Battalion commander Ma Ming did not take the lead in killing the enemy group, when he rushed to the enemy group, watched the soldiers wield their sabers, slashing and slashing wildly in the enemy group, killing the devils in all directions, but in a short time, the cunning Japanese commander, commanding the troops, has launched a division and encirclement of the cavalry battalion that killed into the enemy group.

Seeing that the cavalry battalion would soon be divided and surrounded by a large number of enemy troops swarming up, Ma Ming pursed his lips and let out three sharp whistles in a row.

The cavalry soldiers who rushed into the enemy group and slashed heartily suddenly heard the battalion commander make a sharp whistle, and one by one, like flowing fish, quickly rushed backwards to kill, tearing the encirclement that the enemy had just wanted to form to pieces.

The soldiers who had already done the mobilization to kill the enemy before the war started a frantic battle with the enemy, and when they saw that the enemy would form an encirclement, they heard the sharp whistle of the horse battalion commander, and immediately rushed out, and then turned the horse's head to fight again, killing and killing like this, leading more than a thousand little devils to the southwest.

The Japanese army was preparing to adjust the attacking force and launch another attack on the position of the only regiment in Beishan, but was caught off guard by the cavalry battalion that suddenly came out, and panicked for a while.

Ten minutes later, the well-trained Japanese army once again organized a strong formation and launched an even more frantic attack on the position held by the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Beishan.

The fourth, second, and third battalions of the only regiment that held the position on the front and on both flanks finally repelled the third attack of the devils, the position was in ruins, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and if the enemy attacked again, it would be difficult to hold the position, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the enemy broke through.

When repelling the enemy's third attack, Li Gang personally ran to the camp of the first battalion and the fifth regiment as the general reserve behind Beishan Mountain, and he did not know if the commander of the fifth regiment Pang and the commander of the first battalion Zhang Ting would refuse to accept the order when the order to change guards was issued at this time. He was not confident enough to beat the drum in his heart.

Li Gang said to the first battalion commander Zhang Ting: "Battalion commander Zhang, the enemy's third attack on our position has been repulsed, you immediately led the first battalion to replace the fourth battalion as the main force of the frontal position, is there a problem?" ”

"Okay, Grand Master Li, my first battalion is in your hands this time, but for the first time as a reserve, I won't be left behind by what you treat, how can I let my first battalion go up now? Hmph, don't worry, according to what you said, 'I command this battle on behalf of the Commander of the Thunder Sword', then I won't care about you. ”

Li Gang watched Zhang Ting give an order to the first battalion: "All the soldiers of the first battalion, Commander Li ordered our battalion, as the second echelon of the only regiment, to immediately change guards with the fourth battalion and stick to the frontal position. ”

"Yes", "Yes......

The soldiers of the first battalion replied with their chests held high and their morale high.

Li Gang walked to the camp of the Fifth Regiment and saw Commander Pang half-leaning on the hillside, a military hat covering his eyes, lying motionless on the ground with his legs crossed, not knowing whether he was asleep or continuing to be angry with Li Gang, he actually gave up his Fifth Regiment and had no chance of the battle, and sat on a cold bench.

Several battalion commanders beside Commander Pang saw Li Gang coming over, they already knew each other, but now they twisted their faces to the side as if they didn't know each other, and they didn't pay attention to Li Gang at all.

Li Gang sat down next to Head Pang, patted him lightly and said, "Head Pang? Hey, old man, don't pretend to be asleep, get up. ”

Commander Pang didn't hear who was calling him for a while, moved lazily, the military hat on his face was crooked, and he quickly pulled it to cover the sun, and shouted angrily: "Idle panic, right?" Hurry up and hide aside, take care of your spirits, maybe Li Gang, this kid, will pull us up when he thinks of our fifth regiment.

I can tell you, when you get to the battlefield, you will stare at me and kill the devils fiercely, but don't lose my face in front of the only group. ”

"Commander Pang, I'm here to invite you out of the mountain and lead the troops back to the battlefield, are you satisfied?" Li Gang said in a harmonious voice.

When Commander Pang heard that it was the only regimental leader Li Gang sitting beside him, he took off the military hat covering his face, Huo sat up, and saw that Li Gang was looking at him with a smile. The anger in this Pang regiment leader's heart has not subsided, and he fell back again in anger, buttoned his hat on his face, and did not accept Li Gang's stubble at all.

