I would like to thank ZKM, 1441693618, 14233723, 1946949230, 1810076850, 23, 1913105107, 1436770048, and 1626919055 for their unremitting gift of valuable monthly passes and recommended tickets.

The cavalry battalion of the only regiment finally broke out of the enemy's encirclement, and originally planned to carry out a surprise attack on the enemy's large camp and force the devils who attacked the Beishan position to return to help, so as to reduce the pressure of the enemy's attack on the enemy and firepower, but unexpectedly, it fell into the enemy's trap and almost destroyed the entire cavalry battalion by the enemy.

The commander of the Katayama Brigade of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army, seeing that the cavalry battalion of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which was surrounded by large soldiers, broke out of the encirclement and fled, and angrily ordered the Japanese troops of a brigade in charge of guarding the battalion to pursue the cavalry battalion that was rapidly evacuating to Xishan.

The chief of staff of the brigade Noda quickly shouted to the operational staff officer who was about to convey the order: "Slow, pause the order first." ”

He pulled the commander of the Katayama Brigade, who was angrily standing at the door of the military tent, into the front-line command post, and said in a low voice: "Please General Katayama calm his anger, the Tubalu Cavalry Battalion dares to sneak attack our Japanese battalion, although it is rash to advance in depth and be surrounded by our ambush troops, at this time it actually broke through and fled, there is a conspiracy here, General Katayama." ”

"What does Noda-kun mean?"

"Katayama-kun, the position of the Eighth Route Army held in the north mountain of the military city was attacked by the fierce fire of our large army, with heavy casualties, and the position was almost broken through several times, the cunning commander of the Eighth Route Army sent a cavalry battalion with strong mobility and flexible combat to raid the large camp under our mountain, intending to force the attacking troops of our imperial army to return to reinforcements, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield."

The cunning Chief of Staff Noda frowned at the commander of the Katayama Brigade, and then puffed his tongue and said: "General, the conspiracy of the Tsuchihachi Road has been broken by our Imperial Japanese Army, and the cavalry battalion that has fled to the southwest is not a matter of concern.

The main task of our Fourth Brigade is to march to the vicinity of Chengnanzhuang at the specified time on the orders of Commander Okamura Ningji of the North China Front Army, join up with the 26th Brigade and Regiment, and wipe out several regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region with poor organs and weaponry.

Once the cunning commander of the Eighth Route Army takes the opportunity to send a small force to make a surprise attack, and the large battalion is empty and passively responds to the battle, at that time, in order to ensure the safety of our front-line command post, he will definitely send the attacking troops back to help, so that the Eighth Route Army's Beishan position will soon be broken through, and what kind of result will it be for the action of breaking through the Eighth Route Army's blockade and the troops advancing to Chengnanzhuang? General Katayama, you. ”

The commander of the Katayama Brigade calmed down at this time, and laughed loudly: "Ryshi, Noda-kun's idea is so precise, I, Katayama, have learned the lesson, and ordered our Japanese brigade, which is responsible for guarding the barracks, to increase the vigilance and strictly prevent a sneak attack on the Eighth Road."

The Imperial Japanese Army, which ordered the attack on the Beishan position of the Eighth Route Army, must capture the position of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the Eighth Route Army within half an hour. ”

Commander Katayama's new operational order was quickly issued to the front line, and Major General Oshima, deputy brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade who commanded the attack on the Eighth Route Army's Beishan position, brandished his command knife and howled: "The warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army are invincible imperial soldiers, and within half an hour, they must destroy the Dobachi Road that is entrenched in the mountain peak position and kill ——。 ”

Li Gang, the commander of the only regiment who was sticking to the front of the position, kept a telescope and closely watched the cavalry battalion that had raided the enemy's camp at the foot of the mountain.

Just when Li Gang was worried, he saw a large group of Japanese troops suddenly appear in the enemy camp under the mountain, and with the greatest firepower and frantic speed, they quickly surrounded the cavalry battalion that had entered the enemy camp.

Li Gang nervously knew that yelling was useless, but he still shouted: "Ma Ming, you bastard, quickly lead the cavalry battalion to highlight the enemy camp, and kill me quickly." ”

When the cavalry battalion fought hard and the large army finally broke out of the enemy's encirclement, Li just let out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help shaking his head and shouting: "Grandma's is too dangerous." ”

Just as Li Gang's nervous mood had just relaxed, the attacking little devil seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and frantically launched the most fierce attack on the position.

All the forces of the 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment were pressed on the front of the position, and at this time they were basically in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, and now the enemy suddenly launched a powerful attack again, and the soldiers who held on to the front of the position reluctantly shot the few remaining bullets at the enemy one by one.

