Outside the east gate of Fuping City, groups of Zhuanghu people were blown to the city gate by the northwest wind, carrying burdens, carrying firewood and carrying wild things, pushing wheelbarrows and baskets, sparsely pouring into the city, the Japanese army defending the city did not pay much attention at first, so they let go.

Later, I saw more and more young people entering the city in this way, especially those who carried firewood and pushed carts, and the cunning little devils came out from behind the city gate, shouting for the puppet army to check carefully.

Just when the enemy puppet army was about to be strictly inspected, a small group of Japanese cavalry rushed from the northeast frantically, and the horses were faster at the gate of the city, and constantly beat the people of the countryside who were hindered from entering the city, and the city gate was even more chaotic for a while, and the people who came in and out were crowded around, and when a small group of Japanese troops rushed into the city gate, the soldiers of the assault company who disguised themselves as entering the city entered the city, and under the cover of the collision of this devil cavalry squad, all entered the county seat.

Company commander Fang Liqiang led the assault company to rush into an alley, and immediately ordered the soldiers to disguise themselves as devils, and ten people were a small group, and stealthily approached No. 17 Guanping Street.

No. 17 Guanping Street is the most secret underground workstation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and if it were not for the purpose of receiving the three comrades of Zhang Ping who entered the city, it would not normally be activated, but in order for the special task force to get out of the tiger's mouth in time and follow the instructions of the superiors, Liu Shoucheng of No. 17 Guanping Street was ordered to actively cooperate and obey the leadership of Lei Jian.

For the safety of the comrades hidden in the house, one soldier rushed into the courtyard and shouted in a low voice before he reached the main house: "Commander Lei, more than a dozen figures have come from the mouth of the alley, and they look like Japanese patrols." ”

Lei Jianhuo stood up, it seems that these two bowls of millet porridge have worked, otherwise Lei Jian's weak body would not suddenly become so sharp at all, he said to the people in the house: "Order Feng Guang to lead the second squad of the guard platoon to climb to the ridge and the courtyard wall immediately, and prepare for battle, no one is allowed to shoot without an order."

Ordered Wang Xiaoliang to lead the guard platoon to hide on both sides of the gate, once the little devils entered the yard to search, they should be eliminated as quickly as possible, but they must not make a noise to alarm the little devils patrolling outside. ”

Lei Jian ordered Wang Ziming: "You lead Zhang Guanghua, Chun Tao, Liu Shoucheng and others to guard the mouth of the tunnel, hear the sound of gunshots in the yard, immediately enter the tunnel to hide the mouth of the tunnel, no matter what happens outside, don't take the risk of impulsively rescuing, this is an order." ”

After he gave the order, he was about to walk out of the house with the correspondent Xiao Huang, but was pulled by Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao from both sides, and the two of them shouted in a low voice almost at the same time: "Commander Lei, don't you want to die?" Commander Nie handed you over to us for care, and you will rush out to kill the devil as soon as this improves, once you have a problem in the battle with the enemy, how can we explain to Commander Nie? ”

"Bastard logic, I am the regiment commander, and I am also the commander of the special operations team, now the situation is extremely urgent, once it is not handled properly, it will affect the second plan of my deployment, and it will also delay the task assigned to me by Commander Nie to command the only regiment to recover Fuping City, and the most important thing is that the comrades hidden in the tunnels will be in danger of their lives, so quickly flash me to the side."

Wang Ziming saw that Lei Jian was about to rush out to command the battle against the enemy regardless of his injuries and physical weakness, he didn't know whether it should be persuasion or support, but the situation was urgent, Wang Ziming had to step forward and say to Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao for the sake of the overall situation: "Don't worry, you two, I will follow Captain Lei, once there is danger outside, even if I fight for my life, I must cover Captain Lei to retreat into the tunnel safely." ”

Lei Jian felt that his body was fine, although the wound was still a little painful, but he could bear it, and he said to the three of them: "Don't worry about me, if there is really danger outside, Wang Xiaoliang will forcibly send me into the tunnel, retreat to the mouth of the tunnel, and be ready to retreat into the tunnel at any time." ”

At this time, more than a dozen figures walked in from the entrance of the alley, and walked over in a line with guns, and experienced veterans who were familiar with the formation of devils were the patrol of devils at a glance.

Wang Xiaoliang hid inside the gate, poked his head out and looked at more than a dozen blurred figures coming over, sweating nervously, he really didn't know if there would be a shootout in the fight with the enemy outside the gate, if the gunfire suddenly broke out at the beginning of the night, the patrolling devil team would surround this place in the shortest possible time.