Li Gang said calmly: "Captain Pang, according to what you said, 'My qualifications are older than you', just by virtue of this, the little brother calls you big brother, the little brother has a bad attitude towards your brother on the battlefield, you won't be stingy and really angry with me, right?" If that's the case, then my little brother really looks down on you. ”

"Go, go, you are the supreme commander of the North Mountain of the Military City, if you have a task, you will give an order, if you still tell my fifth regiment to cool down here, then you don't delay our good thing of closing our eyes and recuperating, leave quickly."

"Hahaha, Commander Pang, not to mention that it is still windy in this season, even if the sun shines on your body, you will feel cold, you don't have goosebumps all over your body from the cold, get up quickly and warm up with the soldiers."

"Grand Master Li, you told me to take the brothers of the Fifth Regiment to warm up in this back mountain? Hmph, don't think that you are the only group with many guns and equipment, just talk cool things in front of me, and Lao Tzu will not listen. ”

Li Gang no longer quarreled with Commander Pang, he stood up and shouted sternly: "Commander Pang of the Fifth Regiment, immediately accept the new combat order." ”

As soon as Commander Pang heard that there was a task, he grabbed off the military hat covering his face, Huo De stood up, and when he saw Li Gang's face, he immediately became angry, and was just about to sit down again, when suddenly Li Gang ordered: "Order the first and second battalions of the fifth regiment, the second and third battalions of the only regiment on the left and right flanks, to change their defenses, and prepare to meet the fourth attack of the Japanese army. ”

As soon as Li gave the order, he turned around and was about to leave, but he was grabbed by Commander Pang and asked in a cold tone: "Grand Master Li, do you want my third battalion to stay behind this mountain?" Why don't you pull it up and practice it? ”

"Hahaha, Commander Pang, good steel is used on the blade, we are now strangled with the fourth independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army under the mountain, nearly 10,000 people, although more than six hours have passed, but the battle will be more cruel later, don't worry, the third battalion of the fifth regiment will soon be arranged to kill devils in the most difficult position, now call the three battalion soldiers, rest first, the big battle is still ahead."

Li Gang took Commander Pang's hand and said sincerely: "Commander Pang, in the three counterattacks with the enemy, the fourth battalion of the frontal battlefield and the second and third battalions of the two wings of our only regiment fought quite fiercely with the enemy, and now the casualties are very large, so we need our fifth regiment to rise to the challenge and strike hard at the arrogant enemy." ”

In order to dispel Commander Pang's dissatisfaction with him, Li Gang said decisively: "Commander Pang, the military city Beishan will be under your command from now on, I, Li Gang, will take the time to rest, your Commander Pang won't give me this face, right?" ”

Commander Pang didn't expect Li Gang to be so generous, he felt that he was too reckless, and he blamed Li Gang, he said embarrassedly: "Commander Li, Commander Nie of the Military Region ordered you to command the battle of the only regiment and the fifth regiment in the position, how can you hand over the command to me, you do this, my old Pang can't bear it." ”

"Commander Pang, I have my plan, the Japanese army's crusade of nearly 10,000 troops is arrogant at the foot of the mountain, I want to lead the cavalry battalion and the four special companies directly under the only regiment, see the opportunity to harass the attacking devils, free up your hands for the main position under your command, and teach the attacking enemy a hard lesson, do you understand?"

Commander Pang only knew that the family background of the only regiment was very thick, but he did not expect that there were not only four main battalions, cavalry battalions, and four special companies, but also the weapons and ammunition of each unit were all first-class Japanese-style equipment. ”

Li Gang smoothed out Commander Pang's anger, and watched Commander Pang lead the first and second battalions to rush out of the mountain pass, quickly enter the left and right flank positions, and replace the second and third battalions of the only regiment, he said happily: "This old brother is a real person, he is a good hand at fighting, and he is ...... to people. ”

At this moment, Song Chun, Song Zhida, and Huang Yong, commanders of the fourth, second, and third battalions of the only regiment, came to report: "Report to Regiment Commander Li, we have led the troops to withdraw from the position, what are the tasks now?" ”

"Your task is to rest, rest, rest again, recuperate, and be ready to fight again at any time." Li Gang ordered.

Zhou Peng, chief of staff of the regiment, hurriedly ran to Li Gang and saluted and reported: "Commander Li, the troops have all changed guards, please instruct." ”

"Chief of Staff Zhou, the position in the north mountain of the military city will be handed over to you and Commander Pang of the Fifth Regiment, if there is anything important, contact and negotiate more."

Zhou Peng frowned puzzled and asked, "Commander Li, you handed over the command of the position to Commander Pang, what if the position is broken through under the enemy's powerful firepower offensive?" ”
