Commander Sun saw that the soldiers in the regiment were lined up again, and the weapons and ammunition of the entire unit were equipped with Japanese-style equipment, two light machine guns and one mortar for each company, and the 38 big gayers were all brand new.

He excitedly picked up Lei Jian and shouted: "My little ancestor, thank you so much, you just give me the battalion commander." ”

"Commander Sun, I don't have time to say this now, do you follow the car, or do you lead the troops to reinforce Yage Zhuang immediately?" Lei Jian asked simply and clearly.

"There are my soldiers in the car, I will rush to Yagezhuang with you, and I will definitely rescue your company from the devils."

"Okay, get in the car." Lei Jian ordered all the platoons he brought to get into the car, and his own soldiers drove the weapons and ammunition trucks to Yagezhuang at full speed.

There are still three or four miles away from Yagezhuang, and it has been found that the devil troops in front of them are reinforcing Yagezhuang on foot.

Lei Jian stopped and jumped down and ordered: "Leave a platoon to protect the truck, and the other troops will bypass the devil troops in front and raid the little devils who surround Yagezhuang from the south and southwest of Yagezhuang Village." ”

About one battalion of Regiment Commander Sun's regiment followed the trucks, and the commander of the third battalion led the attack to the designated village entrance, and it was necessary to break through the connection of the thunder sword in the village.

Lei Jian said to Commander Sun: "Commander Sun, it may take ten to fifteen minutes for your two battalions to arrive, please order them to attack the enemy from the east and north of Yagezhuang Village, and cooperate with your three battalions to rescue my company." ”

Commander Sun was a generous person, and he didn't think that Lei Jian was still a half-haired child, a newly mentioned deputy battalion commander, to command him, the head of the regiment, but gladly accepted the order.

Lei Jian ordered Zhang Ping: "Immediately contact Commander Liu of the fifth detachment and request that a regiment be sent to bypass Yagezhuang, go three or four miles to the east, accept all the weapons that intercepted the enemy's baggage vehicles, and set up an ambush thirty miles east of Yagezhuang to ambush the enemy's troops who may continue to reinforce." ”

He was afraid that the content of the telegram would not be detailed, so he wrote down his thoughts on this battle and the deployment of troops, handed it to Commander Sun, and said pleadingly: "Commander Sun, if you agree with my battle plan, please sign it as well." ”

Commander Sun frowned and asked, "Do you think that this time the devils will mobilize a large number of troops to deal with our Eighth Route Army's five anti-Japanese detachments?" Can Commander Liu of the detachment agree to your deployment of troops and the combat plan you have made? ”

"Commander Sun, I have a deep understanding of this battle, and besides, Commander Liu of the detachment actually used all the troops of the detachment to deal with the encirclement of Yagezhuang by the devils, he must have obtained internal intelligence and learned the combat plan of the thirteenth brigade of the devils, otherwise he would not have made every effort to increase his troops."

"Little Lei Jian, you are really a little elf, I didn't expect a young and a half-haired child to understand the whole battle so shrewdly, I obey, my grandson really obeyed you."

"Commander Sun, you have signed your name, it seems that we both have the same idea, then please send your staff officer, immediately bring this information to Commander Liu, and the final battle plan must be under the command of the detachment commander."

Lei Jian looked at a regiment of combat staff officers, took his combat plan and deployment, and urged the horse to leave quickly, feeling a little more down-to-earth in his heart.

Commander Liu of the detachment received the information sent to him by Lei Jian, and said to Political Commissar Gao with a smile: "Old Gao, this little guy Lei Jian actually pulled the head of the regiment Sun Keming to a front, it seems that this half-haired child should not be underestimated. ”

Political Commissar Gao put down the telegram sent by Lei Jian and the urgent combat plan sent by a regiment of staff officers, and said to Commander Liu: "Old Liu, it seems that the information we know is not comprehensive, and after such a reminder from this little guy Lei Jian, we really have to readjust the combat plan." ”

"If the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Yantai takes advantage of the Battle of Yagezhuang to transfer us out and comprehensively divide and encircle our five detachments, then our five detachments alone will be completely incapable of fighting against one brigade of the enemy."

"Lao Liu, you are right, it seems that this battle is a big battle, since one of the devils' brigades has been mobilized, it is just this opportunity to beat the devils hard, but it still needs reinforcements from other detachments, and this battle will start."

Commander Liu agreed with Political Commissar Gao's opinion and immediately telegraphed the provincial party committee to send troops to help.

In order to take this opportunity to defeat the arrogance of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the Provincial Party Committee did not understand the enemy's specific combat plan and could not reply immediately, so it ordered the Seventh Detachment to assemble in the direction of Accordzhuang and wait for orders.

Order the five detachments to contain the enemy and stretch the enemy's battle line, and then concentrate the superior forces, divide and encircle and gather and annihilate them.

The independent battalion surrounded in Yagezhuang was ordered to send a company of thunder swords to telegraph at any time, so that the detachments and the provincial party committee could adjust their strength at any time and change from passive to active.

When Lei Jian received the order, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, and for him, he really didn't know what role he was playing in this battle.

Now, in order to cooperate with the entire campaign of the provincial party committee and the five detachments, contain and attack the enemy's vital forces, the devils who fought were tired of subduing, stretched the battle line, and carried out the final division, encirclement, and annihilation of the Eighth Route Army, and had to abandon the plan of the company that received him to successfully break through.

