The leader of the devil squadron waved his hand arrogantly and said: "Isn't it your soldier, the commander of the peak asked us to wait, wait for the group of fighters in the air to fly over, and then wipe out this cavalry brigade of the Eighth Route in one fell swoop, do you understand?" ”

"Hello, understand, greatly understand."

The wishful thinking of the little devil is to bite the cavalry brigade of the thunder sword, wait for the opportunity, and then concentrate the most fierce firepower in the air and ground in an attempt to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

The witty Lei Jian saw through the devil's conspiracy, took the opportunity to play a paralyzing war with the enemy, and took advantage of the waiting psychology of the devil's ground troops to delay time as much as possible, so as to free up the men and horses led by Li Gang to quickly leave this dangerous place and return to the only regiment safely.

At this moment, Lei Jian received an urgent telegram from Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region: Lei Jian, the enemy plane has taken off, and you are ordered to withdraw from the Laishi Highway within 10 minutes, give up the important military quarters captured, and ensure the safe return of the cavalry battalion.

"Ten minutes? What can I do in ten minutes? Lei Jian put the message in his pocket, he didn't dare to play with the little devil anymore, once there was a mistake in the reconnaissance company, then he Lei Jian couldn't explain to Commander Nie.

Lei Jian decisively gave the order, proceeded as quickly as possible, and proceeded according to his deployment, and evacuated the Laishi Highway within ten minutes and moved closer to the 25th Regiment.

At the same time, Commander Nie sent a telegram to Commander Yang of the left column, ordering the 25th Regiment to advance along the Laishi Road to meet the cavalry battalion of the only regiment of Lei Jian that had returned.

Lei Jian rode his horse and galloped, patrolling along the Laishi Highway, and found that the problem was solved immediately, approaching the evacuation time, Lei Jian said to Qu Jiaming in the cab: "My good brother, you must master the evacuation time, the life and death of you and several soldiers are only in an instant, you give me a good life and come back to report to me." ”

"Please rest assured, Commander Lei, my brother Qu Jiaming, who is seven days older than you, doesn't want to die yet, I will catch up with you as soon as I complete the task, you can quickly lead the troops to withdraw."

Lei Jian didn't have time to make a parting speech, he ordered all the troops and coachmen who had been deployed to quickly take advantage of the darkness of the night to evacuate in all directions, and then gather in a forest in the southeast.

Song Tiedan knew that he had to leave a squad to carry out special tasks, so he preemptively said: "Commander Lei, you will leave me to lead ten soldiers to carry out special tasks, you can rest assured, I promise to complete it." ”

Lei Jian grabbed Song Tiedan's hand on the war horse and said quickly: "Tiedan, my good brother, I will hand over this dangerous task to you, but you have to promise me that you will definitely come back with these ten warriors." ”

Song Tiedan ordered two soldiers to change horses with a platoon of soldiers of the reconnaissance company, ride horses and drag the branches tied to the tail of the horses, and run back and forth on the Laishi Highway at the fastest speed, covering the retreat of the reconnaissance company with the dust and fog that exploded.

He rode to the first carriage, jumped into it, and whipped the horse so hard that the horse was in pain, and galloped forward with all four hooves.

The carriage behind was connected by ropes, and the carriage in front suddenly increased its speed, and the horses behind followed passively. At first, it was a little difficult to run because each carriage was pulling each other, but it was not easy to make the fifteen carriages run smoothly, and it was not easy to call the fifteen carriages, which were connected by ropes back and forth, to stop suddenly.

At this time, there was a war horse pulling the branches in front of the dust cover, in the middle there were fifteen carriages full of goods galloping wildly, and in the back there were a few war horses, quickly dragging the branches and sweeping the ground, originally as the three platoons of cavalry of the reconnaissance company behind the palace, at this time had rushed past the two trucks, ran to the front, and took the opportunity to withdraw from the team.

The devil commander, who was sitting leisurely in the cab, suddenly found that this cavalry brigade had two trucks covered with tarpaulins full of goods, and the devil commander was overjoyed at this discovery, and laughed loudly: "Roar, the Tubalu returned to my squadron, and prepared two truckloads of the best trophies of the Imperial Japanese Army, I like it very much." ”

At this moment, the two trucks in front suddenly moved side by side, and in the blink of an eye, the tarpaulin in the rear compartment was removed, revealing two mortars, two heavy machine guns, and several boxes of grenades, shells, and bullets.

