"Captain Lei." Under the reflection of the light cast into the house by the dawn, the soldiers recognized the person standing at the door like a door god, and it was actually their Thunder Commander, and shouted in admiration one by one.

Wang Xiaoliang squeezed to the door, looked at Lei Jian and said, "Captain Lei, thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with the four or five outlaws in this house." ”

Lei Jian was able to appear in time, it was he who took a battalion to hide in the green gauze tent at the east gate of the city, and saw Wang Xiaoliang leading a platoon of the second battalion, witty and resolute, and cleaned up the puppet army standing guard at the city gate without a single shot, he ordered the first battalion to follow into the city immediately.

He rushed into the city gate, heard the enemy puppet army guarding the barracks at the east gate of the city, and a fierce fight came from the house, he ordered Zhang Ting: "You take the first and second companies to quickly surround the Japanese transfer station in the northwest corner of the city according to the sketch I made, and I will go over and follow the team." ”

Lei Jian jumped to the door of the house where he was fighting in the house in a few steps, and when he saw the four shirtless little devils in the house, with white cloth on their hips, they were frantically fighting with the soldiers, and the well-trained little devils didn't take the dozen or so soldiers who rushed into the house in their eyes at all, just because there were many soldiers in the Eighth Route Army, in a small house, they would not kill these four little devils in a short time.

When he saw a little devil taking advantage of the fight, he suddenly jumped off the bed, close to the place where the gun was placed at the door, and reached out to touch the gun, Lei Jian's right arm moved, and the pig-killing knife slid into the palm of his hand, and his wrist was reversed.

The other three devils who were on the bed board, condescendingly continued to fight with the warriors, one of them frantically fought the warriors around him, when this devil twisted the neck tendon of a warrior, Lei Jian could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, shouted and threw out the pig-killing knife, inserted it in front of the devils, and then snatched the bayonets in the hands of the two soldiers around him, shouting 'Quickly dodge', and at the same time threw out the two bayonets in his hands, and the bayonets were inserted into the chests of the two little devils respectively, and the life-and-death struggle in the house ended.

Lei Jian didn't have time to say anything else to Wang Xiaoliang and the soldiers, he ordered loudly: "Deputy Commander Wang, immediately seize the weapons, ammunition and useful things in the enemy's puppet military house, arrange the guards of the four city gates, gather the troops that can be drawn, and quickly reinforce the battle of the Japanese army." ”

After he gave the order, he took the guard squad like a whirlwind, and he didn't enter the city in the blink of an eye, and soon he couldn't see them.

At this time, when Li Gang saw the east gate of Fudong County, which had been taken by the second battalion led by Wang Xiaoliang, he followed closely behind the first battalion, led the third company of the first battalion and the first company of the cavalry battalion, and rushed into the county seat.

Li Gang ordered the commander of the third company beside him: "The task of your company is to surround the garrison of the Imperial Alliance Army defending the city, mainly to persuade surrender, once the puppet army resists, quickly counterattack with the greatest firepower, and strive to solve the battle in the shortest time." One platoon was left to guard the guards, and the other two platoons occupied every street in the county town, and secretly hunted and killed the patrolling enemy puppet troops, and there was a shootout, which was to be eliminated mercilessly. ”

He ordered Song Chun, a cavalry company: "Company Commander Song, you lead two cavalry platoons to patrol quickly along the city, and if you find the enemy, don't let it go, destroy it in the shortest possible time, and immediately send reinforcements wherever you hear the fierce gunfire in the city." ”

Li Gang arranged for the main forces under his leadership to be responsible for the security of the urban area and to crack down on the enemy puppet army and local reactionary organizations that were discovered.

Everything was ready, and Li Gang ordered the cavalry soldiers in a row and in a row: "Follow me in a platoon." ”

At this time, it was the county seat in the early morning, and the people who got up early and left home to run errands found that the county town suddenly touched so many Eighth Route Army, and they didn't know what was going to happen, but they could guess that so many Eighth Route Army entered the city, it must be running to the little devils, they were afraid of the disaster and life, so they turned their heads and ran home, and for a while, the streets and alleys kept coming out of the chaotic footsteps of running.

Li Gang led a platoon of cavalry and was conducting a rapid search along a street when suddenly a small group of enemy puppet troops appeared at the bend in the street in front of him.

