The enemy, with the superiority in strength and firepower that absolutely overwhelmed the position of the Eighth Route Army, pounced on the positions on both flanks, and deployed a battalion on the left and right flanks.

The little devils who pounced on them were repelled by the strong soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but a bigger wave of devils behind them pressed over, and the soldiers at this time with the fastest shooting speed, even if they didn't have time to pull off the grenade ring and throw it out like this, it was difficult to stop the enemy's crazy counterattack.

The little devils swarmed to the position, and the soldiers had no time to push the bullets to load, so in order to hold the position, they bravely jumped up, held the rifles with bayonets, and started a white-knuckle battle with the enemy at the front of the position.

Adopt white-knuckle combat with well-trained little devils, to put it mildly, the veteran soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are not devil opponents of fighting masters at all, and it is very difficult to work one-on-one, not to mention the new soldiers who have just joined the army for a short time, they can only fight with the enemy for their lives and die under the bayonets of the devils.

At this time, the devils who pounced on occupied the forward position, and more and more, a few little devils on the position surrounded and killed a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, at the beginning of the fight was very fierce, in the end, the arrogant devil, actually brutally launched a fight, a bayonet and a bayonet did not stab the vital point of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, but waited for the soldiers to be stabbed out of a bloody hole, drained the blood on their bodies, really couldn't hold on, and then stabbed to death by the murderous devil.

Under the frantic attack of the enemy, the soldiers of the 5th Regiment fell under the enemy's bayonets one after another, and the positions were soon all lost.

As soon as the positions on both flanks were broken through, the only regiment that was stationed in the front position would lose its arms, and it would be surrounded by a large force of the enemy from the front and on both flanks, and with the strength of one regiment, it would not be able to resist the frantic attack of six or seven thousand little devils.

When Li Gang found that the positions on the two flanks under the mountain, 30 meters away from the frontal position, would soon be broken through under the enemy's frantic attack, he decisively ordered the fourth battalion as a reserve to reinforce the left flank position, the third battalion of the fifth regiment to reinforce the right flank position, and the first and second battalions of the only regiment on the front to block the enemy attacking the front with the most fierce firepower.

The commander of the Fifth Regiment did not expect that the enemy would gradually assemble a large force to advance steadily, advance to a certain distance, and suddenly launch an explosive charge, with absolute superiority in strength and firepower, to pounce on the positions on both flanks, causing the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the position to suddenly lose their minds under the enemy's powerful offensive, and when they reacted, they could no longer stop a large number of little devils who rushed to the position.

He looked at the soldiers who fought bravely with the devils who pounced, one by one fell under the enemy's bayonets, fell in a pool of blood, the red blood soaked the earth, forming a blood flow along the slope, he shouted angrily: "The soldiers who are still alive, avenge the sacrificed comrades, fight with the little devils at all costs, kill the devils, kill the devils, kill the devils——。 ”

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were surrounded and divided by a large number of devils, although they had no chance of winning against the enemy, they had put their lives on the line, and as long as they had a breath, they would never fall and fight the enemy to the end.

Seeing that the positions on the left and right flanks of the Fifth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were broken through by the enemy, and the battle for positions was underway, the Eighth Route Army was already in a very unfavorable situation, and the loss of the position was a foregone conclusion, even if all the soldiers of the first and second battalions of the Fifth Regiment fought heroically with the enemy and died, there was no way to redeem the defeat.

At the last moment of the battlefield situation on the two flanks, Li Gang led the fourth battalion of the only regiment and the third battalion of the fifth regiment to leap out of the frontal position.

While holding a machine gun and spitting out tongues of fire to kill the enemy, Li Gang shouted to Commander Pang: "Commander Pang, immediately order the first and second battalions of the Fifth Regiment in the left and right flank positions, under the cover of the fire of the reinforcements, immediately withdraw from their positions and move closer to the frontal position. ”

"Bastard, the left and right flank positions held by my Fifth Regiment must not be lost to the little devils so easily, I want to lead the first and second battalions of the Fifth Regiment to kill and repel the devils' attacks and regain the position." Captain Pang was covered in blood, screaming and killing the enemy.

Li Gang saw that a large number of devils were entering the left and right flank positions at the fastest speed, and the positions at this time had been occupied by the devils, if the Fifth Regiment did not withdraw in time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who would be surrounded and divided would not survive, and all of them would be strangled by the enemy meaninglessly.

