Duan Zhiquan, the commander of the third battalion, and Song Chun, the commander of the fourth battalion, were not shot and fell in front of Wang Xiaoliang, but they rushed forward too hard, and they couldn't hold back for a while and fell down directly, and then braved the enemy's bullets and bullets to protect themselves, so they had to fall to the ground.

The commander of the third and fourth battalions of the only regiment pulled Wang Xiaoliang into the position and shouted: "Deputy Commander Wang, we are now outnumbered compared with the enemy's strength and firepower, if we continue to fight like this, more than 1,000 soldiers of the entire third and fourth battalions will all die here, does Regiment Commander Lei know our situation here?" ”

Wang Xiaoliang heard Song Chun and Duan Zhiquan pull him to say such words, he angrily shook them off and scolded: "Bastard, now that the enemy is present, your two battalion commanders do not stick to their positions and command the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, but they actually come to me and shout poorly.

I warn you both that Commander Lei ordered the 3rd and 4th Battalions to hold their positions, this is an order, get out of the position and command the battle, if you continue to mess around with me, I will shoot you. ”

Song Chun and Duan Zhiquan did not flee from the battle, let alone that they were greedy for life and did not want to block the attack of the powerful enemy, but they were anxious for the lives of more than 1,000 soldiers, and once they could not get reinforcements from the troops and could not withdraw from the battlefield in time, the third and fourth battalions of more than 1,000 soldiers would be erased from the number of the only regiment in this campaign.

They were reluctant, so they risked disobeying the order and ran to Wang Xiaoliang to put forward their ideas and find out how the troops could meet the attack of a large number of devils.

Now listening to Wang Xiaoliang's crazy scolding, ordering him to go back immediately and lead the soldiers to start the fiercest battle with the enemy, the two of them can be regarded as seeing that the order issued by Regiment Commander Lei this time is to unconditionally hold the position to block the enemy's attack, this kind of unequal combat with the strength of two battalions to block an elite wing of the Japanese army is incomprehensible to the two battalion commanders Song Chun and Duan Zhiquan.

Captain Matsumoto saw that the battle that would destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time would not last long when he saw that he was pressing the position on the northern slope of the Eighth Route Army with an absolute superiority, and in the eyes of Matsumoto Daisa, it would not last long and would achieve a complete victory.

He held the command knife in both hands, leaned forward to look at the battlefield situation in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, my Matsumoto Wing will actually destroy the two main battalions of the Tubalu One Regiment in the area of Qingshui Bridge and Sangtou Town, this result will definitely attract the attention of the commander of the Katayama Brigade and the commander of the North China Front, and I, Matsumoto, will be glorified because of this, hahaha." ”

Seeing that the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Eighth Route Army, which were holding their positions, had reached the dangerous moment when the attacked enemy broke through the forward positions, and there was a critical juncture when part of the positions on both flanks had been broken through, fierce gunfire suddenly came from behind the enemy.

Shells exploded in the enemy's attacking ranks, fierce gunfire erupted and swept towards the enemy, and the enemy, who was hit by powerful fire in the back, was about to break through the position of the Eighth Route Army, but in order to survive, they abandoned the position of the Eighth Route Army close at hand, turned their guns and carried out a fire counterattack.

The 3rd and 4th Battalions, which were holding the position on the northern slope with great difficulty, had already seen that the entire unit was about to be broken through the forward position by the enemy, and the soldiers had no way to retreat, and in order to kill the devil and avenge the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms, they glared angrily at the bloody eyes one by one, and burst out with the maximum firepower with their guns to destroy the enemy who attacked the forward position.

Wang Xiaoliang held the machine gun and strafed the enemy who was approaching him, and he shouted: "Brother soldier of the only regiment, today is the last battle between us and the little devil, in order to defeat the little devil, kill it——。 ”

'Kill-', 'Kill-'......

The brave and unyielding soldiers of the third and fourth battalions of the only regiment, since they see that they can't leave the battlefield alive, they fight to the death, killing more devils is earned, one by one with the greatest combat ability, killing skills to the extreme, as long as they can kill one more devil before they die, they will leave this reluctant only regiment with a smile, they are happy and proud to be a member of the only regiment.

