Super Dictator
Chapter 138: A life-threatening morale boost
"Hurry, hurry, if you fall behind, I will kill you." In the Fengjun under Nie Guilin's command, a sentry officer loudly urged the soldiers to start.
"Li Shao, where are we going?" One of his confidants asked, breathing heavily while marching quickly.
Fortunately, although it was late at night, the snow had not yet melted, and there were cavalrymen lighting torches every few meters, so it was not surprising that they could not see the road clearly.
"How do I know where to go? There is a death order from above. If anyone falls behind, he will be shot immediately." The sentry named Li said angrily.
Needless to say, ordinary soldiers couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Although the sentry surnamed Li knew that the general direction was towards Ximu City, he didn't think that his commander would be so hot-headed that he led himself and others to die.
I guess I have to turn back at that intersection and then escape to the rear. I heard that the Japanese are almost reaching Yijun's defensive position.
Not only in the Feng army, but also in Jiang Xiyi's Xizi army and Xu Bangdao's guard army, similar scenes were taking place. As countless soldiers hurried on, a big question arose in their hearts. Who are we? Where to go?
Could it be that they were about to retreat? Most of the sergeants thought so. After all, they were used to retreating, but this time the situation was special. They had fought with the Japanese several times before retreating, but this time they didn't even fight. It's time to retreat.
Could it be that the friendly forces stationed at Xujia Yuanzi have been defeated by the Japanese, so we escaped in a hurry.
No matter what the soldiers thought, Wei Jichen sent messengers to keep in touch with the commanders of the armies along the way, communicate with each other, and keep abreast of the progress of the armies.
"Report, the Greek army is about one kilometer away from our army. General Jiang promises to arrive at the designated location before dawn."
"Let Jiang Xiyi work harder. I want him to maintain this speed and not be more than one kilometer away from our army." Wei Jichen immediately frowned and said.
Before dawn, damn, I said you can’t arrive before dawn at the latest, so you just picked that spot.
"Yes, Wei Shuai!"
The messenger came down in a hurry.
Before one wave of messengers left, another wave came forward to report.
"Report, General Xu is not far from our army."
"Oh, this old Xu is quite fast. Let him take it easy and don't rush. Otherwise, when the sergeant reaches the designated position, he will be so tired that he still has the strength to kill the Japanese?" Wei Jichen said seriously.
Wang Huaiqing next to him was speechless and looked at Wei Jichen with a confused expression, wondering why Wei Jichen issued two completely different orders.
Wei Jichen seemed to understand what he was thinking, and also intended to cultivate him, explaining briefly: "Jiang Xiyi has a slow temper, and Xu Bangdao has a quick temper. We cannot generalize to different people. Xu Bangdao will do his best even if you don't rush him. "Move forward, Jiang Xiyi, if you don't rush him, he will walk slowly if he thinks the matter is not urgent."
"Best regards, sir!" Wang Huaiqing gave a thumbs up and then asked: "What about Nie Guilin?"
"Although Nie Guilin is a little timid and fearful of getting into trouble, it is precisely because he does not dare to disobey any of my military orders and is extremely afraid of me because he knows my temper. If anyone dares to disobey military orders, I will show no mercy and will be timid and fearful of getting into trouble." He will only fulfill my orders word for word," Wei Jichen said with a noncommittal smile.
Wang Huaiqing marveled: "Shuai Wei's analysis of human nature is an eye-opener for his subordinates."
"Okay, let's save those flattering words of yours for later." Wei Jichen saw that Wang Huaiqing wanted to say more, so he couldn't help but glance at him lightly and said impatiently.
Wang Huaiqing touched his forehead nonchalantly and thought in his heart: Wei Shuai even knows my character clearly, life will be difficult in the future.
"Report!" A messenger came back from the front.
Wei Jichen estimated that Huzi's army from the front camp had already caught up with the sergeant Ma Jinxu came to greet them.
As Wei Jichen expected, the messenger galloped to Wei Jichen's side, pulled the reins, and reported loudly: "For the information to Commander Wei, General Ma has sent someone to pick up our army."
Wei Jichen nodded and shouted to the sergeants around him: "Brothers, work harder. The destination is not far ahead. When we get there, brothers can take a breather."
When the soldiers in the middle camp heard Wei Jichen's shouts, they all became energetic and consciously quickened their pace.
When there were still two hours before dawn, the artillery battalion of Wei Zijun, led by Wang Shizhen, arrived at the designated position.
Wei Jichen had sent people to clearly survey the terrain around Xujia Yuanzi a few days ago. Wang Shizhen's artillery camp had also chosen a location early and set it up on the mountain peak to the left of the entrance to the valley.
Wei Jichen arranged a pocket formation, with Xu Bangdao's guard at the bottom to prevent the Japanese from escaping forward.
On the high mountains on both sides of the valley were deployed Nie Guilin's Fengjun and Jiang Xiyi's Xizi troops, who were not very effective in combat. They only needed to shoot the Japanese from a high position.
And it was Wei Zijun who tightened his pockets.
After most of the Japanese enter the encirclement, the artillery battalion will bomb first to cut off the Japanese's retreat. At the same time, the Wei Zijun ambushing at the entrance of the valley will quickly gather in from both sides, firmly surrounding the 3rd Division in one fell swoop. Within the encirclement, the 3rd Division was prevented from retreating.
