Lei Jian stood up and said with a serious expression: "Order to reconnoiter Lian Qu Jiaming, solve the enemy at the entrance of the four villages, and send troops to guard it, and the rest of the troops will immediately reinforce the troops attacking the Japanese army's transfer station."

The first company of the cavalry battalion, under the leadership of deputy commander Li Gang, was ordered to attack from the front, and the battalion commander Zhang Ting led the second company to attack from both flanks, and cooperated with the first company to break through the south gate of the Japanese army's transfer station and clear the extended single bunkers, bunkers and four artillery towers.

He ordered Bian Zhiming, deputy battalion commander, to lead the third company to divide into four directions and patrol about five miles away from Jianggezhuang Village.

The guard platoon followed me and prepared to enter the village in disguise. ”

"Captain Lei, you."

Lei Jian did not wait for everyone's persuasion, raised his voice and continued: "Comrades, our operation is not alone, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region personally instructed the Laiyuan County Anti-Japanese Government and underground anti-Japanese organizations to closely cooperate with the actions of our cavalry battalion.

Since the day of its establishment, our cavalry unit has been following our Lei Jian from birth to death, robbing tanks, blowing up munitions, breaking into enemy camps, fighting through and blocking attacking enemies, raiding military transfer stations, blowing up Japanese trains, destroying bridges, and capturing stations.

However, this sneak attack was different from the usual, first, it was fighting alone without strong foreign aid, and second, it was necessary to transport away the weapons, ammunition, food, horses, medical medicines, and other valuables that the only regiment urgently needed.

On the basis of these two points, it was determined that we should move quickly, so fast that before midnight, we must destroy all the enemy and puppet troops in the stronghold, fill the wagons prepared for us by the local anti-Japanese organizations, and withdraw all the troops from the Japanese stronghold before two o'clock in the morning. ”

When Lei Jian said this, he said again with emotion: "Comrades, we are short of time and heavy tasks, and we need every company, platoon, squad, and even every soldier to have the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and not afraid of death, in order to successfully complete the task, I ask you, do you have any determination?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Okay, you each return to the company, and immediately convene a meeting of soldiers and soldiers to explain the importance of this sneak attack mission and the urgency of time, only when every soldier has figured it out, as soon as the real battle starts, can everyone be like a little tiger and fight bravely to kill the enemy."

Lei Jian waited for everyone to leave, he was half-squatting and half-kneeling on the ground, looking at the sketch of the transfer of the Japanese army in Jianggezhuang, frowning and thinking from time to time.

Qu Jiaming, the commander of the reconnaissance company, quietly walked to Lei Jian's side, leaned down and asked, "Commander Lei, have you committed your headache again?" ”

"No, it's just that I always feel that there are still some shortcomings in this sketch, but I just can't think of it, I think about it for a long time, I feel dizzy, okay, I don't want to, when the battle starts, maybe my worries will appear, and then I will remedy it in time."

Although Lei Jian said lightly, the uneasiness in his heart always lingered, he really didn't know what he had overlooked and what he had missed.

Li Gang walked over and asked, "Captain Lei, when will we start acting?" ”

The lingering worry in Lei Jian's heart became heavier and heavier, he heard Li Gang ask, and said casually: "There are still more than two hours before dark, don't worry, Deputy Commander Li, you can take a walk around the companies and see how they are prepared." ”

At this time, there were only the soldiers of the guard platoon left by Lei Jian's side, and Song Tiedan was doing work with the soldiers, he pinched his waist with his left hand, raised his right hand, and waved it with every sentence to accompany the momentum of his speech.

Song Tiedan said: "Our reconnaissance platoon is a death squad, where is the most dangerous, where is the most fatal, we need to complete it, our guard platoon should not be afraid of death to go out and kill the little devil."

Hey, don't laugh, behind me is a cavalry battalion, don't look at the strength of a platoon, it's really a critical joint, Commander Lei first thought of our guard platoon, how big do you say this face is?

Hahaha, it's not me Song Tiedan bragging, since the day I followed Regiment Commander Lei as a guard, and then later, whether it was the guard squad or the guard platoon, it really became our only regiment of death squads, who grabbed this honor?

