Super dictator.

It is said that longing passes through time and space, Wei Jichen somehow felt a little out of his mind these past few days, for some reason he suddenly thought of Su Zhiniang who was far away in Tianjin.

From the memories of the original owner of this body, Wei Jichen could feel that the former little scholar was deeply attached to Su Zhiniang and a little uncomfortable. What kind of woman Su Zhiniang was.

The image of her picking up the bucket with her thin shoulders kept flashing in her mind, the image of her quietly watching Xiao Xiucai reading at the door, the image of her soft words encouraging Xiao Xiucai to go to Beijing for the exam, the image of her preparing to join the army when Xiao Xiucai It looked like a few taels of silver secretly stuffed into the package before.

The original owner is really an old-fashioned and useless man. Although he sometimes feels a little unbearable in his heart, the mentality of a proud literati makes him unwilling to put down his body and do some small things within his power. He repeated the accusation several times, thinking that he was humiliating the family and doing a cheap job.

It's no wonder that after the young scholar joined the army, he only sent back some military pay every month, and often only had a few words. Wei Jichen remembered that after receiving the pay from Yuan Shikai last time, he entrusted someone to take all the silver back. It didn't take long. Su Zhiniang should understand receive.

It can be regarded as paying off some debts for the former owner. I hope that after receiving the silver, her life will improve and she will no longer need to work all day.

Thinking of this, Wei Jichen felt a little more at ease, and he calmed down from time to time. The Japanese forward was only a few dozen miles away from Ximu City, and the main force of the 5th Brigade led by Dazai Shangmin was not far away. The 6th Brigade has also set off, and the 3rd Division has all its main forces out. A big battle is inevitable.

Gui Tailang's plan this time is very big. He must have wanted to capture Ximu City in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue Haicheng in winter, preparing for the attack on Liaoshen and Fengtian after the spring thaw in the next year.

Wei Jichen couldn't sit still anymore, but took a few soldiers to check the construction of the fortifications.

The fortification position has basically been built, but Li Yunfei and Cheng Bushi did not relax, they still ordered the soldiers to reinforce and dig deep trenches.

Seeing Wei Jichen passing by, these soldiers stood aside, saluting non-stop. Seeing the young faces, Wei Jichen couldn't help thinking, if in modern times, these soldiers might still be growing up carefree in school , They are all treasures that parents are afraid of melting in their mouths.

When Wei Jichen distributed the food and pay in the past, he personally supervised it, and the officers were strictly prohibited from deducting it. The soldiers received a lot of military pay. Therefore, Wei Jichen's status in the minds of these soldiers is getting higher and higher.

In this way, he can not only lead himself to wait for the people to win the battle, but also treat the generals who are good soldiers. Where to look for them, many soldiers will sincerely surrender to Wei Jichen from the heart.

Wei Jichen walked all the way, encouraging the soldiers from time to time, and praising the soldiers from time to time. This action made the soldiers with high morale already full of enthusiasm.

The artillery position is the most important. Wei Jichen first went to the artillery position to inspect. Wang Shizhen's position was set in Yushubao Village, which happened to be able to bomb the front of the infantry defense position. It can also effectively kill and wound the infantry when the Japanese attack.

"My lord." Wang Shizhen, who was instructing the soldiers to carry the shells, saw Wei Jichen approaching, so he couldn't help but stop and salute.

Wei Jichen took a few glances at the setting of the position, nodded in satisfaction, and then jokingly said: "Pin Qing, this time you want good steel to use on the blade, and don't want to spend money like you did last time."

I don't know how long this battle will last, which is why Wei Jichen said so.

Wang Shizhen has always been unsmiling, and when she heard Wei Jichen say this, she also showed a rare smile, and said: "This subordinate has seen the methods of adults. It hasn't been long. Not only have the shells been replenished, but there are many more. If this subordinate Use it up again, I believe there will be more next time.”

"Okay, recruiter, it turned out that was the idea. It seems that I will send you less shells next time." Wei Jichen replied with a smile.

"My lord, this time our army is guarding Elm Castle alone, and the subordinates are afraid that they will be alone." Wang Shizhen said softly, already pointing.

Wei Jichen thought for a while and replied with a smile: "Pinqing is afraid that there will be no support in the city. Don't worry, Elm Castle can be attacked and defended. If we can't resist, I, Wei Jichen, will not joke about the lives of my brothers, so let him be rich." Sheng'a went to play with the Japanese alone."

Wei Jichen didn't know he was in the middle of the game. He didn't know that his value in the eyes of the Japanese had already surpassed that of Ximu City. He would have expected that the Japanese would let Ximu City not attack and set the main target on him.

When Wang Shizhen heard what Wei Jichen said, he also laughed. Since Wei Zijun came here, he has been deliberately squeezed out by the army in the city, and he is naturally unhappy for a long time.

