----------------------------------------

In Fanjiatai, after Nie Shicheng defeated the remaining enemies, he led the army into the village.

Nie Shicheng asked people to clean up the original Japanese brigade headquarters a little and use it as his command post.

Although the remnants of the enemy in the village were eliminated, many Japanese troops were still defeated in the entire Caohekou area. Nie Shicheng sent troops to search for the enemy and the troops that had separated last night.

"Why, there's no news about Zijie yet?" Nie Shicheng asked the sergeant below with a frown.

The scattered troops have begun to come back one after another. Of course, there are some who will never come back.

Nie Shicheng couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that there was no news about Wei Jichen, whom he valued most.

Zhou Dingchen on the side advised: "Zijie is brave and good at fighting. He must have chased the enemy far away. Don't worry too much, Commander Nie."

Nie Shicheng nodded and could only let go of his worries.

"Today, our army made a surprise attack on Caohekou and regained Lianshanguan. This is the first time our army has regained lost ground since the war began. This will surely inspire all the troops fighting the enemy. The situation on the battlefield on the East Road has changed. The Japanese have turned around. The enemy was on the defensive, while our army turned to the offensive, being able to threaten the Japanese army in Phoenix at any time, which can be described as a great victory. "

Nie Shicheng pointed to the march map, with a hint of relief on his tired face.

"What Marshal Nie said is true. The Japanese general Yamagata Aritomo led the first army, including Katsura Taro's third division to attack Xiuyan, while the main force, Nozu Michizuki's fifth division, attacked our station."

Ma Jinxu continued with a smile on his face: "The 10th Brigade of the 5th Division is now eaten up by our army. The 5th Division also has the 9th Mixed Brigade Oshima Yimasabu, which is stationed on the front line of Phoenix City, and Nozudo There are more than 7,000 troops in the division headquarters led by Guanqin."

Nie Shicheng sighed and said: "It's a pity that our army suffered a lot of casualties in last night's battle. Otherwise, we could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it and marched to Phoenix City."

"One bite cannot make you fat. After retaking Lianshanguan, are you still afraid that you won't have the chance to attack Phoenix City?" Ma Jinxu analyzed slowly with a smile on his lips.

"Lisheng is very confident." Speaking of this, Nie Shicheng asked again: "Not long ago, the border army sent news that Lianshan Pass was captured, but why haven't Shoushan and Yongshan sent troops to join them yet? ?”

Yongshan is the commander of Yiketang'a's cavalry, and Shoushan is the commander of the town's border army. Last night they cooperated to encircle and annihilate the 10th Brigade and attack Lianshanguan.

The reason why they haven't sent anyone here yet is because these two men were greedy for merit. After conquering Lianshan Pass without spending much money, the two of them felt that their achievements were too small, so they combined their forces to prepare for the attack. Counterattack on Phoenix.

Nie Shicheng was about to send someone to inquire, but a sergeant came in to report with a happy face.

"Commander Nie, the cavalry who went out to wipe out the remnants of the Japanese discovered traces of Wei Jichen and others." The sergeant had been following Nie Shicheng for a long time, and knew that he valued Wei Jichen very much, so he looked surprised.

"Oh, come with me and others to go out and have a look." Nie Shicheng walked out at the lead without waiting for the others to speak.

"Where is it?" Nie Shicheng, who had gone out the door, found no sign of Wei Jichen and couldn't help but asked the sergeant who reported him in surprise.

"Commander Nie, please look at these captured Japanese cannons." The sergeant calmly pointed to the howitzers being pulled back by horses and said.

"Oh, this is Wei Jichen, the murderer!" Nie Shicheng leaned over and finally recognized the blurry handwriting. Then he finished reading slowly and smiled.

This Wei Jichen really can't bear any loss. No matter how many of the cannons captured this time are given to him, he will definitely come here every now and then to cause trouble.

The rest of the onlookers looked at the words on the cannon with strange expressions, suppressed the smiles on their faces, and shook their heads helplessly.

"Shuai Nie, General Wei is back." A horse galloped over and the sergeant on the horse shouted loudly.

"You really are talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon." Nie Shicheng said with a smile. He looked up and saw a horse team slowly approaching the village entrance.

There are about a hundred people in this cavalry team, and everyone is injured. However, these people all have a kind of indifference in their eyes, which is an indifference to life.

The evil aura on a hundred or so people can actually make the people next to them feel a biting chill. How many people need to be killed to generate this.

"Nie Shuai!" While Nie Shicheng was secretly amazed, Wei Jichen got off his horse and saluted him.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Wei Jichen's face, Nie Shicheng couldn't help but jokingly asked: "Zijie, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy because you missed the general attack?"

It was okay if Nie Shicheng didn't ask. This question made Wei Jichen, who was holding back his tears, burst into tears.

"More than two hundred brothers went to war with me, Wei Jichen, and now only about a hundred of them have come back alive." Wei Jichen looked back at the cavalrymen who were all injured, and his tone became sad.

"Well, soldiers will inevitably die in battle. As long as Zijie does his best and saves the lives of some more soldiers, he will have a clear conscience." Nie Shicheng patted Wei Jichen on the shoulder and said a little lonely.

