The Japanese advanced westward with the 3rd Division as the main force, but were met with stubborn resistance from Luo Zhuoying's 15th Army, while Xue Yue's 19th Group was often reinforced from the rear to reinforce the 15th Army. However, Hu Zongnan's First Army responded to the fierce battle between the 15th Army and the Japanese 11th Division, and suffered heavy casualties

On the 16th, the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army ordered the 57th Division to attack the north bank of Yunzaobang to contain the strength of the Japanese 11th Division, while the Japanese 11th Division attacked the position of the 1st Army along the Baoliu Highway.

The 1st Division, which was guarding the side of the West Hutai Highway in Yanghang Town, became the focus of the enemy's attack. The commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Li Tiejun, decided to attack the Japanese at night. That night, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment set out to attack, but was discovered by the Japanese and was subjected to heavy shelling.

On the 17th, the Japanese covered the positions of the 1st Division with intensive artillery fire, which did not stop until 4 p.m. The Japanese then attacked the positions of the 3rd Regiment. After being counterattacked by the 3rd Regiment, it was defeated, but the Japanese moved to the position of the 4th Regiment to storm fiercely, and the 4th Regiment lost the initial battle.

The regiment commander, Colonel Li Youmei, immediately counterattacked and recaptured the position of Wang's house. Subsequently, more than 600 Japanese troops attacked again, and captured Wang's house for the second time. The 4th Regiment counterattacked again and recaptured the Wang's house for the second time. On September 18, the Japanese army attacked again, and the two sides fought fiercely until about 17 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Japanese army captured Wang's house for the third time.

At this time, Ye Lei was hurrying to the nearest 4th regiment defense area to save his three team members. However, the 4th Regiment was already scarred by several days of bloody fighting, and the wounded soldiers were overwhelming.

"What people!? Password! ”

The sentinels of the outlying forces quickly spotted them and raised their guns one after another. This is the front line, and now the units are in a state of first-level combat readiness, and those who cannot give the order can be killed on the spot.

Ye Lei shouted: "Don't shoot, friendly 88th Division, my name is Ye Lei!" ”

The sentry shouted, "Stand still and shoot!" ”

"!" Ye Lei is already anxious, and if he delays for one more minute, his team members will be more dangerous.

The troops of the follow-up platoon quickly stepped forward, ready to collect Ye Lei's weapons, and then Ye Lei's documents were out, and shouted: "See clearly!" ”

"It's really Ye Lei himself."

"It's the god of war as the newspaper says."

“……”

The surrounding soldiers put down their guns one after another, and a platoon commander stepped forward to take a closer look at his documents, and said suspiciously: "You are really Ye Lei, why did you run to the northern line?" ”

Ye Lei said anxiously: "I don't have time to explain, where is your field hospital, I have three team members who need surgery soon!" ”

The platoon commander looked at the people behind him, and there were indeed three seriously wounded who were being carried on stretchers improvised by tree branches, so he ordered: "Come on, take them to the field hospital." ”

A squad of soldiers took Ye Lei and his party to the rear field hospital, and the platoon commander felt that the matter was important and immediately reported to the regiment headquarters.

The 1st Division Field Hospital is located in a vacant lot on the north bank of Onzohama. Although it was already the middle of the night, it was still brightly lit. Thousands of wounded and sick were transported from the front, and even if the military doctors had three heads and six arms, it was impossible for them to treat so many wounded one by one.

A large number of lightly wounded people could only wait outside the camp or on the road in the middle of the camp, and the nurses were already busy, but there were still many wounded waiting in the emptiness.

As for the seriously injured, those responsible can only arrange them to wait for surgery according to their severity. The battle was so tragic that some of the seriously wounded could not be treated in time and died before waiting for surgery.

When Ye Lei came to this field field hospital, he was shocked by the thousands of wounded, which shows what kind of battle the 1st Division has experienced.

"Doctor! Doctor! ”

Ye Lei and Li Hu led the team members on a rampage, attracting the attention of the wounded and nurses around them.

"Who are you, dare to shout here!"

A lieutenant colonel came with more than a dozen guards to stop him, Ye Lei had already changed back into his military uniform, but he was a major.

