Super Dictator

When Wei Jichen saw the sergeants looking at him, they all smiled and nodded to show encouragement. Suddenly, Wei Jichen stopped and Nie Guilin, who was walking behind him with his head lowered, almost bumped into his back. It turned out that Wei Jichen saw a young soldier, who might have lost his outer coat in a hurry at night. He was lying on the ground shivering, and his lips were so cold that they turned purple-black. Wei Jichen paused for a moment, then walked up quickly. When the young soldier saw Wei Jichen approaching, he was even more frightened, fearing that the adults would blame him for losing his uniform. Especially when Nie Guilin saw Wei Jichen walking towards the sergeant, he took the lead and rushed in front of the sergeant. He slapped him in the face and cursed angrily: "Trash, why didn't you also throw away the guy you were eating?" When the soldiers of the military supervisory army saw that their commander was angry, they all rushed forward to catch him like wolves and tigers. Wei Jichen's face darkened slightly, he stretched out his hand to stop him, and then said calmly to Nie Guilin: "The road is rough at night, so there will be mistakes. Sir Nie, please don't blame him." Nie Guilin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was afraid that Wei Jichen It is his fault that he was not strict in running the army, and when the time comes to report his merits, he will not be counted. Wei Jichen saw that the sergeant was so frightened that his face turned pale, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and patted his shoulder to comfort him. Then he took off his coat, put it on him, raised his fists to those around him and said, "Brothers, for me, Wei Jichen, I have suffered and been tired. After annihilating the Japanese 3rd Division, I, Wei Jichen, will apologize to my brothers." Looking at the young sergeant who was frightened by him, Wei Jichen encouraged him: "Little brother, you put on this coat first. Warm your body, as long as you can kill more Japanese, I will not blame you for losing your uniform, but will also ask for credit for you." His spring-like smile and heart-warming words immediately brought tears to the eyes of the young sergeant. , choked up and said: "Commander Wei, I, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the commander-in-chief, and I will fight to the death to kill a few more Japanese." Wei Jichen nodded with a smile, and then led a group of people forward. This scene fell into the eyes of many Fengjun sergeants. When they saw Wei Jichen, who was thinly dressed but still upright, the expressions in their eyes changed from surprise to respect. The Qing Dynasty had never heard of a commander who loved his soldiers so much that he would rather be left cold when his soldiers suffered. For a moment, all the sergeants felt warm in their hearts. The cold weather was nothing, and they all looked down firmly. Wei Jichen secretly entered the system and found that Feng Jun's morale suddenly increased to 65 points. The skills of military advisors can only temporarily improve morale, but leading by example, thinking from others' perspective, and caring more about sergeants can naturally improve the morale of an army. Wei Jichen suddenly had an epiphany. Wei Jichen greeted him with greetings and went all the way, from the Fengjun to the Gongwei Army, and then from the Gongwei Army to the Xizi Army. Countless soldiers were originally surprised to see him alive, but instead were moved. Soldiers died for their confidants. They all held the rifles in their hands tightly and looked firmly at the road below. "Your Excellency, up ahead is Ma Jinxu's defensive position Xu Jia Yuanzi. As long as Xu Jia Yuanzi is captured, we will be able to attack Haicheng." Jiro Ogawa, chief of staff of the 3rd Division, said with excitement. Katsura Taro and his generals, large and small, were staying on a high ground, holding a telescope to look at the arrangements of the Xu Family Yuanzi. Hearing what Ogawa Jiro said, Katsura Taro put down his telescope, sighed and said: "Since Wei Jichen's death, the morale of the Haicheng Qing army has really plummeted. Look, even Ma Jinxu's troops are like this. The positions are all arranged. Focusing on passive defense, there is simply no courage to compete with the imperial army." Ogawa Jiro also raised his telescope to look over, then put it down for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that Wei Jichen's death has also hit Ma Jinxu hard. In this way, it won't take much time for our army to break through Xujia Yuanzi." Major General Hisao Oshima of the 6th Brigade said anxiously: "Your Excellency, please order the attack. Nogi-kun has always been brave in battle. , Our 3rd Division should not waste so much time here, otherwise by the time we arrive at Haicheng, Nogi-kun might have been drinking in the city. "The strength of the 5th Brigade has not yet been restored, so it will be natural to attack Haicheng this time. Mainly the 6th Brigade. Oshima Hisao was afraid that Nogi Nogi would take most of the credit, and his 6th Brigade would be completely reduced to a foil. Oshima Hisao's worry is also Katsura Taro's worry. Others don't know Nogi Nogi's background, but Katsura knows it clearly. In his heart, Nogi Nogi is a person who doesn't know how to adapt, and his combat ideas can only be described as classical and outdated. Strong general. In the past, during the Southwest War to suppress Saigo Moritaka's rebellion, Nogi Nogi Nogi was defeated by the enemy in the middle because he led the army in a mad dash. Most of them were raped. Even the regiment's flag was taken away by the rebels. He really brought shame on the government troops. All was lost. However, Nogi Nogi's old-fashioned tactics of fierce fighting and rushing were able to achieve great success repeatedly when dealing with the Qing militia, because the two armies were not at the same level at all. After thinking about it like this, Katsura Taro couldn't help but After hesitating again, he said softly: "Oshima-kun, please." "Hey, our 6th Brigade will definitely not disappoint the division commander, and will definitely become the first imperial army to invade Haicheng City." Oshima Jiuzhi tilted his head a little and said confidently. In the command post of Xujia Yuanzi Renzi Army's defensive position, Ma Jinxu, Ma Yucuo and other generals were anxiously waiting for news. "Report, the Japanese have begun to attack." The signal soldiers rushed in and reported loudly. Ma Jinxu stood up and said: "Everyone, success or failure depends on this, Yucuo, it's all up to you." Ma Yucuo replied with a depressed look: "Sir, can you let me change my job?

