Xu Liming looked at Commander Wei earnestly, and said almost pleadingly: "Commander, Lei Yunfeng took the disabled 54th Regiment to fight the Japanese puppet army behind the enemy, and now the troops don't know how badly damaged, you just rely on his telegram to risk ordering the 46th Brigade of the Kong Department to launch an attack on the Japanese army before dawn, you are ......." ”

"Chief of Staff Xu, if you take a good look at this telegram from Lei Yunfeng, you will know why I took the risk of ordering the 46th Brigade of the Kong Department to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army on the Dongyuan defense line at 3:40 a.m. as agreed by Lei Yunfeng."

"I don't read the telegram from this little bastard, now my Dongyuan defense line is in danger, even if a regiment of reinforcements can hold the position and repel the enemy's repeated attacks, it is already very difficult.

Now that he is going to take the risk of launching an active attack on the powerful Japanese army, I think this is looking for death. Big brother, if you want to defend the Dongyuan defensive line, I ask to lead a battalion to rush over for reinforcements, and be sure to block the attacking enemy outside the position. ”

"Liming, not only is the Dongyuan defense line in danger now, but also the defense line of Yongji and Fenglingdu is also the top priority, now a battalion is being sent to reinforce the Dongyuan defense line led by you, do you think it is feasible?"

"Commander Wei, even if you can't draw a battalion from the Yongji and Fenglingdu defense lines to reinforce the Dongyuan defense line to defend Dongyuan, you can't be tossed blindly by the 54th Regiment and the 46th Brigade of Kongbu, the bastard Lei Yunfeng, I will rush to Dongyuan immediately and personally command."

"No, absolutely not, the Yongji and Fenglingdu defense lines are the defensive positions you have deployed, once you leave, who will be responsible for the local command and the adjustment of the forces on the entire Zhongtiao Mountain West Front?"

Chief of Staff Xu Liming became even more irritated by what Commander Wei said, and not only shouted loudly: "Commander Wei, even if I can't rush to the Dongyuan Defense Line to take command of the battle, I must not let Lei Yunfeng, a little white face, lead the nose away." ”

While Commander Wei and Chief of Staff Xu were arguing, the communications staff officer of the Telecommunications Office ran over and handed over a telegram: "Report to the commander and chief of staff, Lei Yunfeng has sent an urgent telegram again, and specified that the six members of the supervision team will guarantee that as long as the plan he proposes is used to launch the fiercest attack on the Japanese army on the Dongyuan defensive line, he will definitely win a complete victory." Once the battle is lost, the six members of the supervision team are willing to accept military justice. ”

When Chief of Staff Xu heard what the communications staff officer said, he was so frightened that he shouted to Commander Wei again: "Commander, Lei Yunfeng vouched for the heads of six members of the supervision team of the Military Command Department, and it sounded good, once the attack on the Japanese army was defeated, it would be the lives of thousands of Guanzhong Leng Wa, even if they were killed, it would be difficult to ......." ”

Commander Wei frowned, and suddenly turned back to the director of the telecommunications department and said: "Su Peng, immediately follow my order to the 46th Brigade of the Kong Department and the 54th Regiment of Lei Yunfeng, and launch the most fierce attack on the attacking enemy on the Dongyuan defense line at 3:40 at dawn. ”

"Commander, commander, you can't do this, you are doing this by ignoring thousands of Guanzhong Lengwa brothers, and you are being ...... by this kid of Lei Yunfeng."

"Say no more, carry out the order immediately." With a wave of his hand, Commander Wei decisively interrupted Chief of Staff Xu Liming to continue shouting, this time he completely pinned his hopes for defending the Dongyuan defense line on Lei Yunfeng.

Lei Yunfeng ordered Su Xiaoyan to send two urgent telegrams to Commander Wei of the Zhongtiao Shanxi Route Army in succession, and finally waited for the call back.

Without Commander Wei's reply, he would never dare to risk the 54th Regiment, and if it were not for the firepower of the 46th Brigade of Kongbu, he would have launched a desperate attack on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing, and he did not dare to guarantee whether the 54th Regiment would succeed in sneaking up on the enemy from behind.

If the sneak attack fails, it will not only put the 54th Regiment to death, but also send the eight transport convoys loaded with weapons, ammunition, food and medicine, as well as important military supplies that have been captured with great difficulty, to the point of no return.

