Zhang Ting heard Lei Jian say so seriously, he said with deep feelings: "Commander Lei, you are right, this time stick to the No. 2 high ground to block the enemy, in the face of a large group of Japanese troops repeatedly launched fierce attacks, if more troops are invested, this blocking battle will not be fought so badly, talent is the key to the success or failure of the battle." ”

"Hahaha, I know very deeply, I can rest assured, these questions you raised, Zheng Tie's second and third companies who stuck to the No. 1 position are also facing these difficulties, I killed the enemy group on the high ground, that is, according to the progress of the battle of each unit, timely adjustment of the deployment of the troops, you can rest assured, I will help you solve it soon, however, I want to tell you that the guard squad I led is not here to reinforce your high ground, I will leave in a while, you are busy with you."

Lei Jian watched Zhang Ting leave, looking at the back of this tough guy, at this time his feet were a little weak, and he whispered in a heartache: "War, not only is the test of blood and fire for the soldiers, but also the will of every soldier, they have a determination in their hearts, that is, they will defeat the little devil at the risk of their lives, this is their strong belief." ”

For the safety of the company's position, he decisively ordered the guard squad around him: "You stay in the position for the time being, once the devils attack, you must support a battalion and a company, and strike hard at the attacking devils, and you must not go down the line of fire without an order." ”

Lei Jian took Director Zhang Ping, Qu Jiaming, and Song Tiedan of the Electrical Investigation Department to leave the No. 2 Heights, walked to the west of the mountain, and found a dense tree, Lei Jian said: "Let's use this as a temporary pre-war headquarters, Director Zhang immediately set up a radio station, get in touch with various troops, and understand their fighting situation there." ”

After a short time, Qu Jiaming sent Lei Jian a telegram, and Lei Jian read it, his brows tightened and he didn't say a word.

After a few telegrams were delivered to him, Lei Jian's brows furrowed even tighter, and he raised the telegram in his hand and asked, "Director Zhang, there is nothing wrong with these telegrams, right?" ”

"Report to Captain Lei, I proofread it carefully and carefully, and there will be no mistakes."

Lei Jian leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, and the smoke of war blowing from the top of the mountain, and the battlefield information that came back to the independent regiments and troops fighting on various battlefields at this time was running rapidly in his brain.

Through analysis, synthesis, and interpretation, we will strive not to cause an imbalance in the battlefield situation and disrupt the entire course of the Deshilu Campaign because of temporary subjectivity and carelessness when adjusting the new operational arrangements.

At this time, the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment were holding on to the No. 1 Heights to block the attack of the two brigades of the enemy's 372nd Wing.

As for the political commissar Luo Jinchuan led the third battalion to raid the Fengzhuang railway station and eliminate the enemy in the devil's stronghold below the station, he did not expect that the devil relied on the turrets on the four walls of the stronghold to counterattack the attack of the third battalion with the most powerful firepower, and the stronghold could not be captured for a long time, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

The second battalion led by battalion commander Cao Shangui, east of Fengzhuang Railway Station, led the villagers and regimental logistics personnel to launch a sabotage attack on the strongholds and railways along the railway.

Li Gang's cavalry battalion and Wang Xiaoliang's deputy regimental commander were divided into two routes, east of the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, harassing and pinning down the Japanese troops attacking the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, and cooperating with the first battalion to block the enemy's westward advance through the firepower on the position.

Lei Jian has so many troops, and the entire regiment is all deployed along the railway, and there is no reserve to maneuver, when he thinks of this, he feels that his head is splitting, not only frowning and gritting his teeth, but the beads of sweat on his head are flowing down.

Zhang Ping, who was standing on the side, looked at Lei Jian, the half-grown child leader, and was stumped by something, this kind of tearing expression, Zhang Ping rarely found it on Lei Jian, he not only asked in a distressed whisper: "Captain Lei, Captain Lei?" You're a little uncomfortable, aren't you? ”

Lei Jian didn't say a word, his brows furrowed more and more, until he stretched his brows, then he opened his eyes, stared at Zhang Ping with a pair of bright eyes and asked, "Did you call me just now?" What's the good news? ”

"Not for the time being, I've been standing by your side, do you want to drink some water first?" Zhang Ping handed the only remaining bit of water at the bottom of his kettle to Lei Jian with both hands.

