Chapter 656: Recovering the Land of the Two Counties

The leader is none other than the second leader who has changed his identity, Jiro Sakai.

Compared with the fear of his subordinates, Sakai Jiro was much calmer, his face was indifferent, and he said coldly.

"Hmph, if you want to die sooner, you can leave now."

"Second master, I didn't mean that, I..." The subordinates' faces changed, their voices trembled, and they were just about to explain something, but they were interrupted by Jiro Sakai.

"Okay, I know your worries, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I can return to Zhoushan Island alive, this is not the time to be idle, retreat quickly."

At the urging of Jiro Sakai, the people who were hiding in the forest quickly left in the dark.

But if you look closely, you will find that Sakai Jiro's face is still very solemn, and in the depths of his eyes, there is a little unwillingness.

On the other hand, if this matter is spread on anyone, it will be very unwilling.

A good raid, I didn't expect to come to this defeat, although Sakai Jiro didn't know what the raid team had encountered.

But one thing is certain, this raid was absolutely annihilated, and not only that, but it allowed the Dongzhou soldiers to fight back.

As for the movement behind him and the sudden appearance of the search and arrest personnel, Sakai Jiro could feel that there was a strong hatred in these Dongzhou soldiers.

The previous fiasco dealt them a lot of blows, and it can be said that their morale was lost, but now, these Dongzhou soldiers are like crazy beasts.

Whenever you see a pirate who has escaped, it is called a ruthless one, one by one, and there will be no room for survival.

Their morale is back.

On the other hand, on the Sakai Jiro side, the raid team sent out was completely wiped out, and he had no choice but to give up and lose the town of Zuohai.

As soon as Zuohai County was lost, and the reinforcements sent by Zhoushan Island were blocked, Qingchong County, which was still struggling to support, was afraid that it would not be long before it would be conquered.

In this battle, it was their turn to be completely defeated, and in the face of the Dongzhou soldiers who had regained their morale, how many of them could return to Zhoushan Island safely.

At this point, Sakai Jiro didn't dare to guarantee that in this battle, even his stand-in was destroyed, and now he only has these dozen henchmen around him.

Sakai Jiro's only hope is that the base camp can send reinforcements to meet them.

The reason why Sakai Jiro has such a strong self-confidence, if nothing else, is because of his hard work for the group for so many years.

Every time a big war comes, he is not the first to rush to the front, so as to inspire his subordinates, even if it appears a few times, it is his stand-in, but at least his image is standing.

There is a contradiction between him and Yamashita Yong, but this is just an infighting, once faced with life and death, the two are people in the same boat after all, if he dies, the loss is still within the group.

Of course, if Yamashita is ruthless, he can take this opportunity to die and watch him die in the hands of the pursuing Dongzhou soldiers, so as to completely monopolize power.

Sakai Jiro also took this into account, once Yamashita sat back and was indifferent, then don't blame him for being ruthless, Sakai Jiro had already arranged it, once he died.

In the near future, the news of the stand-ins he inspired his subordinates to make, as well as Yamashita's courage to use power for personal gain, will be completely disseminated.

It can be said that between several of their high-level leaders, no one is clean, and everyone can handle each other.

Once this matter spreads, the pirate group will definitely be in turmoil, and even collapse, which the Fuso royal family does not want to see.

Therefore, to save or not to save, which is more important, Sakai Jiro believes that Yamashita Isamu will make the right judgment.

Everyone fled all the way, evading the search and arrest of the Dongzhou soldiers many times on the way, and similarly, they also saw along the way, and other scattered and fleeing detachments were discovered by the Dongzhou soldiers and annihilated in one fell swoop.

Sakai Jiro and they were lucky, they hid all the way, and they were not discovered by the Dongzhou soldiers, but as the search became more and more frequent, Sakai Jiro and other subordinates, their hearts hung again.

Seeing these crazy Dongzhou soldiers all the way, everyone was happy in their hearts, Sakai

Jiro didn't hold on to help.

It stands to reason that the best way to save one's life is to take advantage of the terrain of Zuohai County, which can also delay time the most.

It's not that they haven't thought about this idea, but the Dongzhou soldiers they faced this time are not demoralized before, and they are basically not a little aggressive.

Instead, the anger in his heart was completely ignited, and he only had the Dongzhou soldiers who had a crazy mentality.

Not to mention anything else, the more than 1,000 people who stayed in Zuohai County and bought time for them were breached in less than two quarters of an hour.

Later, they learned that there were at least 20,000 people attacking the city this time, and all of them were like crazy, and they didn't care about casualties at all, but they just pushed it directly.

Under this kind of fierce attack that is not afraid of death, even if there are all three or four thousand of them in the city, they can't resist these crazy Dongzhou soldiers.

Fortunately, they fled in time, and they really had to defend to the death, and in less than half an hour at most, they would have to be wiped out.

Now, although they are scattered, it seems that their strength is differentiated, and in the same way, these crazy Dongzhou soldiers are also divided together, and under the cover of night, they can fight for greater opportunities for their lives.

