The second company, which adhered to the main peak of Lao Ye Mountain, used a company to contain the main forces of the two brigades of the devils, blocking the enemy from the beginning of the attack to the heroic withdrawal from the position, nearly two hours, redeploying the main force to Lei Jian, striking a brigade of devils, destroying the Japanese army's baggage, and winning precious time.

The soldiers of the second company regrouped at the foot of Lao Ye Mountain, and the deputy company commander looked at the more than 150 soldiers of a company, and now there were only 67 soldiers standing in front of him.

The soldiers who were alive heard the sound of guns and cannons on the east bank of the Tiechuan River on the western slope of Laoye Mountain, and regained their confidence, and the deputy company commander wiped away his tears and shouted: "The soldiers of the second company, we are still alive, we must continue to kill the little devils, ride on war horses, and quickly move closer to the main force fighting in the Tiechuan River." ”

The two brigades of the Japanese army finally captured the main peak of Lao Ye Mountain with the most fierce firepower, and the captain of the 16th Brigade, Yamada Nakasa, shouted arrogantly: "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is an invincible army, and the Lao Ye Mountain, which is firmly defended by the Eighth Road, was broken through by the Imperial Army, and the results were great. ”

The captain of the Seventh Brigade, Muto Nobuyoshi Nakasa, sneered and said: "Yamada-kun, do you think that the two Japanese brigades, concentrating the most intense artillery fire and carrying out a crazy attack, only broke through the Lao Ye Mountain occupied by a company of the Eighth Route Army at this time, and the results were really brilliant?" I think it's a shame. ”

"Muto-kun, we wiped out a regiment of the Dirt Eight Road and occupied Lao Ye Mountain, isn't it worth celebrating?"

"A bunch of nonsense, self-deception and arrogance, the main force of the Tuba Road has been deployed on the east bank of the Tiechuan River under the western slope of Lao Ye Mountain, and at this time it is blocking the westward reinforcements of our 11th Brigade with the main force. After receiving the information, the truck in front was destroyed, and six baggage trucks were bombarded by artillery fire in a series of explosions, is this the end of the battle you said? Muto Nobuyoshi sneered again.

Muto Nobuyoshi dares to face and speak out, and it should be said that he is a very admirable commander.

At this time, Lei Jian once again issued one order after another, ordering to ambush the cavalry battalion and assault company of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese army advancing westward, and to find every opportunity to raid the Japanese troops advancing west to reinforce the Zhengtai Road.

He led the reconnaissance platoon and the guard squad back to the woods on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, and in order to grasp the battlefield situation between the enemy and us, he ......climbed the big straight poplar tree again, hid it in the leafy canopy, and scanned the battlefields where the enemy was engaged with a telescope.

The commander of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army, Iizuka Osa, commanded the 11th Brigade to quickly rush to the Hengshi Highway on the western slope of Laoye Mountain, in an attempt to face the main force of the Eighth Route Army guarding Laoye Mountain from the west, implement a three-sided encirclement, occupy Laoye Mountain in one fell swoop, eliminate Lei Jian's 'only regiment', and clear the passage to continue westward advance.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the truck team turned into Hengshi Road on the western slope of Laoye Mountain, it was attacked by a small group of troops of the Eighth Route Army, causing the tires of the two trucks in front of them to burst and the troops to cause casualties.

When the panic was unsettled, from the middle of the truck brigade, a violent serial explosion suddenly came, and six baggage trucks were destroyed by two mortars of the Eighth Route Army, and four of them were bombed.

Iizuka Daisa roared angrily: "Yaga, Commander Lei Jian of the Shina Wazi, is it a human or a ghost? Why did the main force guarding Lao Ye Mountain unknowingly move down the western slope and sneak attack the trucks and baggage convoys of our Imperial Japanese Army? ”

Chief of Staff Ken Sato of the 581st Wing reported at this time: "Report to Your Excellency Iizuka, according to the reports of the 7th and 16th Brigades attacking the peaks of Lao Ye Mountain, they have broken through the mountain heights held by the 'only regiment' of the Eighth Route Army, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been completely annihilated, and the results of this battle are ....... ”

"The results of the war, the results of the war? Two Japanese brigades broke through a company and blocked the attack on eight roads, can this kind of breakthrough be called a brilliant result? A bunch of stupid pigs. The 7th and 16th Brigades were ordered to rush down the Lao Ye Mountain at the fastest speed, occupy the position at the bottom of the slope, and destroy the main force on the east bank of the Tiechuan River of the 'Only Regiment' of the Tuba Road with the most intense firepower.

Order the 11th Brigade to clear the road obstructions, quickly assemble at the foot of Lao Ye Mountain, join up with the 7th and 16th Brigades, concentrate superior forces, and must completely wipe out the Tubalu 'Independent Regiment' commanded by Lei Jian. Iizuka yelled angrily.

