Chapter 748: No Retreat (2)
Lei Jian led the soldiers of the guard squad to quickly retreat to the hidden place of the guard platoon, Qu Jiaming came up and asked, "Commander Lei, how is it?" I just heard the grenade exploding, but I didn't hear the sound of the devil's cannon being blown up and the shell exploding, what's going on? β
"Bastard calf, are you laughing at me? If it weren't for a squadron of devils in charge of guarding, I wouldn't have spared the devil's artillery position so lightly. β
Lei Jian was talking a little discouraged, and suddenly there was a continuous explosion sound from the artillery position, listening to the sound, it should have detonated the shell stacking place of the devil.
Qu Jiaming laughed and said: "Captain Lei, you are really good, and you still have a hand, and the trick of detonating at regular intervals is really admired, I admire you so much." β
Lei Jian was surprised by the explosion from the devil's artillery position, and laughed in surprise: "I'm not as evil as you Qu Jiaming said, what kind of timing detonation device, this time can detonate the devil's shell box, there are two possibilities, one is that the local troops assisted, and after we left, they attacked the little devil, and the other is that the grenade explosion ignited something around the shell, and slowly burned and detonated the shell, okay, it was not in vain, and immediately retreated to the woods with me." β
Dozens of war horses returned to the woods on the east bank of the Tiechuan River again, Zhang Ping walked quickly to Lei Jian, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Commander Lei, you are like an iron operator, and like a devil who kills the imperial army. β
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, don't brag about it, it's me who led the guard squad to destroy the devil's artillery position, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I don't dare to be greedy for heaven's merit for myself, this matter will be put aside for the time being, I wonder how the devil's shells are stacked on the ground, how can they be suddenly detonated."
Lei Jian asked Zhang Ping: "Do you have the latest information sent by the combat units?" β
"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, Deputy Regiment Commander Wang asks for instructions, can you order the main force of the 'One Regiment' to fight out of the position, engage the enemy with short troops, and launch a general attack on the enemy advancing westward with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army troops halfway up the Laoye Mountain?"
"No, immediately order Wang Xiaoliang, hold the position, don't move blindly, the enemy has not been disabled, as long as the main force of the devil's large army still exists, take any rash advance to expose the strength of the troops, it will be hit by the most fierce fire of the Japanese army, order again, save bullets, hit the enemy accurately, do not empty the gun, and immediately convey my order."
Lei Jian led the reconnaissance platoon and the guard squad to go out for a walk, I don't know how the battle is on the western slope of Lao Yeshan at this time, he 'rubbed, rubbed ......' and climbed up the poplar tree with a big canopy, holding a telescope, and glanced at the 11th Devil Brigade that was cautiously advancing forward on Hengshi Road.
He aimed the camera at the halfway point of the western slope of Lao Ye Mountain, and found that Li Gang led the cavalry battalion to attack a large group of devils attacking him.
Lei Jian turned the camera to the position occupied by the main force of the 'One Regiment' on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, and saw that the devils had divided a brigade and were attacking with the most fierce firepower, trying to break through the position of the 'One Regiment' and eliminate the blocking Eighth Route Army.
Wang Xiaoliang, who has now matured, did not put all the three main battalions of the 'One Regiment' into battle, but built a position in a zigzag shape, with Zhang Ting's first battalion at the forefront and the second and third battalions on the flanks, and it was the first battalion in the forward position that was engaged with the enemy at this time.
Zhang Ting ordered to the three company commanders beside him: "Commander Lei, order, aim at the target, save bullets, do not empty the gun, if you want to fight, you will put the enemy to death, and immediately upload it to every soldier." β
The soldiers of the position did not expect that they were the only regiment, and they had always been generous in weapons and ammunition in the position, and they did not spare bullets, as long as they could eliminate the little devils, they would try their best to break through the little devils, but the orders handed down were so strict, and the soldiers realized in their hearts that this battle seemed to be fought, and it would not be over in a while and a half, otherwise the bold Regiment Commander Lei would not suddenly spare the bullets and give such an order.
Yes, Lei Jian had to consider the distribution of weapons and ammunition during the campaign, and his 'only regiment' had an arduous task this time, with a location, time, and specific tasks, to block the 581st Wing in Lao Ye Mountain, and to reinforce Zhengtai Road, with a blocking time of 24 hours.
There are still eleven hours before the evacuation time, and I don't know how many times we will have to fight the Japanese wing.
At the beginning, the 'only regiment' was preconceived, occupying the initiative, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to sneak attack the enemy, setting up a maze array to lure the enemy, and laying minefields to bombard the enemy, now these tricks have been used, and the little devil slowly touched the path of the thunder sword, and is gathering to the center with all his might, trying to occupy the superior forces, destroy the blocking position of the 'only regiment', and quickly reinforce Zhengtai Road.
