Zhang Ting was suddenly shot and fell to the ground, under the reflection of the war, seeing Niu Dali, who was shot and fell to the ground by Zhang Ting, he could no longer control and shouted: "There is a kind of Eighth Route Army soldier, give me the maximum firepower, eliminate the devils on the east bank of the Yellow River, avenge Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang and the sacrificed comrades, kill the devils, rush——。 ”

Niu Dali led a battalion of soldiers, braving the dense rain of bullets and bullets of the two squadrons of the Japanese army on the beach, and went forward to kill the enemy.

Cao Shangui, the commander of the second battalion, saw that the first battalion had launched a fierce attack on the position on the east bank of the Devil's Yellow River pontoon bridge from the upstream, he waved his pistol and shouted: "Soldiers of the second battalion, the time has come to test us, the enemy's two bunkers have been destroyed, our second battalion cannot lag behind, launch a general attack on the devil's position with maximum firepower, eliminate the little devils in the shore and beach position, kill——。 ”

The main force of the two battalions of the Eighth Route Army, nearly 1,000 officers and men, under the leadership of the deputy regiment commander and battalion commander, launched the most fierce attack on the enemy's position.

At this time, the cavalry battalion, which had already solved the battle of the enemy and puppet army on the periphery, turned back to the main battlefield, and saw the two infantry battalions launching a general attack on the enemy position, Li Gang brandished his saber and ordered: "The enemy's shore and beach positions have been surrounded on three sides, and the brothers of the cavalry battalion, brandishing their sabers, rushed into the enemy group to destroy this devil army that was sticking to the position. ”

The captain of the devil brigade, who commanded the blockade of the position, ordered the captain of the Miura squadron who was in charge of blocking the front of the position: "Increase the firepower, we must block the Tuba Road 50 meters outside the position, I have already telegraphed to the commander of the 372nd Wing, requesting rapid reinforcements, now there are still 50 miles from the east bank of the Yellow River, as long as we hold on for two hours, the Tuba Road attacking the beach position will be attacked by fierce fire from the front and back, and they will all die." ”

Under the intimidation of Jiro Miura, the nephew of the combat staff of the 372nd Wing, he fled from Guangcheng in a hurry and returned to the Yellow River pontoon bridge beach position, and did not dare to stay for a moment, and handed over to the captain the confidential documents of the 372nd Wing's secret march to the Dezhou battlefield within three days and the need to quickly pass through the Yellow River pontoon bridge.

At this time, he saw that the strength of a regiment of the Eighth Route Army had reached the position on the east bank of the Yellow River pontoon bridge so quickly, and the target he had bitten was so accurate, he already knew in his heart that the confidential documents he had brought back had been leaked, and that the Eighth Route Army had obtained the top-secret documents so that he could attack the Japanese army's position on the Yellow River pontoon bridge in the shortest possible time.

In order to remedy his mistakes, this cunning and ferocious bastard ordered all light and heavy weapons to distinguish the main force of the Eighth Route Army from attack, and use the greatest firepower to eliminate this large army of the Eighth Route Army, which gave him a headache.

Political Commissar Luo Jinchuan, who was organizing a large force to attack, saw that the soldiers who were rushing to the front had been shot and fell in a pool of blood by the enemy's powerful firepower, and he ordered the troops to suspend the attack, readjust the offensive plan, and then carry out the most fierce fire strike on the enemy's shore and beach positions.

Lei Jian, who was standing on the other side of the Yellow River, held a telescope in his hand, and looked at the entire battle situation on the east bank of the Yellow River, he saw that the main force of the Independent Regiment was like a group of fierce tigers, pounced on the Devil's beach position, and fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one, without retreating.

Lei Jian frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "This kind of attack on the enemy's position with the tactics of crowds is simply disregarding the lives of the soldiers, this kind of tactics will not only have little effect, but will also cause great casualties to the attacking troops." ”

When he saw the elite cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment, swinging his sword into the attacking team, he scolded: "Bastard, this is looking for death." ”

Lei Jian ordered Zhang Ping beside him: "Order Niu Dali, the deputy regiment commander on the east bank of the Yellow River, to concentrate all the mortars and heavy machine guns of the independent regiment into one battalion, and destroy the Japanese devil positions on both sides of the pontoon bridge with the most fierce firepower."

Cao Shangui was ordered to lead the 2nd Battalion to launch a feint attack on the frontal position of the Japanese army on the beach, not for the purpose of seizing the position, mainly to contain the enemy's main force to increase the counterattack, and to contain the enemy's main firepower on the beach.

