As the main force, the 1st Battalion of the '1st Regiment' was deployed in the forefront of the zigzag position, and at this time it was attacked by the most fierce fire of the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Wang Xiaoliang ordered to the correspondent Xiao Li: "Pass my order, order the second battalion on the left flank, covertly and quickly reinforce the strength of a company to the position of the first battalion, and the speed should be fast." ”

At the critical moment when the forward position of the first battalion was about to be broken through, the fourth company sent reinforcements by the second battalion on the left flank quickly entered the position, increased its firepower to block it, and defeated the devils who attacked the forward position.

At this time, the 11th Brigade of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army, under the supervision of Captain Iizuka, was rapidly assembling the 7th Brigade on the western slope of Laoye Mountain, and it would not take half an hour to assemble in place.

Once the two Japanese brigades launched a strong attack on the 'One Regiment', the position of the first battalion would inevitably be lost in a very short time without the firepower of the second and third battalions on the left and right flanks.

Lei Jian, standing on the canopy, holding a telescope, from time to time to observe the battlefield movements of the enemy and our troops, he found that the enemy's 11th Brigade of Japanese troops will soon meet with the Seventh Brigade, he decisively ordered Zhang Ping: "Order Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Xiaoliang, once the enemy's two brigades are assembled, attack the main position with the most fierce firepower, and order the 'One Regiment' to block at all costs, and never let the devils break through the forward position of the first battalion." ”

Wang Xiaoliang received the order, holding a telescope, always paying attention to the devil brigade that was quickly gathering here from the southeast, and he ordered the communicator: "Order the second and third battalions on the left and right flanks to prepare for battle, and once they engage the enemy, they must use the fiercest firepower to crush the attacking enemy." ”

Iizuka Osa led the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and finally joined up with the 7th Brigade through the difficult risk of a sneak attack by guns and artillery all the way in the Eighth Route Army.

The Captain of the Seventh Brigade, Muto Nobuyoshi Nakasa, reported: "Report to Your Excellency Osa, the Eighth Route Army troops firmly held on the east bank of the Tiechuan River are probably a reinforced battalion, and if the two Great Japanese Imperial Army brigades concentrate all their efforts to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely break through within half an hour." ”

Iizuka Osa held a telescope and glanced at the position of the Eighth Route Army's 'One Regiment', and found that on both flanks of the main position, there were mounds of earth bulging, which formed a zigzag shape with the forward position in a regular manner.

He glanced at it a few times and suddenly asked, "Muto-kun, do you think that the frontal position of the Tsuchibachi Road has only one reinforced battalion?" So if you take a closer look, will the two flanks of the frontal position of the Eighth Road be deployed to defend the hidden troops, and they will not be exposed at this time, and when our Imperial Japanese Army suddenly launches a general attack, and then we are caught off guard, don't you see it? ”

Captain Muto checked repeatedly with a telescope, but did not find that on the two flanks of the front position of the Eighth Route Army, there were large units of the Eighth Route Army that cooperated, he shook his head and said: "Iizuka Daisa, I didn't see it, it may be your ......." ”

The chief of staff of the wing, Ken Sato, put down the binoculars, pointed to the left and right flanks of the front Eighth Route Army position, and said to Nakamura Masao: "Muto-kun, you should find the new soil on both wings of the front position of the Eighth Route Army, and in the trenches behind these new soils, the main force of the Eighth Route Army should be hidden. ”

"Yes, Muto-kun, fight against the cunning Shina Doll Thunder Sword Commander, and move this place more."

Iizuka Osa pointed to his head and then continued to admonish: "Every commander of the Imperial Japanese Army, no matter how tense the battle is on the battlefield, must clearly understand the opponent's troop deployment, especially the hidden military force, once careless, in the implementation of the attack, retreat and hold, will definitely be taken by the enemy's surprise and the fiercest firepower, do you understand?" ”

"Iizuka Daisa's admonition is very reasonable, and my immediate fire is tempting." Muto Nobuyoshi was admonished by Iizuka Osa, and was softly stimulated by the chief of staff, and he shouted to a squadron leader beside him with a smile on his face: "Your squadron, attack from the flanks with maximum firepower, quickly." ”

The devil squadron leader didn't touch the situation, looking at the left flank of the frontal battlefield of the Eighth Route Army, there were no Eighth Route troops, he didn't dare to disobey the order, led a squadron of little devils, and suddenly launched an attack on the left flank.

