Super dictator.

A few people were talking, but Wang Shizhen walked over with a smile on his face, holding a post-war statistical document.

He stood at the side first, and waited for a slight pause in the conversation between the few people, and then quietly handed the document into Wei Jichen's hands.

It just so happened that Wei Jichen had said what he needed to say, so he turned it up and took a look.

I saw that the casualties of soldiers from both China and Japan were first written on it. The Chinese army had more than 5000 casualties, of which more than 2000 were slightly injured and could participate in the next battle. The rest were either dead or seriously injured. Sent to Haicheng.

Among them, more than 3 people from the 4000rd Japanese Division were killed, and about [-] of them escaped scattered.

Oshima Hisao, Kuri Iihara, Ogawa Jiro and other important generals of the 3rd Division were all killed, Katsura was captured, and only one regiment commander, Shibanojima, fled into the mountains with the remnants and disappeared.

What surprised Wei Jichen even more was that the 3rd Field Artillery Regiment led by Gui Tailang rushed to the battle, and many of the cannons were too late to be blown up, and finally left to the Chinese army.

Among them, there are 10 bronze cannons made by the Japanese, and 20 steel cannons over mountains that were captured by the Japanese army from the Qing army.

Wei Jichen couldn't help thinking of the famous song "No guns, no cannons, the enemy built them for us." Come on, now it seems that this song can be sung by the Japanese army.

Wei Jichen remembered that Nie Shicheng once told him with heartache that during the Yalu River Defense War, all armies abandoned more than 70 cannons in total, and these cannons fell into the hands of the Japanese intact.

Really speechless.

Forget it, I still want to be happy.

Wei Jichen held up the statistical table, and asked Wang Shizhen, "Prince, how many of these captured cannons can be used?"

"My lord, due to the different calibers of the cannons, the ten Japanese bronze cannons can only fire a few shots, but our army has no shortage of shells." Wang Shizhen obviously knew it by heart. When Wei Jichen asked, he could immediately Answer it.

Wei Jichen asked a few more questions, and Wang Shizhen answered them fluently.

In this way, he turned around and introduced to Ma Jinxu and others with a smile: "This is Wang Shizhen, the battalion officer of my artillery battalion. He has studied in the Artillery Department of Tianjin Armed Forces Academy for three years. Very brave, his left ring finger was lost in the battle of Pyongyang, if you have no objections, I will give him command of all the artillery units."

Ma Jinxu and others also saw the power of Wei Zijun's artillery battalion in today's battle, and now they heard that they were standing in front of themselves and others, commanded by such an unattractive person, they couldn't help being amazed.

Seeing that there was neither approval nor opposition from the few people, Wei Jichen turned around and said to Wang Shizhen: "Prince, I have just discussed with you adults, and will use a total of 52 cannons in all armies, as well as the cannons that have just been captured. Do you have the confidence to lead this newly formed artillery army to deal with the Nogi Nozomi Department?"

Wang Shizhen was startled, so there were more than 80 cannons, and he had never commanded so many artillery teams.

He couldn't help feeling a little flustered. With so many cannons being used together, not to mention the scheduling of personnel, even the management of cannonballs is a problem, because there are cannons of various calibers. If the cannonballs are wrong, they will explode. The chamber, at least it can't be used.

The difficulty is really not small.

But when Wang Shizhen met Wei Jichen's eyes full of encouragement, he felt a heat in his heart, and thought to himself: Wei Shuai values ​​me so much, how can I back down lightly!Even if you risk your life, you must command well.

Thinking of this, Wang Shizhen immediately cupped his fists and said: "Wei Shuai, this subordinate is disrespectful, and I am ashamed of it. I will do my best to lead this artillery team well."

After Wang Shizhen finished speaking, she looked at the other commanders and said in a strong voice: "My lords, if there are other people in the artillery team who can surpass Wang, Wang is willing to abdicate."

After Wang Shizhen finished speaking, she stood still and did not make a sound.

Wei Jichen looked at several people with a smile, and said: "It's a donkey or a horse, you'll know when you pull it out for a walk, since the Minister of Employment has said so, don't worry about my feelings, those who are able will win the position, this has always been the case in my Wei Zi army. "

After a pause, Wei Jichen continued: "Okay, everyone, there is not much time. After you go down, please organize the army to go out immediately. We will arrive at Quzigou earlier, so we can start the arrangement earlier."

After this ambush, the morale of the soldiers of the three armies was high, and the soldiers were sharp, and it was time to attack while winning.

