Under the care of Wang Xiaoliang and other warriors all the way, Lei Jian crossed the mountains and mountains, walked through the woods, stepped on thorns and spread through the bushes, and finally came to Yangjiabu after many difficulties and dangers.

Yangjiabu is located in the deep mountains, the traffic is inconvenient, there is only a small intersection in and out, if you set up an ambush at this steep and dangerous intersection, it is difficult for the enemy to rush in, it is a very good place for concealment.

Walk along the steep path into the valley mouth, you can see a depression formed in the middle of the mountain surrounded by mountains, this depression is a semicircle, the south is called Tiger Mountain, the west is called Leopard Mountain, the east is called Wolong Mountain, and the north is called Niu Mountain.

This crescent-like depression surrounded by mountains is home to dozens of villages surnamed Yang, known as Yangjiabu.

Wang Xiaoliang led the assault platoon into the entrance of the village, and was welcomed into the village by the soldiers who were standing guard at the entrance of the village in the early stage of escorting military supplies.

At this time, Lei Jian had already woken up, he walked down from the stretcher, looked at the mountains and trees around Yangjiabu, nodded with satisfaction and said, This is a wonderful place for health and rest, and it is also a good place for soldiers to practice martial arts.

He asked Cao Shangui, who arrived early: "Company Commander Cao, why hasn't Deputy Battalion Commander Niu brought a few companies back yet?" ”

"Nope." Cao Shangui shook his head and replied.

Besides, Niu vigorously led the soldiers, and was blocking the attacking enemy very hard, and the battle had reached a very cruel and dangerous situation, and the devil's army was about to break through the forward position.

At this life-and-death juncture, dozens of shells were suddenly fired from the southern peak of Aoshan Mountain, falling into the devil's camp and the place where the enemy gathered, the explosion destroyed the devil's offensive formation, and the enemy was subjected to heavy artillery bombardment.

Niu Dali lost no time in ordering: "The enemy has retreated, immediately withdraw from the position and move closer to Yangjiabu." ”

Zheng Tie took the lead in attacking: "Bastard, are you Niu Dali still a person, Battalion Commander Lei is covered with burns and supported us in Nanfeng, and now that we are saved, we have to withdraw from the position and hand over the enemy to a platoon led by Battalion Commander Lei, I think you kid is a bastard with no conscience." ”

Niu vigorously roared angrily: "Zheng Tie, I am now carrying out the order given by Battalion Commander Lei when he left, our companies have completed the task of blocking the enemy for one hour, and now we will withdraw from our positions immediately, whoever dares to disobey the order, I will enforce battlefield discipline on behalf of Battalion Commander Lei, and withdraw immediately." ”

He stood on a big rock, waved the gun in his hand, and ordered loudly: "Be fast, if we rub it off any longer, we will just want to withdraw, and we will also ask the little devil to pounce on us and bite us, and then none of us will want to withdraw alive." ”

Under the coercion of Niu Dali, the fighters on the position quickly withdrew from their positions.

Niu Dali ordered Zheng Tie: "You take the second company to block the enemy, but you must not fall in love with the battle, immediately follow the troops, did you hear?" ”

"Understood, you quickly retreat with the troops, and I will cover." Zheng Tie and the second company were ambushed on a retreating high ground, and just ten minutes after they withdrew from their positions, the position of the main peak of Aoshan was fiercely shelled by devil mortars.

Zheng Tie stuck out his tongue, admiring Lei Jian before leaving, he could predict that the devil was going to carry out such a crazy artillery attack, and ordered the troops to withdraw from the position in advance.

The devils, who were stepping up their attack, were about to break through the main peak position of the Eighth Route Army, but they were suddenly hit by the artillery fire of the South Peak, and the attack of the troops was frustrated for a while, and they retreated to the bottom of the mountain.

Fujiwara Koji roared angrily: "This damn half-big branch of that hairy child, where did you get the mortar, and you can use such fierce artillery fire to attack the imperial army, I want to blow up the position of the southern peak of Aoshan occupied by this Tubalu and completely destroy this Tubalu." ”

He immediately ordered all mortars, grenadiers, and concentrated fire to bombard the South Peak.

Kosaka Masao held the binoculars, stared at Nanfeng who was shrouded in artillery fire, and scolded with a pout: "Bastard, this time none of Nanfeng's dirt roads will survive, all of them will die." ”

The bombardment of the south peak of Aoshan Mountain for more than ten minutes, and when the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the south peak was quiet, and only the position of the Eighth Route Army in the south peak could be found, and there were still fireworks that had not been extinguished, and under the blowing of the wind, irregular smoke drifted on the position.

