Lei Jian was anxious in his heart, and quickly rushed to the lower reaches of the Tiechuan River, when he found that a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army appeared in the position on the west bank, the anxiety in his heart was relieved, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, and all the troops withdrew from the east bank position, and it was still not steady.

Wang Xiaoliang, who led the troops to quickly withdraw to the west bank, ordered the four battalions, which were relatively well-formed, to stick to the forward position on the river beach, and once it was discovered that Regiment Commander Lei was leading the troops to rush onto the pontoon bridge from the east bank of the river, he would use the most fierce fire to block the pursuing Japanese troops.

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting, "From the south, along the west bank of the Tiechuan River, a cavalry team is rushing over." ”

Wang Xiaoliang rushed out of the trench without caring for anything, and rushed to the cavalry troops rushing over, while believing that this cavalry team was Lei Jian and they were back.

Running frantically, he finally met the cavalry troops rushing over, Lei Jian grabbed the reins of the horse and jumped, fell from the horse to the ground, and hugged Wang Xiaoliang tightly with the pounce.

Wang Xiaoliang cried with tears in his eyes: "Commander Lei, in the battle of Lao Ye Mountain, we sacrificed too many soldiers, they, they were killed by the little devils like this, we are still alive, still alive——。 ”

Lei Jian held Wang Xiaoliang, whose shoulders were twitching, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xiaoliang, please stay calm, the only group of soldiers who are still alive are watching us, if we are not strong, the psychology of the soldiers will collapse, stop the tears and return to the position immediately." ”

Returning to the position on the west bank of the Tiechuan River, Lei Jian looked at the light and serious wounded lying or half-reclining, and then looked at the three positions on the east bank.

No, what these soldiers are pursuing with their lives, they sometimes don't know themselves, but they know that the land has been ruined, and the people have suffered from humiliation and slaughter, all of which are caused by the heinous little devils, and only by carrying guns and participating in the Eight Roads and defeating the little devils can they have a country and a family and relatives.

They died heroically, but the brutal battle scene of the heroic killing of the enemy, the thunder sword will always exist in the memory, and it cannot be forgotten, and it is not dared to be forgotten. They want to use their lives to defend the right to live for themselves and their relatives, and it is their simplest and most tragic wish to kill devils and die on the battlefield.

Lei Jian's eyes were blurred, he wanted to cry, he wanted to cry, he wanted to cry, he cried out the grief in his heart, and cried out his anger at the little devil, but tears could not drown the little devil, and the fire of anger could not burn the little devil, he wanted to lead the soldiers who were still alive to avenge the country, for the family, for the heroic comrades-in-arms, and for the villagers who died tragically under the bayonets of the devil's guns.

He turned his head sharply and ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "Order you to immediately organize a death squad, rush across the pontoon bridge, and put the comrades who killed the enemy and died heroically, tidy up their appearance, and bury them well, we are still alive The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, we can't watch the violent corpses of our brothers who died in battle, you hurry up for me." ”

Lei Jian said to Zhang Ting, the commander of the first battalion: "You lead a battalion and a company to cover the death squad, bury the sacrificed comrades on the position, and act immediately." ”

Wang Xiaoliang and Zhang Ting said with some embarrassment: "Commander Lei, the east bank of the Tiechuan River is burned by the scorching heat, and the soldiers are risking their lives again, isn't it ......." ”

"Bastard, am I dead, and you are also strong, can our warriors abandon our violent corpses on the battlefield for fear of being scorched?"

Lei Jian angrily ordered the death squad and guard squad formed: "You come with me, immediately rush to the east bank, and bury the sacrificed comrades." ”

A unit led by Lei Jian quickly passed through the pontoon bridge, risked the enemy's re-attack, endured the scorching heat of the forward position, and resolutely rushed to the east bank, burying the sacrificed comrades as quickly as possible.

Lei Jian is not a reckless and blind commander, he knows in his heart that the assembly place of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army is the center of the raging fire, at this time, the little devil should flee for his life, either flee to Lao Ye Mountain, or flee to the northwest along Hengshi Road, and will not stay in the center of the fire field where people can't stand, and the stupid hat is waiting for the fire to scorch.

He instructed the soldiers to sort out the remains of the sacrificed soldiers with the fastest speed and the most rigorous methods, and bury these most respectable young comrades-in-arms.

Lei Jian held the binoculars and saw that there were about a large number of devils, entrenched halfway up the mountain on the western slope of Lao Yeshan, and they were forced by the fire waves below the mountain to retreat up the mountain.

