Super dictator.

Nie Cairong looked at Ma Jinxu pleadingly at the Yi army's defensive garrison in the northeast area of ​​Ximu City.

"Uncle Ma, please consider your friendship with my uncle and send troops to rescue Elm Castle." Nie Cairong looked at him without blinking.

"Rongcai, wait a moment, I have reported this matter to General Feng, I believe there will be news soon." Ma Jinxu said helplessly.

Ma Jinxu didn't know why Wei Jichen suddenly sent someone to ask him for help, but because of the friendship between the two, Ma Jinxu still reported the situation to Feng Sheng'a, saying that he was willing to send troops to support Elm Castle.

"How could Feng Sheng agree to your request!" Nie Cairong said dejectedly.

At this time, a sergeant walked into the room, and whispered next to Ma Jinxu's ear: "My lord, according to the current news, both the 7th Japanese Infantry Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment went to Elm Castle, and only the 17th Infantry Regiment The alliance is coming to our analysis wood city."

Could it be that Ma Jinxu's expression changed, and he finally understood why Wei Jichen asked him for help.

Although the sergeant spoke softly, Nie Cairong, who had ears pricked up, listened to him intently. Nie Cairong was a little flustered, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Uncle Ma, please save my elder brother's life."

She almost fell to her knees.

Seeing this, Ma Jinxu didn't know what to do. The old fellow Feng Sheng hadn't heard from him yet. He walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, and finally made up his mind to support Wei Jichen even if he was scolded by Feng Sheng. .

"Rongcai, don't worry, I, Ma Jinxu, am not a person who will not save me. I have three battalions in my hand, so I will send two battalions to Elm Castle." Ma Jinxu said with a serious face. The reason why he dared to do this is because Because there is more than one army like him in the city, Feng Sheng'a will definitely not sit back and watch his defense direction be breached.

Nie Cairong was overjoyed, Ma Jinxu was about to issue a transfer order.

But another sergeant hurried in.

"My lord, something is wrong. The Japanese 17th Regiment came straight to my moat."

An hour ago, Sato, the captain of the 17th Regiment, was putting down his binoculars and said to the messenger, "Start the attack from the northeast direction of Ximu City."

The staff officer next to him asked incomprehensibly, "Your Majesty, there is a moat in the northeast of Ximu City, which is not the best area to attack. Why did Your Excellency choose this direction as the direction of attack?"

Sato smiled lightly and explained: "According to the divisional staff's combat plan, our 17th Regiment is now only feigning to attack Ximu City to prevent the troops in the city from supporting Yushu Fort, and the defending army in the northeast is from the Chinese Ma Jinxu. The Yi army, Ma Jinxu and Wei Jichen once fought side by side, and they are the army most likely to support Elm Castle in the city, so I chose this direction as the direction of attack."

"So that's it. Your Excellency, Colonel, really understands the situation of the enemy army very clearly." The staff officer nodded and said suddenly.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and win every battle, this is an old Chinese saying, but it seems that the Chinese people have forgotten this sentence." Sato said proudly.

Therefore, Ma Jinxu received this information.

"What!" Ma Jinxu yelled. He didn't expect that the Japanese would come so quickly, and they took the area he was defending as the main direction of attack. It would take a while to draw troops from here, and it would take a while for Feng Sheng'a to send troops to support him.

During this period of time, if the troops were too empty and the Japanese attacked violently, Ma Jinxu didn't know whether he could hold it, so he couldn't say the transfer order he just issued.

"Uncle Ma." Seeing Ma Jinxu's repentance, Nie Cairong hastily called out.

"Rongcai, you also know the current situation, so you will transfer a battalion of troops from our army. I will not be able to help you if there are more." Ma Jinxu gritted his teeth and issued the transfer order. The one he transferred was Ma Yujiao, who had fought side by side with Wei Jichen. That battalion.

After Ma Yujiao received the order, he didn't dare to stay, and quickly returned to the camp to prepare to set off.

Nie Cairong also knew that it was very rare for Ma Jinxu to be able to support a battalion under the current situation, so he didn't say more, but said goodbye with fists in his hands: "Thank you for today's matter, Uncle Ma, if Rongcai can survive, he The day will surely repay you."

After going out, he saw Wang Huaiqing leading several soldiers waiting for him at the door.

Nie Cairong smiled and said, "Come on, the matter is over. Uncle Ma has dispatched a battalion to support Elm Castle, so we will go ahead."

Unexpectedly, Wang Huaiqing raised his hand, and two soldiers stepped forward to set up Nie Cairong and dragged him to a side room.

Nie Cairong was taken aback for a moment, but then she came to her senses, and while struggling, she immediately asked, "Uncle Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Huaiqing walked behind, allowing Nie Cairong to scold and question, but didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Nie Cairong was carried into the room by two soldiers that Wang Huaiqing raised his hand and said, "Go out first and watch the door. I have something to talk to Officer Nie."

The two soldiers walked out as promised, Wang Huaiqing turned around, looked at the angry Nie Cairong, and said with a wry smile: "Miss, don't blame me, Master Wei asked me to do this."

Nie Cairong looked bewildered, and murmured: "Brother, why is this!" Then he realized that it must be that Wei Jichen felt that this battle was not good and would not let her go back to the dangerous place.

