Before Captain Inoue finished speaking, under the powerful offensive of the Eighth Route Army, in addition to the central pillbox he occupied, the army transfer station was still blocking the attacking Eighth Route Army with firepower, and all other open and dark forts and ancillary firepower positions were all broken through or destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the line was broken, and the captain of Inoue called hoarsely for a long time, but there was still no sound.

Captain Inoue shouted to the devils on the upper and lower floors of the bunker: "We are the imperial warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, the most loyal subjects of His Majesty the Emperor, in order to establish a new order in Greater East Asia, we will block the attacking Dohachi Road with the greatest firepower, and hold on until the reinforcements sent by the commander of the Yoshimaru Brigade arrive in time to eliminate the sneak attack Dohachiro." ”

Lei Jian found that the firepower of the devil's central turret was even more fierce, and the attacking first and second battalions could not be attacked for a long time, if they could not overcome this difficult central turret after another hour of stalemate, then they must give up this sneak attack battle and quickly withdraw from the battle.

But he could not give up this campaign, once he lost the large number of weapons and ammunition, food and horse materials that the captured Japanese army had transferred to the battle, as well as medicine and military supplies urgently needed by the troops, this great opportunity, then his only regiment of nearly 5,000 cadres and soldiers, as well as nearly 500 war horses, not to mention weapons and ammunition, so many people and horses to eat and drink, and the soldiers who were seriously wounded in each battle, could not get timely treatment with medicine, and the troops would soon lose their combat effectiveness.

The arrow has to be sent on the string, Lei Jian can't wait, and he doesn't dare to wait, this time the Japanese army in Jianggezhuang is going to fight, and he is bound to win.

He shouted to the guard platoon leader beside him, "Song Tiedan, lead the guard platoon to rush ...... me." ”

Just as Lei Jian led the guard platoon, he was about to rush to the front line, when suddenly from behind there was a hurried call from Director Zhang Ping of the Telecommunications Investigation Department: "Commander Lei, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is in an emergency." ”

Lei Jian waved his hand to stop the movement of the guard platoon, turned around and rushed towards Zhang Ping, and shouted through Commander Nie's urgent telegram: "Director Zhang, tell me the content of the emergency telegram first." ”

Zhang Ping panted and reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, Commander Nie sent an urgent telegram: Lei Jian, the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese invaders quickly sent two squadrons to the stronghold of Jiang Gezhuang, and also learned that the Japanese fighters rushed to the air at dawn, and ordered your cavalry battalion, before three o'clock in the morning, regardless of the success of the battle, to resolutely withdraw from the battle, and quickly return to Laiyuan to contain the enemy in the city." ”

When Lei Jian heard the content of the emergency telegram, he was taken aback and quickly read the telegram twice by means of the smoke and flames, and he decisively ordered the battalion and company commanders to rush to him as quickly as possible.

In a short time, Li Gang, deputy regiment commander, cavalry battalion commander Ma Ming, instructor Fang Chao, deputy battalion commander Gong Zhijian, and three company commanders, as well as Qu Jiaming of the reconnaissance company, Liang Zhiyong, county squadron leader, and Song Tiedan, commander of the guard platoon, quickly came to Lei Jian in less than five minutes.

Lei Jian said sharply: "You all listen to me, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region personally called, ordering my cavalry battalion to work at three o'clock in the morning, no matter how the battle goes, we must immediately withdraw from the battlefield, return to Laiyuan City, and contain the enemy in the city, in case the dog jumps over the wall to break through the infantry defense line of our only regiment, and reinforces the three divisions are attacking the battle of Lingqiu City." ”

Ma Ming jumped to his feet and shouted: "Commander Lei, it can't be like this, the soldiers are working desperately to take the Jianggezhuang Japanese army transfer station, seeing that a large number of weapons, ammunition and food are about to arrive in our hands, now there is only the last pillbox left, as long as it is destroyed, we will be done, and we can capture the ...... that the only regiment urgently needs." ”

Lei Jian didn't wait for Battalion Commander Ma Ming and the others to continue, he had to hurry up and redeploy the defense, otherwise once the Japanese ground and air reinforcements were in place, the cavalry reinforcement battalion he brought would be surrounded and intercepted by air fighters, and the Japanese army on the ground would be surrounded.

At that time, it is to remove all the things in the enemy's military depot, and in the end, even people and things will be buried in the rain of bullets and bombing by enemy planes.

Everyone saw that Lei Jian suddenly interrupted Ma Ming's shouting, and ordered in a stern tone: "Order Ma Ming to lead a company of cavalry, and within half an hour, destroy the central turret of the devil, the main way of combat and attack, take the earth tank blasting, and you will execute it immediately."

I ordered Deputy Regiment Commander Li Gang to bring the carriage prepared by Captain Liang Zhiyong of the county squadron and load it according to my deployment.

