Lei Jian, who was commanding from the high position of the forward position of the No. 1 Heights, saw through the telescope that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion had already entered the enemy group under the mountains of the No. 1 and No. 2 Heights, and it looked like a tiger breaking into the sheepfold, and the devils who killed them were holding their heads and running away.

Although he did not go to the battlefield this time and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, when he saw the soldiers of the cavalry battalion hunting the enemy on the two battlefields, he couldn't help but shout: "It's enjoyable, the killing is too hearty." ”

After all, Lei Jian is the supreme commander of the independent regiment, he wants to look at the entire battlefield and this battle to break the German-stone railway, and grasp the direction of this army at a critical moment, he can't let the cavalry battalion have a mistake, this is the most elite combat unit of his independent regiment, once it causes unexpected consequences, I am afraid it will be too late to do any remedy,

He ordered Zhou Peng, the combat staff officer beside him: "Immediately send a signal to order the cavalry units that have entered the enemy group at the foot of the No. 1 and No. 2 heights to rush out of the devil's position in the shortest possible time and return to the No. 1 highland immediately." ”

The commander of the cavalry battalion, who received the signal to quickly withdraw from the battle, did not dare to fall in love with the battle, let alone disobey the order to expand the results of the battle without authorization.

Fujita Osa, the commander of the 372nd Wing of the Japanese Army, saw that the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army suddenly rushed to the No. 1 high ground freely, and he howled hysterically: "Baga, my Great Japanese Imperial Army, was actually killed by a battalion of Tubalu and a cavalry team, and the people were turned on their backs, this is the biggest defeat I suffered when I came to the battlefield of China, and it is the shame of the Imperial Army. ”

The chief of staff of the wing, Nakasa Matsumoto, complained: "The Imperial Army Brigade on the Texas side is simply a bunch of bastards, why did the pilots of the Imperial Japanese Army planes airdrop supplies to the position of the Tsubachi Road?" Tubalu received timely replenishment of weapons, ammunition and food, and actually used the air-dropped weapons of our imperial army to enter our position, causing heavy casualties to our army, and the soldiers without bullets were like lambs that were driven away, and died under the fierce fire of Tubalu——。 ”

At this time, Zheng Tie led the machine gun commando team, and had returned to the No. 1 high ground, Lei Jian checked the soldiers who came back, some were covered with blood, and some of the machine guns had no bullets, and the twenty-one soldiers who rushed down the mountain to kill the enemy group, and returned seventeen, which can be described as a heart-wrenching casualty.

Lei Jian looked at Zheng Tie and scolded: "Bastard, you reckless man, why didn't you follow the orders I gave when you entered the enemy group, why did you delay the time and rush to kill the enemy position without authorization?" If it weren't for the cavalry battalion's timely help, would you have come back alive? I want to shoot you. ”

Zheng Tie's face was stabbed with a bloody wound by the devil's bayonet, the flesh of the mountain pass flooded to both sides, and the blood was still flowing down, he knew that this operation, he did not follow the order of the thunder sword, and killed the enemy group as soon as he saw it, but killed madly, like a tiger hunting lambs, and sent the soldiers into danger without forgetfulness.

At this time, he said with tears of regret: "Commander Lei, it is my Zheng Tie who is killing into the enemy group, remembering that in order to block the enemy's westward advance, my battalion of soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the timely reinforcement of the cavalry battalion, I, and the soldiers of the machine gun commando team I led, would probably have been surrounded and hunted by a large number of Japanese troops. ”

"You bastard, do you know you're wrong now? I have repeatedly told you that no matter whether you win or lose on the battlefield, you must keep a clear head, adjust your operational deployment at any time, turn disadvantage into advantage, change passivity into initiative, regard initiative as an adventure, and pay attention to unexpected situations at any time. ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, I Zheng Tie understand, don't worry, in the future battles, I will definitely pay attention to keeping a clear head in the active attack, resolutely carry out the orders of my superiors, and dare not risk the lives of the soldiers again, I was really wrong this time, this is a lesson in blood, it is the awakening that the soldiers sent me with their lives, I ......."

