Li Gang, who led the second cavalry company and was attacking the enemy, faced the many little devils who pounced, he shouted fiercely: "We are a kind of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, with the greatest firepower, block the little devils who attack the forward position, and give me a hard beat." ”

The commander of the devil supervised the troops, and he was about to break through the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, he brandished his command knife and shouted arrogantly: "The strength and firepower of the Eighth Route have been suppressed by our Imperial Japanese Army, and they are about to retreat. ”

The soldiers of the second company beside Li Gang fought to the death with the enemy in the forward position, but in the end, because they were outnumbered, the devils who rushed in front had broken through the forward positions and entered the trenches of the second company.

At this moment, Li Gang heard the sound of running from the traffic trench behind him, and while holding a machine gun and spitting out tongues of fire at the enemy, he glanced back, and when he found that Wang Xiaoliang led a battalion of soldiers to reinforce the first line of defense, he shouted excitedly: "Comrades, our reinforcements have arrived, give me a hard beating." ”

Wang Xiaoliang led the first infantry battalion to the first line of defense in time, and he ordered the soldiers to quickly occupy the first line of defense broken by the enemy, and resolutely eliminate the devils who rushed into the trenches.

Under the combined fire of the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Cavalry Company, all the little devils who entered the first line of defense were eliminated, and the devils who swarmed behind were suddenly hit by fierce fire at close range, and they were shot and fell to the forward position.

The devil commander did not expect that the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army on the peak of Lao Ye Mountain was about to be broken through at a critical juncture, and suddenly a large army of the Eighth Route Army that was particularly capable of fighting was reinforced.

Wang Xiaoliang lost no time in shouting: "Zhang Ting, order a battalion of soldiers to fight the first line of defense, concentrate superior firepower, and give me a hard blow to the fleeing devils, so that these bastards can know the power of the 'only group'." ”

The first battalion is a new force on the battlefield, although the long-distance rush to Lao Ye Mountain, not even had time to breathe, and then they entered the battlefield, but they saw the arrogant enemy break through the first line of defense, the second company of the cavalry battalion was already in a very dangerous situation, the soldiers of the first battalion held guns, shouted loudly and bravely killed the enemy, and rolled down the mountain with the retreating little devils and firepower.

Wang Xiaoliang led a battalion of soldiers, using light and heavy weapons in his hands, condescendingly smacking the devil's buttocks, and when the enemy retreated to the middle of the mountain, Wang Xiaoliang, who had matured, shouted in the tone of the thunder sword: "Poor Kou Mo chase, immediately return to the first line of defense, repair the fortifications and prepare for battle." ”

Lei Jian heard the sound of killing in front of the mountain, he rushed to the commanding heights, and saw through the binoculars that Wang Xiaoliang was leading the soldiers to repel the enemy, and at this time he was beating the devil's ass, he was afraid that Wang Xiaoliang would be impulsive, and followed the fleeing devil until he was down the mountain, and was about to give an order to retreat.

He nodded and praised: "Wang Xiaoliang, your grandmother's, yes, I know that I will accept it when I see it, and I will hand over the command of Lao Ye Mountain to block the enemy, and my Lei Jian can do other things with confidence." ”

Wang Xiaoliang led the soldiers back to the first line of defense and ordered the troops to seize the time to repair the trench fortifications and be ready for a fierce battle with the enemy at any time.

He said to Li Gang: "Deputy Commander Li, Commander Lei ordered, order you to hand over the first line of defense to the first battalion, and all your cavalry battalions will withdraw from the battle and follow Commander Lei's actions." ”

Li Gang held Wang Xiaoliang's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Brother, just now thanks to you for bringing a battalion of infantry and rushing to the forward position in time to reinforce, if you come three or five minutes late, not only will my second cavalry company be killed in the battle with the enemy, but even the first line of defense will be broken through by devils. ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Li, don't be polite to me, killing the enemy is something that every one of us should risk his life to do, and I can lead the first infantry battalion to arrive in time, which is inseparable from the overall dispatch of Commander Lei. You also know that our Lei Regiment Leader is bold and careful, and every time he does a dangerous thing, but every time we can survive in danger, this guy is amazing, I will obey him. ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, what you said is the same as I thought, now that the war is tense, I will immediately lead the cavalry battalion to withdraw from the forward position and accept the new combat order, brother, take care."

