The commander of the Katayama Brigade shouted to the chief of staff of Noda beside him: "Order the artillery squadron of the Imperial Japanese Army, shell the position of the mountain peak and earth eight roads, and order the troops to launch the fiercest attack." ”

Twenty-four enemy fighters in the air, like crazy wild dogs in the air, soon arrived over the position of the Eighth Route Army in the west mountain of the military city, and the three fighters flying in front flew at an ultra-low altitude, and when they flew overhead, they dropped three bombs and exploded in the position.

Before the smoke and flames of the bomb explosion could disperse, the three fighters that followed closely behind swept towards the position with tongues of flame.

Ma Ming, deputy commander of the regiment, who was holding the position in Xishan, immediately ordered the troops to quickly conceal when he found a large number of enemy fighters roaring over, and two waves of six fighters swept over the position, and the position was bombed by the debris shrapnel, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who swept towards the position did not wait to raise their heads from concealment, and were strafed by the aerial fire of the enemy fighters, and the troops were hit by aerial fire, and the position suffered casualties.

The 18 fighters behind did not drop bombs, bomb and strafe, but flew at a low altitude and flew straight to the main position of the Eighth Route Army in the north mountain of the military city.

When Li Gang saw six fighter planes bombing the position held by Ma Ming and his troops in Xishan, the position burst into gunsmoke and flames, and eighteen enemy planes flew directly towards Beishan, he decisively ordered: "Pay attention to concealment and quickly withdraw from the position." ”

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who held their positions, quickly withdrew from their positions under the cover of trenches and communication trenches and withdrew to the west slope of the mountain.

Eighteen warplanes roared over the Beishan position, dropping more than a dozen bombs, the explosive power of more than a dozen bombs, earth-shattering, the entire mountain peak was shrouded in gunpowder smoke and flames, the Eighth Route Army's position was exposed to the enemy's aerial firepower, looking at it from afar, the entire mountain peak was no longer visible, all was full of fireworks.

Six enemy fighters continued to bomb and fire from the air to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army in Xishan, while 18 fighters clung to the position in Beishan, dived several times and dropped bombs, then pulled up the nose of the plane, and circled to carry out bombing and aerial fire strikes again.

The positions held by the Duyi Regiment and the Fifth Regiment in the West and North Mountains of the military city were shot up by the smoke of the bombardment by the enemy planes, and before one wave had dispersed, another wave followed.

In the continuous bombing and aerial fire strikes, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the trenches suffered heavy casualties, some positions were destroyed, and some light and heavy weapons were blown away. Some soldiers were still hiding in the trenches a second ago, and when the smoke of gunpowder faded, they saw that the section of the trench where the soldiers were hidden had become a large pit of irregular depths, and the soldiers had disappeared.

The positions of the Eighth Route Army on the west and north hills of the military city were indiscriminately bombed by Japanese air fighters for more than 10 minutes, and the mountain peaks were cut off by more than 50 centimeters.

Ten minutes passed, and all the ammunition carried by the enemy fighters was dropped on the position of the Eighth Route Army, and when the enemy planes had completed their bombing mission and flew out of the air, before the soldiers of the 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment could rush to the position, the commander of the Katayama Brigade ordered the heavy firepower brigade to pour a large number of shells on the Beishan position with the most fierce artillery, mortars, and grenadiers.

Waves of artillery fire, in the smoke and flames that have not yet dissipated, add new explosion points.

The tactics adopted by the enemy commander were to immediately order artillery fire to destroy the important firepower and strength of the Eighth Route Army's position on the mountain peak when the fighters returned after the aerial bombardment and fire strike, in an attempt to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army holding the position under the powerful bomb and artillery fire, and the ground troops would launch an attack and easily break through the Eighth Route Army's position and occupy the Beishan peak.

The 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment suffered heavy casualties under the heavy fire of the Japanese air and ground artillery, and the entire mountain position and trenches were completely destroyed.

Li Gang stood up from the smoke and flames, and carefully checked the movements of the Japanese army under the mountain with a telescope, and when he found that a large number of devils under the mountain were like locusts frantically attacking the mountain peak, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He shouted violently: "All the soldiers of the One Regiment and the Fifth Regiment, enter the trenches as fast as possible, no, the trenches have been destroyed by enemy fighters and artillery fire, and their respective combat units, quickly find the craters and concealments, and immediately enter the combat state." ”

Under the enemy's heavy air fire and ground artillery fire, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Regiment, which held the front to block the enemy, were also the main targets of the Japanese army because they were on the top of the mountain. The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 5th Regiment on both flanks were hidden 30 meters below the mountain peaks, and they avoided the fierce fire of air fighters and ground artillery fire to some extent, and suffered fewer casualties.

