Several enemy planes were fired at by rifle fire on the ground, and some of them were hit by bullets and had a hole punched, but they did not touch the vital points of the enemy planes, and the enemy pilots were frightened and immediately reported to the commander of the enemy fighters: "Report to the captain of the group, the ground earth tracking bombs are really powerful, and my fighter plane has been hit, and I request to return home." ”

The plane of the captain of the Japanese fighter flight group was also hit by a few bullets, but this did not prevent him from continuing the bombing, but he did not know how powerful the Eighth Route Army on the ground was in tracking the bomb position, so for the safety of the fighters, he ordered the fighters to return immediately.

Lei Jian watched the enemy planes flee from the sky, he lay on the edge of the crater, observed the enemy's stronghold with a telescope, and saw the crashed enemy fighter plane, which was still burning near the stronghold, and the main battalion of the only regiment was attacking the enemy stronghold with the most fierce firepower.

He immediately ordered Feng Guang, the platoon commander of the guard beside him: "Quickly find Director Zhang Ping of the Telecommunications Office and report to me immediately." ”

Zhang Ping, who had been protected by the soldiers arranged by Lei Jian, heard Lei Jian looking for him not far away, he braved the enemy's dense bullets, jumped into Lei Jian's hidden crater, and quickly asked: "Commander Lei, Zhang Ping reports, please instruct." ”

"Okay, immediately issue my latest order, order the cavalry battalion, the special service company, and Qu Jiaming's reconnaissance company to revoke the order to transfer like a flood head, and quickly rush to Dongdi Mountain to set up an ambush to block the enemy reinforced by Laiyuan, and at all costs, block the enemy at the foot of Dongdi Mountain, and cover the only regiment to conquer the Japanese army's stronghold."

Zhang Ping asked incomprehensibly: "Commander Lei, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, telegraphed my only regiment to give up attacking the Japanese stronghold of Zoumayi and move to the head of the flood." ”

"Long-winded, the situation has changed, revoke the retreat order, concentrate forces to destroy the Japanese stronghold in one fell swoop, give me an order quickly." Thunder Sword roared and shouted.

He ordered the guard platoon: "Follow me, move the battle command post forward, close to the command." ”

At this time, Ma Mingshan, the political commissar who received the transfer order, rushed to Lei Jian and asked very incomprehensibly: "Commander Lei, why did you change the transfer plan?" ”

"Now I can't tell, order the troops to suspend the transfer, and obey the battle of destroying the enemy's horse post stronghold, Ma Political Commissar, you convey my order, order Director Kong Xiang of the Political Department, lead the stretcher team and the field medical team, close to the wounded soldiers, and immediately carry out battlefield rescue.

In the rear, you should take the regimental organs and all the departments directly under you, and gather the peasant children who are required to join the Eighth Route Army in the battlefield to join the rescue team, and carry them out quickly. ”

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang saw Lei Jian move the command post to the forefront of the position, and he asked incomprehensibly: "Commander Lei, aren't we going to transfer?" Is it to completely destroy the Japanese army's stronghold? ”

"You're right, I order you to immediately organize the most powerful offensive force, concentrate forces and firepower, and destroy the stronghold within an hour, this is the order, and immediately deploy a new combat plan."

Lei Jian suddenly changed his plan of action, not for the sake of face, let alone being knocked unconscious by the enemy, gambling with the lives of soldiers and fighting to the death with the enemy, but according to the change in the battlefield situation, he decisively made a new decision.

Lei Jian took the initiative to send a report to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, proposing that the enemy had strong strength and firepower, and that there were two more Japanese reinforcements and possibly more Japanese reinforcements to reinforce the Japanese stronghold of Zoumayi.

In addition, in order to keep this important stronghold and hold the main communication route, the enemy will inevitably send a large number of fighters to carry out air support, and if the attack continues to attack the stronghold at this time, the only regiment will be hit by unprecedented difficulties and the enemy's air and ground firepower, and only then will it have to request to withdraw from the battle.

Lei Jian was about to order the troops to quickly withdraw from the battle and move to the flood head according to Commander Nie's order, but at this moment, six enemy fighters flew over the sky, and it was too late to transfer.

If they are tracked and attacked by the enemy's air and ground firepower, it is better to take this opportunity to carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship or sacrifice against the enemy in the air and on the ground, fight to the death against the enemy, and bring himself to death and then come back to life.

This seemingly desperate and risky action was actually taken into account by Lei Jian, and once the enemy planes were expelled and troops were sent to block the Japanese reinforcements, the main force of the single regiment was very likely to destroy the enemy's horse post stronghold.

