The little devil who fled down the mountain in rout had not yet taken a breath, and was suddenly hit by intensive fire on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, and the unlucky devil soldier was shot and fell to the ground before he could find a clue.

The Japanese troops of the enemy's 7th and 16th brigades did not expect to break through the important positions of the Eighth Route Army in Lao Ye Mountain, and clearly wiped out the eight routes of the mountain peaks, and in the end there were less than ten soldiers of the Eighth Route Army left.

The two captains of the devil were puzzled, even if less than ten soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were still alive, how could so many troops of the Eighth Route Army emerge in one fell swoop? At this time, the enemy was attacked up and down, and the firepower was extremely fierce, and there was no time to deploy a counterattack position, so he watched the imperial troops around him fall in the flames of battle one by one.

Iizuka Daisa, who was 1,500 meters away from here, saw his two brigades with binoculars, and at the same time they were attacked by two powerful Eighth Route Armies on the mountain and on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, and he scolded hysterically: "Bastard, this doll commander of the Eighth Route Army is simply a devil." ”

He ordered Nakamura Nakasa of the 11th Brigade: "Order the troops to advance forward one thousand meters quickly, mobilize all artillery and mortar units, and carry out the most intense artillery bombardment on the positions of the Eighth Route Army halfway up the mountain and on the east bank of the Tiechuan River." ”

The commander of the 11th Brigade, Nakamura Masao Nakasa, ordered an armored car that could still move in front of him to shell the Eighth Route Army halfway up the mountain, and ordered to move forward quickly.

The 11th Brigade advanced less than 50 meters when it suddenly exploded again in the middle of the truck convoy, paralyzing five or six trucks at that time.

The little devil lying in the ditch nervously looked around, saw Luxi's green gauze tent, suspected that there was a large number of Eighth Route Army hidden inside, and under the order of the commander, he carried out the most fierce fire.

A burst of furious fire probed without drawing a single bullet from the green gauze tent to fight back. The devil commander shouted, "Get in the car, get in the car quickly." ”

The little devil came out of the ditch in a panic, jumped and climbed onto the truck, just when the Japanese army was panicking, Fang Liqiang, who was hidden in the green gauze tent in Luxi, ordered the soldiers of the assault company beside him: "Concentrate firepower to destroy the devil truck, and don't let go of the little devil who can shoot with firepower." ”

The devils who were scrambling to climb up the car were suddenly hit by the fire that came out of the green gauze tent, some rushed into the carriage, some were hit by bullets and fell down before they had time to climb into the carriage, and some were crowded and climbed up the car, and were swept down by the sudden fire.

The devil commander was attacked several times in a row, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the little devils were terrified, always vigilant, for fear of being attacked again.

Fang Liqiang commanded the assault company to carry out explosions and fire strikes on the devils on Hengshi Road, and the devils could not find the north, and wanted to counterattack and retaliate.

The little devil was irritable by the firepower, and without the commander's counterattack order, he went into the ditch to launch a fierce fire counterattack on the green gauze tent, but after a counterattack for more than ten minutes, it seemed that the sneak attack troops had never been hidden in the green gauze tent, and they quietly lost their resistance, and the Japanese soldiers panicked.

The chief of staff of the 581st Wing, Ken Sato, couldn't bear it and said to the captain of the Iizuka Wing: "Iizuka Osa, it seems that the truck fleet of my Imperial Japanese Army has become the main target of the Tubalu attack, my suggestion, order the 11th Brigade to abandon the car and run to reinforce the temporary position of the Imperial Army under the Lao Ye Mountain, as long as you stick to the position, launch a counterattack with superior forces, and use the power of artillery and mortars, you will definitely eliminate the Tubalu that blocks my westward reinforcement on Zhengtai Road, please give an order quickly." ”

Iizuka Osa was in a very bad mood at this time, this kind of passive battle, after the defeat of Wuqiang Chengdong Highlands, the second time by the fire of the Eighth Route Army's 'only regiment', not only suffered heavy casualties, but more importantly, the cunning commander of this unit, when commanding the troops to fight, there was no way to follow, just broke a little, immediately dug a trap for the other party, and fell into it.

