Qu Jiaming, a tough guy who killed the enemy, knelt on his knees with tears in his eyes and cried: "Commander Lei, you must retreat to the west bank of the Tiechuan River, if you don't retreat, I, Qu Jiaming, will kneel and die here." ”

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, seeing their platoon commander kneeling and crying, jumped off their horses one by one with tears in their eyes and knelt on the ground.

The assault company Fang Liqiang, who was captured by the little devil and was on the line between life and death, was a seriously injured Lei Jian, who was carried by the peasant brothers and led a group of villagers who had just joined the Eighth Route Army, risking his life to kill Li Jiazhuang and rescue him from the devil's cave.

He shouted: "All the soldiers of the assault company, kneel down and cry and beg our Commander Lei, to evacuate the east bank of the Tiechuan River immediately. ”

The soldiers of one of the companies of 'Huh' all knelt on the ground, looked up at the thunder sword on the canopy of the big poplar tree, and cried and shouted: "Commander Lei, please come down quickly, we will protect you from this dangerous place." ”

Feng Guang, the deputy squad leader of the guard squad, saw that all the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon and the assault company knelt down and begged Lei Jian to retreat, and he ordered the soldiers of the guard squad: "Please evacuate Commander Lei and kneel down for me." ”

"Bastards, a group of crazy people, you are the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who bravely killed the enemy, the enemy is at present, I am the commander, and I should stay at the front line, but you bastards, you bastards, actually adopted this embarrassing method to force me to withdraw from the forward battlefield, how can I command the troops in the future, how can I order the soldiers to kill the enemy? Stand up for me. ”

Zhang Ping saw that the soldiers loved the regiment leader Lei Jian so devoutly, and he was so moved that he knelt down and cried.

Lei Jian saw that even Zhang Ping knelt down, and he scolded angrily: "Malegobi, my Lei Jian was kidnapped by you, give me up, whoever doesn't obey the order, I will shoot him." ”

"Commander Lei, you just shoot us, save yourself from living and seeing you die first, I feel uncomfortable, we have made up our minds, you have to withdraw, you have to withdraw, if you don't withdraw, you have to withdraw, this is the order given to you by the soldiers."

Lei Jian saw that the soldiers disobeyed en masse, he was really defeated by these good soldiers and good brothers, and often said that 'the law does not blame the people', it turned out to be like this.

He felt that if he didn't follow the wishes of the soldiers, he would stay on the east bank of the Tiechuan River to command in person, and he would probably involve a part of the troops to disobey and protect him, so it would be better to retreat to the west bank of the Tiechuan River, and give the order to attack or retreat in time according to the situation of the battle on the east bank.

Lei Jian ignored the cadres and soldiers who were still kneeling under the big poplar tree and begging, he held the binoculars and once again inspected how the battle was going on on the east bank of the Tiechuan River, and observed a few times the fierce battle of blood and fire between the enemy and us in Lao Ye Mountain.

Time waits for no one, it seems that the enemy will fly into the sky in a short time, once the warrior under the tree continues to kneel here so stubbornly, begging him to evacuate with a thunder sword, it will delay a lot of things.

Lei Jian finally glanced at the beach on the west bank of the Tiechuan River, quickly jumped from the canopy to the ground, and as soon as he landed, he was hugged and 'kidnapped' by the reconnaissance platoon led by Qu Jiaming, and walked towards the pontoon bridge on the east bank.

Zhang Ping saw that the soldiers hugged Lei Jian in the middle and forced him to evacuate the forward battlefield on the east bank, after all, he had participated in many battles with Lei Jian, and knew the key role of a commander on the battlefield.

He pushed away the soldiers who hugged Lei Jian's side, and shouted quickly: "All the soldiers obey my orders, Commander Lei has agreed to withdraw from the forward position on the east bank, and now obeys the action orders issued by Commander Lei." ”

Lei Jian was relieved, he frowned and stared at Qu Jiaming fiercely, and suddenly scolded angrily: "your grandma, you dare to kidnap the supreme military commander on the battlefield, don't you really want to live?" Let me tell you, there are still a few squad and platoon commanders who are leading the way, this is the first and last time, if this kind of reckless and barbaric action happens again in the future, I will enforce all of you to the battlefield discipline to set an example. ”

Qu Jiaming was not intimidated at all, he stiffened his neck and said: "Commander Lei, you can say anything today, even if you enforce battlefield discipline now, then you have to watch you withdraw to the other side of the Tiechuan River, and then execute it, okay?" ”

"Crazy people, a bunch of out-and-out madmen who have lost their minds, all stand in line for me, and obey my orders."