This is not a gamble, but an excellent commander who is witty, brave, and resolute in his actions, who sees the light of day in a difficult situation, how to turn defeat into victory in an unfavorable situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Lei Jian did not expect to shoot down an enemy plane and scare away the enemy fighter group, when he saw the enemy plane leaving the sky and losing the enemy fighter air strike, Lei Jian saw the hope of destroying the Japanese army's horse post stronghold, and decisively changed the order to retreat to the flood head.

He ordered the cavalry battalion, special service company, and reconnaissance company to continue to send reinforcements, and ordered Wang Xiaoliang to lead the main force to destroy the horse post stronghold in one hour in one go.

The Japanese commander who was stationed in the stronghold, seeing the fighter planes flying away from the air, scolded frantically: "Bastard, just carried out three rounds of bombing, the elite of Tubalu did not suffer major losses at all, and the fighters suddenly flew away, what is the reason?" Bastard. ”

The commander of the devil's stronghold scolded and looked at the crashed fighter plane, and roared tremblingly in his heart: "The Tubalu is really powerful, and it actually destroyed the fighter plane of the Imperial Japanese Army, what kind of unit is this Tubalu?" ”

The Eighth Route Army suddenly launched the most fierce attack on the stronghold with the most powerful troops and firepower, and the Japanese commander scolded hysterically: "Baga, the air reinforcements flew away, and the ground reinforcements were gone. I'm not reconciled——。 ”

Under the powerful offensive, the only regiment quickly cleared all the Japanese fire positions on the periphery of the stronghold, approached the central pillbox, and surrounded the pillbox from all sides.

The Japanese commander ran to the west for a while, and then to the east through the hole of the gun, and after reading the four directions, he lamented: "Our Imperial Japanese Army is stationed in the base of the horse post, and there is no way to retreat at this time. ”

He shouted angrily: "Besieging the troops on all sides of the bunker, and casting poison gas bombs, I will poison them all in the horse post." ”

In the four directions of the central bunker, two poison gas bombs were reflected almost at the same time, and the poisonous mist released after the explosion of the poison gas bombs drifted out in all directions, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army besieging the bunker were suddenly eroded by the poison gas, and before they could bring on several layers of self-made cloth gas masks, they were poisoned and fell to the ground.

When Lei Jian found that the murderous little devil was using poison gas bombs, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat, and he ordered the guard platoon that followed him: "Quickly put on a gas mask, rush into the poison fog to snatch out the poisoned soldiers who fell to the ground, use cluster grenades to bombard the center of the poison gas, disperse the poison fog, and act quickly." ”

The soldiers of the guard platoon immediately put on their homemade 'gas masks', rushed into the poisonous mist, endured the poisonous gas that seeped into their mouths and noses, and desperately snatched the poisoned fighters out.

Feng Guang shouted to the guards platoon soldiers: "Immediately throw the cluster grenade into the center of the poisonous fog, and be fast." ”

Several successive explosions, the mud, dust, fog and shrapnel set off, swept away the poison gas in the center of the poison gas volatilization, and soon the poison gas was dispersed thin, Lei Jian ordered the troops, once again launched an attack on the enemy pillbox on all sides, must destroy the enemy center pillbox in the shortest possible time.

The Japanese commander looked at the Eighth Route Army outside the bunker, wearing a 'gas mask' made of unknown materials, rushed into the fog and dust where there was still poisonous gas, and launched the most fierce attack on the last central pillbox of the horse post without fear of death, and he shouted to the little devils in the bunker: "Gas bombs, quickly fire poison gas bombs again." ”

The little devil beside him shook his head and reported: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, all the gas bombs have been fired, and not a single gas bomb in the bunker is gone." ”

"Baga, there is no poison gas bomb to kill and injure Tubalu, the Great Japanese Imperial Army in my bunker is no longer able to confront a brigade of Tubalu, quickly ask for reinforcements from Shangfeng, bastard, did you hear that?"

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, contact Shangfeng by phone, the line has been cut off by Tubalu, now."

"Bastard, send a report quickly, directly to the commander of the second brigade, ask for reinforcements quickly. Bastard, send a quick telegram for reinforcements. The Japanese commander shouted hoarsely as he walked back and forth quickly in the bunker.

The commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade received a telegram asking for help from the Zoumayi stronghold, and he immediately ordered the troops stationed in Laiyuan and Lingqiu Imperial Army to quickly reinforce the Zoumayi stronghold.

After receiving the order, the commander of the Laiyuan garrison immediately dispatched more than 300 enemy puppet troops to the Zoumayi stronghold, and quickly pounced on the blocking position of the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company of the only regiment by truck.

Li Gang was commanding the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company to launch a fire attack on the enemy who had been reinforced in advance, when suddenly Qi Mingyuan, the deputy commander of the reconnaissance company in charge of vigilance, ran to Li Gang and shouted: "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, more than 300 reinforcements from the puppet army have rushed over from the direction of Laiyuan, what should we do?" ”
