After a short time, Lei Jian hurriedly walked out of the house, rushed to the door in a few steps, and saw that Song Tiedan led the guard squad to prepare the war horse and wait outside, he took the reins of the horse, leaped forward, and sat firmly on the saddle.
Lei Jian suddenly shouted 'Ride', whipped on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse galloped out of Gangtou Village, a group of more than a dozen war horses, crossing the dirt road with green gauze tents on both sides, aiming at Honghecao, sprinting away.
The war horse rushed into the head of Honghecao Village, Lei Jian restrained the war horse, and said to the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the village: "I am Lei Jian, the commander of the newly formed independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and I am about to see Commander Yang, these are all ......." ”
"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, Commander Yang has informed us that once Regiment Commander Lei arrives, we will pass immediately." A sentry stepped out of the way and said politely.
Lei Jian sweated profusely into Honghecao Village, jumped off his horse, and galloped into the headquarters of the first division set up here, which is also the location of the head organ of the central column of the Jinchaji Military Region, Lei Jian stood at the door and shouted: "Report to Commander Yang, Lei Jian is here to report." ”
When Commander Yang heard that Lei Jian was coming, he stood up and greeted the door, took Lei Jian's hand and said, "Commander Lei is very punctual, he arrived five minutes early, and we will have a meeting immediately." ”
Lei Jian walked into the house and saw six or seven cadres standing up to greet him, Commander Yang waved his hand and said: "Sit down, time is urgent, we don't have time to be polite, this is the first army subdivision of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the last military meeting of the commanders of all the participating troops in the general battle of Zhengtai Road, and I will deploy combat tasks below."
Order the third regiment to be the main attacking force in the battle of Jingcheng Coal Mine, Commander Qiu, your task is very heavy, all the way to the assembly area, the troops are very hard, but to do a good job in mobilization, we must fight this battle well. ”
Lei Jian listened to Commander Yang hand over the task of attacking the Jingcheng Coal Mine to the Third Regiment of the First Army Division, not only did he not feel emotional, but he respected this unit very much, because this 'old third regiment' was one of the two most competent main regiments in Jinchaji.
During the march, it happened to encounter continuous heavy rain, and when it arrived at the Hutuo River, the river rose in a flash flood, and the tumbling river waves were covered with white spray, slapping against the steep bank, causing great difficulties to the three regiments who were in a hurry to cross the river.
Commander Qiu raised his hand and looked at his watch, and ordered the deputy regiment commander: "The river is turbulent and cannot be crossed, so immediately find a boat upstream and downstream on the bank, cross the river quickly, and arrive at the Jingcheng Coal Mine assembly site on time." ”
After a short time, the deputy regiment commander ran back in the rain and reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Qiu, only five small boats have been found along the coast, and we have more than 2,000 soldiers, so we will not be able to cross the river until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, so we will not be able to catch up with the general raid." ”
"Nonsense, we are the main force in the general raid battle, even if we spare everything, we must arrive on time." Regiment Commander Qiu said to Political Commissar Wang beside him: "Political Commissar Wang, it seems that our large army cannot rely on ferries to cross the river, and we must come up with a simple and feasible method that is dangerous but must ensure that the troops arrive at the assembly area on time. ”
Commander Qiu first ordered to load all the weapons and ammunition on the boat and ferry over, the boat went to the opposite bank, found a thick rope, fixed the rope on the other side of the river, sent the other end over, and ordered the soldiers to pull the rope and quickly cross the river.
Soon three ropes were sent from the opposite bank, and the commander of the regiment Qiu ordered the troops to cross the river immediately, and the soldiers of the third regiment braved the continuous rain and muddy roads to run long distances, and were exhausted.
A large number of soldiers swam safely to the opposite bank, and the soldiers who were crossing the river in the follow-up knew that the task was tight, and regardless of the difficulties and dangers, they rushed down the river beach, grabbed the ropes one by one, and quickly swam to the opposite bank.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "The rope is about to break...... Before the shouting warriors could finish delivering the danger signal, a rope across the Hutuo River was disconnected from the middle of the river, and the warriors who were holding the rope were instantly swept away by the turbulent river.
Regiment Commander Qiu ran along the river beach and shouted: "Organize rescue immediately, and the soldiers who know how to water stand up bravely." ”
After struggling to rescue, some soldiers were rescued from the tumbling river, but there were still many soldiers who did not die on the battlefield of killing the little devils, but were killed by the raging river.
