Super dictator.

Wei Jichen checked the entire project of the system, big and small, and then backed out with a sigh. He was worried about the main task.

Recovering the lost ground is not easy. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese army has been passively defending, and there have been few counterattacks at all. Wei Jichen does not believe that Nie Shicheng will consider how to counterattack after this victory.

The most ideal situation is that Nie Shicheng will not consider counterattack until the Japanese are helpless against the Dakaolin defense line and cannot attack for a long time.

Therefore, the most important thing during this period is to defend the position. Fortunately, as the defensive side, it must occupy a favorable position, so that the devils can be killed happily.

Of course, just like what Mengzi said, killing ordinary little devils is a waste of bullets, and if you want to kill them, kill Japanese generals.

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

The [-]th brigade of the Japanese people in Caohekou is stationed.

The Tenth Brigade retreated tens of miles today until it reached the mouth of Caohe River. After seeing Shangwen, he ordered the army to stop retreating and set up camp on the spot.

Lijian Shangwen was very happy that he escaped from the enemy's encirclement and had insight into Nie Shicheng's plot, but it didn't take long for this joy to turn into anger.

Because he later learned the news that the number of Qing troops stationed in Dakaoling was not hidden, and the Qing army did not pursue large-scale pursuit after he led the troops to retreat.

Everything shows that he has been tricked, and he has been tricked thoroughly.

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

The staff officer Xiao Masaki who was kneeling across from the coffee table looked at Lijian Shangwen with some concern, for fear that he would lose his mind and make a wrong decision.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Shangwen crushing the teacup, he seemed to let out a bad breath, and the expression on his face gradually changed from anger to calm.

Then, Lijian Shangwen smiled softly, and said lightly: "The Chinese people can only use some tricks. Tomorrow, Lijian Shangwen will let them see what is strength and what is irresistible."

"Major General, what you said is true. It is precisely because of lack of strength that the Chinese people resorted to such a poor strategy. Otherwise, they would not dare to step forward when our army is in a hurry to retreat today." Xiao Zhengshu nodded and said. go along.

After a pause, Lijian Shangwen asked again: "By the way, has the identity of the enemy commander in today's main offensive position been found out?"

Xiao Zhengshu took out a document from the folder, put 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, Japan’s intelligence agencies played an important role, and the espionage activities were rampant. In addition, the Qing government did not pay attention to secrecy at that time. Countless important intelligence was continuously collected by the Japanese from the rear of the Qing army, and then passed back to the front. .

Even before the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Li Hongzhang took the head of Japanese intelligence to check his Lushun military base in a showy manner, showing the country's sharp weapons to others, so that the military deployment map was easily known to the Japanese army.

I don't know if Li Hongzhang regrets his original decision now that Japan is launching a war of aggression against China.

Seeing that Shangwen was interested, he opened the file with a serious face, and he valued the enemy general who repelled his attack several times today.

"Wei Jichen is currently a sentry officer in the Luyu Defense Army. Before he joined the army, he was a lowly scholar. He was captured by our army. He blew up an arsenal in our army's Jiulian City and escaped After Liancheng, he ambushed and killed Saito Zhengqi,..."

Lijian Shangwen became more and more surprised when he looked at him, and found that Wei Jichen was like the nemesis of his Tenth Brigade. When he escaped from the prison camp, he killed the generals of the rank of second lieutenant and captain. Not long after returning to the Qing army, he died again Killed one of his majors and some other officers.

"Wei Jichen's information is not detailed enough, let the intelligence department send me his information continuously." Lijian Shangwen said with a gloomy face.

Xiao Zhengshu agreed without hesitation, and then said: "Jin Tianzheng has always responded to the staff that the fortifications of Wei Jichen's defensive positions are very different from those of the Qing army in the past, and can effectively stop our army from advancing. Some soldiers in the army also responded after the battle, Wei Jichen's position did not seem to have lost many people after the bombardment."

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

Lijian Shangwen now regrets that he didn't carefully study some changes in the Qing army's position before the battle, otherwise he might be able to capture Dakaoling today, but at this time, he has regretted it and can only adjust his offensive strategy.

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

The Japanese are coming aggressively, and they will certainly not stop advancing because of the setback in yesterday's attack.

