Lei Jian received a telegram from Li Gang that the enemy puppet army had increased its troops from Laiyuan City by more than 300 troops and quickly pounced on the Zoumayi stronghold, and ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "You lead the two companies of the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion to use the most fierce firepower and adopt a variety of offensive methods, and you must destroy the Japanese stronghold of Zoumayi." ”

He said to Ma Mingshan, who rushed to the forward position: "Political Commissar Ma, you lead the company directly under the regiment to clean up the destroyed Japanese firepower positions, and collect them as long as the troops use them, so that they can be replenished to the battalions. ”

Lei Jian shouted to Zhang Ping, director of the Electrical Investigation Department: "A new combat order is issued, and Deputy Regiment Commander Li Gang and Chief of Staff Zhou Peng are ordered to annihilate the early reinforcements of Laiyuan City with the most fierce firepower at Dongdi Mountain.

The cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company were ordered to annihilate the enemy who had been reinforced in advance, immediately build fortifications, fire to block the second batch of reinforcements in Laiyuan City, not to withdraw from their positions without orders, and to resolutely block the enemy's reinforcements at the foot of Dongdi Mountain, and not to take a single step forward in the horse post. ”

Lei Jian then ordered the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions: "Run closer to Dongdi Mountain, and within half an hour, reach Dongdi Mountain, which is five miles away from the Horse Station, build a position, and prepare for battle." ”

The main force of the only regiment withdrew from the battle of attacking the Japanese stronghold of Zoumayi, and at a frantic speed, ran and marched to Dongdi Mountain.

Lei Jian led the guard platoon to wave the horse whip, urged the horse to move forward quickly, and arrived at Dongdi Mountain in ten minutes, and immediately ordered the guard platoon soldiers to build fortifications on the mountain and set up an ambush.

Standing on the highest peak of Dongdi Mountain with a telescope, he looked at the 500-meter-long Dongtougu of Dongdi Mountain, and vaguely found the smoke of gunpowder wafting and could hear the sound of fierce gunfire battles going on.

At this time, he led the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company to reinforce the enemy puppet army in Dongtougu and Laiyuan City for the second time, and Li Gang and Zhou Peng, who had already launched a fire blockade, intended to block the reinforcements with the most fierce firepower.

The cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company fought with the enemy at Dongtougu and Yaoyukou in the Battle of Zoumayi, and then returned to Dongtougu to completely annihilate the first batch of reinforcements of the enemy in the Zoumayi with the most fierce firepower.

The cavalry team of the only regiment has fought fiercely with the enemy many times, the soldiers are very tired, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is very large, and the ammunition is about to run out of ammunition in this Dongtougu blockade battle, at this time the ammunition is about to run out, if you do not withdraw from the position immediately, it is very likely to be surrounded by the reinforced enemy puppet army in Dongtougu, and then there will only be a desperate bloody battle, until all killed.

Zhou Peng saw that the situation on the battlefield was sinister, he rushed to Li Gang's side, and shouted loudly while blocking the attacking enemy puppet army: "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, we have no way to stop the enemy puppet army from reinforcing the horse post, I propose to immediately ask Commander Lei for instructions, and the troops should withdraw from the battle, otherwise the two elite troops of the only regiment cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company will be wiped out." ”

At this time, Lei Jian stood at the highest place of Dongdi Mountain, holding a telescope to look at Dongtougu from time to time, he was very anxious to move the telescope to the southeast, when he found that the dirt road leading from the horse post to Dongdi Mountain, burst into dust, he boldly guessed that it should be the main force of the second, third, and fourth battalions, about to reach Dongdi Mountain.

Lei Jian decisively ordered Zhang Ping: "Give an order to Li Gang and Zhou Peng, order the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance platoon to withdraw from the position immediately, and put the second batch of reinforcements to the enemy in the stronghold of the horse post to pass through the Dongtougu position."

After withdrawing from the battle, they went around behind enemy lines, and when the Japanese reinforcements arrived at Dongdi Mountain, they were hit by the fire of the main force of the only regiment, and immediately carried out a flanking attack from the rear to eliminate this arrogant enemy puppet army reinforcements. ”

Li Gang and Zhou Peng, who were sticking to the position in Dongtougu to block Laiyuan City and the second batch of reinforcements to the enemy, were about to surround the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company in Dongtougu under the strong firepower counterattack of the reinforcing enemy.

The commander of the Japanese army leading the team saw the cavalry brigade of the only regiment rushing in the direction of Laiyuan City, and immediately reported to the upper peak of the city and asked for troops to be sent to encircle and suppress it.

