Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Ma Jinwei was startled and immediately realized that the base had been attacked.

The chief of staff also shouted loudly: "Commander, be careful, find a place to hide quickly."

Ma Jinwei's troops were divided into four parts. He placed the first regiment in the left front, the second regiment in the right front, the division's direct troops in the middle, and the third regiment in the rear.

The main area of ​​the artillery bombardment was the location of his division headquarters.

After two rounds of bombardment, Fang Guoxuan saw through the telescope that the enemy's center was in chaos. He ordered: "Okay, the artillery will change the parameters and bombard the enemy's left front position."

The bombardment lasted for a full fifteen minutes, plowing through all the enemy positions.

"Captain Li, are we going to launch a general attack now? Next, you will be the one giving the order." Fang Guoxuan did not directly give the order for the general attack, but asked Li Zhongwu.

Li Zhongwu did not refuse and said directly: "Okay, send orders to all units to launch a general attack immediately."

At this time, relying on messengers was obviously not fast enough, so they used flag signals. As the highest flag was waved, the messengers of each unit received the flag signal orders and immediately reported them to their respective superiors.

After receiving the order, the First Battalion of the First Guard Regiment launched an attack on the Second Regiment of Ma Jinwei's troops. The Second Battalion and the First Battalion of the Second Guard Regiment launched an attack on the middle connection and went straight to Ma Jinwei's command post.

The Second Battalion of the Second Guard Regiment attacked the First Regiment of Ma Jinwei's troops.

When the general attack was launched, Ma Jinwei's First and Second Regiments each had less than a thousand men, and under the artillery fire, they had less than seven hundred men each, but they put up a very tenacious resistance.

Relying on the old sleeve and the new XI type, they inflicted considerable casualties on the attacking troops.

The two battalions that attacked the junction of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of Ma Jinwei's troops easily broke through and went straight to Ma Jinwei's command post.

"Division commander, quickly, move the 3rd regiment up." The chief of staff was shocked when he saw the fierce attack of the enemy in the center.

When the enemy's artillery attacked, Ma Jinwei guessed that since there was no news from his Fourth Regiment, it must have also fallen victim to the enemy's attack. He just didn't know whether it was crippled or completely wiped out.

Hearing the chief of staff's suggestion, Ma Jinwei looked at the enemy's incoming troops with a gloomy face and gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat."

"What?" The chief of staff looked at Ma Jinwei in disbelief, not knowing what he meant.

Ma Jinwei said unwillingly: "The enemy's number is unknown, and they have an artillery advantage. The troops of the first and second regiments are entangled, and the enemy's troops rushing up have one or two thousand people."

"Even if we bring in three regiments, we will only be surrounded by the enemy and eventually be destroyed."

"If we retreat, what will happen to the 1st and 2nd Regiments?" the Chief of Staff said reluctantly.

Ma Jinwei said to the messenger, "Go and inform the leaders of the first and second regiments to break out immediately."

"All troops retreat, join the third regiment, and then continue retreating." He then gave another order.

Ma Jinwei's troops were quite elite, and after the order was issued, it was carried out in an orderly manner.

Fang Weiguo and Zhao Zhang saw the enemy's central position troops retreating. They looked at each other and Zhao Zhang said, "Chase them. The third battalion is behind the enemy. I hope they can stop them."

Nodding, Fang Weiguo led his troops and followed closely behind Ma Jinwei's troops.

When Fang Weian and Wang Ming attacked Ma Jinwei's 1st and 2nd Regiments, they first launched three rounds of grenade launcher salvos, causing a lot of casualties to the 1st and 2nd Regiments.

After breaking through the middle of the two parts, they surrounded half of them respectively.

When they received the order from the messenger, both regiment commanders wanted to curse in their hearts. How could they break out when the enemy was biting them so hard? Could they just break out?

Unless you ignore the consequences and turn around and run, there may be a few people who can escape. At this time, retreating will make you a sitting duck for the enemy.

They cursed Ma Jinwei in their hearts, quietly abandoned the vanguard troops and ran away.

Afterwards, the two regiment commanders resisted for a while and then led their troops to surrender.

Ma Jinwei's troops joined forces with the soldiers of the Third Regiment, with about 1,300 men still remaining, many of whom were injured in the explosion.

"Commander, the enemy troops are rushing up." At this time, the chief of staff stepped forward and said anxiously.

Hearing this, Ma Jinwei glanced at the fear on the faces of the soldiers around him and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Retreat."

He originally wanted to fight with the enemy for a while, or leave some soldiers to fight, but when he saw that these soldiers had lost their fighting spirit and had fear on their faces, he gave up this plan.

If the large force stayed and got entangled, it would suffer many casualties.

If we leave a small force behind, judging from the soldiers' appearance, they may collapse before the battle even starts.

It was also his own fault. He led his troops to flee before even seeing the enemy, which made the soldiers fear the enemy.

"Da da da……"

"Suddenly..."

Ma Jinwei's troops fled back more than a kilometer and gunshots were heard from the front.

"Commander, there is a troop blocking the road ahead, with no less than a thousand people." An officer came to report.

In fact, the Third Battalion of the Second Guard Regiment had only more than 800 people. Because of the large amount of automatic firepower, their vanguard was instantly defeated, which made the officers mistakenly believe that there were many people on the opposite side.

While Ma Jinwei was thinking, he heard gunshots from behind. The chief of staff came to report: "Commander, the troops behind us are surrounding us. We are surrounded."

Ma Jinwei couldn't help but feel a little desperate. He led more than 6,000 troops here, but in the end there were only about 1,000 people left by his side, and they were still surrounded here.

"Follow me and retreat to the west." Ma Jinwei didn't have time to think about it, he made the decision immediately.

To the east was Fenglin, and to the west was Qingshan City, but Zhu Yaoxiang had been driven to Qingshan City, so he was no longer a threat. As for the remaining two directions, it was impossible to run into the enemy's arms.

Although he was trying to break out to the west, the enemy was keeping close watch on him. He had no confidence as to whether he could break out or how far he could break out.

Seeing that the enemy was about to run away, Fang Weiguo and Zhao Zhang led the charge without any hesitation.

Seeing this, the commander of the third battalion of the Guards Regiment, Xue He, also stood up and shouted, "Brothers, follow me and charge. Don't let any enemy escape."

The gunshots were getting closer, but Ma Jinwei didn't care and focused on escaping. By the time he could no longer run and had to stop, there were only a hundred or so soldiers left around him.

Looking back, Ma Jinwei saw no one catching up with him and he couldn't help feeling sad.

It took him a lot of effort and three years to build this army, but within one day, only a hundred or so people were left.

Although some of them escaped, most of them were surrounded by their three battalions, and the three battalion commanders were very happy about this.

After a round of firefight, the remaining troops of Ma Jinwei who were surrounded chose to surrender.

The three battalion commanders met and after counting the prisoners, Fang Weiguo said regretfully: "The only drawback is that we failed to capture Ma Jinwei."

"What's such a pity? The enemy's troops have been wiped out. What's the use of a single Ma Jinwei escaping? He will be captured by us sooner or later," Wang Ming said indifferently.

Xue He also nodded: "Yes, if it doesn't work this time, there is always next time. We can always catch it."
