As soon as Lei Jian heard the cavalry shouting loudly, 'The leader of the left column is surrounded by the enemy', he suddenly dragged the cavalryman off his horse, and shouted in a rude voice: "Tell me quickly, where is Commander Yang and his party besieged by the enemy?" ”

He didn't wait for the cavalry to reply, and immediately ordered the chief of staff of Zhou Peng beside him: "Order the head of the regiment to run to me, run, do you understand?" ”

At this time, Ma Mingshan's political commissar Cha Gang happened to pass by, and after hearing Lei Jian's simple words, he urged: "The head of the column is surrounded by the enemy, and now 100,000 are in a hurry, you are here to command, and I will lead the troops to ......." ”

"Political Commissar Ma, you listen, the unit organs have always been in command when I left the unit, and now this task is still handed over to you, I will lead the cavalry battalion, reconnaissance company, and guard platoon, and immediately rush to the aid to rescue the head of the left column."

At this time, the head of the regiment came to Lei Jian one by one out of breath, and Lei Jian did not dare to order directly: "Order Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Xiaoliang, according to my siege deployment of Laiyuan City, under your command, you must hold out until noon tomorrow." ”

He also ordered Li Gang and Qu Jiaming, as well as Song Tiedan, the commander of the guard platoon who had returned to the team: "Prepare the war horse immediately, and act with me now." ”

Li Gang frowned and asked, "Commander Lei, which unit will take over the position after the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company are evacuated?" ”

"You assemble the cavalry battalion at once, and I'll arrange it." Lei Jian ordered Zhou Peng: "Chief of Staff Zhou, you lead one battalion and one company, three battalions and eight companies to take over the positions of the cavalry battalion and reconnaissance platoon. ”

At this time, the cavalry battalion, reconnaissance company, and guard platoon had already rushed over on horseback, and Lei Jian shouted to the messenger soldier standing aside: "Get on your horse quickly, move with me, and tell me more details on the way." ”

Hundreds of war horses rushed out of the village, stepping on the dirt road that had been cut down on both sides, and after the war horses, they burst into dust and fog that covered the sky and the sun, and spun towards the southeast.

The soldier who reported the news shouted loudly in parallel with Lei Jian's fast horse: "Commander Lei, I am Li Guang, the operational staff officer of the 1st Division Headquarters, the head of the column left your regiment and went to the west village of the Juma River on the west bank of the Juma River, and encountered a small group of devils, Commander Yang ordered to avoid the enemy and go around the enemy's back to continue to run to the 25th Regiment, which was discovered by this devil team and immediately encircled, and finally broke through after a desperate battle, but because he was outnumbered, he was besieged by the enemy on a high ground on the west bank of the Juma River. ”

"Okay, Staff Officer Li, you lead the way in front, according to the terrain, when you are about to approach the enemy, attack him unprepared, and annihilate the besieging enemy in one fell swoop."

After Lei Jian finished speaking, he made a sharp whistle to the cavalry reinforcement battalion behind, and the soldiers heard this kind of emergency signal only when they were very dangerous and ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions quickly, and now it sounded, not only did they all tremble, urging their horses to gallop and sprint all the way.

Commander Yang led the head of the column, under the guard of a squad of soldiers, to leave the only regiment, but he did not expect to be surrounded by a squad of devils in the west village of Juma River, and at this time he was occupying the high ground and carrying out a stubborn fire counterattack with the attacking devils.

The head of the column, including the guard squad, most of them are short guns, only one machine gun, and the bullets they carry will not be too much, and in the battle with the enemy, the machine gun bridge clip has been emptied, and there is no ammunition to replenish, relying only on a few rifles and short guns to block the attack of a squad of devils, you can imagine how grim the situation will be.

The leader of the devil squad found that this small army riding a war horse had a large age difference in the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and this bastard immediately concluded that he had encountered a small unit of the command organ of the Eighth Route Army.

After a short period of firepower contact, the firepower of the left column was found out by the leader of the devil squad, and he laughed loudly: "The warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, the small unit of the Eighth Route Army we met today, most of their weapons are short guns, and their combat ability is low. ”

As soon as the little devil heard that the small unit of the Eighth Route Army that was fighting with him was the command organ of the Eighth Route Army, he was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and chased after the retreating Commander Yang and his party with the tail of the gun, and bit it.

