Looking at the colonel's puzzled look, Yang Rui said again: "There are only more than 3,000 Japanese troops there. We have a division's troops. Four will soon end the battle."

You said it easy, this is not repelling, this is encirclement and annihilation. According to the colonel's understanding, the Japanese army has a strong combat effectiveness, and many times it is even much stronger than the Russian army, of course, the Russian army, which is not the main force. In this war model with the earth as the barrier, it is extremely difficult to annihilate any unit or more. Moreover, the artillery of the Independent Army is not enough, and there is not enough number of artillery, so they cannot even rush up the Japanese positions.

"I'd better report the situation to the headquarters first." The colonel insisted.

Yang Rui nodded and stopped talking. He thought in his heart that when the Russian army command ordered, the Japanese army would probably have eaten very clean food. Now they have started fighting.

In the final encirclement and annihilation of the position, Lei Yizhen stood on the top of a hill one thousand meters away from the position, looking at the Japanese position in the distance in the telescope. The Japanese still had no way to dig out the trenches, but there were many people who died. They built several trenches with their bodies, and then everyone hid behind such dead trenches.

Lei Yizhen asked the correspondent soldier who came to report to the front, "How many strongholds do the Japanese army need? How many people are there in front?"

The communication soldiers sent over seemed to have rarely seen the high-ranking officials, or the great victory made him excited and said stutteringly: "The chief... official... official, that's just this place, there are always six or seven hundred, their big officials are there."

"Grand Official?" Lei Yizhen was a little strange.

The communication soldier nodded violently, and this time he did not stutter. "Yes, a high-ranking official. What a great official."

Bei Shoutong smiled and said, "It should be the commander of the Japanese army's brigade. Look at the flag..."

Lei Yizhen moved the telescope to the tattered military flag, and saw that there were only a few Japanese officers under the brigade. In fact, an old man with a mustache should be the brigade commander. He couldn't help but say regretfully, "It seems that it is difficult to capture him alive."

"It's very difficult. According to the Japanese habits, he will be self-destructive when he breaks through their positions in the end. You may be able to get the command knife."

Lei Yizhen was not interested in commanding the sword. He said, "When is the attack launched? Whose troops?"

Bei Shoutong looked at his pocket watch and said, "The attack was 1:30 am ahead of schedule, and now there is still half an hour. Below is Huang Dajun's battalion." Huang Dajun was the company commander of the miners' company before, but when the Second Brigade was formed, the miners' troops were transferred over and expanded from the company to the battalion commander. He was also promoted from the company commander to the battalion commander.

"Oh. Those miners." Lei Yizhen knew about the past events of the miners' troops. Before the troops were released, they were all dead, and later they were very proactive. In this battle, they were the troops that broke through the positions and teared the Japanese internal defenses the fastest. "The old army is here, I have a good idea. I should gather all the junior brothers together. See how the big brother fights."

Bei Shoutong smiled and said, "Don't joke. I will attack in half an hour. Where can I find someone? Besides, those young people are not worse than us."

"Then let Huang Dajun stop," Lei Yizhen said, "We had completed the task more than half an hour in advance. Now it's okay to push it back, and the Japanese reinforcements and cavalry have stopped it. Adjutant and ordered the company commanders and platoon leaders of each department to come and watch the battle." In order to train their students, Yang Rui has granted Lei Yizhen full power for this battle.

Lei Yizhen's sudden whim surprised Bei Shoutong, but thinking that the situation was indeed as he said, he nodded and added: "Tell them clearly that an hour-long show will start. Except for Peng Qingpeng's camp on the outside, other troops will notify you that the platoon leader who is close to you can also come."

The sudden whim of the two commanders made the encirclement and annihilation move back for half an hour. If Masami Okami of the Eighth Brigade knew that Lei Yizhen treated him like a monkey, he would not let him go. More than fifty minutes later, the top of the hill was filled with dense Independence Army officers, more than 100 platoon leaders and dozens of company commanders. In addition, Zhang Zongchang of the Fifth Regiment was also fooled by Wu Baodi. As soon as everyone arrived, the good show on Huang Dajun was about to begin.

Masami Okami, opposite the hill, also felt the sternness before the attack. He stood on an ammunition box and began to speak in front of the tired and hungry soldiers beside him: "You guys, we are a group of Qing dynasties. You know, it is Qing dynasties! Ten years ago, the Qing dynasties had been defeated by us, and their bravest general Nie Shicheng fled in front of me. Since then, Japan has risen on the Qing dynasties. Today, will we be defeated by the Qing dynasties?

?Will the national destiny of the Great Japan be reversed by the Qing dynasty who can only smoke opium and only comb their hair? No! They can't do it, it's impossible! Today we are surrounded here, but this is a sneak attack, a shameless sneak attack, something that only despicable Qing dynasty can do. You guys, today we will teach them a lesson with the spirit of Bushido and let them know why the Great Japan is a big Japan. You guys, today, for the Great Japan, die in battle! You guys!"

