Chapter 136: The Price of Blood

The commander of the third regiment Song was unconvinced, and just wanted to refute it, but was stared at fiercely by Lei Jian, he had to take the soldiers to carry out the order of this half-haired child, and quickly retreated fifty meters.

Niu Dali was not as active as the third regiment commander, retreating slowly with the soldiers, and muttered from time to time: "Lei boy, are you playing to death stupid boy?" After a while, I rushed up, and I had to withdraw before I fired a few shots, which was special. ”

Before Niu Dali could finish his words, he suddenly heard a heavy loud sound of 'bang, bang' from the bottom of the mountain, and one shell after another flew towards the Jiming Mountain position with a piercing whistling sound.

Niu Dali heard the sound of the mountain down, and the veteran shouted in fright: "Retreat, the devil has opened fire." ”

'Boom, boom', the shells fell like from the sky, falling on the position and covering the entire position, and the dust, stones, and broken shrapnel kicked up by the explosion did not fall in one wave, and another wave rose into the air.

The soldiers who were running behind were drowned in the smoke of the shells, and the ox who rushed in front turned around vigorously and cried: "Come out quickly, rush out for me." ”

Lei Jian turned his head, grabbed the cow violently and shouted: "Malegobi, your grandma, now you are crying, why don't you carry out the order?" It's the best time for you to retreat and bury the soldiers under enemy fire, I really want to shoot you down, so retreat for me. ”

The troops retreated to a distance of fifty meters from the main position, and the soldiers looked back at the position of the peak of Jiming Mountain, which had been drowned in smoke and flames by artillery fire.

The head of the third regiment Song looked at Lei Jianhu's face, and he wanted to go up and say a few words, but he didn't move.

Niu Dali squatted on the ground, pounded the sides of his head with both hands, and cried hoarsely: "I, Niu Dali, am a pig, why don't you resolutely carry out the order of Deputy Commander Lei?" The soldiers were drowned by artillery fire, it was all the sin of my Niu Dali, I deserved to die, I deserved to die. ”

Wang Xiaoliang walked to Niu Dali's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Niu, don't be like this, Deputy Head Lei is also very uncomfortable, we sometimes don't understand this bastard's plan, who calls us stupid?" In the future, it is enough to resolutely carry out his orders. ”

Lei Jian didn't want to hurt Niu Dali's determination to fight against the enemy, and shouted loudly: "Niu Dali, stand up like a man, you are a soldier, not a child who is still peeing his pants, just change it if you know your mistakes, and resolutely carry out the order in the future." ”

He continued to say to the battalion and company commanders beside him, including the commanders of the three regiments: "We must remember that we are commanders, and we should not gamble with the lives and blood of soldiers on the battlefield, this is war, and every command mistake will bring irreparable losses to the troops." ”

Lei Jian continued: "Why do you say that an order is a stick? This shows that the orders issued by the higher authorities are formulated after careful study, and any subordinate commander may not understand at the time, have misunderstandings, have grievances, or even scold his mother, but once the order is issued, it must be firmly carried out on the battlefield. ”

Suddenly, Lei Jian shouted: "It's not good, the enemy's artillery fire has weakened, the little devils have begun to organize the attack again, and the two battalions of the first battalion and the third regiment immediately entered the first line of defense, and one battalion of the third regiment was led by the commander of the third regiment." Immediately retreat to Yajiaogu, which is two miles behind, and build fortifications in Yajiaogu, preparing to cover the retreat of the front-line troops and block the attacking little devils. ”

Lei Jian led a platoon to reinforce the position held by Li Gang on the right flank of Jiming Mountain, and before he could get close, he heard fierce gunfire from the front.

Li Gang's platoon pinned down the enemy from the flank, and there was a squadron of little devils rushing up at the front of his position, seeing that the position was about to be broken through, Lei Jian arrived in time with a platoon of soldiers, and under the fire attack, temporarily blocked the devil's attack.

The captain of the Tokugawa Wing sent a brigade to make a tentative attack, and at the beginning the attack went smoothly, he laughed arrogantly with his command knife in his hand: "Roaring west, the position of the Tuba Road is less than the strength of a company, as long as the Jiming Mountain is occupied, the passage of the Tuba Road to the deep mountains will be blocked, and the Imperial Japanese Army will divide and surround the Tuba Road on the plain, and wipe them out." ”

With the change of the war, the position of the Eighth Route Army in Jiming Mountain increased the intensity of firepower again and again, and the arrogant and arrogant devil brigade, like a frog boiled in warm water, was gradually pressurized, and finally fled to the bottom of the mountain after a crushing defeat.

