Super Dictator

In the official office of Ximu City, despite the roar of cannons across the moat, Fengsheng'a sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without any trace of panic on his face. The same was true for Nie Guilin, who was sitting opposite him.

The two of them drank tea calmly.

"I heard that both the Japanese 19th Regiment and the 7th Regiment went to Yushu Fort." Fengsheng'a took a sip of tea, put it down and said calmly.

"Wei Jichen poked a hornet's nest. I heard that he chopped off the heads of Japanese people in Mayang Town not long ago and built a Jingguan." Nie Guilin had obviously asked about this.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Fengsheng'a's lips, and he said softly: "Young people love to be in the limelight, and now they have tasted the pain of being in the limelight."

"General, if it hadn't been for Wei Jichen's pushy attitude, our city, Ximu City, would not have survived. So, we have to thank him for his pushy attitude." Nie Guilin touched the rim of his tea cup and said with a smile.

"In this way, Wei Jichen does not need our special care at all. After three days, we will withdraw from Ximu City, and Wei Jichen and the Japanese will still fight to the death." Fengsheng Ayin said with a sullen face.

Nie Guilin thought for a while and said with some worry: "I'm just afraid that someone will gossip and talk about the general behind his back and ignore his friendly troops."

Feng Sheng'a frowned, tapped a few fingers on the table, and said: "You are willing to die without saving anything? Didn't I just send a battalion of Yijun to support not long ago? Ignoring friendly forces? Three days later When we retreated, we notified all the armies, including Wei Jichen's Wei Zijun, and said, 'The enemy's forces are strong. In order to preserve their strength, they will try to fight again, and each army will break out on their own.' In this way, he himself was incompetent and could not escape from the Japanese encirclement. What does it matter if I wait?”

Just as Nie Guilin was about to speak, a sergeant reported to Ma Jinxu asking to see him.

Feng Sheng'a was interrupted from the conversation, with a hint of impatience on his face, he raised his hand and said, "Let him in."

"twitter!"

When Ma Jinxu came in and saw these two old guys still drinking tea leisurely, you can imagine how upset he felt. He thought that the war was in full swing and the soldiers in his hands were all fighting bloody battles.

"General, the 17th Regiment's offensive is fierce. I hope the general will send reinforcements." Ma Jinxu came to ask for help, so he had to say in a low voice.

Fengsheng'a touched his beard and said displeasedly: "Master Ma, why did you say this? Not long ago, you had some remaining troops to support Yushu Fort, but now you are asking me for help?"

"General, the enemy is attacking me alone. I am really powerless. If the Japanese invade the city, I will be responsible even if I die." Ma Jin said thoughtfully in his speech. .

Fengsheng Ayi thought that this city would have to be defended for two or three days. If Ma Jinxu's side was really attacked, he would have to flee for his life. If that was not possible, he would still have to send some reinforcements.

"That's it," Feng Sheng'a pondered for a moment, and then said, "I will support you with another battalion. No more will be used. If the city is destroyed, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Thank you, General!" Ma Jinxu clasped his fists and continued: "General, now the Japanese are attacking Yushu Fort with all their strength. Should the city send a support force to fight behind them?"

Fengsheng'a glanced at Ma Jinxu lightly, his face darkened, and he reprimanded: "I'm confused, which is more important, Ximu City or Yushu Fort? As long as Ximu City is defended, it doesn't matter if Yushu Fort is lost. If this is a Japanese plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, , once I send troops to attack, how can I defend the city by relying on the civilians who have not left?"

Feng Sheng'a's counter-examination left Ma Jinxu speechless and had to turn around and walk away gloomily. Fortunately, he had accomplished one thing.

"Zijie, it's all up to you. There's nothing I can do about it, brother." Ma Jinxu walked out and let out a long sigh.

At the headquarters of the 3rd Division, Katsura Taro looked at the battle situation information sent from below, and his face was almost so cold that water froze, making the surrounding staff members not dare to approach.

"Baga, it's such a small elm fort, but our army has suffered such heavy losses and has not made any progress." Katsura slammed the table with his hand and said angrily.

After an afternoon of fighting, the Wei Zijun repelled several Japanese attacks and firmly controlled the front line beyond the first line of defense. Katsura Taro saw that adding up the east and west fronts, the number of his own soldiers who had lost combat effectiveness reached more than 600 Of course people will be furious.

"Pass my order to Osako Naotoshi and Yamamura Ken. They must break through the first line of defense of Elm Castle before the sun sets, and prepare for the attack at night." Katsura Taro's closed eyes suddenly opened and he ordered loudly.

Katsura Taro decided to attack at night. On the one hand, the Chinese army did not have enough troops. After half a day of fighting, they would be extremely exhausted at night, and Katsura Taro still had a reserve team in hand. On the other hand, if the attack was carried out at night, Wei Zijun would The sharpshooter will definitely lose its effectiveness.

In the battle just one afternoon, the lower-ranking officers of the 7th Regiment and the 19th Regiment suffered heavy losses. This is also the reason why the first line of defense of Elm Fort has been unable to be breached.