He looked at his watch, and the hour hand pointed that at 6:25 a.m. on 26 August 1940, the only regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region had successfully completed the task of holding on to Laoye Mountain and blocking the westward advance of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army to reinforce Zhengtai Road, and had successfully completed it at the cost of blood and lives, and could now withdraw from the battlefield immediately.

Wang Xiaoliang, who had been busy for a while, walked up to Lei Jian, and was just about to explain with a heavy heart, Lei Jian waved his hand and said: "Xiaoliang, don't say it again, I know that your heart is also very uncomfortable, sometimes it is also to protect the soldiers who are still alive, I don't blame you, but we must remember that as long as we fight every time, we must bury the sacrificed comrades, which is our responsibility as commanders, and it is also the responsibility that we should have as a comrade-in-arms." ”

"Captain Lei, don't worry, I, Wang Xiaoliang, will always remember."

"Order the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, quickly withdraw to the west bank of the Tiechuan River, seize the time, do a good job of the battlefield troops' soldiers, weapons and ammunition inventory and brief summary, and closely monitor the next move of the devils."

Lei Jian led the troops who buried the sacrificed comrades-in-arms and returned to the west bank of the Tiechuan River, he saw the only regiment of soldiers who were still alive, his mood was a little low, Lei Jian not only felt some emotion in his heart, he must immediately convene an emergency military meeting on the battlefield to deploy the political and ideological work of the troops and military action orders.

At this time, a huge cavalry team rushed up from downstream, and Lei Jian saw that the saddles of many war horses were empty, and he held back the grief in his heart and did not let tears flow out, but he couldn't do it, and tears still poured out disobediently.

The cavalry battalion that rushed to the front of the position, the leader was Li Gang, when Li Gang and a tall soldier jumped to the ground, his heels were not stable, and he ran towards Lei Jian, Lei Jian recognized it, this big soldier who ran over was none other than the old independent regiment, now the deputy head of the East Vertical Independent Regiment, and his old comrade-in-arms Niu Dali.

Niu Dali is about the same size as Lei Jian, but his body is stronger than Lei Jian, he didn't care about anything and pounced on Lei Jian, hugged his old head tightly, and cried with tears in his eyes: "My good head and brother, we are all still alive." ”

"Bastard, don't you have an auspicious word when you meet? What dead and alive, stand up for me, I see if you have lost weight. ”

Niu Dali was embarrassed by Lei Jian's words, stood up straight, saluted and shouted: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, I, Niu Dali, drink cold water and grow meat, and I haven't lost weight yet, please criticize." ”

"Okay, now that our troops are not out of danger, maybe the little devil will temporarily give up westward reinforcements out of revenge, and attack my only regiment again, I will hold a field military meeting now, if you have no opinions, you can attend, you ......."

"Captain Lei, thank you for trusting me so much." Niu Dali looked back at several old comrades-in-arms gratefully, shook hands with them one by one, and when he hugged Wang Xiaoliang, he couldn't help but feel emotional, and said with tears: "Wang Xiaoliang, you kid wants me to die." ”

Lei Jian seized the time to convene a field military meeting above the battalion level, and he did not make any fuss, and asked the battalion commanders and commanders of other units to report the casualties of the troops and the allocation of weapons and ammunition in a simple and clear manner.

In the battle of Lao Ye Mountain, the only regiment paid a heavy price, and the reconnaissance platoon and guard squad led by him, in the Lao Ye Mountain blocking battle, except for the reconnaissance platoon left under the cliff, Qu Jiaming, who took care of the soldiers of the war horse and the position, was still alive, and almost all of them were killed.

Only Song Tiedan, the squad leader, was left in the guard squad, and now he was seriously injured and was transferred to the rear.

Of the more than 800 soldiers in the first battalion, there are now less than two companies left, and the casualties of the second and third battalions are relatively small, and the soldiers of the first battalion can be supplemented by the forward position, and more than half of the casualties are inflicted.

The positions of the artillery company were destroyed, and less than a platoon of soldiers of a company was left to die a heroic death under the sudden blow of the enemy's artillery fire.

Lei Jian looked at the summary table from the newspaper, and he said with a heavy heart: "Comrades, we have successfully completed the task of reinforcing Zhengtai Road with the 581st Wing assigned to us by the Shanxi.......-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to block the westward advance in Laoye Mountain, but the only regiment has been dealt an unprecedented heavy blow, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. ”
