Chapter 90: Crazy Purchase of Grenades (Please Add to Collection)

Although the current situation is unprecedentedly critical, Wei Jichen did not lose his composure. It is obviously impossible to lead the troops to escape at this time. The Japanese want to encircle and annihilate the Weizi Army, which is still just his guess.

Even if the court does not hold him responsible and the soldiers obey his ridiculous orders, Wei Jichen cannot get over it. It is not his style to escape before the battle.

Moreover, it is too late to escape now. The 7th Regiment should reach the destination soon, so they still have to fight hard in the end.

In this way, we can only use the greatest resources in our hands to fight back against the Japanese. If you want to eat up my Weizi Army, it depends on whether you are qualified.

Wei Jichen looked grim. He first found an empty house and then entered the system.

Wei Jichen's current merit value is more than 21,000. He did not think for long and decided to spend all the other points except for leaving a thousand points to buy Baihua Yulu Pills.

Wei Jichen planned to spend 1500 points to buy another Maxim heavy machine gun. He had gotten a lot of machine gun bullets from Yuan Shikai, so he would not buy super bullets for the time being.

Because it was not cost-effective to buy super bullets, one point of merit was needed for one bullet. Besides, he was not going to buy more heavy machine guns. Although this thing had great lethality, it consumed an astronomical number of bullets, and his more than 20,000 merit points were not enough.

Moreover, the heavy machine gun was too heavy and could only be used in defense. Once Wei Jichen decided to break through, this thing would either be stored in the super space or recycled by the system.

The system could recycle the sold items at half price, and multiply the half price by a newness and oldness. For example, if the Maxim heavy machine gun was purchased for 1500 points and the system considered the newness and oldness to be 60% after using it for a period of time, 750 points would be multiplied by 60%, and finally only 450 points would be obtained.

Although it was a bit of a scam, Wei Jichen still liked this newly discovered function in the system very much.

If Wei Jichen didn't buy super bullets or heavy machine guns, what would he buy?

Yes, he bought the 77-type wooden-handled grenade, which cost 15 points of merit per grenade, which was both economical and affordable.

Grenades appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries, and some European countries had specially formed grenadiers. However, in the 19th century, with the development of guns and artillery and the reduction of castle attack and defense battles, they were ignored.

The Qing army arsenal was like an international weapons exhibition hall, with all kinds of weapons, from the most backward spears and swords to the most advanced firearms and cannons in the world today.

Wei Jichen and Yuan Shikai had a deep friendship, which was known to all the soldiers of the Weizi Army. When Wei Jichen took out a lot of grenades now, the soldiers would only think that Wei Jichen secretly got them from Yuan Shikai. Even if they had doubts, they would not think too much when the war was about to break out.

After the battle, who would ask about these things? They would only be sad for the reduction of comrades around them.

Besides, Wei Jichen couldn't care less now. Let's talk about the future later. Let's solve the current crisis first.

After buying a heavy machine gun, Wei Jichen clicked on the grenade option and silently said to buy it. He heard a clatter, a clatter.

Thousands of grenades suddenly appeared out of thin air and drowned Wei Jichen in it.

Cough, cough!

Wei Jichen came out of the pile of grenades with a dusty face and a face full of shame. It seems that he has to find a bigger place to buy things in the future, otherwise he will be killed by the weapons he bought, which will really make future generations laugh.

Just now, he bought more than 12,000 grenades and filled the room.

If you want to deal with me, you have to bear the price. Wei Jichen looked at these cold weapons and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He turned around and left.

Not long after, Wei Jichen appeared outside the door with Li Yunfei and the second sentry.

"Yunfei, don't be too surprised when you go in later." Wei Jichen said to Li Yunfei, who was a little confused, with a smile.

"Zijie, the war is imminent, why do you want us to come here?" Li Yunfei asked with some complaints. He was just leading the soldiers to improve the fortifications when he was pulled over by Wei Jichen.

Wei Jichen smiled mysteriously and pushed open the door of the room with both hands.

Thousands of grenades appeared in front of everyone at once, and the impact caused can be imagined.

Wow...

Li Yunfei and the soldiers behind him all had bright eyes and looked inside in disbelief.

"Are these all hand-thrown bombs?" Li Yunfei took two steps forward and looked at the pile of weapons infatuatedly.

"Yes, they are all grenades. Let the brothers carry them to the battlefield and get familiar with them as soon as possible. Tomorrow, the Japanese will come, and I will let them drink a pot." Wei Jichen waved his big hand carelessly, but his heart was bleeding. It was nothing more than returning to the pre-liberation era overnight.

Li Yunfei seemed to be under a spell, and it took him a long time to react. He said with a complicated look: "Zijie, you are really powerful."

I don't know when it started, but Wei Jichen has developed to the point where he must look up to him.

"We are all brothers. I have great powers, and so do you." Wei Jichen smiled and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him.

