Wang Xiaoliang heard Wang Ziming say that Chu Shaopeng's first class, in order to cover the comrades' retreat into the tunnel, engaged in a life-and-death struggle with the enemy.

Wang Xiaoliang, who was very sad by this bad news, was about to rush to the mouth of the pit like crazy, and was hugged tightly by Wang Ziming, just when the two were tearing in the pit tunnel, suddenly from the ground at the mouth of the pit came from the devil to smash and find the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army who suddenly disappeared.

From time to time, there was a knocking sound of devils from the cover at the mouth of the tunnel, and it disappeared for a while, and then there was a ramming, which frightened Wang Ziming and shouted in a low voice: "Deputy Commander Wang, the enemy keeps chiseling near the cover of the mouth of the tunnel, I am afraid that our hidden mouth of the tunnel will be discovered by the little devils sooner or later." ”

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang also heard the movement above, for the safety of the soldiers and seriously wounded hidden in the tunnel, he began to calm down, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and every time the enemy approached the cover and made a move, his heart thrust.

The two of them paid close attention to the movement on the ground under the mouth of the tunnel, did not dare to be careless at all, and were ready to activate the device preset at the entrance of the tunnel at any time, once the enemy found the mouth of the tunnel, they would immediately detonate the device and explode to block the tunnel.

The two underground anti-Japanese comrades standing against the wall of the tunnel made all preparations according to Wang Ziming's arrangement, and as long as they received an order, they could detonate the device at any time.

Wang Ziming stood next to Wang Xiaoliang, feeling that Wang Xiaoliang, an anti-Japanese hero who put life and death aside on the battlefield, was a little nervous at this time.

He didn't know whether Wang Xiaoliang sacrificed all the soldiers of Chu Shaopeng's group, wanted to avenge his comrades-in-arms in grief, and trembled uncontrollably in his heart, or had no experience in the underground anti-Japanese struggle, and trembled nervously for the safety of his comrades-in-arms and comrades in the tunnel, or both.

In order to stabilize Wang Xiaoliang's emotions, Wang Ziming was also afraid that once Wang Xiaoliang was impulsive, he would do something stupid that people would regret, he said with concern: "Deputy Head Wang, here I and two comrades are closely monitoring, and when it comes to a critical juncture, I will immediately detonate the device to blow up the tunnel in and out of the tunnel, and block the enemy outside the tunnel.

I would like to ask Deputy Regiment Commander Wang to immediately report the situation here to Regiment Commander Lei, as well as the movements of the devils on the ground, and come up with a plan of action for the next step to actively deal with the enemy as soon as possible, Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, you see ....... ”

When Wang Xiaoliang heard Wang Ziming say this, he was in his heart with grief and worry about the tunnel, and he was about to report the situation to Lei Jian immediately, not only nodded and said in a low voice: "It's okay, Minister Wang, please leave it to you and your comrades here." ”

He groped his way along the tunnel to quickly come to the second tunnel where Lei Jian and his comrades were hidden, and when he saw the people hidden in the tunnel, some were standing and some were squatting against the cave wall, and some were sitting on the ground without knowing what was under their stomachs.

The comrades saw a figure coming from the end of the tunnel, and by the dim light, the figure coming over became clearer and clearer, and the guard platoon commander Feng Guang suddenly shouted excitedly: "It's Deputy Regiment Commander Wang who is back." ”

Feng Guang saw that Wang Xiaoliang was coming back alone, pushed away the people around him in doubt, greeted Wang Xiaoliang in a few steps, and asked in a nervous tone: "Deputy Commander Wang, why didn't the group of soldiers led by Chu Shaopeng come back?" And where are Minister Wang Ziming now? Do they ....... ”

Wang Xiaoliang was already sad in his heart, and when he heard Feng Guang ask him like this, he was about to tell him with tears, but now Wang Xiaoliang has slowly matured from the lessons that the soldiers brought him with blood and life, and he thinks about more things, in order to stabilize the emotions of the soldiers, he did not say it directly.

He controlled his emotions and asked evasively, "Tell me quickly, where is Leader Lei now, how is his body?" Li Yongchang's shopkeeper was seriously injured, is he okay now? ”

Feng Guang saw that Wang Xiaoliang didn't answer him directly, he grabbed Wang Xiaoliang and shouted: "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, I'm asking you, where are the soldiers of the guard platoon now?" Are they all alive? ”

Wang Xiaoliang pushed Feng Guang away, and roared almost madly: "Bastard, I'm asking you, where is Captain Lei?" ”

A figure stood up more than a dozen steps into the tunnel, and shouted to the roaring Wang Xiaoliang: "Deputy Head Wang, I'm here, you can squeeze over." ”

Wang Xiaoliang heard that it was Lei Jian's voice, although this voice lacked confidence and could obviously hear that he was still weak, but he didn't expect that the Lei Regiment Leader, who he was most worried about, would be able to stand in the pit by himself and call him over from afar.