Lei Jian looked at Zheng Tie, whose face was still bleeding, he walked up to him in pain, took out the first aid kit, and personally bandaged Zheng Tie's wounds, and shouted to the field health officer next to him: "Quickly bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers." ”

At this time, the cavalry battalion that broke through the devil's position and rushed up on horseback, as well as the second cavalry company led by Wang Xiaoliang, all gathered on the No. 1 Heights, these good comrades-in-arms and good brothers who gathered at the time of time on the battlefield, couldn't control the excitement in their hearts when they met again, hugged each other, and said the shortest sentence with tears: "Brother, we are still alive, still alive." ”

Lei Jian ordered Zheng Tie to deploy the forward position, he called the commanders of the No. 1 and No. 2 heights together, and said simply and forcefully: "I will immediately lead the cavalry battalion to leave the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, the first battalion is blocking the enemy's 372nd Wing from advancing westward, sticking to the position, blocking the enemy's breakthrough through the high ground with the greatest firepower and strength, slowing down the speed of the Japanese army's westward advance, according to the order of Commander Chen of the East Column, ordering our regiment to block the enemy on the No. 1 and No. 2 heights until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, before withdrawing from the position, the burden on the first battalion is not light. ”

Zheng Tie and deputy battalion commander Zhang Tingli shouted: "Please rest assured, Commander Lei, don't say that the 372nd Wing of the Japanese Army is running out of ammunition and food at this time, even if the weapons and ammunition of the devils are replenished in place, our first battalion will take advantage of the favorable terrain of the high ground, and it will be difficult for the devil wing to block an inch." ”

"Okay, the spirit is commendable, but you don't take it lightly, once the devils are replenished with weapons, ammunition and urgently needed military supplies in a very short period of time, the Japanese army is a militant force armed to the teeth, although your battalion has been replenished with soldiers and weapons and ammunition, but in the face of such a well-trained expeditionary force, I am afraid it will cause you unimaginable war blows."

Lei Jian is not an unpredictable prophet, he believes that the devil commander will definitely not be able to drop the enemy plane in place, but in time to hand over the airdrop materials to the Eighth Route Army that is sticking to the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, resulting in an imbalance in the combat power of the enemy and us, and the devil will suffer heavy casualties under the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, which is absolutely intolerable to the devil commander.

In order to escape responsibility, Wing Captain Fujita will inevitably report the defeat on the battlefield step by step, and even accuse the upper peak of dereliction of duty, which will inevitably prompt the Japanese high-level to quickly replenish the military supplies of the 372nd Wing, and it is very likely that they will send planes to help break through the No. 1 and No. 2 heights guarded by the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Lei Jian continued in an accentuated tone: "Battalion Commander Cao Shangui of the Second Battalion, led the troops of two companies to run to reinforce the Highland Campaign, and the situation on the Highland Battlefield was temporarily reversed at this time, in order to cooperate with the ....... ”

At this moment, an operator handed a telegram to Zhang Ping, who glanced at it and immediately handed it to Lei Jian.

Lei Jian glanced at the telegram, his brows suddenly furrowed, he raised the telegram and said: "Commander Chen of the East Column has sent a telegram order, ordering the Independent Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Mountain Column of the Eighth Route Army to hold the No. 1 and No. 2 heights until ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and order our regiment to destroy the devil's stronghold under the Fengzhuang Railway Station at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and ask why this stronghold has been delayed in attacking, so the entire campaign process of the Deshi Road Attack Battle has been pinned down by Japanese reinforcements. ”

He looked at Zheng Tie and said in an aggravated tone: "According to the order of the East Column, the soldiers of the two companies brought by the commander of the second battalion, Cao Shangui, are about to return to the reinforcements to attack the battle of Fengzhuang Railway Station, and the pressure on your first battalion will be greater. ”

Zheng Tie and Zhang Tingli shouted: "Please rest assured, as long as there is still a soldier alive in my first battalion, I will never ask the enemy to break through the position, and I will definitely protect the new soldiers who have joined the Eighth Route Army." ”

Lei Jian didn't have time to preach too much, he ordered Cao Shangui: "Lead your two companies of the second battalion to take a shortcut and run to Fengzhuang Railway Station, and set off immediately." ”

He watched Cao Shangui turn around and leave, and ordered Li Gang of the cavalry battalion: "Immediately order all the soldiers in the cavalry battalion, hurry up and feed the war horses, and the soldiers replenish food and water, and after fifteen minutes, quickly run to the sixth company left behind by the second battalion, and attack the railway line east of the Fengzhuang Railway Station on Deshi Road." ”

At this time, Zheng Tie and Zhang Ting, the two life and death partners on the battlefield, watched the two companies of the cavalry battalion and the second battalion leave the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, and suddenly felt a heavy burden on their bodies.
