At this time, Lei Jian had already seen the movement of the devil's army on the east bank of the Yellow River very clearly, and if he wanted to block the devils on the east bank from crossing the Yellow River smoothly, slow down the speed of the devil's army marching westward, and free up precious time for the independent regiment to rush to the Peacock Valley assembly area of the Deshi Railway designated by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in time, it was necessary to block the devil's plan to erect a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River again.

Zhou Peng, who was lying beside Lei Jian, reminded in a low voice: "Commander Lei, the devils on the tidal flats of the Yellow River are about to climb to the shore, what should I do?" To fight or not to fight? ”

Lei Jian was in the telescope, and saw that more than a dozen little devils were about to climb to the beach on the west bank of the Yellow River, and he ordered more than 20 soldiers: "Wait until the devils climb up to the shore, every two people aim at a little devil, listen to my command and then shoot at the same time, and ask each soldier to kill the aiming devil with one shot, and after shooting, regardless of whether the devil is hit or not, immediately withdraw to the woods, jump on the war horse and evacuate quickly, without delaying for a moment." ”

The soldiers around him lay on the edge of the woods, from the woods to the place where the devils climbed up on the banks of the Yellow River, at most a hundred meters, and each soldier's marksmanship was very good, and there was no problem in killing the devils with one shot.

But they don't understand the thunder sword, there are just a dozen devils on the west bank of the Yellow River, there is no problem at all with shooting, why do they have to evacuate immediately after shooting? Are you so nervous? I can't help but pay little attention to this sneak attack.

Lei Jian looked at the little devils on the tidal flats on the west bank of the Yellow River, climbed onto the shore with great difficulty, and sat on the ground one by one tiredly holding guns, panting heavily.

The soldiers picked up their guns and aimed at the target they had locked, and when the thunder sword gave the order, they would instantly pull the trigger and kill the devil who was about to become dead.

Lei Jian saw that everything was ready, he aimed his gun at the head of a devil leader, and shouted in a low voice: "Listen to my command, I count to three, shoot immediately, one, two, three, shoot." ”

......More than 20 rifles were fired almost simultaneously, and the bullets flew away from the woods with a whistling sound, hitting the devil sitting on the west bank of the Yellow River like a chase for their lives, and the unalert devil did not expect that from the woods behind him, a sudden burst of gunfire, and this group of bastards didn't have time to turn their heads and look back, so they fell on the embankment.

Under the acceleration of the bullet, several devils fell headlong into the embankment after being shot, rolled and fell into the Yellow River, but their figures flashed before they were drowned by the roaring and turbulent river.

After Lei Jian finished shooting, he jumped up and ran towards the woods, shouting as he ran: "Speed up, whoever runs fast will live." ”

Whether the two dozen warriors believed it or not, when they saw that the thunder sword was like a wolf rushing into the mountains and forests, the speed at which they rushed for their lives, the soldiers behind them couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw it.

Staff Officer Zhou Peng, who was following behind, roared angrily: "Bastard, who is our Lei Regiment Leader?" He said that if there is danger, it must be very dangerous, and whoever doesn't want to live should just rub it in the back. ”

As soon as Zhou Peng's words fell, he suddenly heard a deafening whistling sound of cannonballs, dozens of cannonballs exploded in pursuit of their buttocks, and waves of air urged the soldiers behind them to run faster.

Lei Jian ran in front and turned around and shouted, "Don't even move, lie down on the spot." ”

The soldiers who were running suddenly shouted to lie down when they heard the thunder sword, and at this time they had to be convinced, and quickly fell down on the spot and held their heads.

In the second round, dozens of shells flew over the heads of the fighters and exploded in front, and the mud and shrapnel rose into the air, reaching the peak of the explosion, until the dust and mist of the explosion were scattered one after another. The warriors who fell to the ground were buried by the dust that flew up and fell.

The soldiers looked at the crater created by the explosion of the shell in front of them, and they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues, admiring Lei Jian's foresight even more. Without Lei Jian's order, they lay on the ground, not daring to move, looking at the dust and mist that was still falling one after another in horror.

After the devil mortar carried out the third round of artillery fire, Lei Jian shook his body, got up from the dirt, slapped the dust on his body, and shouted to the soldiers who were still lying on the ground: "Get up, the little devil should not fire again." ”

Qu Jiaming took a few steps to Lei Jian, stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "Commander Lei, my mother, you are really a god, you can calculate that the devils on the east bank of the Yellow River will bombard us, and run to the depths of the woods with the soldiers in advance, and when the devils finish the second round of artillery, you can calculate that there is a third round, and order to lie down on the spot, if you don't calculate it in advance, three rounds of shelling, more than 20 of our soldiers will be blown into meat by cannonballs, hahaha, you are too godly." ”

"Qu Jiaming, how do you talk bastard? The first few sentences were like human words, but in the end, you kid dared to scold, you are ...... to our head Lei. ”

"Staff Officer Zhou, no, I Qu Jiaming didn't mean that, I just admired our Captain Lei too much, in order to accentuate the tone, I unconsciously brought out dirty words, I was wrong."