I can tell you, we are about to follow Captain Lei to carry out the most mysterious and exciting special mission, don't lose face to my Song Tiedan, and don't say that I Song Tiedan. ”

"That's right, it's a waist pinch and a scare, I feel ashamed of this work, hahaha." Lei Jian laughed behind Song Tiedan and patted him on the shoulder.

Song Tiedan, who was talking a lot, saw Captain Lei walking out of his shoulder from behind, Song Tiedan said embarrassedly: "Captain Lei, I didn't expect you to be behind you, what you just said is not good, it makes you laugh." ”

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Song Tiedan saw the soldiers looking at him and laughed, he deliberately put on a straight face and shouted: "Lizheng, take a break, let me ask you, am I still your platoon commander?" Why didn't you tell me quickly when you saw Regiment Commander Lei standing behind me? You, you are out of me, aren't you? ”

"Okay, my guard platoon commander, Comrade Song Tiedan, the captain of the death squad, there is no big problem with your speech, the leading idea is good, but the rhetoric is a little excessive, first, the guard platoon is not a death squad, he is responsible for the safety of the regiment leader and the organ, second, the soldiers are not charging into battle to give our commanders face, it is the soldiers who have a brave and loyal heart to serve the country and their families, hahaha, in general, you Song Tiedan still has progress, given time."

"Captain Lei, stop, stop, I didn't understand the last sentence." Song Tiedan took the opportunity to whisper: "Commander Lei, don't you often say in front of Qu Jiaming and me, 'If you two boys want to be my guards, then you are a daredevils on the battlefield, aren't you afraid', Commander Lei, haven't you forgotten this?" ”

"Hahaha, I said this, but you can't say this kind of thing in front of everyone? In this way, the fighters will have a kind of psychological pressure, which is not conducive to the fighters to let go of themselves, and they are always in a state of tension, you have also practiced martial arts for a few days, if people are always nervous, what will happen? ”

"Something is wrong with the brain."

"You bastard, you're really sick in the brain now, okay, you still say what you said according to your original intention, I'll go around the other companies." Lei Jian said and turned to leave.

At this time, in the war room of the 180th Division in Shijiazhuang, the commander of the Hino Division held the microphone and frowned and asked: "Ji Maru-kun, how is the information obtained by the troops you sent, and what is the reason for this inexplicable yellow wind rushing towards Jiang Gezhuang?" ”

The commander of the Yoshimaru Qingwu Brigade said into the microphone: "General Hino, according to reconnaissance, there is no news from several strongholds along the Laishi Highway, and Cao Chang, the stronghold of Qujiahe Village, reported that a large cavalry brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army was found, and Yang Wu and Yang Wei were moving rapidly in the direction of Shijiazhuang. ”

"Yoshimaru-kun, how did the other strongholds report back? Especially the stronghold of Jianggezhuang Village, did they find this cavalry brigade of the Great Japanese Imperial Army? ”

"Report to General Hino, the strongholds along the way only said that they saw a large yellow wind, sweeping towards the northwest, and the captain of the Inoue squad of the defenders of the Jianggezhuang stronghold reported that no abnormality was found."

The commander of the Hino Division heard the commander of the Yoshimaru Kiyobu Brigade say three answers, one was to find a huge cavalry brigade, the other was to find the rolling yellow wind, and the other was to see nothing, could it be that this cavalry brigade flew into the sky with the yellow wind?

He sternly ordered: "Yoshimaru-kun, order your brigade to send a mobile squad to patrol along the Laishi Highway, and order the Japanese army in Jianggezhuang to transfer to a combat squad and send a patrol squad to quickly patrol five kilometers to the southeast, and strengthen the security protection of the military transfer station." ”

The commander of the Yoshimaru Kiyobu Brigade received the order and immediately sent a fast-acting motorcycle team to patrol to the east of Jiang Gezhuang's stronghold, and ordered the military to transfer to the captain of the Inoue squad and send a ten-man enemy puppet army to search along the way, and found that strange cavalry brigade, and reported it immediately.

After giving the order, the commander of the Yoshimaru Kiyobu Brigade was still not at ease, grabbed the phone and asked again: "General Hino, don't you have any thoughts about this strange cavalry brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army?" ”

"Yoshimaru-kun, I, the 180th Hino Division, have never attacked such a large cavalry brigade at one time, and as for the cavalry brigade that suddenly appeared on the Laishi Highway today, I am deeply suspicious, could it be that the Eighth Road of the Soil was disguised."
