Lei Jian looked at the urgent telegram from the commander of Zheng Tie's first battalion on the No. 1 Heights, and he ordered again; Cao Shangui's two companies of the 2nd Battalion and the recruit transport team led by Dong Dayong were ordered to run to the No. 1 and No. 2 heights within 50 minutes, so as to delay the military justice of the fighters.

Cao Shangui received the telegram, and after reading this fiercely worded telegram, he immediately ordered the Sixth Company to stay behind to protect the villagers who were attacking the railway, and the Fourth and Fifth Companies to bring enough weapons and ammunition to reinforce the No. 1 and No. 2 heights at the fastest marching speed.

The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion had exerted too much physical strength to break through the railway, and now they were carrying heavy weapons and ammunition to reinforce the brother company as fast as they could.

Battalion Commander Cao looked at the sweaty soldiers, he was too tired to march forcibly with a load, and the marching speed was slow at this time, so he ran back and forth in front of the team in a hurry, encouraging the soldiers to speed up.

He panted as he ran: "The soldiers of the second battalion, now the high ground held by the first and second battalions, has carried out more than a dozen fierce battles with the enemy in attack and counter-offensive, at this time the casualties are very large, they are almost in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, if we can't arrive in time for reinforcements, the two heights will be broken through by the Japanese army advancing westward, and the devils will drive straight in, which will directly affect the battle of breaking the Deshi Road."

At that time, the whole independent regiment was faced with the battle with the enemy on the frontal battlefield, which would be very disadvantageous to us, in order to resolutely block the enemy outside the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, in order for us to reinforce our brothers' battalions, to show our fastest marching speed, every minute of delay, the brothers on the front line will be a few more heroic, for the sake of victory, let go out, run forward. ”

Under the propaganda and encouragement of Battalion Commander Cao, the soldiers of the second battalion knew that every time they took a step forward, they would gain time to reach the forward position as soon as possible, and if reinforcements were in place, the casualties of their comrades would be reduced on the front line.

Once again, they mustered up their courage and rushed forward.

The soldiers of the first battalion and two companies who were sticking to the No. 1 high ground saw that the little devils rushed up again, and these soldiers with many wounds on their bodies did not care about bandaging them, and there were no medical supplies to bandage, so they let the blood continue to flow out, and the blood of one wound had just stopped drying, and in the fierce battle with the enemy, new wounds were added.

At this time, Niu Dali, the deputy head of the regiment, who was seriously wounded, insisted on climbing to the forward position, and saw the soldiers of the first line of defense, whose clothes were torn to tatters, and the strips of cloth that were torn off were wrapped around the wounds.

He climbed up to a light machine gun, gently pushed away the already strong machine gunner, laboriously leaned against the machine gun, aimed the muzzle at the little devil who pounced, and pulled the trigger sharply, the machine gun was dumb, and there was no reaction at all.

Niu Dali shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Quickly hand me the machine gun bridge clip." ”

"Deputy Commander Niu, there are no bullets left."

Niu Dali heard that there were no bullets, and his heart tightened violently, he knew that on the battlefield, as long as one side of the weapons and ammunition could not be replenished in time, even if the ammunition and food were exhausted ten minutes earlier than the other side, they would be dealt a devastating blow by the other side, and the balance of the battle would be tilted, and victory or defeat would be immediate.

He was shocked by the reply of 'there are no more bullets', and he glanced at the forward position in horror and shouted: "Battalion Commander Zheng, Battalion Commander Zheng, come over to me." ”

Zheng Tie heard Niu Dali shouting at him weakly, he threw out a grenade, quickly ran to Niu Dali's side, and asked urgently: "Deputy Commander Niu, what are you looking for me, say it quickly, the devil is killing again." ”

"Is there really no bullets in the position?"

"Report to Deputy Regiment Commander Niu, there are not many bullets in the troops of the No. 1 position, not even grenades and grenades, if the weapons and ammunition are not replenished in time, it seems that the only way to lead the fighters to rush into the enemy group, fight with bayonets and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, and the final result is to die with the enemy."

Niu Dali heard Zheng Tie say so seriously, he grabbed Zheng Tie's collar and asked, "Have you reported this situation to the regiment headquarters?" Does Regiment Commander Lei know about the situation of positions No. 1 and No. 2? ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Niu, Regiment Commander Lei already knows, he is about two hundred meters away from our No. 1 position, he is now deploying the latest combat plan for the entire attack on Deshi Road, and he has called to inform him that he has ordered two companies of the second battalion to run for reinforcements, and the weapons and ammunition are on the way, and we must hold out until the reinforcements arrive, hey, according to our strength and ammunition, if we can't keep up in time, we can hold out for half an hour at most."

