Noto ordered the troops to set fire to all the houses in Sunzu Village, and even destroy all the food and materials looted along the way, leaving no grass or trees on Tubalu, and executed them immediately.

At dawn on the 17th, the enemy puppet army suddenly launched the most fierce fire counterattack against the encircled Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the troops blocking Huluzui had moved their defenses, and Lei Jian received an order to lead the independent battalion back to the Jingshan position to set up an ambush, and once the enemy puppet army was found to have fled, it would be resolutely eliminated.

Before dawn, the remnants of the enemy puppet army rushed out of the gourd mouth and routed all the way to Jingshan, burning, killing and looting along the way, venting animal insults and mutilating women, and doing all kinds of evil.

When the enemy was approaching Jing Mountain, Noto Nakasa looked at the mountains on both sides and asked with fear in his heart, "What is this place?" ”

"Your Excellency, this mountain is called Jing Mountain."

Noto ordered the troops to stop advancing, and he ordered a devil squad leader: "You take a small group of Imperial Army soldiers, explore the road in front, once you find the dirt eight roads, destroy them all, and cover the large army to pass through this ravine quickly, do you understand?" ”

The leader of the devil squad 'Haiyi, Haiyi' turned around and ran to the front team, leading twenty or thirty little devils, and a platoon of puppet soldiers to explore the road in front, and groped forward in fear to the depths of Jingshan Mountain.

The puppet army walking in front looked at the mountains on both sides, and the more they looked, the more they felt that there were dirt roads hidden in the woods, and the muzzles of their guns seemed to be aimed at their heads, and they shrank their heads in fright, and the marching speed was very slow.

Under the protection of more than a dozen little devils, Noto Nakasa looked at the mountains on both sides as he walked, for fear of suddenly rushing down the ranks of the Eighth Route Army from the mountains.

He saw that the troops in front of him were moving slowly, and the speed of marching like this, once attacked by the Eighth Route Army, his troops would be buried in this valley, and he did not dare to shout in a low voice: "Baga, it is too dangerous to march so slowly in the deep mountains, order the front team to speed up the march, and those who are timid and afraid of delaying the speed of the march will be killed." ”

The enemy puppet army suddenly increased its speed, and it seemed that it was about to get out of the valley and flee back to the devil's lair.

The Lei Jian Independent Battalion, which was hidden on the slopes on both sides of the valley, found that the enemy puppet army was about to escape from the valley, Lei Jian stood up with a machine gun in his arms, and ordered loudly while firing: "Hit, hit me hard." ”

From the woods on the slopes on both sides of the valley, fierce gunfire suddenly sounded, and the bullets, grenades, and grenades that flew out continued to explode in the ranks of the enemy and puppet army in the valley.

This time, Noto led the team to attack the base of the Eighth Route Army in the Yimeng Mountains, but he did not expect to suffer such a crushing defeat, and he was about to escape from the mountains, but he did not expect to be ambushed by more fierce fire from the Eighth Route in Jingshan.

He ordered the leader of the devil squad beside him: "Quickly lead your team, open the passage out of the valley, cover me and the evacuation of the large army, bastard, act immediately." ”

The leader of the devil squad understood the meaning of Noto's order very well, and he personally took a few devils to escort Noto and rushed out.

As soon as Lei Jian saw that the little devil was about to run, he ordered the soldiers: "Kill, rush down the mountain, and kill this group of bastards." ”

Under the leadership of Battalion Commander Lei, the independent battalion was like a tiger descending from the mountain, pounced on the enemy puppet army in the valley, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and the fight was quite tragic.

The enemy puppet army has no intention of fighting, and its mind is to flee for its life, as long as it can escape back to the stronghold alive, even if it loses the dignity of the imperial army, it can't be cared about at this time.

After a fierce battle, the remnants of the enemy puppet army fled from the Jingshan Valley.

Lei Jian led the independent battalion to chase and fight fiercely all the way, and the enemy wanted to escape into a nearest stronghold, but he was still breathing, and when he turned around, he saw that the independent battalion with a murderous sound was close behind, and he was about to kill it.

In a panic, Noto ordered his troops to continue to flee around the stronghold.

As soon as Lei Jian saw that the remnants of the enemy and puppet army had fled away, he ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, increase the firepower to attack the stronghold of the devils, and be sure to pull out this devil barracks that plagued the surrounding people, and return the people to a blue sky.

Most of the enemy puppet troops in the stronghold were brought into the area of Sun Zu by Ye Teng, trying to break through Jiuzi Peak and attack the base of the Eighth Route Army in Yimeng Mountain, but they were unexpectedly ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy casualties.

