Lei Jian said to the county squadron captain Ma: "Ma Ming, at present, your county squadron is no longer an organization, in order to cooperate with your county squadron to complete the instructions of the district committee, temporarily organize your county squadron into five independent battalions, one company and three platoons, you are the leader of the third platoon, how about it?" What are your thoughts? ”

"Great, I have long wanted to participate in the main force, this time the soldiers of the county squadron will jump up with joy, don't worry, Battalion Commander Lei, I will resolutely carry out the order." Ma Ming replied happily.

Lei Jian was not verbose, and ordered decisively: "Order Niu Dali and Wang Xiaoliang to be the deputy battalion commanders of the independent battalion, Zhang Ping to be the telecommunications captain, Li Gang to be the commander of the first company, Zheng Tie to be the commander of the second company, Cao Shangui to be the commander of the third company, Chun Tao to be the health captain, and the platoon commanders of each platoon." ”

After announcing the appointment, he said: "This appointment, immediately report to the detachment headquarters for the record, our main tasks at present, stick to the Aoshan border area, protect the people in the border area, expand propaganda, expand armament warfare, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and provide the detachment headquarters with accurate information on the enemy's movements. ”

"It's clear, please rest assured that the battalion commander will resolutely carry out the order."

"Okay, leave a company in Aoshan, closely monitor the surrounding enemy situation, and the troops will go to Heliu Village at the foot of Aoshan for training and move immediately."

Lei Jian reorganized the troops and ordered Cao Shangui, the commander of the third company, to lead the third company to hold Aoshan, and the troops immediately marched to Heliu Village.

When they saw that the troops of the Eighth Route Army had returned to the village, every household happily went out to greet them, and in the hearts of the villagers, as long as the Eighth Route Army was stationed in the village, the enemy and the puppet army would not dare to harass again.

Lei Jian ordered the troops to help each family renovate their houses, and the village formed a task force to help the troops raise food, publicize, agitate, and mobilize young people to join the Eighth Route Army and go to the battlefield to fight the little devils.

After an efficient work process, strong men from nearby villages enthusiastically signed up for the Eighth Route Army, and in just two days, Lei Jian's independent battalion increased from three companies to five companies.

Lei Jian saw that the troops had increased so much all of a sudden, and food, shelter and clothing had become a major headache for him, and relying on the little food raised by the villagers alone could not solve the big problem at all.

In order to solve the urgent need of food and clothing and the replenishment of weapons and ammunition, Lei Jian called Ma Ming, the commander of the first and third platoons of the former county squadron and now the independent battalion, and asked about the garrison of the enemy puppet army near the foot of Ao Mountain, and finally decided to attack Liugong Town.

Liugong Town is seven or eight miles away from Heliu Village, the town is stationed with a Japanese squad, a company of puppet army, this garrison of the enemy puppet army, close to the Eighth Route Army base area, weapons and equipment and food reserves are very sufficient, if you can successfully take Liugong Town, weapons, ammunition, food and other military supplies will be given to the newly established Eighth Route Army independent battalion, solve a big problem.

Lei Jian didn't have time to wait, he led the reconnaissance team drawn from each company, led by Ma Ming, and quickly marched towards Liugong Town.

Liugong Town is located at the foot of Ao Mountain, and it is also the only way to the Ao Mountain Mountains, as long as the troops are deployed in Liugong Town, they can block the passage of the Eighth Route Army base from the west into the enemy's war zone, if there are troops guarding the three peaks of Ao Mountain, the enemy and us want to pass through Ao Mountain smoothly, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Lei Jian understood the geography near Aoshan and the distribution of troops between the enemy and us, and attached more importance to the strategic location of Aoshan.

While the reconnaissance team was marching, Ma Ming, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly stopped and pulled the thunder sword and said: "Battalion Commander Lei, the big town in front is Liugong Town, let's just go in in broad daylight, I'm afraid it's too dangerous, right?" ”

Lei Jian ordered the troops to hide on a small high ground, looked at the Liugong Town in front and asked, "Platoon Commander, the enemy puppet army is deployed in the town." ”

"The captain of the devil squad is very insidious and cunning, and he is very tightly guarded in Liugong Town, and at every intersection into the town, he is guarded by troops, and it is not easy to get in." Platoon Commander Zhao said a little embarrassed.

Lei Jian ordered: "Wang Xiaoliang, Ma Ming, bring three soldiers and follow me into the city, Li Gang and the other soldiers stay here, ready to reinforce at any time." ”

Six people dressed in ordinary people's clothes, carrying bundles of branches and weeds on their shoulders, walked slowly towards Liugong Town.