Li Gang checked the casualties of the troops in each position, and found that the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Regiment in the frontal position suffered 153 casualties, one heavy machine gun, and four light machine guns.

The positions on the left and right flanks held by the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 5th Regiment suffered 46 casualties and 14 rifles.

The commander of the Katayama Brigade, the commander of the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain, was determined to use the Japanese air fighters and ground artillery fire to carry out a frantic fire attack on the positions of the 1st Regiment and the 5th Regiment in cooperation with each other, destroy the positions of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, eliminate the living forces, and clear the passage to break through the positions of the Eighth Route Army for the immediate attack.

As soon as Li Gang gave the order for all units to enter the forward positions, they launched the most ferocious fire attack on the attacking enemy.

Standing at the forefront of the frontal position, he said to Zhang Ting, who had just been promoted as the deputy commander of the only regiment: "Deputy Commander Zhang, the task of blocking the enemy head-on will be entrusted to you, and I will take a small unit and see the ......." ”

"Commander Li, now the situation in the entire position is sinister, and it is the only regiment and the fifth regiment that are fighting together, you are the supreme commander, you left the command position without authorization, once there is a problem with the cooperation of the two regiments, what do you tell me to do?

Besides, you are the regiment commander, you should stick to the command post, and leave the task of attacking and containing the enemy to me, you can't take any more risks, Commander Lei ....... ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, don't talk nonsense, Commander Lei Jian will always be with us, you have to remember to me that in the battle with the Fifth Regiment, each of them kills devils in different positions, as long as they can make up their minds to fight the enemy, there is nothing incongruous."

Li Gang turned around and left, and suddenly turned around and shouted to Zhang Ting: "Deputy Regiment Commander Zhang, as long as you feel that Commander Lei Jian is by your side and command calmly, you can defeat the enemy, take care." ”

He had barely taken a few steps out when he heard a fierce burst of gunfire from the position behind him.

A large number of little devils rushed to the Beishan position with a howl under the supervision of the commander, and when the vanguard entered the ambush positions on both flanks of the fifth regiment, Commander Pang ordered in a low voice: "Put the enemy closer, and then give me a hard fight." ”

The enemy has a squadron, more than 50 meters away from the positions on both flanks, and the commander of the first battalion next to him sees that the enemy is getting closer and closer, he has never put the enemy so close before fighting, and nervously pleaded: "Commander Pang, quickly give the order to strike at the enemy, the enemy is too close, once the blocking is unfavorable, the little devil will break through our position, ...... quickly." ”

Zhang Ting was lying on the front of the front position, and saw that the attacking devils were getting closer and closer to the positions of the Fifth Regiment on the two flanks under the mountain, and had not yet carried out a firepower attack, so he not only nodded and praised: "Commander Pang, good job, put this group of mongrels a little closer, good, good, give me a hard beat." ”

He found that the enemy who was rushing in front was about 40 meters away from the frontal position and less than 30 meters away from the positions on both flanks.

Zhang Ting stood up suddenly, pulled the trigger with a machine gun and shouted: "The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in all positions, with the most ferocious firepower and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, bravely kill devils and devils——。 ”

'Kill the devil-', 'Kill the devil-'......

The entire military city Beishan Eighth Route Army position, burst out of the mountain shaking the mountains shouting and bursting guns, the soldiers saw the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms, indignant screams pulled the trigger, with the fiercest firepower, swept towards the attacking enemy.

The devils who rushed in front were suddenly hit by fierce fire, and they were shot and fell down one after another, rolling down the mountain, and they would never have thought until they died that their commander had deceived them, deceived them that the Eighth Route Army had been dropped by fighter planes and ground artillery fire, and the blow had completely lost its ability to resist.

The Japanese commander ordered the little devil to rush to the position of the Eighth Route Army with a courageous spirit, and killed the remaining Eighth Route Army. But the devil fell for their bastard commander, but he didn't expect the Eighth Route Army in the mountain peak position to be so powerful in firepower, and he was killed in the crazy attack.
