Lei Jian saw that the soldiers were all withdrawn from the turret, and he shouted: "Quickly retreat fifty meters, no order, stay where you are and don't move, once a new situation arises, I will give you an order." ”

At this time, the cannon tower in the center of the new mine of Dongwangshe, the fireworks spread inside, rushing up quickly from the second floor, and soon the entire turret was filled with fireworks, only to see from the upper and lower layers of gun holes, out of the thick smoke tongue, the devils who survived above the third floor, were burned by the flames, smoked and roasted, howling and jumping around in the turret, and there was a terrible scream from different layers.

Some of the little devils were quickly smoked to death by the smoke and flames, and a few devils who slid down the stairs, with flames on their bodies, rushed out of the gate on the ground floor, rolled and fluttered on the ground, tossed to the end of their lives, and finally became a fire, fell to the ground and never got up again.

The fire in the turret by the combustibles inside, the more it burned, the more it burned, igniting the weapons and ammunition of the devils in the turret, and suddenly there was a violent explosion sound on the upper floors, and the entire turret collapsed on more than three floors.

When the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were hiding 50 meters away, saw that the central turret of the devils had been completely destroyed, the weapons and ammunition inside had been detonated, and the explosion flew up with shrapnel of masonry and stone, which flew into the air in all directions, and fell less than 10 meters in front of the soldiers like a rain of rubble.

When the soldiers saw this spectacular scene, they not only stuck out their tongues in fear and shouted: "Good boy, thanks to Commander Lei ordering the troops to retreat fifty meters, otherwise the masonry shrapnel that exploded on the upper floor of the artillery tower would not know how many soldiers would be buried, let alone how many soldiers would be killed or injured because of this." ”

Lei Jian looked at the central turret of the East Wangshe, and when the dawn came, the first rays of sunlight radiated in the east, and it collapsed with a bang, and the battle of the entire Dongwangshe New Mine was completely over, and the sound of guns and cannons could not be heard at this time, and what came into his eyes was the gunpowder smoke of the entire mining area, as well as the beacon fire that had not been extinguished.

When the final explosion and collapse of the central artillery tower, the battalion commanders of the 'One Regiment' ran to Lei Jian's side and immediately reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the enemy and puppet troops in the Dongwangshe New Mine have all been annihilated, and all the main buildings in the mining area, as well as machinery and equipment, and mine shafts have been destroyed, please instruct." ”

At this time, Ma Mingshan, who ran over, rushed to Lei Jian with a black face, if he hadn't spoken, no one would recognize him, he was Ma Mingshan, the political commissar of the 'only group'.

Ma Mingshan looked at Lei Jian, showed his mouth full of white teeth and said: "Commander Lei, more than 1,000 miners in the mining area, according to the pre-war deployment, have all been rescued, and many miners have resolutely asked to join the Eighth Route Army, Comrade Li Yu, the person in charge of the underground organization in the mining area, proposed that it has been agreed by the superiors that once the Jingcheng Coal Mine is destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, he will take all the miners of the underground anti-Japanese organization in the mining area to join the army directly, you see ....... ”

"Hahaha, a good thing, is this a very good thing, so that the ranks of our 'only regiment' have expanded again, and I think that the political commissar of Ma will do a good job in the conscription review work for the miners who are actively asking to join the Eighth Route Army, with the assistance of Comrade Li Yu, and before the troops leave, these new soldiers will be assigned to other units directly under each battalion and regiment according to each person's strengths."

Lei Jian watched Ma Mingshan turn around and leave, and quickly carried out his work according to the new order, he ordered the first battalion commander: "You order the second company to take the coal mountain that has been dug out and piled up in the mining area, we can't take it away, and we can't leave it to the little devils, continue to plague the soldiers and civilians in the anti-Japanese base area, pour coal gasoline, and set fire to the coal pile." ”

Zhang Ting, the commander of the first battalion, was just about to turn around and give an order, but Lei Jian pulled him, and then ordered: "You lead the third company, under the guidance of Li Yu or the comrades of the anti-Japanese organization in the mining area, to inspect all the coal-producing shafts in the mining area again, and if the wells have not been sealed, carry out explosives blasting, and extend the coal shafts to the deepest part with the maximum explosive force." ”

Lei Jian ordered Song Zhida, the commander of the second battalion: "Battalion commander Song, you lead the second battalion to conduct a large-scale search and arrest in the Dongwangshe mining area again, and the enemy puppet army that is found or reported by the labor in the mining area, once it is not honest, kill it on the spot, don't wait for us to leave, these scumbags will jump out and take crazy revenge on the miners." ”

Lei Jian ordered Li Gang: "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, you lead the cavalry battalion to search in the mining area, as long as it is useful to the troops, find a way to take everything you can take away." ”

He said to Wang Xiaoliang: "Deputy Commander Wang, you lead the cadres and soldiers of the Political Department and the Logistics Department to treat the devils in the mining area as technical information, collect them all and take them away, and carefully screen the devils and pseudo-staff, especially engineers, among the captives, gather them together, and wait for me to deal with them." ”

After everything was basically arranged, Lei Jian took the information on the results of the battle collected by each battalion, found a black boulder, sat on it directly, and began to read it seriously.

