Thank you for giving away a valuable monthly pass, and today I will add more to it, so as to thank you, ladies and gentlemen, send a monthly pass to support.

He didn't know whether Jiro Miura could successfully pass the pass in the end, but he mistakenly blocked the city gate and suppressed the crowded crowd, causing Lei Jian to lead the soldiers who infiltrated into the city to rush out of the county without danger, which was his credit and his sin.

Lei Jian led the soldiers out of the city and quickly returned to the hill where the cavalry reconnaissance platoon was hidden, and when he saw Zhang Ping, director of the telecommunications office who accompanied the operation, he asked in the first sentence: "Where is the main force now?" ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, after telecommunication with the political commissar Luo of the large army, the main force has bypassed Guangxingcheng, and at this time it is more than 40 miles away from the county seat, and is continuing to move closer to the bank of the Yellow River according to the predetermined route." Zhang Ping reported.

Lei Jian ordered the soldiers beside him: "Change into Japanese military uniforms, set off immediately, meet the 2nd Brigade of the 372nd Wing that is fanning towards the western line of the Yellow River, do not have a fierce battle, all actions, obey my command, and set off." ”

The cavalry reconnaissance platoon of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army quickly changed its clothes and jumped on the war horse, under the leadership of Lei Jian, rushed towards the southwest, the war horse galloped, the sound of horse hooves was broken, and dozens of war horses were like a whirlwind, under the cover of the green gauze tent, all the way forward, the dust behind him exploded, and under the sunlight, it turned golden, and the back was slowly dissipating, and the front continued to fly.

The cavalry reconnaissance platoon was marching, and suddenly three war horses rushed out of the oblique stab, and before the war horses rushed to the cavalry reconnaissance platoon, they were forced to stop by Lei Jian's words.

Lei Jian had already found that from the southwest direction, a small piece of dust in the air was floating, and with the rapid movement, Lei Jian believed that there were less than five war horses galloping, and the flying dust was flying around, and he ordered the cavalry soldiers beside him: "Prepare for battle, no order is not allowed, no attack." ”

Just as the three war horses rushed over, Lei Jian shouted, "I am Lei Jian." ”

The cavalry on the war horse immediately reined in the war horse, and when the cavalry reconnaissance platoon rushed to the front, a cavalryman led by him shouted: "Commander Lei, I can hope you come back, Commissar Luo is not at ease, and asked me to come back to meet you, I didn't expect to meet here so soon." ”

"Deputy Commander Wang, don't waste time, let's talk while hurrying on the road, don't be verbose, explain the direction and speed of the large army in a simple and clear way, how far is it from the bank of the Yellow River?"

Wang Xiaoliang turned his horse's head, parallel to Lei Jian, he looked at Lei Jian and said: "Commander Lei, the main force is near Yangjiazhuang, more than fifty miles to the northwest, and it is speeding up, with a speed of about ten miles per hour, about more than a hundred miles away from the bank of the Yellow River. ”

Lei Jian said happily: "It seems that the main force marches day and night, and it is not slow, didn't you meet the search force of the devils on the road?" ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the troops have been walking in concealment on the dirt road of the green gauze tent, and do not dare to take the main road to publicize, and then there are cavalry battalions guarding the front and back, left and right, and when the enemy situation is discovered, immediately report to the political commissar Luo, or stop or change the route of the march, plus the cover of the green gauze tent, it has not been discovered by the enemy's large army in front of me." Wang Xiaoliang replied with a smile.

Lei Jian ordered the troops to move forward quickly, and they must catch up with the large force in an hour.

The main reason why he accelerated his speed to catch up with the large army was that he had to seize the time because he had to immediately supplement and change the course of action and further improve the strategic plan for forcibly crossing the Yellow River on the basis of secret documents obtained from the county seat.

At this time, Luo Jinchuan, the political commissar led the main force to speed up the march, and he received information from the cavalry units guarding him from time to time, and issued the marching route for the main force to advance in the shortest possible time, so that although he had to take some detours, he might bypass the enemy, avoid encountering the enemy, and cause unnecessary fierce battles, so that the marching speed was much faster.

Political Commissar Luo Jinchuan was not afraid of engaging the enemy, he knew very well the importance of the westward advance of the main force this time, and if he could not reach the assembly area designated by his superiors in time, he might delay the implementation of the entire major campaign.

