Super Dictator

Chapter 180: Retreat

Fuzhou City.

Nishi Kanjiro, commander of the Japanese Infantry Second Brigade, was shocked when he learned the news that Jinzhou City had been breached. Then he received an order from the base camp to recover Jinzhou City with all his strength, and immediately prepared to lead the army to return for reinforcements.

"Your Excellency, I think we should attack Song Qing's army to achieve the purpose of rescuing Jinzhou City." Chief of Staff Jin Tianyi looked at the map carefully and suggested.

"Attack Song Qingjun?" Xi Kuanerlang was a little surprised at first, then thoughtful.

"Yes, in the words of the Chinese people, this move is called encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. According to the news from Lord Dasi, Wei Jichen led about 5,000 people to attack Jinzhou, while Song Qing's tribe only had 20,000 people in total, and more than 5,000 elite soldiers were divided. Isn’t this our opportunity?” Jin Tian only expressed his analysis.

When the other Japanese generals heard his words, their eyes lit up.

Kanjiro Nishi praised: "As expected of the brains of my second brigade, we will follow Kaneda-kun's plan."

In Jinzhou City, Wei Jichen was doing his best to act as a porter.

Outside the warehouse.

"Have you counted the money inside?" Wei Jichen asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.

"As for Commander Wei, the inventory hasn't been completed yet." The sergeant guarding the warehouse immediately saluted and replied with a strong voice.

"Well, hurry up. We must find a place to bury these belongings within two days. I will go in and take a look first." Wei Jichen nodded and entered the warehouse.

Not long after, he walked out with his hands behind his back, contentedly, and then led a few soldiers to rush out of the city, saying that he wanted to check the terrain around Jinzhou City.

As soon as he arrived at the moat, Wei Jichen poured boxes and boxes of gold and silver in the space into the water while no one was paying attention, and he remembered the location firmly.

It's not that Wei Jichen wanted to embezzle the wealth in Jinzhou City, but the wealth that the Japanese looted was really amazing. In addition, the time was tight, Wei Jichen was afraid that the sergeants would not have time to transport it away and deal with it, so he had to be a hard-working little bee.

Move a little here, remove a little somewhere, and then find a place nearby to hide it. After the peace talks are over and the Japanese retreat, he can have others dig it out again.

Therefore, in the past two days, the generals of Wei Zijun found that their generals seemed to go out of the city for inspections much more often.

The sergeants guarding the warehouse also found that their general seemed to be in a good mood. He only occasionally went into the warehouse to check and found that the gold, silver and jewelry seemed to be a little less, but they were confused because no one had touched the money.

After all, personal power is limited. Although transporting property through space is not easy to be discovered, it is tragic to find that the space is too small.

Wei Jichen had no choice but to increase his speed while secretly sending people to search for a place to bury these treasures in the mountains outside Jinzhou City.

Then at night, Zhang Zuolin was asked to take a group of trustworthy soldiers to transport a large amount of property and bury it there.

Even so, there is still countless money in Jinzhou City.

Therefore, Wei Jichen summoned the generals today to discuss how to transport the money to the rear, and revealed his intention to retreat.

Ma Jinxu and Ma Yukun didn't know Wei Jichen's plan before. Now that they heard Wei Jichen talk about transporting these things quickly, Ma Jinxu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Wei Commander, are we going to take this city again just after we captured it?" Can this city be easily returned to the Japanese?"

Ma Jinxu couldn't understand that he had spent such a high price to capture this city, and now he was leaving at the drop of a hat.

Wei Jichen saw the thoughtful expression on Ma Yukun's face and said seriously to the two of them: "Brother Ma, I have said long ago that war cannot be based on gains and losses of one city or one place, but on the annihilation of the enemy's effective strength. Our final goal is to conquer Jinzhou and kill at least more than 2,000 Japanese. We have already achieved our strategic goal. Jinzhou is located in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area and is a place of the Fourth War. It is not easy to defend, so we can only take advantage of it. Accept it, otherwise you will end up in danger.”

