How do the villagers know that this sun-covering sand that rises in the sky is like a tornado, and it is a cavalry squad of the Eighth Route Army that kills the enemy passing through here, and they shoulder heavy responsibilities and move forward bravely, but what awaits them in front of them?

It's a war, it's a battle of the 'Hundred Regiments' that is about to start a fight with the enemy, they are now alive and well, I don't know how many of the more than 20 cavalry soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will survive after the end of this war that shocked future generations?

Lei Jian led more than 20 cavalry soldiers to find the missing Zhang Ting, and when he caught up with the large army, the soldiers of the army saw Zhang Ting again.

They looked at the thunder sword on the war horse, heroic and handsome, the next time the thunder sword, in the hearts of the soldiers, even more majestic, they did not expect Zhang Ting to be missing, and had sent a cavalry unit back to look for it, but Lei Jian, the supreme commander of the independent regiment, did not feel at ease and took the guard squad to venture back, and finally found the missing deputy battalion commander of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Ting's disappearance is even more intriguing in the entire independent regiment, no one knows who tied Zhang Ting up and threw him into the woods, but some soldiers heard that a soldier of the Eighth Route Army had committed a nervous offense and insulted and beat the soldiers, so they didn't know what happened later.

It turned out that Zhang Ting was stunned by the war, and after waking up, he was delirious, and he squeezed around on the pontoon bridge to beat and insult the soldiers, and a platoon commander could not bear it in order to force the Yellow River safely for the large army, and ordered the soldiers to tie up Zhang Ting, who had gone crazy, and carried him across the bridge, and then came to the woods on the west bank of the Yellow River, and was shelled by the devil's reinforcements.

If Lei Jian hadn't discovered it in time and sent someone back to look for it, Zhang Ting would have been killed by the devil at this time.

Zhang Ting's matter is a mystery, everyone heard him say that he couldn't see the performance of madness at that time, guessing that the brain should be hit by a heavy object, delirious, his behavior has not been under the normal command of the brain, so he made a perverse behavior when crossing the pontoon bridge, Zhang Ting did not leave a little impression, at this time he frowned.

After destroying the last bunker on the east bank of the Yellow River, until he woke up from the woods, everything during this period was a blank in Zhang Ting's consciousness.

Zhang Ting looked at Lei Jian and said embarrassedly: "Captain Lei, I don't know what I did when I lost my memory, and I don't know what kind of bastard things I did during this period, now I can't say clearly, and others can't help me, now I want to recall the events of that time, but I have a terrible headache when I think about it." ”

Lei Jian has already determined that Zhang Ting's brain is strongly stimulated, otherwise there will be intermittent amnesia, he looked at Zhang Ting's painful expression, and said unbearably in his heart: "Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, don't care too much about what happened during that time, you can blow up the devil's bunker at the last moment, in order to attack the devil's east bank beach position, and sweep away the devil's powerful firepower position, just this point, you are a heroic Eighth Route Army soldier."

As for what happened later, it wouldn't be too much of a problem, if you did something that hurt the troops crossing the pontoon, you would be ...... by the fighters. ”

When Zhang Ting heard Lei Jian say this, his head suddenly moved, and he asked nervously: "Commander Lei, did I do something wrong that affected the movement of the troops when the troops crossed the pontoon bridge, so I was tied up by the soldiers, but why did you throw me into the woods again?" ”

Lei Jian didn't expect Zhang Ting to think so much, in order to dispel Zhang Ting's concerns, not to affect the normal actions of the westward journey and the subsequent battles, he said solemnly: "Zhang Ting, deputy battalion commander, your amnesia doesn't mean anything, you don't have ideological baggage, the battle will get bigger and bigger, you are a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, a gentleman, you must be able to afford to put it down, don't get entangled in a little thing and some rumors, you must cheer up, show your greatest courage, and bravely kill devils on the battlefield." ”

At this time, Luo Jinchuan said: "Zhang Ting, Commander Lei values you very much, don't burden yourself, pay attention to rest, and return to the team immediately if you have nothing else." ”

Lei Jian watched Zhang Ting leave them and run briskly to chase his troops, and he said sincerely: "Zhang Ting is a rare field commander, such a person must be well protected." ”

He looked at his watch, and there were less than thirty hours before the Mountain Column Command gave the Independent Regiment an order to reach the designated place within two days, that is, the Peacock Valley on Deshi Road.