At this time, Qu Jiaming, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, and Song Tiedan, the leader of the guard squad, approached Lei Jian and asked, "Commander Lei, all units have tasks, so what are we doing now?" Won't we stay here and watch people clean up the battlefield and seize the loot, we have nothing to do with our eyes, right? ”

Lei Jian suddenly remembered the materials of the 'Jingcheng Coal Mine Raid' that he had read before crossing over, and there was a statement on it that an incident that happened in this battle actually shook the people of China and Japan, and it was still hotly discussed decades later.

He stood up and ordered Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan: "Bring the troops and act with me immediately." ”

Lei Jian was carefully checking the summary of the results of the battle of Dongwangshe Xinkuang, and Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan were noisy in front of him, and suddenly reminded him of a thing of historical significance that he was going to do.

He led the reconnaissance platoon and the guard squad to rush to the Dongwangshe New Mine Station as fast as possible, and before he could reach it, he saw that the railway station had been destroyed, and the station had become a piece of bricks and rubble.

Thunder Sword stood in front of the pile of rubble, looking at the destroyed station.

In order to strengthen the management of the station, Kato Kiyotoshi, who has experience in the railway, was transferred from China to the Dongwangshe New Mine Railway Station with his family.

After Kato Kiyoshi came to the station, this little devil used the technology and information he mastered, and soon managed the Dongwangsha station very standardly, and a carload of coal mine resources was continuously transported through this mining station to the iron-making, steel-making, and petrochemical refineries in Japan, and this station was the starting point for the devils to plunder strategic resources.

At 22 o'clock on August 20, the Eighth Route Army launched the most fierce raid on the Dongwangshe New Mine, which was also the first major battle of the 'Hundred Regiments Battle'.

Kato Kiyoto, the stationmaster, shouted to his wife Kumiko Akimoto with a nervous expression: "Miko, the Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked the new mine of Dongwangshe, the firepower is strong, the troops are abundant, and the capture of the new mine is bound to win, my large Japanese Imperial Army garrison troops, in my opinion, is not the opponent of the large army of the Eighth Route Army, the guard troops of the Dongwangshe Railway Station, less than a small group of imperial soldiers, we must immediately evacuate to the nearest turret fortress from here, seek protection, you hurry up and pack up, take Chieko and her sister who is less than eight months old, and evacuate quickly." ”

In less than five minutes, Kato Kiyotoshi's family of four, with the help of the deputy stationmaster, interspersed with a rain of bullets and bullets, fled into the turret near the northeast corner of the Dongwangshe New Mine.

One battalion and one company of the Eighth Route Army's 'One Regiment', under the leadership of the company commander, intensified the shelling of the turret, a few shells fell at the root of the turret, the foundation of the turret was shaken, and the little devils in the turret scurried around in panic, trampling on Kumiko Akimoto who was protecting the child, and a large piece of brick and concrete in the turret was pushed and embraced by the chaotic little devil and smashed on the head of Kumiko Akimoto, and he swallowed his breath at that time.

Kato Kiyotoshi took care of his wife and two children, who had no choice but to die, rushed out of the turret, braved the rain of bullets and rushed into a new coal shaft, just entered the well, was knocked down by the well fire that erupted from it, he howled and turned his head and ran out of the well, and when the fire on his body was extinguished, he had passed out to the ground.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who searched Arai, found that Kato Kiyotoshi still had a breath of air, and immediately carried him to the field emergency medical team for rescue, but he died in less than two hours due to the large area of burns.

Liu Yun, the squad leader of the first company that attacked the enemy's northeast corner turret, heard the cry of a girl coming from the collapsed turret, he wet his shirt, braved the fire inside and rushed into the collapsed turret, first rescued Kato Kiyotoshi's six-year-old eldest daughter Chieko, and then went in to rescue the baby who was less than eight months old, the baby was no longer crying, and was weak and in a coma.