At this time, Lei Yunfeng was supported by Commander Wei, and he was not only full of pride.

While the 13th Battalion of the 54th Regiment, which was ambushed in Gumoling, launched the maximum firepower attack on the Noda Squadron, which had stopped the attack and was waiting for reinforcements at the foot of the mountain, the 14th and 15th Battalions on both flanks suddenly outflanked the Noda Squadron at the foot of the mountain under the cover of night.

As the leader of the Ikawa squadron of the 71st Brigade of the Yuhe Shiba Wing of the Kansan Hizhong Wing on the Dongyuan Front, he was ambushed twice by the small unit of Shina during the march. 120

Although it did not cause a large number of casualties to the troops, it was very risky to continue to advance in the darkness of the night, and if it was ambushed by the Shina large force again, the Ikawa squadron, which was not good at night fighting, would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Squadron Commander Ikawa ordered the troops to suspend their advance, occupy favorable terrain and camp, and sent three search teams to reconnoiter and alert to ensure the safety of the camping troops.

Less than half an hour after the Japanese reinforcements stopped advancing and camped in the open air, a fierce gunfire suddenly sounded in the area of Gumoling in the northwest, and Squadron Leader Ikawa immediately became alert and believed that the small Japanese troops who had penetrated deep behind the enemy line must have been surrounded by the imperial army.

In order to eliminate this small force of the Ikawa squadron that had ambushed the Ikawa squadron twice, the commander of the Ikawa squadron decisively ordered the troops to gather immediately, rush to Gumoling as quickly as possible, and join the imperial army troops attacking the small force of the incumbent on the Sinona, and destroy all the enemies who infiltrated the rear.

The Ikawa squadron left the campsite with favorable terrain and soon came to the road leading to Gumoling, and advanced quickly along the road, and if they did not encounter the enemy on the way, they should have arrived at Gumoling in forty minutes.

At this time, the Noda squadron, which was waiting for reinforcements at the foot of Gumoling Mountain, was bitten by mosquitoes and poisonous snakes in the first half of the night and did not get a good rest.

In order to eliminate this small force in the rear, Chief of Staff Kameda personally led the Noda squadron to chase all the way to the bottom of the Gumo Ridge, but fell into the ambush circle carefully set up by the 54th Regiment deployed by Leiyun Peak.

After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, the little devils of the Noda squadron are now extremely sleepy, and the Japanese soldiers are like they have become addicted to smoking, and they almost lie on the ground with their guns crooked.

Just when Chief of Staff Kameda was anxiously waiting for reinforcements, not only did he not wait for reinforcements, but waited for the 54th Regiment to suddenly launch the most ferocious firepower.

Moreover, this Zhina unit lurking in the rear turned out to be a fierce journey with excellent weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was stronger than that of any Zhina army.

The Noda squadron, which was suddenly hit by heavy fire, did not have time to get the commander's order to counterattack, so it very skillfully lay down on the spot and used the favorable terrain to carry out a fire counterattack against the 54th Regiment occupying Gumo Ridge.

All of a sudden, an unusually fierce battle unfolded in Gumo Ridge.

The squadron leader Ikawa, who led the reinforcements, quickly advanced towards Gumo Ridge, and when he heard the gunfire coming from Gumo Ridge becoming more and more intense, he not only scolded arrogantly:

"A group of stupid pigs of the Chinese army who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they dare to sneak into the rear of the Imperial Japanese Army to carry out a sneak attack, and now they are surrounded by my powerful Imperial Army troops in Gumoling, and they will definitely be killed."

He drew his command knife and shouted: "Speed up the march towards Gumo Ridge, and you must eliminate the small force that attacked my Igawa squadron twice in Gumo Ridge." ”

The Japanese soldiers of the Ikawa squadron, when they heard that they were going to reinforce Gumoling and eliminate the small Chinese troops that had suffered casualties from the two sneak attacks, rushed to Gumoling one by one like chickens.

Just as the Ikawa squadron was advancing rapidly, and there were still 1,000 meters away from Gumoling, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves from the front.

At first, it was faintly heard, but as a cavalry team approached quickly, the sound of horses stepping on the ground became clearer and clearer.

The Japanese soldiers of the Ikawa squadron heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the front, and couldn't help but shout excitedly: "It must be the cavalry of the Imperial Japanese Army, I don't know ......." ”
