As soon as the news of the annihilation of the Eighth Brigade reached the Manchurian Headquarters, the entire headquarters was silent for a while, and immediately became like a vegetable market, all kinds of questions and shouts resounded in it, but the staff officer Matsukawa Toshiyin was silent, before he sent the Hirosaki Division and the Eighth Brigade to rescue Heigoutai, who knows that the current outcome is that the Eighth Brigade is annihilated, the Fourth Brigade is surrounded, and although the remaining Fourteenth Brigade of the Eighth Division is outside the encirclement, let alone to support Shendanbao, It is estimated that once out of the wolf's cave ditch will also be the fate of being surrounded by Misichchenko.

Chief of Staff Kodama did not ask Matsukawa Nakasa again this time, but discussed the rescue plan with other staff officers, and finally their discussion was "where to transfer another division", they decided to transfer the Fourth Army arranged in the center of the defense line to draw a main division, this Fourth Army is composed of the Fifth Division, the Tenth Division, and the 10th Reserve Infantry. But now Gentaro Kodama, the best graduate of the military academy in Japan, can't take care of these things, he only learned how to attack from his teacher, Major Merkel, and as for defense, the teacher really didn't teach him!

The final order of the headquarters was to transfer the Fifth Division to rescue the Eighth Division, and like the Eighth Division, this division also received an urgent order, urgently assembled, and then marched from the camp to the left flank overnight to support the operation, but who knew that the order of the Fifth Division to go to the rescue was transmitted to the Eighth Division, and immediately saw that Shangwen roared: "What a shame!" What a shame! "Although he was only as a lieutenant general. However, in the Battle of the Shogunate, the shogunate army he led was able to defeat the government army, in his opinion. Without the problem that he immediately saw that Shang Wen couldn't solve, those defeated generals would not be worthy of lifting his shoes. He immediately ordered: "Go and call all the people who received the order, we will rescue the Fourth Brigade, we don't need the help of the Hiroshima Division." ”

The staff officers were overjoyed when they heard that a division had come to their rescue, but the division commander reacted in this way, but thinking that the Fifth Division would arrive here early tomorrow morning, it was not impossible for them to rescue the Fourth Brigade first.

26 at twelve o'clock in the night. The rest of the Eighth Division began to mobilize, the Fifth Division moved to the left flank overnight, the Fourth Brigade was surrounded in a small hill west of Xujiatai, and the Qiushan Detachment was dying in Li Da Datun, Hanshantai, and Shendanbao. On the opposite side of the Russian army, the 10th Army was still shelling the headquarters of Akiyama Yoshiko, Li Darentun, and occupied some small strongholds on the periphery of Li Darentun and Hanshantai, and after the 14th Division of the Eighth Army captured Heigoutai, it turned to the north to help the 15th Division attack Shendanbao, which originally had a Tanabe detachment of 2,000 people. The battle was tense later, and the defenders privately brought in the 33rd Wing from the nearest 3rd Division, so more than 4,000 people defended that the 15th Division really suffered, and Missichko's cavalry corps, although it surrounded the 4th Brigade, but because of the terrain, only ate a part of the 5th Wing. Most of the Fourth Brigade was huddled in the mountains and forests with complicated terrain, and as for the Independent Army, after annihilating most of the Eighth Brigade, it had already moved to the west of Xujiatai to take over part of the positions of the Missichenko Cavalry Corps, preparing to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Fourth Brigade again.

All sides are waiting for the next day of fierce fighting. Lei Yizhen only took the guards to Hetuozi Village, where Yang Rui's headquarters was located. In the previous battle report to the headquarters, he had explained his final decision to Yang Rui. It can be said that he thought he was right at the time of making the decision, but after the fight, he regretted the price of 500 casualties on his side, and he now came to the headquarters to receive the punishment.

Yang Rui was very happy to receive his battle report before and saw the front, excluding the losses of the Fifth Regiment, for most of the more than 3,000 people in the Eighth Brigade, his own casualties of 2,000 people were still acceptable, but at the end of Lei Yizhen's report, he roughly wrote down the experience of the last battle, 700 against 700, not sloppy at all, is this a student taught by himself, he is not stupid!