Zheng Tie shook his head as he spoke, and he suddenly shouted: "The little devil broke through the frontline position in the northwest corner, grandma's, Lao Tzu is here, and the little devil who came up must be destroyed." ”

The battle of the No. 1 position was hard, the battle between the two sides for the high ground was very fierce, the battle situation of the No. 2 position and the No. 1 position at this time was no different, the battle scene was tragic and unbearable to witness, the deputy battalion commander Zhang Ting ordered a soldier around him to run down the mountain, and reported the tense situation of the position to Lei Jian, who deployed the combat missions of the troops under the mountain.

After Lei Jian gave the last order, Huo Di stood up and ordered to Zhou Peng, a staff officer beside him: "You lead seven soldiers to reinforce the No. 2 Heights, Director Zhang Ping will leave behind to protect the communication equipment, and the others will get on the horses and quickly reinforce the No. 1 Heights with me." ”

At this moment, Zhang Ping handed Lei Jian a telegram, Lei Jian glanced at it, and ordered Qu Jiaming: "You lead the soldiers to reinforce the No. 1 high ground immediately, and I will arrive later, and immediately carry out the order." ”

Lei Jian looked at the telegram, frowned and said: "Commander Chen of the East Column called to inquire about the battle situation east of Fengzhuang, Zhang Ping, you reply immediately; The No. 1 and No. 2 heights blocked the westward advance of the Japanese 372nd Wing, and the positional battle was very fierce, and now it is still in the fierce battle, the devil stronghold under the Fengzhuang railway station has fierce firepower, and the attack is blocked, and the attack on the Deshi Road east of Fengzhuang is relatively smooth, and the independent regiment guarantees to complete the task. ”

A few minutes later, Commander Chen called; Hold out until dark, the troops withdrew from the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, led the enemy into depth, attacked the enemy on the way back, destroyed the living forces of the Japanese army, bought time, led the enemy into the Peacock Valley, concentrated superior forces, and annihilated this Japanese wing advancing westward.

Lei Jian immediately replied: Resolutely complete the task.

After replying to the telegram to Commander Chen, he jumped up and stood up, the man was already riding on the war horse, and he whipped the war horse fiercely, and the war horse suddenly jumped up, the four hooves soared, and one man and one horse rushed out of the valley and smashed into the smoke and flames of the No. 1 Heights.

The soldiers of the two companies of the first battalion of the No. 1 Heights, seeing that the little devil rushed up, there was not much ammunition in his hand, and he did not dare to shoot indiscriminately, Zheng Tie shouted loudly: "Save bullets, every time you shoot a bullet, you must destroy an enemy, whoever releases the gun is a crime, all aim at me, give me a hard shot." ”

The devil commander who rushed to the front found that the firepower of the forward position of the Eighth Route Army was weakened, and he brandished his command knife and shouted: "There are no bullets in the Eighth Route Army, the warriors of the imperial army of the empire, for the sake of the Great East Asian Holy War, kill and give ——。 ”

The devil found that the firepower of the forward position of the Eighth Route Army was weakened, and his courage suddenly strengthened, and he was originally hunched and trembling and rushing up with his gun, but at this time he straightened his waist and howled and pounced on the front of the No. 1 position.

Zheng Tie faced a large number of Japanese troops who rushed up frantically, and shouted to the soldiers in the position: "Concentrate the grenades and throw them at the devil group, and you must block the enemy outside the forward position and drop bombs." ”

One by one, grenades flew out of the position, dragging the smoke of gunpowder into the enemy group, and the continuous explosion of 'boom, boom', the devils who exploded fled in all directions, and the leader of the devil squad saw that he was about to break through the forward position of the Eighth Route Road again, but he did not expect that the Eighth Route Army still had so many grenades and grenades, and suddenly fell into the offensive formation.

The squad leader who rushed into the enemy group brandished his command knife and roared: "The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire are invincible, and if you take one step further, you will break through the position of the Dirt Eighth Road——。 ”

The devils, who were repelled by grenades and grenades, under the supervision of the commander, reorganized their formation and launched another fierce attack on the positions of the first battalion.

Zheng Tie shouted: "All the grenades and grenades are thrown into the enemy group, as long as the seventeenth attack of the devils is repulsed, the reinforced troops and the transport team transporting weapons and ammunition will rush over and kill——。 ”

There was another indiscriminate bombardment of grenades and grenades, and the bombing devils crawled on the front of the position and carried out a fire counterattack.

Seeing that another round of fierce fire strikes would repel this crazy attack of the devils, suddenly the guns of the Eighth Route Army's position were sparse, and no grenades and grenades flew from the position, and they became quiet, and they were already running out of ammunition and food.
