When the troops set off, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, and Lin Junxiong gave orders to all regiments that no matter how difficult it was, they must rush to Pheasant Gang and occupy Pheasant Gang within three days.

The light rain did not dampen the morale of the officers and men of the 45th Brigade, and the muddy roads did not stop their advance, the 45th and 89th regiments took the lead, the 332nd regiment lagged behind, and the troops braved the rain to reach Pheasant Gang the next day. By the time Lin Junxiong arrived outside Yejigang with the later troops of the brigade headquarters, it was already the third day, and he was about to ask the 45th and 89th regiments to send the deployment of Japanese troops and terrain to Yejigang to study the strategy of attacking Yejigang, Fang Yun and Tang Jijun came to Lin Junxiong.

"Fang Yun and Jijun came just in time, come, let's talk about the situation in Pheasant Gang."

Neither of them spoke, but Fang Yun was smiling on the side, while Tang Jijun was shaking his head and smiling bitterly like a defeated rooster on the side.

"What's the matter, Jijun, what's wrong with your expression?"

"Brigade Commander, you better let Regiment Commander Fang say, it's not easy to fight with you, it's like a tiger and a wolf, you can't even drink a mouthful of soup if you take a slow step."

"Huh? Fang Yun, what happened, tell me about it? Lin Junxiong listened to Tang Jijun's strange words and asked Fang Yun suspiciously.

"Brigade commander, we arrived at Pheasant Gang last night, there was only one squadron of Japanese troops guarding, I saw that the Japanese defense was lax, and there were almost no guards behind Pheasant Gang, so I led the troops to annihilate all the Japanese troops on Pheasant Gang, and five of the troops were wounded and not killed. Commander Tang's troops were half an hour slower than me, and when he arrived, our 45th Regiment had just finished cleaning up the battlefield, so he was sulking with himself? Commander Tang, or I will divide half of the more than 100 rifles I captured last night. ”

"Go, go, our 89th regiment will go to the Japanese to rob it, I don't want you to give it to us."

Lin Junxiong understood what happened, laughed out loud, and said to Tang Jijun: "Jijun, there is an opportunity behind you, don't blush that little bit of loot." ”

"The brigade commander is right, there are more opportunities in the future, our 89th regiment loses one game first, old man, let's see, don't let me down too far behind."

Lin Junxiong hugged the two of them on the left and on the right and said: "You two are the pillars of the 45th Brigade, and good competition is okay, but you must remember not to hurt the unity between the troops for the sake of grabbing credit." ”

"Brigade commander, don't worry, we are all like brothers, so it will provoke some competition and help improve the morale of the troops, and we all have a sense of proportion."

"Also, brigade commander, you are the pillar of the troops, and the two of us are just your left and right protectors."

"Fang Yun, you kid has recently learned to slap the sycophants, a united army can be invincible, if you fight separately and want to scatter the sand, it is easy to be defeated by the enemy, we face a well-equipped and well-trained Japanese army, if we don't unite, the war will definitely be lost."

"We know, brigade commander, when I rushed to Pheasant Hill with the 89th Regiment, I encountered four Japanese soldiers who had fled, and I deliberately let them go, and the Japanese reinforcements should arrive soon."

"The relay army has done a good job, your 45th Regiment and 89th Regiment immediately withdrew from Pheasant Gang and scattered to both sides, and I and the 332nd Regiment were stationed in Pheasant Gang to wait for the Japanese army, and this time we will wipe them all out in this Pheasant Gang."

If you design according to your own TUO tactics, the 332nd Regiment retreats while defending, and the 45th and 89th regiments are outflanked from the flanks, but the 332nd Regiment retreats from the flank, but the 332nd Regiment retreats when it is not timely, and it is easy to be bitten and eliminated by the Japanese army.

The next day, the reconnaissance company sent back the news that the Japanese reinforcements had a brigade, and it was less than ten miles away from Pheasant Gang. Lin knew that a decision had to be made as soon as possible, and although the number of Japanese troops was three times larger, frontal resistance would increase the casualties of the troops. He carefully looked at the current location of the Japanese army on the map, analyzed the route of the Japanese army's advance to Pheasant Gang with a pen, and found that there were some small hills on both sides of the route that could be ambushed and used, especially near Pheasant Gang.

Lin Junxiong secretly scolded himself for always confined to the TUO tactics and used one unit to attract the enemy to go deeper, and the two flanks formed an ambush, and then formed an encirclement. In today's situation, the 332nd Regiment is defending with the terrain advantage of Yeji Gang in the front, and the 45th Regiment and the 89th Regiment can advance directly from the two flanks and use the small hill to form an encirclement.

Lin Junxiong immediately ordered the 45th Regiment and the 89th Regiment to move 5 miles on both sides, advance covertly, and when the Japanese army attacked Yejigang, they would immediately shrink and occupy the favorable terrain and form an encirclement of the Japanese army. Fang Yun and Tang Jijun were originally preparing to retreat, but after receiving Lin Junxiong's order, they were a little puzzled at first, but after looking at the map, they quickly understood Lin Junxiong's intentions, and immediately ordered the troops to advance to the flank.

A Japanese division was stationed 40 kilometers away from Pheasant Gang, and after the soldiers who fled back described the attack on Pheasant Gang, the division commander determined that about one regiment of the national army attacked Pheasant Gang, and he ordered one brigade to go first, and transferred another brigade to support, and he ordered the advance brigade to hold on to the defenders of Pheasant Gang for three days, and then wipe out all the defenders together after the supporting brigade arrived.