This was Yang Rui's first reaction, but after looking carefully at the reason for Lei Yizhen's actions, he felt that such a decision seemed to be understandable. People who don't have money always like to show off how much money they have, and those who have money will only hide their money tightly and no one knows. The current Revival Army is a young man who has just earned money, and he is very excited when others say that he has no money, and then he takes out all the money on his body to prove that he is very good. But fortunately, Lei Yizhen did not take out the whole army, but only one battalion.

Maybe that's what happens when you're young! Yang Rui thought so. However, unlike Yang Rui, Lei Ao, who read the battle report, was not as empathetic as Yang Rui, and when he saw Lei Yizhen enter the door, he called him aside and scolded him, "What stupid!" This was the beginning of Leo's scolding, "Do you know what you did?" Do you know that you sent more than 200 good soldiers to God? They could have not got! Are you great just like that! Greatness is a pig! There is nothing great in the world at all, any war is shameless, war is a competition to see who is more shameless! Only the final victor can speak of his former opponent as shameless and present himself as great. Throw into the toilet the chivalry that Schroeder's damned groom taught you, this damned groom was more shameless than anyone else when he was surrounded by the British, he didn't have the slightest chivalry back then. Only to oneself can one speak civilized, and to one's enemies can only be shameless as a language......"

Leo's scolding was endless, in the first issue, as a personal preference, he liked Lei Yizhen and Bei Shoutong, not Qi Qingyuan, but now, his favorite student did such an irrational thing, which made him a teacher very angry, in his opinion, the commander is the key to the survival of an army, any emotional commander is unqualified, and any commander who will be bound by civilization and morality is also unqualified. Lei Yizhen disappointed him very much, and reminded him of the scandal of the cavalry instructor Schroeder a few years ago.

While Leo was scolding Leiyi, Colonel Madlidov also heard the news. He was reporting to the headquarters on the latest results of the Independence Army, and he knew that the siege was commanded by Lei Yizhen. Looking at Yang Rui, he asked puzzledly, "Wang, aren't we victorious?" ”

Seeing his question, Yang Rui replied with a lazy expression: "Victory doesn't know the reason, it's better to know the result of defeat." ”

Yang Rui's words confused Madelidov again, but he asked Yang Rui again and ignored him, Leo's reprimand lasted until late at night, and then as soon as he came out, he asked to remove Lei Yizhen from his position as division commander. Then it was replaced by 6 Dream Bears or Bei Shoutong. Yang Rui couldn't deny it, called Lei Yizhen out, and looked at him for a long time without speaking, this heroic student is now being scolded and sluggish, Yang Rui doesn't want to scold him again, according to the current people's ability to bear, he will have another meal. Then it is very likely that he will find a corner and pull out a gun and commit suicide, and the problem of Lei Yizhen is the universal problem of the existence of the Renaissance Army, and it is also the universal problem of the existence of the Renaissance Society, and even the universal problem of all contemporary intellectuals, and this problem has been extended to later generations. This is the psychological trauma of a nation falling from the first place in the world to the last, and there are still many vassal states to be proud of after the Opium War. However, the First Sino-Japanese War was overturned by a small country like Japan, and it was beaten to Shanhaiguan without the power to fight back, which made the national conditions of the Celestial Empire embarrassing. Now this country, which is completely trampled under the feet of the great powers, as long as it can find anything that is not inferior to other countries, it will show off, as long as there is a little chance to prove that it is very strong. will go all out regardless of the cost to prove that this is the mentality that a big country should have? This is completely a way of getting rich.

