Commander Liu walked up to Lei Jian and said, "Lei boy is so powerful, the devil's tank can be captured, come, you take me to see your new tank, where is the new?" ”

When Lei Jian heard Commander Liu say this, he said embarrassedly: "Commander Liu, how can there be any new chariots, it's all my cleverness and foolishness, it's not what it looks like, you definitely can't look at it, you better don't look at it, right?"

Commander Liu took the commanders at all levels of the detachment to take a closer look at the 'new chariot' that Lei Jian had made, and praised them one by one: "This Lei boy has so many crooked intestines, anything in his hands will change, and it will get twice the result with half the effort, it's not simple, I really don't dare to underestimate this kid." ”

Political Commissar Gao pointed to the modified truck and asked, "Lei Jian, how do you use this thing, can you briefly introduce it to those of us?" ”

Lei Jian raised his hand and touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hi hey, hi hey, you have all seen it, I have nothing to say, just to start a war, fix mortars and heavy machine guns on trucks, have great mobility, attack the enemy quickly, and can have the effect of raiding and attacking the enemy." ”

At the urging of the senior commander of the detachment, Lei Jian, who had become shy at this time, briefly introduced the performance of the modified new combat vehicle and the methods that were easy to operate.

Hearing the praise of the commanders at all levels, several regiment commanders and political commissars jumped into the car, fiddled with a burst of 'haha' and laughed: "Yes, I really have ideas, why didn't we come up with them?" This Lei boy is really not simple, I dare not underestimate it, it is a good material. ”

Commander Liu jumped into the car excitedly, pointed out and carefully asked a few places, and put forward some suggestions for improvement, before jumping out of the car and saying: "Now that the commanders and political commissars of each regiment are here, let's immediately hold a post-war summary meeting of the detachment headquarters to sum up experience and find out the shortcomings, so as to facilitate the re-fighting." ”

At the meeting, mainly centering on the brutal purging of the base areas carried out by the enemy's 13th Brigade, the five detachments of the Shandong Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army of the Eighth Route Army fought bravely against the enemy, and discussed some issues and put forward their own ideas in the campaign to thwart the enemy.

In the end, Commander Liu summed up: "This campaign was the first large-scale battle between our five detachments and two regiments of the seven detachments and two regiments, and we gained bloody experience and lessons in battlefield command and troop mobilization, and also accumulated rare experience for attacking the enemy and protecting the revolutionary base areas in the western battlefield. ”

Political Commissar Gao continued: "Comrades, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army requires the anti-Japanese contingent throughout the country to take the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy's encirclement, suppression, and sweep in accordance with the principle of avoiding reality and making up for hypocrisy, the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy tired and fighting in the course of the war against Japan. ”

At the end of the meeting, Commander Liu said solemnly: "At present, the enemy's 13th Brigade will not carry out large-scale operations in the base areas, and our five detachments must seize this rare opportunity to recuperate, strengthen the training of troops, help the government and the people in the base areas, and establish local armed forces. ”

He took a sip of water and continued: "In this anti-clean-up campaign, the headquarters requires all regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads to do a good job of summarizing after the battle, and this is also an improvement for the soldiers, especially the combat skills of Lei Jian and the resourcefulness and decisiveness against the enemy, which should be taken as a good opportunity for us to summarize and learn this time. ”

Commander Liu said and looked at Lei Jian: "Lei Jian, if any regiment asks you to make a small report on the spot, you can't shirk it, you must actively cooperate, don't think that this is your own business, if you mobilize the soldiers and improve their combat capabilities through speeches, especially the command decisions of commanders at all levels are improved, then we will kill more little devils and shed less blood in future battles against the enemy, do you understand?" ”

Lei Jian blushed and replied: "Report to the commander, Lei Jian will definitely carry out the order, and I will go wherever it is pointed to, without ambiguity." ”

After the meeting ended, the three regiment commanders respectively grabbed Lei Jian and said, "Lei boy, you have to go to our regiment first, and I will prepare some delicious food for you when the time comes, and treat you well, hahaha." ”

In the past few days, he has been busy with Lei Jian, constantly making reports in turn, first cadres and then soldiers, which has made his head big, but he knows that paying attention to ideological and political work is the party's consistent style, and he did not expect to attach so much importance to it during the anti-Japanese period.

