Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

"Nani, the outermost position was lost?"

Upon hearing the news of the loss of the position, Asada Motoji's face was filled with shock. That was an entire regiment, a regiment of 3,800 men, and just like that, they were completely wiped out?

Their team originally had only 18,000 people, and they lost nearly 4,000 in just one morning. Now he really lost the confidence to hold this place.

"Quick, send a telegram to Qichang, tell him that our troops have suffered heavy losses and request support. Also ask Qingzhou if they can send reinforcements."

"Hiyi."

At this time, Asada Motoji was already in a panic. The first-line position had been lost, and the positions outside the city might not be able to hold out for long.

"Have the artillery in the city ready to support the front line at any time. Set up the division's mortars on the city walls and strike hard when the new country's army attacks."

"Hi, Your Excellency the Division Commander." The chief of staff immediately went to convey the order and readjusted the defenses in the city.

Qichang City, Qiyuan Province, stationed in the new headquarters.

"What? How did Asada fight the war?" After receiving the call for help, Ito Mifumi thought he had read it wrong.

In just half a day, the enemy not only suffered heavy losses, but also lost a position outside the city. This was really hard for Ito Mifumi to accept.

The previous defeat of the dwarf locusts could be attributed to the conspiracy and tricks used by the new people, rather than their true strength.

This time, Asada Motoji was fighting the new people in an open and fair battle, and they were on the defensive.

In positional warfare, the defending side has the advantage, but even so they lost the battle, so they had to admit that the New Country’s army was very powerful.

"Send a telegram to the country immediately, saying that the Nanshan government's offensive is fierce, and that the Asada and Andong divisions have suffered losses. I hope that the country can send reinforcements again."

Qingshui Qianyun looked at Ito Mifumi with hesitation and said, "General, including the two divisions that are about to arrive, a total of seven divisions have been dispatched from the country."

"After receiving this news, the country will definitely not send reinforcements again, and may even scold you."

"Send a message to the country." Ito Mifumi sighed.

“If we do not inform the country and wait for further instructions, even if the two divisions reach Qiyuan, it will be difficult to compete with the Nanshan government.”

Although Ito Mifumi had privately sent a telegram to the country before, complaining that the three division commanders were not obeying orders and worried that the situation in the new country would change, he did not expect that the dwarf locust army would be completely unable to defeat the Nanshan army.

They also have some agents in the new country, and they have some information about the approximate number of people that the Nanshan Army will dispatch this time.

The Nanshan government deployed 20 divisions in Heyuan, 10 of which entered Qiyuan and 10 were still on the border.

With only ten divisions of troops, their three divisions felt the pressure. When another ten divisions entered the battlefield, Ito Mifumi was not sure of defeating the enemy.

"Damn it, Asada Genji is such a waste." Thinking of this, Ito Mifumi couldn't help but curse out loud.

He really hoped that it was Asada Genji who was a waste, rather than the Nanshan government with strong military power.

"Commander, something bad has happened."

Before Ito Mifumi could catch his breath, a communications officer stumbled into the hall.

"Baga, why are you so flustered? What happened? Tell me slowly."

Ito Mifumi scolded the officer, and after he calmed down, he said, "Hi, General, Qining and Weining sent a telegram. New country troops appeared in Qining, and Weining has been occupied by the new country people."

"And there is also His Excellency, the division commander Anton. He encountered the new country's army in Yi County."

"Nani?"

Ito Mifumi couldn't believe his ears. What did he hear?

The new country army really attacked everywhere, not only occupying Weining but also attacking Qining, and even the Andong Division was targeted. The biggest problem now is not these, but the Asada Division has already fought with the new country army in Anmi.

"General, you should make a decision early." Qingshui Qianyun on the side hurriedly advised.

The situation is now very unfavorable for the dwarf locusts. Not only are they few in number, but they are also scattered all over the place, making it difficult for them to concentrate their strength.

After thinking for a moment, Ito Shiwen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, send a message to Qi Ning and the Anton Division, and ask them to withdraw to Qichang immediately."

Only by ensuring the safety of Qichang can they have the capital to deal with the Nanshan government. If they ignore the Anton and Asada divisions and wait for them to be eliminated, even if the other two divisions come to reinforce, it will be meaningless.

"Hi, General." Qingshui Qianyun did not dare to delay and went down immediately to convey the order.

After receiving the telegram from Qichang, the brigade stationed in Qining did not withdraw its troops immediately, but instead sent a telegram to Anton Xinyu.

In the temporary command center, Anton Xinyu fell into deep thought when he saw the two telegrams on the table.

"Mr. Commander, please make a decision as soon as possible. It will be too late to hesitate any longer." said the division chief of staff.

Anton Xinyu sighed: "Hanoi-kun, what do you think?"

He originally wanted to compete for power with Asada Motoji, but now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. They don't have many troops to begin with, and they have to defend everywhere.

The Nanshan Army not only had a large number of people, but also had strong combat power, so he did not dare to fight against them easily.

The Anton Division encountered the 12th Division of the Nanshan Army and had several small-scale battles. There is no doubt that the dwarf locust soldiers were completely defeated, otherwise Anton Xinyu would not be so decadent.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the most urgent task is to preserve the Andong Division." Chief of Staff Okao Kawachi introduced slowly.

"Not to mention that we were no match for the New Country's army in previous battles. Even if we had the upper hand, we would have to withdraw from Yi County."

"Now that Weining has been lost, Qichang is also under attack from the Xin country. It is possible that the Xin country is encircling us. If we don't withdraw to Qichang now, we may lose the chance if we hesitate for a few more days."

After listening to the chief of staff's introduction, Anton Xinyu made a decision: "Okay, order the entire army to withdraw to Qichang immediately, and send a telegram to Qining to ask them to withdraw immediately as well."

"Hi." After receiving Anton Xinyu's order, the Chief of Staff was overjoyed and immediately went down to convey the order.

Anmi County, after lunch, the soldiers in the rear replaced the soldiers in the front-line positions and continued to attack the positions outside Anmi County.

There was also a round of artillery fire, followed by the soldiers attacking.

On the second line of position, the damage to heavy weapons was not as serious as on the first line of position, so the defensive capability was much stronger.

After attacking for a whole morning, the Dwarf Locust Army lost more than half of its troops and still failed to capture the positions outside the city.

"What? The Anton Division is retreating to Qichang?"

Fang Guoxuan was shocked to hear that the Anton Division of the Dwarf Locusts had retreated. After all, these dwarfs were very crazy and fearless, and he didn't expect that they would retreat.

This made Fang Guoxuan sigh. In order not to alert the enemy, he only sent out three divisions in the early stage, and the follow-up troops were only moving forward slowly.

Unexpectedly, before he could fully deploy his troops, the Dwarf Locust withdrew one division, which made him uncomfortable.

Of course, not only Fang Guoxuan felt uncomfortable, but Fang Jian was also very uncomfortable at this time.

"What? The Little Locust warship arrived at the East China Sea last night?"

Fang Jian stood up from his office chair and looked at Tao Yunong, feeling depressed. Tao Yunong had just brought the news that the Dwarf Locust reinforcements had arrived in the East China Sea last night and were heading to Qiyuan today.