Even though he had been in the army for many years and was used to seeing life and death, he was not in a good mood at this time. He led a thousand cavalry and fifteen hundred infantry, and after a night's battle, only half of them were left.

When the generals around heard the conversation between the two, they all felt the same way, and their joy of victory was dampened by a touch of sadness.

Wei Jichen couldn't help but regret when he saw that he had made everyone feel uncomfortable.

"Shuai Nie, Lord Ma and I set up an ambush ten miles away and killed the commander of the 10th Brigade, Li Jian Shang Wen." Wei Jichen waved and asked the sergeant behind him to carry Li Jian Shang Wen's body.

"Meet Naofumi immediately!" Sure enough, upon hearing the news, all the generals who were a little sad just now gathered around him with surprise on their faces.

Nie Shicheng first asked the injured sergeant to go down for treatment, and then he came over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this person would inevitably die in the end. Zijie, you have made a great contribution this time. Otherwise, I, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, Let you do it.”

"Shuai Nie is joking." Wei Jichen blushed and said he didn't dare. He thought to himself: Even if you let me take the job now, I don't have the ability. I still need to study more.

"Zijie, are those your cannons?" Nie Shicheng pointed at the captured cannons he had just pulled back, and when he said 'you', he bit hard.

Of course, Wei Jichen understood what Nie Shicheng meant, and replied with a wry smile: "These are the spoils of the soldiers who fought hard all night. How dare I, Wei Jichen, take it all for myself?"

What Wei Jichen means is that although I don't dare to take it all for myself, you still have to leave some for me.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you two doors." Nie Shichenghun waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Just two doors?" Wei Jichen looked at Nie Shicheng with a look of reluctance.

Nie Shicheng turned around and left. If he stayed here any longer, he would probably be deducted by Wei Jichen.

After fighting hard all night, Wei Jichen found a place to rest after settling down his soldiers.

Nie Shicheng, however, was busy counting the results of the battle and dispatching spies to prevent the Japanese from counterattack.

Phoenix City, inside the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

The commander-in-chief of the First Army, Aritomo Yamagata, the commander of the fifth division, Michizuki Nozu, the chief of staff of the fifth division, Major General Mataji Ogawa, and the commander of the third division, Katsura Taro, were among the senior generals of the first army.

The command post was in a state of gloom.

Chief of Staff Xiaochuan once again took a telegram and was speechless for a long time. He finally said: "Caohekou, Lianshan Pass was attacked by the Chinese. The last telegram sent by Li Jianjun last night was: the army was defeated. Lead the remaining troops to break out."

"It's already the morning of the second day, and there hasn't been any news from Tachimi-kun. It seems that he is in danger." Nozu Michinuki continued with grief and anger: "The Chinese sneak attack, why did the empire's intelligence department prepare it in advance? There was no news at all and a string of victories had gone to their heads."

Shanxian Youpeng glanced at everyone, and then slowly said: "Okay, now that the deal is done, what we have to consider is the next strategic arrangement."

Immediately seeing Naofumi looked down on Shanxian Youpeng, he thought that his defeated general He De could not give orders on his head, so sometimes birds were not seen in Shanxian Youpeng.

Therefore, Yamagata Aritomo is not very concerned about whether Naofumi is dead or alive. What he is concerned about is how the current war situation should continue.

Lianshanguan was captured and the east-route attack was frustrated. It was time to consider strengthening the west-route offensive.

"Katsura Taro, you immediately rush to the front line of the Third Division and personally command the Third Division to attack the Chinese cities of Xiuyan and Ximu City." Youtomo from Shan County looked at Katsura Taro, who was sitting at attention below, and gave the order without hesitation.

Katsura Taro is the head disciple of Aritomo Yamagata. Historically, he is also the longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history.

This vanguard of the invasion of China couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard that friends from Shanxian County were going to strengthen the offensive on the West Road. He still hesitated, but immediately said: "Hey, I'm here to serve the country."

Shanxian Yutomo looked at Nozu Michizuki again, and he considered allocating some troops from the fifth division to attack Xiuyan together and open the road to Liaoyang as soon as possible.

"Report, there are Qing troops chasing out of Lianshanguan and coming to Phoenix City." A Japanese soldier came in quickly to report.

Youpeng and others in Shanxian County were shocked at first, and then looked happy.

"Well done, the Chinese people are too arrogant. They think that if they win once, they will be invincible," Youpeng from Shanxian County said with a smile as he slapped the table.

"Nozu-kun, you go down and command the battle. This time, you will teach the Chinese people a big lesson."

"Hai!" Nozu Michizuki had no chance to take revenge, so the enemy came to his door automatically.

Two days later, the Japanese army set up an ambush on the road from Lianshanguan to Phoenix City. Shoushan and Yongshan were greedy and carelessly stepped into the enemy's encirclement. Yongshan, the leader of the cavalry, was killed in action, and the remaining troops of Yiketang Abao retreated to Lianshanguan.

