Lin Junxiong sat in the conference room of the brigade headquarters, full of ambition, thinking that in the past four years, he had been promoted from battalion commander to current brigade commander in the Kuomintang army, and he had more command power in his hands and the capital to fight the Japanese army.

Seeing that the people sitting in the conference room were basically acquaintances, and many of them were brothers who had fought together, he said slowly: "I have worked hard for you brothers in the more than one month that I have not been here. I think the chief of staff of the Wei has already told you about the position of the brothers, and I will report it as soon as possible, and I believe that it will be approved soon, and I congratulate you in advance. ”

After Lin Junxiong finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and all the officers also applauded, thinking that he was promoted to one or even two levels, they were all happy in their hearts, and their faces were even more joyful, and they said with a noble smile: "Thanks to the brigade commander for cultivation, we will definitely do our best to achieve better results with the brigade commander, and congratulations to the brigade commander on his promotion." ”

Lin Junxiong motioned for everyone to stop with his hand, and then said: "When the country is in danger and the party-state really needs us, I believe in the talents of your brothers, but please also put away the pride in your hearts for the time being, and carry out the next troop training in a down-to-earth manner, I have only one request, according to the training method of the original 89th regiment, as soon as possible, train their respective troops into a brave division that can fight tough battles and win battles." The ugly words are said first, and if anyone doesn't do his best, I can remove him at any time. ”

Everyone put away their joy and stood up one after another to express their determination to complete the task, and if they could not complete it in a short time, they would ask for punishment.

Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, and even the nobles of the 332 regiment, which was almost a new recruit, promised that the troops would be brought out within two or three months, Lin Junxiong nodded with satisfaction, and then explained to everyone the TUO tactical defensive and offensive tactics he invented, and then discussed and studied with everyone on the timing of the conversion, and finally Lin Junxiong said: "This tactic is not completely new, but it is a blend of many traditional tactics. Be able to accurately grasp the timing of the attack. At the same time, you should also understand that the TUO tactics pay attention to the coordination between the troops, and there must be a rapid mobile force in each unit, and at present, our mobile force cannot be through mechanical means such as automobiles, but can only improve the troops' long-distance running ability through training physical fitness, and everyone must integrate the troops well after going back, and at least one battalion of each regiment can have complete combat capability after a long-distance attack. ”

"Brigade commander, is it not possible to organize the units that do not have long-distance combat for the time being into heavy weapons and other forces, conceal or strike at the enemy on the spot, and equip the troops with long-range combat capabilities with light machine guns and automatic weapons for mobile combat, and finally all participating units cooperate in encirclement and annihilation?"

"Commander Tang said very well, that's what he meant, noble your 332nd Regiment has more recruits, and in the near future, it will first focus on training defensive warfare, and then step by step, don't rush it. If there is any battle to be fought in the near future, your troops should be prepared for a defensive battle, and the 45th and 89th regiments will be two mobile forces. ”

Everyone said the doubts in their hearts and discussed them with everyone one by one, Lin Junxiong first asked everyone to discuss together, and finally said their own opinions. The people of the old 89th Regiment were not surprised to get used to it, but Tang Jijun and several officers of the original 90th Regiment admired Lin Junxiong even more in their hearts, and gave them the right to speak, but they could solve their problems accurately.

Lin Junxiong looked at the actions of several officers of the original 90th regiment brought by Tang Jijun, and nodded with satisfaction, what he wanted was to start with the officers, and everyone should form a good overall team atmosphere as soon as possible. Seeing that everyone didn't mean to stop, he asked Xie Qin to prepare some fruits and snacks and bring them over.

In this way, the first meeting of the new brigade headquarters turned into a tea party under the leadership of Lin Junxiong, and then it became a good story in the troops, and at the same time, the brigade commander's various clever opinions and good use of people also spread, so that the entire 45th Brigade quickly formed an overall prototype with Lin Junxiong as the core.

An afternoon passed quickly, Lin Junxiong saw that it was not early, and Xie Qin also said that dinner was ready, so he interrupted everyone's discussion: "Brothers, the coming day is long, everyone can have more such discussions in the future, but there is one thing that cannot be endlessly calculated on one issue, if there is any problem dispute, you can come to me at any time, I need to build the entire 45th Brigade into a whole, an invulnerable iron plate." Now that this concludes our meeting for today, it is time for us to offer sacrifices to our temples and a small feast for your promotion. ”

In the next few days, the three regiment commanders wrote a training plan based on the situation in their respective regiments, and they discussed it with Wei Xin and Lin Junxiong, who was very satisfied with their training plan, and ordered them to implement it after making some simple additions and modifications.