"Brother Wei." Nie Cairong's eyes were red with tears rolling inside, and he said, "Uncle Wang, tell me to go back, I will only be more anxious if I stay here."

"I'm sorry, miss, Master Wei has issued a death order. I won't let you go unless this battle is over. Miss, you have to understand Master Wei's painstaking efforts. I think you understand now. The Japanese are going to besiege Yushu Castle on all sides, how can you, a girl, be in such a dangerous place easily." Wang Huaiqing persuaded earnestly.

"Girl, girl, have I not been as good as a man during this time? Although I am a woman, I also know that the more difficult the time is, the more I can't turn my back on Wei Zijun. Uncle Wang, you go back with me, are you Brother Wei's personal soldier captain, is it true that the personal soldier captain is like this, putting the general in a dangerous place, but hiding here to live in peace, could it be that my grandfather taught you like this." Nie Cairong stood up, with an angry expression on his face Pointing at Wang Huaiqing, he said.

Wang Huaiqing's face was flushed red by her words, and she couldn't be more ashamed.

"Miss, this subordinate will go back now, but you can't leave this place without Master Wei's order. I will let the other two soldiers guard you, and let Zongbing Ma take care of you." Wang Huaiqing didn't turn his head. turned around and walked away.

"Hey, hello, Uncle Wang, you take me with you." Nie Cairong chased to the door, but the door was suddenly closed, and someone outside locked it with a clang sound.

Nie Cairong walked back helplessly, sat on the bed, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said, "Big villain, big villain, you only know how to lie to others, and you said you died in the same year, the same month, and the same day, and now you get me away when something happens. .”

To the northwest of Yushu Fort is the road back towards Haicheng. The Japanese 7th Wing has already built a simple fortification here. Of course, they are here to attack, not to defend.

Therefore, after the Japanese army built some simple trenches, they stopped to prepare for the attack.

Dazhao Shangmin took Miyoshi, the captain of the 7th Wing, and a group of staff to check the deployment of the Wei Zijun in Yushubao.

Riding on horseback to a high ground, Shang Min raised the binoculars in his hand, and saw the figures of Yushubao, appearing and disappearing from time to time, with trenches, ravines, and fortresses.

Wei Jichen put a lot of effort into this, forcing Shang Min to sigh inwardly. To capture this place, I don't know how many warriors of the Japanese Empire will sacrifice their lives, but as long as Wei Jichen is killed, it's all worth it.

Wei Jun, if you didn't run away last night, it would be the biggest mistake in your life, forcing Shang Min to sneer.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division has sent an order to suspend the attack and wait until the third field artillery regiment arrives before attacking." A messenger conveyed Gui Taro's order.

Gui Taro set up the division headquarters in the 5th Regiment of the 19th Brigade, which was able to dispatch and command Japanese troops in several areas. The 3rd Regiment of the Field Artillery was a little behind because of its heavy baggage, but it was not far from Fort Elm. Far.

Gui Tailang observed Wei Zijun's position as soon as he arrived, and felt that it was impossible to attack without bombardment, and he couldn't speak.

Dali Shangmin nodded and said, "Just let Wei Jichen live for a while longer. I have waited for so long, and I don't care about such a little time."

After Dapu Shangmin finished speaking, as if sensing something, Huo Di turned his horse's head all of a sudden, raised his binoculars and looked at the Chinese defenders' position again.

Seeing this, Miyoshi asked aloud, "Major General, what happened!"

"Wei Jichen!" These words were coldly squeezed out between the teeth of Dali Shangmin.

In Dazhang Shangmin's telescope, Wei Jichen was standing on the first line of defense of Fort Elm, with his hands behind his back, observing the enemy's situation.

There seemed to be a sense of interaction between each other, Dazuo Shangmin noticed Wei Jichen, and Wei Jichen in Elm Castle also noticed Dazuo Shangmin.

Looking coldly in the direction of Dazai Shangmin, Wei Jichen smiled and said to the surrounding generals: "It seems that the officers of the 7th Japanese regiment are also investigating the situation. I don't know what they will think when they see our defensive line."

The entire Elm Fort was dug into circles one after another by Wei Zijun. The arc-shaped defensive front could allow troops from other directions to quickly reinforce, and the middle between the first arc-shaped defensive front and the second was also hollowed out. , there are several passages, so that if the first arc is broken, it will immediately retreat to the second arc.

Explosives are buried in the passage between the two arc lines. Once the Japanese want to follow the retreating footsteps of the Chinese soldiers, they will be buried underground with a bang.

"Pin Qing, fire a cannon over there to frighten the little devil." Wei Jichen couldn't help but smile and said to Wang Shizhen behind him when he saw Dabao Shangmin looking at him with a binoculars.

Wang Shizhen shook her head silently. With such a long distance, it is impossible for the shells to fall in front of the group of Japanese. It seems that Mr. Wei is still young at heart.

Although Wang Shizhen felt sorry for Wei Jichen in his heart, he replied, "Then let's fire."

Not long after the order was passed down, a loud bang suddenly came from behind the Chinese position.

Then thick smoke rose, and a shell landed a long distance in front of Daza Shangmin.

A loud bang made Shang Min jump, and the fore hooves of the army horse raised up slightly when he sat down.

Forcing Shang Min to raise his binoculars, he saw Wei Jichen and a few Chinese people laughing and rolling forward and backward, his face turned livid, he pulled the reins and said, "Let's go!"
