Super dictator.

The night's sneak attack failed, and even the captain of the alliance, Yamamura Ken, committed suicide by caesarean section, which caused the morale of the Japanese side to plummet and the attack was frustrated.

Gui Tailang spent the whole morning mobilizing troops and generals, regrouping, and transferred Dazhao Shangmin from the northwest line to the northeast line to command operations, and Miyoshi Chengxing was temporarily in charge of the northwest line.

Due to the steeper terrain in the southeast and northeast of Yushubao, Gui Tailang did not regard the two directions as the main attack direction, and Wei Jichen did the same. In addition to sending Ma Yujiao and a small amount of troops here to prevent Japanese surprise attacks, he also put his main energy on northern line.

Taking advantage of the rare rest time, Wei Jichen sent a few waves of communication soldiers to Ximu City for help. Of course, he also knew in his heart that it was unlikely that Feng Sheng'a would send troops to help, but there are some things that you must do when you know the outcome.

In this way, once Wei Zi's army retreats, Xiang Xiang can argue with Feng Sheng by not adding reinforcements in the city.

At this time, Wei Jichen really missed the days when he was in Dakaoling. Although there were filth among the various armies, at least Nie Shicheng was able to shock the scene and overwhelm the generals, and he did things fairly. It's a situation of sitting and watching friendly troops being attacked.

At the front of the position, Wei Jichen in the trench watched the Japanese in the distance packing up the corpses killed in last night's sneak attack.

Apart from screaming in his heart that he was lucky, Wei Jichen also admired his own luck. If he hadn't ordered Cheng Bushi to throw the flammable wood and thatch over there earlier, how could he have achieved such a great victory last night.

It has to be said that war itself is full of many unpredictable factors, and luck, a seemingly ethereal thing, can sometimes determine the victory of a battle. I remember that during World War I or World War II, the Allied soldiers were The indiscriminate firing actually hit an important arsenal of the enemy, which led to the victory of a battle.

"How's the ammunition consumption?" Wei Jichen was silent for a while, and suddenly asked Cheng Bushi.

"About [-]% has been consumed." Cheng Bushi reported an approximate figure.

Wei Jichen sighed and said, "It won't last long, the day and night of fighting has consumed so much."

There was no way around this, the Japanese attacked on several sides at the same time, even if they wanted to save some money, they couldn't save it.

Wei Jichen asked again: "How about the casualties of the soldiers?"

Cheng Buzhi's expression was a little gloomy, and he closed his eyes and said, "Our brothers Wei Zijun and Yijun lost more than 300 combat effectiveness, and 200 of them died."

The number of victims included those who were killed on the spot and those who were seriously injured afterward and could not be cured.

"Let's go, let's go back to the headquarters to hold a combat meeting." Wei Jichen had already made a decision in his heart, that is, to break out tonight, Wei Zijun and Yi Jun combined only had more than 500 people, and the number of battles in one day and one night reduced by as much as three one-third.

After a while, all the generals gathered in the headquarters to discuss the matter of breaking out tonight.

Wei Jichen sat in the middle of the head, and Li Yunfei, Cheng Bushi, Ma Yujiao, Xiao Monk, Zhang Meng, Zhao Hu, Wang Shizhen, Zhang Zuolin and others stood on both sides.

On the middle table was a huge marching map.

All the generals looked solemn, and when Wei Jichen said that he was going to break through, no one expressed surprise.

In the current situation, the Chinese side won two battles in a row, which greatly hit the arrogance of the Japanese. Unfortunately, their own casualties were not small. If they did not break through, there would always be a time when they ran out of ammunition and food.

"Master Wei, I don't know which direction our army is going to break out of, is it going to Haicheng or Ximucheng?" After Wei Jichen finished his intention, the first person to ask was Ma Yuyou, the officer of the Yi Army Battalion.

The 7th Japanese Infantry Regiment cut off the road from Yushubao to Haicheng. The 17th Japanese Regiment pretended to attack Ximucheng to prevent the troops in the city from rescuing Yushubao. The 19th Japanese Regiment attacked Yushubao head-on.

There are Japanese troops stationed in three directions, breaking out to the 19th Regiment is to go deep into the hinterland of the Japanese.

In fact, it is a good choice to break out in the direction of Ximu City. As long as the army in the city comes out to respond, all the troops will work together. In addition, Wei Zijun has killed and wounded many Japanese soldiers in the past two days. It is not wishful thinking to defend and counterattack. It is a pity that Fengsheng is too hard Pen, don't talk about it.

Then the last option left is to break through the position of the 7th Regiment. The 7th Regiment did not have as many casualties as the 19th Regiment yesterday, because the purpose of the 7th Regiment was to cut off the retreat route of Elm Castle and prevent Wei Jichen from escaping. Yes, yesterday's offense was of course reserved.

But it was Ma Yujiao who asked, so Wei Jichen couldn't answer directly. Others came to save you with good intentions. You can't be ungrateful and throw aside the other troops of Yi Army. Ma Jinxu in Ximu City is still fighting fiercely.

Wei Jichen was hard to say, but he had no worries about other things. Cheng Bushi said with a cold face: "I have to say this. Naturally, I broke out in the direction of Haicheng. Feng Sheng is desperate. Do we have to lead the army back to Mucheng, let Does he read a joke?"

