The two guards and soldiers politely saluted Ma Mingshan and Li Gang, and said very apologetically: "Report to the chief, on the order of Commander Nie, the military region has arranged for the two of us to be on guard here to prevent anyone from disturbing the seriously injured Commander of the Lei Jian Regiment, please don't embarrass us, retreat ten steps away, okay?" ”

"What's this? Why didn't the reconnaissance company and guard platoon we came with replace it with soldiers from other units and guard the door of the ward? It makes no sense. Li Gang said indignantly as he stepped back and said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Xiaoliang said helplessly: "We have seen that Captain Lei has been rescued until now, and he has not woken up, and he has wanted to rush into the ward several times to have a look, but he is in a hurry, but there is no way." Director Geng of the field hospital, in order not to be disturbed by Regiment Commander Lei, reported to Commander Nie, who personally sent two soldiers from the guard regiment to guard the door, and no one could enter. ”

"Yes, since we sent Captain Lei to the operating room, we haven't seen Captain Lei again, you say, who can not be in a hurry? But there was no way, the guards blocked us at the door, and we couldn't even get closer, which was really desperate. Qu Jiaming said dissatisfied.

Ma Mingshan looked at the soldiers beside him and suddenly asked, "Where is our health captain He Chuntao?" Why haven't I seen her all this time? ”

"Chun Tao wanted to go into the operating room several times to help, but was pushed out, and then Captain Lei was in urgent need of fresh blood, Captain Chun Tao volunteered to donate blood, we were only ten steps away, and the medical staff helped her out of the next ward, and entered the special care ward of Captain Lei, and I never saw her again." Wang Xiaoliang pointed to the intensive care ward and said.

Li Gang grabbed Wang Xiaoliang and asked, "Can you think of a way to call Chun Tao out, even if you see her from afar and ask about the situation?" ”

Wang Xiaoliang spread his hands and said helplessly: "We have thought of everything, we can't even get close to the special care ward, we can't see Chun Tao at all, hey, there is no news at all, I am really anxious." ”

At this moment, a staff officer of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region came to the field hospital, found Ma Mingshan and said, "Report to Political Commissar Ma, Commander Nie asks you and your deputy regiment commander to go to him." ”

After a short time, Ma Mingshan, Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang of the only group were brought into a room, which looked like a small conference room, and the three of them were officially meeting Commander Nie for the first time, and they couldn't help but feel a little nervous and a little cramped and uneasy.

Wang Xiaoliang said with a big grin: "Sit down, let's sit and wait for ......." ”

"Deputy Head Wang Xiaoliang is right, sit down, you have worked hard." With a hearty voice, a middle-aged cadre of the Eighth Route Army with a thin figure and bright eyes walked in from outside the door, and when he saw the three people in the only group, he said in a slightly serious tone: "I heard that you have made another fuss in the field hospital?" The temper is not small. ”

Wang Xiaoliang saw Commander Nie in the field hospital, he had just sat down on his buttocks, and when he heard a familiar and friendly voice, it was like being shocked, Teng stood up, and shouted to the thin soldier who walked in the door: "Report to Commander Nie, Wang Xiaoliang, the deputy commander of the only regiment, report to you." ”

Ma Mingshan and Li Gang heard Wang Xiaoliang shouting, and immediately reported: "Report to Commander Nie, Ma Mingshan, political commissar of the only regiment, and Li Gang, deputy head of the regiment, report to the chief." ”

"Okay, okay, your Captain Lei was seriously injured and is still in danger of life, seeing that you can endure the grief in your heart and be so energetic, I am relieved that the cadres of your only regiment are relieved." Commander Nie said, pointing to the stool in front of the small conference table and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Commander Nie asked, "Comrade Ma Mingshan, let's briefly explain the situation of your unique regiment." ”

"Yes." Ma Mingshan reported: In the first and second phases of the Hundred Regiments War, the only regiment completed the three largest campaign tasks assigned by the superior leaders, conquered the stronghold of the horse post, and ran to assemble in Fuping.

At present, the army has four main infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion, and five special companies, with 4,352 soldiers, and the soldiers of the unit are very tired, but they are concerned about the injuries of the head of the Lei Jian regiment, and they are all holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, ready to go to the battlefield at any time to kill devils, and avenge the sacrificed comrades-in-arms and the seriously injured and unknown life of the Lei regiment commander.

