Chapter 137: I Will Not Return Until I Defeat the Japanese

Wei Jichen stood in front of the map, picked up the baton, and said: "Please look, everyone, Gaiping is four days away from Haicheng, and Ximucheng is only two days away from Haicheng. Nogi Maresuke is arrogant and did not agree with Katsura Taro on the time of attack. The two armies set out almost at the same time, that is to say, the two armies will arrive in Haicheng one after another, and there will be a two-day time gap in between, which gives our army an opportunity to defeat them one by one.

"Marshal Wei means that we should first unite our troops and deal with one part, and then deal with the other part." Ma Jinxu stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

"Yes, we have to deal with Katsura Taro's 3rd Division in two days, or even within one day, and then turn back and encircle and annihilate Nogi Maresuke's troops!" After Wei Jichen finished speaking, he saw that everyone had a thoughtful expression.

Nie Guilin said with some concern: "The 3rd Division has more than 6,000 people. Can we deal with it all at once? Besides, even if we encircle and annihilate the 3rd Division, will Nogi Maresuke retreat after learning the news? "

Although Nie Guilin was a little afraid of death, these two questions were reasonable and to the point.

Seeing that several people were a little skeptical, Wei Jichen smiled faintly and said: "Although the 3rd Division has more than 6,000 people, we are not alone, with more than 10,000 people. What's more, this time we are not facing Katsura Taro head-on. Please look here."

Ma Jinxu saw the place Wei Jichen pointed to and said in surprise: "Isn't this the current base of my Renzi Army, Xujiayuanzi?"

Wei Jichen nodded and smiled and said: "Xujiayuanzi is the only way for the 3rd Division to attack Haicheng. What's more wonderful is that after passing Xujiayuanzi, it is an excellent ambush place for military strategists. We just need to set up an ambush here, and General Ma pretends to retreat here to lure the Japanese into our ambush circle. "

Ma Jinxu thought about it and realized that the place Wei Jichen pointed to was a valley 500 meters away from Xujiayuanzi. This place is called Yixiantian. There are high mountains on both sides and the terrain in the middle is low and gentle, which is indeed suitable for an ambush.

Ma Jinxu didn't expect that Wei Jichen had already figured out the terrain around Haicheng silently, and he couldn't help but admire him very much.

"General Ma, the trouble is serious. It depends on whether your Renzi Army can let the Japanese pursue and attack relentlessly and enter the ambush circle without thinking. "Wei Jichen said solemnly.

Ma Jinxu said bitterly: "It's difficult for us to pretend to win, but we don't even need to pretend to lose. As long as Ma retreats first during the battle, his soldiers will definitely flee without a fight. And the Japanese won't have any doubts. "

The rest of the people were ashamed. Yes, haven't they escaped enough? They fled from Korea to the Yalu River, and then from the Yalu River, they fled most of Liaodong, and saw that Shanhaiguan was just beyond.

Wei Jichen understood everyone's thoughts and comforted them: "The soldiers are weak and the horses are old, so don't blame yourself too much. As long as we can defeat the 3rd Division this time, we can wipe out the previous shame. "

Except for the elite soldiers at the beginning, most of the other soldiers of the Huai Army were recruited after the war. Some soldiers had just touched the gun and were sent to the battlefield without even training.

Just like when Nie Shicheng was in Pyongyang before, the court sent him back to recruit soldiers, so he did not even participate in the Battle of Pyongyang.

So what Wei Jichen said was not without purpose.

Everyone's face looked a little better, and Wei Jichen continued: "As for whether Nogi Maresuke will continue to attack after hearing the news of Katsura Taro's defeat, there is no need to worry about this. Nogi Maresuke is a fanatical warmonger. He has always been arrogant and thinks that he is invincible. Even if he hears the news of Katsura Taro's defeat, he will think that our army has suffered heavy losses after the battle and it is time to continue the attack. "

"Everyone, the 3rd Division has been marching for a day and is expected to arrive at Xujiayuanzi tomorrow morning and then attack General Ma's position. Therefore, we are in a hurry and must act quickly. We must arrive at the designated position before tomorrow morning. If anyone delays the opportunity, the military law is ruthless, so don't blame me for turning my face against you." Wei Jichen said seriously with a frown.