Lei Jian has decided to withdraw from the frontline positions on the east bank, which is not a decision made by the soldiers under duress, but he also realizes that the withdrawal of the command center to the west bank is convenient for command across the river and reduces the pressure on the fighters of the combat unit.

Second, it has also protected the security of the command organs, so that it is more advantageous to dispatch every unit on the battlefield to strike at the enemy's vital forces, protect itself, and hold out alive until 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, smoothly complete its tasks, and withdraw from the battlefield.

He ordered nearly 200 soldiers of the assault company, reconnaissance platoon, and guard squad: "Immediately retreat to the east bank of the Tiechuan River in the southwest, and before the enemy planes are in the air, take advantage of the fact that the devil commander is not paying attention, quickly swim across the river, and protect the director of the investigation office, Zhang Ping, and others, and pass the pontoon bridge erected in advance to meet us on the west bank of the Tiechuan River." ”

The troops quickly diverted and ran stealthily in both directions.

Lei Jian led most of the soldiers of this army to the east bank of the Tiechuan River quickly, seeing that the river here is relatively wide and the water flow is relatively gentle, Qu Jiaming not only asked in surprise: "Commander Lei, how can you calculate that this place is the safest place to cross the river?" ”

"You bastard is talking nonsense, how could I have known in advance, but I was in the canopy of a big poplar tree, holding a telescope, and checked the Tiechuan River a few times, which is why I knew it in advance than you.

Don't be surprised, quickly take your belongings, lead the war horse within ten minutes, and you must reach the other side of the Tiechuan River. ”

More than 100 soldiers and dozens of war horses, under the command of the thunder sword, jumped into the turbulent Tiechuan River one after another, and with the most heroic spirit, they fought against the turbid waves of the torrent and swam towards the opposite bank at the fastest speed.

For a while, the entire Tiechuan River was basically filled with soldiers and war horses, some of the soldiers had good water quality, and the speed of swimming was fast, and some could only gouge and fall behind, just when Lei Jian had just climbed on the other side of the Tiechuan River, he heard a faint noise of airplanes from the southwest, and two batches of six enemy planes in the sky flew over with a roar.

As soon as I found out that it was only the size of a plate, in the blink of an eye, it was the size of a kitten, and it became the size of a dog, and the increasingly noisy plane appeared in the sky.

Lei Jian stood on the shore and shouted, "Swim quickly and go ashore and hide on the spot." ”

Qu Jiaming has a good water nature, he climbed ashore, threw the thunder sword that was shouting at the soldiers who were swimming in the Tiechuan River, and threw himself to the ground and shouted: "Commander Lei, pay attention to concealment, you are too dangerous like this." ”

In just a few minutes, the enemy plane flew overhead, slowed down, descended slowly, and flew over the sky whistling down to 1,500 meters above the ground.

The warriors, who had not yet swam to the shore, breathed a sigh of relief, and were now very tired, and the speed of their swimming began to slow down.

Lei Jian, who was thrown to the ground by Qu Jiaming, suddenly overturned Qu Jiaming, stood by the river and scolded: "Bastard, the enemy plane will return soon, if you don't want to die, hurry up and swim to the west bank." ”

These soldiers who have not been with Lei Jian for a long time in the water have never seen the head of Sven in their eyes, he would scold so savagely, they are still suspicious, only to hear Qu Jiaming scold more ruthlessly than Lei Jian: "Grandma Caota, I think you have lived enough, if you don't hurry up, the enemy plane will fly back, and you will be blown into pieces, and you will be left in the river to feed the fish, so hurry up for me." ”

Just as Lei Jian and Qu Jiaming savagely urged the soldiers in the river to swim quickly to the shore, the enemy plane that flew over quickly returned, circled in the air, suddenly dived, dropped a few bombs on the main position of the 'One Regiment', and rushed along the river loop with a roar, and burst out with a fierce tongue of fire from the machine-mounted machine gun on the river soldiers who had not yet swam to the shore, sweeping towards the soldiers who were still swimming.

The vicious bullets fired by the planes hit the soldiers in the river, and the blood from the bullets stained the river red.

The fighters who were still alive, braving the heavy fire of aircraft bombs and machine guns, swam to the other side of the river with all their might, and the enemy planes that were whizzing past returned again, diving into another fierce fire blow.
