Ma Ming listened to Deputy Commander Zhou's disrespectful words, and dared to disobey the order of the war field, he flew from the war horse and stood firmly on the ground, rushed to Deputy Commander Zhou, and said in a stern tone: "Deputy Commander Zhou, I gave the battlefield order of the Commander of the Thunder Sword, and if you dare to disobey, you will be dealt with by military law." ”

"You don't use the thunder sword to scare me, I know that the thunder sword is famous, but he is not the commander of my third regiment, and he is not the only regiment commander now, what qualifications does he have to command my third regiment?"

"Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, do you know that every order that Commander Lei Jian now gives to the Duyi Regiment and the Third Regiment is completely under the orders of Commander Nie, the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, to command the Duyi Regiment and the Third Regiment to deploy on the front line of Qingshui Bridge? If you dare to disobey, my brother, consider the consequences. ”

Ma Ming suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "On behalf of the Commander of the Thunder Sword Regiment, I once again order the third regiment commando, immediately abandon the high ground and return to the team immediately, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law." ”

After giving the order, he suddenly turned around and jumped on horseback, sat on his war horse with a very beautiful figure, brandished his saber and ordered: "The second and third companies of the cavalry battalion will attack with me, and when they hear my whistle, they will immediately retreat, kill——。 ”

A cavalry team bravely broke into the enemy group, swinging their sabers and flying up and down to slash the devils in the shadows.

The squadron of devils, who were rammed and slashed by war horses, lay on the ground in a panic, and with the help of the terrain on both sides of the ditch and the road, pulled the trigger to carry out a fire counterattack.

Ma Ming found that the devil squadron that was chaotic by the war horse was rushed, and reacted in a short time, lying on the spot to carry out a counterattack, he did not dare to fight, and followed the order of the thunder sword to fight and retreat, and shouted in the slashing in the devil group: "——。 ”

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion suddenly shouted 'tug-hoo' when the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion was fighting the enemy at its most intense, and these soldiers, who had not yet enjoyed cutting and killing, had to immediately withdraw from the battle and retreat according to the prior deployment.

Deputy Commander Zhou of the Third Regiment, when he saw that the deputy commander of the only regiment Ma Ming conveyed the order of Lei Jian, he flew on his horse and led the cavalry battalion to kill the enemy group, this kind of chic and heroic fierce battle with the enemy, the envious deputy commander Zhou sighed: "Niu, the only regiment is too good, my third regiment is really too different from the only regiment in terms of strength, weapons and ammunition and combat capabilities, and I have to obey." ”

The commando captain beside him saw that the cavalry battalion had once again entered the enemy group, and the devil was killed lying on the spot to carry out a counterattack, and he said to Zhou Liheng: "Deputy Commander Zhou, now that the danger is lifted from the heights, we will quickly redeploy and prepare to meet the devil's attack again, once the opportunity is lost, then our assault company will be in danger." ”

"No, did you find out? The cavalry battalion that had entered the enemy group was in the process of slashing and killing, but suddenly turned to the posture of taking the initiative to withdraw from the battle and fighting and retreating, this kind of tactics is really incomprehensible; once the only regiment withdraws from the battle, our commando still insists on holding on to the high ground, and will be surrounded again by a large number of enemies, and our commando team will not replenish its weapons and ammunition in time, and will be in a very dangerous situation at that time. ”

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou Liheng finally realized that Lei Jian's tactics of ordering his commandos to take the initiative to abandon the high ground were very reasonable, and ordered the commando team to quickly bypass the devil's army and return to the team, which was the best way to protect the commando team from being surrounded by the enemy and all of them died on the high ground.

Thinking of this, he had to obey Lei Jian, who was rumored to be brave and good at fighting, witty and brave, he was an excellent commander, and he would command the battle of Qingshui Bridge through telecommunications in Fuping City, a hundred miles away, which was really powerful.

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou ordered the commando leader: "Immediately abandon the high ground position, bypass the enemy's large army, and return to the position of the third regiment as quickly as possible to deploy defenses." ”

Ma Ming led the cavalry battalion to adopt the tactics of fighting and retreating, pinning down and luring the devil's vanguard to pursue quickly, Captain Matsumoto saw that the vanguard army captured the high ground of the Eighth Route Army, and then chased after the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army that retreated to Qingshui Bridge, this arrogant guy waved his command knife and ordered: "Order the vanguard to bite the fleeing Tu Eighth Route Cavalry Battalion, quickly approach the Qingshui Bridge, take the opportunity to occupy the position first, and cover the rear team to pass at full speed." ”

Matsumoto Daisa saw that the rear team was bitten by the Third Regiment of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and every time he pushed forward, the Third Regiment followed closely behind to harass with fire, and Matsumoto Daisa shouted angrily: "Order the rear team to occupy favorable terrain and quickly surround the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route that has been tracking, and destroy them all." ”

Once the Japanese commander fought so firmly, the deployment of the Japanese commander would fail, and not only would it cause heavy casualties to the troops, but the Qingshui Bridge would also be quickly occupied by the enemy.

