Lao Sun and Ma Mingshan heard that Lei Jian was really going to kill the battlefield in person with serious injuries, and the two not only nervously persuaded: "Commander Lei, you are seriously injured and very weak, although this mission is on horseback, but bumpy in the hills along the way may be more detrimental to your physical recovery, can you send someone else to lead the team to complete this mission?" ”

Lei Jian said firmly: "Thank you two old brothers for your concern, this task is important, once you can't destroy the artillery positions of the 364th Wing of the Japanese Army in time, then the troops of my only regiment holding the positions on the north and south slopes will suffer great casualties, and my Lei Jian can't watch my soldiers fall under the enemy's artillery fire, and they must be destroyed immediately." ”

Ignoring everyone's persuasion, he suddenly ordered Xiao Huang, the communicator beside him: "Pass my order, order the artillery company commander Zhao Sicong, lead twelve mortars to act with me immediately, and order Feng Guang to take the guard platoon and set off now." ”

Lei Jian led a platoon of the artillery company and a guard platoon to quickly leave the front-line command post, and a group of more than 60 war cavalry carrying mortars passed the enemy's fierce Japanese defense line on the north and south slopes as quickly as possible, and soon joined up with the cavalry battalion.

Ma Ming saw that Lei Jian was seriously injured and rushed to the front line in person, and said guiltily: "Commander Lei, it's me Ma Ming who is useless, I failed to destroy the enemy's artillery position in time, and you came to command it in person, I, Ma Ming, am really ashamed." ”

"Deputy Commander Ma, it's not that you are useless, it's the cunning Japanese commander who protects the artillery position with heavy troops, the cavalry battalion wants to break through the fire defense line of a squadron of devils through rifles and sabers, and enter the Japanese artillery positions to carry out operations, it is already difficult, don't be discouraged, I will deploy the artillery positions immediately, under the cover of artillery fire, you lead the cavalry battalion, you should be able to kill the Japanese artillery positions, eliminate the devil artillery, and try to destroy the light and heavy artillery of the Japanese army."

Lei Jian said and came to the artillery positions that were being set up everywhere, and saw that each mortar had adjusted its gun position according to the target of the Japanese artillery position locked, and he personally corrected each mortar position in order to basically destroy the five main mountain guns of the Japanese artillery squadron under the first round of artillery fire.

He said to Zhao Sicong, the artillery company commander who was following him: "Company Commander Zhao, you have to master that each mortar can capture the next target immediately after each round of shelling, and carry out the fastest artillery strike, how the only regiment will win or lose at Qingshui Bridge, it all depends on whether your artillery company can destroy the devil's artillery position, do you understand how heavy the courage on your shoulders is Company Commander Zhao?" ”

Zhao Sicong immediately shouted: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, I, Zhao Sicong, promise that according to your deployment, I will definitely command the artillery unit to destroy the enemy's artillery position in the continuous artillery bombardment." ”

"Okay, order the artillery positions, aim at the enemy's five mountain guns, and fire the cannon to blow it up for me."

"Boom, boom, boom...... 12 mortars in the four artillery positions under Zhao Sicong's order, the ammunition was fired and retreated in one go, the 12 shells were wrapped in a sharp whistling, flying to the artillery position of the 364th Wing of the Japanese Army below the hills, with more than a dozen explosions, the Japanese artillery position was suddenly hit by the artillery fire of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the five mountain guns were blown up in the explosion, and the ghost gunners in front of the mountain artillery were separated from the bones of the bomb on the spot.

Zhao Sicong, the commander of the artillery company of the only regiment, immediately ordered the soldiers to adjust the artillery position after the gunner fired the first shell, and the target Japanese mortar position launched a second round of artillery bombardment, followed by the third and fourth rounds of artillery fire.

The artillery position of the 364th Wing of the Japanese Army was suddenly hit by the artillery fire of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and when the leader of the devil artillery squadron was unexpected, he found that the artillery position was destroyed by the sound of explosions, and the soldiers wailed that the artillery position was destroyed.

The commander of the Japanese infantry squadron who was in charge of defending the artillery position saw that the artillery position was suddenly covered by the powerful artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and the shrapnel and fragments of mountain artillery and mortars that were blown up by the explosion were like sharp blades flying towards the infantry squadron positions on the periphery of the artillery position.

