According to the instructions of the Eighth Route Army's Mountain Column Headquarters, on the basis of the independent battalions of the five detachments, the independent battalions of the old five detachments were combined and the independent regiment of the detachment was established.
Luo Jinchuan, who was walking in the team of cadres heading to Santougu, was amused when he thought of Lei Jian, a half-grown child, and felt funny, especially when he heard that in Songzhuang, in the battle against the 13th Brigade of the Devil, Lei Jian's outstanding performance, Luo Jinchuan admired this stinky boy even more.
Political Commissar Gao patted Luo Jinchuan on the shoulder and asked: "Lao Luo, you are the deputy commander of the 14th Regiment and the battalion commander of the old independent battalion, and now you want to have a mountain baby with you. Haha, now this stinky boy has become a tiger general who kills the enemy, and he will work with you to build a team, as his political commissar, do you have an idea? โ
"Hey, hey. Commissar Gao, I won't tell you, Lei Jian also grew up with you, I didn't expect this stinky boy to be born to kill the enemy and tiger generals, I just heard that I partnered with this little kid to lead a newly formed independent regiment, I really couldn't believe it. โ
"Lao Luo, I just want to remind you that the current Thunder Sword is not the Thunder Sword of a few months ago, the war has honed him very maturely, every time he fights big or small, as long as he leads the troops to participate in the battle, there will be different results."
Political Commissar Gao paused as he spoke, looked at the mountains in front of him, and then said: "I'm not exaggerating the personal role of this kid Lei Jian, but I'm preaching that the army he leads can fight a good battle, no matter how hard, dangerous, and bad the battle, this half-old kid can lead the troops to charge forward, and the little devil who stirs up trouble is not at peace, either stubbornly waiting for help, or hastily withdrawing the troops." โ
Luo Jinchuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, what the high political commissar said I agree with in my heart, just when the Kameda United swept Wang Jiaji, if it weren't for this newborn calf's little thunder sword who was not afraid of tigers, he repeatedly sneaked up the enemy's arsenal, blew up the devil's artillery position, seized the Japanese tank, drove the tank into the enemy group, and the devil was hard to take care of, and our base area would be greatly damaged in the enemy's sweep, and our independent regiment would probably no longer exist." โ
While the two were talking, more than a dozen cadres and a guard squad soldier led by Political Commissar Gao were getting closer and closer to Tieshan Mountain.
In front is the towering and precipitous Tie Sao Mountain, the main peak of the Tie Sao Mountain with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, the east cliff cliff, the south and north slopes are steep, only the west slope is gentle, the road that can go up the mountain is rugged and winding, the left side is the ditch and the south side is the cliff, this difficult path can only walk three people horizontally, and only one person can pass through the narrow place.
From the relatively gentle western slope, along the rugged and winding mountain road, to the top of the Iron Mountain, there is a path for goats and hunters to walk, from a hidden place on the east side of the mountain, very careful to descend to the east slope of the mountain, so that it will be less than a dozen miles to walk than around the Iron Mountain.
Under the guidance of the guide, a team of more than 20 people stood at the foot of Tiesan Mountain, and the guide turned around and asked: "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, should we bypass Tiesao Mountain, or do we turn over?" โ
Commissar Gao said decisively: "Fellow, in order to save time and safety on the road, go over Tiesao Mountain." โ
In order to have the physical strength to climb the mountain, the team sat at the bottom of the mountain to rest, and suddenly a team appeared from the south, and from a distance, a black and yellow variegated team rushed over.