At this time, Lei Jian, who was standing in the canopy of the tree, found that the Japanese truck on Hengshi Road began to move forward slowly, and he kept an eye on it, hoping that this time the devil's truck team could enter the minefield laid in advance.

When the first armored car was driving, it suddenly fell into the pit of the road, touched the detonating device under the pit, and the cluster grenades and explosives packages laid below and behind suddenly exploded, and the first armored car was scrapped with four tires and could not move in the pit.

The armored car that followed closely behind was blown up and almost overturned, but it did not lie on its stomach. Three or four trucks were blown up into the ditches on both sides, and the little devils in the cars were either thrown out of the car or fell into the car by stumbling.

Ambushing the enemy's assault company, company commander Fang Liqiang saw the detonating device, destroying the first armored car in front and three or four trucks behind, he wasted no time in shouting: "Concentrate all your firepower and destroy the little devils on the car and lying on the ground." ”

'Suddenly, suddenly, ......suddenly', 'pop, snap, pop, pop......', machine gun rifle bullets burst out from the green gauze tent, with the greatest firepower, to eliminate the little devil who had not yet reacted.

The first armored car nested in the pit, no matter how much it tossed, never left the big pit that it had fallen into, that is, the armored car that had been pushed out of the pit and lost its tires could no longer drive.

The little devil in the car was just about to get out of the car for inspection, and was suddenly hit by the fierce fire of the green yarn tent, and the little devil with extremely high combat quality immediately adjusted the inclined hull and on-board weapons, and with the cooperation of the second armored car and other trucks of Japanese firepower, concentrated the most fierce firepower and swept towards the Eighth Route Army troops hidden in the green yarn tent.

Fang Liqiang saw that he had achieved the expected goal, and in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, he decisively shouted: "Withdraw from the battle and quickly rush towards the second ambush." ”

The commander of the devil who was ambushed, after a fierce fire counterattack, found that the resistance in the green gauze tent had stopped, and Iizuka Osa ordered the captain of the 11th brigade: "Nakamura-kun, your vanguard is slow to move, and it has been attacked by the Tsubachi Road three times, which brings great danger to the follow-up troops, I order you, send a squadron to move with the truck, and protect the truck along both sides of the Hengshi Road to pass quickly." ”

"Hello." Captain Masao Nakamura immediately ordered a squadron of devils to quickly clear the destroyed trucks of the front team, escort them on both sides, and protect the truck team to reach the bottom of the mountain on the western slope of Lao Ye Mountain safely.

Lei Jian, who was standing in the canopy of the tree, saw the devil's truck team, under the protection of the devil's two sides, began to move forward slowly, he knew that there was still a minefield laid in front of him, and he would soon give the devil another blow.

He moved the binoculars, and when he found that the peak of Lao Ye Mountain was filled with gunsmoke and flames, and there was no gunfire at this time, he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, worried about the soldiers of the second company, whether they had safely withdrawn from their positions and reached the bottom of the mountain now?

Just when Lei Jian was worried about the second company, a large number of little devils suddenly appeared from the binoculars, Lei Jian kept adjusting the angle, this look was not trivial, and he shouted in shock: "Bastard, the main force of the two brigades of little devils, attacking the mountain peak position held by my second company, at this time it seems that the second company has completed their task, I don't know how to live or die." This group of big devils standing on the top of the peak rushed down the mountain quickly like crazy wolves. ”

Lei Jian nervously leaned over and shouted under the tree: "Zhang Ping, immediately order all the artillery of the 'One Regiment', no matter where they are now, immediately adjust their gun positions, and with the most fierce firepower, shell a large number of little devils who rushed down the western slope from the peak of Lao Ye Mountain." ”

He then ordered: "Order the cavalry battalion to abandon the original operational mission, take light and heavy weapons, climb the cliff from the northern slope of Lao Ye Mountain, climb the Lao Ye Mountain, and contract to withdraw the first battalion and two companies of the infantry that have fallen down the mountain, and condescendingly attack the main force of the Japanese army rushing down the mountain." ”

Lei Jian ordered again: "Order Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Xiaoliang, pay attention to concealment, the enemy's main force is not within the effective range, do not expose the target, once you exchange fire with the enemy, you must suppress the enemy with the most fierce firepower, you can't let the enemy break through the fire blockade, and move west to reinforce the Japanese army's defensive position on Zhengtai Road." ”

After giving the order, Lei Jian jumped from the tree and landed, and he ordered Qu Jiaming: "Leave one squad here to protect Director Zhang Ping's battlefield reconnaissance squad, you lead the other two squads, Feng Guang leads the guard squad, and act with me immediately." ”
