Nine-tailed cat thank you 2017051... A friend gave you a valuable monthly pass, thank you more, and ask you to support the nine-tailed cat, I am grateful.

The pontoon bridge disappeared from the surface of the Yellow River, and the commander of the 372nd Wing of the Japanese army saw that the pontoon bridge was destroyed, and he did not know whether it was destroyed by the Tuba Road, or if he ordered the shelling of the west bank, and the shell explosion destroyed the pontoon bridge.

The captain of the Devil's Wing looked at the Tuba Road running towards the woods, and shouted angrily again: "Open the artillery, fire the cannon quickly, and carry out artillery fire on all the discovered Tuba Road, and destroy this Tuba Road that caused my 372nd Wing to suffer heavy losses." ”

The mortars placed by the Japanese army on the beach on the east bank of the Yellow River, under the order of the wing commander, dozens of shells whistled across the roaring Yellow River, wrapped in a sharp whistling sound, and exploded on the ground behind the rapid retreat of more than a dozen people of Lei Jian.

The shells continued to pour, and the explosions set off waves of air, dirt and stones, carrying fragments of shells, rushed towards the retreating soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The two fighters who ran behind, hit by shrapnel and fell to the ground, crawled forward covered in blood, and as long as they had a breath, they would never leave the independent regiment.

Lei Jian found two soldiers lying in a pool of blood, he turned around and was about to run back to rescue, but was hugged by Qu Jiaming, pushing and retreating quickly, Lei Jian roared angrily: "Bastard, my warrior is lying in a pool of blood, I can't see death without help, let me go quickly." ”

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang, who was running by two soldiers, saw the thunder sword break free of Qu Jiaming, turned around and ran towards the smoke of gunfire, he desperately turned back and threw the thunder sword to the ground, just as the two fell to the ground, several shells exploded in front of the soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, and when the smoke dissipated, the figures of the two soldiers were gone, and they had been engulfed in war.

Several fighters rushed to Lei Jian and Wang Xiaoliang's side, pulled them up and ran towards the woods, and the explosion of cannonballs was heard behind their feet, and several fighters fell to the ground with their bodies crooked.

Lei Jian almost went crazy and shouted, "Little devil, I'm ...... Lei Jian." ”

Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan hugged Lei Jian tightly, and several soldiers set up Wang Xiaoliang, forcibly dragged the two of them, and rushed into the woods more than twenty steps ahead.

As soon as they rushed into the woods, the artillery fire of the devils extended over, one shell after another exploded in the woods, the trees were blown off by the waist, there were craters on the ground, and several soldiers were hit by the artillery fire of the devils, and the entire forest was blindly bombarded by the Japanese artillery.

Lei Jian was not a reckless commander, he saw that the soldiers around him were constantly being reduced by the enemy's artillery fire, and he roared angrily: "Get on your horse and leave this forest quickly." ”

Dozens of war horses rushed out of the woods with continuous artillery fire, and the war horses stepped on the dirt roads in the countryside, the dust that exploded, and the flying dances, galloping all the way, and finally saw the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which appeared not far ahead.

Lei Jian caught up with the large army, Niu Dali, who was in charge of the broken back, saw Lei Jian's more than a dozen war horses chasing after him from behind, he left the troops, stopped on the side of the road, and waited for Lei Jian to rush to him, he asked anxiously: "Commander Lei, why are you just a dozen horses?" Are there any fighters who haven't withdrawn? ”

Wang Xiaoliang, who was injured in the leg, scolded angrily: "Fierce little devil, concentrate the artillery fire of a wing, followed by butt bombardment, several soldiers fell on the battlefield of artillery fire, we finally rushed out of the enemy's artillery fire to extend the shelling, it is really too dangerous." ”

Lei Jian's heart was painful, and he jumped off his horse and asked Niu Dali: "How about the casualties of the first and third battalions you led?" ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, there is no specific statistics, this forced crossing of the Yellow River, our independent regiment can be said to have broken the old book, the troops suffered heavy casualties, rough steps statistics of the troop attrition of more than 500, wounded in more than 200, now the morale of the troops is low, the large army marches with serious wounded, the speed of westward advance is obviously slow, I think the troops should take a temporary rest, order the cadres of all battalions and companies, do a good job in the propaganda and agitation of the soldiers, only by improving the strong confidence of the soldiers, can the speed be increased on the way to the west."

What Lei Jian is most afraid of is that after this tragic fierce battle on the Yellow River, the troops suffered heavy casualties, destroying the soldiers' mood of killing the enemy, once the morale of the troops is low, and they encounter the enemy again on the way west, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced.

He saw that Niu Dali's clothes were burned into a net by the fire, his hair and eyebrows were burned, and he could see the skin leaking outside, which was already blistered, and she asked painfully: "Dali, are you okay?" ”

"Report to Captain Lei, my cow has thick skin, it's all skin trauma, it's not a big deal."

