Commander Nie looked at Wang Xiaoliang standing in front of him, with a burly figure, an angular face, and a sense of masculinity, he couldn't help but look at it twice, nodded and asked, "You are the deputy head of Wang Xiaoliang, who is in charge of the transfer of the field hospital of the military region and the only regiment this time?" ”

"Report chief, I'm Wang Xiaoliang."

"Okay, very energetic, as for your Commander Lei Jian, I have already instructed the field hospital and the expert medical team to aid China to rescue Lei Jian at all costs, this is an order from the military region headquarters.

It's just that this time you have a heavy task, and you must ensure the safe transfer of the field hospital, the expert medical team of China's aid, and the wounded and sick treated, do you have any questions? ”

"Please rest assured that Commander Nie, as long as I, Wang Xiaoliang, and the soldiers of the troops under my belt, still have a breath, I will resolutely complete the task."

Commander Nie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, the only regiment and the fifth regiment have been fighting fiercely against the Japanese invaders who are frantically rushing to the anti-Japanese base in the military city, the situation is very urgent, and I will leave immediately." ”

He looked at Director Geng and Wang Xiaoliang of the field hospital and then said: "From now on, you must be ready to transfer, you receive the order, and start acting immediately." ”

The only regiment and the fifth regiment mentioned by Commander Nie were fortified in the military city, and the fifth regiment took the west mountain of the military city as a position to block the attacking enemy.

As the second line of defense, the only regiment was deployed on the north mountain of the military city, and after the troops arrived, they immediately contacted the fifth regiment fortified on the west mountain of the military city and discussed the combat plan for jointly resisting the enemy.

Acting regimental commander Li Gang presided over the first military meeting, at which, in accordance with the order of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters, launched campaign arrangements against the attacking enemy.

The 4th Battalion of the 1st Regiment was ordered to occupy the main position as the main force to block the enemy, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions were deployed on both flanks of the main peak to cooperate with the 4th Battalion to counterattack the enemy marching to Chengnanzhuang, and the 1st Battalion was the general reserve, ready to reinforce at any time.

The cavalry battalion was ordered to be on the Mishan Mountain, two miles north of the military city, and was concealed and waited.

On 27 September, the Japanese army gathered nearly 10,000 troops from Baoding, Tangxian, Quyang, and Laiyuan, and frantically rushed to Fuping, the center of the anti-Japanese base area of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

The Japanese invaders, who had assembled separately from the four cities and counties to the military cities, practiced the policy of 'burning, killing, and robbing them all' in the villages they passed along the way, and frantically slaughtered our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, burned houses, destroyed villages, and poisoned wells, with the aim of encroaching on the anti-Japanese base areas and eliminating the Eighth Route Army in Beiyue District.

The Fifth Regiment received the order to stand by in battle, and Regiment Commander Cui ordered all battalions to strengthen their fortifications, make all preparations to meet the enemy, and must block the enemy for more than five hours.

At 13 o'clock on the afternoon of the 27th, more than 300 Japanese troops rushed from Tang County to the military city and arrived at the foot of the west mountain of the military city.

For the sake of safety, the cunning commander Miki sent more than 20 reconnaissance teams to reconnoiter the western mountain of the military city, and the troops were ready to attack.

The commander of the fifth regiment, Cui, found that the enemy reconnaissance team had climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, and he ordered the first battalion set up in the main position: "Do a good job of concealment, and when the enemy is allowed to enter the front of the position ten meters away from the position, one battalion and one company will kill it, and the battle must be resolved as quickly as possible and withdraw immediately." ”

The commander of a company saw that the reconnaissance team of the devils was rapidly approaching the forward position, and he ordered the soldiers: "Put on the bayonet, wait until the enemy is close to the position ten meters, listen to my order, suddenly launch a surprise attack, and destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time." ”

The Japanese reconnaissance team was almost halfway up the mountain, and did not find anything suspicious, and these devil soldiers who had been climbing the mountain to reconnoiter at this time after a long march were exhausted, and every time they took a step forward to the top of the mountain, they were very difficult.

Cao Chang, the devil who led the team, stood halfway up the hillside, raised his head and carefully searched the top of the mountain for anything suspicious, he found that there was a lot of new soil on the top of the mountain, this bastard immediately realized that the position on the top of the mountain had been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and built fortifications, according to the spread of the new soil on the hilltop position, the Eighth Route Army hidden in the fortified position had at least one battalion of troops.

Cao Chang, a devil with great military knowledge, ordered the reconnaissance team to quickly find the concealment and carry out fire reconnaissance on the position of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain.

The quick-witted commander of the Fifth Regiment, Cui, saw that the enemy's reconnaissance team suddenly dodged away to find a hidden object and carry out fire reconnaissance on the hilltop position, and he ordered the troops to hide in the fortifications and not to be exposed, so that the little devils could not find out whether there were any troops of the Eighth Route Army in ambush on the mountain.

