Lei Jian touched the time, three o'clock in the morning from the time determined by the general attack on the county seat, getting closer and closer, but he had not been able to get in touch with the political commissar Luo Jinchuan who was ambushed outside, and the time passed little by little, and Lei Jian's nervous hands were sweating.

He knew in his heart that if the time for unified action could not be determined inside and outside, once the general attack on the county town campaign began, it would inevitably cause tactical incoordination and affect the rapid breakthrough of the city gate and the advance in depth.

Lei Jian raised the shovel head in his hand to a high place, he poked his head out, and through the electric lights laid by the enemy, he kept looking at the night outside the lights, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes and didn't move.

At this time, Political Commissar Luo took Staff Officer Zhou and a few soldiers, and slowly approached the location designated by Staff Officer Zhou in concealment, and saw that he was about to touch the light machine gun position under the light of the devil, and Staff Officer Zhou said in a low voice: "Political Commissar Luo, don't dare to move forward, it's too close, once you alarm the enemy, it will be a big trouble to expose the target." ”

Several people were prostrate on the ground, and Staff Officer Zhou pointed to the front and said: "Commander Lei and the soldiers of the special company were driven down by the enemy puppet army and the moat that had not been dug not far ahead, let's look carefully to see if there are any recognizable signs." ”

"Are you sure that Captain Lei and them are in the moat that hasn't been dug yet?" Political Commissar Luo asked again.

"That's right, I stared at Captain Lei from daytime until they were driven into the moat, and I didn't miss it for a while, and I also saw Captain Lei, when he was about to walk down the moat, he also made a fist in my direction, which is a secret code to confirm the location."

Political Commissar Luo picked up the binoculars, took advantage of the enemy's lights in the moat, searched carefully, looked at it for a while, as if vaguely saw a raised shovel head, he shouted in a low voice with some excitement: "I saw the signal sent by Battalion Commander Lei, Staff Officer Zhou, take a look again, the vague thing that is about ten meters west in front of you, is it the contact code shovel head?" ”

Staff Officer Zhou took the binoculars, looked at it and shouted in a low voice of surprise: "That's it, that's right, that vague sign is the shovel head, it seems that Regiment Commander Lei and they infiltrated the labor team, and everything is going well." ”

Luo Jinchuan took out the flashlight, wrapped a red cloth in the front lamp, and scanned the surroundings a few times to confirm that there was no danger, so he cautiously pointed the flashlight head at the vague joint code, and pressed the switch to send out the first contact signal.

Thunder Sword, hidden in the moat, was craned his neck, staring at the dark shadow in the night in the distance to the north, and suddenly found that from the distance in the night, a brief red signal was emitted.

Lei Jian shouted excitedly in a low voice: "Political Commissar Luo led the large army, and it has arrived at the predetermined location, and it seems that everything is going well." ”

As he spoke, he tilted his shovel five degrees to the west, and received a second signal from the night to the north.

Thunder Sword was spaced less than two minutes apart, tilting the head of the shovel ten degrees to the east, ready to receive the third signal contact in the night.

When the third contact signal was complete and unmistakable, Lei Jian and Political Commissar Luo, the two commanders in different positions, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and were very satisfied with the preparatory work and implementation steps in the early stage.

Political Commissar Luo ordered to Staff Officer Zhou: "There are still ten minutes to start the general attack on the county seat, and you lead the field assault platoon to be formed, and first knock out the five light machine gun positions of the devils outside the moat." ”

He ordered Niu vigorously beside him: "You lead a battalion, when you see Staff Officer Zhou Peng leading the assault team to take the devil's light machine gun position, immediately launch the most fierce fire attack on the devil's heavy machine gun position on the east and west sides of the north gate of the city, and strive to clear the fire deployment of the devil at the north gate of the city within fifteen minutes." ”

Zheng Tie came up at this time and asked in a low voice: "Political Commissar Luo, it's about to be time to launch a general attack, when will the devil's power be cut off?" ”

"Don't worry, wait for the two troops led by Deputy Regiment Commander Niu and Staff Officer Zhou Peng, while attacking the enemy's position, order the assault squad to cut the devil's wires at all costs, as long as the north gate of the city and near the moat, lose the light, Commander Lei and they can take the opportunity to take advantage of the temporary chaos of the enemy outside the city, jump from the city wall into the city, as long as the county inside and outside the county cooperate effectively, it will be very smooth to take the county seat."

