The commander of the Japanese artillery squad received an order to bombard the heights of the 1st Battalion of the Eighth Route Army again, and he ordered the artillery shooters: "Aim at the forward positions of the Eighth Route Road, open fire, open artillery, and sweep the Eighth Route from the position." ”

Niu Dali saw that the devil began to shell the high ground again, he was hit in the head by a bullet at that time, and he was in a coma for a while and was not fatal, at this time he saw the enemy shells flying, he let out an angry roar: "The fighters in the forward position put on their bayonets, kill into the enemy group to avoid the shells, and block the enemy from rushing to the position, and the soldiers in the second and third positions behind will immediately retreat fifty meters and rush." ”

Ignoring the fact that his head was still bleeding, he grabbed the rifle beside him, quickly inserted the bayonet, and rushed out of the position first, killing the enemy group.

The forward position of the 1st battalion of the Independent Regiment was less than the strength of a company, and Niu Dali took the lead in breaking out of the trenches and was about to rush to the forward position.

Each soldier was entangled by several devils, although the soldiers of the first battalion have undergone intensive training, and their fighting skills are much higher than those of other companies, and they can fight with well-trained devils who attack frantically.

Some soldiers fought to the death, and at the last moment of their lives, they were crumbling and pulled the grenades on their bodies, and died with the enemy.

Around the other fighters, many soldiers kept falling in pools of blood, and seeing that the soldiers who had killed the enemy group would soon be killed in this battle of blood and fire, Niu Dali shouted decisively: "Withdraw your position and repel the devil's attack with the greatest firepower." ”

Of the soldiers who withdrew from the enemy group to the forward position, less than half of the seventy or eighty soldiers who were killed came back alive, and these soldiers who returned to their positions from the enemy group were all stabbed several times, and their bodies were stained red with blood.

The soldiers who retreated to 50 meters to avoid the bombardment of the Japanese artillery shells, and saw that the soldiers who rushed into the enemy group and fought bravely to kill the enemy had already returned to the position at this time, and Commander Zheng shouted: "The second company will enter the position immediately, and we must repel the attack of the devils." ”

The soldiers of the two companies deployed on this No. 1 high ground fought bravely and repelled the fifth attack of the Japanese army in succession, at this time the position was filled with gunsmoke and the high ground became a scorched earth.

Niu Dali suffered a head injury due to excessive blood loss, and just now he entered the enemy group, and in the fight with the enemy's life and death, he fainted several times and was about to fall, but he held a rifle with a bayonet, and insisted on fighting with the approaching devils.

When he saw that the soldiers had suffered heavy casualties in the enemy group, if he continued to fight like this, all the fighters who entered the enemy group would die in the enemy group.

Niu Dali used his last strength, shouted to withdraw from the battle, and his body was about to fall down as soon as he was weak, if it wasn't for the soldiers around him to break through the devil's encirclement and kill, and snatch Niu Dali out of the enemy group in time, Niu Dali would have died tragically under the enemy's random knife.

Niu Dali, who was snatched back, lay in a coma in the front position, and the soldiers around him called over and over again, Zheng Tie cried and shouted: "Deputy Commander Niu, you can't just close your eyes like this, if Commander Lei asks me for someone, how can I, I Zheng Tie explain, woo woo woo ......." ”

Just when Zheng Tie was crying out in grief, the soldiers in the front line shouted angrily: "Bastard, the little devil killed our deputy head Niu and so many comrades-in-arms, today Lao Tzu fought with you." ”

With the screams of the warriors, fierce gunfire rang out on the high ground, and the little devil was like an endless cockroach, hunched over with his gun in his hand, and launched a seventh attack on the high ground while holding the fire.

At this time, the situation on the No. 1 Heights was very severe, relying on one battalion and two companies alone to block the attack, and the attack of the Japanese army several times that was several times that of ours was defeated, even if all the soldiers of the battalion were stained with blood on the position, they could not stop the repeated attacks of the devils, and in the end, the devils would break through the No. 1 Heights with absolute superiority and stepping on the blood stains of the martyrs.

Zheng Tie listened to the shouts of the soldiers who risked their lives and fought fiercely with the enemy, he gently put down Niu Dali, picked up a machine gun beside him, and rushed to the forward position in his arms.

