Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Chapter 342 Qichang Attack and Defense

Coming to the kodachi, Ito Mifumi stretched out his right hand and stroked it gently. He knew that it was time to make a decision.

Now the whole Qichang is surrounded, and reinforcements from the country cannot be counted. Yesterday, we also received news from Qingzhou that a large number of New Country troops were stationed outside Qingzhou.

Since the Nanshan government has dispatched so many troops, there is absolutely no reason for them to let Qi Chang go. If he loses Qi Chang, his fate is self-evident. Thinking of this, he firmly grasped the wakizashi.

The position outside the South City was captured by the Nanshan Army at a little after nine o'clock.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield, the Nanshan Army continued its attack on the southern city of Qingzhou.

Fang Guoxuan put down the telescope and asked, "What's the situation on the other three sides?"

"The situation on the other three sides is naturally not as intense as that in South City, but the reactions of these dwarfs are really slow." Yang Pingchang shook his head.

They originally wanted to create the illusion of a strong attack on the South City in order to lure in defenders from the other four sides. After attracting enough dwarf locust troops from the South City, they would break through from other city gates.

However, plans could not keep up with changes. The power of the flat-fire artillery was too great. Not only the bunker positions, but also the machine gun positions of the dwarf locusts were all easily destroyed.

Coupled with the powerful firepower of the Nanshan Army, they were able to push all the way to the city wall.

Fang Guoxuan couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, this flat-shooting cannon is really useful."

As the flat-fire cannon spewed out tongues of fire, the South City gate was blasted to pieces, allowing the Nanshan Army to enter Qichang City.

Although the city gate was broken, the city wall was still in the hands of the dwarf locusts. The dwarf locust soldiers on the top of the city resisted more resolutely and were more fearless of death.

"Kill them, drive these new people out."

One after another, the dwarf locust soldiers rushed down from the top of the city wall, but they lost their lives and fell to the ground under the blast of bullets.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the South City has been breached."

In the temporary command center, an officer stumbled in and reported, which startled Anton Xinyu and Yamane Xingnen who were discussing countermeasures.

"What? South City was breached?"

Upon hearing the news, both of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

More than 10,000 dwarf locust soldiers were deployed inside and outside the South City. How could they accept this in less than half a day when the city gate was lost?

Shan Gen Xingnian reacted immediately and ordered the messenger officer: "Quick, send a message to the other mountain gates, let all the troops enter the city, and withdraw the troops to prepare for street fighting."

"Hi, Mr. Commander."

After everyone left, the two looked at each other helplessly. The Nanshan Army's actions were too fast for them to react at all.

Of course, this is not their fault. The artillery of the seven divisions of the Nanshan Army were combined together, and hundreds of cannons bombarded the positions inside and outside the South City. Most of the dwarf locust soldiers were killed or injured under the bombardment, so naturally they could not hold on for long.

As for their artillery, they did fire a few shots, but were quickly locked onto by the Nanshan Army's artillery. Not only were many of their cannons destroyed, but they also lost a lot of artillerymen.

"Yamagen-kun, what should we do now?"

Yamane Xingnian thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find the commander."

"it is good."

When they arrived outside the new headquarters, it was much quieter here. The two men ignored it and walked straight in.

"Captain Anton, Commander Yamane, what can I do for you?" Seeing the two of them, Qingshui Qianyun immediately came forward to greet them.

Yamane Xingnian said, "We are here to see the commander, please inform him."

"This..." Qingshui Qianyun looked embarrassed.

Anton Xinyu said impatiently: "What's wrong? Just report it, why bother talking so much nonsense."

"Two division commanders, the general has ordered not to disturb him and said that the military mobilization can be left to the two generals." Qingshui Qianyun thought that they had a conflict with Ito Mifumi, so he was unwilling to inform them.

"Humph, you can't take responsibility for delaying something important."

Anton Xinyu pushed away Qingshui Qianyun who was blocking the way, and took Yamane Xingnian with him to the place where Ito Mifumi was resting. Yamane Xingnian, who was standing beside him, could not help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Captain Anton, Commander Anton." Qingshui Qianyun immediately chased after him.

"Commander..."

Anton Xinyu pushed open the door and was about to call Ito Mifumi, when he saw a pool of blood on the floor and Ito Mifumi kneeling on the ground in white clothes.

"General." Qingshui Qianyun immediately exclaimed when he saw this.

After Shimizu Asagumi's exclamation, many officers from the headquarters came. When they saw Ito Mifumi committing seppuku, many of them panicked.

Anton Shinyu was also quite touched by this. Not long after the two left, Ito Mifumi chose to commit seppuku, which shows that he was not optimistic about the war.

The fighting on the front line was very fierce. The two men did not dare to stay any longer and rushed back to the headquarters after a while.

"Yamane-kun..."

Anton Xinyu's hesitant look made Yamane Xingnian sigh. He only said, "Anton-kun, our family is in China."

After saying this, Yamane Xingnen left the command center.

Before heading to the new commander, they had arranged for reserve troops to go to the south of the city to stop the attack of the Nanshan Army.

At this time, he needed to accept reinforcements coming from the other three gates and organize them to fight in the streets with the Nanshan Army.

He wanted to use the blood and courage of the dwarf locust to tell the new people that the dwarf locust warriors were brave.

"Commander, the dwarf locust troops on the other three walls have all retreated back into the city."

"Um?"

Fang Guoxuan didn't expect that these dwarfs would be so decisive and give up the periphery so quickly.

"Let the other three sides also start attacking the city. Tell the 12th Division that has entered the city to be careful and advance steadily to eliminate the dwarf locust soldiers in the city one by one."

"Yes, Commander."

When it comes to street fighting, the Nanshan Army is not afraid of the dwarf locust soldiers, they are just afraid of accidentally injuring the civilians in the city.

However, it is worth being happy that because the Little Locust set up its new headquarters in Qichang, and because many Little Locust soldiers had previously behaved recklessly in Qichang, Qichang became depressed and there were not many people in the city.

There were still about 40,000 dwarf locust troops in the city. Yamane Xingnian used the headquarters as the center, contracted the defense, and built fortifications on the streets.

"You little dwarf, this doesn't look like a street fight, it's completely a positional battle." Pang Yuanxin, commander of the 12th Division, said disdainfully.

Thanks to the gathering of the dwarf locust soldiers, the firepower advantage of the Nanshan Army came into play.

Mortars, grenades, and submachine guns, the soldiers of the Little Locust suffered heavy losses under the attacks of the Nanshan Army, especially after the 11th and 13th Divisions followed into the city and surrounded the city.

While the battle was going on in the city, the 14th, 15th and 16th Divisions also broke through on the west, north and east sides, and a large number of Nanshan troops poured into the city.

The Nanshan army did not rush into the city all at once, but advanced little by little, concentrating their firepower to eliminate the resistance of the dwarf locusts.

The battle lasted a whole afternoon. Under the powerful fire attack, nearly 40,000 dwarf locust soldiers were killed, and more than 10,000 of them chose to surrender.

This was also the time when the largest number of dwarf locusts surrendered. Faced with the surrendered dwarf locust captives, Fang Guoxuan was very conflicted.

Not knowing whether he would be taken back or executed secretly, he had to send a telegram to ask Fang Jian.

When Francis received the telegram, he said only one sentence: "Kill all the rioting dwarf locust captives."
