Less than 100 meters away from the forward position of the Japanese army, Lei Jian caught up with Zhang Ting's 1st battalion, which was in charge of the frontal attack in the first echelon, he endured the baking of the hot ground, and ordered Zhang Ting, the commander of the 1st battalion: "You send an assault company to touch the enemy's forward position, once the enemy encounters flames in front, abandon the forward position and retreat, and immediately occupy it first." ”

Song Chun, the commander of the first company, led the soldiers to bow his waist, quickly approached the forward position of the Japanese army on the high ground, and could occupy it in less than five steps, and the soldiers jumped in surprise and were about to rush up. At this moment, the troops of the little devil who were sticking to the forward position of the first line of defense were rapidly approaching under the order of the cunning Iizuka Asaki Daisa.

The enemy and us were about to enter the forward position, and suddenly found that both sides appeared on the high ground at the same time, and the soldiers of a battalion of assault companies led by Song Chun, who had been prepared for a long time, pulled the trigger to carry out a fire strike, and at the same time, quickly rushed into the forward position of the devil.

The forward position instantly started fighting, the little devils are veterans who have survived the battlefield for a long time, well-trained, superb fighting skills, in the face of the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army's brave killing, without fear, struggle to resist.

Although the battalion and company led by Song Chun are the most competent companies of the newly formed independent regiment, the soldiers of this company are all peasant brothers who have just joined the army for a short time.

These recruits, who have no experience in battlefield fighting, use brute strength and no skills at all in the life-and-death struggle with devils.

In a few minutes, the soldiers of the assault company led by Song Chun had already suffered more than a dozen casualties, and under the fierce fight of the devils, they were slowly forced out of the forward position on the high ground, and they were showing the courage to fight to the death with the enemy, but this could not stop the large number of little devils who came up to join the fight.

The 1st Battalion and the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Echelon of the New Seventh Brigade, which were suspended halfway up the mountain, saw that the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the Eighth Route Army on the high ground had already started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy in the forward position, and the 1st Battalion Commander Zhang Ting did not wait for the order to attack under the thunder sword, and led the 1st Battalion of soldiers to rush forward, he wanted to rescue the 1st Company that had been killed by the devil and could not resist.

Lei Jian shouted: "Zhang Ting, you bastard, quickly order the troops to lie down, cover the fire and cover the company to withdraw from the position, and I will immediately order artillery support." ”

Zhang Ting looked at the gradually losing company, and soon the whole army would be wiped out, his avatar was about to explode, and he couldn't listen to Lei Jian's loud shouts at all, and led the soldiers to kill bravely.

At this time, the little devil who had reoccupied the position immediately prepared for battle, and when he saw Zhang Ting's battalion rushing up, all kinds of light and heavy weapons suddenly opened fire, and the powerful fire strike, suppressing the charging battalion had nowhere to dodge, and the soldiers who rushed in front were shot and fell, not only did not rescue the first company, but also put the first company in the devil's fighting encirclement.

At this time, in order to take into account the safety of the soldiers of Song Chun's first company who were fighting with the enemy in the forward position, and also to take into account the safety of the soldiers of the first battalion who rushed to the forward position, he had to give up the deployment of heavy firepower to attack the enemy's forward position.

He ordered Zhang Ting, who was lying 30 meters away from the forward position on the high ground: "Concentrate your fire on the enemy in the forward position, rescue the company that fought with the enemy, and once the company retreats, immediately retreat 100 meters and wait for my order." ”

The second echelon of the New Seventh Brigade and the First Regiment of the Second Echelon, which was closely behind the first battalion, saw that the first echelon in front of them was attacking, and suddenly was hit by the fierce fire of the devil's forward position, the commander of the first regiment shouted anxiously: "Soldiers of the first regiment, we can't watch the troops of the first echelon being disabled by the enemy, and they all ...... with me." ”

The commander of the first regiment has a strong temperament, and he has been unable to get along with Lei Jian many times, and he was later impressed by the facts, and he made a promise this time that he would never act without the order of Commander-in-Chief Lei.

He saw Lei Jian anxiously to Zhang Ting, the commander of the first echelon, to issue a company of fire cover and lead the troops to retreat 100 meters, and the commander of the first regiment immediately shouted vigilantly: "Lie down on the spot, no one move, ready to receive orders at any time to launch a general attack on the enemy's forward positions." ”

The temperature of the ground is still very high, the soldiers squatting on the ground, the soles of their feet feel uncomfortable, from time to time to change the position of their feet, to avoid the high temperature of the ground, and now one of their regiments is ordered to lie down on the ground, who can stand the scorching of the ground.