Lei Jian nodded and ordered Niu to vigorously lead the three rear battalions of the main force, not only not to slow down the march, but also to do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers during the march, boost morale, and be ready to meet the enemy who is encircling and intercepting at any time.

Lei Jian ordered the dozen or so horsemen beside him, "Hurry up and follow me." Before the words fell, the thunder sword leaped violently, and the whole person was already riding on horseback, whipping the horse to avoid the marching troops, and in less than half an hour, he caught up with the main force of the independent regiment.

Luo Jinchuan saw that the thunder sword finally followed, and the heart he lifted relaxed at this time, and the two war horses went hand in hand, and the two commanders of the independent regiment, facing the current predicament of the troops, discussed how to improve morale, so that the troops could suddenly encounter the enemy, and the soldiers could give full play to their combat effectiveness and eliminate the enemy who was encircling and intercepting.

In order to grasp how many troops were attritional, how many seriously wounded, how many lightly wounded people could follow the march, and the situation of weapons, equipment, food, military supplies, and other materials in this battle, Lei Jian ordered all battalions and companies to make the most detailed statistics during the rapid march and immediately report to the regimental headquarters.

The battalions, companies, and regimental logistics departments quickly reported the numbers that needed to be reported to Lei Jian, who rode on his horse, looking at the lines of blood and tears, not only tears overflowed, but his eyes blurred and said: "This time my independent regiment has suffered a heavy blow, and this is the most difficult and tragic battle that Lei Jian has fought. ”

Lei Jian ordered Xiao Sun, the correspondent beside him: "Convey my order, order Director Dong Dayong of the Political Department, run to report to me." ”

Dong Dayong received the order, and he didn't know what urgent task Commander Lei was looking for him, so he ran to the Lei Jian War Horse, and Lei Jian did not dismount the quick order: "Director Dong, you take the guard platoon, take the seven critically wounded, and the twenty-three seriously wounded who can't follow the troops, find a village with a better mass foundation in front, leave some money and medicine, and entrust them to the villagers to take care of, and follow the troops as soon as they are injured." ”

Lei Jian called the health captain again, and asked, "Have all the injured been treated in time?" ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, the seriously wounded have already been treated in time when the troops withdrew to the woods on the west bank of the Yellow River, and the lightly wounded who have not had time to treat their wounds are hurrying to bandage their wounds on the way to the march, but our current troops' medicines, disinfectant gauze and alcohol are running out of energy, and we urgently need to replenish anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicines at present, if we do not replenish them in time, I am afraid that the soldiers who will be wounded in future battles will not be able to ...... due to lack of medicines."

"I know, you have to hurry up and lead the medical team to go down to the battalions and companies to treat the wounded soldiers, and then Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Xiaoliang was shot in the leg, and the injury was not light, so I will hand him over to you, you have to ......."

Without waiting for Lei Jian to give an order to the health team leader Changchun Tao, Wang Xiaoliang, who was riding on a war horse, shouted eagerly: "Commander Lei, the injury on my leg has been treated, and now it's fine, besides, I will ride a horse and follow you, it won't drag you down, I don't want to quit the combat unit and mix with those wounded, I Wang Xiaoliang can't afford to lose that person." ”

"Bastard, how do you talk? Those wounded and sick were all heroically killed in the battle and were honorably wounded, why is it a shame to be wounded? What would the wounded and sick soldiers think if they heard you, the deputy commander, say this? ”

Lei Jian turned his head and glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoliang, who was bleeding too much from his injuries and his face was pale, and ordered in an aggravated tone: "I am now giving an order to the health team leader Changchun Tao, you, the deputy head of the regiment, not only do not support, but also compete with me, this time you must obey the order and act with the wounded and sick, this is an order." ”

Wang Xiaoliang saw that Lei Jian was really coming, and he said almost pleadingly: "Commander Lei, Brother Lei, little ......, no, my good brother, I, Wang Xiaoliang, am not so delicate, it's really good, don't delay going to the battlefield to kill the little devil." ”

"No, this is an order, but I can relax your conditions, as long as Captain Chuntao gives you a note that you can return to the army to participate in the battle, you Wang Xiaoliang can return to the team, and the rest is not negotiable."

Lei Jian no longer paid attention to Wang Xiaoliang, and said to Zhou Peng, the combat staff officer: "I asked you to count the names of the sacrificed soldiers, is the roster ready?" We can't just because of the tension of the war, we can't forget the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who bravely killed the enemy and died heroically, and in the end we don't even have a name, so we are sorry for these heroic souls who sleep underground. ”

"Report to Commander Lei, there are only three soldiers left who have not returned to the team, and they can't be sure if they are still alive, how do you think such soldiers who have not returned are treated?" Zhou Peng asked.