Lei Jian held a telescope from time to time to scan the Japanese artillery positions under the hills, as well as the devil squadron defending the artillery positions, when he saw the Japanese artillery positions inflicted heavy damage in the explosion, even if there were still mountain artillery and mortars that had not been destroyed, at this time he wanted to resume the artillery counterattack in the shortest possible time, but under the continuous artillery fire, he could not approach the artillery position operation at all.

Zhao Sicong, the commander of the artillery company, ran to Lei Jian's side and stood up and reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the artillery position of the 364th Wing of the Japanese Army has been covered by artillery fire, and the enemy's artillery position should be completely disabled, and I request that the next artillery fire attack target be ordered." ”

Lei Jian decisively ordered: "Order the two artillery positions to lock on the mountain artillery and mortars that the Japanese army has not yet destroyed, and continue the artillery attack, and order the other two artillery positions to bombard the devil squadron on the periphery of the Japanese artillery position with the most fierce artillery artillery. ”

He shouted to Ma Ming, who was standing beside him: "Deputy Commander Ma, order the cavalry battalion to attack the Japanese squadrons on the periphery in three directions under the cover of artillery fire, break through the enemy's outlying positions and enter the artillery positions, eliminate the devil's artillery, and act immediately." ”

Zhao Sicong received a new order for artillery fire to strike at the enemy's targets, and issued the latest command to strike at the enemy on the four artillery positions set up in different positions.

Twelve mortars from four artillery positions accurately landed the shells fired from the positions of the peripheral devil squadrons, as well as the periphery of the undestroyed artillery positions of the Japanese artillery positions, and under this fire strike, the enemy's artillery positions were further destroyed, and the Japanese squadrons responsible for defending the artillery positions were subjected to devastating artillery fire at the same time.

Lei Jian saw that the enemy's position had been covered by artillery fire, and the enemy he hit had no combat effectiveness, he waved his hand and ordered: "The cavalry battalion, under the cover of artillery fire, will launch the most fierce attack, kill the hills and eliminate the little devils." ”

Ma Ming brandished his command knife and shouted: "The soldiers of the cavalry battalion are heroic and invincible sharp knives, under the cover of artillery fire, they will definitely break through the infantry positions on the periphery of the Japanese army, and kill the enemy artillery positions to eliminate the little devils, rush——。 ”

A cavalry battalion of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army, under the leadership of Ma Ming, deputy commander of the regiment, brandished a saber and rushed out of the hills, more than 300 war horses suddenly rushed to the enemy position from the high ground, and the sabers waving in the sun reflected a bright light.

The leader of the infantry squadron protecting the artillery position on the periphery, under the sudden artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, had no power to fight back, and saw the little devils affected by the shell explosion fleeing in all directions, but he shouted helplessly: "Quickly lie down in place and don't move, after the shell explodes, the shell will not fall again at the same bullet impact point, bastard, do you hear it?" ”

What if you hear it, and what if you don't hear it? Under the incessant artillery fire, the commander of the Japanese squadron on the periphery, who suffered heavy casualties, saw that the position of the artillery squadron was destroyed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, he lay on the ground and held his head and wailed: "It's over, the artillery squadron of the 364th Matsumoto Wing has been completely destroyed by the Eighth Route of the Earth, and my responsibility is great, and I will definitely be dealt with by military law." ”

Just when the leader of the devil squadron lamented continuously, he suddenly heard the roar of a large number of war horses hitting the earth from the direction of the hills, and accompanied by the earth-shaking shouts of killing, he raised his head in shock, and when he found that more than 300 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were like a rolling frenzy, the Japanese squadron leader was frightened and stuck out his tongue and almost did not retract.

This guy immediately shouted calmly: "The warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army, the Tu Eighth Route Cavalry is slashing and killing, all the imperial warriors must use the spirit of bushido to block and kill the Tu Eighth Route Cavalry that comes up, and quickly implement the fire block." ”

After all, the little devils in the outer positions were well-trained Matsumoto elite troops, and in order to survive, they immediately picked up their guns to find favorable terrain and pulled the trigger to shoot the cavalry battalion that pounced.

All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were frustrated in the previous attacks on the Japanese artillery positions, and they held a breath of turbidity in their hearts, and at this time, under the cover of artillery fire led by Lei Jian to carry out fire strikes, they waved their sabers and rushed unstoppably to the enemy's peripheral positions.

Deputy Commander Ma Ming led a company to first break through the outer position of the devil squadron from the right flank, brandished a saber and rushed into the artillery position of the Japanese 364th Wing.