Li Gang saw that the attacking enemy was encircling from the front of the position from three directions, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Fifth Regiment, which were deployed in the positions on both flanks, received an order from Li Gang, the commander of the position, at the last moment when they ran out of ammunition, and finally withdrew from their positions under the cover of fire from the frontal positions.

The little devil occupied the positions on both flanks, and with the help of fortifications, the four main battalions of the only regiment that were blocking the frontal attack, launched the maximum range of fire suppression, and covered the rapid breakthrough of the Japanese army.

While encircling the frontal positions of the Eighth Route Army, a large number of enemies adopted firepower to suppress them, gradually advancing and narrowing the encirclement, in an attempt to encircle the Duyi Regiment and the Fifth Regiment and fight again.

The situation on this battlefield is very dangerous, even if the Eighth Route Army all enters the enemy group and starts a white-knuckle battle with the ground, it will not be able to fundamentally repel the enemy's attack, and the position will soon be broken through by the enemy, and the final outcome of the soldiers of the two regiments is to die heroically on the position in the life-and-death struggle with the enemy.

Li Gang saw that the situation on the battlefield was deteriorating rapidly, and if he did not withdraw from his position in time, the entire army would be divided and surrounded by the enemy and carry out a murderous strangulation.

Faced with the critical juncture of the life and death of the troops, Li Gang's heart was like a steel knife piercing, and he really couldn't bear to let these two troops be buried on the battlefield on the front line of the military city under his command.

Li Gang called several regiment commanders to him, and said in a stern tone with a grim face: "Comrades, the telegram sent to the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region requesting to withdraw from the position has not been replied to so far, it must be the second, third, and sixth regiments led by the head of the military region, which have never jumped out of the encirclement in the enemy's encirclement and suppression, and we need to continue to hold our positions on the front line of the military city and block the Japanese Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade from advancing to Chengnanzhuang, so as to reduce the battlefield pressure of the breakthrough troops.

However, if the only regiment and the fifth regiment do not withdraw from their positions in the shortest possible time, our two regiments will all be heroic here. ”

Several regiment commanders looked at Li Gang and knew very well the current situation of the troops, but without orders from their superiors and without completing the task of blocking the attack, it was really a critical moment of life and death, and no cadre could make up his mind to make clear whether the troops were holding on or withdrawing.

Commander Cui of the Fifth Regiment, who was helped to him by the soldiers, endured serious injuries and torture, and seeing that it was difficult for everyone to express their opinions, he said firmly: "If I am the supreme commander of the position, I will definitely lead the troops to hold the position, even if I die on the position, I will never take a step back without the order of the superior leader." ”

Deputy Commander Ma Ming and Chief of Staff Zhou Peng of the only regiment shouted almost at the same time: "We can die in battle, but we will never be deserters." ”

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Ting saw that the enemy was about to surround the mountain peak position, his heart was dripping blood, if he didn't retreat immediately, the entire army would really die here.

He knew that his proposal to retreat would be opposed by his comrades, but he still couldn't bear to say: "Comrades, how difficult it is for us to form a force, and it is even more difficult to bring this army out in the fight of blood and fire and become a hard-core force that bravely kills the enemy. ”

"There's no time to be verbose, you hurry up and say your opinion." Li Gang shouted a little breathlessly, he urgently needed someone to propose to withdraw the troops from the position immediately to ensure the safety of the troops.

Zhang Ting watched everyone fight with the enemy to the end when they were holding their necks, and he couldn't bear to shout: "We can't look at the troops of the Eighth Route Army of thousands of people, just die here, right?" I proposed that another telegram be sent to the head of the military region requesting that he withdraw from his position, and that in order to prevent the troops from being surrounded by the enemy, he would immediately break out of the encirclement and burrow into the Taihang Mountains along the mountain beams to engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy, so as to contain the enemy and keep this fighting force that killed devils. ”

When Li Gang heard Zhang Ting say this, he hit his heart, and he said decisively: "Comrades, I understand everyone's current mood very well, and everyone realizes that withdrawing from the position without authorization is disobeying the orders of the higher authorities and becoming a deserter.

If you don't withdraw from the position, you may be wiped out, but everyone doesn't want to be a deserter, even if you die, you will die on the position of killing the enemy.

But I want to tell you that even if this battle is commanded by the commander of the Lei Jian Regiment here, he will never call the six or seven thousand soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to be buried in the hands of the little devil in such a worthless manner, I order, according to the opinion of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang Ting, immediately send a report to request the withdrawal of the position again, in order to keep this combat force that kills the enemy, now lead the troops to withdraw while fighting, please rest assured, disobey the orders of the higher authorities and withdraw from the position without authorization, and all the consequences will be borne by me Li Gang. ”