While the troops were marching, they suddenly heard the sensational sound of dozens of war horses stepping on the ground behind them, Luo Jinchuan looked back and saw the green gauze tent from a distance, like a big tornado, whistling over.

Just when Luo Jinchuan frowned and was anxious, the correspondent of the third cavalry company who was responsible for blocking the enemy in the rearguard, rushed to him with a horse, and shouted before he had time to jump off the horse: "Political Commissar Luo, I found a Japanese cavalry team, which was rapidly rushing towards the marching large army from behind, and Deputy Battalion Commander Ma ordered me to come and report." ”

Luo Jinchuan rushed to a bulging ridge, picked up his binoculars and looked at the rushing cavalry, the more he looked, the more nervous he became, he waved his hand and ordered the guards who followed him: "Immediately upload my order, order the troops to enter the green gauze tent to hide, and prepare for battle." ”

"Stop giving orders, wait for me to see." Luo Jinchuan leaned the telescope against his eye sockets, observed carefully, and suddenly laughed and said: "I can see clearly, it is Deputy Commander Wang Xiaoliang, who came up with a Japanese cavalry team, I guess this Japanese cavalry team must be our Commander Lei, who led the one disguised as a Japanese cavalry reconnaissance platoon, completed the task, and caught up from behind." ”

Luo Jinchuan ordered the soldiers who had slowed down their march: "Continue to maintain a fast march, and do not slow down without orders." ”

It didn't take long for the cavalry reconnaissance platoon led by Lei Jian to catch up, and Luo Jinchuan rushed up and shouted: "Commander Lei, you are back, how are you?" There was no danger in the city, did you? ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for Commander Lei taking the lead in rushing out of the city gate, I can't say that our cavalry platoon will be completely covered in the city, and I really can't say if I can have the life to see you again." Song Tiedan didn't know whether he was showing off or shouting in fear.

Luo Jinchuan pulled the thunder sword who jumped off the war horse and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Lei Jian said to Luo Jinchuan: "Political Commissar Luo, according to the secret documents we have obtained, there is a deviation in the course of action we set earlier, and we order the troops to pause first, rest on the spot, and wait for the new marching order. ”

Luo Jinchuan said: "Commander Lei, you quickly give the order to stop advancing." ”

"This order is still issued by you, and I will leave the large army in a while, rush to the bank of the Yellow River in advance, and make specific arrangements and preparations for the troops to forcibly cross the Yellow River." Lei Jian is not humble, but he can't follow the big army, this suddenly issued an order, and there was no figure, afraid that the soldiers of the army could not find the north of the suspicion.

The troops received the order to rest on the spot, and Lei Jian gathered the cadres above the battalion level together, and according to the captured secret documents and the sketches he made, he made a detailed breakdown of the commanders at all levels, and finally ordered: Order the cavalry battalion to follow Lei Jian's actions and bring sufficient weapons, ammunition, and combat readiness tools.

Niu Dali was ordered to lead the 1st Infantry Battalion to march 120 miles day and night at the fastest speed and in accordance with the newly determined marching route, and to arrive at the designated place at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The second battalion of Cao Shangui's infantry was ordered to march rapidly to a forest more than ten miles away from the Yellow River, cut down trees, try to resist a trunk with a thick bowl mouth per person, and secretly moved closer to the assembly area of the Yellow River.

The third battalion of Qi Benfeng's infantry, the organs of the escort regiment, and all non-combat departments were ordered to march quickly, and the safety of personnel and military supplies must be ensured, and once the enemy who is encircled and intercepted is discovered, it is necessary to cover the organs of the regiment and various departments to march quickly to the assembly area of the Yellow River at all costs.

After Lei Jian gave the order, he pointed to the sketch on the ground and said: "In these places, there should be enemy strongholds or turrets, no matter which unit is acting alone, don't be alarmed, it can pass secretly, and the whereabouts of the troops must not be exposed. ”

He looked at the battalion commanders in a circle and asked, "Do you all understand your mission?" ”

"Understood, please rest assured, the head of the regiment, resolutely complete the task."

Lei Jian looked at Luo Jinchuan and asked: "Political Commissar Luo, according to the plan I studied before the meeting, we have now sent it to each battalion as an order, what do you think there is anything to add?" ”

Before Luo Jinchuan could speak, a soldier suddenly ran from the front, and shouted from afar: "Commander Lei, Political Commissar Luo, I found a squadron of devils in front." ”
