Before leaving, he saw Aster who was quickly taking away the first-aid gauze, and saw Aster running while crying with tears in his eyes, Liu Yun grabbed it and asked nervously: "Aster, why are you crying?" What the hell is going on? ”

This Aster is to protect the two orphans of the Japanese stationmaster of the Jingcheng Coal Mine Station on the battlefield and save him, and he did not take good care of his six-year-old son, but his son was killed by the devils who rushed into the village, and when he was grief-stricken, he resolutely asked to join the Eighth Route Army, and Lei Jian was specially approved to enter the only regiment medical team.

At this time, she was questioned by her husband, she cried and shook off Liu Yun to cover her mouth, and rushed out with a whimper. Liu Yun caught up and asked anxiously again: "Aster, I'm your husband, what can't I say?" Tell me, what happened to Captain Lei? ”

"Political Commissar Ma has an order not to spread the word about Commander Lei's injury."

"What do you say? Could it be that Regiment Leader Lei is really injured, is it not light? Aster, tell me quickly. ”

"Liu Yun, I shouldn't have told you, but if you chase after me, I can only say that Regiment Leader Lei's life is dying, I don't know, I don't know...... Woo woo woo......, Liu Yun, I told you, you must not say it, this is discipline, did you hear it? ”

Liu Yun didn't expect that Lei Jian would be so seriously injured, and his life was in danger, he didn't dare to show his grief in front of the soldiers, and now he saw the reconnaissance company and the guard platoon, guarding the seriously wounded on the stretcher between the two war horses, and they were rushing through the troops and rushing forward.

He couldn't control his crying anymore: "Captain Lei, are you okay?" ”

This cry of sorrow shocked the entire army, and all the soldiers of the only regiment shouted almost at the same time: "Commander Lei, are you okay?" Woo woo woo ....... ”

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the soldiers of the army were worried about the safety of Lei Jian, and he was afraid that the soldiers would be emotionally unstable and affect the speed of the troops, so he stopped his horse and shouted: "The cadres and soldiers of the only regiment, our Commander Lei is overworked and has a brain disease now, don't worry, as long as you can ask Commander Lei to sleep a little longer, he will be fine." ”

He saw that everyone's mood fluctuated greatly, and immediately shouted: "Comrades, just now Regiment Commander Lei woke up, scolded me, and strongly demanded that he should march on horseback, in order for Regiment Commander Lei to get a better rest, so as to lead our only regiment to continue to fight devils, after the decision of the regiment commander, order Regiment Commander Lei to continue to lie down on the stretcher and sleep."

Comrades, I have made it very clear, please don't worry, Regiment Commander Lei is very good now, as long as the only regiment maintains the speed of rapid marching and arrives at the assembly area on time, Regiment Commander Lei will be very happy, thank you. ”

When Wang Xiaoliang and Political Commissar Ma Mingshan looked at each other, Wang Xiaoliang bit his lower lip fiercely, not letting tears flow out, shook his head and whispered: "Political Commissar Ma, the situation is not good, we must hurry up, arrive at the field hospital of the military region, and take the first step." ”

At this time, in the war room of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Commander Nie received an urgent telegram from the only regiment, immediately replied, and temporarily terminated the military meeting, and said to Staff Officer Tang: "You immediately invite Dr. Kotnis, the leader of the medical team to aid China. ”

After a short time, Dr. Kotnis quickly ran into the war room of the military area, and seeing Commander Nie's anxious face, he comforted: "Commander Nie, I have already heard the situation of General General Lei on the way, I don't know how the commander will arrange it?" ”

Commander Nie had already made a decision when Dr. Kotnis had not yet arrived, and looked at Dr. Kotnis at this time and said: "Dr. Kotnis, the only regiment leader of the Lei Sword Regiment is dying and is on the way to the field hospital of the military region, I would like to ask Dr. Kotnis to bring the expert medical team, as well as the necessary medical equipment and medicines, to quickly meet the team escorting the captain of the Lei regiment, once the injury is urgent, on the road to carry out rescue, I don't know ...... Dr. Kotnis." ”

Dr. Kotnis said firmly, "Okay, please rest assured, Commander Nie, I will immediately lead the medical team, emergency medical equipment and medicines, and set off now." ”

After seeing off Dr. Kotnis, although Commander Nie's heart was heavy, the battle situation on the front line was tense, and he then held the task of deploying the third phase of the Hundred Regiments War.

In late September, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army deployed all military regions and major corps to immediately enter the second stage of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, expand the results of the battle, and launch an attack on the enemy's outlying strongholds.

After receiving an order from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, the Jinsui Military Region, and the major corps immediately entered the second phase of campaign preparations after the first phase of the campaign ended.

The main division of the Eighth Route Army (120) Hebu left the Zhengtai Road attack position and quickly moved to the front line of the Ningwu Highway, with the purpose of expanding the results of the battle, and raided the outlying strongholds of the Japanese army.

