The cavalry battalion of the newly formed single regiment and the cavalry company of the old independent regiment reinforced by the enemy gradually felt overwhelmed by the enemy's crazy encirclement and suppression, and some of the war horses were stabbed by the devil's bayonets, injured to the vital point, and struggled to fall slowly, while the cavalry soldiers were surrounded and killed by the enemy, and some fought to the last breath.

The battlefield at the foot of Lao Ye Mountain and on the east bank of the Tiechuan River has become a one-sided situation, the Japanese 581st Wing has an absolute advantage, and the entire battlefield of the Eighth Route Army is about to collapse, and the soldiers have fought with the enemy until the last breath of their lives, and suddenly the Japanese truck brigade on Hengshi Road broke out a violent explosion from the middle.

One by one, fireballs rose into the sky, exploded in the air to form a small sea of fire, and immediately connected into a fire that burned the sky, burning trucks at the fastest speed, like burning company camps, and frantically devouring the Japanese army.

Iizuka Osa was frightened by this sudden flame in the air, and shouted, "Bastard, why is this, why did such a big sea of fire suddenly appear?" ”

Shouting, cursing, and going berserk, it was to no avail, the fire was like a raging dragon, rolling over the attacking team that pounced on the devils, and the fire was not yet coming, with a scorching bake, forming an invisible wall of fire, approaching the devils who were still attacking.

This group of devils, who were about to break through the position of the Eighth Route Army and strangle the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army that was divided and surrounded, were about to be completed, and they were frightened by the fire that quickly rushed over, and they howled and fled for their lives.

When Wang Xiaoliang heard a violent explosion at the southern end of Hengshi Road, and then the fire formed in the air rushed to the battlefield, he immediately thought that it must be the big move made by the commander of the Lei Jian Regiment who did not want to die, which was to burn all the marching materials and vehicles of the Japanese army, and to burn to death the arrogant little devil.

When he saw the attacking devils and the fire rushing over, he gave up the attack and encirclement in fright, and fled to the east and north.

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the raging fire was about to rush to the position, and he resolutely shouted: "All troops, quickly retreat to the west bank of the Tiechuan River." ”

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions of the only regiment on the position received the order to withdraw from the battle, and at the same time, they were shocked by the fire that rushed over and acted more quickly, supporting, carrying, carrying, and carrying the seriously wounded, and withdrew from the position without hesitation, and began a frenzied retreat under the pursuit of the scorching fire.

The cavalry battalion of the only regiment surrounded by the enemy group, as well as the cavalry company of the independent regiment of the Eastern Column that came to reinforce them, were fighting to the death with the encircled enemy, fighting fiercely with the enemy without fear of sacrifice in order to fight to the last man.

Suddenly, there was a huge explosion from the southeast truck team on Hengshi Road, and the frightened devils were slow to move, so they gave up the siege and began to run around, and the encirclement soon became relaxed, and they were invincible.

Li Gang and Niu vigorously seized the opportunity and shouted: "All the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who killed the enemy, cover each other and quickly break out of the enemy's encirclement, and follow the Hengshi Road all the way to the northwest, kill——。 ”

Li Gang and Niu Dali, who had killed the encirclement of the devils, led the cavalry to rush out for 500 meters, and they also felt uncomfortable baking behind them, and every war horse and every soldier was sweating profusely at this time, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

The cavalry troops rushed out about 500 meters before they felt a little cool, Li Gang and Niu vigorously reined in their horses at the same time, saluted each other on horseback, and said almost at the same time: "Thanks to the wit of our regiment commander Lei, I don't know what method to take, causing the enemy truck brigade to burn down the company camp, and there is also a huge explosion sound, and those fireballs fly into the air, it is simply spectacular." ”

Niu Dali continued to praise and said: "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, this time the Japanese 581st Wing has suffered an unprecedented blow, it seems that our East Vertical Independent Regiment has set up an ambush 50 kilometers northwest to prevent the enemy from reinforcing Zhengtai Road, this arduous task should be completed more easily." ”

Li Gang said: "Deputy Commander Li, on behalf of the 'One Regiment' Commander Lei and all the soldiers, thank you for leading the cavalry company to come to reinforcements. ”

"Forget it, we used to be old brothers who served food in a pot, why are you still talking to me now? Besides, I led the cavalry company to reinforce, but before I could make any effort, I was divided and surrounded by devils, if it weren't for Commander Lei. ”

Li Gang paused as he spoke, looked at Niu Dali and asked, "We haven't seen each other for almost half a month since we separated, right?" This time, you led the team to reinforce the Battle of Lao Ye Mountain, don't you want to see our old regiment commander Lei Jianna? ”

"I think, I dream, let's go, let's go back to see Commander Lei, if I return to the army, once my old comrades-in-arms ask, I still have the capital to preach, hahaha, let's go?" Niu Dali looked at Li Gang a little impatiently and urged.