So an interesting scene was formed in front of Pheasant Gang, the Japanese army was desperately rushing to Pheasant Gang, and on both sides of Pheasant Gang, two troops were secretly advancing in the opposite direction of Pheasant Gang.

After the Japanese army arrived at Pheasant Hill, they immediately launched a tentative attack after resting for a while, and the troops were commanding the troops to defend, while the 45th and 89th regiments were quietly shrinking from the flanks.

After the first tentative attack, the Japanese army did not seem to want to immediately launch a general attack on Pheasant Gang, but launched an attack intermittently, as if afraid that Lin Junxiong and they would take the opportunity to escape, Lin Junxiong knew that the Japanese army's calculation was that once they retreated, they would definitely take advantage of the panic attack of the retreat of the troops, so delayed, they must be waiting for other troops, when he learned that the 45th and 89th regiments were in place, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "The wonderful will start soon." ”

On the pheasant gang, the 332nd regiment artillery company began to continuously shell the attacking Japanese army, and then there were continuous shells falling on the left and right sides, the Japanese captain under the command began to panic, shouting that he was ambushed, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat, but after retreating two miles against the firepower on both sides, the front encountered fierce artillery fire, and wanted to rush out several times, but in the face of fire attacks from three directions, after heavy casualties, the Japanese captain under the command continued to command the troops to hit the left and right, and the rear noble also led the troops to continue to press forward, Soon the Japanese army was surrounded within a radius of one mile, like a turtle in an urn.

The Japanese captain watched in distress as nearly half of the troops were killed and wounded, holding his head in his hands and trying to find a way out, and the three squadron leaders in charge of the attack came back one after another with their heads hung down and reported that there were enemies on all sides and that the troops were surrounded, and he thought about ordering the troops to find advantageous terrain to hold on, and told the troops to hold on for a day and reinforcements would come.

Lin Junxiong originally wanted the three regiment commanders to command this battle of annihilation on their own, but saw that the Japanese army was holding on to a small hill and could not break through the Japanese defense for three hours, and the casualties of the troops continued to increase. He sent orders to the three regimental commanders, each regiment to attack for three hours at a time, with one battalion at a time, and the other two battalions to rest, and so on, to first exhaust the enemy, and then launch a general attack at four o'clock tomorrow morning.

The Japanese felt that the firepower of the attack had weakened a lot, and they did not know what other attempts the encircled national army had, so they did not dare to organize a breakthrough, and only hoped that they could hold out until the large army arrived, so they could only defend with all their efforts. In the face of the endless attacks of the Nationalist army, although the casualties were not great, fatigue and fear tormented the Japanese army all the time.

However, the high concentration of the Japanese army for a long time made the Japanese army exhausted and their morale was extremely low, although the officers constantly encouraged them to hold on until tomorrow when reinforcements would arrive, but the soldiers' depressed mood could not be driven away, and as time went by, the despair became deeper and deeper, and many soldiers began to pray silently, hoping to live. At one o'clock in the morning, when the 45th Brigade changed battalions to attack, many Japanese soldiers even gave up the attack in a low mood, waiting for surrender behind bunkers, and after the officers shot some passive fighters, they had to drag their tired bodies into the battle.

At 3:50 a.m., Lin Junxiong ordered Fang Yun, Tang Jijun and Gao Shang to prepare for a general attack, and he dispersed the shadow team into three regiments, saying to the three regiment commanders that it was his own guard squad, and the shadow team was given the task of sniping Japanese officers and machine gunners.

Lin Junxiong did not want to use artillery bombardment to break the last insistence of the Japanese army before attacking, but the artillery equipment of the troops was seriously insufficient, and he also wanted to leave some to face the next bitter battle.

At four o'clock in the morning, after a round of shelling, the Japanese troops who were sticking to the hill retreated one after another, and the soldiers of the 45th Brigade quickly pressed the forward position, and the members of the shadow team continued to kill the Japanese commanders and machine gunners, and many Japanese soldiers saw that the commander was killed, and immediately became a mess and were eliminated by the soldiers of the 45th Brigade who rushed up.

The gunfire on the hill gradually thinned out, Lin Junxiong put his mind at ease, and saw that the time was only 4:50, and in less than an hour, the Japanese troops on the hill were wiped out.

Soon, Fang Yun, Tang Jijun and Gao Shang came to Lin Junxiong to say that the battle was over, our army suffered more than 300 casualties, and the Japanese army was annihilated except for dozens of people who surrendered. Lin Junxiong said with a calm face: "The casualties of the troops still exceeded my imagination, all the prisoners were killed, they are invaders, their hands are stained with the blood of the Chinese, there is no need to be merciful." ”

Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the three of them, Lin Junxiong said coldly: "In my army, my soldiers must be mentally prepared, instead of being tortured after being captured, it is better to die happily and be a hero." No prisoners are allowed in my troops, and I never accept them. Whatever happens, I'll take care of it, and I'll do it! ”

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Lin Junxiong sighed: "No one wants to be a butcher, but in a cruel war, mercy will only make people's hearts softer and softer. Since the Japanese enjoy the joy of killing, they also have to bear the pain of being killed. ”