Wang Xiaoliang held a light machine gun and kept strafing the attacking enemy, seeing that the position was about to be lost, and the troops were about to be surrounded by a large Japanese army, Wang Xiaoliang had already decided to fight the enemy to the death to the last breath, he shouted tragically: "Commander Lei, Lei Jian, my good brother, I, Wang Xiaoliang, am going to take the first step, you have to give me a good life, kill more devils for me Wang Xiaoliang, goodbye, no, let's ......." ”

Just when Wang Xiaoliang was determined to kill the devil to the death, suddenly there was a fierce sound of gunfire from behind the enemy, and the devil's attacking troops were suddenly in chaos. ”

The soldiers of the third and fourth battalions, who had reached the most dangerous moment of life and death, suddenly heard Wang Xiaoliang shouting, and shouted excitedly with tears in their eyes: "We are saved, Commander Lei sent a large army to reinforce us, we are still alive, and if we are alive, we will kill the devil, kill it——。 ”

The attacking little devils were about to break through the front and flank positions of the third and fourth battalions, and had already launched an encirclement, but at this moment, the back was suddenly hit by fierce firepower, and Wang Xiaoliang led the third and fourth battalions to take the opportunity to increase firepower to block the attack, and the enemy fled in all directions, and the forward position was recovered.

Matsumoto Daisa, who watched the end of the battle with a command knife in his hand, on the balance in his heart, there was no suspense about the main force of the only regiment that eliminated the position of the Eighth Route Army on the northern slope, it would only be between minutes and seconds.

Matsumoto Daisa's joy was a little too early, he couldn't imagine how a powerful reinforcement of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared from the southern hills of the Wufu Highway, and the firepower was very fierce, and the Japanese army, which was about to win a complete victory, suddenly lost its offensive formation under the bombardment of artillery fire and the dense bullet strafing, not only did not destroy the Eighth Route Army in the northern slope position in time, but also gave this army a chance to survive.

He roared angrily: "Quickly order the commanders of each major team to suppress the team, quickly reorganize the offensive formation, and launch a counterattack on the Eighth Route Army on the north and south sides of the Wufu Highway, we must destroy this team of the Eighth Route Army, quickly reinforce Fuping City, and rescue the Ikeda squadron trapped in Fuping City." ”

Under the on-the-spot command of Chief of Staff Toshi Takada of the Matsumoto Wing, the well-trained devils immediately returned to the unit according to the organization and under the supervision of the commander, launched the most ferocious attack on the Eighth Route Army on the northern and southern slopes in a step-by-step manner.

At this time, on this battlefield, the two Japanese brigades were engaged in the first battalion, the third battalion and the fourth battalion of the only regiment, according to the strength and firepower of the Eighth Route Army, which far exceeded the strength and weapons and ammunition of the ordinary regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but they were facing a powerful attack by the elite Matsumoto Wing of the Japanese army, and in the competition between the two sides, the strength and firepower of the only regiment were still slightly inferior to that of the Matsumoto Wing.

The cautious and cunning captain of the Matsumoto Wing, according to the deployment of the troops and firepower of both the enemy and us, suddenly laughed and said: "Yanxi, the combat effectiveness of this integrated regiment of the Tubalu is not bad, but it is only engaged in firepower with my Matsumoto Wing, and it is far behind me, and it is definitely not the opponent of my Matsumoto Wing. ”

He ordered the chief of staff, Takada Jun: "Takada-kun, you immediately make the most reasonable adjustment of the strength of the two brigades, and strive to break through the positions on the north and south slopes of the Tuba Road in the shortest possible time, and eliminate all the Tuba Road that is firmly holding the blocking position." ”

Matsumoto ordered to the operational staff officer: "Your immediate delivery of my order, order the captain of the guard group to leave one squadron to block the third regiment of the Tubachi Road that is tightly biting the rear guard of my Matsumoto wing, and the other two squadrons should run as fast as possible to reinforce the offensive battle on the south and north slopes of Sangtou Town." ”

When the commander of the rearguard group received an order from Wing Commander Matsumoto to encircle the 3rd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army from both flanks, Wing Commander Matsumoto ordered him to withdraw two squadrons to reinforce the battle of the vanguard on the north and south slopes.

He roared irrationally: "Bastard, the 3rd Regiment of the Eighth Road is already in the pocket of our brigade, and at this critical moment, I actually ordered our brigade to withdraw two squadrons, which will lose the opportunity to destroy the 3rd Regiment that is about to be surrounded, I, I ......." ”

The commanders of the Japanese army have a clear hierarchy between the upper and lower levels, and the orders issued by the commanders must be completely obeyed, and even if they lose the best opportunity to destroy the enemy, they must immediately give up carrying out the orders.

Although the captain of the guard team was very dissatisfied with the orders given by the captain of the Matsumoto wing, he was an imperial soldier and a junior commander, so he had to and did not dare not carry out the order.

He immediately mobilized two squadrons of devil troops, quickly withdrew to encircle the third regiment of the battle, ran as fast as possible to reinforce the battle on the south and north slopes west of Sangtou Town, and carried sufficient weapons and ammunition to move with the army.