As a person who has come from hereafter. Maybe the Celestial Empire in his era is already a kingdom again, maybe he has a preference for psychology and philosophy, Yang Rui has the mentality of proving something and showing off something, just to motivate these students to often talk about some things that the nation is proud of, in order to drum up everyone's fighting spirit, now it seems that such things should be said less, otherwise these students will all become mobs, and the country established by them will eventually become a big mob country. Self-confidence is in the bones, and proof will only show that your confidence is insufficient. Yang Rui asked the orderlies to bring food, and then said to Lei Yizhen: "There are many things that don't need to be proven, because it is a mistake to prove them." However, it's not your fault, it's everyone's fault. You eat first, you've been hungry for a day. After that, stay at the staff headquarters and figure out what is going on before returning to the army. ”

In the pattern of the Fuxing Society, Yang Rui is always a wise man and a father, while Leo, Zhong Guanguan and others are mothers, among which Leo, a Western concubine, is the most picky and strict. Now that his father has spoken, Lei Yizhen just nodded obediently and went down.

After Lei Yizhen left, Leo let out a long sigh and said, "Schroeder's groom poisoned them. This damn bastard! He's going to make everyone stupid. ”

Yang Rui said: "No, this has nothing to do with Schroeder, it's that their psychology is too inferior." If you don't have money, you're most afraid of being told that you don't have money, and you're ugly you're most afraid of being told that you're not handsome. It's a matter of their mentality. ”

Leo couldn't understand what Yang Rui said, he just asked, "Who will replace Lei?" ”

Yang Rui had already expected this, "Let's let Bei Shoutong be." He has done a lot of staff work, and it is good for him to accept some practical command work. 6 Mengxiong is still honing and honing in the post of the head of the regiment, this person is from a dyeing workshop, and he can't let him be too smooth, otherwise he will turn the sky upside down. ”

Lei Yizhen's handling results were not reported to the whole army, and in private, Yang Rui still had to encourage him positively, especially for low-level officers and soldiers, and even more to publicize his spirit of not being afraid of decisive battles and daring to show his sword. Later director Zhang Damou also took this true story as the prototype and filmed a movie called "Bright Knife", but after the release, the box office was unusually hit, and the Chinese people had no interest in defeating the good little brother Japan, and some big East Asians accused Lao Mouzi of being a beautiful dog, provoking thousands of years of good feelings between his brother and his younger brother, and voting for the white pig.

Bei Shoutong was very frightened when he received the order to let him command the first division, he thought that Lei Yizhen was locked up by Yang Rui, and then inquired about the guards who went with him to know that Lei Yizhen was just staying in the headquarters, he was worried about Lei Yizhen, and then thought of his responsibility, the first division plus the fifth regiment, there are more than 12,000 people after the war, life and death can be all in his hands, before there was Lei Yizhen in front of him, now he rushed to the front line, he knew Yang Rui's work and rest habits, he didn't sleep all night to ask for instructions, Yang Rui's every reply is" You look at it. You take the idea ......" and so on, which made him even more overwhelmed. It wasn't until the end that he understood what Yang Rui meant, and doing so was to test his ability and mentality to command independently.

At his regular meeting at 5 o'clock in the morning, he reported the latest enemy situation: "Last night's continuous small-scale raids in TongguΓ² have compressed the 4th Brigade in a narrow area near the north of Dongsheng Village, and now, according to intelligence, the 5th Division of Japan left the Shili River in the middle of the night last night, and it is estimated that in a few hours, this unit will rush to the Wolf's Cave Valley." However, the rest of the Eighth Division did not wait for them to arrive, but first marched to Xujiatai, it seemed that they wanted to rescue the Fourth Brigade by their own ability. Now Misychenko is already holding them back at Xujiatai, and we are bound to eat this enemy before noon, that is, before the Fifth Division comes up. ”

Everyone knows the situation, and the Cossacks of the cavalry corps are not good at dismounting and fighting, and their ability to attack fortifications is insufficient. In addition, it was a mountainous area, so Misichenko had to encircle and annihilate the 4th Brigade to the Independence Army, and he blocked the 16th Brigade of the 8th Division on the plain. The current situation is not bad, and it is beneficial to the Russian army, but as soon as the fifth division comes up, then more than 20,000 people in his army may not be able to block the attack of one and a half divisions of the Japanese army. In particular, the cavalry corps still lacked artillery.

