Brigade Commander Song of the New Seventh Brigade suddenly asked the commander of the first regiment: "You organized the first attack on the Japanese heights, if you hold on for a while, the effect may be better, and this will cause the Japanese commander to be vulnerable to a single blow, and our New Seventh Brigade will be defeated in one round." But the timing of your withdrawal is a little too early, and I am afraid that it will not have the effect of paralyzing the enemy. ”

The three regiment commanders asked incomprehensibly: "Brigade Commander Song, we should teach the devils a lesson in the first strong attack, don't let the little devils underestimate our new Seventh Brigade, the little devils who fight have a long memory, and it will have a deterrent effect on our breakthrough of the devil's heights, right?" ”

"Childish, do you think the devil commander is so easy to deceive? These old devils have not only received advanced military training and education, but have also participated in more battles and battles than any of us, and have rich battlefield experience, so they are not so easy to fool. ”

At this time, Iizuka Osa, who was sitting in the tent of the 581st Wing, took a sip of the kettle, and said to the chief of staff who was standing: "The little trick of the Eighth Road is really ridiculous, as soon as it comes into contact, it will break down the mountain, this kind of trick that will collapse at the touch of a button is too superficial. ”

"Your Excellency Iizuka, the Dirt Eight Road is cunning and cunning, I guess that the Dirt Eight Road will soon launch the most fierce offensive battle, I think that in this attack of the Soil Eight Road, take light and heavy firepower to focus on suppression, and strive to completely defeat the main force of the Soil Eight Road in this counterattack."

"Yanxi, what the chief of staff said is reasonable, my wing does not have time to start a game of cat and mouse with Tubalu, the brigade commander ordered to quickly eliminate this main force of Tubalu, and my wing will be drawn to the Shijiazhuang area to accept new combat missions."

Both the enemy and us are plotting how to fight this offensive and counteroffensive battle well, and in the end, Brigade Commander Song of the New Seventh Brigade was reluctant to give up the dozen boxes of artillery shells, and he wanted to stay at the time when the troops were most dangerous and most needed, and then pull out the artillery squad, give the enemy a hard blow, and win the final decisive victory.

He ordered the troops, in accordance with the deployment of the first offensive, to immediately launch the most intense offensive battle, and it was necessary to break through the forward position of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army in this offensive, consolidate and advance in depth.

The commander of the first regiment ordered the soldiers to bring enough ammunition and launch an attack on the Devil's Heights with an unprecedented spirit of swearing to kill the enemy, so as to open a passage for the New Seventh Brigade to continue its westward advance.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the New 7th Brigade suddenly took action and rushed to the high ground at the fastest running speed to launch a strong attack on the Japanese troops holding the high ground.

The commander of the Japanese front-line position, when he found that the Eighth Route Army was rushing up like crazy, he waved his command knife, pointed at the Eighth Route Army troops running towards the high ground and shouted: "The warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Eighth Route is like a flock of lambs, and our way to treat the lambs is to wave the butcher's knife and kill the ——。 ”

The little devils on the high ground, looking at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who ran up, with cannibalistic greedy eyes in their eyes, began to carry out fire strikes with their guns.

The commander of the regiment shouted to the soldiers around him: "Increase the fire, cover the assault company to rush up, and the sharpshooter aims at the machine gunner in the position of the highland devils, knock him out for me." ”

Sitting in the tent, Iizuka Daisa, heard the fierce gunfire from the forward position on the high ground, he stood up with his mouth open, walked out of the tent, and walked quickly to the front of the high ground under the escort of the chief of staff and several officers.

Iizuka Daisa held a telescope and saw the troops of the Eighth Route Army under the high ground, bravely launching a large-scale attack, he frowned and said to the chief of staff beside him: "The purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to take down our forward position in one fell swoop, break through to the west, and chase the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Order the troops to counterattack with the heaviest light and heavy firepower, and strive to destroy the main force of the Tubalu attacking force after the end of this battle. ”

All the light and heavy weapons of the Japanese troops on the high ground launched the most intense artillery bombardment and light and heavy machine gun strafing against the 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment that were attacking on both flanks, and the dense artillery fire and raining bullets poured down on the attacking Eighth Route Army.

The soldiers of the attacking Eighth Route Army were hit by the enemy's most fierce firepower, and the shells roared and fell into the position, and the dust and mud and stones raised by the explosion, mixed with shrapnel, swept towards the attacking soldiers, where there was an explosion, a piece fell, the scene was tragic, the casualties of the soldiers increased sharply, and the attacking troops continued to launch a fire attack under the heavy firepower.

