Super Dictator

The sneak attack at night failed, and even the commander of the regiment, Ken Yamamura, committed suicide by caesarean section, causing the morale of the Japanese side to plummet and the attack to be frustrated.

Katsura Taro spent the whole morning mobilizing troops and generals, regrouping, and transferred Osako Shoatoshi from the northwest front to the northeast front to command the operations, while Miyoshi Ningxing was temporarily in charge of the northwest front.

Since the terrain in the southeast and northeast of Yushu Fort was more precarious, Katsura Taro did not regard these two directions as the main direction of attack. The same was true for Wei Jichen. In addition to sending Ma Yunuo with a small number of troops to prevent Japanese surprise attacks, he also focused his main attention on Northern Line.

Wei Jichen took advantage of the rare rest time to send several waves of communication troops to Ximu City to ask for help. Of course, he also knew that it was unlikely that Feng Sheng'a would send troops to help, but there were some things that you still had to do even though you knew the outcome.

In this way, once the Wei Zijun retreats, Shang Shang can argue with Fengsheng'a by using the lack of reinforcements in the city.

At this time, Wei Jichen really missed his days in Dakaoling. Although there were conflicts among the armies, Nie Shicheng was able to shake things up and overwhelm the generals. He also acted fairly and never had such a problem. Sit back and watch your friendly forces being attacked.

At the front of the position, Wei Jichen in the trench watched the Japanese in the distance collecting the bodies of those killed in last night's sneak attack.

In addition to secretly shouting that he was lucky, Wei Jichen also admired his luck. If he had not ordered Cheng Bushi to throw the flammable wood and thatch over there earlier, how could he have achieved such a great victory last night.

It has to be said that war itself is full of many unpredictable factors, and luck, a seemingly ethereal thing, can sometimes determine the victory of a battle. I remember that during World War I and World War II, Allied soldiers were The random firing actually hit an important enemy arsenal, which led to the victory of a battle.

"How's the ammunition consumption?" Wei Jichen was silent for a while, then suddenly asked Cheng Bu Shidao.

"About 40% has been consumed." Cheng Bushi reported an approximate figure.

Wei Jichen sighed and said, "We can't hold on for much longer. The fighting all day and night has consumed so much."

There is nothing that can be done about this. The Japanese attack from several sides at the same time, even if they want to save some time, they will not be able to save it.

Wei Jichen asked again: "What are the casualties of the sergeant?"

Cheng Bushi looked a little gloomy, closed his eyes and said: "Our brothers Wei Zijun and Yijun have lost more than 300 combat effectiveness, and 200 people have been sacrificed."

The number of casualties included those killed on the spot and those seriously injured afterwards who could not be treated.

"Let's go back to the headquarters to hold a combat meeting." Wei Jichen has already made up his mind to break out tonight. The total number of Wei Zijun and Yijun is only more than 1,500 people. After a day and night of fighting, the number of troops has been reduced. one third.

After a while, the generals gathered in the headquarters to discuss tonight's breakout.

Wei Jichen sat in the middle of the upper chamber, flanked by Li Yunfei, Cheng Bushi, Ma Yucuo, Xiao Monk, Zhang Meng, Zhao Hu, Wang Shizhen, Zhang Zuolin and others.

On the table in the middle was a huge marching map.

All the generals had solemn expressions. When Wei Jichen mentioned that he was going to break out of the encirclement, no one expressed surprise.

In the current situation, China has won two battles in a row, which has greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese. Unfortunately, its own casualties are also high. If we don't break out, there will always be a time when we run out of ammunition and food.

"Master Wei, I wonder in which direction our army will break out? Is it towards Haicheng or Ximu City?" After Wei Jichen said his intention, the first person to ask was Ma Yucuo, the officer of Yijun Camp.

The 7th Japanese Infantry Regiment cut off Yushu Fort's retreat to Haicheng. The 17th Japanese Regiment pretended to attack Ximu City and prevented the troops in the city from rescuing Yushu Fort. The 19th Japanese Regiment attacked Yushu Fort head-on.

There are Japanese troops stationed in three directions. Breaking through to the 19th Regiment means going deep into the Japanese hinterland. Wei Jichen is not concerned about his longevity yet, so he does not consider it.

In fact, breaking out towards Ximu City is a good choice. As long as the troops in the city come out to respond and all the armies work together, plus the Wei Zijun has killed many Japanese soldiers in the past two days, a defensive counterattack is not wishful thinking. Unfortunately, Feng Sheng'a has gone too far. Pen, don’t mention it.

The last option left is to break through the position of the 7th Regiment. The 7th Regiment did not suffer as many casualties as the 19th Regiment yesterday, because the 7th Regiment was here to cut off the escape route of Yushu Fort and prevent Wei Jichen from escaping. Yes, of course there will be some reservations in attacking yesterday.

But the question was about Ma Yucuo, so Wei Jichen couldn't answer directly. Others came to save you with good intentions. You can't be ungrateful and throw aside the other troops of Yijun. Ma Jinxu in Ximu City is still fighting fiercely.

Wei Jichen couldn't say, but he had no worries about anything else. Cheng Bushi said with a cold face: "I have to say this. Naturally, we broke out towards Haicheng. Fengsheng'a refused to save him. Do we still have to lead the troops back to Ximu City and let them go?" Did he see the joke?"