The soldiers and comrades in the tunnel, listening to Lei Jian standing and shouting Wang Xiaoliang over, immediately shouted energetically: "Great, our Lei Regiment Commander can stand up by himself, my God, it's so happy." ”

The soldiers quickly gave Wang Xiaoliang a passage that he could squeeze through, although Wang Xiaoliang was still grieving for the heroic group of soldiers in his heart at this time, but he looked at Lei Jian standing more than ten steps away from him, excitedly squeezing the soldiers in the tunnel, and almost rushed over.

Wang Xiaoliang squeezed in front of Lei Jian, held Lei Jian and cried with tears: "Commander Lei, I, Wang Xiaoliang, am sorry for Chu Shaopeng and the soldiers of the guard platoon, they knocked me unconscious and pushed me into the pit in order to cover me, forced Wang Ziming to seal the pit cover, and fought with the enemy to the last three people, and at the last moment when the bullet was surrounded by the enemy, I pulled a grenade left for me, and all the soldiers of the first squad were sacrificed. ”

Lei Jian's already weak body was tightly grasped by Wang Xiaoliang, who was overly grief-stricken, lying on his shoulders and twitching his shoulders, just like a big child seeing his relatives, pouring out all the suppressed emotions in his heart, without caring about whether Lei Jian's body could withstand it.

Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao, who were standing on the side of Lei Jian, shook Lei Jian when they saw Wang Xiaoliang crying to grief, and the two pushed Wang Xiaoliang away hard, Zhang Guanghua knew that Wang Xiaoliang was sad in her heart, she cried and said: "Xiaoliang, don't be too excited, Captain Lei can finally insist on standing up, you toss so much, Captain Lei will not be able to stand it." ”

Wang Xiaoliang was supported by Zhang Guanghua and comforted, when he looked at the Lei Jian standing against the cave wall, he suddenly pounced on the Lei Jian with joy, and shouted with complicated emotions: "Commander Lei, great, you can stand up, it seems that your body is recovering quickly, and you can lead the only group to kill devils on the battlefield again." ”

Lei Jian was almost knocked down by the bad news brought back by Wang Xiaoliang, a squad of vigorous warriors, half an hour ago was alive and bravely killed the enemy in the battle, but now they have left heroically, they just left, although they have nostalgia, but in order to cover the soldiers and comrades in the tunnel, they left death to themselves, and left the hope of life to their comrades.

Strings of tears welled up in his eyes, thinking of these comrades who died heroically in the tunnel to cover him and the three seriously wounded and the comrades in the tunnel who were in great danger, Lei Jian cried, crying and trembling.

Zhang Guanghua couldn't control his grief when he saw Lei Jian's trembling shoulders and couldn't control his grief, and in front of so many soldiers and comrades, he whimpered like a big child crying.

Chun Tao held Lei Jian and persuaded with tears: "Commander Lei, your injuries are recovering now, and you have just improved, you can't be too sad, you see that the soldiers are looking at you with tears, which is not only not good for your body, but also affects the mood of the warriors." Control yourself, you are the backbone of everyone in the tunnel, you can't collapse, you don't dare to collapse, everyone is waiting for you to make an idea, you know? ”

Grief, remorse, self-blame, plagued Lei Jian suppressed in his heart The emotions were released, he felt that Chun Tao was right, he couldn't collapse, and he didn't dare to collapse, and now the little devil on the ground is frantically looking for the mouth of the tunnel, once it .......

Just when Lei Jian strengthened his confidence and began to relieve his bad mood, he suddenly heard the sound of '......knock, knock knock' from the mouth of the pit of the Rongchang Dyeing Factory, which made people tremble, telling everyone hidden in the pit that the little devil who rushed into the dyeing factory had found the mouth of the pit and was sparing no effort to find a way to open it.

When the people in the tunnel heard the direction of the tunnel mouth, there was a 'knock' sound of the devil prying the sealing plate at the mouth of the tunnel, everyone's heart seemed to be suddenly pinched, they could not be nervous, now they have two holes in the tunnel they are hiding have been broken by the enemy, and there are two small holes that have not been discovered by the enemy, once the enemy rushes into the tunnel, the soldiers and comrades hidden here cannot escape from the other two very narrow small tunnel entrances as a backup for emergencies.

Even if they can escape from the tunnel, the ground is full of little devils, who are either captured by the enemy, or all heroic in the heroic resistance.
