Commander Chen ordered with a heavy heart: "Director Ma, you personally lead a company of soldiers, near the three trucks, search carefully, you must find Lei Jian and the guards and soldiers around him, I want to see people alive or dead, even if they are blown to pieces and burned to charcoal, they must be carefully identified and find Lei Jian for me." ”

The New 7th Brigade and the New 9th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army's Eastern Column, through battlefield contact, learned that some regiments had already marched back to the Peacock Valley, and Commander Chen, several brigade commanders and political commissars, walked out of the green gauze tent and looked at the gunfire that had been raging a few hours earlier, and that the enemy and us were fighting a fierce battle to strike at each other. At this time, although the smoke of the war was still permeating, the sound of guns and cannons had stopped, and only wolf smoke was left on the battlefield at that time, and not a single gunshot could be heard.

Commander Chen looked at the green gauze tent that had been strafed and bombed by enemy planes, and how he thought that Lei Jian would suddenly jump out of this lodging crop field. But after looking at it for a long time, there was no Thunder Sword and their figures, Commander Chen not only burst into tears, but suddenly turned his head and ordered: "The troops quickly withdraw to Peacock Valley." ”

Tears flowed down his nose, and Commander Chen, who was walking in front, didn't want to be seen by others, so he walked faster.

At that time, he found a group of Japanese fighters and concentrated air strike forces to attack one of its combat vehicles, and Lei Jian decisively ordered the fighters on the combat vehicles to jump out of the vehicle and evacuate.

Lei Jian led the soldiers around him to rush into the nearest green gauze tent, and under the cover of high-pole crops, he ran quickly, and at a speed of wolf chasing rabbits, he kept interspersing in the green gauze tent.

The soldiers who rushed into the green gauze tent really couldn't run, they saw that the thunder sword had no intention of stopping at all, Song Tiedan couldn't bear it and shouted behind him: "Commander Lei, we have already gotten into the green gauze tent, and the enemy planes in the air can't detect it, let's rest for a while." ”

The thunder sword hand waved and ordered loudly: "Don't stop for me, speed up your running, and leave the position as far away as safe, did you hear it?" ”

The enemy aircraft group in the air destroyed the three combat vehicles of the Eighth Route Army by firepower, and the commander of the enemy aircraft group, General Hechi, ordered the enemy planes to bomb and strafe the green yarn tent near the three combat vehicles, and to destroy all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden inside.

The soldiers who were running, seeing that Lei Jian continued to run with their lives, a few soldiers really couldn't run, and their footsteps slowly put down, and suddenly heard the roar of the enemy plane overhead, followed by the bomb drop and fire strafing, and the sound of explosions kept coming from behind.

The soldiers who were running behind looked back and saw that the green gauze tents were falling one by one, and they were so frightened that they jumped up violently, and rushed towards the front at a very speed rarely seen in ordinary times.

Song Tiedan ran far away before he dared to turn back again, he saw the crops behind him a wave, and he stuck out his tongue in surprise and didn't retract it for a long time, he admired the thunder sword that was still running in front of him even more.

If it weren't for the unpredictable prophet of their regimental commander, who took the lead in rushing to the front, ordering the soldiers not to stop, and running desperately, once they were stranded in the nearby green gauze tent, then these soldiers would have been bombed by the enemy planes to cause explosions and machine gun fire, and the consequences would have been either blown into pieces and bones gone, or their lives would have been left in that crop field.

Qu Jiaming followed closely behind Lei Jian, and when he saw the enemy fighter group behind him, the firepower was pouring on the ground, and the continuous explosions and machine gun strafing were continuous, and he thought with a chill in his heart that as long as the people and animals left in those places were bombarded by the enemy planes, none of them would survive.

He tracked the fire attack of the enemy fighter group, and he didn't know if he could escape this catastrophe, remembering the offense he had just scolded the Thunder Sword bastard on the chariot and calling him by his name, and he was deeply disturbed, he didn't know if he could return to Peacock Valley alive, once he died under the fire of the enemy plane, I am afraid that he would never have the opportunity to say that 'I'm sorry' to Lei Jian in his life.

In order to fulfill his wish before he died, Qu Jiaming suddenly jumped to catch up with the thunder sword, and the two ran side by side, both tired and out of breath.

Lei Jian saw Qu Jiaming follow, although his face was dripping with sweat, his face was serious, and he couldn't help but ask while running: "Qu Jiaming, who provoked you, with an unhappy face?" Speak up and listen. ”

Qu Jiaming heard Lei Jian's question, and his tone was very friendly, and he couldn't help but say with some excitement: "Commander Lei, I saw the enemy aircraft battle group diving in turns, throwing bombs and strafing fire on our heels, and I don't know if we can still live, I have something in my heart, even if I die, I can't be sure, I want to talk to you." ”

"Bastard calf, when is it, still talk nonsense to me, save some energy and run away, living is the most important thing."