The second and third companies were ordered to make use of all the horses in the cavalry battalion and carry weapons, ammunition and food, and the instructor Fang Chao was responsible. ”

At this time, Liang Zhiyong of the county squadron interjected and asked: "Commander Lei, I received instructions from the county party committee and ordered my squadron to follow the only regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and there is this one. As he spoke, he pulled a person to Lei Jian's side and continued: "Head Lei, this is the Minister of Enemy Engineering of the Anti-Japanese Government of Jianggezhuang Town. ”

Lei Jian took advantage of the time when Ma Ming led a company to attack the central turret, grabbed the enemy minister and asked quickly: "Comrade, time is pressing, long story short." ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, my anti-Japanese town government, expand anti-Japanese propaganda and mobilization, and actively ask more than 500 young people to join the Eighth Route Army, hearing the gunshots, take the initiative to find the organization, and strongly ask the firing line to join the army to kill devils, they are all waiting in the village office to reply, you say ......."

As soon as Lei Jian heard that the Minister of Enemy Industry had said that there were more than 500 young people who had actively asked to join the Eighth Route Army, waiting in the village office, he happily held the hand of the Minister of Enemy Industry again and said, "Thank you." ”

He turned back to Gong Zhijian, deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, and ordered: "Deputy battalion commander Gong, you immediately take a platoon of soldiers, follow this comrade, quickly go to the village office, organize more than 500 new soldiers into a brigade, and within 15 minutes, tell them to bring flat poles and ropes, and rush to the Japanese army that has already been captured to fight." ”

After Lei Jian gave the order, he shouted to the commander beside him: "Be ready for the next step of battle, once the first company conquers the central turret, immediately follow the order." ”

Qu Jiaming didn't hear what the task of his reconnaissance company was, so he anxiously pulled the thunder sword and asked, "Commander Lei, you won't forget my Qu Jiaming's reconnaissance company, right?" ”

"No, your task will be explained to you separately, you have to remember for me, whether the cavalry battalion can get out of danger this time, whether the captured weapons, ammunition, food and other military supplies can be safely transported back to the only regiment, it all depends on your reconnaissance company." In the night, Lei Jian pressed his right hand heavily on Qu Jiaming's shoulder.

Qu Jiaming received an arduous task, he felt a heavy burden, and did a division of labor with Qi Mingyuan, deputy commander of the reconnaissance company, Qu Jiaming led two platoons to perform a secret mission at the captured Japanese army transfer station, and Qi Mingyuan led a cavalry platoon to prepare for battle outside the village.

Time passed little by little, Lei Jian saw that the central turret had not been broken through, he was afraid that it would be too late, so he ordered all troops to dodge the enemy's bullets according to the order, and quickly turned to the Japanese army.

The enemy puppet army at the military transfer station has been wiped out by the second cavalry company, and now every warehouse door is being opened, the weapons, ammunition and military supplies piled up inside are inspected, and they are sorted according to the order of the commander of the thunder sword regiment.

The central turret was not overcome, and the fire radiated directly to the passage leading from the gate to the warehouse of the military transfer station, oppressing the troops moving forward and the new soldiers who had just joined the Eighth Route Army, and could not carry out the operation.

Lei Jian couldn't wait, he took the guard platoon, braved the rain of bullets in the central artillery tower of the Japanese army, and rushed to Ma Ming's side.

As soon as Ma Ming saw the Thunder Sword venture to rush to the front of the position, he exclaimed, "Commander Lei, quickly withdraw from the forward position, it is dangerous here." ”

"Battalion Commander Ma, how long will it take for your cavalry company to conquer this sturdy devil's central turret? I can't wait, even the entire troops involved in the battle can't wait, do you understand? ”

"Report to Commander Lei, now there is half an hour before you gave, there are still ten minutes, I promise to destroy the devil's central turret in advance, you just wait to celebrate me." Ma Ming wasn't talking big, the third batch of earth tank demolition teams he arranged was already approaching the entrance and exit of the central turret, and was placing explosives.

Just as he finished talking to Lei Jian, suddenly the central turret that was still bubbling with tongues of fire sounded a deafening sound of multiple explosions, and after the dust, stones, and gravel fell to the ground, the central turret that was still bubbling with tongues of fire just now was no longer visible in the blur, and at this time there was a smoky mound in front of it.

With the last shot, the first company of the cavalry battalion completed the arduous task of destroying the enemy's artillery tower eight minutes ahead of schedule, but the soldiers of the first company suffered heavy casualties, and this kind of attack with elite troops was really a bit .......

Lei Jian stood up and ordered to Ma Ming: "Quickly settle the soldiers who were killed and injured in the battle after the battle, you lead the troops to carry out the next task as quickly as possible, according to my orders." ”

At this moment, Zhang Ping, director of the Electrical Investigation Department, rushed to Lei Jian again, handed over a telegram and shouted: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is in an emergency." ”

"What? Enemy ground reinforcements, only ten kilometers from the Japanese stronghold in Jiangezhuang? Ordered our troops to withdraw from the battle as soon as possible. This, to pay such a heavy price, to shed blood and sacrifice just to conquer the enemy's stronghold, and to withdraw without even catching a little fur? Lei Jian waved the message and shouted emotionally.