Commander Yang faced these crazy little devils who pounced on them, and said to the other leaders: "I will lead the guard squad to block the devils who pounced on them, and you will immediately occupy the high ground in the west village of Juma River, and the fire will cover our retreat." ”

Deputy Commander Gao ordered to the two staff officers beside him: "Quickly cover the retreat of Commander Yang and the head of the column, I will lead the guard squad to cover, bastard, quickly execute the order." ”

Commander Yang, under the escort of two staff officers, was forcibly pushed to the high ground, and as soon as he landed on the high ground, Commander Yang ordered: "Quickly build a blocking position and wait for reinforcements from Lei Jian's only regiment." ”

Deputy Commander Gao led the guard squad, relying on the short guns in his hands alone, lying on a weir to block the devil squad that came up to him, a few short guns, which is the opponent of a team of devils with strong firepower? Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by enemy fire, Deputy Commander Gao shouted: "Eleven soldiers are divided into three battle groups, cross cover, and quickly retreat. ”

The fighters who blocked the enemy shouted to Deputy Commander Gao: "Deputy Commander Gao, you withdraw quickly, we will cover, and if we don't retreat, it will be too late." ”

Xiao He, an operational staff officer, ordered the three soldiers beside him: "We are not allowed to retreat, cover on the spot, even if we confront the enemy's firepower with our lives, we must ensure that the senior deputy commander withdraws from the position." ”

Deputy Commander Gao led two battle groups, retreating while blocking the attack, and finally killed the devil's firepower, and now only two soldiers were left with the seven people to follow Commander Gao.

Seeing that he had been surrounded by the enemy, the high commander also killed the devil's fire blockade, and he said to the soldiers who were blocking the enemy back to back with him: "Brother, today we are going to fight the enemy until the last moment, are you afraid?" ”

The warrior gritted his teeth and said, "What if you are afraid, what if you are not afraid?" Do we want to be like pigs tied up, dogs hanging on beams, crying and begging the butcher to put down the butcher's knife and let us go? Hahaha, sticking out your head is death, shrinking your head or dying, it's better to be tough, kill one more devil and earn one, you say yes, what staff officer? ”

"Brother said well, leave the last breath, concentrate the grenades on your body, and when you are about to fall down in the end, pull the grenades, and die with the enemy, hahaha, there can be several times in life, we will die vigorously."

Staff Officer He and the soldiers beside him were shot in the legs, and their bodies were about to fall down as soon as they became weak, but they supported each other, shot the last bullet, glanced at the gun in their hands, and said tragically: "Old man, we can't take you on the road, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely continue to kill devils with your gun." ”

The leader of the devil squad saw that there was only one soldier left next to Staff Officer He, this cunning guy, trying to persuade the two surrounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to surrender, shouted to the devils around him with a gun: "Don't shoot, catch alive." ”

Staff Officer He hugged the soldier who was still breathing, and his body was weak and couldn't stand, he encouraged: "Good brother, don't worry, wait for brother, wait for brother to sound the grenade, let's go on the road together, and chase our brother who is one step ahead on the Naihe Bridge." ”

The leader of the devil squad surrounded the two of them, getting closer and closer, and suddenly stood up four or five steps, staring at the two strong soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were about to fall.

I only heard a howl: "Don't be afraid, as long as you two raise your guns and surrender, mine will spare your life, and I will give you two to treat your wounds, you must know, survive, the money is big, the flower girl is big, did you hear clearly?" ”

"Hahaha, I know that if I survive, there will be a lot of things we need, I like money, I haven't married a wife and had children, I want to find a good woman to live with, go home and honor my parents, these are all very beautiful when I think about it.

But you little devils occupy my country's land, slaughter my village, ** my sisters, do all the evil things that lose their conscience, I want to live, live to kill you bastards.

However, if I want to live, I must live decently, and I will never be a dog for the little dwarf of the East Widow, if I live like that, it is better to die a heroic death. Come, come closer, and I'll bury you all with me. ”

The little devil listened to the impassioned refutation of the dirt in front of him, and shouted like thunder: "Bastard, I want to leave you a way to live, you don't thank me, and humiliate me so recklessly, then you should die." ”

"Hahaha, you all go die——。" Staff Officer He violently pulled the grenade that he and hugged the soldier, and suddenly pounced on the leader of the devil squad.