He nodded and ordered: "Order the Eleventh Brigade, abandon the car and run for reinforcements, and in the process of advancing, no matter what happens, don't take it into account, kill it as always, quickly rendezvous with the Seventh and Sixteenth Brigades, concentrate troops and firepower, and be sure to destroy the blocking Tubalu." ”

The little devil who has been sneak attacked at this time has become a frightened bird, running along the Hengshi Road with a gun, advancing less than 30 meters, the little devil in front stepped on the minefield laid by the Eighth Route Army's 'only regiment', and exploded one after another, blowing up the little devil in it, the bones of the devil who were not dead, the devil who broke his arm and leg and did not die, the ghost who was in unbearable pain cried wolf, and the living devil fled in all directions, and stepped into the minefield, causing an explosion again.

Lei Jian ordered the fourth battalion and the assault company to extend along the Hengshi Road, until they were close to the place where the devil truck team stayed not far away, and lay a minefield, when the cavalry battalion caught up, the cavalry battalion commander Ma Ming, a veteran of laying mines back then, carefully inspected and re-armed, and the power of the minefield explosion became even more powerful.

At a distance of two or three thousand meters, this kind of false minefield is laid in a false way, and the little devils who blow it up are like lost dogs, and they are terrified all day long, and every time they take a step forward, they are terrified for fear of touching the minefield.

The commander of the 11th Brigade received the order to continue to move forward regardless of everything, and to round with the two brigades in front, and the devils in front stepped on the minefield, and the cunning Captain Nakamura Masao ordered the troops to rush down the Hengshi Road and continue to advance along the ditch on both sides.

The road ditch is also not safe, the battalion commander Ma Ming, a master of laying minefields, set up a chain of minefields in the road ditch, stepped on the detonating device in front of him, and exploded three or four meters behind him.

At this time, Lei Jian led the reconnaissance platoon and the guard squad to quickly rush to the southern slope of Lao Ye Mountain, and when he was approaching the artillery and mortar positions on the southern slope of the devil, he ordered the soldiers of the army to dismount and hide into the green gauze tent.

Approaching the artillery position of the Japanese 581st Wing, Lei Jian found that there was a squadron of little devils guarding the periphery of the position, he shook his head and sighed: "It seems that this calculation was wrong, this Japanese commander is very cunning, and he strictly defends the artillery position, and wants to suddenly sneak attack and blow up the devil's powerful artillery, it seems that there is no way." ”

Lei Jian is such a decisive commander, he will never hesitate to let go of the battle, he is not seventy or eighty percent sure of winning, he will never lead the soldiers to risk losing their lives.

This naughty guy knows that he can't destroy the devil's artillery position, and since he came, he can't just go back for nothing.

He ordered the guards squad soldiers beside him: "Move closer, have you found the boxes piled up in front of the devil's artillery position?" Take out everyone's bomb-throwing ability and skills, and after a while, close to the optimal bombing distance, each person will throw all the grenades they carry into the position of the devil's shell box, and strive to detonate the devil's shell. ”

Lei Jian led the soldiers of the guard squad, crawling forward and advancing more than ten meters, only more than thirty meters away from the devil's shell box, although this distance is a bit far, but once you continue to move forward, it is easy to expose the target without concealment.

He ordered several bomb throwers around him: "Be bold and careful, don't panic in your heart, aim at the devil's shell box, throw the grenade fiercely, whether it can be detonated or not, and then throw it again." ”

He ordered the other four fighters who were worse at throwing bombs: "Your task is to throw the grenade into the place where the devils are crowded in front of you at the same time, no matter who you are, I can only give you two minutes to finish throwing the grenade around you, and immediately withdraw it safely with me." ”

Lei Jian suddenly shouted, "Carry out the bombing." ”

Seventeen guards squad soldiers, almost at the same time threw out seventeen grenades, when the grenade just got out of their hands, immediately picked up one and quickly threw out, five grenades per person, basically thrown out in five batches, when the first explosion kicked off the dust, stones and shrapnel have not fallen, followed by four grenades, one by one fell on the set target position, causing a series of explosions.

The grenade thrown by the guard squad exploded in the place where the devils were stacked and the shells were stacked, and the little devils were so dizzy that when the smoke from the explosion cleared, the figure who threw the grenade could no longer be found.

The soldier who was responsible for throwing the bomb and detonating the shell threw the grenade to the crowded place of the shell box, but the grenade detonation time was different, and it fell around the shell box, some bounced up and exploded in the air, and some exploded before it fell.

One or two of them happened to land on the shell box, but the explosion did not detonate the shell box, and a grenade quickly greeted, but after working in vain for a while, it failed to destroy the shell stacking place of the devil.