After political commissar Luo gave the order, he looked at his watch again, and there were still five minutes before the time of launching a general attack on the county town at three o'clock in the morning, and he said to Staff Officer Zhou beside him: "Convey the order, order all battalions and companies to prepare for the general attack." ”

He once again sent a contact signal to Lei Jian lurking in the labor team, and Lei Jian nervously ordered the soldiers around him: "You have taken care of the scaffolding to repair the city wall during the day, right?" There are five minutes to launch a general attack on the county seat, once the peripheral troops launch an attack, at the same time cut off the devil's lighting wire, and quickly receive the weapons sent to us from the periphery, take advantage of the sudden darkness of the entire north gate of the city, find their own course of action, immediately to the scaffolding city wall to raid the past, seize the city wall, this is a key step in the early capture of the city wall position, every soldier must take the lead, must not drag the mud and water to delay the fighter. ”

The soldiers around him replied in a low voice: "Please rest assured, as long as the power is cut off, we will be like a tiger, madly pounced on the city wall, and will never drag the entire army back to launch a general attack on the county seat." ”

As the minutes and seconds passed, Wang Xiaoliang nervously pulled up Lei Jian's hand, put it on his chest, and whispered: "Captain Lei, my heart is beating suddenly, and I am about to jump out of my nervousness." ”

Yes, such a big battle to attack the county seat, for these new and old soldiers of the independent regiment, this is the first time, Wang Xiaoliang, Niu Dali, Li Gang, Chun Tao, although they participated in the old independent regiment's strong attack on Wuning County, but in that battle the old independent regiment not only failed to capture the county, but drilled into the trap set by the devil, if it were not for Lei Jian with a company, snatching the devil's tank, firepower to attack the enemy puppet army that surrounded it, and rushing around the county to help, the old independent regiment may be wiped out.

Now we are going to attack the county seat of Yexian again, although the preparations are sufficient, and the weapons and equipment of the troops and the fighting quality of the soldiers are much better than those of the old independent regiment in all aspects. But with the danger of that siege and the lessons of blood and fire, and now he is going to attack the county seat, not to mention that Wang Xiaoliang is nervous, even the confident Thunder Sword can't help but increase the beating of his heart.

Lei Jian saw that Wang Xiaoliang was nervous, not only his heart was beating faster, but even his whole body was a little trembling, and he comforted in a low voice: "Nervous, this is a moment that makes every soldier worthy of being nervous, and when the battle starts and you fight bravely to kill the enemy, not only will you not be nervous, but you will ......." Just as Lei Jian and Wang Xiaoliang were talking, suddenly near the moat in the north of the city, fierce gunshots rang out.

In addition, when there were still five minutes to go before the general attack on the county seat, the vanguard troops moved quickly and covertly to the front target.

Staff Officer Zhou Peng saw that the five squads that had secretly attacked the devil's light machine gun position were already in place, and he let out a sharp roar, and the five squads suddenly jumped up and pounced on the devil's light machine gun position.

At the same time, a battalion led by Niu Dali set up six mortars in the dark near the north gate of the city, adjusted the gun positions, and waited for Zhou Peng's assault team to start moving.

Battalion Commander Zheng Tie beside him suddenly shouted: "Deputy Regiment Commander Niu, Staff Officer Zhou has already sent the signal to sneak attack the devil's light machine gun position, and we have begun to ......." ”

Niu Dali had already heard Zhou Peng's roar of action, and he waved his hand to the artillery squad and ordered: "Fire and fire at the two heavy machine gun positions on the east and west of the north gate of the Devil City——。 ”

......Zheng Tie took this opportunity to order the assault squad to act immediately, to cut off the devil's wires at all costs, so that the north gate of the city would become a black one, and cover the special company of the head of the Lei Jian Regiment to climb over the city wall and enter the county seat.

Staff Officer Zhou Peng led a sneak attack team, and at the same time as he issued the order to act, he took the lead in bouncing up, and rushed to the devil's light machine gun position more than 20 meters in front with the soldiers around him.

At this time, it is three o'clock in the morning, this time period is also the golden time when the human cerebral cortex is most paralyzed and needs to sleep from the inside out.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of running from the north of my body, and the sound became louder and louder, as if I was about to rush to him, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, and I thought it was in a dream, until I was killed by a bayonet and a dagger, and I didn't wake up from my dream.

At this time, the thunder sword hidden in the moat, their nervous hearts, 'bang' straight up, constantly expanding, as if they were about to jump out of their mouths, just when they were nervously waiting, they suddenly found that five small groups of figures rushed out of the black shadows, and at the same time pounced on different devil light machine gun positions.