The Japanese reinforcements broke through the Dongtougu position of the Eighth Route Army and drove straight to the Japanese stronghold of Zoumayi.

Li Gang and Zhou Peng, who led the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company to withdraw from the Dongtougu position, rushed out more than 1,000 meters, stopped by the reins of the horse, looked back at Dongtougu, and did not find that the enemy was catching up.

The second batch of reinforcements of the enemy puppet army, under the supervision of the Japanese commander, ran to advance to the base of the horse post, and the arrogant Japanese commander boasted to the squadron leader next to him: "The Imperial Japanese Army is an invincible imperial army, Dongtougu blocked the Tuba Road reinforced by our Imperial Army, and the combat effectiveness was low. ”

The captain of the Japanese squadron flattered and said: "Your Excellency the captain is fighting against the Tuba Road, the strategy is great, the tactics are superb, and the Tuba Road is not a problem, and this Tuba Road attacking the stronghold of the horse post will definitely be killed." ”

Seeing that the troops were about to enter the foot of Dongdi Mountain, the Japanese squadron leader said arrogantly: "Your Excellency, you don't understand the tactics of the Eighth Road, if you set up an ambush on Dongdi Mountain, use the dense woods to cover it, and ambush my reinforcements, it will play a ...... role." ”

When the two Japanese commanders were self-absorbed, the main force of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which was stationed in Dongdi Mountain, saw that the Japanese reinforcements had entered the ambush circle, and Lei Jian shouted to the soldiers who were responsible for pulling the cluster grenades and explosives bags buried on the road: "Pull the detonating device and blow up the enemy puppet army with these reinforcements." ”

Lei Jian waved his pistol and ordered: "Concentrate all light and heavy weapons, strike at the enemy puppet army gathered on the road, and give me a hard blow." ”

The soldier responsible for pulling the cluster grenades and explosives bags buried in the road pulled the rope in his hand violently, and then a violent explosion sounded on the road, and the enemy puppet army fell one piece.

The captain and squadron leader of the Japanese army on their horses were still contemptuous of the commander of the Eighth Route Army's 'lack of understanding of tactics,' and they were immediately bombarded indiscriminately by cluster grenades and explosives packets buried on the road.

Without waiting for the Japanese commander to react, the Eighth Route Army set up an ambush unit at Dongdishan and carried out the first round of firepower with the most intense firepower.

The captain of the Japanese army slipped under his horse in fright, lay on the ground and drew his command knife and shouted: "Imperial warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, we are the most loyal soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Lei Jian saw that the enemy puppet army was lying on the road and counterattacked Dongdi Mountain, he held a telescope to watch the movement of the Japanese army, and found that the enemy did not touch the details of the Eighth Route Army that had set up an ambush, and the cunning Japanese commander ordered the troops to lie on the ditch of the road, looking for the main position of the Eighth Route Army ambushed on Dongdi Mountain, and carrying out a fire counterattack.

Lei Jian put down the binoculars and gave orders to each battalion, concentrate the sharpshooters, aim at the commander of the enemy puppet army, as well as the light and heavy machine gun shooters, to reach the target with every bullet, knock out the enemy's commander and light and heavy machine gun shooters, force the enemy puppet army to lose command, become a mess, and then carry out concentrated fire elimination.

The captain of the devil brigade was lying on the road ditch, this guy with a good command, calmly analyzed the firepower and troop deployment of the Eighth Route Army in ambush on Dongdi Mountain, seized the opportunity to attack the weak firepower of the Eighth Route Army, broke through Dongdi Mountain, and continued to reinforce the stronghold of Zoumayi.

Under the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, the enemy puppet army quickly found a counterattack position and lay on the ground to launch a fire counterattack against the Eighth Route Army in Dongdi Mountain.

The only group of sharpshooters who quickly gathered found the best firing position, aimed at the target, calmly found the target, held their breath and pulled the trigger, and one bullet after another with a whistling sound burrowed into the heads of the Japanese commander and the light and heavy machine gun shooters, and the enemy army was in chaos for a while.

The captain of the reinforcement unit of the enemy puppet army, in the blink of an eye, the squadron leader and the squad leader not far away, as well as the light and heavy machine gun shooters, were mostly killed suddenly, and the troops rioted, and the frightened devil-sized commander lay on the ditch and did not dare to raise his head.

The light and heavy machine gun shooters of the Japanese army were basically cleared in the first round of shooting by the sharpshooters of the Eighth Route Army, and the deputy machine gun shooters were shot in the head as soon as they took the position, and the red and white objects were sprayed on the enemy puppet army around them.