Xie Cheng of the Third Regiment said: "Didn't you report the information on the reinforcement of the Fifth Division to the Group Army Headquarters yesterday, and didn't the headquarters make any adjustments? ”

"There is an adjustment," Bei Shou said: "General Billy Gellinger transferred a division of the Tenth Army to Shendanbao to assist the 15th Division, and then transferred the 14th Division, which originally supported the 15th Division, to the vicinity of Xujiatai to support Misichchenko, and they came out last night." It should be Xujiatai now, and the headquarters is preparing to use the 14th Division and the cavalry army to block the Japanese first. Then wait for us to annihilate the Fourth Brigade and the 15th Division to conquer Shendan Fort, so that the 50,000 men of the three armies can eat the rest of the Fifth Division and the Eighth Division. ”

Bei Shoutong said the plan of the group army, several regiment commanders were in chaos, and the second regiment commander Fang Yanchen said, "Isn't this a mess, how did you plan it before, after tearing the opening, it was for the cavalry army to do a quick intersperse, what is it like now, let the cavalry fight a war of annihilation?" Besides, after fighting the 8th Brigade yesterday, more than half of the grenades were consumed, and the 4th Brigade will definitely be more difficult to fight, and they have not been divided and surrounded, but have only been compressed, with the existing ammunition, I am still worried about whether they will be able to eat cleanly. The most outrageous thing is that when we finish fighting the Fourth Brigade, the ammunition is almost exhausted, and the soldiers are also very tired. ”

What Fang Yanchen said Bei Shoutong also thought of, but now the Japanese reinforcements are coming quickly, and yesterday the group army headquarters saw that the battle had been won, and halfway through it changed the idea of cavalry assault to fight a war of annihilation. If several groups of the Russian army work together and make a fierce attack by the Central First Army when more and more of the main forces of the Japanese army move westward, then the Japanese army will definitely be finished, but the commander-in-chief Kuropagent will not do this.

Xie Cheng, the commander of the third regiment, also said, "I estimate that another division will be transferred tomorrow." At that time, it will not be 50,000 against 20,000, but 50,000 against 40,000. ”

The most cautious fourth regiment commander Pan Chengye said: "The 15th Division can't beat Shen Danbao, it's still very dangerous for us to do this, let's think of a way out, don't fall into it all at once and can't get out, it's better to let the 14th Division fight the Fifth Division, let's be a backup." ”

Zhang Zongchang looked at these young regiment commanders who spoke better than one another, and they didn't speak for a while, and they were still a little unconvinced by the First Division before, but the last white-knuckle battle yesterday completely convinced him, and the bearded people around him also began to look up at the First Division. They all thought in their hearts that they wanted to lean on Yang Rui, so that they could follow the commander to occupy a large territory and live a good life after the Russo-Japanese War.

Bei Shoutong looked at everyone's various opinions and began to understand the difficulties of this position, and it was still a little difficult for him to unite the regiment commanders with various ideas, who was born as an engineer alone. He said: "The ammunition problem was rushed yesterday, and the most scarce grenades were transferred from the Sifang Station yesterday, and they could reach the front line at about seven o'clock; The Japanese troops in the encirclement still fought according to the old tactics, first blowing up, then scattering, and finally piercing, and yesterday the battle ended very early, the troops were well rested, and today they still have the strength to destroy the enemy. Now the Japanese army is not clear about the total strength of the Russian army in this attack, once the scale of the attack is known, the Japanese army will mobilize troops at any time, but because of the need to take into account the frontal defense line, he is to transfer troops from division to division, as long as we do not advance too forward, it is still difficult to surround us. Behind us is 6 Dream Bears, and that guy hasn't suffered anyone's loss yet. ”

What Lei did with his calm eyes and moved his eyes, Pei Shoutong said a lot to do it. Fang Yanchen of the Second Regiment and Xie Cheng of the Third Regiment were both rescued from Xiongyue City by 6 Mengxiong, both of them had a sense of security about him, as for Pan Chengye, it was still easier to convince, plus the supplies would be in place early in the morning, so everyone was still confident in annihilating the Fourth Brigade in the morning.
