guns at the people of John Country at Nantianmen, and he dared to face the troops of the Bear Country in the three northeastern provinces and drove them out at gunpoint. Lin Tianchen is a person of the utmost ethnic purity."
Qiqi Muye speculated and said, you know, since Lin Tianchen appeared in the public eye, he has never cooperated with Westerners, and they haven't even had any intersection!
Qiqi Muye's words made the Japanese soldiers who were originally on the same topic react immediately.
"Yes, we all forgot one thing, he is Lin Tianchen!"
"Lin Tianchen fought from south to north, and from north to south, without a single defeat. A commander with this kind of strategic thinking is very likely to do the opposite."
"Just like Gu Shan back then, after such a long standoff, Lin Tianchen managed to defeat Teng Zhong! He launched a surprise attack on the Wacheng Arsenal, and only then did he defeat Gu Shan."
"As long as Lin Tianchen mobilizes his troops, there is nothing he dare not fight!"
Many of the Japanese staff members at the headquarters reacted instantly. In the battles at Nantianmen, Qianmuling, and Gushan, they had witnessed Lin Tianchen's cunning, viciousness, and decisiveness...
They were treated like monkeys, and after several battles, they were suppressed everywhere, exhausted from running around and mobilizing, and had no chance to fight back at all.
They thought they were going to attack Gushan but it turned out to be the Wacheng Arsenal. A logistics force defeated their tens of thousands of defenders and they didn't even have a chance to bomb the arsenal!
On the battlefield, the two divisions' forced march completely refreshed their understanding of infantry.
Even the understanding of the remaining soldiers was refreshed during the retreat.
The battle of Gushan completely destroyed the confidence of everyone from the soldiers to the commanders.
"Lin Tianchen will attack John Country!"
Niu Tiankou also thought about it for a long time and felt that Lin Tianchen would most likely attack John Country.
Lin Tianchen would not allow some of the raw materials of the Wacheng Arsenal, which he had finally taken control of, to be controlled by Westerners.
"Sir, even if the Tiger Guards will attack John Country, then we..." Qiqi Muye's eyes lit up instantly.
"Instead of waiting here for Lin Tianchen's army to arrive, why not take the initiative and attack!"
Ushitaguchi glanced at the staff officers and did not hear any rejection.
"Everyone, remember this: if the Tiger Guards dare to go to war with the John Nation, there will be many mercenaries in the Tianzhu region, as well as troops supported by the John Nation, who will enter the Dian region. By then, Lin Tianchen will not be fighting on two fronts!"
"We can use this opportunity to head north and retake important areas like Guodi and Gula! This is an opportunity!"
Niu Tiankou had been holding his breath for a long time, feeling the humiliation of being defeated by the Huben Army. Now the Huben Army was facing a two-front war, which was a rare opportunity for them.
The other staff officers in the command center also understood it to some extent.
"I think we can go north."
"The Tiger Guards haven't established a firm foothold yet and won't engage in a two-front war!"
“Going north, this is indeed an opportunity.”
Hatred was revealed in the eyes of the staff officers at the command center, as this was a battle of revenge for them.
They also knew that after their pelvises were stable, Lin Tianchen would definitely cause trouble for them. Instead of doing that, it would be better to take the initiative and take advantage of Lin Tianchen's fear of fighting on two fronts and the gap in troop strength to see if they could regain the lost ground.
"Secretly gather all your forces and prepare to march north. We will take back what belongs to the Empire!"
Niu Tiankou also spoke in a firm tone. For the Huben Army, fighting on two fronts was like a single thread that would break directly.