Qu Jiaming poked his head out of the cab and shouted to the back: "Adjust the gun position, heavy machine gun, carry out the most fierce artillery bombardment and heavy machine gun fire on the devil truck that is following up, and strive to jump out of the car and leave the battlefield immediately and open fire under several rounds of artillery fire within ten minutes——。 ”

The two trucks in front of them suddenly stopped, and the gunners and heavy machine gun shooters on the cars carried out the most intense artillery fire and heavy machine gun fire on the unprepared devil trucks.

The leader of the devil squadron sitting on the first truck, when he saw the two trucks in front of him uncovering the tarpaulin, he immediately realized that the Eighth Route Army might be cheating, and ordered the driver to brake urgently.

Originally, the fifteen devil trucks were not fast, and it was enough to bite the cavalry brigade of the Eighth Route Army, but the driver drove slowly on the highway, and it was close to dawn, and one by one he was shaking in the cab and drowsy, sometimes suddenly opening his eyes, and quickly hitting the steering wheel in fright, otherwise he would get into the ditch on the side of the road.

At this time, the car in front suddenly stopped, and more than a dozen trucks were close behind, and the collision sound of 'knock, knock knock......' and the howl of the devils in the carriage being pushed by inertia continued.

Without waiting for the howl of the truck and the devil to continue, shells whistled from the front and exploded around the truck, and the heavy machine gun spewed flames and swept towards the devil.

Qu Jiaming didn't dare to fight, and asked the soldiers waiting in front of the car to lead the war horses, "Are you all deployed?" ”

"Report to Company Commander Qu, everything is in accordance with the plan of the Lei Regiment Commander, and it has been deployed." Several soldiers turned over and rode on their horses, and urged Qu Jiaming: "Company Commander Qu, retreat quickly, if you don't retreat, it's too late." ”

Qu Jiaming shouted to the soldiers in the carriage: "Evacuate as originally planned." ”

The leader of the devil squadron was suddenly hit by two trucks captured by the Eighth Route Army, heavy artillery fire and heavy machine guns, thanks to the quick hiding under the cab, he survived, but his left arm was wounded, and the blood kept flowing down.

He was about to organize troops to surround the two trucks in front of him and destroy them with heavy weapons, but he found that the two trucks that were braving artillery fire and machine gun flames suddenly fell silent.

The two devil squad leaders ran to the front, pointed to the two dumb trucks and asked, "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, why did the Tubalu suddenly stop attacking, we can take the opportunity to destroy these two trucks." ”

"Order to form an assault team, approach quietly, search carefully, and see what tricks Tubalu is doing, quickly."

"Hay, Hay." An assault team composed of ten devils, armed with guns, approached the truck in fear, and suddenly stood up and shouted to the back: "Your Excellency, the two trucks have no dirt road, and there are still more than a dozen boxes of shells, bullets, and grenades in the carriages. ”

The devil commander was very puzzled, with so many shells, bullets and grenades in the carriage, the Eighth Route Army not only did not resist or take them away, but actually stayed here, which really made him dare not imagine what kind of character this commander of the Eighth Route Army was.

The two squad leaders yelled at the devils beside them: "Check carefully in front, hurry." ”

Seeing that there was no danger, the little devil rushed forward with a gun, jumped into the car with a few brave devils, saw the mortar and heavy machine gun, and shouted happily: "Roar, my squad can also have mortars and heavy machine guns." ”

The little devil around him suddenly had a dispute over this ownerless weapon, and even held a gun against him, the devil squadron leader hung his arm and ordered a squad leader beside him: "You bring a squad of imperial soldiers, seize these two trucks that were robbed by Tubalu, and order the driver to start the car and quickly chase the fleeing Eighth Route Army cavalry brigade." ”

The leader of the devil squad, the devil who led the squad, received the two trucks discarded by Qu Jiaming, and started to chase forward quickly, the Japanese truck brigade was not destroyed much, and a truck that could not be driven in front was pushed to the side of the road, and the one behind quickly followed.

The leader of the devil squad sitting in the cab did not understand the approach of the Eighth Route Army, and he was getting more and more scared, he just wanted to stop the truck, and suddenly there was an explosion under the car, and the truck that the devil squad leader was riding was blown to pieces.

One after another, the shells, bullets and grenades on the car were detonated, and the power of the serial explosions directly threatened several trucks closely behind, and the little devils who blew up cried wolf. At this moment, the roar of a group of enemy planes was heard in the sky.