"Commander Lei, I think it will be difficult for us to escape the fire of the enemy fighter group today, and once we die, I will regret it if I don't say it."

"Qu Jiaming, why are you chirping today, if you have a fart, I don't have the strength to talk nonsense with you."

"Okay, anyway, I don't think it's possible to escape from death, so I don't care about anything, Captain Lei, I won't call you Captain before I die, so it seems to be lifeless, Lei Jian, Lei Boy, Brother Lei, I Qu Jiaming has not served many people, you are the first.

On the chariot just now, I Qu Jiaming scolded you bastard and called him by his name, that was because I was afraid that you were looking for death by yourself again, and wanted to drive you out of the battlefield to stay alive, you are a baby with a lot of talent, I don't want you to die first, so I used dirty words on you, you won't be angry with my brother whose birthday is seven days older than you, right? ”

Qu Jiaming didn't wait for Lei Jian to reply, and immediately shouted: "Lei boy, I, Qu Jiaming, am a gentleman, bow my head and admit my mistakes when I say or do wrong, you can give me a happy word, can you bypass my brother this time?" If you don't hurry up and tell me, once I die under the fire of the devil's plane, I won't be able to close my eyes to death, can you say it quickly? ”

Lei Jian didn't expect that Qu Jiaming would be so angry about himself because of this incident, and he also rose to the height of death to understand, and couldn't help but say while running with emotion: "Qu Jiaming, I will promise you now, you called me a 'bastard' on the battlefield and called me by my name, I was very angry at that time, angry that you didn't obey my orders, not angry that you scolded me."

I know that you are for the safety of my life, you are stimulating me, telling me to leave quickly and stay alive, your good intentions are good for me, how can I be angry with you? ”

He saw that Qu Jiaming smiled when he heard what he said, and laughed very happily, only to hear Qu Jiaming laugh with tears in his eyes: "Brother Lei, I, Qu Jiaming, will die if I fall to the ground now, it's worth it to have a brother like you." ”

"Bastard, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, even if there is no earth-shattering way to die, at least born in the anti-Japanese era, he must die on the battlefield of killing the enemy, and he will never be chased away by enemy fighters.

Besides, don't worry, since we have become brothers, you are close to me, and it is not easy to be killed by the devil, so you can kill the devil alive. ”

Qu Jiaming suddenly jumped up, hugged Lei Jian and shouted: "My good brother, I, Qu Jiaming, have not lived in vain in my life, there will be a brother like you, I want to shout and laugh with joy." ”

Lei Jian pushed Qu Jiaming away, and said with a serious face: "Qu Jiaming, don't kick your nose in the face, I am the head of the independent regiment, and I haven't left the danger yet, the soldiers are all racing against death, hurry up and save your strength to speed up your pace, and those who run in front have a greater hope of living." ”

Qu Jiaming was overly unrestrained ecstasy by Lei Jian's head and face, he knew that the burden on Lei Jian's body was very heavy, and sometimes he didn't have time to say a few psychological words, and now in the life-threatening escape, he thought a lot, and he didn't have time to say these useless, thinking of this, Qu Jiaming got serious, he secretly made up his mind, Lei Jian is his brother who is seven days younger than him, and he is the head of the independent regiment, since he admits that he is a brother in person, then even if he Qu Jiaming sacrifices his life, he must let his brother live well.

Lei Jian led the guard squad around him to run wildly all the way in the green gauze tent, adjusting the direction from time to time to avoid the aimless enemy fighter group and carry out aerial fire strikes on the ground.

Under the remote control command of General Hechi, more than a dozen planes of the enemy aircraft battle group, after destroying the three combat vehicles modified by the Thunder Sword, carried out many dive fire strikes on the green gauze tents around the battlefield position, and bombs and machine gun fire spared no effort to pour down on the green gauze tents on the ground, intending to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the green gauze tents.

Lei Jian didn't know if there were still soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the green gauze tent near the battlefield, and if he failed to withdraw in time, he would have no hope of surviving under the repeated firepower attacks of the enemy aircraft group.

He looked at the green gauze tent behind him, under the fire of the enemy's combat planes, the crops in the fields were swept down by the enemy planes, and there were people hiding inside, and they would not survive well.

At this moment, three enemy planes suddenly roared and flew overhead, and Lei Jian shouted: "Lie down immediately——。 Before he could finish speaking, several bombs, successively dropped in the air, and the ground caused a violent explosion, and the ground kicked off dust fog, stones and shrapnel.