At this extremely dangerous tense moment, suddenly in the rear of the devil's attack force, fierce gunfire sounded, the formation of the Japanese army attacking the high ground first from the bottom of the mountain in chaos, the devils who were about to attack the forward position, when they heard the gunfire on the rear road, they looked back in fright, and couldn't help shouting: "Bastard, how can there be a cavalry team of the Eighth Road in the rear?" ”

Zheng Tie took advantage of the devils who attacked the forward position, and when he was slow to move in shock, he ordered the soldiers of the second and third companies to attack the attacking devils with maximum firepower.

The devil who rushed in front was hit by the fire and lay on the ground to fight back, but the rear was attacked, and he had no intention of fighting, Zheng Tie shouted violently: "Get on the bayonet, drive the little devil who rushed up the mountain, kill——。 ”

The devil was suddenly killed by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who rushed out of the forward position, and the little devil who killed retreated in a hurry, Zheng Tie led the soldiers to kill the attacking little devil until he was halfway up the hill, he was afraid of being counterattacked by the enemy's fire, and decisively ordered: "Cross cover, quickly retreat to the forward position." ”

This time, they rushed into the enemy group to fight, and although they drove the enemy out of the forward position, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and less than half of the more than 300 soldiers who could still participate in the battle in the entire position were left at this time, and there were nearly 100 brave soldiers, and the number of light and serious wounded was also increasing sharply.

The cavalry troops that appeared in the enemy's rear to attack were the first and third companies of cavalry led by Li Gang, according to the deployment of the thunder sword, with the help of the cover of the green gauze tent, quietly approached the enemy, and suddenly launched the most fierce attack on the unsuspecting devil tail team.

Standing in the command tent to watch the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, who were about to occupy the position of the Eighth Route Army with the most powerful offensive force, he put down his binoculars and smiled at the chief of staff: "Matsumoto-kun, my troops will soon capture the forward position of the Eighth Route Road, according to this attack speed, before dark, the troops can reach the Fengzhuang Railway Station in time, and mine can complete the marching task issued by the brigade commander, hahaha." ”

Matsumoto nodded flatteringly and said: "Your Excellency Dazuo, your command of the Imperial Japanese Army has launched many attacks on the main force of the Tubalu Road, and the results are brilliant, and you will definitely be rewarded by the brigade commander, ha..." ”

Before Matsumoto could laugh a second time, he suddenly heard the neighing of war horses shaking the earth, and in the blink of an eye, a large group of cavalry pounced and launched a fierce strangulation against the Japanese tail team that was attacking the high ground of the Eighth Route Army.

The little devil was hit by sudden fire, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and lay on the ground to counterattack.

Li Gang led the soldiers of the first and third companies of the cavalry to rush into the enemy group with a shout, some shot and killed the devils, some waved their sabers and flew up and down, and the bones of the devils they killed were separated, and they ran away with wailing.

Captain Fujita Hiroshi was in the tent, just hearing the neighing of the war horses and shouting the sound of killing, and hearing the ghost crying wolf of the imperial soldiers, he was about to rush out with a command knife in hand, and was hugged tightly by the captain in charge of the guard next to him, and persuaded each other bitterly: "Your Excellency Dazuo, the cavalry of the Tubalu is very fierce, and has entered the attacking force of our imperial army, at this time the enemy and us are fighting fiercely, your life will be in danger when you go out, please Your Excellency Dazuo stay in the tent temporarily, and I will ...... go out." ”

"Bastard, let go of you, mine must go out and personally command the troops to destroy this cavalry team of the Eighth Road." Koji Fujita shook off the Japanese squad leader who was hugging him tightly and rushed out with a command knife in hand.

The fierce scene in Fujita's eyes made him gasp, and he saw that the cavalry of the Tsuchihachi Road, the Japanese tail team that had entered his attack on the No. 1 Heights, was brandishing the imperial soldiers who were slashing him with sabers.

He ordered the 637th Brigade, as the tail team, to organize superior forces to launch a siege from the periphery, surround and destroy the Tubalu cavalry that broke into the attacking troops.

Li Gang brandished a saber to slash and kill the little devils around the war horse, touching death, he was slashing and killing, while paying attention to the movement of the enemy troops, when he saw a devil commander, who was screaming and directing the troops to surround his cavalry battalion from the periphery, he immediately decisively issued an urgent whistle to retreat.

As he rushed out, he shouted, "Don't fight, talk right away." ”

"Don't fight, talk about ——。 right away" As long as the soldiers who heard Li Gang give the order to retreat, they knew that the consequences of not evacuating in time at this time would be very tragic, otherwise Battalion Commander Li would not have issued an emergency whistle, and immediately shouted 'nonsense'.