The captain of the 581st Wing Iizuka Wing looked at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were bravely attacking with a telescope, and sighed sincerely: "The soldiers of the Eighth Route of the Earth are indeed very brave, and I admire such a unit very much, but it is irresponsible for life to work so hard, and he ordered the forward position to be lightly armed with light and heavy weapons, give full play to the maximum firepower, and wipe out the attacking Eighth Route troops." ”

The commander of the regiment led the assault company, braving the enemy's artillery fire and the tongue of fire of light and heavy weapons, rushing to the front, he saw the soldiers around him keep falling, the commander of the regiment picked up the machine gun next to a soldier who fell in a pool of blood, held it in his arms and pulled the trigger, shouted and continued to rush to the forward position of the devil.

Suddenly, the commander of the regiment was shot in the chest, fell backwards unsteadily, and was snatched into the arms of the two soldiers beside him, and the two desperately carried the commander of the regiment who was shot and withdrew from the battle.

When the deputy regiment commander saw that the regiment commander was injured, he roared angrily: "The soldiers of the first regiment, for the sake of victory, in order to break through the forward position of the devils, rush——。 ”

'Boom, boom, boom, ......boom', a row of shells fell on the attacking Eighth Route Army team and exploded, a group of soldiers fell in a pool of blood, the devil's light and heavy machine guns spit out dense bullets, sweeping towards the attacking Eighth Route Army soldiers, the front fell, and the soldiers behind rushed up.

In the binoculars, Brigade Commander Song of the New Seventh Brigade saw the soldiers who were charging the enemy, falling in batches under the explosion of the devil's shells and the muzzle of the gun, he bit his lower lip fiercely, his lip was bitten, and the blood was flowing down drop by drop, and Brigade Commander Song seemed to be unaware.

Chief of Staff Liu, who was beside him, saw that Brigade Commander Song's lips were bleeding, he touched it lightly and said, "Brigade Commander Song, your lips have been bitten, the battle situation is very unfavorable to us at this time, you can see if you ...... the third regiment." ”

"No, no, no, the third regiment is the last hole card of the new Seventh Brigade, once this reserve is put into the battlefield, the pursuing Japanese army suddenly appears behind us, and it will be too late to return to reinforcements at that time."

At this time, the commander of the third regiment ran to Brigade Commander Song and saluted a quick report: "Report to Brigade Commander Song, the cadres and soldiers of the third regiment, seeing the attack on the Devil's Heights, the first regiment and the second regiment are fighting so fiercely, and ask that our third regiment be transferred, and we will definitely break through the high ground occupied by the Japanese army in one go, brigade commander, quickly transfer our third regiment." ”

"Third Regiment Leader, you calm down for me, do you think I left your three regiments to look good? I'm going to use you in the most dangerous moment of the New Seventh Brigade, once your three regiments are also gone, will my New Seventh Brigade still exist? Immediately return to the troops, do the work of a warrior, and be ready to rush to the most dangerous battlefields at any time. ”

Brigade Commander Song didn't want to put the Third Regiment into battle, but he was always worried in his heart, and he always felt that there would be a more ferocious Japanese army behind, which should be moving rapidly, and it would soon cut off the rear road of his new Seventh Brigade.

At this time, the 576th Wing of the 9th Brigade of the 180th Division, which was transferred by the Japanese army in Fudong County, was reinforcing Fudong County at the fastest speed, and it was still more than 20 kilometers away from Fudong City.

The driver of the first truck of the truck team who was moving forward suddenly found that the road in front of him was blocked by something, and the devil driver braked urgently and said to the devil squad leader next to him: "Your Excellency, the road in front has been blocked by heavy objects, and you can only continue to move forward after clearing it." ”

The leader of the devil squad jumped out of the truck and shouted to the devils in the car: "Come down, move all the things blocking the road in front of you, quickly." ”

At this time, the company commander Song Chun, who was hiding on both sides of the highway and was newly organized into an independent regiment, said to the county guerrilla commander beside him: "Brother, the little devil's truck was blocked, and the troops were ordered to blow up the devil's car with maximum firepower. ”

Just when the little devil jumped out of the truck, ran to the front, and moved the big rock and tree trunk blocked in the middle of the road, he suddenly threw out grenades and grenades like raindrops from both sides of the road.

Company Commander Song ordered the troops to concentrate their firepower to blow up the devil's car, and in an explosion, several trucks in front burst into flames, and the fire burned more and more fiercely, and the little devils in the vicinity cried wolf and fled in all directions.

The captain of the Fudong County Squadron of the Eighth Route Army, seeing that he had blown up several devil trucks and eliminated the little devils in the previous cars, shouted excitedly: "Brothers of the county squadron, the little devils are now cowardly, rush ......." ”
