Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

"Hi, Commander, don't worry. I will definitely repel the Nanshan Army." Tamura Mitsukazu promised.

Ito Mifumi quickly reminded: "No, Tamura-kun, you must not be careless. Your mission is to rescue the Abe Brigade and curb the offensive momentum of the Nanshan Army."

"It doesn't matter if Dingcao County is lost. The most important thing is to preserve the combat effectiveness of the troops and stop the offensive of the Nanshan Army."

What Ito Mifumi was thinking at this time was that he just hoped that the Nanshan Army only wanted to attack Dingcao, and not plot to take over the entire Qiyuan Province, otherwise he would be in danger.

If the Nanshan Army launched a large-scale attack, the Tamura Division with only 20,000 men would definitely not be able to hold out.

At this critical moment of domestic support, if he loses Qi Yuan, his fate will definitely not be good.

After all, the country is supporting it, but the place of support is gone. How can the little dwarf locust country cope with itself? How will the world powers view the little dwarf locust country?

What he was thinking about now was that as long as he could ensure that Qi Yuan was still in his hands before the reinforcements arrived, it would be enough.

Even if we lose Mingze and Qizhou, it will be fine as long as we can hold on to Qichang.

Not long after, Qingshui Qianyun came over with a sullen face and reported: "General, the Nanshan government called back."

"What did they say?" Ito Mifumi asked hurriedly.

Qingshui Qianyun picked up the telegram and read: "The Nanshan government said that since the Dwarf Locust Country has been unwilling to make a positive response to the killing of New Country civilians, our army can only seek justice by force and eliminate the Dingcao garrison."

Hearing this, Ito Mifumi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his reply only said to destroy the Dingcao garrison, and did not say to take back Qiyuan.

"Send a telegram to inform the country of the situation here." In order to prepare for a rainy day, Ito Mifumi instructed Shimizu Asakumo.

"At the same time, we sent a telegram to the Nanshan government, saying that our army was willing to withdraw its troops from Dingcao County and asked if they could make way for the Abe Brigade to retreat."

Qingshui Qianyun responded and went to arrange for the message to be sent.

Nanshan Province, Nanling City, Daxin National People’s Government Building.

Fang Jian, Zhuang Jiwu and Tao Yunong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Tao Yunong said: "I guess these dwarfs didn't expect that we would actually send troops to attack Cao and start a war."

"Yes, these dwarfs are too arrogant and don't take us seriously. This time we must let them see how powerful we are." Zhuang Jiwu also said.

At this moment, Wang Hu entered the office and reported: "Chairman, a telegram from the dwarf locust."

"These little dwarfs are really imaginative." After taking the telegram and reading it, Fang Jian couldn't help laughing.

Fang Jian then handed the telegram to Zhuang Jiwu and Tao Yunong.

After reading the telegram, Zhuang Jiwu suddenly realized: "I was wondering why Qichang had not supported Dingcao. I think it was because the defenders of Dingcao had never reported the attack."

"That should be the case." Fang Jian was speechless.

At noon, they thought that the dwarf locust had discovered their trick, which made them worried for a long time.

Thinking of this, Fang Jian immediately ordered: "Send a telegram to Fang Guoxuan and inform him of the situation. At the same time, the Intelligence Department should pay close attention to the movements of the Qichang dwarf locusts. Any news must be reported as soon as possible."

"Yes, Chairman." Tao Yunong responded immediately.

As he was talking, there was a knock on the office door, and Fang Jian said, "Come in."

"Chairman." After he finished speaking, Chen Zui pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Fang Jian and others, he immediately saluted.

After Fang Jian nodded, Chen Zui handed over the telegram and said, "Qichang's dwarf locust army has moved and has set out towards Dingcao County."

"Good." Hearing the news, Fang Jian felt relieved.

Just wait for news from Fang Guoxuan. As long as we can annihilate his reinforcements and capture Dingcao, the entire Qiyuan's dwarf locust force will not be a threat.

After receiving Fang Jian's telegram and the news from the Intelligence Department, Fang Guoxuan hurriedly sent it to the front line.

Upon hearing the news that the dwarf locust army was dispatched, Xue He and Wang Ming were both delighted and helpless.

They were all preparing for a full-scale attack tomorrow, but when this news came, they had no choice but to continue with the feint attack.

Xue He sighed and said, "Old Wang, the task of the feint attack is still left to you."

Wang Ming looked at Xue He with resentment, but did not say anything.

After the afternoon attack, the Nanshan Army made some arrangements to prevent the dwarf locust army from launching a night attack or breaking out.

Inside the command center, Xue He and Wang Ming were looking at a map by the light of an oil lamp.

Xue He said: "Tomorrow's attack needs to be more powerful."

"Yes, today's attack was too perfunctory. If it continues the same tomorrow, the other party might notice something." Wang Ming also echoed.

"Tomorrow we must not only increase the intensity of our attacks, but also increase the use of mortars and general-purpose machine guns to build up momentum."

In order to reduce casualties among soldiers, the Nanshan Army did not leave the trenches in today's attack, and the number of weapons used was not large.

Except for the sniper who was shooting at full capacity, the others used some general-purpose machine guns to fire at the top of the city. Most of the others would occasionally fire the machine guns, so the gunshots seemed a bit sparse.

But fortunately, even so, there were still considerable casualties on the city wall throughout the day.

The most important thing is the sniper rifle, a powerful weapon. As long as the dwarf locust soldiers show their heads, it will be difficult for them to survive.

Even if the general-purpose machine gun wastes countless ammunition, it will not achieve as great results as the sniper rifle.

Xue He frowned and said, "We still have to be careful not to cause unnecessary casualties to the troops."

"it is good."

In Dingcao County, Abe Tokiji was indeed suspicious. He looked at the Chief of Staff and asked, "Mr. Saito, do you think that the attack intensity of the New Country Army today is not strong?"

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we lost nearly two thousand people today." The chief of staff said without hesitation.

"This new country's army not only used a large amount of automatic firepower, but also used artillery, which had a great impact on the defenders on the city wall."

The chief of staff changed the subject and said, "Perhaps these new people are planning to suppress and consume us with firepower first, and then launch a large-scale attack."

"Maybe." Abe Tokiji couldn't figure out the reason and could only respond like this.

At the same time, he felt somewhat worried. The New Country Army hadn't even launched a full-scale attack yet, but his brigade had already suffered such heavy losses. If they launched a full-scale attack...

Thinking of this, Abe Tokiji couldn't help but shook his head.

The Singaporean army is equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, and they also have heavy machine guns, but their heavy machine gunners suffered heavy losses today and were given special attention by the Singaporean army, so they basically played no role.

Abe Tokiji immediately ordered: "Have the soldiers build heavy machine gun bunkers on the top of the city wall, leaving only firing holes."

"At the same time, we also set up machine gun positions behind the city gates to prevent the enemy from breaking into the city."

"Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, there are not many reserve troops in the city." The chief of staff hesitated.

Abe Tokiji waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Gather all the logistics and baggage teams to form a reserve force. Tell them that the time has come to fight for the empire."

"Yes." The chief of staff immediately went down to make arrangements.

The dwarf locust soldiers on the city wall were busy all night and did not attract the attention of the Nanshan Army. At this time, most of the Nanshan Army had fallen asleep.