He shouted again: "Commander Pang, the position has been lost, blindly starting a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, there will be greater casualties, as the front-line commander of the military city, I order you to lead the first and second battalions of the fifth regiment, under the cover of fire, immediately withdraw from the position, and quickly give me the order." ”

When he saw the soldiers on the positions of the first and second battalions on the left and right flanks, they were divided by the enemy and collapsed, although he was furious in his heart, but he did not dare to fight, and the result of the war was the annihilation of the fifth regiment.

Commander Pang held back the grief and anger in his heart, and ordered the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment who were still fighting the enemy: "All the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, under the cover of fire, kill out of the enemy's encirclement, retreat to the main frontal position, and retreat quickly. ”

At this time, it was too late to withdraw from the position, although Li Gang led two battalions to reinforce the left and right flank positions with the momentum of a tiger descending the mountain, covering the withdrawal of the first and second battalions of the fifth regiment from the position and retreating to the main position of the mountain, but the soldiers who had been surrounded by a large number of devils on the position received orders to desperately break through, but most of the soldiers were finally hunted by the enemy who surrounded them because the enemy was outnumbered, and they fell heroically on the position.

Li Gang constantly ordered: "Reinforcements, fire to cover the retreat of the soldiers of the left and right flank positions, not to fight with the enemy, and retreat after fighting, withdraw to the main position, cooperate with the first and second battalions of the only regiment, and repel the enemy's attack with maximum firepower."

Under the fire reinforcement of the two battalions led by Li Gang, some of the soldiers broke out of the encirclement and withdrew to the main position, and most of the soldiers fell under the devil's bayonet when they started a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, and fought to the last moment with blood and life, in the fight of blood and fire, and heroically sacrificed their young lives.

The two battalions of the Fifth Regiment, which had withdrawn to the main position, were less than one battalion at this time, and the reinforcements were blocking the enemy while covering the retreat, and as soon as they withdrew to the main position, they immediately relied on the trenches and fortifications to shoot and kill a large number of little devils who were following closely after them with the greatest firepower.

Li Gang said to Regiment Commander Pang, who was already seriously wounded: "Commander Pang, you have been seriously wounded, immediately withdraw from the position and have the wounds bandaged by the field medical team." ”

"Commander Li, leave me alone, my old Pang can't die yet, as long as I still have a breath, I will never leave the position."

Li Gang shouted to the deputy captain of the field medical team: "Aster, quickly send someone to bandage Commander Pang's wounds." ”

Commander Pang lay at the front of the position, holding a 38 big cover, quickly pulled the trigger, didn't even need to aim, and knocked down a crowded devil with one shot.

It's not that Commander Pang is a sharpshooter with a hundred shots, but an attacking devil, frantically rushing to the front of the main position in groups, as long as he doesn't shoot into the sky and underground, every shot can destroy an enemy.

Commander Pang looked at the attacking devils, more and more, as if all the six or seven thousand devils under the mountain were mobilized to the attacking battlefield, and no matter how they were killed, they couldn't finish killing. Not only did he frown and shouted to Li Gang: "Commander Li, my Fifth Regiment can now break the formation, and you will have full command of this battle, so you can give the order quickly." ”

Li Gang greatly appreciated Regiment Commander Pang's open-mindedness and straightforwardness in this unfavorable situation on the battlefield, and he shouted unceremoniously: "The deputy battalion commanders of each battalion led the soldiers to hold their positions and bravely kill the enemy, and the commanders of the One Regiment and the Fifth Regiment, as well as the commanders of each battalion, immediately withdrew from the main position and withdrew 15 meters to the rear to receive a new combat order. ”

The commander of the only regiment and the fifth regiment and the battalion ran to Li Gang's side, and the regiment commander Pang, supported by two soldiers, stood beside Li Gang and said first: "The three battalions of the fifth regiment are now under the command of the commander of Li Gang. ”

Li Gang said without pretentiousness: "Comrades, the cadres and soldiers of our only regiment and the fifth regiment, according to the order of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Command, have been on the front line of the military city for nearly 16 hours, and there is still an hour before they withdraw from their positions.

If we want to hold out for another hour, if we do not show the spirit of desperate saburo, rationally deploy troops, and adjust the range of weapons and equipment and firepower, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for even 10 minutes under the dangerous situation of the enemy's large army pressing the border.

I ordered that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions of the 5th Regiment should be immediately organized into the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions of the 1st Regiment, and Zhang Ting, deputy commander of the 1st Regiment, ....... ”