After narrowly escaping a wave of arrest, Jiro Sakai took the people around him and continued on the road.

At this time, they are only twenty or thirty miles away from the coast of Dongzhou, and as long as they can hold on, they will definitely be able to return to Zhoushan Island alive.

As for the loss of the two counties, as well as this fiasco, and in terms of saving their own lives, what is the gain?

This is not the thoughts of Jiro Sakai alone, but the feelings of all the subordinates who have scattered and fled.

The regained morale of the Dongzhou soldiers has recovered the county town of Zuohai, and sent 15,000 men to hunt down these remnants of the pirates, which are bound to completely exterminate them.

However, there are too many forests in Dongzhou, and they are widely scattered, and they have been chased and killed along the way, and they have won a lot, but they still let many people escape.

Their goal is very simple, that is, the coast of Dongzhou, once they escape, Zhoushan Island will send people to answer in advance, maybe some remnants of the Japanese will leave alive.

Wu Dingguo naturally thought of this, and he issued several orders in succession, ordering the search for the army, intensifying efforts, and being sure to completely eradicate them on the eve of the remnants of the Japanese invaders fleeing from the coast of Dongzhou.

In fact, the best way to solve it is to mobilize the water division troops to attack back and forth, but once the water division is mobilized, not to mention that the Dongzhou water division itself has certain problems.

If it is really dispatched, the Japanese on Zhoushan Island will definitely not sit idly by, and will also send troops, and the scale of the war between the two sides will definitely escalate.

The scale of this upgrade is what Wu Dingguo has always wanted to see, and he wants to annihilate the Japanese invaders entrenched in Zhoushan Island in one fell swoop, but only this time.

This kind of large-scale naval battle requires a lot of preliminary preparations, unlike the army on the road, which can be quickly dispatched when an order is issued.

Moreover, if it is really dispatched, whether it can be annihilated in one fell swoop, how to solve the logistics supply of the naval division, how to solve it if it encounters unfavorable weather, and the communication between the naval division and the land army, this series of problems are all very troublesome.

And at present, it is already a great effect to be able to recover the lost two counties and annihilate the enemy who came ashore, and it will continue to expand the scale and spread to the sea, at least for the time being, there is no such preparation.

Wu Dingguo, who was sitting in Zuohai County, stood on the city tower, his face was indifferent, looking at the faintly flickering fire in front of him, he was silent, and then said to his subordinates.

"You can send the news to the Inspector, just say that Zuohai County has been recovered, and the search army is organizing the annihilation of the remnants of the bandits, please ask the Inspector for instructions, there are other actions in the next step."

When his subordinates heard this, they quickly turned around and left.

This battle was basically carried out in accordance with Su Qi'an's steps, and when the battle was fought here, I had to report the battle situation to him.

Wu Dingguo's message was very fast, and after a while, Su Qi'an, who was besieging the county town of Chong in Qing, received the news.

He nodded slightly, and handed over the next order he had prepared to his subordinates.

At the same time, looking ahead, the Qingchong County City at this time had long been crumbling under the powerful offensive of artillery vehicles and rocket vehicles.

Qi An's siege of Qingchong County was originally to encircle the point to send reinforcements and lure the snake out of the hole.

Now, the snake that was drawn out was defeated and retreated, the reinforcements were temporarily trapped, and the county town of Zuohai was also recovered.

Then, after spending so long, it's time to make a break.

"The envoy ordered the whole army to storm onslaught, don't save artillery vehicles and rocket vehicles, take Qingchong County as quickly as possible, and then quickly join Brother Xie and eat the reinforcements in one bite."

With Su Qi'an's order issued, the originally crumbling Qingchong County City was immediately attacked by a more intense onslaught.

Huang Er, who wanted to resist, was shot by an arrow under the earth-shattering siege, and he had already died, losing the leader, and the pirates in Qingchong County were even more panicked.

After using a stick of incense, the assembled Dongshan Army took the county seat of Qingchong.

Since then, the two counties and county towns, which had been lost for many days, were regained again under Su Qi'an's counteroffensive.

Not long after taking the county town of Qingchong, the Dongshan army did not stay too long, leaving a small number of people to wait for the state soldiers sent by Wu Dingguo, and the rest of the Dongshan army, which still had about 6,000 people, kept moving towards the place where Xie Cang blocked the attack.

The reconquest of the two counties does not mean that the battle is over, but that it has just begun.

The balance between the enemy and the enemy on both sides, at this moment, the balance of victory instantly tilted in the direction of Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo.

Next, it depends on how many pirate pirates can be kept in Dongzhou.

The battlefield on the front line of Dongzhou was almost one-sided, the horn of counterattack was blown, and everyone was very excited, but in Zhoushan Island, there was a dead silence and a gloomy atmosphere.

But this gloom did not last long, and was soon broken by an angry scolding.

"It's all useless garbage! Rubbish!"

"They're sorry for His Majesty the Emperor, they're sorry for the status of the Fuso samurai, it's a continuation! and send a letter for help, they all have to kill themselves, a bunch of bastards!"

"Throw them all into the sea and feed them to the fish!" Useless waste!"
