"That's another reason!" Ren Chao raised his head as he said and looked at the sky outside, "It's going to be dark now, maybe the little devil wants to wait until after dark to find a chance to break through!" ”

"The little devil's idea is beautiful, and he doesn't want to break through the door!" Niu Kaixuan said indignantly.

"You're right! Not to mention the door, not even the window! Ren Chao said with a smile, "But since the little devil has stopped attacking, we just have a good rest, but the notice is to strengthen vigilance and strictly prevent the little devil from sneaking up!" ”

I didn't expect that this time Ren Chao was too worried, and the little devils were honest in one night, and the little devils were just honestly building some fortifications, and it seemed that there was really no plan to break through. At this time, the main force of the first army of the Japanese army was less than 5,000 people, surrounded by the main force of the Tiger Army and tens of thousands of Dongxue Corps, and the most important thing was that most of the heavy supplies of the Japanese army were destroyed by the Tiger Army.

Early the next morning, under Ren Chao's instructions, the commander-in-chief and Ren Chao made peace, Ren Chao led a group of generals of the Huben Army, and some of the main generals of the Dongxue Army to a small hillside, looking at the Japanese position in the distance, Ren Chao said with a smile, "Do you know why I set up the headquarters here?" I just want you to see with your own eyes how our heroic Tiger Army, the soldiers of the Dongxue Army, wiped out the Japanese Invaders! ”

"Lord Qiyu, all departments are ready to launch a general attack at any time!" A Tiger Ben Army general walked up behind Ren Chao and said loudly.

"Good!" Ren Chao nodded with satisfaction, "Inform the artillery of all departments to open fire!" Give me a hard bang! ”

"Order!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! It didn't take long for a series of violent explosions to be heard from the Japanese position. Ren Chao gave an order, and the three artillery battalions and one artillery company belonging to the Tiger Ben Army and the two artillery battalions belonging to the Dongxue Army, totaling more than 100 artillery pieces, launched an artillery bombardment of the Japanese positions at the same time, and the fierce artillery fire tore some of the fortresses built by the little devils overnight into pieces in an instant! The entire Japanese position was soon enveloped in a sea of fire!

Looking at the position shrouded in artillery smoke, Katsura Taro became unusually calm, "Ogawa-kun, you are right, the Tiger Army is indeed a big problem for the empire!" It's just that what I haven't understood all the time is where this Tiger Army jumped out of here, and why the Imperial Intelligence Department doesn't have any information about the Tiger Army! ”

"According to the previous intelligence, this Tiger Ben Army is nothing more than a group of Qing soldiers!" Xiao Chuan thought about it again and said, "But judging from the current situation, this is completely impossible, how can a group of routs have such a strong combat power!" I suspect that this is an elite unit secretly cultivated by Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang, this old fox, is very hidden, and he can't help but hide it from the intelligence department of the empire, and even from their emperor! After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Huai army was defeated again and again, which made Li Hongzhang lose face, in order to save face and maintain his position, Li Hongzhang was forced to take out this trump card! ”

"Yes!" Katsura Taro nodded, "What Ogawa County said is very reasonable, and only Li Hongzhang has such an ability in the entire Qing Kingdom to cultivate such an elite army!" Today, we have no hope of breaking through, so we can only fight to the death, hoping to inflict heavy damage on the Tiger Ben Army and lay the foundation for the Locust Army to completely annihilate the Tiger Ben Army, as long as we can completely annihilate this army, the empire will definitely be able to defeat the rotten Qing government! I hope you can work with me and fight to the death! Please! As he spoke, Katsura Taro bowed deeply to the Japanese officers under him.

"Hay!" A group of Japanese officers responded in unison.

The fierce bombardment lasted for half an hour, and then gradually stopped, the empty shells on the artillery positions piled up, and the artillerymen sat on the ground panting one by one to rest, they had completed the first bombing mission, within the specified time, as many shells as possible accurately hit the Japanese positions, now they can take a temporary rest, and then it is time for the infantry to come to the stage!

"Kill!" The rumbling cannon fire had not stopped, and the little devils who survived the position heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from all directions. In the first attack, the Tiger Army dispatched five infantry battalions, and the Dongxue Army dispatched tens of thousands of people to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese position from all directions at the same time! At this moment, the sun in the sky was eclipsed, and the earth trembled under the feet of the soldiers!

The soldiers rushed towards the Japanese position one after another, but the little devil in a desperate situation, trapped and fighting, with the encouragement of his commander, also launched a stubborn resistance! Fierce fighting ensued. Under the joint attack of the Tiger Army and the Dongxue Army, the Japanese defense line continued to shrink, and the heavy casualties also caused the number of Japanese troops to gradually decrease! The most lethal thing for the little devils is that their weapons and ammunition have almost run out!

"Lord Ren! The Japanese resisted desperately, causing great casualties to our army! He believes that the Japanese have been completely surrounded by our army, and there is no need for us to launch an attack at the risk of huge casualties, as long as we surround them, within seven days, and when the Japanese are exhausted of ammunition and food, the Japanese will naturally be defeated without a fight! Sun Huazhong saw that the Dongxue Army had suffered very heavy losses, and couldn't help but plead with Ren Chao.

"You mean to stop the attack and trap the little devil to death?" Ren Chao looked at Sun Huazhong and asked rhetorically.

"Yes! I think that this can not only reduce the casualties of our army, but also annihilate the little devils, but it will take a longer time! Sun Huazhong continued.

"It's going to take a long time!" Ren Chao snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I didn't know that this would bring heavy casualties to the troops?" You're right, now that the little devils have been surrounded by us, even if we don't attack, it won't even take seven days, and the little devils will have to starve to death! But we don't have that much time right now! After Ren Chao finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from the table and threw it to Sun Huazhong, and said coldly, "Take a look for yourself!" ”

Sun Huazhong took the piece of paper suspiciously, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but change his face when he saw it, raised his head to look at Ren Chao and asked anxiously, "My lord, what is said above is true?" ”

"I hope it's not true, too!" Ren Chao sighed helplessly.

"So what are we going to do?" Sun Huazhong then asked.

"In the shortest possible time, destroy the besieged pirates." Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"Ignorance, understood!" After Sun Huazhong finished speaking, he arched his hand and strode out.