"Old Chen!" Wei Jichen looked at him angrily and said softly: "You can't say that. Fengsheng is unjust, but we can't be unkind. We are both Chinese troops. Although we have no choice but to retreat, we must know before retreating." Tell him, if he also wants to retreat, that's good, we can retreat to Haicheng together, not to mention that Mr. Ma is still in Ximu City, so we can't retreat alone. "

Cheng Bushi snorted coldly and said: "Sir, you are always too kind to a woman. Brothers, we all know what this old guy Fengsheng'a does. If he hadn't refused to save him, we wouldn't have been able to save him." We will be trapped in Yushu Fort, but once Commander Ma did find out, Brother Yijun retreated to Haicheng with us to avoid being trapped by that old guy. "

"Okay, don't mention this matter anymore. After the meeting, I will send someone to inform the armies in the city." Wei Jichen waved his hand and said. In fact, he asked someone to notify Fengsheng'a so that the Japanese could disperse if the two armies retreated at the same time. Use part of your troops to deal with him, otherwise the firepower will be drawn to you.

Cheng Bushi grunted and stopped talking. Ma Yucuo heard that Wei Jichen would ask someone to notify Ma Jinxu and there were no other problems.

Wei Jichen looked at Wang Shizhen again. Wang Shizhen looked a little depressed. If he broke through, his mountain-splitting cannons would have to be abandoned.

"The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come. Please don't be too upset, Mr. Bin. Before today's breakout, the artillery team first bombed the 7th Infantry Regiment position continuously until all the artillery shells were used up, and finally blew up these cannons. Don't leave it to the Japanese." Wei Jichen was also a little distressed. He had managed to get all this. He didn't expect that he would lose it in the hands of his own people instead of in the hands of the enemy.

"Huzi, you lead the two sentry troops as the vanguard. It's up to you whether you can break out tonight." Wei Jichen looked at Huzi seriously.

The leader of Huzi has always dared to fight fiercely, and he is the only one who can break through the enemy.

"Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely lead my brothers to fight a bloody path for my brothers." Huzi replied without changing his expression.

"Yunfei, you lead the two sentry brothers to escort the injured brother in the middle of the breakout. I, Wei Jichen, am not a man of bad faith. I promised the injured brother last night that I would not abandon them." Wei Jichen looked at him again with a calm expression. Li Yunfei said.

"Yes, sir." Li Yunfei didn't say anything big or boast about Haikou. He always strictly followed Wei Jichen's orders.

"Sir, what about our sniper team?" Mengzi couldn't help but asked anxiously when he saw that everyone was getting bigger and had a mission.

A smile appeared at the corner of Wei Jichen's lips and he said with a smile: "Of course you are escorting the injured brothers and brothers in the artillery team in the Chinese Army."

Wang Shizhen was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Sir, although our artillery soldiers are not as good at shooting as the soldiers in the infantry, they are not wounded who need to be escorted."

"Every inch has its shortcomings and its strengths. Please don't say more, Mr. Cheng. I and I are in the rear. Brother Ma and his Yijun brothers are echoing back and forth, ready to support Huzi's forward and our brothers in the rear." Wei Jichen The task is deployed in one breath.

"Sir, I, Cheng, will be the one to cut off the rear. You should take command from the center." Cheng Bushi said quickly when he heard that Wei Jichen wanted to cut off the rear with him.

Those who open the road and those who break the road will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties. Cheng Bushi said this to protect Wei Jichen.

But Wei Jichen knew that if he left first, the morale of the army would be unstable, and a premeditated retreat might turn into a disorderly rout.

"Old Cheng, do you want to test your marksmanship with me?" Wei Jichen joked with a smile.

His words eased the tense atmosphere in the air, and all the generals looked at Cheng Bushi in amusement.

"Let's talk about this later." Cheng Bushi blushed slightly and touched his beard in embarrassment.

"Okay, if everyone has no objections, let's go down and make preparations. Maybe the Japanese will attack vigorously in the afternoon." Wei Jichen stood up and said with a smile.

All the generals stood up to say goodbye. Wei Jichen watched everyone leave with a bad feeling in his heart. He hoped that everyone would be safe tonight.

Two hours later, Feng Sheng'a of Ximu City learned that Wei Jichen was about to retreat, and he was immediately furious. If Wei Jichen escaped, who would stop him from the Japanese? He hadn't even escaped yet.

Fengsheng Ah immediately summoned the generals in the city to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, Wei Jichen, the waiter, is indeed unreliable. He is greedy for life and afraid of death. Now he actually wants to retreat to Haicheng." Feng Sheng'a stood at the front of the hall and said angrily.

After hearing this, Ma Jinxu below couldn't help but secretly despise him. If you hadn't delayed rescuing him, he would have escaped. What's more, the battle between Yushu Fort and the Japanese was witnessed by everyone. Although it was extremely tragic, the Chinese army still occupied the area. The advantage can be said to be impressive.

"Wei Jichen is actually trying to escape, what should we do?"

"Yes, even Wei Jichen can't resist the Japanese attack, how can we be even worse?"

Most of the generals below were panicked when they heard Fengsheng'a's words and didn't know what to do.
