Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

In the temporary headquarters outside Qingxu city!
Ding Wei paced back and forth anxiously, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"What time is it?" Ding Wei suddenly stopped and asked.

Zhang Dabiao took out a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at it: "It's just ten past eight o'clock!"

"So it's been more than four hours since Lao Li and Wu Qianli entered the city? But why hasn't the signal flare been sent out? Could something happen to them?"

Ding Wei said nervously: "Mother, waiting outside is more torturous than going in. I should have carried it out if I knew it at that time, so as not to suffer outside."

"No, we can't wait any longer. Tell the troops that in ten minutes, if you haven't seen the signal flare, launch an attack directly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hai hurried forward and said, "Captain Ding, I think we should wait a little longer!"

"It's not the first time our team leader has done such a task of sneaking in and destroying it, so nothing will happen."

Ding Wei turned his head and said: "In the past, it was in the past. In the past five thousand miles, they were all bypassing the devil's troops, but this time?"

"This time, we have to contact the devils first. What if they are discovered just after entering the city?"

Wang Hai bowed his head and said nothing, he also knew how much pressure Ding Wei was under at this time.

Their large army had arrived here three hours ago, and it was impossible for the devils not to react to such a big movement.

For the past three hours, the devils have been mobilizing, similar to when they fought against the city, with artillery on the city wall and defensive lines at the front.

But unlike Jiaocheng, the devils had significantly more artillery and defense lines this time.

And Ding Wei still doesn't know if the devils have asked for reinforcements.

The devils themselves are just waiting for work, and now they are unable to attack for a long time. If it drags on for a long time, the morale of the troops will definitely decrease, and uncontrollable factors will also increase with time.

Even Ding Wei, who has experienced many battles, still feels a lot of pressure at this time.

"Leader Ding, please trust our leader!"

The monk said with firm eyes: "Although I have no education, I also know how dangerous this operation is, but I know the skills of my regiment leader."

"He once said that as long as he wants, he can come and go freely even in the dragon's pool and tiger's den."

Shun Liu nodded in agreement: "Leader Ding, I also believe in our leader."

"The fortune teller said that our group leader is rich and powerful, and can live a long life, so nothing will happen this time."

Ding Wei nodded: "I hope the fortune teller is right."

"However, we have been waiting for too long. After half an hour, if the flare is not visible, we have only two options, either to retreat or to attack."

"I have to be responsible for everyone, and I can't bet on the safety of other brothers."

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent. They could only secretly pray in their hearts that Wu Qianli and the others could complete the task within half an hour.

At the same time, the upper board in Qingxu City is also in a hurry.

"Damn it, why did this happen? Why didn't Jiaoshui and Jiaocheng defend? This bastard Miura, is he a pig?"

The devil's staff officer shook his head: "Your Excellency Shangban, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Even if Jiaocheng is lost, we can regain it later."

"The most important thing right now is how to deal with this army outside the city."

"According to the observations of the scouts, the army outside should be composed of three troops, one for attacking Jiaocheng and one for Jiaoshui."

Shangban snorted coldly: "You don't need to say this. Jiaocheng and Jiaoshui fell, and Tuba Road followed the trend. The meeting point is naturally my Qingxu."

"Being able to take these two cities in a short period of time is enough to show that they have strong firepower. Now it is a question of whether we can hold them."

The chief of staff frowned: "Your Excellency Shangban, just to be on the safe side, I suggest asking for support!"

"Ask for support? To whom?" Shangban snorted coldly: "Your Excellency Tada is far away in Beiping, should we ask Yoshio Shinozuka for support?"

"You don't know why he left me here? Don't you just want me to be under his control?"

The chief of staff sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.

Qingxu is next to Taicheng, it is not too much to say that it is the last line of defense in Taicheng, but it is this last line of defense, Yoshio Shinozuka only gave nearly one regiment of troops, which is not a reasonable thing in itself .

And the reason for this is entirely because of the intrigue between Shinozuka Yoshio and Tada Hayao.

Kamiban was Tada Hayao's confidant when he was in the island country. In order to better control the Devil's First Army, Tada Hayao arranged him next to Shinozuka Yoshio.

Yoshio Shinozuka was not an idiot, so he naturally knew what Hayao Tada was thinking, but he couldn't tear himself apart with Hayao Tada, so he secretly targeted the upper board many times, and even revoked his position as the team leader.

And this result is that although the upper board is guarding important cities, it is isolated and helpless.

"Ugh!"

Shangban sighed helplessly: "Send a telegram to Your Excellency Tada, asking him to intervene in this matter, and see if we can use his name to mobilize nearby troops to come for reinforcements."

"In addition, tell the troops in the city to seize the time to complete the fortifications before the Tuba Road launches an attack."

"I have a hunch that this battle will definitely start before dawn."

On the other side, Wu Qianli and others have collected evidence of the devil's poison gas experiment and are about to leave.

At this moment, Li Yunlong took out a box of matches from his pocket and looked at Chen Kuan: "Well, Battalion Commander Chen, go, get me some gasoline."

Wu Qianli was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Captain Li, what do you want to do?"

"What else can we do? This damn place must be on fire!" Li Yunlong said angrily.

Wu Qianli snatched the match from him: "I can't burn it yet!"

"It's full of poisonous gas, it's a time bomb, isn't it the same as detonating it if you burn it?"

Li Yunlong spread his hands: "Then what do you think we should do? Keep these things here?"

Wu Qianli nodded: "Leave these things here first, and it won't be too late to deal with them after Qingxu is taken down."

"The most urgent task now is to launch the signal flare first, so that Commander Ding and the others can launch an attack."

"Fishing in troubled waters, you know? We have to stir up this undercurrent of water for him first, so that we can have a chance to do more things."

Chen Kuan nodded and said in agreement: "Captain Li, we can understand your feelings, and we are the same as you. We wish we could burn this place down."

"But our leader is right. From the perspective of the overall situation, this is really not a good time to start."

"The battle has not started yet. If we fight here, the devils will definitely react, and we will also be in trouble by then."

"And we have other things to do."

Li Yunlong was taken aback, and immediately turned to look at Wu Qianli: "What else do you need?"

Wu Qianli chuckled: "Since we've entered the city, wouldn't it be in vain if we don't do something?"

"Chen Kuan, fire the flare first!"