The reason why Wei Jichen summoned all the generals tonight was that he was afraid that the Japanese would receive the news in advance. If the armies set out tonight, the Japanese would definitely not get the exact movement of the Chinese army until tomorrow morning. Even if they have a little doubt, they would not think that the Chinese army is going to encircle and annihilate them.

"Follow the order of General Wei!" Nie Guilin and others saluted solemnly.

Wei Jichen waved his hand, and several people quickly went down to prepare for the army to go out.

After watching them go out, Wei Jichen turned around and asked Wang Huaiqing next to him: "Are my brothers in the Wei army ready? ”

】

“To reply to General Wei, the army has quietly gathered outside the city, waiting for your order.” Wang Huaiqing replied without hesitation.

Wei Jichen looked at Li Yunfei again. As the general manager of the camp office, Li Yunfei did not go with the army in this battle. He was in this city to stabilize the situation.

“Yunfei, Haicheng is in your hands. In the next two days, the city gates will be closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy.” Wei Jichen has always been decisive in killing, and this time he will not allow anyone to disrupt his plan.

Li Yunfei nodded heavily, and everything was self-evident.

Wei Jichen took a big step and walked out of the gate of the government office with his personal guards without looking back.

In an open space half a kilometer outside Haicheng, the soldiers of the Wei army all stood with firm expressions, solemn and motionless, and the scene was solemn.

In the front, there was a small platform made of mud.

Zhang Meng, Zhao Hu, Zhang Zuolin, Wang Shizhen, Nie Cairong and others stood at the bottom of the platform, with stern faces and no words.

Although the soldiers did not dare to speak, they all muttered in their hearts.

"It's the middle of the night, and the superiors asked us to gather here urgently. What could it be?"

"Could it be to support other brother troops? In this case, who will guard Haicheng?"

"The adults are silent, as if they are waiting for someone. Is there a new commander coming to our Wei army? Humph, I don't recognize anyone except General Wei."

Just as the soldiers were getting more and more confused, a sound of horse hooves came from afar.

A cavalry team of medium size came slowly, holding torches in their hands, vaguely protecting a young man in the center.

The soldiers could not see clearly, and only when the young man stepped onto the platform and the torches around him were reflected on his face, the soldiers in the front could see half clearly.

"Is it General Wei!?" The soldiers stretched their necks in confusion and surprise to confirm.

The originally solemn scene was also in turmoil because of Wei Jichen's arrival.

"Is it really General Wei? We didn't see it wrong."

"It must be, how could I recognize General Wei wrongly?"

The soldiers began to whisper to each other below.

"Brothers, are you happy to see Wei again?" Wei Jichen said slowly, looking down with sharp eyes.

"Damn, it's really General Wei, General Wei is really the star of Wu Qu, and he can come back to life."

When the soldiers below heard Wei Jichen speak, they immediately exploded and made waves of incredible exclamations.

There were more shouts of surprise.

Then they gathered into a river of cheers.

"General Wei, General Wei!"

Wei Jichen raised his hands and slowly pressed them down. The cheers stopped abruptly, and countless pairs of eyes looked at him with burning eyes.

"Brothers, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but you just need to know that all of this is my plan, just my plan to make the Japanese obediently come to die. All the actions of the Japanese are under my control. They attacked our Haicheng this time, and I gave them this opportunity."

"Brothers, what do you think Wei wants to do?" Wei Jichen asked loudly with a voice getting louder and louder.

Various answers immediately sounded below, and some smart soldiers shouted loudly: "I want to annihilate the Japanese!"

"I want to lure the Japanese over and then kill them all."

Wei Jichen shouted with full energy: "Yes, Wei wants to let the Japanese step into our encirclement and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

As soon as Wei Jichen came, he showed that everything was his own plan, which made the soldiers of the Wei army think that he was wise and had no plan left out, giving people a belief that he would win.

The sky is a chessboard and the stars are pieces. The Japanese were fooled around by General Wei. Can't they win in this way?

"Wei has prepared 10,000 troops and laid traps to ensure that the Japanese will not return. As the invincible Wei army, we are the main force. Brothers, follow me to kill the Japanese pirates. We will not return until we defeat the enemy." Wei Jichen raised his hands and shouted loudly.

"We will not return until we defeat the enemy!" The voices of more than 2,000 soldiers broke through the sky and roared the loudest.
