Super Dictator

After Wei Jichen checked the entire project of the system, he sighed and quit. He was worried about the main task.

Recovering lost territory is not easy to accomplish. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Chinese army has been passively defensive and has not counterattacked several times. Wei Jichen did not believe that Nie Shicheng would consider how to counterattack after this victory.

The most ideal situation is for Nie Shicheng to wait until the Japanese are helpless against the Dakaoling defense line and cannot attack for a long time before he considers counterattack.

Therefore, the most important thing during this period is to defend the position. Fortunately, as the defensive side, it must have a good location, so that it can kill the Japanese happily.

Of course, as Mengzi said, killing ordinary little Japanese is a waste of bullets. If you want to kill, just kill the Japanese generals.

When Wei Jichen was thinking about how to kill the Japanese.

The headquarters of the 10th Japanese Brigade at Caohekou.

The 10th Brigade retreated for dozens of miles today, reaching the mouth of Caohe River. After seeing Naofumi immediately, he ordered the army to stop retreating and camp on the spot.

Li Jian Naofumi was first very happy that he had escaped from the enemy's encirclement and understood Nie Shicheng's conspiracy. However, it didn't take long for this happiness to turn into anger.

Because he later learned the news that the number of Qing troops stationed in Dagaoling was not hidden, and after he led his troops to retreat, there was no large-scale pursuit by the Qing troops.

Everything showed that he had been fooled, and thoroughly fooled.

At this time, Nie Shicheng must have secretly sneered in his heart. I immediately saw that Shangwen was as timid as a mouse. He immediately saw that Shangwen squeezed the teacup in his hand hard, and with a click, the teacup was crushed by him.

The staff officer Masakito Kneeling across the coffee table looked at Naofumi Tatemi with some worry, fearing that he would lose his mind and make the wrong decision.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Naofumi crush the tea cup, he seemed to let out a breath of bad breath, and his expression slowly changed from anger to calmness.

Then, Tachimi Naofumi actually laughed softly and said lightly: "The Chinese people can only use some tricks. Tomorrow, Tachimi Naofumi will let them see what strength is and what it means to be unstoppable."

"Your Excellency, the Major General, is right. The Chinese people resorted to such a cheap strategy precisely because of their lack of strength. Otherwise, they would not have dared to step forward today when our army was retreating in a hurry." Xiao Zhengshu nodded. go along.

After a pause, he saw Naofumi and asked again: "By the way, have you found out the identity of the enemy commander at the main attack position today?"

Xiao Zhengshuto pulled out a document from the folder, placed it on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "This is the information just sent by the Imperial Intelligence Department."

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894, Japan's intelligence department played an important role, and espionage activities were rampant. In addition, the Qing government did not pay attention to confidentiality at that time. Countless important information was continuously collected from the rear of the Qing army by the Japanese, and then transmitted back to the front line. .

Even before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, Li Hongzhang showed off and took Japanese intelligence chiefs to his Lushun military base to check, showing off the country's sharp weapons to others, making the military deployment map easily accessible to the Japanese army.

I wonder if Li Hongzhang regrets his original decision now that Japan has launched a war of aggression against China.

Immediately seeing Naofumi's interest, he opened the document with a solemn expression. He valued the enemy general who had repelled his several attacks today.

"Wei Jichen is now a sentry officer in the Luyu Defense Army. Before joining the army, he was a failed young scholar. Well! This man was once captured by our army. He blew up an arsenal in our army's Jiulian City and escaped from Jiucheng. After Liancheng, he ambush and killed Saito Masaki,..."

The more Naofumi looked at him, the more surprised he became. He discovered that Wei Jichen was like the nemesis of his 10th Brigade. When he just escaped from the prison camp, he killed generals at the level of second lieutenant and captain. Not long after returning to the Qing army, he again Killed one of his own majors and some other officers.

"The information on Wei Jichen is not detailed enough, so I asked the intelligence department to send me a steady stream of information about him." Naofumi Tachimi said with a gloomy face.

Xiao Zhengshuren naturally agreed, and then said: "Kane Tianzheng has reported to the staff that the fortifications of Wei Jichen's defensive positions are very different from those of the Qing army in the past. They can effectively stop the progress of our army, and the infantry joint Some soldiers in the team also reported after the battle that Wei Jichen's position did not seem to have lost many people after the bombardment. "

"Well, since Wei Jichen's position is a strong one, tomorrow we will choose other positions of other Qing generals as the main direction of attack."

Seeing Naofumi now regrets not carefully studying some changes in the Qing army's positions before the war, otherwise they might be able to capture Dakaoling today. However, he regrets it now and can only adjust his offensive strategy.

At dawn the next day, Hu Dianjia called for Wei Jichen and several other sentry officers to make some pre-war arrangements and mobilization.

The Japanese are coming with great force, and they will certainly not stop advancing just because yesterday's attack was thwarted.

After coming out of Hu Dianjia's tent, Wei Jichen went to the defensive position with five Mauser sniper rifles. He spent 1,250 merit points to buy these guns from the system after getting up this morning.

Fortunately, this gun can use ordinary bullets, otherwise he would really be reluctant to buy it.

After killing Takeda Hideyama, Wei Jichen tasted the sweetness. He planned to select four more people with outstanding marksmanship among the sergeants, and then form a five-person sniper team, led by Mengzi to shoot enemy generals.