Approaching the north intersection of the town, I saw five little devils and a squad of puppet soldiers, holding guns and eyebrows to check the pedestrians, slightly inferior to the meaning of this group of mongrels, either opening their mouths to abuse, or punching and kicking, under the obscenity of the enemy puppet army, the pedestrians who entered and exited the town dared not speak angrily.

The six Lei Jian people walked to the checkpoint of the enemy puppet army, and were blocked by several puppet soldiers, one of whom shouted with horizontal eyebrows: "Are you blind? Seeing that Taijun didn't hurry up to put down the broken firewood on your shoulders, and went on a special rampage, I think you don't want to live anymore, hurry, hurry up and step aside, and be inspected one by one. ”

Lei Jian walked in front, he put down the burden of firewood and said cautiously: "Boss, we are the poor people who go up the mountain to chop firewood, and we dare not do those things that endanger the imperial army, please raise your noble hand, you can let us in." ”

The puppet soldier who loves to stand out raised his foot and kicked at Lei Jian, and Lei Jian's body was about to dodge quickly, but he suddenly stopped, and was kicked the dry leg by the puppet army, so painful that he squatted on the ground and cried: "Boss, why do you beat people?" I'm just a poor boy chopping wood, are you? ”

"Bastard, you're not old, but you don't have a forgiving mouth, I'm going to hit you today, I think you can bite the ball off." The puppet soldier raised his foot and was about to kick Lei Jian's chest, just when the puppet army's right foot wearing leather shoes was about to touch Lei Jian's chest, Lei Jian's body shrank, clamped the puppet soldier's kicked foot, and suddenly let go.

The puppet army used too much force, and the foot kicked out was suddenly clamped by the thunder sword, and the body lost balance for a while, and the center of gravity was unstable and bounced on the left leg, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but he didn't expect that the thunder sword clamped the puppet army's stinky foot in his chest, and the body suddenly let go of the front, and the puppet army's body leaned back and fell to the ground.

The other puppet soldiers and little devils didn't see the thunder sword move, and the puppet army fell to the ground by itself, laughing sarcastically one by one.

The puppet soldier who fell to the ground who was laughed at by the enemy puppet army and felt humiliated got up with his hands in shame, put the gun in his hand, and stabbed at the thunder sword.

Wang Xiaoliang saw that the puppet army was crazy and stabbed at Lei Jian with a bayonet, so frightened that he rushed to Lei Jian and was about to make a move, and everyone else also rushed to Lei Jian's side.

Lei Jian saw that the brothers he brought were going to fight the enemy puppet army, and he knew very well in his heart that once he fought with the enemy at the intersection of the town, it would alarm the enemy puppet army in the entire town, and it would bring great trouble to them to complete the reconnaissance mission, and maybe it would be even more difficult to infiltrate Liugong Town in the future.

He was in a hurry and wanted to get up and run away, but before he could stand up, he seemed to be frightened by the bayonet stabbed by the puppet army and didn't stand firmly, and his body fell backwards, and he pressed Wang Xiaoliang who rushed up to the ground at the moment when the enemy puppet army didn't see it clearly.

Wang Xiaoliang was not lightly dropped, and he just wanted to question Lei Jian with his teeth, but Lei Jian scolded unrelentingly: "Bastard, the boss is joking with me, why do you still use it to have fun?" Don't hurry up and help me up. ”

The puppet army who stabbed Lei Jian with a bayonet, when he saw Lei Jian, a half-haired child, dodged the bayonet and fell to the ground, and saw that Lei Jian not only did not get up to resist, but watched his partner rush up, and scolded his partner, he felt that he had found enough face, and he didn't want to do more evil things, so he scolded with a pout: "Little bastard, you can't even stand on your feet, can you still go up the mountain to chop wood?" Fuck off. ”

The enemy puppet army saw Lei Jian's half-grown children lying on their backs on the ground, laughing one by one.

Lei Jian stood up with a roll, nodded and said: "Boss, you are a good person, a very good person, if your life is in danger, I will save your life." ”

"Nima's young man is playing tricks in front of me, get out of here." The puppet soldier shouted as he waved the gun in his hand.

Lei Jian and a few people, carrying their burdens, hurriedly passed the checkpoint of the enemy puppet army and walked into Liugong Town.

Liugong Town is the time when there are many people at this time, the pedestrians in the streets and alleys are constantly coming, Lei Jian and a few people carried firewood, came to a small alley where they bought and sold groceries, put down the burden, Lei Jian took off the hat on his head, and Pu fanned the sweat on his face and shouted: "Sell firewood cheaply——。 ”