The Gongwei Army, Fengjun, and Xizi Army arrived one after another. Nie Guilin and others arranged an ambush according to the pre-designated positions.
It was only then that the sergeants of each army discovered that the five armies had gathered here unknowingly. The clever sergeants immediately realized that the Japanese must be ambushing the Japanese here.
They just let their imaginations run wild, but they never imagined that anyone would have such great prestige that all military commanders would obey orders and not dare to neglect at all.
The sergeants were all crouching in the snow on both sides of the valley. Although they were shivering from the cold, no one dared to say anything, because the death order had just been sent from above. If anyone dropped his chain at this critical moment, it would be a trivial matter for him to die. , even the family will be affected.
^.^,
In addition to strict orders, officers at all levels also passed on news that a total of 10,000 troops had set up a trap and ambushed here this time, preparing to annihilate the Japanese 3rd Division in one fell swoop. This was actually the biggest act since the war began. As long as the soldiers could endure for a while, After winning, getting promoted and making a fortune is a matter of course.
When the sergeant heard this, he was all surprised and a little excited.
After Wei Jichen arranged his military affairs in an orderly manner, he rode on his horse, led his troops, and began to inspect the various armies.
Wei Jichen spent a lot of money this time to prepare more than a dozen Baihua Jade Dew Pills, preparing to use his military skills to boost morale during the battle.
Wei Jichen made a rough calculation and found that using the Military Advisor Skill Level 2 to boost morale required 6 points of mental energy. The upper limit of the number of people was 1,200. To increase morale by 10 points, the combined number of the five armies now totaled 12,000. If there are multiple people, he will lose at least 60 points of mental power.
More importantly, this effect lasted only half an hour. Even if the ambush battle was solved quickly, it would not be possible in just half an hour, so he could only use it continuously to boost morale.
Let the five armies maintain high fighting spirit at all times.
After entering the system, Wei Jichen found that in the Army section of his army system, there were not only Wei Zijun, but also Renzi Army, Xizi Army, Gongwei Army, and Fengjun.
These armies are now temporarily under his control, and the system recognizes them as belonging to his army. In other words, after the battle, the sergeants of the Five Route Army will continuously provide him with merit points.
Among these five armies, it goes without saying that Wei Zijun has the highest morale at 90. He hardly needs to use his military skills to boost morale.
Nie Guilin's army has the lowest morale, only 51 points. Morale is a mysterious thing. Wei Jichen made a rough guess after trying for so long. If the morale is lower than 50 points, it means that this army is not good. It will collapse as long as it suffers a slight setback. .
Between 50 and 70 points, you can fight a smooth battle, and if it is above 70, you can fight hard. When you reach 90, it goes without saying that every sergeant will move forward without fear of death.
Wei Jichen estimated that when the sergeants in each army learned that he was not dead and was commanding them to ambush the Japanese, their morale would automatically improve. As for the specific amount, it would depend on Wei Jichen's status in the minds of the sergeants.
Wei Jichen immediately stopped wasting time and thought that he should quickly spread the news that he was alive. When the battle began, he frantically activated his military skills to raise the morale of each army to above eighty.
Starting from the peak on the left, Nie Guilin's Fengjun was ambushing them. When Wei Jichen arrived at the Fengjun position, the sergeants were already in their positions and lurking everywhere.
When Nie Guilin learned that Wei Jichen had arrived, he hurriedly led several staff officers to greet him.
"Commander Wei, this place is indeed an excellent ambush terrain. As long as the Japanese dare to come in, they will suffer heavy losses." Nie Guilin said with a bright smile on his face.
Wei Jichen knew that what he had in mind was nothing more than promotion and wealth after victory.
Fortunately, although both parties have what they need, their goals are the same.
"Let's go and check on the sergeant." Wei Jichen said directly without bothering to talk.
Nie Guilin had no choice but to ignore the severe cold and follow Wei Jichen to visit those Kuhaha.
No wonder Feng Jun's morale was low. Seeing Nie Guilin's reluctant look, Wei Jichen could think of how he treated the sergeants. If you don't treat the sergeants as human beings, others will certainly not sacrifice their lives for you.
In the mountain forest about 500 meters away from the valley, countless sergeants were trembling on the ground. They did not dare to make a sound because Nie Guilin set up a supervisory army behind them. If anyone ruins his dream of promotion and wealth, you will die here. In the hands of the enemy, he will die in my hands.
To intimidate soldiers with force is the lowest method of army control. A wise general will make his soldiers willing to risk life and death for him without any complaints.
When the sergeants heard the footsteps behind them, they turned their heads to look secretly.
"This is not General Wei. He is not dead."
When they saw their commander following a young man like a follower, countless soldiers screamed in their hearts.
The shock of the sergeant of Fengjun was even worse than that of the sergeant of Wei Zijun.
After all, some of the Wei Zijun sergeants knew that Wei Jichen was not dead, while the Fengjun sergeants were convinced.
At this time, they were shocked to see the living Wei Jichen standing behind them, and then some smart sergeants understood why their commander had the courage to set up an ambush here.
It turns out that General Wei is personally commanding. So, General Wei pretended to be dead just to lure the Japanese into being fooled. Now that the Japanese are really fooled, doesn’t it mean that we have always had the upper hand, and it seems that winning this battle is not impossible. Maybe.
The sergeants were not fools. After the initial confusion, they all reacted and showed a little smile on their faces.
