Just when Lei Jian gave Feng Guang a warning order, the soldiers brought by Fang Liqiang were introduced into the courtyard by Wang Xiaoliang, Fang Liqiang pushed Wang Xiaoliang away, grabbed the Lei Jian that had been hiding behind Wang Xiaoliang, and was about to pounce into his arms, but was dragged aside by Wang Xiaoliang, and shouted in a nervous voice: "Captain Lei is seriously injured, you are so desperate to pounce on it, once you touch the knife edge, there will be a big incident if there is danger, everyone leaves Captain Lei and speaks." ”

At this time, Zhang Guanghua, Chun Tao, Wang Ziming and a few people who stayed behind at the entrance of the inner house suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the courtyard, accompanied by mixed shouts, one by one nervously holding short guns, and rushing out to snatch the thunder sword back at any time.

Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao were not worried about Lei Jian, tiptoed out of the inner room, quickly touched the door of the hall, looked out, obediently, the yard was crowded with people, these people who couldn't see clearly in the night, were surging to a person's side, frightened the two of them rushed into the courtyard with guns, and shouted loudly: "Who are you?" ”

"Bastard, be quiet." Thunder Sword shouted angrily from the surrounding figures.

Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao heard the angry sound of the thunder sword, and the two of them suddenly stopped and were about to pounce, standing in the courtyard at a loss.

The warriors who flocked to Lei Jian's side whispered excitedly: "Commander Lei, you are really still alive, woo woo, these bastards all say that you are heroic, we have been crying for a while, we have been sad for several days and we can't eat and sleep well, we are so happy to see you today." ”

Wang Xiaoliang didn't expect that the soldiers of the only regiment thought that Lei Jian had sacrificed, he could imagine the mood of the soldiers when they heard this bad news, Wang Xiaoliang and several soldiers surrounded Lei Jian in the middle and shouted in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, Captain Lei is very seriously injured, and he can't withstand your affectionate collision, if everyone wants to see Captain Lei, they all walk into the house in order, I promise to tell you to have a good look at Captain Lei, go, don't talk, come into the house quickly." ”

Lei Jian, under the protection of Wang Xiaoliang and several soldiers from the guard platoon, walked into the hall, and the soldiers poured into the room to see Lei Jian in the dim light, his face was sallow, and his weak head was sweating, but his big eyes showed fortitude and strength.

Lei Jian said playfully: "Everyone has seen enough of my Lei Jian's unpopular face, right?" As long as it doesn't scare everyone, I, Lei Jian, thank you, now listen to my orders, all the soldiers of the assault company, immediately find a place to rest, close their eyes and recuperate, and be ready to fight at any time. ”

Zhang Guanghua, Wang Ziming and Liu Shoucheng, this is the first time to see a commander of the Eighth Route Army so loved by the soldiers, they can't tell why Lei Jian has such a big cohesion, all the comrades who get along with him, no matter how long the time, will be captured by Lei Jian's resolute, witty, sometimes gentle, sometimes rough personal charm, this is really a mysterious character.

Lei Jian immediately convened a meeting above the platoon level and named Fang Liqiang to report.

Fang Liqiang reported simply: The only regiment received the order issued by Lei Jian on behalf of the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the head of the regiment Li Gang immediately excitedly conveyed the news that Lei Jian was still alive to every soldier in the only regiment, and the soldiers of the only regiment finally got the exact news that Lei Jian was still alive, and hugged each other excitedly.

In accordance with the order issued by Lei Jian, Li Gang immediately ordered the large army to rush to the designated place, and the assault company and cavalry battalion that needed to quickly march to Fuping City were required to arrive at the specified time and not be postponed.

Fang Liqiang led the assault company to approach Fuping City, and covertly approached the Liangjiadian closest to the county seat, ten minutes later, the soldiers in disguise carried the burden, pushed the wheelbarrow, carried firewood, carried the basket out of the village, and quickly moved closer to the county seat, in most of the soldiers entered the east city gate in a daze, suddenly the little devil went crazy and strictly checked the pedestrians, seeing that the soldiers behind were blocked by the enemy outside the city, a devil cavalry squad arrogantly urged the horse to rush to the city gate.

The captain of the devil cavalry squad waved his horse whip and shouted: "Bastard, get out of the way quickly, the Imperial Japanese Army has something important to do when it enters the city, so get out of the way." ”

Fang Liqiang, who was standing at the gate of the city with his head down, heard the accent of the devil squad leader very familiarly, raised his head slightly and stunned him, this arrogant devil cavalry squad leader turned out to be Fang Chao, the instructor of the cavalry battalion in disguise, leading a platoon of cavalry, pretending to be a devil waving a horsewhip at the city gate, which seemed to be viciously whipping the flow of people in and out, but in fact, he was covering the assault company, Ma Chao gave Fang Liqiang a look, and ordered him to rush into the city while the chaos was in chaos, just like that, a small number of soldiers in the assault company who were blocked outside the city gate were able to take advantage of the chaos to rush into the city gate.