Of course, there is one he plans to keep for himself.

Along the way, some sergeants saw Wei Jichen passing by and kept saluting to show respect.

Not long after, Wei Jichen arrived at his outpost's defensive position.

"Mengzi, come here!" Wei Jichen couldn't help but shouted with a smile when he saw Mengzi wiping his rifle.

"Wei Shao, you're here." Mengzi didn't know that he had made a great contribution yesterday, so he walked over with an honest face.

Wei Jichen put down his rifle and said with a smile, "Do you know who you killed yesterday?"

"Who is it?" Mengzi asked nonchalantly.

"He's a Japanese major, you're just waiting to be promoted and make a fortune!" Wei Jichen said with a smile, giving him a surprise.

Unexpectedly, Mengzi groaned for a long time, then touched his forehead and asked with some confusion: "Major, are you a big general?"

Wei Jichen smiled, feeling that his hot face was pressed against his cold ass. He had been happy for him for a long time, but he didn't care.

"Wei Jichen, even if I get promoted, I will continue to work for you." Mengzi thought for a moment and then said seriously.

Wei Jichen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I, Wei Jichen, can't bear to transfer you. You can find four guys with great marksmanship. I'll be of great use."

Birds of a feather flock together!

If you want to find someone with great marksmanship, you don't need to ask them one by one. Mengzi knows it all.

Mengzi didn't ask any more questions, but responded and left immediately.

Not long after, he led four soldiers over. To Wei Jichen's surprise, one of them turned out to be Xiaosi.

"Wei Shao, these four are brothers with great marksmanship in the Shao." Mengzi introduced them one by one.

Um!

Wei Jichen nodded slightly, then stood up and said: "Everyone is envious of the good guns in the hands of Brother Mengzi, but you don't have to be envious now, because I have got four more guns, and I am ready to hand them over to you. "

"Wow, it's really great. I'm not allowed to touch Brother Mengzi's gun on weekdays."

"That's right, I've always wanted one in my dreams."

The four of them almost jumped with excitement, their faces full of excitement, especially Xiaosi, whose eyes were almost motionless as he looked at the rifle placed next to Wei Jichen.

"Okay!" After the four of them calmed down a little, Wei Jichen put his hand down and stopped him: "This gun is hard-earned. If you lose it, it will be gone. You must take good care of it."

"Wei Shao, if I lose my gun, no matter how hard you punish me, it won't be too much." Xiaosi's smiling eyes narrowed into slits.

"That is, if the gun is there and the people are there, the gun will kill the people."

These four people did not ask about the origin of the guns. The Qing army's weapons came from a wide range of sources. They not only purchased them from Western countries, but also imitated and produced them themselves. Not to mention the soldiers, even the generals would be dazzled by the various rifles. .

What's more, in terms of appearance, this Mauser sniper rifle is not much different except that it is a little more beautiful than the old Mauser rifles used by everyone.

This is also the reason why Wei Jichen dares to buy casually.

"Wei Shao, you gave the boys this gun. Do you have any tasks for the boys to complete?" Xiaosi asked what a few people were thinking.

"Not bad!" Wei Jichen picked up the rifle and handed it to them one by one.

Then he continued: "I believe you have also seen that Mengzi killed countless Japanese generals with this gun."

Seeing Mengzi smiling happily at the side, Wei Jichen continued to joke: "He doesn't even bother to kill soldiers now. Therefore, I am going to form a team of sharpshooters who specialize in shooting Japanese officers, which means you are the ones." "

"From now on, you will follow Mengzi, practice your marksmanship to perfection, and then specialize as little Japanese officers. Do you understand?" Wei Jichen asked with a serious look.

"I know." Mengzi and the other five people quickly replied with their heads held high.

"Okay, now take off the gun and get familiar with it. The Japanese will attack at any time." Wei Jichen raised his hand and said.

Several people happily walked away holding their guns as if they were holding their wives.

Li Yunfei was directing the men to repair the fortifications. Ever since Wei Jichen handed over the digging methods of air raid shelters and individual soldier pits to the soldiers, he had become a hands-off shopkeeper.

The Japanese bombardment was very fierce yesterday and many defenses were destroyed. They have not been repaired since the Japanese retreated yesterday.

Before Wei Jichen could step forward, Li Yunfei had already walked over.

"Wei Shao, you old man made a big splash last night." Li Yunfei said with a smile on his face.

"Really? Why didn't I know?" Wei Jichen's relaxed look made people want to punch him.

The two joked for a while, and then got down to business.

"Yunfei, a group of new recruits will arrive soon. You have to keep a close eye on me. Don't let others take away the strong ones, leaving me with the old, weak, sick and disabled in the end." Wei Jichen will get what he got. The gossip came out.

There is one thing he didn't say, that is, Nie Shicheng told him yesterday that once the new recruits arrive, that is when he will be promoted to battalion officer.

In essence, the Huai Army can be said to be Li Hongzhang's private army. Most commanders have the final say in the appointment of officers at the level of battalion officers. They only need to report the list to the court afterwards.

And war is the best opportunity to expand troops. Think of Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, which slowly expanded during the war with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In today's Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, armies that fought fiercely had a greater chance of expansion, while armies that suffered too many losses after defeats naturally ended up being dismantled.

Therefore, Nie Shicheng's army is the 10th Battalion of Gongzi today, and it may become the 15th Battalion of Gongzi tomorrow.