Fujiwara Koji looked at Masao Kosaka and said: "Kosaka-kun, the dirt of the South Peak has been wiped out, and your leading troops will immediately attack the main peak of Ao Mountain under the cover of artillery fire, and you must occupy the position of the Eighth Road in the territory under this round of attack, do you understand?" ”

"Hay, Hay."

Masao Kosaka drew his command knife and ordered the troops participating in the attack: "The warriors of the empire, the mortars of the imperial army, are about to carry out the last round of artillery fire on the main peak of Aoshan, and under the cover of artillery fire, kill the position of the Eighth Road. ”

The enemy once again carried out the most fierce artillery attack on the main peak, and the little devil attacked the main peak frantically under the supervision of Masao Kosaka.

The little devil who rushed in front shouted and shot and charged towards the main peak position, without being hit by a little firepower, when the little devil trembled and climbed the main peak position of Ao Mountain, he suddenly shouted boldly: "The imperial army has won, and the Tuba Road has been wiped out, hahaha." ”

Fujiwara Koji held the binoculars and saw that his troops, this time they were not counterattacked by the powerful firepower of the Tsuchihachi Road, and successfully climbed the main peak of Aoshan, and couldn't help laughing arrogantly: "The Tsuchibara has been completely wiped out by my Fujiwara brigade, and my results are great." ”

He ordered two squadrons to garrison Aoshan to block the small Eighth Route Army that had infiltrated from the direction of Daqingshan, and he led Kosaka Masao's squadron back to Rokunomiya Town.

As soon as Fujiwara Koji walked into Rokunomiya Town, he saw that the arsenal that had been looted by the assault platoon led by Lei Jian was empty, and even the Japanese troops of the squad he left behind were all shattered.

He roared angrily back and forth: "Yaga, this hateful half-haired kid has attacked the arsenal of the Imperial Japanese Army many times, he is an out-and-out big thief, I must catch and kill him." ”

"Fujiwara-kun, my suspicion, this little bastard known as the Thunder Warlord has already died when he attacked the arsenal last time and was blown up by a burning truck, he just didn't die, and he couldn't escape his life under the artillery fire of the south peak and the main peak of Ao Mountain these two times." Masao Kosaka said treacherously.

"You mean this bastard is really dead? That's great, we don't have to be a precautionary thief who specializes in sneaking up on the Imperial Army's quartermaster depot, hahaha, as long as we don't have this bastard kid to worry about, we can be very relieved. ”

Kosaka Masao saw that Fujiwara Koji was so happy, and made an exception and flattered: "Fujiwara-kun, this time I eliminated a regiment that went deep into the Japanese theater of operations on the Tsuchibachi Road, and Shangfeng will definitely greatly commend the Fujiwara Brigade for its meritorious service, senior brother this time." ”

"Hahaha, my has telegraphed to Captain Kameda and the head of the Hoshino Brigade, and the verbal commendation has been given, and it will be reported to the military headquarters immediately, mine is waiting, there should be a better result, Kosaka-kun, you also have the credit."

"Thank you for your support, Kosaka again."

The two devil leaders were boasting about themselves, bluntly mentioning the heavy losses this time, and actually lying about the military situation from all over the world, and the time was not long, and they were really commended by the military department, which is really a big joke.

In addition, Lei Jian's newly formed independent battalion all returned to Yangjiabu, and Lei Jian ordered the troops to train their troops in a whole way, and built a simple barracks in Yangjiabu, and in accordance with the training outline issued by Lei Jian, they strengthened the training of the troops and improved their political and military quality.

At the end of December 1938, the Fifth Detachment of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army of the Eighth Route Army was renamed the Fifth Detachment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, with the 61st, 62nd, 63rd, and 55th regiments under its jurisdiction, and later the 64th regiment.

Gao Jinchun's political commissar was changed to commander, Wu Kehua was the deputy commander, Song Cheng was the political commissar, Zhao Xichun was the chief of staff, and Song Zhuting was the director of the political department.

Lei Jian received a telegram from the senior commander of the detachment, ordering the newly formed independent battalion to be subordinated to the headquarters of the five detachments, requesting that the training of the troops be strengthened and waiting for new orders.

A month later, the independent battalion received an urgent telegram from the detachment headquarters, ordering the troops to move towards Daqingyang, preparing to attack the Japanese Kuraya Jitaro enemy puppet army and attack the base area in the Daze Mountains.

Daqingyang also belongs to the Daze Mountains, from Yangjiabu to Daqingyang, there are more than 100 miles, copy the mountain road shortcut, the rapid march also takes five or six hours, if the heavy march, it is really not good to say what time to arrive.

Lei Jian carefully studied the map at hand, and in order to speed up the march and avoid detours, he decided to ask a few guides along the way to lead the team, and strive to reach Daqingyang safely at the scheduled time.