Li Gang looked at the direction of the battlefield in Lao Ye Mountain, turned his head and said to Niu Dali with a smile: "Deputy Regiment Commander Niu, even if you go back, you can't return along the same road, first, I guess that the only main force of the regiment on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, seeing the raging fire rushing to the position, for the safety of the soldiers' lives, will definitely quickly withdraw to the west bank of the Tiechuan River."

The second is that Regiment Commander Lei has made such a big move in the enemy's rear, and he is on the edge of the fire, he will definitely cross the Tiechuan River and reach the west bank as soon as possible.

Why don't we run forward for about 200 meters, and cross the river from there, the river is not too deep and the flow speed is slow, what do you say? ”

The two old comrades-in-arms did not have time, at this very moment to recount their parting feelings, time was pressing, led the troops to rush out of 200 meters, to the east bank of the Tiechuan River, Niu Dali only led five old soldiers to cross the river, and the other cavalry soldiers stayed in place to hide, waiting for orders.

In addition, Lei Jian led the guard squad to covertly touch the middle of the Japanese truck team and near the three trucks loaded with fuel, and suddenly dropped bombs, grenades and grenades exploded, igniting the oil with a very low ignition point, causing a skyrocketing fire.

The oil drums that were baked from the outside, the oil and gas inside were saturated and expanded under the action of high temperatures, and suddenly rose into the air with fireballs, some exploding in the air, and some falling to the ground and tumbling.

The whole fire spread rapidly along the Japanese truck brigade to both ends, and caused the explosion of the truck fuel tank, a series of burning explosions, and the entire Hengshi Road under the Lao Ye Mountain section formed a double-headed fire dragon in an instant, and flew out separately on both sides.

Lei Jian and the soldiers of the guard squad first saw this spectacular scene, and they jumped up happily in the hidden green gauze tent, but just when they were happy, Lei Jian shouted: "Rush out to the south as fast as you can." ”

The soldiers of the guard squad happily watched the fire rise before they were able to enjoy it, and they were shouted by the thunder sword to rush out, and they followed closely without understanding, but as soon as they rushed out less than a dozen steps, the scorching fire wave seemed to swallow them, and frantically pounced on them.

Feng Guang, the deputy squad leader of the guard squad, shouted: "Hurry up and follow Regiment Commander Lei, rush to the southeast, run——。 ”

Qu Jiaming, who was in the rear of the truck alert squadron, suddenly saw a raging fire burning in front of him, followed by a series of explosions, especially one fireball after another rising into the sky, this was the most spectacular scene he had ever seen, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

Just when Qu Jiaming was dumbfounded, the attacking little devil suddenly rushed out in the southwest direction desperately, followed by the hot wind blowing in his face, the scorching Qu Jiaming and the soldiers couldn't stand it, and when they saw a fire dragon rushing madly from the middle of the truck team, then Qu Jiaming realized that this was a tense moment when his life was about to be lost.

He suddenly shouted to the soldier who was still lying in the carriage to fight the little devil, quickly jumped out of here, rushed to the war horse, and rushed to the southwest.

At this time, Lei Jian had already led the guard squad to rush to the hidden place of the war horse, his body went up, and his butt had just fallen off the saddle, Lei Jian yelled: "Hurry up and rush with me to the east bank of the Tiechuan River in the southwest direction." ”

Dozens of war horses were chased by the fire dragon, and they galloped all the way, and finally broke away from the scorching waves and came to the east bank of the Tiechuan River, where the river was wide.

Lei Jian pointed to the river and ordered: "Cross the river quickly and return to the rear of the main position of the single regiment." ”

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon and the guard squad, as well as the war horses under the crotch, sweated profusely at this time, their mouths were dry, and when they saw the flowing river, the war horses couldn't wait to rush into the river.

With the joint efforts of men and horses, the small army led by Lei Jian quickly swam to the west bank, rushed to the shore without stopping for a moment, and went straight downstream.

Lei Jian quickly approached the main position of the only regiment, and could not hear the fierce gunfire and shouting, the entire enemy and our positions, at this time there was not a single gunshot, and I saw the section of the road occupied by the devil truck on Hengshi Road, the fire was still burning, but the fire was slowly weakening.

He suddenly had an ominous feeling, Hengshi Road suddenly broke out in a raging fire, rushing towards the positions of the enemy and us in the Tiechuan River, once Wang Xiaoliang, deputy commander, could not order the troops to withdraw from the position in time at a critical moment, and the soldiers who held the position would be engulfed in flames, and no one would survive.
