I am really grateful to the book friend 1946949230 and 1441693618 for giving away valuable monthly passes again for their support, and the nine-tailed cat will add more thanks.

Li Gang then ordered: "Order Deputy Commander Zhang Ting to lead the newly formed first battalion in front of the main position to strike at the frontal enemy attacking frontally, and the deputy commander of the fifth regiment to lead the newly formed second battalion and assist the first battalion to hold the frontal position."

The four battalions of the only regiment were ordered to be in reserve, to sweep on both flanks of the main position, and to replenish wherever there was a crisis. ”

Li Gang resolutely waved his hand and shouted: "The commanders of all units will immediately enter the position, and we must block the enemy until half past two in the afternoon, once the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region orders us to continue to hold our positions, cover the breakthrough of the organs of the Chengnanzhuang Military Region and the remaining troops, and the safe transfer of the Fuping City Field Hospital, we must do everything to stick to the front line of the military city and never retreat, do you understand?" ”

"Understood."

"Okay, after receiving the new task, the commanders of the various units will immediately enter the position and strike hard at the attacking little devils."

Li Gang looked at the regiment and battalion commanders who were at the meeting, replied with a solemn face, and left quickly with neat and vigorous spirits, and ran to the command position, and said to Wang Yushu, who had just been promoted to director of the Electric Investigation Department: "Contact Deputy Regiment Commander Ma Ming immediately and ask them where they are now." ”

In less than five minutes, Deputy Regiment Commander Ma Ming, who led three special companies and cavalry battalions to intercept and contain the two Japanese brigades on the west hill of the military city, sent a telegram back: The cavalry battalion had almost arrived at the Beishan position, the assault company and the reconnaissance company had withdrawn from the battle, and the special service company was bitten by the enemy when it withdrew from the position, and was trying to find a way to get rid of the enemy.

Li Gang ordered Ma Ming to lead the cavalry battalion to reach Beishan Mountain as quickly as possible, hide the war horses, and lead the soldiers to be the last reserve in the forward position of Beishan, ready to reinforce at any time.

He also ordered to Chief of Staff Zhou Peng: "You lead a squad of soldiers to move to the west mountain of the military city in a covert manner, and take the retreating spy company, assault company, and reconnaissance company here, and immediately bring them here, waiting for new orders." ”

Li Gang re-deployed troops and firepower for the Beishan position he had defended, and the commanders of all units had already led their troops to launch a fierce blocking battle with the enemy in the designated positions.

At this critical moment when the battlefield situation was very critical, Li Gang remembered the commander of Lei Jian, if he was there, facing an enemy several times larger than me, he would have to complete the blocking task assigned by his superiors at the appointed time, how would Lei Jian command according to the battlefield situation?

Li Gang not only looked up at the sky and shouted: "Commander Lei, where are you——, I, Li Gang, and the soldiers of the only regiment miss you——。 ”

The guards and soldiers around him and the head of the regimental organ, seeing Li Gang, the regiment commander who was ordered in danger, had such a big emotional fluctuation, and they couldn't help shedding tears one by one, missing their Thunder Sword Regiment Commander.

Li Gang suddenly rushed down the back mountain, and when he was about to approach the only artillery company, he shouted uncontrollably: "Artillery company commander Zhao Sicong, come to me quickly." ”

Zhao Sicong since the artillery company was settled in the Beishan position 80 meters behind the mountain, heard the fierce gunfire from the position from time to time, more than ten hours passed, his artillery company seemed to be forgotten by the commander, no one came to take care of them, at this time was sitting on the ground complaining, suddenly heard someone shouting to him, Zhao Sicong Huo stood up.

He heard the sound and looked over, and saw Li Gang, the new commander of the only regiment, rushing over from the mountain peak position, and under the reflection of the sun hanging in the west, he saw that Li Gang's bronzed face was full of blood and gunsmoke, Zhao Sicong not only rushed over, blocked Li Gang, who couldn't stop rushing down the slope, and grabbed Li Gang tightly and asked, "Commander Li, there is a task, right?" ”

Without waiting for Li Gang to answer, Zhao Sicong said with a complaint: "Commander Li, you are too uninteresting, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the entire Duyi Regiment and the Fifth Regiment are all engaged in the blocking battle with the enemy on the mountain peak, and the fight is very enjoyable, but my artillery company has been sitting on the cold bench, so people really can't sit still."