The little devil carried out more than ten minutes of fire reconnaissance, but did not find that there was a counterattack by the Eighth Route Army troops at the top of the mountain, and the devil Cao Chang did not dare to continue to reconnoiter the mountain rashly, and waved his hand and ordered: "Quickly withdraw to the bottom of the mountain." ”

The devil commander listened to the report of the reconnaissance team commander Cao, he took a telescope to carefully observe the hill again, and found no human activities, he did not take a risky action, but ordered the artillery team to immediately adjust the gun position and carry out artillery bombardment on the suspicious position on the top of the mountain.

More than a dozen shells exploded in succession on the west hill of the military city, kicking up dust, stones, and shrapnel that swept towards the soldiers hiding in the fortifications, causing certain casualties.

The deputy head of the regiment ran to Commander Cui and asked puzzledly: "Commander Cui, why don't you shoot and eliminate the small group of devils who approached the position just now?" It's good now, the devil commander under the mountain doesn't care about the bombardment of 3721, this kind of battle to block the enemy, we are too passive, right? ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Xiao, now that the enemy has not figured out the strength and firepower of our hilltop position, and after the artillery bombardment, he will try to clear the way for the follow-up Japanese army, so he will seize the position on the west mountain of the military city, and he must be careless in taking action, we should wait for the enemy at the bottom of the mountain to approach the forward position, exert the most fierce firepower, and strive to annihilate this attacking enemy, it should be easier."

The political commissar next to him continued: "Our task is not to take the initiative to seek the enemy to fight, but to find a way to drag the enemy to fight slowly, and to gain time for the safe evacuation of the organs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the military and civilians of Fucheng, which is our main task." ”

The 5th Regiment was under enemy shelling, and although there were minor casualties among the troops, the target was not exposed. The commander of the devil did not notice that there was an ambush of the Eighth Route Army on the hill to counterattack, and he waved his hand and ordered the shelling to stop.

After more than half an hour, at 14:20 p.m., although the commander of the devil had doubts about the position on the hilltop of the west mountain of the military city, this arrogant bastard did not take the Eighth Route Army in his eyes at all, and on his psychological scale, even if the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush, it could not stop the powerful attack of the Great Japanese Imperial Army.

The commander of the devil ordered the troops to seize the west mountain of the military city, build a position, clear the passage for the follow-up troops, and cover the rapid attack of the large army to the anti-Japanese base area of the Eighth Route Army in Fuping.

The commander of the 5th Regiment, Cui Regiment, saw that the enemy was beginning to seize the Xishan Heights, and he issued an order to the troops: "Deploy the firepower of the troops, and once the Japanese army is approaching the forward position, destroy the attacking enemy with the most fierce firepower." ”

The arrogant little devil did not have enough understanding of the top of the West Mountain, thinking that it was an empty mountain that was not occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and launched a full-speed rush to seize the West Mountain, which was not steep and dangerous at a height of 300 meters.

The devil was still 30 meters away from the ambush position of the Fifth Regiment, which was the most effective strike range for light and heavy weapons, and in order to put the enemy close before attacking, Regiment Commander Cui ordered the troops not to be exposed, and to pay attention to attacking the enemy at any time in concealment.

Twenty-five meters, twenty meters, Commander Cui still did not give the order, Deputy Commander Xiao shouted in a low voice that was a little unbearable: "Commander Cui, if you don't shoot to block the enemy, once the little devil is too close to the position and launches a crazy attack, the forward position will be easily broken through, give the order quickly." ”

Fifteen meters, this distance is very close, you can clearly see the mouth, nose and eyes of the devils rushing in front, Commander Cui suddenly shouted: "Light and heavy machine guns, grenades, aim at the places where the devils are crowded, and hit me hard." ”

Just when the little devil thought that he was about to seize the hilltop position, a fierce noise of light and heavy weapons suddenly broke out from the hilltop position, and the grenades were like hail in the air, falling on the devil group one after another, exploding one after another, and the devils who exploded were killed and injured. The devil in the back was suddenly hit by fierce fire, defenseless, and under the collision of the devil who was not eliminated in front and fled quickly, he turned his head and ran down the mountain.

Seeing that the enemy fled in panic, Commander Cui ordered the entire battalion of the main position to attack and beat the little devil's ass.

The commander of the first battalion brandished a pistol and shouted: "Soldiers of the first battalion, rush out of the trenches and kill devils——。 ”

More than 300 soldiers, like more than 300 tigers and leopards, spitting tongues of fire with guns, came out of the hilltop position, pounced on the little devils who fled, and the devils fell to the ground, and the ghosts rolled down the mountain crying wolves.

Just when the devils fled, more than 200 little devils who pounced on Quyang immediately joined the battle and carried out a crazy counterattack, and their fierce momentum was about to surround the battalion that had fallen down the mountain.