Lei Jian grinned and wanted to smile, but his chapped lips were torn and painful, so he quickly retracted his grinning mouth, raised his hand and pushed away the kettle handed by Zhang Ping and said, "Director Zhang, this little water is a precious thing, let's keep it for the wounded." ”

At this moment, more than a dozen guards beside Lei Jian retreated from the second position, and Lei Jianhuo stood up and roared angrily: "Who told you to withdraw from the position?" Leaving the position without an order is an act of desertion, and you tell me, who ....... ”

Operational staff officer Zhou Peng said aggrievedly: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, it was Zhang Ting, deputy battalion commander of the first battalion, who ordered us to go down the mountain to protect you, we argued a few words, he actually forced us out of the position one by one with a gun, and scolded us, 'If my regiment commander Lei has something to do, I will shoot you one by one, quickly give me down the mountain to protect the regiment commander', Regiment Commander Lei, you said that we ......." ”

Zhou Peng was aggrieved and shed tears, Lei Jian shook his head and smiled: "Okay, I don't blame you for this, I will give you the latest task now, Zhou Peng staff officer led the guard squad to ride nearby to find a water source, as long as it can hold water, it must be used, act immediately, find water, and send it to the soldiers of the No. 1 and No. 2 heights." ”

Zhou Peng led the guard squad, hey, it was said that it was Lei Jian's guard squad, which was actually the fire brigade of the independent regiment, to make it clear, it was the assault team, and it was more vivid when it came out of the soldier's mouth, that is, the head of the Lei regiment led a death squad, where the war was dangerous and tense, this guard squad would appear there.

Not long after, the soldiers of the first battalion of the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, in the fierce battle with the enemy, many times the enemy and our soldiers were in extreme thirst, and the position was glued to the critical moment, the two highlands twice appeared in the war in the adventure water delivery team, the soldiers drank the cool water, suddenly felt refreshed, they shouted: "Commander Lei has brought us water, in order to defeat the little devil, kill——。 ”

The slogan of killing the heavens was sharply increased on the position, and one by one the soldiers used the weapons in their hands to aim at the devils who were pressing forward to the front of the position step by step, and the muzzles of their guns exploded fierce fireballs to kill the Japanese troops who tried to break through the forward positions on the high ground.

Under the supervision of the commander to take the high ground, in order to quench their thirst in time, the Japanese army desperately rushed to the forward position without knowing whether there was really a pond on the other side of the mountain.

The fighters were replenished with water, and took the opportunity to stuff a few mouthfuls of dry food into their mouths, and at this time they were furious, shouting passionate battle cry, and with the greatest firepower, once again repelled the attack of the devils.

Lei Jian got the news of repelling another attack from the enemy, and said excitedly: "On the battlefield, people are certainly an important factor, but the materials that need to be replenished cannot be replenished in time, and no matter how strong a warrior is, he will be defeated." ”

He knew very well in his heart that the battle for the forward positions of the two heights would become more and more brutal, and the battle would become more and more intense, and the first battalion would face a battle to block the westward advance of the Japanese 372nd Wing, and it would appear with a result that he did not want to see.

Lei Jian decisively ordered Zhang Ping: "Immediately issue the latest combat order; ordered the commander of the second battalion, Cao Shangui, to leave a company with the cooperation of the villagers to seize the time to attack the railway line east of the Fengzhuang Railway Station, and ordered him to lead two companies to quickly reinforce the No. 1 and No. 2 positions;

ordered Political Commissar Luo Jinchuan to lead the third battalion to destroy the Japanese stronghold under the Fengzhuang Railway Station with the strongest firepower and in the shortest possible time, and cut off the enemy's transportation line for transporting weapons, ammunition and munitions through this stronghold;

Dong Dayong, director of the Political Department, was ordered to lead the new recruits of the Eighth Route Army to temporarily serve as a transport team for various units in different battlefields, and to send weapons, ammunition, dry food and water to various positions.

He Chuntao, the captain of the regimental medical team, was ordered to lead the field medical team to various battlefields to rescue the wounded and sick on the battlefield. ”

At this moment, Zheng Tie of the No. 1 Heights sent a telegram, requesting a rapid replenishment of weapons and ammunition, if the replenishment is not in place within an hour, the troops will really reach a cruel situation of running out of ammunition and food, and the consequence will be to enter the enemy group and fight to the death with the enemy, until the hand-to-hand combat is heroic.
