Lei Jian's only regiment has been deployed in the Iron Camel Mountain, the main peak and the halfway up the mountain, to actively respond to the strong attack of the Japanese army, and at the same time to prepare for the air fire attack of the Japanese fighters.

The east is still gray, the Japanese 576th Wing Captain Hetun Dazuo, ordered the troops to launch an attack on the Iron Camel Mountain, the first wave of attacking devils in seven or eight hundred, arrogant devils ignore the rainy weather, the first round of strong attack on the Iron Camel Mountain.

When the Japanese army advanced to the halfway up the mountain, Lei Jian ordered the 1st and 2nd battalions: let the enemy cross the halfway up the mountain, when the main force of the Japanese army entered between the main peak and the halfway up the mountain, the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion cut off the attacking Japanese troops from the middle with the most fierce firepower, and concentrated firepower to eliminate the devils who entered the mid-mountainside to attack the main position, and the other blocked the Japanese troops behind below the halfway up the mountain, blocking the enemy who was put into the halfway up the mountainside position with reinforcements.

The only regiment and the enemy engaged in the most fierce battle at the Iron Camel Mountain, and the positions on the two flanks were first divided by the attacking enemy, and the attack was carried out in sections, and under the combined attack of the front and the two flanks, the enemy who had entered the frontal forward position was crushed, retreated in panic, and was cut off again by the first and second battalions of the two flanks, and carried out a severe blow.

Hetun Dazuo of the 576th Wing under the mountain, holding a telescope, saw that the attacking Japanese army was hit by the fierce fire of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and he ordered the artillery squadron to fire at the front of the Eighth Route Army and the two flanks on the mountain.

Dozens of shells roared down on the position of the single regiment, and the mud, gravel, and shrapnel kicked up by the explosion of one shell after another swept towards the soldiers who were fighting the devils with firepower, and groups of soldiers fell, but the soldiers who were still alive did not hesitate to step on the blood stains of their comrades, stick to their positions, and start a positional battle with the enemy.

At a very difficult time when the only regiment was under heavy artillery fire from the Japanese army under the mountain, and the entire position was submerged in the smoke and flames of gunpowder, more than 20 Japanese fighters appeared in the gray sky in the southwest direction, flying lightning to the peak of Tiehuo Mountain, hovering at a low altitude and looking for a target.

When Lei Jian found that the ground was being attacked by a large Japanese army, more than 20 enemy fighters flew into the air, and he immediately ordered the four battalions holding the mountain peak position: order the four battalions to abandon the main peak position, withdraw from the position as quickly as possible, under the cover of dense mountain forests, shrubs and thorns, and move halfway up the mountain.

Song Chun, the commander of the fourth battalion, received the order, and without hesitation, he led the troops to withdraw from the main position, burrowed into the woods, and quickly withdrew from the main position with the jumping speed of a mountain leopard swooping down the mountain.

As soon as the 4th Battalion withdrew from its position, enemy fighters swooped down from a high altitude in batches and dropped a large number of bombs over the flying forest.

Six batches of enemy fighters dived, bombed, and strafed, and the positions of the four battalions on the mountain peak were blown up in flames. The first wave of bombing by enemy planes destroyed all the trees on the entire mountain position, and even a few boulders were blown flat.

Not a single tree was lost at the top of the hill, only sections of tree stumps could be recognized as still burning in the smoke and flames, and the ground had just been filled in by repeated bombardments, and new craters had been blown up.

Under the command of ground communications to constantly report the coordinates of the positions of the Eighth Route Army, the air commanders of the Japanese fighters began to launch aerial bombardment and fire strikes on the left and right flank positions of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, which were deployed halfway up the mountain.

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions were bombed by enemy planes above and attacked by Japanese ground troops, and the Japanese attacking troops, which had just been cut in half, converged together and launched an upward and downward flank attack on the left and right flanks of the only regiment, and launched an encirclement posture on all sides, in an attempt to wipe out the only regiment holding on to the Iron Camel Mountain in one fell swoop.

Lei Jian saw that the troops were undergoing the test of an unprecedented battle with a strong enemy, and a position was broken through by the enemy, and the troops were immediately divided and surrounded, and the situation on the battlefield was very grim.

Lei Jian, who has always been at war with the enemy and commanded Ruoding, felt the cruelty of this battle for the first time, he stood under a big tree, scanned the layout of the Japanese army on the entire battlefield with a telescope, he not only frowned and shouted: "Order the fourth battalion to quickly seize the main peak position, and the first and second battalions to break through to the two flanks, break out of the enemy encirclement, build a position, and give me a fierce blow to the enemy who is chasing after me." ”

Lei Jian ordered to Zhang Ping, director of the Electrical Investigation Department: "Convey my order, order the Li Gang cavalry battalion and reconnaissance company that are mobile at the foot of the mountain, divide into several assault horse teams, launch a fierce attack behind the enemy's rear, contain and lure the main force of the Japanese army to return to help, and then do not fall in love with the battle, quickly retreat, repeatedly disturb the enemy, and break the enemy's entire deployment to attack Tiehuo Mountain."

