Chapter 248: Striking the West
Lei Jian straightened his waist and replied, "Come here quickly, mine will prepare you immediately." As he spoke, he lifted the tarpaulin violently, and what he saw was a square black shadow, which should be a box containing shells and bullets.
He whispered to Zheng Tie beside him: "A few of you are ready around the stacking of ammunition, the two little devils in front will be handed over to me, and the three or two in the back will be killed by you."
The little devil ran to the thunder sword and the stack of weapons and ammunition, and bent down to pick up a box.
Lei Jian suddenly shot when the two little devils in front of him bent down to hold the boxes of bullets and shells, and as soon as the two devils in front of him grabbed the box, Lei Jian suddenly flew forward, raised the pig-killing knife in his hand, and wiped the necks of the two Japanese soldiers.
The devil who followed behind was stunned by Lei Jian's action, and just wanted to shout, Zheng Tie rushed to him with a few soldiers, and several people worked together to kill the little devil who ran to him.
Lei Jian seized the opportunity and ordered: "According to your personal ability, you can take as many shells or bullets as you can, and retreat immediately."
He found a box with a grenade, squatted on the ground and fiddled with it for a while, and when he saw Zheng Tie and the three people evacuating with the box, he immediately jumped out, pulled the string in his hand casually, pulled it suddenly, turned around and ran.
A violent explosion came from behind him, which was not so deafening at first, and then detonated the shells, grenades, and bullets in the other boxes, and suddenly erupted into an even more violent explosion, shaking the entire Osawa Mountain Range.
Captain Fujiwara Koji, who was standing in the room waiting for news, was suddenly shocked by a violent explosion and almost fell, and he scolded hysterically: "Yaga, Tubalu has attacked my temporary arms storage depot, bastard, I'm going to kill them all."
The devil troops, who were fighting with the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army, heard a deafening explosion in the camp, and they were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move.
Yamada, who commanded the firepower to attack the Eighth Route Army, turned around and saw that the mortar and heavy machine gun positions were moving forward, and the weapons and ammunition piled up behind them exploded, and the smoke and flames rose into the sky, and he wailed and shouted: "Bastard, Captain Fujiwara was careful in every possible way, and sent troops to strengthen the vigilance of the weapons and ammunition storage site.
Squadron Leader Masao Kosaka, who was a few miles away, heard an explosion from the east direction, and he shook his head in frustration and sighed: "The earth is so powerful, every time the earth is cleared and the base area of the earth is cleared, the weapons and ammunition of the army will be detonated by the sneak attack of the earth eight roads, and the only one who can do this strange thing is that damn half-old boy Lei Jian, is he still alive?"
Lei Jian detonated the devil's temporary weapons and ammunition storage depot, quickly withdrew from the enemy camp, caught up with Zheng Tie and a few people, and ordered in a low voice: "It's almost dawn, go around to the rear of the main position of the independent battalion, and act quickly."
Niu Dali saw several black shadows running towards the position, and ordered the soldiers to intercept and ask who was coming to Ming, and once it was a devil, he would be eliminated immediately.
A platoon of soldiers quickly approached Lei Jian and a few people, and before they could get to the front, they pulled the bolt of their guns and shouted, "What kind of person?"
"Don't shoot, it's Battalion Commander Lei who is back, come over and help." Zheng Tie shouted breathlessly.
When the soldiers heard that Commander Lei had returned, and that the hero who specialized in bombing weapons and ammunition for devils in their minds had returned, they quickly pounced, took the heavy box that Lei Jian was carrying on their shoulders, and withdrew to the position.
The platoon commander shouted from afar: "Deputy Battalion Commander Niu, it's Battalion Commander Lei who detonated the devil's weapons and ammunition depot, and they have come back, and they have brought back more than a dozen boxes of weapons and ammunition."
At this time, Wang Xiaoliang's assault platoon, which had been safely withdrawn, was fighting with the attacking little devils, and when he heard that Lei Jian was back, Wang Xiaoliang's heart finally put down, and said to Chun Tao beside him: "Sister Chun Tao, you can rest assured now, right?"
Lei Jian returned to his position, carefully observed the Japanese troops attacking about 100 meters away from the position, and resolutely ordered: "Concentrate fire to cover, mortars and heavy machine guns immediately withdraw from the position, retreat to the southwest, quickly approach Tiesheng Mountain, turn around and go east, quickly occupy Jiguan Mountain, three miles west of Aoshan, renovate the position, do a good job of concealment, and prepare to block the attack of the devils."
The heavily armed troops successfully withdrew from their positions, and Lei Jian ordered the troops to fight and retreat, quickly get rid of the little devils on the way to retreat, and move closer to the designated place.
The independent battalion began its operation against the Fujiwara Brigade at three o'clock in the morning, and after more than two hours of fierce fighting at night, it finally got rid of the pursuit of the devils and entered the southwest of Tiesao Mountain, and then suddenly turned around and headed east, heading straight for Jiguan Mountain, a mountain peak west of Ao Mountain.