In order to get rid of the pursuit of the independent battalion, the enemy puppet army who fled back crossed the stronghold and continued to flee, leaving twenty or thirty enemy puppet troops in the stronghold. A burst of heavy fire strikes destroyed the stronghold of the devils.

Niu Dali stood under the flagpole of the devil's stronghold, looked up and saw that the devil's military flag was still hanging on it, he snatched the big knife from a soldier's hand, 'click, click' three times, cut off the devil's flagpole, and as the flagpole fell, the devil's military flag fell into the dust.

Wang Xiaoliang said with a smile: "Battalion Commander Lei, we were transferred here to fight this battle, and it was quite enjoyable, but there were not many weapons and ammunition to collect the enemy's puppet army, and these poor ghosts were too shabby." ”

Zheng Tie interjected and said: "Battalion Commander Lei, we received an order from Commander Xu of the Mountain Column this time, and marched all the way to participate in this battle. ”

"Listen to what you guys say, let's fight devils for the praise of our superiors and then desperately kill devils? Hmph, they are all students who have entered the Military and Political University, and this realization is too contemptible. ”

Just as Lei Jian was speaking, a war horse rushed over, arrived in front of the troops, jumped off the horse and a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, saluted and looked at Lei Jian and asked, "May I ask who you are here is the commander of the Lei battalion?" ”

Lei Jian returned the military salute and said: "My name is Lei Jian, and I am the battalion commander of the independent battalion of the fifth detachment of the mountain column, may I ask you." ”

"You? You are the battalion commander of the separate battalion? Haha, how do I think you're younger than me, why are you really the battalion commander? The warrior asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

Lei Jian was a little annoyed by this Eighth Route Army soldier's question, and he asked with an unsightly face: "You don't believe it, do you?" Then find a battalion commander in the independent battalion yourself. ”

"No, no, Battalion Commander Lei, I didn't expect it, I didn't say it, I am Xiao Tang of the communication squad of the Mountain Column Headquarters, and I was ordered to come to pick up Battalion Commander Lei to Donggaozhuang for a meeting."

Lei Jian didn't expect that he, the commander of an independent battalion of the fifth detachment and a half-haired child, would be notified to the Eighth Route Army Mountain Column Headquarters for a meeting, and he asked a little worriedly: "Xiao Tang, do you know what the meeting is?" ”

"It should be a post-war summary meeting to summarize the Battle of Sunzu, please ask Battalion Commander Lei to ride my war horse and rush to Donggaozhuang quickly."

"The Eighth Route Army Mountain Column Headquarters, has there been an order for the independent battalion to be stationed there?" Lei Jian didn't know how to arrange the independent battalion, and then asked.

Xiao Tang shook his head: "This, I don't know about this." ”

Lei Jian didn't dare to delay, he ordered Niu Dali: "Lead the independent battalion to retreat quickly to Jingshan, hide in the woods on the slopes on both sides of the entrance, and once the enemy puppet army attacks, resolutely block the enemy outside Jingshan, and act immediately." ”

He jumped on horseback, reached out and grabbed Xiao Tang, pulled up suddenly, and the two rode together, patting the horse and rushing towards Donggaozhuang.

An hour later, Lei Jian rode to the entrance of Donggaozhuang Village, was politely intercepted by the soldiers standing guard, asked about the situation, and walked into the village under the guidance of Xiao Tang.

Donggaozhuang is a small village, a lot of troops have been gathered outside the village, the soldiers all have excited smiles on their faces, in and out are very frequent, some of them rush out of the village on horseback, some of them ride horses and go straight to the entrance of the village from different directions, dismount at the entrance of the village to be examined, the whole Donggaozhuang gives Lei Jian the feeling, nervous and serious, lively and excited.

Xiao Tang took Lei Jian to the reception room of the headquarters, and a cadre registered Lei Jian, and sent a soldier to lead Lei Jian into a small courtyard, and the soldier reported at the door: "Report director, the commander of the Lei Jian battalion of the independent battalion of the fifth detachment of the mountain column has come to report." ”

A middle-aged soldier in a cotton coat walked out of the room, looked at Lei Jian and asked with a smile: "Little guy, you are Lei Jian, the commander of the independent battalion of the fifth detachment?" ”

As soon as Lei Jian heard this person's question, he felt a little uncomfortable and stood up and reported: "Report, Lei Jian, the commander of the independent battalion of the fifth detachment, is on duty, please instruct." ”

"Hahaha, come on, come on, your kid has made a name for himself in the Battle of Sun Zu this time, the whole mountain knows that there is a half-grown child battalion commander who can fight well, I heard that you also have an advantage, called goose plucking? Hahaha, kind of interesting. ”

Lei Jian was a little embarrassed by what this middle-aged cadre said, and lowered his head with a red face, like a big child, fiddling with his fingers.