Commander Nie nodded and said: "The mourning soldiers will win, your only regiment fights and kills all the way, it is really hard, but at present, the anti-Japanese base area has entered the third stage of the Hundred Regiment War, and it is a critical moment to counterattack the Japanese invaders and sweep the base area of our Eighth Route Army."

The Japanese North China Front Army rushed to the base area of our Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in three directions, and now the 1st, 25th, and 20th regiments of the Military Region have been fighting fiercely with the enemy in the areas of Guanjiazhuang and Wangang.

In addition, the Japanese army sent more than 7,000 troops to frantically attack Nanzhuang in Fuping City, the former enemy command post of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, along Wanxian, Tangxian, Quyang, Xiaguan, and Zhengding, and the situation was not optimistic.

In order to protect the front-line organs of Fuping City, Jinchaji and the people in the city, the military region ordered the only regiment to immediately move closer to the mouth of the river, join the fifth regiment, block the enemy in the area of the estuary, cover the evacuation of the soldiers and civilians of Fuping, and not withdraw from the position without an order. ”

"Report to the commander that the only regiment promises to cooperate closely with the fifth regiment to resolutely block the enemy in the area of the estuary and cover the safe evacuation of the military and civilians in Fuping."

"Okay, your regiment commander Lei is still in danger of his life, a main regiment cannot do without a military commander, appoint Li Gang to temporarily serve as the head of the regiment, and order Wang Xiaoliang, deputy regiment commander, to lead the reconnaissance company and guard platoon of the only regiment to cover the withdrawal of the field hospital of the military region from Fuping City, time is urgent, let's act immediately."

Commander Nie stood up, shook hands with Ma Mingshan, Li Gang and Wang Xiaoliang respectively, said a few words of encouragement, and watched the backs of the three people leave, he nodded and praised: "The cadres brought out by the only group of thunder swords are still satisfied. ”

Ma Mingshan, Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang accepted the task and left Commander Nie on the way back to the army.

Wang Xiaoliang was very happy to receive the task, as long as he led the reconnaissance company and guard platoon, cooperated with the special service company of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and covered the safe withdrawal of the field hospital of the military region from Fuping City, not only the task was easy, but he could also follow Lei Jian all the time, and he really wanted to jump with joy in his heart.

His blind optimism, in the evacuation of the field hospital in the military region, is about to pay the price of blood.

Ma Mingshan didn't know anything about this new mission, he really hoped that Lei Jian would wake up, take the opportunity to sneak into the special care ward, find Lei Jian, and ask Lei Jian's opinion on this blocking battle.

He said to Li Gang: "Acting Commander Li, are we going to see Commander Lei in the field hospital with Deputy Commander Wang?" Once Regiment Leader Lei wakes up, asking him for advice on the strategy and tactics of this mission should be of great help to us. ”

"Great, I won't hide it from you Political Commissar Ma, I just left the gate of the military region, I had this idea, I didn't expect you to bring it up first, let's go."

Wang Xiaoliang listened to the two singing and harmonizing, paused to stop the two and said: "This is not good, Captain Lei is not out of danger now, let's find him so recklessly, once this 'Thunder General' is in a hurry, and his condition deteriorates, it will be troublesome." ”

"This is a matter, otherwise, let's go over and have a look first, and then decide according to the situation, besides, Commander Lei has been unconscious, we are not sure, look at him again, have you woken up now, in this way, even on the battlefield, your heart is also steady." Ma Mingshan insisted on seeing Lei Jian, his mood was complicated, but he really hoped that Lei Jian could wake up soon, get out of the minefield of life, and see him come back to life.

The three of them stopped arguing, and ran to the field hospital, and when they rushed to the intensive care ward for more than ten steps, they saw Qu Jiaming and Feng Guang squatting on the ground and sobbing in a low voice.

Wang Xiaoliang rushed to him, pulled Qu Jiaming up, saw that Qu Jiaming's face was full of tears, and asked in a hurry: "Is there something wrong with Captain Lei?" Tell me quickly. ”

Ma Mingshan and Li Gang surrounded Qu Jiaming and Feng Guang, and the three of them shouted at the same time: "Are you two dumb? Just know how to cry, cry and cry, tell us, how is Captain Lei now? Bastard, tell me quickly. ”