Lei Jian felt a lot of pressure for a while, he sat on his war horse, and said to Zhou Peng, the combat staff officer beside him: "Give me the map from here to the Peacock Valley on Deshi Road." ”

The map was spread on horseback, Lei Jian looked at the map carefully, his fingers extended along a black line to the Peacock Valley, after calculation, from the current place to the Peacock Valley, at least one hundred and twenty miles, in less than thirty hours, the entire independent regiment and large army, must be forced to march at the speed, and there can be no delay on the way, in order to arrive at the assembly place on time.

Lei Jian's brows furrowed tightly, he looked at Luo Jinchuan beside him, and said in an almost impetuous mood: "Political Commissar Luo, the independent regiment must march more than 120 miles in less than thirty hours to reach the assembly place in time, and at a marching speed like now, it will take at least two days to reach the Peacock Valley." ”

"Yes, the troops are already physically and mentally tired from continuous fighting, and it is really difficult to increase the speed of the march, can we ask the mountain for instructions and arrive a day late?"

"Political Commissar Luo, the military order is like a mountain, maybe you don't know it yet, the mountain column ordered our independent regiment to arrive at the designated place at the designated time, there must be a careful campaign arrangement, I can tell you now, the prelude to the 'Hundred Regiment Battle' is about to start with our independent regiment and the Jizhong Military Region launching a sabotage attack on the enemy's railways and highways."

"Lei boy, don't scare me, let's just have one regiment, how many regiments can there be in the Jizhong Military Region? With just a few regiments, even if it is a 'battle of 100 regiments' against the enemy, do you think it is possible? ”

Lei Jian looked at Luo Jinchuan with a smile, shook his head and said, "Political Commissar Luo, you still don't understand, when the whole battle starts, you will feel how important the heavy responsibility of our independent regiment is on the Deshi Road." ”

In order to arrive at the assembly area in time, it is necessary to march at the speed of forcible march, even if the old, weak, sick, disabled and wounded are left behind, and handed over to the follow-up troops, the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army must also arrive on time and strive to advance.

Lei Jian asked Luo Jinchuan's opinion: "Political Commissar Luo, are we on the way to the march, convene a military meeting to the west, and order all battalions and companies to march safely and quickly for twenty hours at the specified time and on the specified route, and walk one hundred and twenty miles before ten o'clock tomorrow to reach the Peacock Valley, the designated gathering point in the mountain?" ”

"Now that we have a meeting to mobilize the commanders and fighters to speed up the march, I completely agree, then ask the correspondent to convey it and reach Commander Lei in ten minutes." Luo Jinchuan heard Lei Jian once again clearly propose the 'Hundred Regiment Battle', and also said that it was related to the mission carried out by the Independent Regiment, which made him both excited and feel that the task was important, and he had a little lively thought in his heart, and suddenly felt uneasy about the top-secret news mentioned by Lei Jian.

After a short time, the main responsible persons of the battalions and companies, including the departments of the independent regiment, ran to Lei Jianma.

Lei Jian jumped off the war horse, sat on the dirt road, patted the ground and said, "Sit down and rest for a while, the road behind is more difficult, and it will be a while to rest." ”

Everyone sat on the ground, listening to the head of Lei Jian holding an emergency military meeting on the march, wiping the sweat on their faces one by one, waiting for Lei Jian to give an order.

Lei Jian glanced at Luo Jinchuan, and when he got Luo Jinchuan's eyes, he said straightforwardly: "Time is urgent, there is no time to say the opening remarks, according to the order of the Mountain Column Headquarters, I discussed with Political Commissar Luo, and ordered the troops to complete the journey of one hundred and twenty miles in twenty hours, and arrive at the Peacock Valley on Deshi Road on time or ahead of schedule, which is an irreconcilable order." ”

When Niu Dali heard that the main force of the independent regiment, which was already a tired army at this time, was going to walk one hundred and twenty miles in twenty hours, he couldn't believe it and asked: "Commander Lei, with such a ruthless order, isn't that driving the soldiers to run away?" Not to mention that we have been marching for more than 20 days, even if we have just started marching, the soldiers will not be able to walk 120 miles in 20 hours. ”

"Deputy Regiment Commander Niu, my Lei Jian is giving orders, not bargaining with you, and I have told you three examples of battles in Santougu, in order to reinforce the Linyi War, General Zhang's troops braved the torrential rain, stepped on muddy waterways, and forcibly marched one hundred and eighty miles in one day and one night, and as soon as they arrived at the front line, they immediately entered the battle. You say, we are soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, why can't we do it? And it was twenty hours, one hundred and twenty miles, which army was more difficult to force the march? ”