After coming out of Hu Dianjia's tent, Wei Jichen went to the defensive position with five Mauser sniper rifles, which he bought from the system after he got up this morning and spent 1250 merit points.

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

After killing Wutian Xiushan, Wei Jichen tasted the sweetness. He planned to select four people with outstanding marksmanship from among the sergeants, and then form a five-member sniper team, led by Meng Zi, to shoot and kill the enemy generals.

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

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

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

"Mengzi, come here!" Wei Jichen couldn't help yelling with a smile when he saw Mengzi was cleaning his rifle.

"Wei Shao, you're here." Meng Zi didn't know that he had made great achievements yesterday, so he walked over with a simple and 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 indifferently.

"It's a Japanese major, you just wait to get promoted and get rich!" Wei Jichen surprised him with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Mengzi groaned for a long time before touching his forehead, and asked with some doubts: "Young Master, is it a very big general?"

Wei Jichen smiled mischievously, feeling that he had a hot face on a cold ass, and he was happy for him for a long time, but he didn't care.

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

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

Birds of a feather flock together!

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

Mengzi didn't ask any more questions, but left immediately after answering.

Not long after, he led four soldiers over, and to Wei Jichen's surprise, one of them was Xiaosi.

"Wei Shao, these four are brothers with good marksmanship." Meng Zi introduced them one by one.

Ah!

Wei Jichen nodded lightly, then stood up and said, "Everyone is envious of the good guns in Brother Mengzi's hands, but you don't have to envy them now, because I got four more guns, and I'm going to give these guns to you. "

"Wow, really, that's great. I'm not even allowed to touch Brother Mengzi's gun."

"That's right, I want one even in my dreams."

The four of them almost jumped up in excitement, with excited faces, especially Xiao Si, whose eyes were almost motionless looking at the rifle placed beside Wei Jichen.

"Okay!" After the four of them calmed down a little, Wei Jichen pressed his hands down and stopped him: "This gun is hard to come by, if you lose it, it will be gone. You should take good care of it."

"Wei Shao, if I lose the gun, no matter how much you punish me, it won't be too much." Xiao Si narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"That is, the gun is there, and the gun is dead."

These four people did not ask about the origin of the guns. The Qing army had a wide range of sources of weapons. They not only bought them from Western countries, but also produced their own imitations. Not to mention soldiers, even generals would be dazzled by all kinds of rifles. .

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

This is why Wei Jichen dared to buy casually.

"Wei Shao, you gave the boys this gun, is there any task for the boys to complete?" Xiao Si asked what they 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 Meng Zi killed countless Japanese generals with this gun."

Seeing Mengzi smiling cheerfully, Wei Jichen continued jokingly: "He, he doesn't even bother to kill soldiers now. Therefore, I am going to form a team of sharpshooters to shoot and kill Japanese officers, just you guys. "

"From now on, you will follow Meng Zi and practice marksmanship to perfection, and then specialize in serving as little Japanese officers, do you understand?" Wei Jichen asked with a serious expression.

"Understood." Mengzi and the other five hurriedly replied with their heads held high.

"Okay, now take down the gun and familiarize yourself with it, the Japanese will attack at some point." Wei Jichen raised his hand and said.

Several people happily walked away with guns in their arms as if they were their daughter-in-law.

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 bombarded them fiercely yesterday, blowing up many fortifications, and they have not been repaired since the Japanese retreated yesterday.

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

"Wei Shao, your old man was a big hit last night." Li Yunfei said with a smile on his face,

"Is there? Why didn't I know?" Wei Jichen's relaxed expression made people want to beat him up.

The two chatted and laughed a few more words before they got down to business.

"Yunfei, there will be a group of recruits arriving soon, you have to keep an eye on me, don't let other people pick those strong ones away, and leave me some old, weak, sick and disabled in the end." Wei Jichen took his own The gossip has come out.

There is one more thing he didn't say, that is, Nie Shicheng had already told him yesterday that once the 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 soldiers. Most of the commanders are in charge of the appointment of officers at the level of battalion officers. Afterwards, they only need to report the list to the court.

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

However, in today's Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], it is natural that the chances of expanding the army that fought hard are higher, and the army that lost the battle and lost too much will naturally end up withdrawn.

So Nie Shicheng's army is the [-]th Battalion of Gongzi today, and it may become the [-]th Battalion of Gongzi tomorrow.