He ordered Li Gang's cavalry battalion to hand over the horses to Luo Jinchuan, political commissar, organized cavalry soldiers to cooperate with the first battalion to shell the enemy's position, and launched the most fierce attack on the beachhead of the Yellow River pontoon bridge, and ordered the first battalion and the cavalry battalion to seize the position on the east bank of the Yellow River pontoon bridge in 15 minutes at all costs, cover the regimental organs and logistics units, and quickly pass the pontoon bridge to reach the west bank of the Yellow River.

Dong Dayong of the Political Department was ordered to load all the weapons, ammunition, and military supplies of the independent regiment on war horses, and be ready to force the Yellow River pontoon bridge at any time.

Ordered Qi Benfeng's third battalion, leaving a company to monitor the enemy's movements east of the east bank of the Yellow River, and found that the enemy was approaching, and wanted to block the enemy's reinforcement of the Japanese pontoon bridge position on the Yellow River at any cost, and ordered Qi Benfeng to lead two companies to suddenly appear downstream of the Japanese position on the pontoon bridge, pin down the enemy with the most fierce firepower, and cover the crossing of the Yellow River by the large force. ”

He waited for Zhang Ping to finish issuing orders to the troops of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army on the east bank of the Yellow River, he called Wang Xiaoliang to him, and gave a decisive order: "You lead the vanguard company, carrying light and heavy weapons, to quickly pass the Yellow River pontoon bridge by night, and quickly approach the Japanese beach position on the east bank of the Yellow River. ”

Wang Xiaoliang replied with a salute: "Please rest assured, Commander Lei, I will definitely lead the vanguard company to cooperate with the troops on the east bank in the shortest possible time to eliminate the enemy on the pontoon bridges and tidal flats, and smoothly bring the regimental organs and logistics units to the west bank of the Yellow River." ”

He just turned around and ran out a few steps, ordered the vanguard company to act with him, and suddenly ran back to Lei Jian's side, and shouted loudly: "Commander Lei, I will take all the soldiers of the pioneer company away, and there will be only the guard squad left around you on the west bank ......of the Yellow River. ”

"Bastard, there is no time, the large army must all pass through the pontoon bridge before dawn, once the devil's large army is reinforced, the large army on the east bank of the Yellow River will be flanked by front and rear fire, and at that time, the entire independent regiment will be devastated, you quickly give me the order."

Wang Xiaoliang knows very well that every minute of delay given by a commander on the battlefield will cause unimaginably serious consequences.

He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers of the Vanguard Company: "Bring light and heavy weapons, and come with me quickly." ”

An elite force of less than 100 people, along the tidal flats on the west bank of the Yellow River, stepped on the pontoon bridge across the Yellow River, and led the platoon commander Song Chun, who rushed in front, with a machine gun in his arms, and ordered the soldiers who followed closely behind: "Be careful and slow down, don't shake the pontoon bridge too much, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the devils on the east bank." ”

The soldiers of the pioneer company were very cautious and demanded to move closer to the east bank quickly, fearing that they would disturb the enemy on the east bank, so they worked hard one by one and approached the east bank of the Yellow River step by step.

At this time, the units of the East Bank Independent Regiment received the latest order from Lei Jian and quickly launched the most fierce fire attack on the enemy's beach positions in accordance with the new operational arrangements.

Niu vigorously concentrated the independent regiment into a battalion of mortars and heavy machine guns, made the most reasonable configuration, and ordered the artillery to aim at the enemy's powerful fire embankment and open fire. The heavy machine guns were ordered to destroy the enemy close to the upper reaches of the pontoon bridge with maximum firepower.

Cao Shangui, commander of the 2nd Battalion, led the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion to face the powerful firepower of the enemy's position on the frontal beach, commanded the troops to advance steadily, did not rashly launch a charge, contained the enemy's main firepower on the front, and cooperated with the 1st and 3rd Battalions upstream and downstream of the pontoon bridge and beach to break through the enemy's position, seize the pontoon bridge, and cover the regimental organs and logistics departments to smoothly pass the pontoon bridge and reach the west bank.

Niu Dali said to Li Gang, the cavalry battalion commander who had been equipped: "Battalion Commander Li, as soon as the shelling stops, I will lead the first battalion as the first echelon to launch an attack on the enemy. ”

"Deputy Commander Wang, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are all mighty, and charging should be the main task of the cavalry battalion, although the battalion you lead is the main force of the independent regiment, it is still ...... inferior to the cavalry battalion."

Zheng Tie, the commander of the first battalion standing on the side, grabbed Li Gang violently and scolded: "You bastard, even the commander of the Thunder Sword Regiment didn't underestimate my battalion, you dare to look down on my soldiers in front of me, are you ......." ”

Niu Dali watched the two battalion commanders arguing, and he scolded angrily: "You two bastards, when is it now, give me bullshit, the cavalry battalion is fighting on horseback, and the kung fu infantry on horseback can't compare, if you fight a tough battle, it's still our first battalion." ”