Ordered the third battalion to leave a company to protect the regimental organs, and the departments of the regiment, hidden in the green yarn tent not to be exposed, and ordered the third battalion commander Huang Yong to lead two companies to quickly attack the flank of the Japanese army's main force, and hit the enemy with the greatest firepower. ”

Lei Jian distributed the only regiment to fight the enemy on several battlefields, and he knew that concentrating superior forces to fight the enemy was the best opportunity to destroy the only regiment by concentrating on enemy planes bombing and strafing with firepower, and under the frenzied attack of devils' ground troops.

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang, who was on the left and right flanks of the mountain, commanded to block the enemy's attack, ordered the commander of the first battalion, Zhang, and the commander of the second battalion, Song, to drag the enemy to fight in accordance with the latest order issued by Lei Jian.

When the Japanese troops saw that the 1st and 2nd Battalions were fighting and stopped halfway up the mountain, the devils were even more frenzied, and they took the division of troops to surround the two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese troops who had been following the attack on the 1st and 2nd battalions were divided into three lines, one attacking the 1st battalion on the left flank, the 2nd battalion on the right flank, and the main battlefield on the mountain peak of the only regiment.

More than a thousand little devils, under the cover of the powerful firepower of the fighters in the air, launched an even more frantic attack on the only group.

Lei Jian ordered the commander of the fourth battalion, Huang Battalion, to stick to the main position of the mountain peak, block the enemy at the bottom of the mountain, and once he found that the air planes were bombing in the air, he immediately led the troops to retreat halfway up the mountain, and used the opportunity of retreat to kill the little devils who attacked the frontal position, and the enemy planes flew over and occupied the main position at the most ferocious speed.

The first and second battalions of the left and right flanks were ordered to fight a roundabout battle in the woods halfway up the mountain, avoid their edges, see the opportunity to carry out a counterattack, and immediately retreat when the battle was unfavorable.

Lei Jian knew that as long as he held out until dark, engaged the enemy at night, and then concentrated his superior forces and annihilated the enemy, he would definitely crush the Japanese army's large-scale attack.

The 576th Wing of the Japanese Army launched a large-scale attack on Tiehuo Mountain, and the only regiment engaged the enemy in its respective positions, sometimes using its positions to attack the enemy, sometimes taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to kill the enemy group, and carrying out a powerful fight, and when it was found that the enemy was concentrating its forces to carry out encirclement, it immediately quickly withdrew from the battle and hid into the woods.

The devil's attacks again and again were defeated again and again, but the troops of the only regiment encountered unprecedented difficulties on the battlefield of heroically killing the enemy, brutal blocking battles, the troops suffered heavy casualties, weapons and ammunition were rapidly consumed, if they continued to fight like this, they would eventually run out of ammunition and food, and the whole regiment would have no way to retreat, and was trapped and died in the Iron Camel Mountain.

When he received a report that the troops had suffered heavy casualties and that weapons and ammunition urgently needed to be replenished, he decisively ordered the first and second battalions on the left and right flanks to quickly assemble while maneuvering with the enemy.

Under the cover of the fire of the main frontal position, attack the enemy, annihilate the enemy's living forces, disrupt the overall offensive deployment of the Japanese army, look at the fighters to sneak attack the enemy, and change the passive to the active in the mountains and forests to protect themselves against the enemy.

Lei Jian led the assault company, the special service company, and the guard platoon, as the sharp knife of the only regiment, to penetrate directly into the command post at the foot of the Devil's Mountain when the battalions carried out a counterattack against the enemy.

The commander of the Hetun Wing, who was arrogantly commanding the troops at the foot of the mountain and attacking the position of the Eighth Route Army on the Iron Camel Mountain, said to the chief of staff of Koizumi beside him: "The only regiment of the Thunder Sword of the Eighth Route of the Tubalu Road, the positions of the Iron Camel Mountain that are firmly defended have been defeated by the powerful firepower of our Imperial Japanese Army, and they are like frightened lambs in the woods, running for their lives in all directions, and ordering the troops to conquer the Iron Camel Mountain and destroy the Eighth Route of the Earth with the most fierce firepower and the fastest speed. ”

Just when the main force of the Japanese army launched the most ferocious attack on the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army that was holding on to Tiehuo Mountain, an elite unit of the Eighth Route Army of more than 200 people suddenly appeared 100 meters from the command post of a Japanese squadron.

Lei Jian ordered the two company commanders: "Once an attack is launched on the enemy's command post, we must launch a sneak attack on the enemy's command post with the momentum of thunder, and when engaging the defending enemy, try to delay as much time as possible, and force the main force of the Japanese army attacking our position on Tiehuo Mountain to return to reinforcements, so as to relieve the pressure of troops and firepower on each position." ”

The main force of the only regiment in the main position of the Iron Camel Mountain and the position on the two wings of the mountain, in accordance with the operational deployment of the Thunder Sword, quickly assembled with lightning speed, and under the cover of the fire of the main frontal position, the first and second battalions concentrated their superior forces, killed the devil's part, and started hand-to-hand combat.
