Ma Mingshan pointed to the grass shed and said: "Commander Lei, this is the dormitory and regimental command post arranged for you, it's just a little simple, but it's still okay to shade the sun and block the light rain. ”

Lei Jian glanced at the grass shed, there was a small window on each side, and to the north was a single bed tied with kudzu vines and tree stumps, and in the middle was a table, which was said to be a table, but it was supported by four wooden stakes and a small branch on it, and a yellow rain cloth was spread on the small branch, and a bench was placed in front of the table, which was the command center of the only regiment and Lei Jian's dormitory.

Ma Mingshan asked with a smile: "Captain Lei, are you still satisfied?" You've been directing battles these days, so you should be tired, right? Otherwise, you can rest for a while, close your eyes, and wait for us to meet and study something, you can see ....... ”

"Old man, no, I'll arrange other things first, and I'll be spared a rest." Lei Jian turned to the correspondent Zhao Zhi and shouted, "Xiao Zhao, you immediately notify Director Zhang Ping of the Electrical Investigation Department to come to me." ”

Lei Jian said to Zhang Ping, who ran in: "Director Zhang, immediately send a report to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region: The only regiment has completed its task at 6:27 on the 26th, withdrawn from the blocking position, and temporarily rested and stood by in Tiehuo Mountain, please ask the commander for instructions." ”

In the room next to the war room of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters, radio waves and telephones are ringing constantly, and orders are being uploaded and issued through wired and wireless networks.

Commander Nie was holding a small-scale meeting, and he was very satisfied with the speed of the combat progress of the three columns, especially after receiving a telegram from Lei Jian, he learned that the only regiment had destroyed the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, and immediately rushed to Laoye Mountain, blocking the enemy for 17 hours, and nailed the 581st Wing reinforcing Zhengtai Road to the foot of Laoye Mountain, which played a great role in the general sabotage battle at the southern end of Zhengtai Road.

He didn't know the current mood of the soldiers of Lei Jian's only regiment, and whether the weapons and equipment and troops had been greatly reduced after the three major battles, and Commander Nie still didn't know.

After the meeting, Commander Nie said to Staff Officer Tang: "The battle situation of the only regiment of the telegraph Lei Jian should be reported truthfully, and it must not be false. ”

Soon, a telegram was delivered to Commander Nie, and when Commander Nie learned that the only regiment had suffered heavy casualties and that weapons and ammunition urgently needed to be replenished, he not only sighed bitterly to this force: "If you want to fight, there will be sacrifices, but the price paid by the only regiment is too heavy." ”

Immediately afterwards, he received a telegram from Lei Jian, indicating that the fighting mood of the troops was high and he requested a new combat mission.

Lei Jian sent three telegrams in succession to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, during which he convened a military conference at and above the company level to briefly summarize the current situation of the troops in the three major battles from the beginning of the 'Hundred Regiments Battle' to the present, the only regiment conquering the new mine of Wangshe in the east of Jingcheng, destroying the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, and blocking the westward advance of the 581st Wing of the Japanese Army to reinforce Zhengtai Road, and scientifically analyzed and summed up the lessons and lessons on the battlefield.

The only regiment analyzed the battle of Lao Ye Mountain, for the sake of the entire battle situation, the unit structure was disrupted, and during the battle, the backbone was transferred from each battalion, and the reconnaissance platoon and guard squad were reorganized, and now they were transferred to Tiehuo Mountain, and the troops urgently needed to be re-repaired.

Before the battle of Lao Ye Mountain, the anti-Japanese governments of the two nearby counties organized a large number of people to support the front line, and sent the county brigade as the reserve force of the only regiment, although during the campaign did not directly enrich the two county brigades to the forward position, but they organized a stretcher team to treat the wounded, braved the enemy's artillery fire, regardless of life and death to send weapons and ammunition to the forward position, the only regiment was able to successfully block and reinforce the 581st Wing on Zhengtai Road, and it was difficult to move an inch, and the local anti-Japanese armed forces and the people in front of the support were indispensable.

The only regiment played a majestic role in the first battle of Lao Ye Mountain, invigorating the spirit of the anti-Japanese army and the people, and the two anti-Japanese county brigades and the young and middle-aged people who had actively asked to participate in the Eighth Route Army were included in the sequence of the only regiment.

Lei Jian ordered Kong Xiang, director of the Political Department, to get in touch with the local anti-Japanese government and solicit opinions, and second, to do a good job in the political and ideological work of actively requesting young and middle-aged people to participate in the Eighth Route Army.

An hour later, the number of soldiers in the only regiment that had been reorganized at Tiehushan Mountain was restored to more than 4,300, and the reconnaissance company, guard platoon, assault company, spy company, and independent company were reorganized.

Lei Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, he walked back to the grass shed of the dormitory and regimental command post, and lay on the 'bed' weakly, the whole bed swayed and gave people a sense of insecurity.