Nie Shicheng was shocked when the news came. He originally planned to lead some of his troops back to Dakaoling, leaving only a few troops to garrison at the mouth of Caohe.

After hearing the news, Nie Shicheng could only postpone it. If Yiketang'a couldn't stand it anymore and asked him for help, he could respond quickly.

Nie Shicheng was held back, and Wei Jichen naturally couldn't go back.

After paying homage to his dead brother, Wei Jichen put Naofumi Tatemi's head in a box.

The weather was cold, and it was soaked in lime, so it didn't emit any peculiar smell.

After finding paper and pen, Wei Jichen began to give gifts to friends in Shan County.

"Today I will meet Naofumi, tomorrow I will meet Nozu Douki, and the next day I will have friends in Shan County."

Ma Yucuo stood behind Wei Jichen, watching him write these arrogant words, and couldn't help but read them out softly.

"Brother Ma, how's it going? I'm okay with my writing?" Wei Jichen blew the pen and ink gently and asked with a smile.

The previous owner of the body was a young scholar. Although he had not achieved fame for a long time, he had practiced calligraphy well. In this army full of old men and women, he stood out and stood out from the crowd.

Ma Yunuo smiled and said: "I can't tell whether the words are good or not, but the tone is strong enough. It turns out that this is why you asked Nie Shuai to see Naofumi's head immediately."

The two have been through life and death together, and their relationship has been established unconsciously. Therefore, Ma Yucuo speaks without politeness.

Wei Jichen smiled slightly, put the letter into the box, and said, "Brother Ma, please find someone to deliver it to you."

Ma Yucuo took it and replied: "Don't worry when I do the work. I guarantee that Naofumi Tachimi's head will be delivered to Youpeng in Shanxian County in two days."

The two joked for a while, and then Ma Yuxi stood up and left.

Wei Jichen has been resting in his room to recuperate for the past few days. Of course, only he knows that he has been training marksmanship and martial arts in the training base.

Entering the system again, Wei Jichen still looked at his personal information with a smile on his face, even though he had been happy for a long time.

Wei Jichen, male, 22 years old

Rank: Private First Class.

Merit points: 212014, title: Ten Thousand Enemies, total merit points gained exceeds 10,000.

Prestige value: 4563, title: Famous.

Yes, the main task of regaining the lost territory has been completed. Wei Jichen has received 5,000 points of merit points. In addition, in the previous battle, he killed countless Japanese officers, even the major general level Naofumi Hashimi, Wei Jichen's merit points have been There are more than 20,000 points.

Of course, perhaps it was because of Wei Jichen's outstanding performance in that battle that he impressed many soldiers, and his prestige was growing at an unprecedented rate every day.

I believe that breaking through 5,000 points is not far away. The news revealed from Tinker Bell's mouth is that as long as his prestige value breaks through 5,000 points, he will be promoted to corporal.

Promoting from a soldier to a petty officer is like a super training base, and a new project will appear.

Wei Jichen was happy not only because his merit points and prestige points had increased, but also because there was another weapon in the army system, and this weapon was also very practical.

That is the offensive grenade. Hand grenades are not a rare thing. All countries used to have them, and some countries have built special grenadier units. However, with the extensive use of guns and artillery, such small grenades have gradually declined.

But Wei Jichen knew that it wouldn't be long before the grenade would usher in its second spring.

In later generations, during the Russo-Japanese War, grenades played a great role, and with the rise of trench warfare, grenades that have been improved and become more powerful will surely shine and become another powerful weapon on the battlefield.

The grenade in the system is the Type 77 wooden handle grenade used by the Chinese army during the Anti-Japanese War. It is simple to operate and can be thrown far away. Although it is not very lethal, it can definitely be called a sharp weapon compared to today.

The price of the Type 77 wooden handle grenade is 15 points of merit, which is neither expensive nor cheap. It is a one-time consumable. If it is too expensive, Wei Jichen will definitely not buy it. However, in the eyes of Wei Jichen, who is now quite a nouveau riche, That can only be considered a small amount of money.

However, the new main task gave Wei Jichen a bit of pain. It was not too difficult, but very difficult.

Main mission: Kill Japanese generals above the level of commander of the Japanese division.

Mission completed: 30,000 merit points rewarded.

Mission failed: None.

The Japanese army has a total of five divisions in Liaodong: the 1st Division of Lieutenant General Yamachi Motoji, the 2nd Division of Lieutenant General Sakuma Mata and the 6th Division of Lieutenant General Kuroki Moraki. These three divisions The regiment formed the Second Army, led by the Japanese general Dashanyan, and was attacking Lushun and other places.

Then there is the First Army led by Shanxian Youpeng. The First Army has two divisions: the Fifth Division and the Third Division. Michizuki Nozu, the commander of the fifth division, and Katsura Taro, the commander of the third division.

If Wei Jichen wanted to complete the main task, he had to find a way with the few people above. The difficulty can be imagined. This was because Wei Jichen was depressed, so he had to use Tachimi Naofumi's head to tease Shanxian Youto and others.

If the main mission could not be completed, Wei Jichen believed that he would not think about earning merit points by doing missions during the Sino-Japanese War.