Political Commissar Gao picked up the binoculars and said in a nervous voice: "It's not good, there are about six or seven hundred enemy puppet troops, and they are rushing towards us." โ
Luo Jinchuan asked anxiously: "Political Commissar Gao, what kind of army is this?" How did it end up here? We didn't receive any information in advance, huh? โ
Commissar Gao calmly ordered: "The enemy has discovered us, hurry up and under the guidance of the guide, quickly climb the mountain and pass through Tiesao Mountain." โ
When the guide saw the black and yellow enemy puppet army rushing from the south, he was so frightened that his legs and stomach were about to turn around, but he still walked quickly along the rugged and winding path up the mountain, running trembling all over, and shouted in a low voice: "Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, we have few people, quickly retreat to the mountain." โ
The little devil found a small army of Tuba Road and was running towards the mountain, and the commander of the devil brandished his command knife and shouted arrogantly: "Yexi, I secretly entered the base area of Tuba Road this time, and I will first encounter a small force of Tuba Road, and order the troops to rush up quickly and wipe out all the Tuba Road." โ
The enemy puppet army howled and pounced on the foot of Tieshan Mountain, along the rugged and winding path, and shouted loudly while firing: "Tubalu, stop and surrender quickly, and the imperial army will not kill the guns." โ
The guard squad leader scolded: "Bastard, lie to the ghost, Lao Tzu will not surrender even if he dies in battle." โ
He ordered the soldiers: "The head of the fire cover detachment retreats to the top of the hill, every soldier must save bullets, no one is allowed to shoot without accuracy, no one can empty the gun, do you hear it?" โ
The fighters of the guard squad replied loudly: "I heard it." โ
Although the squad leader gave such a stern order, even he himself knew that his guard squad, even his eleven soldiers, two 38 big covers in the squad, and the other soldiers were all earthen guns in their hands, not to mention, the most headache for the soldiers was that each person was given too few bullets.
In an ordinary company, each soldier is given four bullets, three are fired in battle, and one is reserved to rush into the enemy group to fight, and shoot and kill the little devils who fight with them at the critical moment.
As long as the Eighth Route Army launched a charge and fought into the enemy group to fight for bayonets, it was only when the bullets were out that it had to enter the enemy group, trying to eliminate a few more little devils.
This time, the senior political commissar took it with him to protect the guard squad of more than a dozen cadres, and in order to be safe on the road and avoid encountering the enemy, each soldier issued a few more bullets, and in this way, each person was less than 20, and the squad leader was soft and hard, and he made up enough 20 bullets.
At this time, when encountering the attack of six or seven hundred enemy puppet troops, not to mention the disparity in strength, it is the same force to face the battle, in the case of unequal weapons, ammunition, and the ability of the troops to respond to the battle, plus the combat quality is very different from that of the devil, there is no chance of winning at all.
The weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army are so inferior that they are called 'Dirt Eighth Road' by the little devils.
Luo Jinchuan has always been fighting on the front line, he knows the importance of every bullet to the soldiers and troops, he saw the more than a dozen cadres who followed, all of them were short guns, he looked anxious, and said earnestly to the high political commissar: "Gao political commissar, I will lead the guard squad to cover behind, you quickly retreat to the top of Tieshan Mountain with other cadres, it will be too late to delay." โ
Political Commissar Gao smiled lightly and shook his head: "Lao Luo, today's battle will be very dangerous, not to mention a guard squad, even if it is a regiment of our five detachments, it will not be able to stop the attack of the enemy puppet army." โ
He ordered all the cadres and soldiers: "We are the Eighth Route Army, we can't just disappear into the crazy attack of the little devils, we must quickly break through to the top of Tie Shan Mountain at the lowest cost." โ
This enemy puppet army brigade that suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army was Captain Hideshige Oshima, commander of the Japanese army in Yecheng, who led more than 500 little devils to dispatch a battalion of puppet troops from Ye and Lai, and secretly sneaked out of the city the night before and entered the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army in the Daze Mountains in an attempt to clear the villages occupied by the Eighth Route Army in the base area and strangle the people who supported the resistance against Japan.
Captain Hideshige Oshima, in the last Guojiadian, was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, suffered heavy casualties, and was scolded by General Shusuke Hoshino, the commander of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
This bastard felt that he had lost face, and he must lead his troops to sneak into the base of the Eighth Route Army and carry out the most barbaric massacre to avenge the humiliation of Guojiadian's defeat.
At this time, the leader of the devil squad Murano, who was standing beside him, asked: "Your Excellency Oshima, the Tsuchibachi Road has fled along the rugged mountain road to the Iron Mountain, the Iron Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the large army of the Imperial Army is not easy to climb the mountain to exterminate, is it ......." โ
"Bastard, the attack on Guojiadian by Tubalu, where are more than 100 soldiers of my imperial army killed by Tubalu, mine wants to avenge the imperial warriors of the jade shatter, order the troops, as quickly as possible, destroy this small army of Tubalu, and kill โโใ" Captain Hideshige Oshima brandished his command knife and shouted at the Eighth Route Army that was retreating towards Tiesao Mountain.