Okami Masami's words inspired the last little power of the Japanese army. Some excited soldiers rushed out of the front line and shouted: "Despicable Qing dynasty! Shameless Qing dynasty!... Let's fight! Let's fight!"

The soldiers of Huang Dajun camp under the military discipline did not fire, and the officers on the hill looked at the Japanese soldiers opposite and roared like crazy. Although the cold wind interrupted the sound from the other side of the mountain, no one could understand Japanese. Lei Yizhen asked to the left and right, "What did Japan say just now?"

The left and right didn't know that there was only a company commander who had studied in Japan in the fifth period standing under the hillside, saying, "Sir, he said we were... despicable, it was a sneak attack, they were challenging us!"

Bei Shoutong laughed and said, "Is it despicable? Their own battle did not start with a sneak attack. Lao Lei said that only those who win will have civilization!"

Lei Yizhen murmured to himself, "Despicable?" He smiled softly and asked all the Independent Army officers nearby, "You said. Are we despicable?"

Everyone thought and said nothing after hearing this. Although the German education allowed them to master the most advanced military skills, the medieval chivalry spirit also penetrated into their souls. After a while of silence, Zhang Zongchang spoke, "To be honest, more than 12,000 people beat more than 3,000 people is not manly enough, but who told us that we were not as good as them? At the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, we were chased away by tens of thousands of people... There is no fairness in this war, isn't it just that the more people beat less people?"

Zhang Zongchang's words made everyone's heart tremble, especially the sentence "Not as good as them!" made everyone's expression solemn.

Lei Yizhen said silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Rise our military flag!"

The number of Wengquanling is Zuoshan Diao. So there is a mighty Haidongqing on the fiery red flag - this is the most in line that the master who sews the flag can imagine.

Under the fiery red carving flag, Lei Yizhen began to speak. This passage has been passed down for a long time in later generations. He said this: "If the Japanese dare to fight, we dare not fight. If the Japanese dare to die, we dare not fight.! If the Japanese dare to die, we dare not die.! What are we afraid of the Japanese?! Why are we not as good as the Japanese?! Mr. said, we want to become an eagle! Mr. also said that when Emperor Wu of Han, we were an eagle! But for thousands of years, everyone forgot that they were eagles and thought they were

A chicken that is edible from the soil will go up if it is beneficial and run away if it is dangerous! Is this still us? Where did the pride of the past go? Today, here, we will fight the Japanese openly and completely defeat them, so that everyone can see who is inferior to whom!" After that, he shouted, "Communication soldiers. Send people to deliver water and dry food to the Japanese, telling them that the final battle will be fought in fifteen minutes. We will fight hand-to-hand combat, and the same people will see who wins and who will lose!"

Everyone present was shocked by Lei Yizhen's orders, but strangely, no one stopped him, not because he was the supreme commander of this battle, but in everyone's hearts, they all hoped to have such a simple and unconspiring duel. They all thought: Just fight happily and happily, and see who is inferior to whom.

Although many of them were puzzled, Lei Yizhen's orders were still firmly implemented. The Japanese had no words to the Qingguo people who sent dry food and water. Only their brigade commander Masami Okami bowed to the lieutenant who was passing the message, and then said: "Take me to greet the commander, thank him for letting me die gloriously in battle!"

Fifteen minutes later, 700 soldiers who volunteered to join the war, carrying bayonets, followed Lei Yi Town, and walked towards the Japanese positions in a long line. The 700 Japanese soldiers facing each other also crossed the trenches made of corpses, and lined up in front of the trenches waiting for the arrival of the Qing Dynasty. The wind and snow that had been stopped for a long time suddenly became violent again. There was no sign of people fifty meters away. The distance between the two sides was shortened little by little while the advance of Lei Yi Town, and finally

When the two armies were only thirty meters away, the soldiers on both sides burst out with shouts at almost the same time, then ran violently, rushed towards the other side with bayonets. The collision of 1,400 people flew away the falling snow. The blood splashed out from the wounds dyed the earth red. In the snow all over the sky, the battlefield seemed to be no longer in 1905, but in an instant, the warriors of the two tribes roared and fought fiercely for the survival and reproduction of the tribes.

The snow will be finished, and the battle will eventually end. When the snow stopped, the last Japanese soldier fell down. Lei Yizhen held the bayonet and looked at the fallen corpses everywhere, including his own people, Japanese, and even more entangled... At this time, the ambulance team had entered the field to start rescue of the wounded people on their side. A lieutenant who had been left in the tent by Masami Okami walked over with a commanding knife in both hands. He leaned down and said in stiff Chinese: "This is the Taidao passed down by General Okami. He said that the general was a samurai, so I asked me to present it to the general."

Lei Yizhen reached out and took the gold-inlaid command knife over, held it on the handle of the knife, rubbed the cotton cloth wrapped around the handle, then pulled out a dazzling blade and closed it back. He handed the Taidao to the adjutant beside him, and asked, "Where is the beauty of Okamimasa?"

The lieutenant said, "See that you have already stolen himself."

