When Zhang Ping heard Lei Jian's question, he asked in his heart: "Captain Lei, how deep can the place we stay now be from the ground?" Is there a place where the radio station can be placed close to the ground? You ask me if I can communicate with the outside world on the radio signal, and it's hard to say if I haven't tried it. ”

Wang Ziming replied for Lei Jian: "Director Zhang Ping, our tunnel is about two to three meters down from the entrance, and then according to the soil quality and the arbitrariness of the comrades who excavate the tunnel, the deepest part should be about three or four meters from the ground, and we will stay in this place at least about three meters." ”

"It's so deep above the ground that you can't get a signal at all, and the radio can't work." Zhang Ping said conclusively.

Lei Jian frowned and paused for a minute or two, and then gave a decisive order: "Zhang Ping, under the leadership of the people sent by Comrade Wang Ziming, you can find three to five points that are most suitable for the radio station to receive signals, and immediately contact the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Headquarters, and the message is simple; The wounded and medical personnel left behind in Fuping are safe, Lei Jian is resurrected, and Lei Jian commands the special task force to fight the enemy in the tunnel, please instruct.

Director Zhang Ping, you should remember where the three or five points you have found, you can quickly find them by yourself without anyone's guidance, and then each call time should be short, not more than one minute, it all depends on your hand speed. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, Captain Lei, I'll start working right away." Zhang Ping saluted and turned to leave.

Lei Jian looked at everyone and suddenly asked, "Why haven't Wang Xiaoliang and the guard platoon moved into the pit yet?" Comrade Ziming, please send someone to contact us immediately. ”

"No need, Wang Xiaoliang led the guard platoon to report to Regiment Commander Lei."

Lei Jian was relieved to see that the soldiers of the guard platoon had finally withdrawn into the tunnel, and when he knew that the guard platoon had made some urgently needed materials such as ammunition, food and medicine outside, he was very happy, and when he heard the number reported by Wang Xiaoliang, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Wang Xiaoliang looked at Lei Jian's expression and smiled, but he shook his head again, and hurriedly said: "Report to Commander Lei, the situation is urgent, only so many things have been made, the quantity is not large, and it can barely meet your requirements, otherwise, tonight, I will take the guard platoon out again to go out for a walk, and I promise that the things I get back again will satisfy you, how about it?" ”

"Don't act rashly now, once another tunnel mouth is exposed, it will be difficult for us people and weapons and ammunition to deal with the enemy who kills into the tunnel, you will immediately hand over the materials you brought to Comrade Wang Ziming, and I will still have a task to explain to you."

After Lei Jian finished speaking, he asked for Lao Sun's opinion: "Lao Sun, what do you think we should do next?" ”

"Haha, Regiment Commander Lei is a commander who is decisive and wise, and his next action plan should have been made in a good place, right? Rest assured, as long as you make a decision, I will make additions during the implementation process. ”

When Wang Xiaoliang turned to leave, he glanced back at Zhang Guanghua again, and said without words: "Guanghua, how is the injury of our Captain Lei?" You ...... too. ”

He suddenly glanced at Lei Jian's strange expression, and he was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking, turned around and ran out.

Lei Jian immediately convened an emergency meeting of several core figures of the special task force, and he clearly stated: "At present, we are in this tunnel at the foot of the enemy, and the commander of the Japanese army on the ground, the commander of the Katayama Brigade, must know the mouth of the tunnel where the devils found, and may also think that he has found the head of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Fuping City."

The commander of the Katayama Brigade would never let go of this opportunity, and would rack his brains to order the elite of the Japanese army to dig from the mouth of the tunnel that had been found and blocked, in an attempt to dig through the connection with the tunnel inside, and to use various means to catch the leader of the anti-Japanese armed forces of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the tunnel, and once resisted, he would order the people inside to be exterminated in the tunnel.