"Ma Jinxu did not tell the soldiers about the plan of using his Ren army as bait and pretending to retreat. He only told it to a small circle and a few people. Otherwise, the Japanese would easily find out the flaw. He asked Ma Yumeng to flee privately when the troops were resisting, causing panic among the soldiers in other camps and making them unwilling to fight. In the end, the Ren army would naturally flee. If Ma Jinxu did so, some brave soldiers who were unaware of the inside story would definitely fight to the death, and his Ren army would also suffer heavy losses. However, in order for Wei Jichen's plan to succeed, he had no choice but to sacrifice his army with tears. As the first to escape, the troops in Ma Yumeng's camp would definitely suffer less losses. Ma Jinxu said solemnly: "Yumeng, your troops suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Yushu Fort and have been seriously injured. I don't want you to be the only one left in your front camp after luring the enemy this time. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your brothers." "Your subordinates will obey the orders of General Ma. "Ma Yuming bit his lip and turned away. At Xujiayuanzi, the Japanese had already formed their offensive formation, waiting for Oshima Hisanao's order. He glanced at the position of the Renzi Army with contempt. Turning around, he smiled and said to several captains, "You are trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, overestimating your own ability. Gentlemen, Nogi-kun's mixed brigade has already advanced towards Haicheng. Should we waste time in this small place?" The two regiment commanders and several captains were also eager to make achievements, and they shouted in unison, "Break through Xujiayuanzi and move forward." "Gentlemen, although my 3rd Division suffered several small setbacks, that was because my 6th Brigade did not catch up. Otherwise, how could we have been defeated by the Qing army? I ask you to join me in washing away the shame of the 3rd Division. Pass on my order and attack!" Oshima Hisanao drew out his command knife, swung it forward vigorously, and shouted loudly. "Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire. "The Japanese generals shouted in unison with red faces and thick necks, and the Japanese soldiers were all in high spirits. As the vanguard of the Kurifa Regiment, he put on white gloves, waved his command knife, and personally commanded. Boom. The Japanese artillery team was the first to show its power. After a little test firing, they adjusted the angle. Twelve field guns pulled by six horses and 12 mountain guns carried by horses were arranged on both sides of the 3-foot high ground, and they bombarded Xu Jiayuanzi with volleys of artillery. The deafening rumble sounded everywhere in the front positions of the Renzi Army. The dirt, rubble, and gravel on the positions were scattered, and smoke immediately filled the entire battlefield. Fortunately, Ma Jinxu's fortifications were well built, with air-raid shelters and single-soldier pits. Although the Japanese artillery shells The bombardment was fierce, but not many soldiers were killed or injured. Only the defensive fortifications on the position were slowly destroyed under the bombardment of artillery. The Japanese artillery team bombarded for more than half an hour, suppressing the Chinese army to hide in the fortifications and dare not show their faces. Looking down from above, the position was full of potholes. The embers had not yet dissipated, and under the cover of artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers shouted and bent their bodies to attack bravely. Seeing this, Ma Jinxu immediately ordered the artillery to fight back. The Japanese regiment guard flag soldier died and three were injured, and more than ten soldiers were killed immediately. Katsura Taro stood in the back and watched the battle. Seeing this, he couldn't help but say to his left and right: "The white-haired old general's men really look like a separate army." The white-haired old general refers to Song Qing, who is over 60 years old and has a head full of white hair. It is very eye-catching. Ogawa Jiro said disapprovingly: "Perhaps among the Qing army, this army can be regarded as a strong force, but compared with the imperial army, it has become a third-rate army. "Katsura Taro smiled and nodded gently. Kurifihara, who was commanding the attack, had a cold light in his eyes. As the starting force, and the first battle between the attack on Haicheng and the Qing Dynasty, he must seize the initiative and take this place in one go, and quickly disintegrate the morale of the various armies in Haicheng. Kurifihara threw away his military cap, took off his military coat, wrapped a white headscarf around his forehead, held his command knife, and roared as he sang the Japanese military song. Seeing this, the generals around him sang along loudly. Soon, the Japanese military song sounded on the battlefield, and the passionate tune immediately made the Japanese soldiers excited. Inspired by this, the Japanese soldiers all scrambled to be the first to break through and advance desperately.