The Tokugawa Captain roared angrily: "The cunning Dirt Eight Road, such a deployment of troops, is really clever, I will kill them all." ”

He grabbed the temporary military phone on the battlefield: "Oh, oh, Hashimoto Osa, please immediately order the shelling of Jiming Mountain, you must bombard Jiming Mountain, the more fierce the artillery fire, the better, please." ”

With the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, the Tokugawa Wing Commander said with a sneer: "The Tubalu has been wiped out by artillery fire, and all troops are ordered to quickly occupy Jiming Mountain." ”

The little devils stopped bombarding with the artillery fire, and the Japanese troops of the entire Tokugawa Wing were like a swarm of locusts, swarming towards Jiming Mountain, in their eyes, Jiming Mountain had become an open space without dirt and eight roads, and it was impossible to be blocked by fire.

Just as the little devil was about to approach the front of the position, Niu Dali, in order to avenge the soldiers who died under the enemy's fire, shouted angrily: "Hit me hard, you must beat the little devil with his head and running away." ”

Cannonball. The grenade fell like a raindrop into the enemy group, exploding in the enemy group, and the light and heavy machine guns spit angry tongues of fire, sweeping towards the small devils who were gathered in the pile, and the little devils who were hit by the sudden and fierce fire, the initial shout, turned into a ghost crying wolf howl.

The number of troops attacking the enemy far exceeded that of the Eighth Route Army on the position, and it was not long before the enemy immediately reorganized an even more frantic attack.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were sticking to Jiming Mountain, thanks to the two truckloads of weapons and ammunition that they rushed back from Songzhuang, which was occupied by the enemy, were sufficient at this time to block the enemy's attack several times, which could be regarded as difficult but not a rout.

Under the heavy fire, the bullets carried by the little devil ran out and had to flee down the mountain.

Lei Jian realized that the enemy was about to carry out another artillery strike, and he issued an order to the soldiers standing in the trees in time, ordering the troops in the forward position to immediately retreat fifty meters.

After receiving the order to retreat, Niu vigorously jumped up and shouted: "All the troops must retreat fifty meters as fast as possible, and those who dare to slack off will be killed." ”

The troops had the first bloody lesson, and the soldiers received the order, one by one, they retreated backwards to the fast-running goats, regardless of anything, and this kind of retreat speed was only the most appropriate to use 'fleeing', because only by executing orders on the battlefield can we effectively preserve our strength and defeat the enemy.

The second round of Japanese artillery bombardment of Jiming Mountain began, under the powerful artillery bombardment, the entire Jiming Mountain, as if repeatedly plowed, the hard mountain stones, were blown into slag by artillery fire, and the position fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army had no traces.

Lei Jian found that the cunning little devil began to move towards Jiming Mountain under the cover of artillery fire, once the enemy's artillery fire suddenly stopped, the retreating Eighth Route Army troops could not return to the forward position in time, Jiming Mountain would definitely be lost.

He made a few gestures to the heralds on the trees, ordering the retreating troops to be ready to rush to the forward position at any time, once the enemy occupies it one step slower, a life-and-death positional battle will occur tragically.

The enemy's artillery fire lasted less than ten minutes, and the bombardment of Jiming Mountain was immediately stopped, and the little devils were like locusts surging, and they quickly launched an attack on the top of the mountain.

Lei Jian didn't see Niu Dali's first battalion and the two battalions of the third regiment, so he rushed to the first line of defense on the battlefield in time, and nervously ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "Increase firepower, block the enemy from the flank, and contain the enemy's speed of attacking Jiming Mountain." ”

The little devil was again hit by flank fire, and the enemy approaching the flank hurriedly lay down and returned fire.

A large number of little devils didn't pay attention to the flank containment of Lei Jian's company at all, but attacked the top of the mountain even more frantically.

Seeing that the little devil was about to rush to the front of the first line of defense on the top of the hill of the Eighth Route Army, he suddenly fired more than a dozen shells in a row from behind the defense line, landing at the front of the position, and the shell explosion overturned the little devil who rushed up.

Niu Dali, under the cover of mortars, led the soldiers to break into the position, and before he had time to repair the fortifications, he lay on the ground and quickly opened fire on the attacking little devils.

The attacking enemy was hit by frontal and flank fire, and did not suppress the offensive posture of the devils, but only slowed down the pace of advance to the top of the hill.