Just when Wang Xiaoliang was nervously preparing to lead the soldiers to fight with the enemy, he was patted lightly behind him, this beat frightened Wang Xiaoliang all over his body, turned around and was about to kick the person who slapped him fiercely, and the person behind him shouted in a low voice: "Don't be too nervous, I am Lei Jian." ”

Wang Xiaoliang replied in a low voice without complaints: "Captain Lei, you scared me to death, if you hadn't spoken up in time, I would have kicked you hard." ”

"Don't speak, the devil who came in from the mouth of the alley is almost there, ready to make a sudden sneak attack and fight the enemy."

More than a dozen black shadows walked to more than 20 steps away from the gate of No. 17 Guanping Street, and suddenly stopped, these black shadows quickly dispersed, wandering around, as if they were looking for something, but the black goo in the alley couldn't see anything, what would these devils be looking for in this alley?

The three little devils walking in front of them, while walking and scanning the doors of the residents on both sides of the alley, there are still six or seven steps away from the seventeenth, the three black shadows walking in front stopped again, looking left and right, looking at the situation, this group of little devils did not dare to look for it with great fanfare, but took careful actions, for fear of making a disturbance and alarming the people in the alley.

Lei Jian saw that the devils were about to come up, he frowned and couldn't figure out, what were these little devils looking for in the black-lit alley? If it is said that it is an assault company that has infiltrated the city, it should directly enter the seventeenth courtyard under the guidance of the comrades who received it, and will not blindly look for the joint location by itself.

He found that these devils with guns seemed to be relatively tall, and it can be said that the devils during the Anti-Japanese War were half a head shorter than the men in China. Lei Jian found these black shadows that looked like devils, and he was very unfamiliar with the terrain in his cautiousness, if the devils found that there was a problem in this alley during the day, they would not search for them in time, and they would also attack the target in a sneak attack at night, and they would not search so hard at all.

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the costume style of the figure walking over was a devil, and he whispered an order to the soldiers around him: "Get ready for battle, once the devil in front of you walks to the door, immediately rush out and surround the devil, and kill this group of mongrels as quickly as possible." ”

Lei Jian approached Wang Xiaoliang and touched it lightly and said, "Xiaoliang, these black shadows are cautious and have too many suspicions, you guys are ready, I'll test it." ”

When Wang Xiaoliang heard Lei Jian's 'test it', he thought that he was going to rush out, so he grabbed him and shouted in a low voice: "Commander Lei, you are seriously injured now, don't risk going out, once you fight the little devil, you will ......." ”

Just as Wang Xiaoliang grabbed Lei Jian, Lei Jian stretched out his right hand to pinch his lips, and suddenly blew a whistle an octave lower than usual when the troops were in danger.

There were still six or seven steps away from the seventeenth courtyard and more than a dozen black shadows were looking around, and in the midst of the nervousness, they suddenly heard the familiar whistle, and one by one they suddenly straightened up, and the black shadows in front of them shouted excitedly: "Is it Captain Lei?" I'm Fang Liqiang, I, we finally see you again. ”

The soldiers of the guard platoon hidden on the ridge, the courtyard wall and the street gate heard that it was Fang Liqiang, the commander of the assault company, who took the initiative to talk, and they were like seeing their mother's family, and they rushed out of different hidden places excitedly, and they were about to rush out of the courtyard.

Lei Jian shouted in a low voice: "Stand still on the spot, don't move." He pulled Wang Xiaoliang out of the seventeenth courtyard, and more than a dozen black shadows saw two people appear at the gate of the courtyard, and they could recognize who these two people were from their size and figure.

Fang Liqiang took the lead in pounced on the Thunder Sword, and the Thunder Sword shouted to Wang Xiaoliang in a low voice: "Quickly block them and don't get close to me, once I don't know how serious the wound of my knife is in the night of the black rumbling, I will be so painful that I can't bear to scream." ”

Wang Xiaoliang rushed forward to block in front of Lei Jian, and shouted in a low voice to the figure that rushed over: "Don't be excited, Captain Lei is behind me, let's go into the courtyard immediately, and if you have something to say." ”

At this time, Feng Guang rushed to Lei Jian's side from one side, protected Lei Jian and said, "Commander Lei, you go into the house first, and Deputy Commander Wang and I will hand over to the comrades of the assault company in the courtyard, you can rest assured." ”

Lei Jian lightly pulled Feng Guang and ordered in a low voice: "You lead the second squad to be responsible for the internal and external vigilance of the seventeenth courtyard, don't shoot if you find anything suspicious, this is an order, did you hear it clearly?" ”