A group leader took the lead and lay on the hot ground, giving him the first feeling, the entire chest, abdomen and legs that touched the ground, as if baking on an iron plate, the unbearable high temperature, sweating profusely, the whole person was very uncomfortable.

The soldiers saw their regimental commander lying on the scorching ground, and as soon as they touched the ground, they not only shouted: ", it's so hot." "Immediately use your elbows and knees to prop up your front body, and your ass is pouting, and you can't hold on for long.

The head of the regiment shouted fiercely: "Bastard, if you don't want to die, stick your whole body to the ground, the bullet doesn't have long eyes, once the little devil's fire is killed, the upturned ass will be beaten to pieces by the bullet, have you heard?" ”

Just as the soldiers of the regiment were lying on the ground, the first battalion of the first echelon, suppressed by the powerful fire of the enemy's forward position, was rapidly retreating 100 meters, basically next to the regiment, and then stopped.

One hundred meters, should be the effective range of the devil's 38 big cover firepower strike, the Japanese commander Iizuka Asaki Daisa, brandished the command knife and rushed to the forward position, seeing the first echelon of the Eighth Route Army defeated and fled to the halfway up the mountainside, he laughed and said: "The cunning of the Eighth Route of the Earth dares to brave the high temperature and sneak into the forward position of our Imperial Japanese Army, if it were not for my advance deployment, I would have almost lost the high ground."

My chess is superior, and I have already occupied my forward position, and the Tuba Road has been defeated and fled down the mountain with kills and firepower, causing heavy casualties in the Tuba Road, hahaha, Chief of Staff, I order ....... ”

Iizuka Asaki, a treacherous guy, although he watched the attack of the Eighth Route Army that had crushed the Eighth Route Army, and made arrogant remarks, but the eyes of this bastard stared at the position of the Eighth Route Army under the mountain from time to time.

Although it was four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and a round of morning sun was about to emerge in the east.

What caused Iizuka Daisa's nerves to be highly tense was that he saw dozens of mortars under the mountain, and he was adjusting the gun positions and preparing to fire at any time.

The cunning Iizuka Osa suddenly turned around and shouted: "At each firepower point in the forward position, leave a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Army, who is responsible for observing the enemy situation and reporting at any time. ”

Lei Jian watched the first battalion quickly withdraw a hundred meters from the enemy's forward position, and he ordered the mountain: "The mortar is aimed at the heavy fire point of the enemy's forward position, open fire, fire at me." ”

He also ordered the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Ting: "Order your battalion to launch the third round of artillery fire, and the first battalion will immediately launch a general attack on the forward positions of the highland devils." In this attack, it is necessary to seize the forward position of the devils, strengthen and stabilize the position, cover a regiment to catch up and expand the results of the battle, break through the enemy's fire blockade, and launch an attack on the enemy's second line of defense. ”

Lei Jian took precautions, and then shouted: "Once the forward position of the devil is occupied by a large Japanese army, in order to reduce casualties, quickly retreat a hundred meters, I will order the artillery to shell the enemy's forward position again." Several shellings will certainly inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. When Eli really launched a general attack on the enemy, he defeated the arrogant little devil in one fell swoop. ”

According to Lei Jian's order, Zhang Ting paid close attention to the frequency of the mortars under the mountain to capture the best opportunity to attack, and when Zhang Ting frowned and counted the explosion of shells, Lei Jian shouted: "Zhang Ting, immediately lead a battalion to attack." ”

The last shell landed and exploded, and before the aftermath dissipated, Lei Jian decisively gave the order to attack.

The first battalion, under the leadership of Zhang Ting, braved the smoke, dust and shrunnel in front and behind the enemy's forward positions, and the soldiers rushed forward without hesitation.

At this time, they are racing against time and comparing speed with the little devils, once the Eighth Route Army occupies the forward position first, gets timely reinforcements from the new Seventh Brigade and a regiment, and then has the cooperation of the two wings, they can consolidate the position and launch an attack on the second line of defense of the Japanese army.

Zhang Ting led a battalion of soldiers to rush into the forward position of the Japanese army with the fastest running speed, and a dozen more steps.

But at this moment, the commander of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army, Iizuka Osa, a fellow with rich combat experience, felt that the combat methods of the commander of the Eighth Route Army were different from the previous attacks in the first firepower battle with the Eighth Route Army today.

The difference is; Brave and strong maneuver when attacking, seemingly strong and tentative, retreating without chaos to adjust the formation at any time, heavy firepower strikes, high accuracy of hitting the target, he secretly scolded: "This is a very cunning Tubalu commander. ”