We are now in a difficult situation, and several seriously injured people are not yet able to move on their own, let alone evacuate the tunnels and move to the fortress village outside the city. We must also clearly understand that as long as the enemy does not withdraw from Fuping, it is possible that we will continue to hide in the tunnels. ”

Wang Xiaoliang couldn't help asking: "If you insist on it for three days or two days, you can still get over, and after a long time, eating is a big problem, we can't eat raw bread grains and chew millet grains, right?" It's okay, it's not a solution, you always have to eat some cooked food, isn't it, but there are so many of us, where are we cooking? ”

Wang Ziming responded: "Deputy Head Wang, this problem has been solved by Captain Lei, that is, when all households in the city are cooking intensively, we are very close to the ground, and carefully transform the flue to the flue of that household, and then hurry up to cook, under normal circumstances, it will not be discovered." ”

"Haha, this method is good, Commander Lei was seriously injured, and the person who has been declared dead twice by the experts who aided China has come back to life, not only is he recovering well, but he can also lead us to fight the little devil in the tunnel, it's really ......."

"Wang Xiaoliang, who are you bragging? Don't interrupt my train of thought, and wait until I'm done with my words before you give your opinion. ”

Lei Jian continued: "At 22 o'clock on August 20, the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army fired the first shot of the Battle of 100 Regiments, and adopted a large corps raid on many major railway trunk lines and highways in North China, such as Zhengtai, Jinghan, Tongpu, Jinsui, and Handshi, with 1005 regiments participating in the raid and more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians participating in the battle. ”

"Obediently, so many troops, so many soldiers and civilians are fighting this battle? This is also too powerful, I didn't expect that this time our Eighth Route Army would spend money and fight with the little devils, Commander Lei, is this all true? Wang Ziming, Zhang Guanghua, Wang Xiaoliang, and even Lao Sun shook their heads suspiciously.

Lei Jian continued: "You may not have gotten this exact news yet, and I don't know much about it, and there may be inaccuracies in what is said. ”

Wang Xiaoliang saw that Lei Jian was going to end this topic, this just heard a little meaning, how could he say that he would accept it? He quickly pleaded: "Commander Lei, now that the people of our special operations team have safely withdrawn into the tunnel, there is no combat mission in front of us, otherwise you will take this opportunity to say more about the combat examples that sound enjoyable in this battle of the hundred regiments, and let us have a little more knowledge, okay?" ”

The people around him responded almost at the same time: "Captain Lei, this is a rare opportunity, you can say something we don't know, which will have a positive effect on dealing with devils in the future." ”

Lao Sun has never heard of the 'Hundred Regiment Battle', the Eighth Route Army invested so many troops in the general raid this time, and the number of soldiers and civilians who participated in the Zhengtai Road raid reached more than 400,000, such an accurate number, where did Lei Jian get it? couldn't help but playfully urge: "Everyone is right, Captain Lei will tell you more about what you know, so as to satisfy everyone's curiosity, and you can grow some ......." ”

"Why is Lao Sun also interested? With such a coaxing, aren't you afraid that I will faint from exhaustion and not wake up? Okay, since you have this request, then I will briefly talk about some of the 'Hundred Regiment Battles' suddenly launched by the Eighth Route Army, and how the Japanese North China Front responded:

According to the domestic situation, on the one hand, the Japanese army wantonly invaded and occupied our anti-Japanese base areas, and on the other hand, the domestic diehards launched attacks on our base areas on many occasions The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to concentrate superior forces in the rear to take the enemy by surprise, expand the influence of the Eighth Route Army throughout the country, counterattack those diehards and the media who spread rumors, and take one or two influential major battles to block the bad words of these people and arouse the anti-Japanese sentiment of the broad masses of the people.

The commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and front-line chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army convened several military meetings of the heads of various military regions and corps in Wangjiayu, and after more than a month of deliberation and preparation, it was decided to concentrate 22 regiments on 22 August 1940, with Zhengtai Road as the main battlefield for the attack, and at the same time launch a large-scale sabotage attack on seven major railway lines, including Jinghan, Tongpu, Jinsui, and Deshi.

Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and Commander Liu of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region agreed to fire the first shot of the general sabotage battle at 22 o'clock on 20 August.

In the latter part of the first stage, the number of troops participating in the battle gathered at the front-line headquarters of the Eighth Route Army reached 1005 regiments, and more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians actively participated in the battle.

The large-scale sabotage led by the Eighth Route Army by dismantling railroad tracks and destroying major bridges, culverts, stations, coal mines, passes, and strongholds along the railways and highways shocked Commander Okamura Ninji of the Japanese North China Front. ”