Lei Yizhen thought that he would end his life in this way, and he nodded and said, "You pack up his body, and you can send him back later."

"Nani?" The lieutenant was reluctant to be a prisoner under the arrangement of the major general. Now he was surprised to hear that Lei Yizhen wanted him to send the major general's body back.

"Yes. Take his body back." Lei Yizhen said softly. He is not as passionate as before, nor the joy of victory. War is the end of countless lives. He is now going to see the warriors who died because of his impulse. He only hopes that more people can survive.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th, the ambush near Jiangjiawozhang was finally over. The 3,850 people surrounded by the 8th Brigade of the Japanese Army were completely wiped out. The Independent Army was killed 743 people and injured 1,185 people, of which about 540 people could recover and return to the team. The remaining ones basically had to be amputated, and the casualties of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Division were about 600. At the same time, of the 743 people who died in the battle, 221 were killed in the final hand-to-hand combat, and there were nearly 300 wounded in this battle.

Lei Yizhen arrived at the headquarters after the war because of his wrong order. Leo took Lei Yizhen from the position of the division commander on the grounds of violating the battlefield rules. However, with Yang Rui's tacit approval, Lei Yizhen still managed the First Division with the title of acting division commander.

Many years later, Chen Ximin's granddaughter interviewed Lei Yizhen as a reporter. "Marson, I heard that you made an unexpected decision at that time and sent someone to send water and dry food to the besieged Japanese army, and then made an appointment with them to have a warrior-like duel. What did you think at that time? Now it is very Japanese that the Japanese army was at the end of their strength. Although there was water and dry food, they could not compete with the independent army that surrounded them."

After hearing her question, it took a long time to echo this memory from his mind. He said, "At that time, the situation of the Fourth Regiment and the Third Battalion was also very bad, because the ambush plan changed in the middle. The logistics was not in consideration, and they also stayed in the wind and snow all night. The next day, they fought in the encirclement bit by bit, and they were exhausted when they got there. So their situation was the same as that of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army was surrounded and the morale was low and they were high... I was still very young and arrogant at that time. When I saw the Japanese invite the war, I gave such an order. At that time, I thought, what is the Japanese that have to be afraid of? I just want to fight openly and tell everyone that we are better than them... Haha, people nowadays may not imagine the fear of everyone towards the Japanese, Russian, and British people at that time. Just be afraid, just be afraid, just be afraid, just be like this..."

On the night of the 26th, when Lieutenant Ta Mitsunomi Okami's adjutant appeared at the 8th Division headquarters, the officers in the room were stunned. Yukihiko Nakasa grabbed his collar in public and roared: "Qing people? Do you say you are from Qing people?! Do you say you are from Qing people?! You are lying, you must be lying. How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Tian Guangneng looked at the Chief of Staff with disbelief and defended again: "It was indeed the Qing people. They were completely regular soldiers. In the end, their commander and Major General Okami agreed to have a duel for warriors, and then we... failed." Speaking of this, he lowered his head, "These Qing people are regular trained soldiers. They have no braids. They must be the newly trained Beiyang New Army of the Qing country. Your Excellency, the Qing country violated its promise and they are helping the Lucians."

Yubi Guangwei Nakasa kicked Tian Guangneng to the ground with one kick, but he still roared, "The Qing people dared to duel with our soldiers? They dared to fight hand-to-hand combat? They would run away when they saw our military flag. They were just a group of mice, and they would drill into the hole whenever there was a little noise. If you weren't lying, it was the conspiracy of the people in the country."

Yubi Guangwei's speculation did not make the division commander immediately confused. Now, what Shangwen was worried about was that the Fourth Brigade that went to rescue the Eighth Brigade was also surrounded. The cavalry army surrounded them. Fortunately, they took the opportunity to hide in the nearby hillside. Misichenko was unable to encircle and annihilate them for a while, but now a Qing army army ate the Eighth Brigade in a few hours. So will this Qing army who freed up his hands turn around and encircle and annihilate the Fourth Brigade? If it is really only possible, then the situation will be very bad. Not only can he not rescue the Akiyama Detachment, but he will also be dragged here by the Fourth Brigade because of the rescue. What should we do? Yubi Guangwei did not ask Yubi Guangwei. Although he was the chief of staff of the division, he felt that he was very unqualified.

He stopped Yubi Guangwei's actions, helped Tian Guangnengzheng up, and asked, "How many people are there in the Qing Dynasty? How did they attack? Why was the Eighth Brigade annihilated by the enemy so quickly?"

Seeing that the Lieutenant General was so kind, Lieutenant Tian Guangnengzheng said after trying hard to recall: "I don't know how many people there are in the Qing army, but I just feel that they are all over the mountains and fields. They have many cannons and are very brave in combat. I... don't know why they can annihilate us so quickly..."

Seeing that his answer was useless, he immediately saw that Shangwen quietly made a gesture to the adjutant. A few minutes later, Lieutenant Tian Guangnengzheng, who was arranged to rest, was stabbed to death by the adjutant outside the tent.
