Chapter 83 Encirclement 5

As soon as the news of the annihilation of the Eighth Brigade reached the Manchurian Command, the entire command immediately became like a vegetable market, with various questions and roars resounding throughout the process. The staff officer Toshio Matsukawa remained silent. He suggested sending the Hirosaki Division and the Eighth Brigade to rescue Heigoutai. Who knew that the ending now was that the Eighth Brigade was annihilated and the Fourth Brigade was surrounded. Although the remaining 14th Brigade of the Eighth Division was outside the encirclement, let alone supporting Chendan Fort, it is estimated that once the Langdong Gully was out of the Langdong Gully, it would be the fate of being surrounded by Misichenko.

Chief of Staff, Ota, never asked Matsukawa Nakasa again, but was discussing the rescue plan with other staff members. In the end, their discussion was "where to call out another division." They decided to draw a main division from the Fourth Army arranged in the center of the defense line. This Fourth Army consists of the Fifth Division, the 10th Division, and the tenth brigade of the reserve infantry. The frontal force was greatly weakened. At the same time, sending troops to the left wing bit by bit was a taboo in the oil filling tactics. But now, the best military graduate of Japan, Otaro Taro, no longer cares about these. He only learned how to attack from his teacher Major Merkel. As for defense, the teacher really didn't teach it!

The final order of the headquarters was to draw out the Fifth Division to rescue the Eighth Division. Like the Eighth Division, the division also received an emergency order, gathered urgently, and then marched from the camp Shilihe overnight to support the left wing to support the battle. But who knew that the order for the Fifth Division to go to rescue was passed to the Eighth Division, but immediately saw Naomoto, but he roared: "What a shame! It's so shameful!" Although he was only a lieutenant general, the shogunate army he led in the war of the Shogun defeated the government army. In his opinion, without the problem that Naomoto could not solve immediately, those defeated generals were not worthy of carrying his shoes. He immediately ordered: "Go and call all the order recipients over. We want to rescue the Fourth Brigade. We don't need the help of Hiroshima Division."

The staff members were very happy to hear that a division's troops came to rescue him, but the division commander reacted so. However, they thought that the Fifth Division would arrive here tomorrow morning, and it was not impossible to rescue the Fourth Brigade first. They hurriedly summoned the order recipient - officers above the brigade.

At 12 o'clock on the night of the 26th, the remaining headquarters of the Eighth Division began to mobilize. The Fifth Division headed to the left wing overnight. The Fourth Brigade was surrounded in a small hill to the west of Xujiatai. Qiushan Detachment was struggling to death in Li Darentun, Hanshantai and Chendanbao. On the opposite side, the 10th Army was still shelling Li Darentun, the commander of Qiushan Haogu, and occupied Li Darentun, some small strongholds outside Hanshantai. After the 14th Division of the Eighth Army captured Heigoutai, it turned north to help the 15th Division attack Chendanbao. The original Tianbian Detachment of Chendanbao had two thousand people. .The war was tense later, and the defenders secretly brought the 33rd Regiment from the nearest Third Division. The defense of more than 4,000 people really made the 15th Division suffer. Although Misichenko's cavalry army surrounded the Fourth Brigade, due to the terrain, they only received a part of the Fifth Regiment that was broken due to the terrain. Most of the Fourth Brigade was shrouded in the mountains with complex terrain. As for the Independent Army, after annihilated most of the Eighth Brigade, they had already headed to west of Xujiatai to replace some positions of the Misichenko's cavalry army, preparing to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Fourth Brigade again.

All parties were waiting for the next day's fierce battle. Lei Yi Town only took the guards to Hetuozi Village, where Yang Rui's headquarters was located. In the battle report to the headquarters before, he had already 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 battle, he regretted the price of five hundred casualties on his side. He is now coming to the headquarters to receive the punishment.

Yang Rui was very happy to see the battle report before. He ruled out the losses of the Fifth Regiment, and the casualties of his two thousand people were still acceptable for the annihilation of more than 3,000 people in most of the Eighth Brigade. However, at the end of the Lei Yizhen report, he roughly wrote about the process of the last battle, seven hundred and seven hundred, without any carelessness. Is this a student he taught? I am not stupid!

This was Yang Rui's first reaction, but if you look at the whole story of Lei Yizhen doing this carefully, you feel that you can understand such a decision. People who have no money always like to show off how much money they have, while those who have money only hide their money tightly, and no one knows it. The Fuxing Army is now a young man who just made money. He was so excited when others said he had no money, and then took out all the money he had on him to prove that he was very good. Fortunately, Lei Yizhen did not take out the entire army, but only took out one battalion.

Maybe this is a common problem for young people! Yang Rui thought so. But unlike Yang Rui, Leo, who had read the battle report, was not as understanding as Yang Rui. When he saw Lei Yizhen enter the door, he called him aside and scolded him, "It's so stupid!" This was Leo's start to curse, "Do you know what you did? Do you know that you let more than 200 outstanding soldiers go to see God? They could have not been there! Just like that, you are great! Greatness is a pig's trick! There is no such thing in the world.

