On August 1, 1938, Xue Yue was ordered to command the defense along the Nanxun Railway and along the shores of Poyang Lake in order to crush the Japanese army's attempt to encircle Wuhan from the south. He studied the map repeatedly, trying to find the best way to deploy troops, and he thought of the most common one-word long snake formation, but he suddenly remembered the disadvantages of the linear arrangement of the one-word long snake formation pointed out by Lin Junxiong when he told him about TUO's strategic defense and attack. He wanted to use Lin Junxiong's TUO tactics, but this tactics that were somewhat like retreating and fighting a decisive battle had not been implemented after all, and he didn't dare to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of national troops to practice this tactic.

After thinking about it for a long time, he combined the traditional one-word long snake formation and Lin Junxiong's TUO tactics to think of a compromise tactic, which he named "inverted eight-character pocket tactics". The inverted eight-figure pocket combat method is similar to a long snake formation, regardless of the enemy's attack on its head and tail, the other end can be rescued, and if necessary, the encirclement can be completed, the disadvantage is that if the enemy has superior forces, it can attack the head and tail and the abdomen at the same time, so the prerequisite is that our side has superior forces.

Xue Yue deployed the approximate strength he had envisioned on the map, circled dots, and after making some adjustments, he called the chief of staff to give an order: the 25th Army of the National Revolutionary Army was to defend the lake from Shengjiazui to Xingzi, and the 70th Army of the National Revolutionary Army occupied the line of Niutoushan and Jinguanqiao; The 8th Army occupied the line of Shili Mountain and Zuanlin Mountain, the Fourth Army occupied the northern end of the wheel mountain, Jigongling, and Huangtiannao reserve battlefield, and the 64th Army of the National Revolutionary Army controlled the mountains around Zhongyan, Dayan, Chazi Mountain, and Huluopojian; The 74th Army and the 15th Division of the 73rd Army controlled the vicinity of De'an, and the 66th Army of the National Revolutionary Army controlled the vicinity of Lehua. In this way, in front of Nanxun, it constitutes an "anti-figure-eight position, such as a bag trap rat, and like a flying clipper, the enemy should respond to the center and left if the enemy is on the right, and the center and right should be on the left."

After arranging everything, Xue Yue was very satisfied with this inverted eight-character pocket strategy, and he remembered that his strategy benefited from Lin Junxiong's TUO strategy, so he picked up the phone and dialed it.

"Junxiong, you can't be idle in De'an, I know that you are like a monkey, if you don't jump for a while, you will feel uncomfortable, right?"

"Big brother is joking at me, how is my health lately? Don't just be busy with military affairs, tired and tired, now your sister-in-law is not by your side, every caring person takes care of you, and the eldest brother don't move, it hurts the liver. ”

"I said you kid, what you say is exactly the same as your sister-in-law, do you often communicate and nagging me?"

"Big brother, this is called not knowing good people's hearts, we all care about you, I haven't been in touch with my sister-in-law for a few years, just the last time my sister-in-law gave me that Longxing jade pendant birthday gift, I wrote a letter to thank my sister-in-law, how can there be a special exchange to nag you?"

"Haha, big brother is not right, I misunderstood you, how are you doing over there?"

"Everything is ready, only the commander's orders are owed. Big brother, what is the next step, can you reveal a little bit of military secrets first? ”

"Do you have a detailed map over there, a simple map is fine?"

Xue Yue gave Lin Junxiong a detailed description of his newly created inverted eight-character pocket tactics on the phone, and then explained the general deployment of troops.

"Big brother is really a master of tactics, this defensive tactic is offensive again, if it is executed well, this battle is enough to go down in history."

"You kid don't pat yourself on the back, I still have to thank you, if it weren't for the last time you put that TUO strategic defense and offense, I wouldn't have thought of changing this word long snake strategy into this inverted eight-character pocket strategy, if you are in my position, I am convinced that you will be able to come up with a more perfect strategy than this strategy, you kid is worthy of the name of the party-state in the future."

"Big brother, don't praise me anymore, how dare Junxiong, a firefly, compare with the bright moon of the eldest brother, there is still a lot to learn from the eldest brother."

"Junxiong, there is one thing I have to remind you that the chairman's investigation of you has already begun, you should be cautious, and you should not be a person without party affiliation there, and find an opportunity to apply to join the Kuomintang as soon as possible, so that the chairman can rest assured that he will entrust you with important tasks."

"Well, I'll find a chance to write an application and hand it in, big brother, don't be overminded, Junxiong will be measured."

"Okay, I have something to do, and I'll talk about it again when I have a chance."

Lin Junxiong hung up the phone, thinking about Xue Yue's words, it seemed that he had really attracted Chiang Kai-shek's attention, he called Xie Qin over and said: "Old Xie, now the spy agency sent by Chiang Kai-shek has begun to investigate me, you and the members of the shadow team are all incorporated into the guard company, and I will handle the other procedures. ”

After Xie Qin left, Lin Junxiong pondered Xue Yue's inverted eight-character pocket tactics, thinking that Xue Yue was worthy of a generation of famous generals, and was called the god of anti-Japanese war by later generations. And this inverted eight-character pocket tactic is actually a bit like the expanded version of the TUO tactics he used in Pheasant Gang, maybe he will also become a commander in command of hundreds of thousands of people in the future, and he should gain experience in Xue Yue's tactics, so that his horizons are broader, and his overall awareness is more strengthened.