The entire 45 th Brigade was shrouded in a training atmosphere with high morale, and Lin Junxiong also personally went to each regiment to inspect the situation and put forward some of his own views in connection with the training situation.

Two months have passed, Lin Junxiong is very satisfied with the training of the regiments, especially the noble 332 regiment, I don't know what means he used to deceive and deceive, the 332 reserve regiment has reached the number of a regular regiment, and he also pestered Lin Junxiong to transfer some veterans of the original 89 regiment to him as officers, and the training of the troops has not been left behind.

Lin Junxiong organized the whole brigade to carry out a TUO tactical exercise, and all units were able to arrive at the designated position at the scheduled time, so that Lin Junxiong was even more confident in his heart, in addition to the superiority of the Japanese army in weapons and equipment, he was confident that the 45th Brigade was superior in morale and individual combat, and also had the ability to fight a war with the same number of Japanese troops.

In May 1938, Xue Yue was transferred to the commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the First Theater of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, stationed in Kaifeng, Henan, and commanded the 74th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the 71st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the 64th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the 8th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, as well as the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the newly formed 35th and 88th Divisions, and the 264th Brigade to conduct the Battle of Lanfeng. He determined that the 13th Division of the Japanese army that had invaded from Hezenan would first be destroyed in Lanfeng and its vicinity; Then move troops to annihilate other enemy forces in Luxi and eastern Henan, so as to achieve the purpose of defending the Jinghan Railway and preventing the Japanese army from advancing westward.

On May 14, the 13th Division of Tufeiyuan fled south from Heze with hundreds of tanks, automobiles, and artillery tractors. Within a few days, they captured Neihuang, Yifeng, Yejigang, Chuzhuang and other places, in an attempt to eliminate the main force of the defenders in the Lanfeng area, and then occupy the Jinghan Railway and encircle Wuhan.

Lin Junxiong's 45th Brigade was stationed in Lankao County, Henan Province as the war progressed, and when he heard that the battle in Lanfeng was tight, he was anxious, and asked Wang Dongchen to fight several times, but he was asked to continue to rest and recuperate, and he would be sent to the front line when the time was right.

On this day, Lin Junxiong and Wei Xin were talking about the formation of the unit's communications company, artillery company, transportation battalion, health team, and spy team at the brigade headquarters.

"Junxiong, how is the training of the troops, I heard Dongchen say that you have come to him several times to ask for battle, and he is so annoyed by you that he came to me."

"Big brother, the army is almost trained, am I not anxious that the army is always training and can't get the actual combat test? The commander has complained to you, huh? ”

"Toshio, how is the troop configuration, is it done?"

"Big brother, there are some deficiencies in equipment, there are only 4 Czech light machine guns in each company, only 5 Maxim machine guns in the battalion heavy machine guns, and only 5 82 mortars in the regimental mortars, and some of the troops use old-fashioned Zhongzheng rifles."

"You also have to understand Dongchen, the current supplies are all allocated to the front-line combat troops, and the supply of weapons and equipment for troops like you who are trained is slower."

"Big brother, you can transfer me to the front line to participate in the battle, now the morale of the 45th Brigade is high, and it is fully capable of fighting, I promise you."

"You kid, I know that you can't be idle, I called to discuss with Dongchen to transfer you to the front line and cooperate with the annihilation of the enemy who came to attack Lanfeng, now you are happy."

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, commander, I will definitely not let you down."

"You prepare, the weapon supplies for you tomorrow morning should arrive, and in the afternoon, you will set off to Pheasant Hill, and wait for the next order after recovering Pheasant Hill."

"Yes!"

When General Lin Junxiong's troops were ordered to regain Pheasant Gang, Fang Yun, Tang Jijun and Gao Shang were even more excited, and they went back to prepare.

The next day, the 45th Brigade received a supply of weapons, 500 new Neutral rifles, 50 Czech light machine guns, 10 heavy machine guns, 12 82 mortars, and a number of bullets. Although many of the weapons were old-fashioned, Lin Junxiong was still very happy, and he allocated the heavy machine guns to the 332nd Regiment, most of the 50 light machine guns were allocated to the 45th and 89th Regiments, and rifles and mortars were evenly distributed.

After the weapons distribution was completed, Lin Junxiong said solemnly to several officers: "Brothers, the next thing is to test the effect of our training for more than two months, this is the first battle of the new 45th Brigade, we must fight beautifully, if anyone drags their feet, don't blame me Lin for being unkind." ”

Lin Junxiong asked Weixin again how the logistics preparations were going, and he received a positive answer, and he ordered the troops to go back to prepare immediately, set off at noon, and carry out the three days ordered by the headquarters to arrive at Yeji Gang and capture Pheasant Gang.