Ye Lei stared wide-eyed, his facial muscles tensed, and said with a medium breath: "I am Ye Lei of 88, and now there are 3 team members who are seriously injured and must be treated immediately!" ”

The lieutenant colonel said: "Ye Lei, you are Ye Lei, what about the documents?" ”

Ye Lei hurriedly took out his documents and said anxiously: "I don't have time, find the best doctor quickly!" ”

After reading it, the lieutenant colonel said: "It's really Ye Lei, the god of war of the 88th Division, why did you come here?" ”

"I don't have time to explain, I'm looking for the soldiers from the doctor for treatment!"

Ye Lei was a little disrupted, and his team members must not have anything to do, the lieutenant colonel said: "No." We can heal it, but we have to do it in order. There are only a limited number of doctors, and there are many seriously injured people waiting for surgery. ”

Li Hu suddenly took out a pistol, pointed at the lieutenant colonel, and shouted: "Save our people first!" ”

The surrounding people gathered around, many of the wounded were still waiting, and many comrades-in-arms had died because they could not get timely treatment. They were angry at the savagery of the friendly troops, and the lieutenant colonel was even more furious when he was held in the head by a non-commissioned officer, and said loudly: "Damn, your soldiers of the 88th Division are fatal, but the soldiers of our 1st Division are not fatal!?" Don't forget that this is the field hospital of the 1st Division! Are the lives of your soldiers more valuable than our gold!? ”

"Yes!" Ye Lei was also anxious, and shouted: "My soldier's life is gold!" The four of you kill one devil, and my soldiers kill 40 devils alone! ”

The scene once entered a stalemate, here is the other party's chassis, Ye Lei has no better way.

"Li Hu, put down the gun." Ye Lei tried his best to calm himself down and said, "My soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, and every life is very valuable. Each of them has killed at least 50 devils, not to mention other combat exploits, helping the 14th Division to attack and successfully attack Luodian. In the evening, we assisted the Air Force in blowing up all the munitions at the Huishan Pier, and just an hour earlier we had attacked the enemy's field airfield and blew up 12 enemy aircraft. They're all allies, and I hope you can save my brother now! ”

"The division commander is here."

Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd. A general in his thirties with several officers came to Ye Lei from the crowd.

This person was Li Tiejun, the commander of the First Division of the First Army of the National Army, he looked at Ye Lei and the team members behind him, and ordered: "Arrange for surgery immediately, use the best doctor and the best medicine." ”

"Division commander, are the soldiers of the 88th Division more expensive than those of our First Division?"

The lieutenant colonel was the chief officer in charge of this field hospital, and he had seen too many of his own people dying because they could not be treated, and now he was putting his own seriously wounded aside for the sake of other divisions.

Li Tiejun said sternly: "Time is life, carry out the order!" ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant colonel immediately ordered his men to step forward and arrange for surgery on the three seriously wounded, including Ma Liang.

Li Tiejun looked at the soldiers around him, as if he had been waiting for an answer, Li Tiejun said: "They are not ordinary soldiers, nor are they soldiers of the 88th Division, they are special forces of our army." Of course, the life of every soldier is precious, but their life is precious, and they are one in ten thousand elites. ”

Li Tiejun's words made the expressions of the soldiers around him react, and they began to understand a little, Li Tiejun continued: "Soldiers or troops take how many enemies they destroy as their combat merits, but they are different. I think the devils they killed didn't even know about themselves, because they didn't pay attention to it at all, they only had goals and tasks in their eyes. I just got the information that our air force has successfully bombed the Huishan wharf, which is full of munitions that have just arrived by the devils, and they are piled up. ”

Li Tiejun pointed at Ye Lei and said, "It was they who assisted the air force and successfully bombed the Huishan wharf, and later bombed a field airfield of the Japanese army. Think about how many brothers will die when so many arms and planes are used on us; If you think about it, there were only 25 of them. I ask you if their lives are precious! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

“……”

Li Tiejun's words completely touched the soldiers around him, and the matter was satisfactorily resolved because of Li Tiejun's arrival.

Turning around, Li Tiejun Shao said: "Ye Lei, the operation will take a long time, you can go to the division with me." ”“”