Wang Xiaoliang found that from the attacking devil brigade, a squadron of devils was divided, and pounced on the position of the second battalion on the left flank, and he alertly ordered the first battalion to draw out a company and eliminate this devil squadron with the greatest firepower.

The second battalion, which was hidden in the trenches on the left flank, saw a squadron of devils rushing towards their position, and he was just about to give an order to enter the position of preparation, when he suddenly saw the frontal forward position, divided a part of his firepower, and blocked a squadron of devils from rushing to the position of the second battalion, he decisively ordered: "Continue to hide, no one shall be exposed without an order." ”

A squadron of devils tentatively attacked the left flank position of the 'only regiment' of the Eighth Route Army, but was hit back by the fire of a company of the Eighth Route Army in the frontal position.

Captain Muto Nobuyoshi said to Chief of Staff Ken Sato arrogantly in his heart: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you have seen that the tentative attack did not find the left flank of the frontal position of the Eighth Route Army at all, and there were hidden troops, we can completely concentrate the forces of the two brigades and launch the most fierce attack on the frontal position of the Eighth Route Army, and we will definitely break through the position of the Eighth Route Army and destroy this strange force." ”

Although Iizuka Osa felt that Captain Muto did not directly contradict him between his words, he was very uncomfortable with the sarcasm of the chief of staff, and he ordered Muto Nobuyoshi and the 11th Brigade Captain Nakamura Masao: "Order your two brigades, concentrate superior forces, and must attack in the first place, break through the position of the Eighth Route Army, and eliminate the 'only regiment' of the commander of the Shina Doll." ”

The two captains of the 581st Wing glanced at each other, redeployed the formation of the attacking troops, and at the same time brandished their command knives and shouted: "The frontal position of the Tsubalu in front of the target will launch a general attack, and the other two troops will outflank from the left and right flanks——。 ”

A large number of devils swarmed to the forward position, Wang Xiaoliang raised his gun and shouted: "All the soldiers of the 'One Regiment' will attack in an all-round way and repel the most crazy attack of the devils with the most fierce firepower." ”

When the devils launched a general attack on the 'One Regiment' position from the front and on both flanks, the soldiers of the second and third battalions hidden on the left and right flanks could not hold back for a long time, and under the order of the battalion commander, they concentrated the most intense firepower to block the attack of the devils.

The enemy, who was unprepared on the left and right flanks, was mainly focused on outflanking the frontal position of the first battalion, and was suddenly hit by powerful firepower, and before he could turn his guns to counterattack, he was swept away.

The first general attack launched by the devils after they were assembled, and under the strong fire counterattack of the three main battalions of the 'One Regiment', they quickly fled in defeat.

Captain Muto Nobuyoshi looked at the soldiers who fled back from the defeat, he lowered his head and said: "Iizuka Daisa, I, Muto Nobuyoshi, was careless for a while, did not find out the military deployment of the Dirt Eight Road, and instigated a large army to take a general attack, resulting in a fiasco, I ask for ......." ”

"Muto-kun, the Imperial Army of Great Japan is an invincible army, the most loyal army of His Majesty the Emperor, and the pillar force of the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Iizuka Osa looked at the Imperial soldiers who had returned from the rout, and angrily ordered the troops to regroup, divide into frontal assaults, and cooperate with the two wings of the operational deployment, and once again launched a new round of general attack on the frontal and flank positions of the Eighth Route Army's 'Only Regiment'.

The 581st Wing of the Japanese Army, with the superior strength of two brigades, launched three consecutive attacks on the position on the east bank of the Tiechuan River of the Eighth Route Army, but they were all blocked and fled back, and there were a large number of casualties on both sides of the enemy.

The commander of the first battalion, Zhang Ting, had bandages on his arms, looked at Wang Xiaoliang's head and said: "Deputy Commander Wang, your head is injured, quickly retreat to the west bank of the Tiechuan River and hurry up to deal with the wound, the enemy will immediately launch a more fierce attack." ”

"No, old man, you have also seen that the soldiers in the main position of the 'One Regiment' suffered heavy casualties, and the seriously wounded did not get out of the line of fire, how could I, Wang Xiaoliang, be a deserter? Staff Officer Yuan, pass on my orders, and order the soldiers who are still alive in the position, as long as they still have a breath, they will set me on the position to kill devils. ”