He said and looked at Lei Jian embarrassedly and said: "Captain Lei, I really admire you, this excitement is a dirty word, I don't dare in the future, hehe, but, to be honest, I've changed it very well for a while, right?" In the past, it took less than three sentences to bring out dirty words, and now, now there are only one out of several sentences, if you pay attention, you can say a few more words without dirty words, there are a lot of group leaders, don't count me Qu Jiaming, this bastard, right? ”

Lei Jian couldn't cry or laugh when Qu Jiaming said, but he liked the character of this stinky boy, he dared to hate and love, he never covered for himself when he was wrong, and he was fierce and brave in battle, so if he trained it well, it should be no problem to be a company commander in the future.

He deliberately said seriously: "As long as you kid get rid of the stinky problems on your body in the future, I won't pursue you, if you change and reoffend, and if you commit it, don't say I'm ......." ”

When Qu Jiaming heard that although Lei Jian's tone was stern, what he could say made him like to listen to it very much, not only did he ask with a hippie smile: "Commander Lei, how did you calculate that the devils on the east bank of the Yellow River would bombard us?" ”

Lei Jian was not pretentious, and solemnly analyzed to the soldiers: "Do you think, the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army not only captured the Japanese positions on the east and west banks of the Yellow River, destroyed four strong bunkers, but also destroyed the Yellow River pontoon bridge erected by the devils with great effort, and inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese bridge-building and bridge-guarding troops, can the little devil commander spare us?"

Originally, the commander of the devil was not angry, at that time, the main force of the 372nd Wing reinforced to the east bank of the Yellow River, and saw that our Eighth Route Army drilled into the woods, dozens of mortars bombarded, and saw that there was no movement in the woods on the west bank of the Yellow River, and thought that the Eighth Route Army had retreated, but the commander of the devil wanted to rebuild the bridge, and he must be very concerned about this forest.

When we suddenly opened fire on a dozen devils who had crossed the Yellow River to the west bank, the Japanese commander on the east bank, who was already extremely angry, must order the artillery unit to keep a close eye on this wood, and be on standby at any time, and as soon as we find that a unit of the Eighth Route Army appears near the forest, immediately track down and open fire.

Since the devil has discovered us, how can he easily let it go? Trying to wipe us out in three rounds of artillery fire, this is only my analysis, I ordered the soldiers to do this, but I didn't expect to be guessed by the trick of the devil commander, and I made preparations in advance, this is also in the war, with life and blood to grope out the experience, not as exaggerated as you said. ”

Qu Jiaming and more than twenty soldiers listened to what Lei Jian said so lightly, they shook their heads and smiled: "Commander Lei, what you said is so simple, then why is it that none of us in the more than twenty people is as thoughtful as you think?" I can see it, follow your Commander Lei to carry out a dangerous mission, although there is a fright, but there is no danger, the excitement of the battle, and there are many things to learn, so you can simply accept us and become your guard platoon. ”

"Hahaha, don't give me nonsense, there is a guard platoon next to one of my regiment commanders to protect me, saying that people can laugh off their big teeth when I go out, and also saying that my Lei Jian official is not big, but my Lei Jian is not small, I don't want this infamous reputation."

"Hehe, Commander Lei, let's be honest, these soldiers want to follow you, not to protect you, but to participate in a few more exciting battles with you and learn more." A warrior named Kong Xiang said.

Lei Jian has a lot of things in his heart, and as long as the large army does not reach the gathering point designated by his superiors, his heart will always be unstable.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "We don't have time to grind our teeth here, and immediately get on our horses and chase after the big army." ”

More than 20 war horses, galloping on the country road, the dust that exploded flew into the air, covering the sky and the sun, looking at it from afar, like a yellow dragon, rolling in the sun and rushing to the southwest.

The villagers in the nearby villages, seeing the dust that exploded, thought that the dust was swept up by the strong wind, not only shook their heads and sighed: "Hey, what year is this, the little devils often enter the village to burn and loot, and the villagers have not had a good life all day, this year's crops are growing very ordinary, this day does not open his eyes, and there is a tornado, and the crops in the field are finished again." ”