"Old Chen!" Wei Jichen glanced at him reproachfully, and said softly: "You can't say that, Feng Sheng is not righteous, but we must be merciless. We are both Chinese troops. Although we have no choice but to retreat, we must know before we retreat. Say hello to him, if he also has the intention to retreat, then we can retreat to Haicheng together, not to mention that Zongbing Ma is still in Ximu City, so we can't retreat alone."

Cheng Buzhi snorted coldly, and said, "My lord, you are always too benevolent to a woman. Brothers know what Feng Sheng is doing with him. If he didn't refuse to save him, I wouldn't wait." We will besiege Elm Fort, but Zongbing Ma did hear that he will, and Brother Yijun will retreat back to Haicheng with us, so as not to let that old guy get hurt too."

"Okay, don't mention this matter any more. After the meeting is over, I will send someone to notify the troops in the city." Wei Jichen waved his hand and said, in fact, he asked Feng Sheng to be notified because the two armies retreated at the same time, so that the Japanese would disperse Some of the troops should be used to deal with him, otherwise the firepower would be attracted to him.

Cheng Buzhi hummed twice and then stopped talking. When Ma Yuya heard that Wei Jichen would let someone inform Ma Jinxu to break out of the encirclement, there was no other problem.

Wei Jichen looked at Wang Shizhen again. Wang Shizhen looked a little depressed. If he broke through, his mountain-splitting cannons would have to be abandoned.

"The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come. Don't be too bored, Mr. Pin. Before breaking out today, the artillery team bombarded the position of the 7th Infantry Regiment continuously until all the shells were gone, and finally destroyed these cannons." Don't leave it to the Japanese." Wei Jichen was also a little distressed, he got it all with great difficulty, and he didn't expect to lose it to the enemy, but to his own hands.

"Huzi, you lead the two guards as the striker, and it's up to you whether you can break through tonight." Wei Jichen looked at Huzi seriously.

The Huzi leader has always dared to fight fiercely, and he must be the striker to break through.

"My lord, please don't worry, I will definitely lead my brothers to kill a bloody road for the brothers." Huzi replied without changing his expression.

"Yunfei, you lead the two sentinel brothers to escort the injured brother to the middle of the breakout. I, Wei Jichen, am not a person who breaks promises. I promised the injured brothers last night that I would not abandon them." Wei Jichen looked at him with a calm face again Li Yunfei said.

"Yes, my lord." Li Yunfei didn't say anything big or boast about Haikou. He always strictly followed Wei Jichen's orders.

"My lord, what about our sniper team?" Seeing that most of the people had a mission, Mengzi couldn't help asking impatiently.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wei Jichen's mouth, and he said with a smile: "Of course you are escorting the wounded brother and the brother of the artillery team in the Chinese army."

Wang Shizhen was taken aback when he heard this, and then said: "My lord, although the soldiers of our artillery team are not as good at marksmanship as the soldiers of the infantry, they are not the wounded who need to be escorted."

"The ruler is short and the inch is strong, so you don't need to say too much, Mr. Cheng and I. After breaking up with me, Brother Ma's Yijun brothers echoed back and forth, ready to support Huzi's forward and our brother after breaking up." Wei Jichen The task was deployed in one breath.

"My lord, it's fine if I'm old Cheng, you're still in charge." Cheng Bushi said hastily after hearing that Wei Jichen was going to break up with him.

Undoubtedly, those who opened the way and those who broke the way would suffer heavy casualties. Cheng Bushi said this to protect Wei Jichen.

But Wei Jichen knew that if he left first, the morale of the army would be unstable, and a premeditated retreat might turn into a disorderly rout.

"Old Cheng, do you want to compete with me in marksmanship?" Wei Jichen joked with a smile.

What he said eased the tense atmosphere in the air, and all the generals looked at Cheng Bushi amusedly.

"This, we'll talk about it later." Cheng Bushi blushed slightly, and stroked his beard in embarrassment.

"Okay, if everyone has no objection, let's go down and make preparations. Maybe the Japanese will attack vigorously in the afternoon." Wei Jichen stood up and said with a smile.

All the generals got up to say goodbye one after another. Wei Jichen watched everyone leave, not feeling well in his heart, and hoped that everyone will be safe tonight.

Two hours later, when Feng Sheng of Ximu City heard the news that Wei Jichen was going to retreat, he was furious immediately. If Wei Jichen escaped, who would stop him from the Japanese? He hadn't even escaped yet.

Immediately, Fengsheng called all the generals in the city to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, Wei Jichen is really unreliable, greedy for life and afraid of death, and now he wants to retreat to Haicheng." Feng Sheng'a stood at the front of the hall and said angrily.

Ma Jinxu at the bottom heard this, and couldn't help but secretly despise him. If it wasn't for your delay in rescuing him, he would have escaped, not to mention the battle between Yushubao and the Japanese. Everyone has seen it. Although it was extremely tragic, the Chinese army still occupied The upper hand can be said to be impressive.

"Wei Jichen is about to escape, what should we do?"

"That's right, even Wei Jichen couldn't resist the attack of the Japanese, wouldn't it be worse for us."

Most of the generals below were panicked when they heard Feng Sheng's words, not knowing what to do.