The commander of the 118th Division of the Japanese Army received an order from General Okamura Ninji of the Japanese Army in North China to assemble more than 1,000 garrisons of the Japanese strongholds north of Jingle and Xinkou, and quickly assembled in the Ningwu area, in an attempt to stop our main division (120) and continue to advance north to raid the enemy's stronghold.

In the vicinity of Xinkou, Hebe encountered the enemy on 15 September, immediately set up a position, launched a-for-tat counterattack with the enemy, and suddenly engaged the enemy, causing the main division (120) to start the second phase of the battle of the hundred regiments ahead of schedule.

A squadron of the 118th Division of the Japanese Army, dispatched from Ninghua Fort, frantically pounced to the southeast, was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and the fleeing enemy met with a reinforced squadron of Japanese troops at Phoenix Ridge, and turned around to attack the Eighth Route Army.

The First Division of the Eighth Route Army conducted a fierce battle against the Japanese army that was frantically counterattacking on a high ground southeast of Ninghua Fort, and almost completely annihilated the attacking enemy with superior forces, and the remnants of the enemy, leaving behind the corpses of the dead Japanese soldiers, fled back to the stronghold of Ninghua Fort in panic.

In the early morning of 16 July, the 3rd Brigade of the Main Division (120), the Yanbei Guerrilla Detachment, the 3rd Detachment, the 8th Brigade, the Independent Brigade, the 2nd Independent Brigade, and the 1st Temporary Division launched the second phase of the strongest firepower offensive with the enemy at Matouying, Xuangang Town, Yangpenling, Ningwu, Fengzitou, and other Japanese strongholds.

The 118th Division of the Japanese Army in Jinsui learned of the direction of the actions of the main division of the army, and ordered the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade to send elite troops to fight to the death with the main division of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to avoid the enemy's advance and reduce the casualties of the troops, Hebe ended the second phase of the battle of the 100 regiments north of Tongpulu at the end of September, and the troops were transferred in time to rest and recuperate.

In the second stage of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, under the planning of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, the Jinsui Military Region, and the major corps carried out the most fierce sabotage battles, resulting in the Japanese railways, highways, and strongholds along and outside the lines in North China being severely attacked by the 105 regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

When the major military regions and major corps launched the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Commander Lu of the Jizhong Military Region in North China ordered; The 18th, 23rd, and 30th regiments, as well as other anti-Japanese forces, conquered more than a dozen Japanese strongholds such as Liuzhuang, Shiqianghou, and Canglingzhuang, and attacked the roads along the route.

Commander Chen of the Southern Hebei Military Region ordered the 27th Regiment, the East Vertical Independent Regiment, the New Seventh Brigade, and the New Ninth Brigade to find out the Japanese army's line of action, set up an ambush in the middle of the road, strike at the enemy who was reinforcing Zhengtai Road, and wait for an opportunity to destroy the enemy's stronghold artillery towers, especially in the battle of breaking the Deshi Road, leading the army and the people to hollow out the side of the railway, and the army and the people worked together to overturn the tracks.

In the Taihang and Taiyue Military Regions, the newly organized First Brigade, the Second Brigade, and the Qinbei Detachment launched a large-scale raid on the strongholds of Anyang, Cixian, Huguan, Lucheng, Baijin, and Tongpu, as well as on railways and highways, and won a great victory in the second phase of the 100-regiment battle.

Over the past month or so of the Battle of the 100 Regiments, the entire unit has been extremely tired and suffering from heavy casualties and losses in the fierce battles with the enemy, sabotaging railways and highways, and destroying strongholds, bridges, culverts, and stations along the enemy's communication lines and on the outer lines.

On 2 October, in accordance with the military deployment of the Japanese North China Front, the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army issued the spirit of the document "Explanations and Preparations for the Troops After the Second Phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments" and ordered all units to seize the time to rest and recuperate, replenish the troops, sum up the experience and shortcomings in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, mobilize cadres and soldiers to realize the continuity and arduousness of heroic operations, and create conditions for a greater strategic offensive against the enemy at any time.

The instructions issued by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army on the "...... of the Second Phase of the Hundred Regiments Battle" clearly indicated the end of the second phase of the Hundred Regiments Battle.

The Battle of the 100 Regiments on Zhengtai Road, which was carried out by the 1005 regiments, dealt a great blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army, destroyed most of the enemy's railways and highways in North China, and conquered many strongholds, bridges, stations, and culverts along the Japanese army's communication routes, paralyzing almost the entire line of Japanese transportation in North China.

As Okamura Ninji, commander of the Japanese North China Front, said: "The attack of the 100 regiments of the Eighth Route Army was completely unexpected by the North China Command of our Imperial Japanese Army, and the losses were huge, and it took a lot of money and time to repair." I ordered all corps, divisions, and brigades in North China to carry out the most fierce autumn sweep of the Eighth Route Army's base areas. ”