Jiguan Mountain is more than 800 meters high, located in the remaining veins of the eastern foot of Daze Mountain, the east is the three peaks of Ao Mountain, the south is the mountains are continuous, the west is the open land with about several hundred acres of land, and there are several small hills in the north, it is an ideal strategic place to block the enemy's invasion base and strike back the enemy.
The sky was already bright, Lei Jian ordered the troops to quickly renovate and strengthen the position, and be sure that before the sun came out, all the troops entered the position in concealment, and the troops rested and replenished their food and prepared to meet the enemy.
Lei Jian ordered Zhang Ping to send a report to the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, making a brief report on the situation at night, the enemy's deployment, and the operational scope of the next independent battalion.
Commander Wu handed the telegram to Political Commissar Gao, and said with a smile: "I think this little thunder sword is the demon god of the Japanese army's weapons and ammunition depot, no matter how deep the devil hides and how strict the guards are, this stinky boy can find a way to blow it up, he is really a 'thunder general' that people have to admire, and the person is as his name and as it is."
"Hahaha, I can't understand this baby sometimes, why is he so capable? In the eyes of no one, it is impossible to complete the task, as long as he is dispatched, he will be able to make people's jaws drop, he is really a god boy with both wisdom and bravery. Commissar Gao nodded and praised.
Commander Wu continued: "According to the overall deployment of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters for the War of Resistance, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the 129th Division, in order to break the Japanese army's cage policy, will launch a sabotage war on Zhengtai Road with the destruction of the Japanese army's railways and highways as the main line, and require the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Battlefield to seek opportunities to attack the Japanese troops, contain the Japanese army and not send reinforcements, and it is possible to transfer the main force of the Jiaodong Eighth Route Army to the west to cooperate with the war of resistance in the western battlefield."
"If such a big operation is carried out, the pressure of our five detachments will be very great, and now Lei Jian leads the independent battalion in the enemy-occupied area, harassing the Japanese army, containing the main force of the Japanese army, and reducing the military and civilian smashing of the devils in the base area, which will be more dangerous for the independent battalion of Lei Jian, and the slightest negligence will be surrounded by the devil's army, once such a pattern is formed, it is difficult for the independent battalion to jump out of the encirclement carefully set up by the devil's army." Commissar Gao said worriedly.
Commander Wu said approvingly: "Yes, Lei Jian, this stinky boy killed the enemy bravely, witty and resolute, but in the face of the main force of the Japanese army several times larger than mine, it is difficult for an independent battalion to support such a big anti-Japanese war situation."
"Lei Jian proposed that the independent battalion be divided into parts, be flexible and mobile in the enemy-occupied area, concentrate superior forces, and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to sneak attack the enemy, and fight if he can, and run away if he can't. Political Commissar Gao said with a heavy heart.
Besides, Lei Jian led his troops to stealthily enter the position of Jiguan Mountain, broke away from the pursuit of the Fujiwara brigade, and was seizing the time to recuperate at this time, waiting for the potentially more arduous combat mission against the enemy.
The Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army's Mountain Column ordered the Lei Jian Independent Battalion to adopt a mobile and flexible strategy and tactics, not to engage in frontal combat with the enemy's large forces, and its main task was to maneuver around the enemy, contain the enemy, protect itself, and seek opportunities to fight again.
Lei Jian comprehended the true intention of the detachment's order, and he felt that the situation of the War of Resistance in front of him was very grim, and the only way out was to adopt guerrilla warfare with the enemy, preserve strength, and the strategy and tactics of the enemy moving and moving, the enemy chasing and running, and the enemy being tired and fighting.
At this time, Captain Fujiwara Koji, who was harassed by the Eighth Route Army at night and blew up the weapons and ammunition depot of the accompanying army, slapped each of the two squadron leaders, Yamada and Inuyo, and roared madly: "Yaga, a group of waste, the strength of the Eighth Route is less than one battalion, and when you enter the ambush position deployed by our Imperial Army Brigade, you will let them go, and it is unfavorable to chase them, and the Eighth Route of the Earth will disappear out of thin air, you are all bastards."
Yamada put down the hand covering his face, stood up and said: "Your Excellency Captain, the Tubalu is cunning and cunning, the Tubalu people who sneak attacked the imperial army should have a regiment of troops, their weapons and ammunition are very different from other Tubalu troops, much better, the imperial army is fighting with it at night, we are greatly fooled, the Tubalu adopts the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and blows up the weapons and ammunition of the imperial army, damn it."
Captain Fujiwara Koji ordered with no dissipation: "Order the Yamada squadron to send troops to reconnoiter the surroundings, the Dohachi Road that sneaked up on our imperial army will not escape too far, we must find them, and I will wipe out all this Dohachi Army."