If the Qingshui Bridge position is lost, the Japanese 364 Matsumoto Wing will drive straight into Fuping City, and the consequence will be that it will bring great obstacles to the organs and main forces of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region that have not yet entered Fuping City.

The commander of the third regiment, Wu Yude, ordered the battalions that had bitten the enemy's tail team, and were engaged in a difficult positional battle with the enemy, and seeing that the enemy was about to encircle the third regiment, the commander of the regiment Wu asked loudly: "Has the assault team led by Deputy Commander Zhou returned?" ”

"Report to Commander Wu, Commander Zhou and the commando team have not returned to the troops." Operational Staff Report.

"Bastard, why hasn't you withdrawn for so long? The battalions were ordered to hold out for five minutes, and at that time, regardless of whether the assault team returned or not, immediately retreated in great strides, luring the enemy to follow and then fight and retreat. Commander Wu saw that the devils quickly formed an encirclement of the third regiment, and shouted loudly.

Just as the third regiment was about to be surrounded by a large Japanese army, there was a sudden message that 'Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou is back, and the assault team is back.' ’

Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou ran to Commander Wu and reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Wu, the commando team took the initiative to abandon the highland position and lead the assault team to return to the unit under the order of Deputy Regiment Commander Ma Ming of the One Regiment on behalf of Commander Lei Jian, please instruct." ”

At this tense moment, Deputy Head Zhou reported to Head Wu so verbosely, I don't know what it means.

Regiment Commander Wu did not have time to consider these details of the report of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, he only knew that the order he received from Lei Jian was to contain and lure the enemy, and once he engaged the enemy, he should not fight to the death, but adopt the tactics of fighting and retreating to continue to bite the enemy, so as to buy time for the single large army to reach the Qingshui Bridge defensive position.

He shouted to Zhou Liheng: "Order the troops to retreat in great strides immediately, without ordering the battalions not to stop and block the enemy without authorization, once you find that the enemy is thrown away, immediately return quickly and bite the enemy again." ”

"Captain Wu, what kind of play is this? Our 3rd Regiment is engaged in the battle with the 364th Matsumoto Brigade of the Japanese Army, and it can completely withdraw from the battle after completing the blocking mission, but why should we retreat after chasing the strong enemy but not being able to defeat it, and fighting so badly all the way, whose order is this? ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou, you are a soldier of the Eighth Route Army and the deputy commander of the Third Regiment, don't you understand that it is a soldier's duty to carry out orders? Besides, the third regiment is about to be surrounded by the enemy, and you are still in front of me, and your mother-in-law and mother are 'why', why are you so wrong? You listen to me, resolutely carry out the order of the commander of the Thunder Sword, and quickly lead the troops to break through. ”

Under the leadership of Commander Wu Yude, the 3rd Regiment quickly withdrew from the encirclement that the enemy was about to form, and retreated in great strides along the road, with the Japanese troops chasing behind, and seeing that the Eighth Route Army was fleeing faster and faster, the commander ordered to stop the pursuit and immediately return to the main force.

While commanding the troops to retreat, Regiment Commander Wu looked back and found that the chasing devils suddenly stopped and turned their heads to run back, and he shouted to the retreating troops: "Stop retreating, immediately pursue the little devils who have fled, once the battalions bite the enemy, don't fall in love with the battle, retreat again, and contain the enemy to continue the pursuit." ”

The retreating devil thought that he had given up tracking the Third Regiment, and the Third Regiment was beaten and fled, so he could rest assured that there were pursuing troops of the Eighth Route Army behind him, and he was rapidly retreating, and suddenly he was hit by the fire of the Eighth Route Army again.

The captain of the Japanese army in charge of the rear command roared angrily: "Order the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army to surround the Tu Eighth Route troops that have been pursuing them with the most ferocious fighting posture, and die to the ground." ”

The front and rear units of the 364th Matsumoto Wing of the Japanese Army were slow to move under the fire of the Eighth Route Army on the high ground, and Matsumoto ordered a squadron to break through the position of the Eighth Route Army on the high ground in the shortest possible time and continue to advance rapidly towards the Qingshui Bridge.

Matsumoto didn't expect that just when he was about to break through the highland position of the Eighth Route Army and eliminate this Eighth Route Army, he suddenly killed a strong cavalry brigade from the direction of Qingshui Bridge, lost a great opportunity to break through the high ground, and passively counterattacked on the spot to kill the cavalry who came up.
