Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

"it is good."

Masao Fujii also wanted to take a chance, and after thinking for a moment, he agreed to the proposal.

The most important thing is that the Nanshan Army is coming with great force. Without the barrier of Mo River, the Dwarf Locust Army has no other choice but to retreat to Qingzhou for defense.

Regardless of whether the attack on the Mo River line can successfully defeat the new people, it can at least gain them a certain strategic space.

Leaving behind a regiment to defend Qingzhou, Fujii Masao and Yamauchi Hiroo immediately led the remaining troops to Mohe.

Due to the lack of three regiments, the two divisions had only more than 44,000 people.

Of course, for the two of them, more than 40,000 people should be more than enough to face the vanguard troops of the new country, and they are full of confidence in this.

When the two divisions left Qingzhou, the fighting in Moxian and Jiaoxian had entered a fierce stage.

On the top of the southern city wall of Jiao County, Sugiyama Yino came with the last reinforcements.

"Baga, kill them." Seeing the tragic situation on the city wall, Sugiyama Ino and the remaining hundreds of reinforcements did not hold out for long, and Jiao County changed hands.

This was the second time that the Nanshan government captured Jiao County. As for the commander of the regiment defending the city, Sugiyama Inao, he was killed in the chaos.

However, the commander of the Mo County brigade, Otani Kiyono, chose to surrender shamelessly.

The commander of the 21st Division looked at Otani Kiyono curiously and said, "You little dwarf locusts rarely surrender. Why did you surrender?"

The translator translated the questions from the commander of the 21st Division to Otani Kiyono, who just smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Li Zhongwu was naturally very happy after capturing Mo County and Jiao County. He immediately issued an order to have the 20th, 21st, 25th and 26th divisions march towards Mo River immediately, intending to quickly capture Qingzhou.

Li Zhongwu also arrived yesterday and joined the troops of the Second War Zone.

When he led the follow-up troops to the west bank of the Mo River, the three divisions on the east bank had already engaged in battle with the dwarf locust army.

After taking out the telescope and observing for a while, Li Zhongwu immediately ordered: "Twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth divisions, quickly cross the Mo River and surround the little locust from behind."

"As for the 20th and 21st divisions, they should cross the river quickly, ignore the dwarf locust army on the opposite side, and head straight for Qingzhou. If there is a chance, take Qingzhou. If there is no chance, we must prevent the dwarf locust army on the opposite side from returning to Qingzhou."

"Yes."

After the four division commanders responded, they immediately led their troops into action.

The artillery positions of the 22nd, 23rd and 24th Divisions were arranged on the west bank. At this time, the cannons were roaring and pouring shells at the locust positions on the east bank.

The dwarf locust artillery on the east coast was not to be outdone and continued to bombard the Nanshan Army’s artillery positions.

"Quick, concentrate all the artillery and pour shells on the dwarf locust position." Li Zhongwu put down the telescope and immediately gave the order.

"Yes."

Once the order is received, the herald will convey it.

The Mo River is not wide. When the 22nd, 23rd and 24th Divisions crossed the Mo River, they left their artillery on the west bank. When the 20th, 21st, 25th and 26th Divisions crossed the river, they also left their artillery on the west bank.

Transporting cannons across the river is much more difficult than transporting soldiers across the river, so the cannons are kept until the last moment.

It just so happened that Li Zhongwu concentrated the firepower of seven artillery regiments and poured shells on the locust positions on the east bank as if they were free.

The Second War Zone was originally an expansion of the previous Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Divisions, with the addition of additional artillery. Although there were some shortages, the number of artillery pieces was still considerable.

Under the firepower of seven artillery regiments, the position of the Little Locust was in ruins, and the artillery position of the Little Locust was also hit by artillery fire from the Nanshan Army.

"Baga, what's going on? Why have the new people's artillery become stronger?"

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Hiroo Yamauchi couldn't help but feel angry.

"Yamauchi-kun, could it be that reinforcements from the new people have arrived?" Fujii Masao asked tentatively.

At the same time, he was worried that if the new people came to reinforce, their situation would be very dangerous.

When they arrived at Mohe River, they found densely packed New Country troops setting up defense lines, and he thought of retreating at that time.

I thought the new country's vanguard troops only had 10,000 or 20,000 people, but I didn't expect there to be so many.

However, after observing the number of Nanshan's troops, Yamauchi Hiroo felt that even if the Nanshan troops had 10,000 or 20,000 more soldiers, it would not have much impact. At Yamauchi Hiroo's insistence, they decisively launched an attack.

Because the Nanshan Army had many new recruits, the dwarf locust troops did have the upper hand in the first battle.

However, there were many veterans in the Nanshan Army. Under the admonitions of the veterans and officers, the new recruits quickly gained their footing and slowly began to adapt to the battlefield.

After a long time of siege, both of them became very impatient. If the new people really sent reinforcements, it would be a disaster for the dwarf locust soldiers.

"Hmph, Fujii-kun, as a little locust warrior, how can you be so cowardly?" Yamauchi Hiroo snorted disdainfully.

"Don't worry. If the New Country's army wants to capture Mo County and Jiao County, it will take more than a day. You have to have confidence in the little locust warriors."

"It is a taboo to desert a battlefield. Do you want the warriors to retreat now?"

"This……"

After hearing what Yamauchi Hiroo said, Fujii Masao didn't know what to say. After all, desertion was a very shameful thing for the small locust country.

In more serious cases, even if the case is not brought to a military court, the person will be ordered to undergo cesarean section.

More than an hour later, the 25th and 26th Divisions had circled behind the dwarf locust and launched an attack on it.

While the 25th and 26th Divisions were attacking, the 22nd, 23rd and 24th also launched a counterattack against the Dwarf Locusts.

As early as when the four divisions crossed the river, Li Zhongwu sent a telegram to the three divisions on the east bank.

"Baga, turn in, turn in."

Seeing that he was surrounded by the New Country's troops, Yamauchi Hiroo was a little lost.

"Yamauchi-kun, don't be impatient." Seeing this, Fujii Masao had to stand up. He wanted to die with Yamauchi Hiroo.

"Fujii-kun, do you have any solution?"

The situation was critical, and Yamauchi Hiroo's attitude improved a lot.

"Yamauchi-kun, leave two regiments to block the enemy in front, and we will lead the remaining troops to break out immediately."

"it is good."

At the critical moment of life and death, Yamauchi Hiroo did not hesitate and immediately gave orders to leave two regiments and lead the remaining 30,000 people to break out towards Qingzhou.

"Hey, these little guys are trying to run, guys, we have to stop them."

Seeing that the dwarf locust army was about to escape, Nanshan Jun naturally disagreed. Under the command of officers from the 25th and 26th Divisions, he firmly held the defense line.

"Baga, kill them."

Under the desperate charge of the dwarf locust soldiers, the encirclement was finally breached, and nearly 20,000 dwarf locust soldiers escaped.

Li Zhongwu, who was watching the battle from the rear, immediately ordered: "Quick, send a message to the front line, have the 26th Division immediately pursue, cooperate with the 20th and 21st Divisions, and stop the dwarf locust army outside Qingzhou City."

"At the same time, send a message to the 20th and 21st Divisions to inform them of the movements of the dwarf locusts and ask them to prepare."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the 26th Division immediately withdrew from the battlefield and headed towards Qingzhou.

The remaining four divisions surrounded the battlefield tightly and trapped the remaining tens of thousands of dwarf locust soldiers.