Lei Jian handed over the weapons and ammunition on the military vehicle to a regiment, and he took Wang Xiaoliang's platoon. Quickly caught up with the head of the regiment, Sun Keming, and briefly repeated the orders of the provincial party committee and the detachment.

Regiment Commander Sun shook his head and said: "You little thunder sword, a big fart kid can alarm the provincial party committee and the detachment commander to attach so much importance to you, you say, according to the orders of the superiors, how to fight?" ”

Lei Jian discussed with Regiment Leader Sun for a while, and immediately took action.

Commander Sun sent a company to reinforce the north of Yagezhuang Village, fire to hit the enemy, once the devil troops counterattacked, don't fight hard, see the opportunity to feign a rout, escape quickly, take the pursuing devils to the northwest, lure to the ambush circle of a main force.

Ordered a company to harass the enemy at the entrance of the southwest village of Yagezhuang, and the enemy pursued and quickly retreated, leading the enemy to the ambush area of the five detachments and three regiments, and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

Lei Jian took Wang Xiaoliang's platoon to a small plateau west of Yagezhuang, and scanned the deployment of the devils around Yagezhuang Village with a telescope, as well as the allocation of weapons and equipment.

He ordered the two soldiers beside him: "You follow a regiment and a company, and when this company is holding back the enemy's forces from the southwest village entrance, take the opportunity to rush into the village, pass on my order, and order Deputy Company Commander Niu to hold his position, block the enemy's attack, and give up the breakthrough for the time being." ”

Under the cover of the fire of the 11th Company of the 11th Regiment of the two soldiers, they just wanted to take the opportunity to rush into the village, and suddenly besieged the devils of the village, divided a part of their forces, and launched a counterattack against the 11th Company, and the soldiers of the 11th Company who were suppressed by the fire could not raise their heads at all.

The commander of the 11th Company ordered a platoon to cover the two soldiers who had entered the village to convey orders, break through the enemy's encirclement, and forcibly storm the village.

One soldier was shot and fell in a pool of blood while rushing into the enemy encirclement, and the other, under the cover of fire, was seriously wounded and finally rushed into the village.

Niu Dali received Lei Jian's order, and he fainted, and he scolded: "Lei boy, you bastard, you escaped and threw our brothers to the little devils who surrounded the village, didn't you send the soldiers to death?" ”

The soldier who delivered the letter once again sternly conveyed: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lei also ordered that once Niu Dali scolded his mother and did not carry out the order, he would be dismissed on the spot, and the command would be handed over to Zheng Tie, the commander of the third platoon. ”

Niu Dali is a soldier, and at the critical moment of fierce exchange of fire with the enemy on the battlefield, even if he has an opinion, he must also carry out his orders.

He ordered the soldiers around him: "Our deputy battalion commander Lei has killed out of Yagezhuang, and now he has joined the reinforcements, and ordered our troops who are surrounded in the village to hold their positions and contain the enemy, our weapons and ammunition are running out, and we should pay attention to saving bullets in the battle with the enemy, and shoot again after aiming." ”

The enemy's reinforcements quickly blocked the water surrounding Yagezhuang, and it was impossible to rush out from the inside and enter the village from the outside to report to each other.

The devils did not use mortars, and Yagezhuang was not too big in the first place, and once the shell launch was not well mastered, it would fall into the camp of his own troops.

Niu Dali, under the suppression of the enemy's strong firepower approaching step by step and rapidly advancing towards the village, could not rely on the two platoons that had just been formed and were not strong in combat, but the first, second, and third main platoons were already scattered and were blocking the enemy in the most dangerous position.

The first platoon was taken away by the deputy battalion commander of Lei, and now I don't know where it is, the second platoon commander also followed Lei Jian's side, Niu Dali temporarily served as the second platoon commander, and the third platoon commander Zhang Tie, he took the soldiers to stick to the north entrance of the village as the main force.

The second platoon and two new platoons led by Niu Dali stuck to the south and southwest entrances of the village, and were beaten by the devils and suffered heavy casualties.

Just when the three village entrances of Yagezhuang were hit by enemy fire, and the Lei Jian Lian Company, which was surrounded in the village, was about to miss, the little devil who suddenly attacked was in chaos behind him.

Niu Dali looked at the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, hitting the little devil from the outside, and shouted happily: "Our reinforcements are coming, launch a charge, and drive the little devil out of the village." ”

The soldiers did not have many bullets in their hands, and they rushed out with bayonets in their panic by the devils, and the little devils were suddenly attacked from inside and outside, and their positions were in chaos.

The soldiers of the first company drove the little devils out of the front of the position, and in order to contain the enemy, they did not dare to disobey the order and rushed out of the devil's encirclement, and immediately packed up the weapons and ammunition on the devils who died in the battle to replenish the troops.

The little devils had sufficient troops, and immediately stabilized their positions, and some of them pursued and routed the eleventh company of the regiment, and one of the devils immediately surrounded the village.

Lei Jian held the binoculars and saw that the devils in the north and southwest of the village were confused by the illusion of the two companies of the first regiment of the rout, and gathered several times the strength of the two companies of the Eighth Route Army.

Commander Sun, who was lurking at the ambush point, ordered two companies of the first battalion, one of the companies at the ambush point, to cover the retreating company attacking the north entrance of the village, and not to be too fierce to block the enemy troops who were catching up.

At the same time, he ordered not to entangle with the enemy, and when the little devil could not raise his head under the suppression of firepower, he immediately retreated, and led the little devil to the second ambush point of another company in a different way.

The retreating warriors pursued the little devils behind, as if they had no power to parry, and fled in two different directions in a panic.