Great things, any war is shameless, and war is to compete for who is more shameless! Only the final winner can say that the former opponent is shameless and proclaim himself great. Throw the chivalrous spirit taught by Schroeder, the damn groom, into the toilet. This damn groom is more shameless than anyone when he was surrounded by the British. He had no chivalrous spirit at that time. He could only say civilization to his own people, and he could only use shamelessness as language to his enemies..."

Leo's scolding was endless. In the first episode, as a personal preference, he liked Lei Yizhen, Bei Shoutong, rather than Qi Qingyuan and others. However, now, his favorite student did such irrational things, which made him very angry. In his opinion, the commander is the key to the survival of a army. Any emotional commander is unqualified, and any commander who will be bound by civilization and morality is also unqualified. Lei Yizhen disappointed him, and made him unable to help but think of the scandal of the cavalry instructor Schroeder a few years ago.

While Leo was scolding Lei Yizhen, Colonel Madlitov also came over. He was reporting to the headquarters the latest results of the Independence Army. He knew that the encirclement and annihilation was commanded by Lei Yizhen. Looking at Yang Rui, he asked in confusion, "Wang, have we won?"

Seeing his question, Yang Rui replied lazily: "I don't know the reason for victory, but it's better to know the result if I fail."

Yang Rui's words confused Madlitov again, but he asked Yang Rui to ignore him again. Leo's scolding was late at night. After that, he asked to remove the position of Lei Yi Town as a division commander. Then Lu Mengxiong or Bei Shoutong replaced him. Yang Rui could not refuse and called Lei Yi Town out. Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, this heroic student was now scolded to be sluggish. Yang Rui didn't want to scold him again. According to the ability of people to bear it now, he would have to beat him again. Then he would find a corner to draw his gun and commit suicide. Moreover, Lei Yi Town's problem is the universal problem of the Fuxing Army, and it is even the universal problem of the Fuxing Army, and even all

The common problem of contemporary intellectuals has continued to the future generations. This is the psychological trauma of a nation from the world's number one to the end. After the Opium War, there were many vassal states that could be proud of themselves. However, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was overturned by a small country like Japan and was beaten to Shanhaiguan without any power to fight back. How could this make the national conditions of the Celestial Empire bear? Now, this country that is completely trampled by 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, it will do its best to prove that this is the mentality that a big country should have? This is completely a behavior of a rich man.

As a person who has experienced later generations, maybe the Celestial Empire was already in that era, maybe he had a preference for psychology and philosophy, did Yang Rui have a mentality of proving something and showing off, but in order to motivate these students to often talk about some things that are worthy of pride in order to boost everyone's fighting spirit, it seems that such things should be less said, otherwise, the plenary session of these students will become nouveau riche, and the country they established will eventually become a large nouveau riche country. Confidence is in the bones, and proof will only show that he lacks confidence. Yang Rui asked the orderly soldiers to get food, and then said to Lei Yizhen: "Many things do not need to be proved, because it is a mistake to prove it. However, this is not your own fault, everyone is wrong. You eat first, you have hungry for a day. Then stay in the General Staff, think clearly about what's going on before returning to the army."

In the pattern of the Revival Society, Yang Rui is always a wise man and a father, while Leo, Zhong Guangui and others are a mother. Among them, Leo, the Western concubine, is the most picky and strict. Now that his father is speaking, Lei Yizhen just nods obediently and goes down.

After Lei Yi Town left, Lei O sighed, "That groom Schroeder poisoned them. This damn bastard! He will make everyone stupid."

Yang Rui said: "No, this has nothing to do with Schroeder, because they are too inferior to themselves. Those who have no money are most afraid of being said to be poor, and those who are ugly are most afraid of others saying that they are not handsome. This is their mentality problem."

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

Yang Rui had long expected this, "Let Bei Shoutong be better. If he does too much of his staff, he can accept some actual command work. Lu Mengxiong is still training in the position of the regiment commander. This person is from a dyeing workshop. He can't let him go too smoothly, otherwise he will be in a mess."

Lei Yizhen's handling result did not inform the entire army. In private, Yang Rui still had to encourage him directly, especially to the lower-level officers and soldiers, and to promote his spirit of not being afraid of decisive battles and daring to show his sword. Later director Zhang Damou also made a movie called "Bright Sword", but the box office was extremely disappointing after it was released. The Chinese people had no interest in defeating their good younger brother Japan. Some Great East Asians accused Lao Mouzi of being a beautiful dog, provoking good relationships between his brother and younger brother for thousands of years, and claiming a reputation as a white-skinned pig.

Bei Shoutong was very frightened when he received the order to command the First Division. He thought Lei Yizhen was locked up by Yang Rui. After inquiring about the guards who followed him, he realized that Lei Yizhen was just staying in the headquarters. He was worried that after Lei Yizhen, he thought of his own responsibility. The First Division plus the Fifth Regiment, and there were more than 12,000 people after the war. Life and death were all in his hands. Before, Lei Yizhen was in front of him. Now he rushed to the front line. He knew Yang Rui's work and rest habits. He asked for instructions after not sleeping all night. Every time Yang Rui replied, "You can do it. Make an idea...", etc., which made him even more at a loss. It was not until the end that he understood what Yang Rui meant. Doing this was to test his ability and mentality of independent command.

