The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment saw the regiment commander pick up the rifle with a bayonet, and knew that the most critical time had come, as long as they could still move, they clenched the rifle with a bayonet like the regiment commander and lay down in the trench, waiting for a final fight with the enemy.

At this time, Li Yong was leading the special battalion to advance quickly towards Changgao Mountain, everyone was very anxious, knowing that their second regiment was not in a good situation, not to mention that the personnel were scarce, and the ammunition under Yulin City was almost consumed, how could the second regiment that had not been replenished block the enemy's attack.

Fortunately, the special service battalion marched mainly on horses, the speed was much faster than before, the war horses were always trotting, and when it was getting dark, they finally arrived near Changgao Mountain, and when they were still a few kilometers away from the position, they heard the gunfire becoming more and more intense, the explosion of grenades was like fried beans, and the explosion of heavy artillery was also clamped from time to time, Li Yong let the troops speed up.

The fighters also knew that the situation was urgent, and the speed of the march was immediately raised. When I arrived a few hundred meters behind the position, I saw the health center of the Second Regiment, and saw the corpses of our soldiers and the wounded placed together, the health guards kept busy back and forth, the sacrificed soldiers were carried to the side of the open space one by one, and the corpses covered with white cloth were placed in a large area.

Li Jiangguo, Ma Quanyou, and other veterans of the Second Regiment saw that the main force of the regiment suffered such heavy casualties, and their eyes were red. Li Jiangguo shouted: "Battalion commander, let's go up." ”

Li Yong ignored Li Jiangguo and asked a hygienist, "How is the situation?" The hygienist was about to burst into tears when he saw Li Yong and the soldiers of the special service battalion.

The hygienist wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand: "Battalion Commander Li, it's great that you are here, I don't know the specific situation, anyway, this time our regiment has suffered a big loss, a big loss, the casualties are too great, and the ammunition is about to run out, and the wounded I heard say that they are already going to fight with the enemy with bayonets, and even our regiment commander has picked up a rifle." The hygienist who spoke to Li Yong was dripping and dripping.

As soon as the hygienist finished speaking, Li Jiangguo, Ma Quanyou, Ma Changsheng, Ning Jinshan, Gao Xiang, Wei Gang, Zhang Jinsong, including the most calm Wang Laohu, were all mixed up, these people were the combat backbone of the second regiment, for them, the second regiment was like their own home, even the instructor Wang Chengde lost his calm, pulled out the shell gun in his waist, and the third platoon commander Ma Changsheng yelled: "Battalion commander, instructor, let's quickly send a little troops up." ”

Li Yong asked the messenger to go up the mountain to inform the regiment commander that the special battalion had arrived, and that Regiment Commander Zhao and the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment, who were preparing to fight the enemy with bayonets on the position, were relieved to see the arrival of the special battalion behind the mountain, knowing that the 1st, 23rd Brigade would not be able to get through.

Li Yong and Wang Chengde let the troops hide and standby, and he and Wang Chengde led the police to the position, and Commander Zhao grabbed Li Yong: "Dayong, Chengde, you are here, it's too timely." ”

Li Yong and Wang Chengde saluted the regiment commander and hurriedly asked how the situation was, and the regimental commander Zhao put the rifle with a bayonet in his hand on the ground, spit out the dirt in his mouth and said: "What else, from the morning to the present, we have repelled seventeen battalion-level charges in a row, and the enemy also knows that if we can't rush over, it will be over, so it's crazy, our regiment has suffered a lot of casualties, and now there are only more than 500 people left, and the ammunition has run out, if you don't come again, you will have to fight with the enemy with bayonets." ”

Then he pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "You see, the enemy is organizing a new charge. Li Yong knew that the casualties of the troops were very large, but he didn't expect that there were only more than 500 people left in the main force of the regiment, and the casualties were too great, there were still more than 1,300 people in Hengxian County, and the casualties were almost two-thirds in less than a month.

At the command post of the enemy's 123rd Brigade under the mountain, brigade commander Liu Ziqi said to an officer beside him: "It's getting dark, and as soon as it gets dark, the communist army will be in the world. ”

At this time, an officer ran over: "Brigade commander, our shells are finished." Liu Ziqi: "What is it when the shells are finished, the communist army has even finished shooting stones, what do I think they will use against us this time?" I don't believe that these communists can still bite us with their teeth? ”

After speaking, he walked to the front of the assembled team: "Brothers, today we can only survive if we rush out to meet with the main force of the division, the communist army has no bullets, no grenades, no stones, not many people, this charge is the last charge of our brigade, regardless of the battalion and regiment, all must rush forward, this time I will charge with you, brothers, we just need to rush over, everyone will be promoted to three ranks, ten oceans." ”

Li Yong, who was on the mountain, carefully observed it with a telescope for a while, and said to Regiment Commander Zhao: "Regiment Commander, you let the comrades take a rest, this time look at our battalion." ”

Then he said to Li Yuming: "Inform the troops, let the first and second platoons make a detour from the left side, and the third and fourth platoons make a detour from the right side, attack from behind the enemy's buttocks, and pull up the fifth platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, the machine gun platoon, the artillery platoon, and the baggage platoon." ”

There was not much time, and the soldiers of the fifth platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, the machine gun platoon, the artillery platoon, and the baggage platoon entered the position of our army on the top of the mountain, and the remaining soldiers on the position of the second regiment were very surprised when they saw He Cuihua of the special service battalion.

Seeing that the soldiers had entered the position, Li Yong turned to Commander Zhao and said: "Commander, I want to fight bigger, it's getting dark, it seems that the enemy is going to make a desperate bet, I will put five platoons on the top of the mountain, and the remaining four platoons will fight from behind the enemy's buttocks, and strive to completely solve this enemy this time, and the regiment will lend the trumpeters to our battalion." ”

This is the first time Li Yong has fought under the nose of the regiment commander, he used to make his own decisions, but now that the regiment commander is here, of course he has to ask for instructions.

Regiment Commander Zhao knew that the platoon of the special service battalion was as large as other troop companies, not to mention the firepower. After seeing the heavy machine guns and small artillery of the special service battalion arranged, he also muttered in his heart: "The tone is not small, and the enemy must be solved at one time, this 123rd Brigade is the main force of the enemy, not a local miscellaneous tofu bag, can it be solved at one time?" ”

However, the special service battalion is really rich, no wonder the cadres of other battalions are red-eyed. Hearing that Li Yong wanted to borrow a soldier, he immediately said: "Okay, I will lend you all the soldiers of our regiment, and you will command this battle, and I will watch the excitement with the political commissar on the side, and it will depend on how your special service battalion fights this battle." ”

At this time, the enemy under the mountain had already rushed towards the main position, the personnel were densely packed, and Huang Whoo could not see the formation and formation clearly, Li Yong knew that the 123rd Brigade had been blocked by the 2nd Regiment for a day, and now it was about to get dark, and this was going to be desperate.