Not long after Wei Jichen's order was issued, before the corpses of the Japanese in Yixiantian were covered with snow, the five groups of people hurried towards Quzigou under the leadership of their respective commanders.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jichen fought with Gui Taro's 3rd Division, and Naimu Xidian also fought with the Chinese army. This army was the Yi Army Jiang Gui who came to support Haicheng.

Jiang Guiti's talent is not high, but fortunately he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The two armies met by chance. Send someone to Haicheng for help.

Li Yunfei was also shocked when he learned of his request for help. He had just received Wei Jichen's plan to attack the enemy in Quzigou.

Li Yunfei was afraid that Jiang Guiti would disrupt Wei Jichen's deployment, so he had to send someone to notify Wei Jichen, and at the same time ordered him to lead the troops to retreat towards Quzigou.

As for the effect, it is not known.

It was already late at night when Wei Jichen received the news from Li Yunfei. At this time, the army was only two hours away from Quzigou. However, the army marched all night last night, fought all morning this morning, and marched for most of the day in the afternoon.

Such frequent transfers, even hard-working people can't bear it.

No matter how anxious Wei Jichen was, he had no choice but to order the whole army to stop advancing, rest for one night, and break out of camp tomorrow morning.

Now that he learned that Jiang Guiti and Naimu Xidian had fought each other, Wei Jichen was secretly anxious. This Jiang Guiti came at a really bad time.

According to the normal marching speed, Nogi Xidian should arrive at Quzigou at noon tomorrow, but with Jiang Guiti's intervention, everything became uncertain again.

What if Jiang Guiti panicked and fled to other places?Will Nogi Xidian lead his troops to follow him closely?

If Jiang Guiti retreated too quickly and Naimu Xidian followed closely, maybe his troops would have crossed the river before his army reached Quzigou.

Where to find such a good opportunity in the end?

Wei Jichen was not afraid of head-to-head encounters, but he couldn't afford to gamble with the lives of soldiers.

All in all, it was because Wei Jichen was too tight on the timing of each of his countermeasures, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Wei Jichen didn't just do whatever he wanted.

Wei Jichen sat in the main tent and thought for a while, and finally decided that he would take a step ahead at night and go to stabilize Jiang Guiti. The army should wait until tomorrow morning to dispatch the army, otherwise the soldiers would not be able to survive.

After making a decision, Wei Jichen immediately called Ma Jinxu and other four commanders, explained everything and his own concerns clearly, and asked them to lead the troops to Quzigou before noon tomorrow. Severe cold, stepping on snowflakes, galloped into the night.

Seeing that Wei Jichen went to Jiangying by himself in the middle of the night regardless of his fatigue, the four of them couldn't help feeling very emotional.

At the same time, Nogi Xidian mixed into the brigade camp.

Although it was already late at night, the entire camp was still busy. Gein and the others frantically pursued Jiang Gui's Guizi army, and they stopped their pursuit not long ago.

Fortunately, the main camp has been set up, and Nogi Xidian and several generals of the mixed brigade are discussing matters inside.

"Your Excellency, after an afternoon of fighting, our army killed a total of 400 Chinese soldiers and captured more than [-] Chinese soldiers." Colonel Kawari first reported the results of today's battle to Nogi Nozomi.

Nogi Noki nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Where are those Chinese captives now?"

"They are trying their best to build a camp under the surveillance of the imperial soldiers." Colonel He Li replied with a smile. These Chinese people are really free coolies. After putting down their guns, they become a group of real farmers. They work hard without complaint. Compared with those North Koreans But much more hardworking.

"Well, after the prisoners help to break out of the camp tomorrow, kill them all, lest they affect the speed of the imperial army." Nogi Xidian said casually without changing his expression.

Colonel Heli memorized them one by one.

"Your Excellency, Major General, today we are fighting with the Jiang Guizi Guizi Army sent by Song Qing to support Haicheng. Will Song Qing lead the army to attack Gaiping and cut off our army's retreat?" Oki Dazuo thought for a while. , reminded.

Japanese spies spread all over Liaodong, not to mention the names of the commanders of each army, even the names of the battalion officers of each battalion were clearly known by them. This is why Wei Jichen dared not tell his plan to the higher ups.

Maybe Wei Jichen just reported to his superiors today that he was going to pretend to be dead to deceive the Japanese, and tomorrow the Japanese will send someone to make fun of Wei Jichen.