After Li Gang finished speaking, tears overflowed in his eyes, and he held Wang Xiaoliang's hands tightly and asked, "Brother, give my brother a good life." He turned around sharply and ordered: "All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, immediately withdraw from their positions, quickly assemble, and accept a new task." ”

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion quickly assembled on the western slope of Lao Ye Mountain, and Lei Jian held a telescope and kept an eye on the artillery position of the devils under the mountain.

The commander of the devil under the mountain, the captain of the 16th Brigade of the 581st Wing, Yamada Kizo Nakasa, saw that the vanguard of the attacking imperial army had broken through the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, and he laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, my 16th Imperial Imperial Warriors is an invincible and brave army, and it is about to occupy Lao Ye Mountain and successfully complete the task assigned by Iizuka Daisa, I ......." ”

Without waiting for Captain Yamada to laugh out loud again, he suddenly found that on the top of the mountain, a powerful reinforcement of the Eighth Route Army rushed down, with the strength of a battalion, with powerful firepower, to eliminate the devils who entered the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, and defeated a large number of devils who were attacking.

Yamada Nakasa roared angrily: "Yaga, where did such a powerful force suddenly appear from the Dirt Eight Road, and ordered the artillery to strike with the most fierce artillery fire to destroy the reinforcements of the first line of defense of the Dirt Eight Road. ”

The leader of the artillery squad was sincerely frightened and immediately reported: "Report to Your Excellency, the artillery squad has no shells and cannot shell the position of Lao Ye Shan Tu Eighth Road. ”

"Bastard, why are there no shells? Your artillery squad without shells is a useless force, quickly replenish the shells. Yamada Nakasa grabbed the cannon squad leader and shouted.

The commander of the artillery squad immediately reported: "Your Excellency, the troops suddenly ran to reinforce Lao Ye Mountain, there are no trucks and horses to transport with the army, the artillery soldiers mainly carry mortars, and they do not have the ability to bring more shells, so I will immediately send soldiers to return to the large army two miles away, and the shells can be transported here in half an hour." ”

The crazy Yamada Nakasa, threw off the artillery squad leader, and ordered the combat staff officer beside him: "Yours immediately report to Wing Commander Iizuka Daisa, and request that the shells be quickly transported to the position of my 16th Brigade at the foot of Lao Ye Mountain, quickly." ”

At this time, the captain of the 581st Wing, Iizuka Osa, who was sitting in the jeep, raised his binoculars from time to time to scan the southern slope of Lao Ye Mountain, and saw the rumbling of cannons at the commanding heights of the peaks, the continuous sound of explosions, and the gunpowder smoke and beacon flames rising into the sky, rising and falling.

He said to the chief of staff beside him: "Sato-kun, Lao Ye Mountain should be occupied by the 16th Brigade of the 581st Wing of our Imperial Japanese Army soon, and it will be destroyed soon under the attack of my powerful artillery fire."

As long as Lao Ye Mountain is recovered by the imperial army, our wing will quickly pass through Hengshi kilometers under the west slope of Lao Ye Mountain, and your order is that the captain of the 16th Brigade, Yamada Kizo Nakasa, occupy Lao Ye Mountain, and wait for the large army to pass, immediately rush down the mountain, follow the large army by car, and quickly reinforce Zhengtai Road. ”

Chief of Staff Ken Sato is not as optimistic as Captain Iizuka Co-Captain, he is monitoring the movements of Lao Ye Mountain all the time, and until now the peak of Lao Ye Mountain is still in constant war, and the sound of guns and cannons is getting more and more intense, the 16th Brigade must have been frustrated in attack, otherwise the arrogant Yamada guy would have already come to the good news and invited merit to publicize it.

Chief of Staff Ken Sato, who was acting cautiously, did not have time to answer Captain Iizuka's question, and ran with the combat staff officer to deliver a telegram.

Ken Sato took it, glanced at it, and said secretly in his heart: "Yamada, this guy is not attacking well, and I guessed it." ”

He handed the telegram to Captain Iizuka with both hands, looked at Iizuka Daisa's expression nervously, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Osa, the sixteenth brigade's attack on Lao Ye Mountain has been seriously frustrated, and at this time, ask for help to quickly deliver cannonballs, see if you can send ...... again." ”