Ma Jinxu sighed and said helplessly: "Mou understands what Wei Shuai said, but I am really unwilling to give the Japanese such a free advantage. Think about it, if we continue to occupy Jinzhou like this, it will definitely be difficult for Lao Zhongtang to negotiate in Japan." It will be a lot of help.”

When the generals heard Ma Jinxu's words, they all looked yearning. In life, people seek either money or fame. If they can hold Jinzhou until the end of the peace talks, the credit and reputation gained will be immeasurable.

After all, Jinzhou is in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied area and can pose a threat to other cities occupied by the Japanese at any time.

Wei Jichen saw the excited expressions in everyone's eyes and quickly gave up their thoughts and said solemnly: "My reputation is like a floating cloud. We must be responsible for the lives of our soldiers. Whether we can defend this city is another matter. Even if we can, in the end we will How many people can be left?”

Wei Jichen's words made everyone lower their heads. They had all been confused by fame and fortune, and they were so swollen that they forgot about it for a while.

"I, Wei Jichen, can't use the lives of my brothers as a stepping stone to promotion." Wei Jichen paused, raised his voice and continued: "Besides, our goal has been achieved. We have made the Japanese understand that our Chinese army It’s not that they don’t have the power to resist, but they should not ask for too high a price, otherwise it will be difficult to determine the outcome if they continue to fight.”

"What Commander Wei said makes sense. This battle is like a wake-up call to the Japanese. Don't think that having defeated our Beiyang Navy means they are invincible and China has been at their mercy. I, the Great China, still have a chance to fight with Commander Wei." A person who is brave enough to move forward dares to stand up when thousands of horses are silent and does not lose the confidence to fight again." Wang Shizhen said with a straight face, and she first flattered Wei Jichen.

Then he coughed, changed the topic in a leisurely manner, and said: "Therefore, in order to eliminate this example of us, the Japanese will attack this city crazily, so if we occupy this place again, it will be a little outweighed by the gain, not to mention what we have gained this time." It was quite rich. In addition to annihilating more than 2,000 Japanese, they also seized countless money and luggage. These things must be transported away in time and cannot fall into the hands of Japanese again. "

My dear, there will be more after this chapter^.^,

After Wang Shizhen finished speaking, Mengzi and others spoke in agreement with Wei Jichen's words.

In this way, Ma Jinxu and others could not say any more. They all agreed with Wei Jichen's decision to retreat, and believed that the original trail was both hidden and familiar to everyone, so they could retreat from there quietly.

The generals wanted to say more, but a signal soldier hurriedly knocked on the door and entered.

The signal soldier was sweating profusely and had stab wounds on his body. He immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the conference room fell silent.

"They're the soldiers beside Commander Song!" Ma Yukun suddenly exclaimed. He stood up nervously and asked urgently: "But Commander Song is in danger?"

The signal soldier was Song Qing's personal soldier. He didn't even have time to wipe off his sweat before he panted and said: "Wei Commander, my lords, the Japanese in Fuzhou City came out of the city to attack our army last night. Even Commander Song was almost unlucky. was killed in battle. Fortunately, Commander Song responded quickly and commanded in time, leading the army to retreat slowly. This did not cause greater losses. However, our army suffered a lot of losses, and with the new defeat, morale was even lower. Therefore, Commander Song I hope that Wei Shuai can lead his troops to return in time to prevent any unexpected events."

It seems that it is really impossible not to withdraw this time. Our artillery team is still with Song Qing. If the artillery baggage falls into the enemy's hands, it will be a big loss for us. The artillery team we finally got is will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Wei Jichen no longer hesitated, stood up and said, "Reply to Commander Song and tell him that I, Wei Jichen, will leave for the army immediately."

"Everyone, go down and prepare immediately. We will set off tonight. If we cannot take away all the valuable items in the city, we will blow them up." Wei Jichen added.

"I will obey Commander Wei's order." Everyone stood up and responded.