After a dangerous swim crossing, the 3rd Regiment finally crossed the Hutuo River, and marched rapidly to a distance of 10 miles from the Jingcheng Coal Mine to hide and stand by.
Lei Jian was recalling the information he had learned about the Third Regiment before he crossed over, when he suddenly heard Commander Yang ask: "Commander Lei Jian, you won't have an opinion on ordering the Third Regiment to take on the task of general attack, right?" ”
"Report to Commander Yang, I have no opinion on Lei Jian, the third regiment is the old Red Army, most of the regiment from the regiment to the squad are the old Red Army, the equipment of the troops is all three or eight big covers, each company has six or seven Makqin light and heavy machine guns, and the third regiment is one of the two main regiments of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, my Lei Jian can fight with such a big brother regiment, no, it should be the 'old Red Army' of my grandfather's generation, it is the honor and pride of my Lei Jian and the 'only regiment'."
The regiment commanders and political commissars of the First Army Division, listening to Lei Jian, the head of the fart boy, spoke so funny, and laughed happily one by one: "Okay, Regiment Commander Lei is not very old, and he is a good brother when he speaks." ”
Commander Yang was also amused by Lei Jian's words, but time was pressing, and he didn't have time to say anything else, so he restrained his smile and asked, "Commander Lei, you said on the phone that you were looking for me, and if you said anything before the war, everyone can help analyze and analyze." ”
Lei Jian took out a piece of paper from his briefcase, spread it on the conference table and said: "Commander Yang, this is my visit to Gangtou Village near the Jingcheng Coal Mine, according to the information obtained, the information provided by Li Yu on the line of the mine, and the explanation of catching two puppet army prisoners, after several revisions, the sketch of the Japanese army strength and firepower deployment in the new mine of Dongwangshe, in the upcoming battle, the main targets of our regiment have been marked, please Commander Yang to give our regiment a combat mission." ”
"Very good, I didn't expect that Regiment Commander Lei has deployed reconnaissance, internal intelligence and troop deployment in place according to the preliminary battle plan, it seems that your 'only regiment' cooperates with the third regiment to storm the Jingcheng Coal Mine and take the Dongwangshe New Mine, you are already confident, right?"
Commander Yang took the battle sketch handed to him by Lei Jian, nodded and continued: "Commander Lei, although the enemy's troops are not much in the Dongwangshe New Mine, the hidden forts laid by the Japanese army and the several artillery towers in the mining area are not easy at all compared to the task of the third regiment as the main attack on the two mining areas. ”
"Please rest assured that as long as the battle starts, my 'One Regiment' will advance with the most fierce firepower and cooperate with the main attack of the Third Regiment."
Commander Qiu of the Third Regiment didn't know much about the big-talking baby Commander Lei Jian in front of him, but he just heard Commander Yang say a little, and at this time he solemnly proposed: "Commander Lei, we are fighting against fierce devils, and it is not enough to just talk about kung fu, that is to fight the enemy with the blood and lives of the soldiers." I heard that your regiment is a newly formed unit, and it is still some new soldiers, and I am afraid that it will ....... ”
Lei Jian felt that Commander Qiu thought what he said was bragging, and he said without being angry at all: "Commander Qiu, you are right, my 'only regiment' is a new soldier and a new unit that has just been formed for a short time, but I am very confident in my army, and in this battle, I will never drag the famous third regiment back." ”
Regiment Commander Qiu looked at Lei Jian, from the beginning of his ignorance of Lei Jian, through Lei Jian in front of the head of the first division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the heads of each regiment, a young doll regiment leader can swear so much, not only glanced at Lei Jian.
He said with a smile: "Commander Lei is too sensitive, I don't have the slightest intention of looking down on the 'only regiment', I just want to communicate with Commander Lei, in this battle, how our two regiments can cooperate and fight this battle well, that's all." ”
'Hahaha', Lei Jian said briskly: "Commander Qiu, I know that you are a brave and decisive commander, and with the encouragement of your words, you are ......." ”
Lei Jian raised his wrist and looked at his watch as he spoke, and said solemnly: "Commander Qiu, the Zhengtai Road raid that will be recorded in history will be called the 'Hundred Regiment Battle' in the future, as well as the battle of Jingcheng Coal Mine, which will start in two hours and twenty-seven minutes, I Lei Jian is here to respect Commander Qiu very much, we are on the battlefield, I will say that we will definitely be good brothers soaked in blood." ”