Lin Junxiong suddenly thought of the difference between the Heavenly Furnace Combat Method used by Xue Yue and the Inverted Eight-Character Pocket Combat Method in several Changsha battles later, in that the "bag" only lured the enemy into the depths, and then surrounded and annihilated it. In fact, it is a tactic of "retreating and fighting a decisive battle", luring the enemy into depth, and then encircling and annihilating it. The "Heavenly Furnace" is to lay out troops in the combat zone into a net-like stronghold, and use ambushes, traps, flanking attacks, tail attacks, and other methods to consume the enemy's strength and morale in stages, and finally, "drag" the enemy troops to the decisive battle area, and then fiercely encircle and annihilate them.

This Tianlu battle method turned out to be an expanded version of the TUO battle method, both of which used the method of retreating and fighting a decisive battle to lure the enemy deep and encircle and annihilate; Both are about taking advantage of favorable terrain to wear down the enemy. The difference is that the Heavenly Furnace strategy is more detailed, while his own TUO strategy only considers dealing with a small number of enemies.

Could it be that Xue Yue later benefited from the enlightenment of the TUO tactics and created this Heavenly Furnace Tactics that made the Japanese army tremble, this is incredible, and his occasional flash of inspiration has such a far-reaching impact, which makes Lin Junxiong a little happy.

The picture is too beautiful, Lin Junxiong doesn't dare to think about it anymore, he is afraid that he can't help but ask himself if he is also a genius of tactics? He shook his head and took a few deep breaths, and walked towards Shang Tianen's residence in the backyard.

"Little Wu, how is the injury?"

Shang Tianen was sitting in the room reading a book, and when Lin Junxiong came in, he hurriedly poured water on him: "Big brother, my injury is no longer in the way, I have survived in the cracks of the Kuomintang army in the past few years, and it is rare to have such a quiet moment." ”

"Yo, it turns out that you want to be lazy with me, what are your plans next?"

"I want to stay with my eldest brother for a while, isn't the Fuxing Society's investigation of me not over? I can't do anything if I want to? ”

"You see I forgot about this stubble, but don't worry, with Xiao Zanyu's help, it should come out soon, don't you worry?"

"I'm really not worried, I'm enjoying my life now, I haven't slept well in the past few years, I've eaten and slept well these days, thank you, big brother."

"I knew that you were going to take the opportunity to be lazy, and the brothers said thank you to each other. By the way, did you have any contact with the party organization after you joined the army? ”

"There was contact in front, and then the Red Army arrived in Yan'an, and the Red Army in Jiangxi turned into guerrillas, so there was less contact, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, I met Comrade Liao Chengxian once, and he asked me to go dormant and wait for the call of the party organization, what about you, big brother?"

"The situation is almost the same, the party organization hasn't contacted me for a long time, and I have developed a few people here, all waiting for approval."

"Big brother, the two people around me, one is called Feng Jun and the other is called Luo Yan, both of them were developed by me, and they have joined the party, so they can be absolutely trusted."

"Well, yes, let's all wait quietly, it is estimated that the party organization will let us sleep in the War of Resistance against Japan."

"Big brother, if you have a worry, I don't know if I should talk about it?"

"Little Wu, when did you become so abrasive, tell me about it."

"You were praised by Chiang Kai-shek as the most dazzling general in the future of the party-state, and said that there was no one, and it spread in various troops, and some said that you and Xue Yue were like brothers, and Chiang Kai-shek loved the house and Wu, so he praised you so much; Some say that you have learned a lot by Xue Yue's side, coupled with your status as a top student of the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, as well as those convincing achievements, you are indeed worthy of the name, and the future can be expected. Anyway, there are a lot of rumors, and I'm afraid it will be bad for you. ”

"Yes, Lao Jiang has already found an excuse to send spies to my troops, nominally to investigate and help, but in fact to check my bottom, I have already made arrangements. And Brother Xue, I just called me to apply for joining the Kuomintang as soon as possible, and I can't make a decision without contacting the party organization, so I can only delay it for the time being. ”

"What you said is just one aspect of my worries, have you ever thought about what will happen when this news reaches the Party Central Committee? The Kuomintang has won Chiang Kai-shek's heavy use of the generals and you as brothers, and Chiang Kai-shek has such a high opinion of you, and he wants to reuse you. ”

"No, there shouldn't be those villains within the party, and if you say that those who are clear will clear themselves, I don't believe they can say that the white is black."

"I hope so! The eldest brother also knows in his heart the situation within our party, there are still remnants of left-leaning ideology, and there are signs of right-leaning doctrine on the rise, so it is better to be careful in everything. ”

"Now things can only go with the flow, the boat to the bridge is naturally straight, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't worry about those, what should come will always come; Things that won't happen, thinking too much will only add to the troubles. ”

Shang Tianen talked about his experience over the years, listening to Shang Tianen's grievances and thrills, Lin Junxiong felt a little sorry for this brother-like brother.