The whole army is just our artillery company, sitting here only listening to the sound of gunfire, and no one pays attention to us at all. Commander Li, didn't you forget about our artillery company? ”

"Bastard calf, how can you forget your artillery company? The artillery company is our only baby bump, and if it doesn't matter, am I willing to use you? Zhao Sicong, now the only regiment and the fifth regiment have been mixed to meet the powerful Japanese attack, just like that, we are still outnumbered.

Now it's time to pull your artillery company up, you kid should give me a long eye for the shells, specially shell the enemy groups that the devils are about to rush to the forward position, cover my blocking troops with artillery fire, and fiercely block the little devils who are about to break through the forward position, do you understand? ”

Zhao Sicong didn't expect that when there was no task, the soldiers of the artillery company were uncomfortable, and he suddenly gave an order, the combat mission was so heavy, and he said happily: "Commander Li, please rest assured, I will definitely ask the shells to grow into eyes, where the devils are piled up, my shells will fall." ”

"Don't talk big to me, whether the soldiers of the One Regiment and the Fifth Regiment can hold their positions and complete the combat mission assigned by the head of the military region depends on your artillery company when the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to us."

Li Gang said, patted Zhao Sicong's shoulder heavily, and ordered loudly: "Immediately move the artillery position to the peak of Beishan, reach the designated position, quickly adjust the artillery position, and do not fire the artillery without my order." ”

After he gave the order, he turned around and rushed to the command position of the mountain, when he saw a batch of little devils, like fast-moving wild boars, frantically pounced on the Beishan position, and the devils who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground under the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, but the enemy behind them, under the supervision of the commander, flocked to the position even more crazily.

The forward position was facing the danger of being broken through by the enemy, and the fourth battalion of the only regiment, as the reserve of the position, under the leadership of battalion commander Song Chun, was like a firefighting team in the position, rushing to wherever there was danger.

At first, it was able to cope with it, but in the end, all four battalions were pressed to the front of the position, and the danger faced by the entire position could not be lifted, and the situation on the battlefield was getting worse and worse.

As the supreme commander of the battlefield, Li Gang was a little nervous, irritable, and even impulsive, and really wanted to lead his troops into the enemy group and fight the enemy with a knife and a shot, even if he died in battle, he did not want to watch the enemy pounce on him like this, and the entire position was facing an increasingly tense situation.

At this moment, Ma Ming led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to the Beishan position, and when he rushed to Li Gang's side, he found that Li Gang was extremely nervous, and the emotion of being angry and unable to control himself was spreading rapidly.

Ma Ming grabbed Li Gang violently and shouted, "Commander Li, what will happen to Commander Lei Jian if he commands this battle?" Have you thought of it? ”

Li Gang shook off Ma Ming and roared: "Bastard, I am not the commander of the Thunder Sword Regiment, I am the only regiment commander who has just been appointed, in the battlefield situation where the enemy is outnumbered and the strength and firepower are extremely unequal, I, Li Gang, have given up everything to lead the soldiers to block the enemy, but there are more and more enemies, you say that we only have so many troops, even if we have one enemy and ten, but our soldiers have been fighting the enemy continuously for more than fourteen hours, can we still fight with one enemy and ten?" How do you say I should fight this battle? ”

Ma Ming and Li Gang are brothers who have been condensed with blood and life on the battlefield, and he saw that Li Gang was afraid of difficulties and helpless in this treacherous battlefield situation, and he didn't care about the battlefield discipline, so he grabbed Li Gang and dragged him aside.

He glared angrily and scolded: "You bastard, the Thunder Sword Commander has died heroically, and handed over the only regiment to you and me, and now you have this kind of unfavorable mood for the command, are you worthy of the Thunder Sword Commander who is still walking on the road to heaven?" Are you worthy of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are fighting with the enemy with blood and life? Wake me up quickly, and come up with a way to fight the enemy, even if we fight to the last man, we will never be a bad seed. ”

Li Gang was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that because his command was not in place, he would not be able to complete the task assigned to him by his superior to block the enemy, and he was even more afraid of the soldiers of the One Regiment and the Fifth Regiment, because of his incompetence Li Gang, he gave the lives of so many soldiers in vain.

He was scolded by Ma Ming severely, his impetuous and impulsive emotions were slowly controlled, and gradually precipitated, and his face showed fortitude, a commander of the Eighth Route Army, a kind of calmness in the case of a very bad situation on the battlefield.

The commander of the Katayama Brigade, who was directing a large force to attack the Kitayama position at the foot of the mountain, saw that it was already time for Commander Okamura to break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, and he roared and roared: "Concentrate artillery fire and open artillery fire on the Tubalu position——。 ”
