Super Dictator

Chapter 178: A crushing defeat

More than a few hundred Japanese troops retreated in defeat, immediately overwhelming the rescue force brought by Shanchi Yuanji. Yamachi Motoharu was so anxious that he was so angry that smoke was rising from his head. He didn't want to escape yet, but wanted to organize a breakup and fight again. Unexpectedly, when Shang Min, the local leader, heard that the Wei Zijun was led by Wei Jichen, he immediately wanted to retreat. At this time, he was even more frightened when he saw that his army was scattered. He immediately advised Shanchi Yuanji: "Your Excellency, Wei Jichen is coming so fiercely. He must have planned it in advance. If we fight him here, we will only suffer heavy losses. We still Hurry back to other city gates before making plans." Shanchi Yuanji was unwilling to say more. Chief of Staff Yasuji Yasuya persuaded: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the current situation is obviously that Wei Zijun relies on his superior strength. To defeat us, our army is too scattered in the city, so it is better to collect the defeated troops and concentrate our forces before fighting against Wei Zijun." Shanchi Yuanji saw that there was nothing he could do, so he could only attack Wei Zijun ruthlessly. He glared at the direction he was coming from, turned his horse's head, and followed the broken troops towards the west gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shanchi Yuanji turned his head, he heard a loud shout. "Shanchi Yuanji, where are you going!" It turned out that Wei Jichen had noticed the movement here a long time ago. When he saw several people who seemed to be Japanese commanders, he couldn't help but shouted loudly, taking the lead. Unexpectedly, Shanchi Yuanji was actually inside. Hearing Wei Jichen's shout, he couldn't help but feel his body was exposed, and his identity was exposed. Wei Jichen was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly raised his gun and secretly aimed at him. Although the distance was a bit far, Wei Jichen was unwilling to watch him leave like this. Shanchi Yuanji hurriedly spurred his horse into a gallop. Wei Jichen sighed helplessly, changed the direction of the gun, aimed at the horse, and then lightly pulled the trigger. After a loud gunshot, Yamachi Motoharu's mount was seen screaming toward the sky, then swung its hind legs, and was about to turn over and fall to the ground. Yamachi Motoharu panicked and hurriedly rolled off his horse. However, he made a mistake in the rush and his coat hung tightly on the saddle. After a hissing sound, the coat broke into two halves, immediately revealing the white body of Yamachi Motoharu. Come. Seeing that his life was in danger, Yamachi Motoharu didn't care about so much. He hurriedly took off his shabby coat, only wrapped in a pocket cloth and quickly got into the broken army. He was like a small white fish in the broken army. He shuttled quickly and soon disappeared from Wei Jichen's sight. Wei Jichen was stunned and secretly admired that this guy had such a strong ability to escape. Ignoring Shandi Yuanzhi who had run away, Wei Jichen immediately sent an order and ordered Ma Yukun to lead his troops to quickly attack the south gate; Ma Jinxu to lead his troops to quickly attack the north gate. Wei Jichen himself led the Wei Zijun and continued to pursue the defeated troops towards the west gate. Wei Jichen knew in his heart that the Japanese must not be allowed to gather together. The only way to win this battle is to rely on your own strength, continue to divide and encircle, and slowly eat away at the small Japanese troops. "Kill!" The Provisional Allied Forces formed into three tributaries and surged toward their respective goals. Wei Jichen took the lead by one horse and did not give the Japanese any time to breathe. Like a ghost chasing death, he clung to the defeated troops and kept killing the Japanese. Soon, a small group of Japanese fell a step behind and were immediately overtaken by Wei Zijun. The soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and strangled the Japanese again. Boom, boom. Rows of artillery shells roared from the sky on the opposite side, and immediately plunged into the strangled Chinese and Japanese troops. Suddenly, screams were heard, limbs were flying, mud was splashing, and gravel and sawdust were flying all over the sky. More than a hundred Chinese and Japanese soldiers who had just fought hand-to-hand were blown up. Whether they were Qing soldiers or Japanese, they all fell in a pool of blood. Wei Jichen broke out in a cold sweat just as he was about to step forward. He was so close to being killed in battle. Wang Huaiqing next to him said in disbelief: "This Japanese has no humanity at all. He even kills his own people." Wei Jichen originally wanted to keep biting the Japanese, but now, the enemy's indiscriminate bombing made Wei Jichen's idea come to nothing. . The situation on the battlefield is always changing rapidly, which will test the ability of both sides to make decisions on the fly. The reason why famous generals are called famous generals is because they can always quickly respond to various situations and problems. Think of a solution. Wei Jichen immediately turned around and shouted to the ordering soldier: "Send the order to Mengzi, and ask his fire brigade to quickly intersperse and quickly deal with the Japanese artillery team. The other armies should pay attention to concealing themselves and spread out. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they are not allowed to engage in close combat with the Japanese." Yes!" Several messengers came down quickly and quickly conveyed the order to each battalion. In the Japanese position, Yamachi Motoharu only stopped the rout when he was only a few hundred meters away from the west gate. He gathered three to four hundred remaining soldiers and built a simple defense line based on civilian houses. Yamachi Yuanji also used one of the private houses as his temporary command post. The cannon on the west gate wall was able to hit this area. Yamachi Motoji did not hesitate at all, abandoning his troops to save his chariot, directly disrupting Wei Jichen's attempt to clear out the tail of the army that was chasing him. "Wei Jichen, I want you to die a good death." Shanchi Yuanji had already put on another piece of clothing. His face was full of ferocity, as if he was crazy. Yamachi Motoharu had simply lost his face just now. He was naked in front of many soldiers. He felt that he would not have the face to command the army in battle in the future. You must know that Yamachi Motoharu was originally blind in one eye and developed a character of low self-esteem since he was a child. He attaches great importance to the opinions of people around him. Just now, two soldiers were killed by him for looking at him too many times. . Now that I have suffered such an insult, it was okay when my life was in danger, but now that I am out of danger, I feel ashamed to death.