After entering the city, Fang Liqiang immediately ordered the assault company to disperse and hide, and slowly moved closer to the alley near No. 17 Guanping Street, but without an order, it was not allowed to enter the alley.

Fang Liqiang led more than a dozen soldiers disguised as devil patrols, walked through the streets and alleys, and found the No. 17 Hutong of Guanping Street when it was dark.

When Lei Jian heard Fang Liqiang say this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Where are the cavalry squad led by Instructor Fang Chao of the cavalry battalion after they enter the city?" ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, I led the assault company into the county seat, and met the battalion commander Ma Chao on a street, he had already disguised himself as a civilian, followed by two soldiers, and he told me that if I could contact Commander Lei, I would immediately contact him at the carriage shop in the east of the city.

"Ma Chao, this kid, I hid the war horse of the guard platoon in the carriage shop in the east of the city, but I didn't expect him to find it too, this is too coincidental, right?"

Lei Jian heard Wang Xiaoliang say this, he looked at everyone and said: "Your task now is to rest, I will inform you separately if there is a task, Feng Guang took two soldiers and brought the horse Chao instructor of the cavalry battalion here." ”

Not long after, Ma Chao was led into the house by Feng Guang, when Ma Chao saw the sallow Lei Jian sitting on the kang head, he jumped from the front of the kang to the kang without caring about anything, crying and pounced on the Lei Jian, so frightened that Lei Jian quickly stretched out his hands to block it.

Zhang Guanghua, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, didn't expect that the only regiment, regardless of cadres or soldiers, could be so impulsive when he saw Lei Jian? Under her defenselessness, Ma Chao had already jumped on the kang and was about to pounce on the thunder sword, so frightened that she hugged Ma Chao's leg tightly from behind and shouted: "Why are you so reckless? Regiment Leader Lei is very seriously injured, and if you hit it like this, once the wound is torn, Commander Lei has a good problem, how can you explain it to Commander Nie? ”

"Don't exaggerate, my Lei Jian is not so squeamish, even if it touches it, it won't die, it's just a pain, I don't talk nonsense." Lei Jian's playfulness made everyone's nervous hearts relax and laugh in a low voice at this critical moment when they were about to attack Fuping City.

Ma Chao was hugged by Zhang Guanghua with the lower half of his body, looking at Lei Jian in front of him, he was shouted by Zhang Guanghua and knelt on the kang for a while, looking back at a young and handsome military girl holding him, Ma Chao blushed and asked embarrassedly: "Who are you?" Let go of me, I promise not to touch Captain Lei. ”

"You Ma Chao, how dare you provoke Vice President Zhang Guanghua of the field hospital? I've been taught these days, she manages me more strictly than my mother, and I can't be the master of eating, drinking, Lazar and sleeping, just ...... just now. ”

"Commander Lei, this is not good, I Zhang Guanghua can't accept it if you say bad things about me in front of your subordinates in front of me."

Everyone was amused by the conversation between Lei Jian and Zhang Guanghua again, Ma Chao knelt on the kang and looked at Lei Jian with the light, and touched Lei Jian's face with tears in his eyes and cried: "Captain Lei, it's good that you are alive." ”

Wang Xiaoliang asked with a smile: "Ma Chao, you are still an instructor, at this level?" Is there anyone who talks like that? You said that Captain Lei is still 'it's good that you're alive', are you happy when we all die? Yes? Hahaha. ”

Lei Jian took Ma Chao's hand and said with deep emotion: "Instructor Ma, I only realized today how important it is for a person to live, in this dangerous environment of the Anti-Japanese War, every soldier of the Eighth Route Army survives from the battlefield, which means that in the new battle, these surviving heroes, stepping on the blood of heroic sacrifice of comrades-in-arms, will rush forward and fight the enemy again without fear of death, this is going forward and succeeding."

Comrades, not only my Lei Jian 'It's good to be alive', all our comrades-in-arms who participated in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to kill the enemy, on the day of defeating the little devils, can all be 'good to be alive', this day will come soon, now is the critical moment for our Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army to fight-for-tat, this war will be a protracted war, as long as we strengthen our confidence, we will definitely defeat the enemy, liberate and build our homeland. ”

Zhang Ping handed Lei Jian a telegram at this time, the message was as follows: Commander Lei, the troops belonging to the only regiment have arrived at the designated place in accordance with the order, ready for battle at any time, and waiting for the regiment commander to give the order to attack the city, Li Gang.