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang ran in: "Report to Captain Lei, Song Tiedan resolutely asked to return to the team, and Changchun Tao, the health team, really can't do anything about him." ”

"Deputy Head Wang, shouldn't this be your business? No matter how noisy Song Tiedan is, the injury is not good, and it is useless to find anyone. Lei Jian sat up, patted the 'bed' and said to Wang Xiaoliang: "Come on, you have injuries on your body, sit down and take a breath, I have something to ask you." ”

Wang Xiaoliang walked unceremoniously to the side of the 'bed' and sat on the 'bed', he tossed, 'click, click' a few times, and the whole 'bed' was like a broken boat hitting the reef, and it collapsed at that time, and Lei Jian and Wang Xiaoliang fell to the ground.

Wang Xiaoliang, who was unguarded, was lying on the ground, Lei Jian wanted to bounce up at the moment when the 'bed' collapsed, but he didn't, but sat directly on the ground, and pulled Wang Xiaoliang to sit beside him, the two brothers of life and death, looked at each other twice, and suddenly burst into a rough 'haha' laugh.

The two brothers who survived the catastrophe laughed so rudely that their stomachs hurt when they laughed, and tears flowed out of laughter.

At this time, Ma Mingshan and Li Gang, who were about to walk to the grass shed, heard the grass shed first come out of the 'click', followed by the laughter of the two people, Ma Mingshan and Li Gang didn't know what was going on inside, so they hurriedly rushed into the 'house', and saw Lei Jian and Wang Xiaoliang, the two babies, sitting on the 'bed' that collapsed on the ground, and couldn't help but laugh together'haha'.

At this moment, Duan Zhiquan, the commander of the spy company, reported outside the door of the 'house': "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, Duan Zhiquan, the commander of the spy company, has come back from reconnaissance and come to report. ”

"Come in."

Duan Zhiquan walked into the house, saw that the leaders of the regiment were there, he stood up and saluted each leader, and reported in a loud voice: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, I led a small army down the mountain to reconnoitre, twenty miles southwest of Tiehuo Mountain, is Zhangcun Town, occupied by the Japanese army, outside the town to the east of a mountain to build a cannon tower, the east and west of the turret are two rows of houses, outside the entire turret area, is a trench, the ditch is two meters deep, three meters wide, three barbed wire fences outside the trench, stationed a squadron of Japanese soldiers, a company of puppet army, the specific equipment is ominous. ”

Lei Jian had already stood up at this time, and he shouted to the correspondent Zhao Zhi: "Immediately bring Qu Jiaming from the reconnaissance company and Feng Guang from the guard platoon to me." ”

The reorganization of the troops, in order to meet the needs of the operation, Lei Jian proposed that the reconnaissance platoon be promoted to a reconnaissance company, Qu Jiaming performed outstandingly, and broke Geti as the company commander, and the guard squad formed a guard platoon, Feng Guang Po Geti was the deputy platoon commander. clamoring to leave the health team, he didn't dare to lie on the hospital bed anymore, otherwise he wouldn't even have a position as a squad leader when he went back.

Qu Jiaming and Feng Guang ran to the regimental command post and reported to Lei Jian.

Lei Jian ordered the two of them: "You two companies will move with me, but you must prepare for disguise and set off in fifteen minutes." ”

Fifteen minutes later, a group of mountain people walked down from the Iron Camel Mountain, divided into threes and twos, and the maximum number of people would not exceed ten, walking through the woods and thatch, and quickly dispersed, rushing towards Zhangcun Town in the southwest direction.

Zhangcun Town is seven or eight miles away from Zhengtai Road, is the triangle of Zhengtai Road and Deshi Road intersection, the Japanese army stationed a squadron and a company of puppet troops here, in order to ensure the safety of Zhengtai Road and Deshi Road, the little devil is very brutal to the surrounding villages, once a little suspicious is found, they will be caught in the turret and tortured, most of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who entered alive were tortured to death, carried out and thrown in the wilderness.

The Japanese troops stationed here, in order to facilitate the purchase of ***, forced the surrounding villages to have a large set in five days, a small set in three days, this day is a large set in Zhangcun Town, the villagers in the surrounding villages, in order to make a living, had to give the family reluctant to eat three or two eggs, half a scoop of millet, three or five catties of vegetables, as well as firewood cut up the mountain, and the shoulder to carry the Benji Market, even if it can be replaced with a little urgently needed at home, it is not in vain.

At this time, from the southeast dirt road of Zhangcun Town, the crowd of people who came over to scatter and gather was much more obvious than other small roads and dirt roads radiating from Zhangcun Town.

Walking in the crowd, a big young and handsome young man, carrying a pair of firewood burdens, was walking quickly towards Zhangcun Town with a few partners, talking and laughing.

Approaching Zhangcun Town, people began to crowd up, less out, more people bought and sold in the town, and the offspring who carried the burden of firewood suddenly frowned and lowered his voice and said: "Pay attention to disguise yourself, I found that in the crowd at the entrance of the town, there are treacherous people with thieves and rat eyes, so you have to guard against it, be careful." ”