After Wei Jichen adjusted his offensive strategy, Wei Zijun immediately used skirmishing formations to continuously attack the Japanese defense line. Although the cannons from the rear were still firing, the damage was not as great as before. At most, it was the luck of a few soldiers. When the enemy was hit by the bomb, Wei Jichen ignored the casualties and commanded the army to move forward. "The front battalion charges from the front, and the middle and rear battalions press up from the left wing." Wei Jichen gave the order calmly. Pressing up from the side can make the Japanese soldiers in the front feel uneasy and worry all the time. Then the main force in the front will take advantage of the situation and press forward. The Japanese who do not have the upper hand in numbers will definitely be overwhelmed. Mengzi led the members of his fire brigade in pairs, divided into more than a dozen small teams, and secretly lurked towards the rear. Since the battle between the two sides was in full swing, and the members of the fire brigade were not unworthy of their fame, they actually let four or five small teams Weaved in and out of the gap. The members of these five teams immediately targeted the four Japanese cannons on the city wall. Since the Japanese artillery team was in the rear and was guarded in front, they didn't pay much attention to their own safety. They were all excitedly dropping cannonballs on the heads of the Chinese army. Mengzi was so angry that he still hesitated. With an order, the five teams quickly went up the stone steps. They waited until the fire brigade members reached the city wall, but the Japanese didn't notice anything unusual. "Kill these bastards!" Mengzi ordered angrily. There was a burst of gunfire, and more than thirty Japanese artillerymen died inexplicably. "Quickly, aim the muzzle at the Japanese." Mengzi said with excitement. Wei Jichen completely treated the fire brigade as a special force for training. The sergeants inside asked them to learn various combat skills. Immediately, more than a dozen team members stepped forward, while the rest of the team members guarded the bottom of the city wall. "Fire!" Mengzi was finally able to experience Wang Shizhen's feeling of relief. Every time he saw a cannonball falling on the Japanese's head, he felt excited. Boom,...cannonballs exploded on the Japanese position. Not only did Shanchi Yuanji startle, but even Wei Jichen was startled. However, when he saw the cannonballs falling continuously towards the Japanese position, Wei Jichen understood that it must be Mengzi's surprise army. It worked. "Kill, brothers, the fire brigade brothers have already blocked the Japanese's retreat." Wei Jichen shouted with joy, and the Chinese soldiers launched a general attack. In the Japanese army position and temporary command post, Yamachi Motoharu seemed to have been hit from behind. He was as dumb as a statue, standing motionless. The staff officers and generals next to him also had blank expressions. The situation on the battlefield changed so quickly. His own artillery actually hit his own troops. With the help of the artillery, Wei Zijun came with overwhelming momentum and captured several houses. They were about to reach this place. Temporary command post. Rescue from the north and south gates had not yet arrived. From the gunshots coming from there, we knew that Wei Jichen must have sent people to snipe. "Qiang..." Amidst the slight sound of metal friction, Shanchi Yuanji slowly pulled out his command sword. The sharp blade still chills the flesh, but the honor of being a warrior has gone far away from Shanchi Yuanji. The only thing he can do now is to end his life as a samurai before he is captured by Wei Zijun. life. Jinzhou City was breached, and how could he have the dignity to survive? Yamachi Motoharu had no choice but to commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize. "Your Excellency, Division Commander!" Although Chief of Staff Yasuji Temple shouted, he did not step forward to stop Yamachi Motoharu's actions, and watched helplessly as he died by caesarean section. Osako Shoatoshi was not willing to die here. He turned to Odera Yasun and said: "Your Excellency, quickly order a retreat. The west gate is only guarded by a small number of Qing troops. It is easy for us to break through the city gate. The future of the empire still needs us. "Odera Yasumi thought that with Yamachi Motoharu's suicide, it should be able to offset the sin of losing Jinzhou City. "Retreat!" Odera Yasumi thought of this, and asked people to take the body of Yamaji Genji, and immediately ordered the remaining Japanese to break out to the west gate.