In order to improve the political and military quality of commanders at all levels, the headquarters of the Fifth Detachment decided to send more than a dozen relatively young commanders to study at the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadres School (the predecessor of the Jiaodong Kang University Branch).

The first batch of students was led by Lei Jian, and the students were composed of more than a dozen fighters such as Niu Dali, Wang Xiaoliang, Chun Tao, and Li Gang.

It was an early morning when Lei Jian led the team to set off, and when the sun had just risen in the east, the dozen or so students lined up at the entrance of the detachment headquarters, waiting for the commander and political commissar to give a send-off speech.

Commander Liu looked at Lei Jian with a smile and said: "Lei Jian, you are a stinky boy with a lot of brains, this time I went to study at the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadre School, I hope you can learn more knowledge, and arm me with your little brain, when I see you again, I hope to have a new political outlook." ”

"Don't worry, Commander, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Lei Jian This is the first time since he crossed into this era, leaving the army to study at this military and political cadre school that the soldiers of all units yearn for, he secretly made up his mind that he must seriously understand the political and military theories of Jiaodong during this period from the beginning, and he must not let himself go, and cherish this rare opportunity to learn.

The high political commissar said to all the students: "You can be sent by the headquarters to study in the school, it is your pride, you must be diligent and conscientious, abide by the school rules, respect the teacher and every student, improve political and ideological consciousness, learn real skills, hope to return to the army again, can help each other in the five detachments, improve the political and military quality of the overall cadres and soldiers of the five detachments of our Eighth Route Army, do you have confidence?" ”

"Yes—", a dozen students replied with their chests straight.

Lei Jian "set off" under Commander Liu's order, and left the base in high spirits, attracting envious eyes from the soldiers along the way.

The Jiaodong Military and Political Cadres School, where more than a dozen cadets are to be registered, is more than 100 miles away from the base area, and it is only known that the school site is near Guojiadian in Yenanshan, and on the way it will pass through several townships and towns, some of which have Japanese troops stationed, and reactionary forces are rampant, especially the small number of troops of the Eighth Route Army passing through, as long as they seize the opportunity, they will encircle and suppress them.

Lei Jian led the student detachment, quickly to the Guojiadian in Ye Nanshan, in order to speed up, everyone marched lightly, along the way in addition to eating some dry food, thirsty to find a stream to drink saliva, they did not dare to delay at all, they should strive to rush to the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadres School before dark, so as not to encounter danger on the road.

In order to save time, the detachment specially looked for mountain roads to take shortcuts and hurried forward, running all the way, their feet were grinding out blood blisters, and they limped forward one by one, and the marching speed was obviously much slower.

Niu Dali is physically strong, and he often marches and fights in the army, and he can exercise well, but since he followed Lei Jian's side, he either rode a horse or sat in a seized devil truck, and in the end he often fought with the enemy in an enemy tank, and his hard-working nature degenerated, and he also felt tired at this time, gritted his teeth and whispered behind Lei Jian: "Captain Lei, let's go all the way, you are fine, but these brothers can't stand it." ”

"You bastard, how did I become 'Captain Ray' again?"

"Haha, this cadet team is led by you, so won't you naturally become our captain?"

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang came up and said breathlessly: "Niu Dali is right, you are now our Captain Lei, look at these students, how can you still walk?" Look at Sister Chuntao again, she is still far away with a stick, if you just keep walking, you don't have to go to school, you will be tired to death. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Sit down and rest for a while, and then walk when you recover, so that you can walk faster." Niu vigorously wiped the sweat from his head and said.

"No, once you sit down and try to get up and walk forward, no one can move." Lei Jian said in denial.

Wang Xiaoliang pleaded and said, "Brother-in-law, me." ”

"Malgobi, if you call me brother-in-law again, I will throw you off the top of the mountain, and see if you are still cheap."

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to scream, so you have to find a way? It's not going to be more than 100 miles, so I can't say that these people really use their feet, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Huh? Small, hehe, it's called smooth, it's really hard to change for a while, I said Captain Lei, you want to find a way to get a horse for everyone, if it really doesn't work, the donkey is also okay, it's better than nothing, you say yes, Brother Strong? ”