He informed the latest enemy situation at a regular meeting at 5:00 a.m.: "Last night, through constant small-scale raids, the Fourth Brigade had been compressed into a small area near the north of Dongsheng Village. Now, according to information, the Japanese Fifth Division set out from Shilihe in the middle of the night. It is estimated that in a few hours, this army will reach Langdonggou. The remaining headquarters of the Eighth Division did not wait for them to arrive but headed to Xujiatai first. It seems that they wanted to rescue the Fourth Brigade with their own abilities. Now Misichenko has blocked them in Xujiatai, and we must eat up this enemy before noon, that is, before the Fifth Division came up."

Everyone knows the situation, and the Cossacks of the Cavalry Army are not good at dismounting and fighting and lack of ability to attack. In addition, it is a mountainous land, so Misichenko had to hand over the task of encircling and annihilation of the Fourth Brigade to the Independent Army, and he blocked the 16th Brigade of the remaining 8th Division on the plains. The situation is still good now and is beneficial to the Russian army, but once the Fifth Division comes up, his army of more than 20,000 may not be able to resist the attack of one and a half divisions of the Japanese army. In particular, the cavalry army still lacks artillery.

Xie Cheng of the Third Regiment said: "Didn't you report information on the reinforcements of the Fifth Division to the Group Army Command yesterday? Didn't the command adjust any of the changes?"

"There are adjustments," said Beshou. "General Billy Jerlinger transferred a division of the 10th Army to Chendan Fort to assist the 15th Division, and then transferred the 14th Division, which originally supported the 15th Division, to the vicinity of Xujiatai to support Misichenko. They set out last night. Now they should be in Xujiatai. 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 the Chendan Fort, so that the 50,000 troops of the three armies can eat the remaining headquarters of the Fifteenth Division and the Eighth Division."

Bei Shoutong said about the plan of the group army. Several regiment commanders were in chaos. Fang Yanchen, the commander of the second regiment, said, "Isn't this a mess? What was the plan before? After tearing the opening, the cavalry army was required to do a quick interlude. Now what are they doing? Let the cavalry fight annihilation war? Besides, after fighting the Eighth Brigade yesterday, most of the grenades were consumed, and the Fourth Brigade would definitely be more difficult to fight. Moreover, they have not been divided and surrounded, but were compressed. With the existing ammunition, I was still worried that I could eat it clean. The most outrageous thing is that when we finished fighting the Fourth Brigade, the ammunition was almost used up, and the soldiers were also very tired. If we chewed the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Brigade, I think we could not fight any more."

Fang Yanchen said something, Bei Shoutong also thought of it, but now the Japanese reinforcements are coming soon. Yesterday, the Army Command changed its idea of ​​cavalry assault in the middle and wanted to fight an annihilation war. If several Russian armies cooperated and when more and more Japanese forces were transferred westward, the Central First Army would have a fierce attack, then the Japanese army would have to be finished, but I think Commander-in-Chief Kuroparkint would not do this.

The third regiment commander Xie Cheng also said, "I guess another division will be transferred tomorrow. By then, it will not be 50,000 to 20,000, but 50,000 to 40,000."

Pan Chengye, the most cautious commander of the fourth regiment, said: "The 15th Division can't defeat Chendan Fort. It's still very dangerous for us to think of a way out. Don't get stuck in it and get out of it all at once. It's better to let the 14th Division fight the Fifth Division and we'll be the backup."

Zhang Zongchang saw these young commanders talking better than each other and didn't say anything for a while. He was a little dissatisfied with the First Division before, but the last hand-to-hand battle yesterday completely convinced him. The bearded men around him also began to look up at the First Division. They all thought to lean towards Yang Rui in order to follow the commander to occupy a large territory after the Russian-Japanese War and live a good life.

Bei Shoutong looked at everyone's opinions and began to know the difficulties of this position. He had to unite the commanders with various ideas. He was still a little difficult to rely on engineers alone. He said: "The ammunition problem has been urged yesterday. The most scarce grenade has been transferred from the Sifangtai yesterday. It can reach the front line around seven o'clock; the Japanese army in the encirclement still fought according to the old tactics, blowing up first, then blowing it apart, and finally piercing it. The battle ended very early yesterday, and the troops were resting. Today, there is still strength to annihilate the enemy. As for what to do after eating this enemy, I will not consider it for now. Now the Japanese army is not clear about the total Russian army that is attacking this time. Once the scale of the attack is known, the Japanese army will mobilize troops at any time. However, because he has to take into account the front line of defense, he will be the same as the division and division. As long as we don’t advance, it will be difficult to surround us. Behind us is Lu Mengxiong, who has not suffered any losses yet."