Osako Naotoshi and Yamamura Ken, who received the death order of Katsura Taro, were also ready to fight for their lives this time.

The captain of the 19th Regiment, Takeru Yamamura, personally held a knife this time and prepared to lead the attack. It was not that he didn't know that the enemy had sharpshooters who were dedicated to dealing with his own officers, but that he really had no choice. The two captains in his hands were already broken. There was only one captain left. Every time he charged, he would not dare to move after running halfway.

Yamamura Ken asked the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment to aim all the muzzles at one place. This time they only bombed a point on the forward position of Yushu Fort. He did not believe that the Chinese army's fortifications would be so strong.

As Yamamura Ken gave the order, thousands of bombs were fired suddenly, falling at the same place. Although there would be some error in the landing distance, there would always be a large number of bombs falling together.

Boom, boom.

White light flashed, and pieces of land were leveled, and huge craters appeared on the Chinese positions.

Wei Jichen was hiding in the air-raid shelter. Although his ears were stuffed with cotton wool, he was almost stunned by the momentum.

Swish, swish, a large amount of soil shook out from the air-raid shelter, and there was another bang. The ground shook, like a big earthquake, creaking, and a support wood finally couldn't bear it and broke.

The entire air raid shelter was crumbling, with countless rocks and soil falling straight down.

Ahem,…

Wei Jichen buried his head in his arms to prevent head injury.

"Sir!" Wang Huaiqing, who was staying with him, shouted and suddenly threw himself on him, protecting him tightly. Then Wei Jichen heard a crash and a pile of mud and rocks crashed down.

The Japanese artillery regiment bombarded continuously for nearly half an hour before giving up. Wei Jichen, who was shocked and dizzy, finally woke up.

He saw that he and Wang Huaiqing had been completely buried in the mud.

"Huaiqing." Wei Jichen stretched out his hand and pushed upwards, exclaiming.

"Sir, are you okay?" Wang Huaiqing asked aloud as he squeezed out from behind.

Wei Jichen felt relieved and said, "It's okay, I thought we were buried alive."

The two people got out of the dirt pile and saw everything they could see. After countless bombings throughout the afternoon, and this prolonged bombing, countless air-raid shelters that had many functions had been bombed and collapsed.

Some soldiers were emerging from the air-raid shelters with disgrace, but there was no movement from some air-raid shelters.

"Sir!" Cheng Bushi limped over with a few scratches on his face.

Wei Jichen glanced around and said, "Save people and retreat to the second line of defense."

The sergeants who were buried alive in the air-raid shelter were either stunned or lost the ability to move. Very few of them were directly killed, so Wei Jichen immediately issued an order to save them.

The uninjured sergeants acted quickly, first using a shovel, and then digging carefully with their hands. Not long after, each of the sergeants was rescued and hurriedly carried to the rear for treatment.

Wei Jichen glanced at the bombed-out place, then looked at the Japanese soldiers in front of the position who were charging like ghosts and howling like wolves. He turned around with the remaining soldiers and headed for the second defense circle.

Kill, Yamamura Ken is already ready to smash the jade into pieces. He holds the command sword high and follows the flag guard, which greatly boosts the morale of the Japanese army.

Yamamura Ken directed the soldiers towards the defense line that had just been bombed. To his surprise, there was really little resistance from the enemy position.

Yoxi, I’ll see if you’re not dead this time.

Like locusts, the Japanese soldiers quickly rushed into the trenches and occupied them almost effortlessly. Ken Yamamura was overjoyed and jumped in quickly. Seeing the trenches that were bumpy and uneven due to bombing, he couldn't help but smile and said to the soldiers: " Continue the pursuit and take advantage of the victory to capture the Chinese second line of defense.”

"Colonel, we found several passages, and there were guns and ammunition left by the Qing army in the passages. It seems that they retreated from here, and they retreated in an extremely embarrassing manner." A sergeant reported to Yamamura Ken.

"Pursue, chase from here." Yamamura Ken urged in a surprised voice, as if he was afraid that these passages would disappear all of a sudden.

It is unknown how many people will be lost in attacking from the ground, but from this passage deep into the enemy's hinterland, especially when the enemy has just suffered heavy losses, it may be possible to achieve miraculous results.

After hearing Ken Yamamura's order, more than two hundred soldiers ducked into the passage without hesitation. Just as Ken Yamamura was about to go in, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering bombing sound.

With a rumble, the passage immediately collapsed, and more than two hundred Japanese soldiers were buried alive inside.

It turned out that Wei Jichen had people bury a large amount of explosives in the passage. As soon as the observing sergeant saw the Japanese following, he ordered people to light the explosives, killing countless Japanese at once.

Yamamura Ken glanced at the deeply sunken surface with lingering fear. The lower body of a soldier was still outside, but the upper body was buried in it. Yamamura Ken had someone drag him out, and only half of his body was pulled out.

If he hadn't been a step too late just now, Yu Shai might have been here. Yamamura Ken no longer dared to be careless. This Elm Castle was full of traps, and every step was a crisis.
