Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Chapter 250: Breaking through the Frontier of the Dwarf Locust Nation

"Baka." After snatching the telegram and reading it, Xiao Benyuanxin couldn't help but crumple it into a ball and throw it on the ground.

He could feel that the Northern Army was clearly shirking its responsibilities and was unwilling to contribute.

Now that the Northern Army is unreliable, we must think of other solutions as soon as possible, otherwise if we stay where we are, we will likely be devoured and destroyed by the Nanshan Army.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ben Enxin ordered: "Send a message to the Inoue and Yamaguchi brigades, asking them to leave a part of their troops to stop the Nanshan Army, and the rest of the troops to attack the enemy on the western front."

"Hi." A staff officer responded and immediately went to convey the order.

After watching the staff officer leave, Xiao Ben Yanxin sighed and slumped in his chair. Now they are in a weak position and the situation is very unfavorable. If they can't quickly break the situation, the consequences will be very dangerous.

At this point Xiao Ben Yuanxin felt a little regretful, thinking that he was too careless and did not take the Nanshan Army seriously before.

Even if they paid a little more attention to the enemy, they would dig trenches and set up defensive fortifications around their base.

When it comes to defense, there is a huge difference between having fortifications and not having them.

"Baka." After receiving the order from Omoto, the two brigade commanders couldn't help but curse out loud.

Xiao Benyuanxin said it lightly. The Nanshan Army's offensive was fierce. Now the two brigades have lost no less than 2,000 people each. How can they lead their troops to retreat?

Once they retreat, their front line will quickly collapse and the situation they will face will become even more difficult.

Inoue Murao sighed and ordered, "Send an order, have the Nakano Regiment stay in the position, and the others follow me to attack the western front."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander." After bowing, the staff officer went to convey the order.

The Yamaguchi Brigade also left behind a regiment and retreated its main force to the west, preparing to attack the 10th Division of the Nanshan Army and open a gap in the encirclement.

Although the two were dissatisfied with Xiao Benyuanxin, since it was a matter of life and death, they naturally wanted to fight their way out.

As the two brigades each withdrew nearly 5,000 people, the First, Eleventh Division could clearly feel that the defenses on the positions of the Dwarf Locust Country had become weak.

The 1st and 11th Divisions showed no mercy and attacked the two garrisons of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom with all their might. Although the garrisons of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom were very tenacious, the Nanshan Army had the numerical advantage and eventually wiped out the two garrisons.

The 3rd Division on the northern front, led by Division Commander Li Wei, quickly broke through the defense of the troops directly under the Omoto Enshin Division on the northern front.

The army of the small dwarf locust country, which was divided and surrounded on the northern front, also showed tenacious will. Even though they were surrounded, they still chose to fight to the death and did not surrender.

The defenders on the three fronts fought desperately and successfully delayed the attack speed of the 1st, 3rd and 11th Divisions.

Inside the Dwarf Locust's headquarters, the chief of staff hurried in and reported: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the northern front has collapsed."

"Organize the artillery regiment, distribute weapons to them, and retreat to the western front with the two brigades." Omoto Enshin seemed to have expected Hoshino Yachi's report and was not surprised at all, but gave the orders calmly.

"When the artillery regiment retreats, detonate all the remaining artillery pieces and do not leave any for the Nanshan Army."

"Hay."

It was a pity to destroy the cannons, but they were destined not to be able to take them away. They needed to break through now, and other than the mortars, the other artillery would only become a burden.

Before the three divisions surrounded the headquarters, Obata Nobuyuki had already joined the main forces of the two brigades with his armed artillery regiment.

When the troops gathered and were counted, they found that there were only more than 12,000 troops from the Dwarf Locust Kingdom gathered together.

Looking at the two brigade commanders, Omoto Enshin said, "Inoue-kun, Yamaguchi-kun, we are now surrounded by the new country. If we can't rush out quickly, when the Nanshan army surrounds us..."

Omoto Enshin did not mention the consequences of the Nanshan Army's siege, but the two brigade commanders naturally understood.

Once the Nanshan troops from other directions surrounded them, the best outcome for them would be disembowelment or being shot to death.

As for being captured, it was impossible for high-ranking officers like them to be captured. Once they were captured, not only would their future be ruined, but their families at home would also be brought shame.

At this moment, all three of them were ready to commit suicide.

"Don't worry, Commander. I know what to do," said Inoue Murao.

Yamaguchi Ryuji also immediately promised: "I will definitely lead the Yamaguchi Brigade to break through the defense of the Nanshan Army on the western front and join the Northern Army."

The reason why they must join up with the Northern Army is that they are now inland. Even if they successfully break out from other directions, they don’t know what to do next. This is the consequence of going deep into enemy territory.

After the mobilization, Ryuji Yamaguchi took the lead in leading the soldiers of his regiment to attack the Nanshan Army's position.

Because the Small Locust Kingdom was on the offensive, the Nanshan Army was on the defensive, and the Nanshan Army also urgently arranged defensive fortifications. The first wave of the Small Locust Kingdom's offensive was easily repelled.

"Baka." Seeing the troops retreating, Yamaguchi Ryuji couldn't help but curse.

After cursing, Yamaguchi Ryuji gathered the troops together again and said, "Warriors of the Little Locust Country, the enemy ahead is blocking our way. What should you do?"

"If we don't break through the enemy's position quickly, the enemies behind us will rush up and tear us apart."

"Those who don't want to die, and don't want to return to their country to reunite with their families, can stay where they are. Those who are willing to rush out with me, all stand up."

Under Yamaguchi Ryuji's renewed mobilization, a suicide squad of more than 3,000 people was formed, and they rushed towards the 10th Division's position without regard for their lives.

Seeing this, General Omoto Enshin in the rear praised: "Yoshi, the Yamaguchi Army is indeed the warriors of the Empire."

The soldiers of the Dwarf Locust Kingdom approached the position again, and the soldiers of the Tenth Division, under the command of the commander, continued to fire and took away lives one by one.

Even though their companions kept falling down, it did not stop the dwarf locust nation from charging forward.

"Are these soldiers from the dwarf locust country crazy?" the chief of staff of the 10th Division couldn't help but ask.

Division Commander Fang Tianming said with a smile: "No matter how crazy you are, you can't change your fate of being wiped out."

Under the attack of general-purpose machine guns, when Ryuji Yamaguchi approached the 10th Division's position by 200 meters, only one third of the more than 3,000 people who were charging were left.

Facing the Nanshan Army's full-scale firepower of machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns, Yamaguchi Ryuji found a bunker and ordered, "Find a bunker and engage the enemy in a firefight."

Ryuji Yamaguchi wanted the soldiers of the small locust country to make up for the disadvantage with their excellent shooting skills.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Under the powerful firepower output, the soldiers of the Little Locust Country were killed one after another, and Yamaguchi Ryuji was also hit in the chest by a stray bullet and died.

Xiao Benyuanxin put down the telescope and almost fell backwards because of his unstable body.

He knew that their army of the small locust nation was finished. Previously, they could hold out for a few days and wait for an opportunity by relying on strategic space defense.

Now that they have given up several positions and failed to break out of the encirclement on the western front, the small division will be completely finished.

"Mr. Commander, what's wrong with you..." Inoue Murao immediately supported Omoto Genshin and asked with concern.

After Xiao Benyuanxin stood still, a fierce look flashed across his face: "Arrange a defensive position immediately. I am ready to fight to the death with the Nanshan Army on the ground."