"Yes, we will always be good brothers." Li Yunfei immediately figured it out, smiled generously, turned around and saw the sergeant who was still in a daze, and couldn't help but raise his voice to command: "What are you still in a daze, move it quickly."

The soldiers came to their senses, rushed up and happily began to move it.

More than 10,000 grenades may seem like a lot, but on average, each soldier in the Wei army only had ten grenades. Most soldiers were using them for the first time, and when they got used to them, they would consume one or two grenades, so there weren't many.

At this time, the east was already white, and when Wei Jichen and Li Yunfei commanded the soldiers to deliver these grenades to the battlefield, they caused another round of exclamations.

Fortunately, this wooden-handled grenade was easy to operate. Wei Jichen first found a dozen soldiers who had used similar bombs before and taught them how to operate it. Then one person told ten, ten told a hundred, and as long as they were not too stupid, most of them learned the simple operation after one or two hours.

Of course, if you want to throw it as well as Wei Jichen, you can't learn it in a short time.

During this period, Monk Xiao sent several intelligence reports. The 7th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese had indeed circled to the rear of Yushubao as expected, and the 17th and 19th Regiments of the 3rd Division also appeared in the sight of the scouts. They were only half a day away from Yushubao and Ximucheng, and it was expected that they would be able to reach Ximucheng at noon.

If the Chinese army had been dispatched last night to attack the 7th Regiment from both sides, it would not be impossible to resolve the battle before noon today.

Unfortunately, this great opportunity was missed, especially since Wei Jichen now knew that the Japanese were targeting him, and he cursed Feng Sheng'a's eighteenth generation of ancestors in his heart.

Since Wei Jichen had guessed the strategy of the Japanese clearly, he summoned all the generals to explain the situation.

"Everyone, it is now basically confirmed that the 3rd Division of the Japanese is heading straight for our Weizi Army." Wei Jichen marked the marching routes of several Japanese regiments on the map.

Wei Jichen had told Li Yunfei, Cheng Buzhi and others about his guess in the early morning, so they didn't seem to panic.

Li Yunfei smiled and said, "I don't know whether this is an honor or misfortune for my Wei army, but if you want the lives of the brothers, you have to ask the guns in their hands first."

Cheng Buzhi's eyes and eyebrows wrinkled into a ball, and he said with a bitter face, "This battle is really a tough battle."

Hu Zi said calmly, "Sir, you can do whatever you say. The lives of the brothers are in your hands."

"Pinqing, what do you think?" Wei Jichen saw Wang Shizhen's regretful expression and knew that he was blaming himself for not agreeing to send troops yesterday, so he couldn't help but interrupt his random thoughts.

"Sir." Wang Shizhen raised his head and saw that there was no trace of anger in Wei Jichen's eyes. He felt a little better and said slowly: "Now we can only defend Yushubao and wait until a large number of Japanese manpower are killed and injured before retreating." Wei Jichen nodded approvingly and echoed: "Yes, we can't waste the fortifications we have made these days. The Japanese are determined to annihilate our Weizi Army. Why don't we want to defeat them? Yushubao has become a formal military fortress after our efforts during this period of time. There are dozens of defense lines. If the Japanese want to break through, they will suffer heavy losses. Instead of breaking out now and being besieged by the Japanese, it is better to find a favorable opportunity to break out after severely damaging the Japanese." All the generals nodded secretly when they heard this, thinking that this made sense. Li Yunfei said: "It's not the first time to fight with the Japanese. This time, we just have to kill more people." Seeing that everyone had no objection, Wei Jichen stood up and made the final decision. "Okay, if everyone has no objection, we will implement this strategy. However, we don't have to fight the Japanese to death. Only by saving ourselves can we destroy the enemy. Once one line of defense is broken, we will retreat to the next line of defense. We will resist to the last line of defense. Also, save more bullets and aim them for me. Don't run out of ammunition when breaking through. That will be a real tragedy."

The generals received the order and were busy preparing. Wei Jichen left Li Yunfei alone to give him a few words.

"Yunfei, you will command Nie Rongcai's scout for the time being." Wei Jichen put his hands behind his back and sighed.

Rongcai, I don't know your real name yet. I would have asked last night if I had known.

This battle will definitely be the most tragic and difficult battle since Wei Jichen came here. He himself has no idea how many people will be left in the end. The time traveler is not omnipotent. Maybe even he will die here.

Nie Cairong was sent away by Wei Jichen on the pretext of something. Wei Jichen hopes that she can live well in the future.

Although Li Yunfei did not guess Wei Jichen's thoughts, he saw Wei Jichen's care for Nie Cairong and Nie Cairong's friendship with Wei Jichen, and could not help but reply: "Zijie, although Brother Rongcai was sent by you to Ximu City for help, after spending some time with him, I have also learned a little about him. I believe he will come back. Your hard work will be wasted." Wei Jichen smiled faintly and said, "Even if she wants to come back, I have a way to prevent her from coming back."