This enemy puppet army is a patrol team responsible for patrolling these streets, just turned the corner of the wall after the shift was handed over, and suddenly found that more than 20 horsemen appeared from the opposite side, and a little devil shouted suspiciously: "The cavalry squad that came from the front, what are you doing?" ”

Li Gang patted his horse without fear, looked at the enemy puppet army coming on the opposite side, and ordered the cavalry soldiers beside him: "Prepare to cut and kill." But he took advantage of the dim light of the early morning, and suddenly shouted to the enemy puppet army who came over: "Bastard, Lao Tzu entered the city to find you, come, stretch out your head and wait for death." ”

The soldiers of the cavalry platoon carried sabers and rushed forward, and the horses neighed and quickly approached the patrol of the enemy puppet army, and before the enemy could react, the cavalry soldiers waved their sabers and slashed hard.

The enemy puppet army was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, the puppet army turned around and ran, five or six little devils pulled the trigger with their guns and were about to shoot to resist, but how can the actions of these little devils be compared with the galloping war horses? Before the little devil could pull the trigger, he was surrounded by cavalry soldiers and slashed to death.

The enemy puppet army that escaped a few steps was surrounded by the cavalry soldiers who caught up in the middle, and Li Gang shouted: "Squat on the ground, raise your gun and surrender, but spare you from dying." ”

Eight or nine puppet soldiers were so frightened that their legs trembled, how could they still squat down, 'pounce' on their knees, raised their guns with both hands above their heads, and cried out like a mournful examiner: "Grandpa Balu, spare your life." ”

Li Gang held a saber in his hand, the tip of the knife against the shoulder of a puppet soldier, and asked sharply: "Who is the head of you here?" Stand up for me. ”

A puppet soldier raised his gun above his head, stood up tremblingly, and said carefully: "Eighth Road Chief, I am the squad leader of the Imperial Cooperative Army, what are your orders?" ”

"When I ask you, answer me simply, clearly, and honestly, how many people are in your company and the puppet army company on that street? Say it. ”

In order to survive, the squad leader of the puppet army did not dare to lie and hurriedly said: "Sir, the Imperial Association Army is stationed in the barracks of North Street of Fudong City, there is a company and two other platoons of more than 160 people, the commander is the commander of the 78th Battalion sitting in the city to command, the small ones dare not lie, tell the truth, if there is half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms ......in the sky." ”

As soon as Li Gang heard that there was more than one company of the puppet army stationed in Fudong City, he immediately realized that just relying on one battalion and three companies to besiege the puppet army garrison, I am afraid it would not be so easy to be taken, he shouted: "If you puppet soldiers want to survive, take out the speed of going up the mountain to chase rabbits, and run in front to lead the way, have you heard it?" ”

At this time, the eight or nine puppet soldiers who had been disarmed listened to the commander of the Eighth Route Army who was riding on a tall horse, and ordered them to run in front to lead the way. ”

Eight or nine puppet soldiers did not dare to slack off, ran forward desperately, just turned an alley, and suddenly in the direction of North Street, fierce gunfire rang out, and in less than a few minutes, the entire county town burst into gunfire.

In addition, the commander of the third company of the first battalion arranged a platoon of soldiers to continue to search for the enemy puppet army in the urban area, and he took two platoons to take a shortcut to the puppet army garrison on North Street, and approached the puppet army camp, and was found by two puppet soldiers standing guard at the door, holding guns and shouting: "What kind of troops are you?" This is the garrison of the 78th Battalion, stop it for Lao Tzu. ”

The commander of the third company of the first battalion saw that he was discovered by the puppet army, and it was impossible to sneak attack, so he waved the big-bellied box in his hand, 'snapped' a few shots, knocked down the two puppet soldiers standing guard, and led two platoons of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to pounce on the puppet army barracks.

The puppet army commander of the 78th battalion of the puppet army, who was holding a young woman who got out of nowhere in the house, suddenly heard a gunshot outside the camp door, followed by a chaotic run in the camp, and the puppet army in the yard fled into the house frantically, he pushed away the woman next to him, put on his pants naked, and ran out of the house with a pistol.

At this moment, a puppet army rushed in from the courtyard and crashed into the arms of the battalion commander, almost knocking the puppet battalion commander down.

The commander of the puppet army battalion grabbed the puppet army who rushed in and scolded: "Bastard, when you hear the sound of gunfire, you drill into the house, when can't you hear gunshots in the city?" Commander of the Ninth Company, tell me quickly, what happened outside the camp? ”

"Report to the battalion commander, the two brothers who were standing guard outside the city gate were killed by several Tubalu, these Tubalu are about to rush in, I order the brothers who fled into the house to shoot and resist immediately, battalion commander, you call quickly, ask for help from the captain of the imperial army squadron stationed in the county seat, our strength of more than one company can not withstand the well-armed Tubalu."