Then Wei Jichen went through all the positions one by one, and then returned to his temporary command post satisfied.

In Ximu City, Feng Sheng'a and Nie Guilin are conspiring alone.

Although Feng Sheng'a told the generals with certainty that the imperial reinforcements were coming soon, but he himself knew that he didn't know when it would be soon.

"General, the Japanese people are powerful, what should I do if I wait for an isolated city." Without outsiders, Nie Guilin has no scruples in speaking.

The corner of Feng Sheng's mouth twitched, he was more afraid of death than anyone else, he finally climbed to such a high position, and he didn't enjoy it well, and he felt a little worthless if he went on like this.

"Don't worry! As long as you resist for a day or two, explain to the court, and then retreat to Haicheng, I believe the court will not blame you." Feng Sheng said calmly.

Nie Guilin thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's good to retreat to Haicheng, but you can't be chased by the Japanese like last time. Last time, you were lucky. If this time is like last time, can you It’s really hard to say how to escape.”

Feng Sheng frowned, and said after a while: "Let that kid Wei Jichen cut off the way when he escapes this time. If he doesn't follow, he will be dealt with by military law. If he does, it's not in line with our intentions. He Wei Zijun Isn't he very powerful? Let him fight the Japanese to the death and earn some time for us to retreat."

"But I don't know if Wei Jichen will listen to the general. After all, he wants to run away deliberately, and there is nothing he can do about it." Nie Guilin, who often regards military law as nothing, of course treats a gentleman with a villain's heart Stomach.

Feng Sheng touched his beard, and then said in a neutral manner: "This is a problem, but as long as I don't notify him when I retreat, even if he doesn't want to be the one who breaks the road, he has to do it for him." .”

Nie Guilin showed joy on his face, and said with a smile: "The general has a great plan."

The 5th Infantry Regiment of the 7th Japanese Brigade was temporarily stationed here. As expected, according to his previous plan, Shang Min had already arrived here one step ahead.

Miyoshi Chengxing, the captain of the 7th regiment, looked puzzled at Dasa Shangmin who had just given the order to rest on the spot.

He has not yet learned of the battle plan formulated by the 3rd Division Staff Headquarters, he just got an order to attack Ximu City.

"Your Excellency, Major General, as it is still early in the day, our army can still advance a few miles, and then prepare for the siege of the city tomorrow." Miyoshi made a trip. I don't know why the oppressed Shangmin delays time.

Dazhao Shangmin shook his head, and said in a calm manner: "General, if we advance a few miles, we will be within the sphere of influence of the Chinese, and they will be able to know the movements of our army at any time."

Miyoshi made a trip, I don't understand, attacking Ximu City, even if the Chinese people know the movements of our army, it doesn't matter.

Dazhao Shangmin glanced at him lightly, and continued: "Our goal is not Ximu City, but Yushu Fort. Now take a short break. At night, our Imperial Japanese Army will march rapidly. We need to get here before the Chinese react. Then quickly build the fortifications."

Dazai Shangmin pointed to a point on the map on the road leading to Haicheng.

This cut off the retreat route from Yushubao to Haicheng. Miyoshi Chengxing was startled and said, "Major General, in this way, our army is not strong enough to attack Ximucheng. What if the Chinese army in Ximucheng goes out to support? Is good."

Dapu Shangmin smiled faintly, and said: "Do you think the Chinese army in Ximu City is our Great Japanese Imperial Army? They don't have the guts yet."

If the 7th Infantry Regiment arrives at the scheduled location tomorrow, it will be under pressure from both Ximucheng and Yushubao. If the troops of the two places move quickly and attack left and right, they will defeat the 7th Regiment in one fell swoop before the Japanese follow-up troops arrive. Dazao Shangmin will not even have a place to cry.

However, although Shang Min was a little risky, he calculated the timid and cowardly mind of Feng Sheng in Ximu City.

Seeing Miyoshi's trip, Shangmin looked a little nervous, so he couldn't help but relieved: "Mr. Sanhao, as long as the 7th regiment stands here and cuts off Wei Jichen's retreat, when my follow-up army presses up, Wei Jichen will be unable to escape. I will close the door and fight." Dog, the truth is to wipe out Wei Zijun, Miyoshi-kun, as a warrior of the Great Japanese Empire, have you lost the courage of the samurai?"

Speaking of this, Dazao Shangmin's expression became stern, and his eyes looked at Miyoshi Chengxing like ice.

"Your Excellency, I am too cowardly, please punish me." Miyoshi Chengxing hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head to plead guilty.

Dapu Shangmin waved his hand and said: "Go down, pretend that the army is temporarily advancing and resting to paralyze and confuse the Chinese army. After dark, our army will advance rapidly."

"Hi Yi!" Miyoshi walked back slowly with his head down.

"Fengsheng, I hope you don't let me down." After Miyoshi exited in a row, Dazai Shangmin murmured to himself.