Lei Jian stood on the canopy of the tree, saw the enemy's eleventh brigade, advanced at the fastest speed, and another five hundred meters could converge with the enemy's two brigades, once a joint force was formed, the devil would expand his position and attack the Eighth Route Army.
He frowned, repeatedly checked the layout of the enemy's forces on the battlefield, and if he wanted to break the devil's joint force in a short period of time, he had to .......
Lei Jian suddenly made up his mind, leaned down and shouted to Zhang Ping: "Order Li Gang, who is sticking to the west of Laoye Mountain, to retreat to the mountain peak in order after a fierce battle with the enemy, not to retreat too hastily, pretend to be defeated, retreat while retreating, block the enemy from a hundred meters from the forward position on the western slope of Laoye Mountain, and resolutely implement fire blockade." β
Li Gang received an order, looking at the current situation on the hillside, if he used the most fierce firepower to block the attacking Japanese 16th Brigade, the little devil would never break through the position for a while and a half.
He received the order to feign defeat and retreat to the mountains while fighting, and he had to grasp this key point, so that he could not be detected by the enemy and retreat, nor could he blindly retreat and be shot by the devil's fire.
Li Gang had an idea and ordered the commanders of the first, second, and third companies: "Order the soldiers of each company lined up in the position, and stop firing every other soldier, but make a posture of shooting, gradually weaken the firepower, create a false appearance of rout for the enemy, and immediately retreat while fighting." β
Where have the cavalry battalion soldiers fought such a battle? Now that I have the strength to do it, I could have killed the mountain in one go and defeated the little devil, which is good, but I still have to pretend to be defeated and retreat to the mountain, what kind of battle is this?
On the battlefield, orders are like sticks, and they are better to bend than bend, and every soldier must resolutely carry out the orders given by his superiors, and he must carry out what he understands at the time and those who do not understand, and there is no room for bargaining, and he must never get used to mistakes.
The companies of the cavalry battalion carried out the order step by step, at first they pretended to be defeated, and they were a little pretentious, but later they became more and more experienced, and I stopped if you fired a shot, and I quickly made up a shot if you stopped, and after the gun was released, I quickly retreated to the mountain.
Yamada Nakasa, the captain of the sixteenth Devil's Son, suddenly felt that the Eighth Route Army was deliberately retreating, this arrogant guy, this idea was immediately denied as soon as he appeared.
Yamada believes that the Eighth Route Army, which is guarding the halfway point of Lao Ye Mountain, and the Tuba Road on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, just rely on the situation of flanking the front and rear to carry out the most favorable firepower strikes against his 16th Brigade and 7th Brigade.
He suddenly laughed and said: "Yanxi, the firepower of the Tuba Road has weakened, and it must be that the ammunition has not been replenished in time, so I have to retreat to the mountain, trying to use the mountain peak trench fortifications to block our Imperial Japanese Army." β
Yamada Nakasa brandished his command knife and shouted: "The warriors of the 16th Brigade of the Great Japanese Imperial Army, the bullets of the Tsuchibalu are gone, and they have begun to retreatββγ β
The little devil listened to the commander howling that the troops of the Eighth Route Army were out of bullets, and one by one they were like chicken blood, and they frantically pursued the cavalry battalion retreating to the mountain with a gun.
At this time, Wang Xiaoliang, who was already fighting fiercely with the Japanese army of the enemy's seventh brigade, suddenly found that the Japanese army brigade attacking the mountainside under the mountain rushed to the halfway up the mountain like crazy, and the troops who were holding on to the halfway up the mountain, Wang Xiaoliang did not know which reinforcement of the Eighth Route Army was, and at this time the little devil was attacking and retreating to the mountain.
Wang Xiaoliang not only shouted coldly: "Bastard, you must block the enemy, don't reoccupy the peak of Lao Ye Mountain, quickly stop the enemy at the bottom of the mountain, bastard, stop retreating." β
Just when Wang Xiaoliang was retreating from the battle of the Eighth Route Army team halfway up the Laoye Mountain, which was attacked by the enemy, shouting and cheering, Zhang Ting, the commander of the first battalion, ran to Wang Xiaoliang and made a quick report: "Report to Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, the strength of a brigade of devils has carried out a strong attack on our position, and my first battalion is almost unable to hold on, so quickly transfer the second and third battalions, otherwise it will ......." β
"Or what? No, according to Regiment Commander Lei's order, the 2nd and 3rd battalions cannot take part in the battle for the time being, so as not to expose the position of the main force and be surrounded and suppressed by the enemy's concentrated superior forces. Wang Xiaoliang said and stood up with a bow and rushed to the front of the first battalion.