Oki, this is a cliché, they have considered it as early as in Gaiping City.

Naimu Xidian said nonchalantly, "Song Qing is getting old, where does he have the courage, even if he dares to lead troops to attack Gai Ping, the [-] warriors left by the brigade in Gai Ping will hold them back until We captured Haicheng, and then returned to the division to rescue, attacking both inside and outside, even Song Qing's Yi army was wiped out."

Oki said again: "The information from Haicheng hasn't come in for a day. Could it be that the imperial intelligence personnel from Haicheng were killed?"

Nogi Xidian curled his lips indifferently and said: "The remnants of Wei Zijun hated the intelligence personnel of the empire to the bone, and even the nationals of the empire were brutally killed by them, so the intelligence personnel who are still alive must be carefully hidden and dare not pass it on at will. information."

Oki saw that Nogi Noki's words were logical and logical, and he couldn't help admiring: "It's my honor to be able to work in the hands of Your Excellency."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a guard rushed in to report.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, General Shibayejima of the 3rd Division has just arrived outside the camp with more than 1000 soldiers." The soldier who reported was kneeling on the ground with a puzzled expression on his face.

Then he added: "Your Majesty, it seems that you have just fought with someone, and the soldiers you lead are all wounded."

Naimu Xidian was startled, got up and said: "Masters, follow me to find out the situation."

After a while, Nogi Xidian saw Shibaye Island sitting in the open space in the camp in a state of despair from a distance.

And the soldiers around him also looked panic-stricken.

What surprised Nogi Xidian even more was that all of these soldiers were seriously injured. It looked like they had gone through a hard battle, and some military doctors had already stepped forward to take care of the wounded soldiers.

"Shibaye-kun! Who is your team?" Nogi Xidian walked to Shibaye Island and asked suspiciously.

"Mr. Naimu, you want to avenge our 3rd Division. This is not only the soldiers of our regiment, but also all the remaining soldiers of our 3rd Division. Our 3rd Division was ambushed by Wei Jichen's troops. The whereabouts of your Excellency is unknown, and it is estimated that the imperial jade has been broken." Seeing Nogi Xidian, Shibaye Island seemed to have found his mother's child, and cried loudly with his hands on the ground.

What Chai Yedao said shocked all the generals of the mixed brigade.

Colonel Heli asked in disbelief: "You mean that there are only a few people left in your 3rd division. Also, hasn't that Wei Jichen been bombed to death long ago? How can he still command the army to fight?"

Colonel Heli's question also revealed the feelings of other people. Everyone looked at Shibaye Island in disbelief, hoping that he was joking.

Wiping away his tears, Chai Yedao gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Jichen, a despicable and shameless thing, didn't die at all. All of this was his conspiracy to lure my 3rd Division to attack Haicheng so that he could set up a plot to encircle and annihilate Haicheng." .”

Everyone was startled and kept asking for details.

With tears and snot in his nose, Chai Yedao explained the incident and his guess carefully. When it came to the fact that he led less than a thousand soldiers out of the encirclement and finally escaped here, Chai Yedao had already cried his eyes out. Red and swollen.

"Despicable, Wei Jichen didn't dare to confront the imperial army head-on, but he resorted to such despicable means." Naimu Xidian yelled angrily, and casually pulled a Qing army prisoner who was carrying a log and carefully passed by him, and drew out his knife to fight back Cut off the prisoner's head with one blow.

"Please rest assured, Shibaye-kun, I, Nogi Nozomi, will definitely avenge the 3rd division. Now that Wei Jichen's treachery has been exposed, there is no need to ambush me and form a brigade. Oki, immediately send more detectives to investigate around. If anything unusual is found, Report to me immediately."

"Hi Yi!" Oki Oki responded, and hurried down to make arrangements.

Chief Heli looked at Chai Yedao who was crying, and after a few words of comfort, he asked, "Mr. Chai Ye, according to your estimation, what are the casualties of the Qing army led by Wei Jichen?"

Seeing that He Li was asking about something serious, Chai Yedao had no choice but to hold back his crying, and said bitterly: "If it weren't for that Wei Jichen who took advantage of the location and set up an ambush, how could my 3rd Division have suffered such a big loss? Even so, Wei Jichen has paid a lot. The high price will not be less than one to one with our army's casualties."

"Huh, so far, he has only more than 7000 wounded and disabled generals left under him. As long as he doesn't fall for his tricks, I can completely defeat him head-on with the mixed brigade." Nogi Xidian said confidently.
