Lei Jian had something in his heart, and he was not in the mood to explain the ins and outs of the 'Hundred Regiments Battle' in advance, so he said to Wang Xiaoliang: "Immediately order a cavalry company, prepare to go, and wait for orders at any time." ”

As soon as Wang Xiaoliang heard Lei Jian's order to him, he knew that he could participate in this raid on Dawangzhen again, and said happily to Lei Jian: "Yes, I will arrange it immediately, thank you Commander Lei." ”

Luo Jinchuan really envied these two half-grown children, whether it was on the battlefield, on the march or in the camp, the two of them were like a pair of twins, no one could do without each other, a battle was not together, they were worried about each other's restlessness, this kind of friendship condensed with blood and life can never be destroyed.

He stood up and took Lei Jian's hand and said: "Lei Jian, as your old battalion commander, big brother, and now the political commissar who is your partner, I have the responsibility to remind you that no matter in any battle, you must protect yourself and don't blindly take risks, big brother can't do without you, independent regiments can't do without you, and the soldiers can't afford to lose in this regard." ”

Lei Jian was very embarrassed by Luo Jinchuan's words, his eyes reflected tears, and he hugged Luo Jinchuan tightly, this feeling that he was really a child who had not grown up, relying on Luo Jinchuan's broad chest, he found the warmth of being hugged by his father when he was a child, and tears flowed out unconsciously.

This kind of weak feeling was only in an instant, it was controlled by Lei Jian, and now it was on the way to the west, he didn't have time to follow the ups and downs of emotions in this green gauze tent, restraining his hands and feet, he raised his head suddenly, left Luo Jinchuan's arms, and said after standing up: "Old battalion commander, big brother, my good political commissar, Lei Jian can partner with you in this life, and can kill devils on the battlefield with you, it is my blessing and our fate, rest assured, I will protect myself in the rain of bullets, the troops will be handed over to you, I will go." ”

The two pairs of big hands clasped tightly together again, and just as Lei Jian was about to turn around and leave, He Chuntao, the health captain, rushed to Lei Jian's side and asked nervously, "Brother Lei, are you going to take a company of cavalry soldiers to act alone?" Can you look at the face of the more than 2,000 soldiers of the entire independent regiment and spare your life well? ”

"Comrade He Chuntao, this is a march and a war, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of your health team, and you have no right to interrogate and participate, I order you to return to your post immediately, and be ready to lead your health team and the wounded and sick at any time to follow the departure of the large army."

Lei Jian suddenly rushed out of the green gauze tent as he spoke, flew and jumped on the war horse that had been prepared long ago, and shouted to Qu Jiaming, who was waiting on the side of the road with the war horse: "Order the cavalry company to set off." ”

He Chuntao, who was ruthlessly stopped by Lei Jian, watched Lei Jian rush out of the green gauze tent without looking back, a kind of weak state of a woman being wronged and pitied, and Luo Jinchuan, a big man, was very embarrassed.

Although Luo Jinchuan had already married a wife and had children, he joined the Red Army guerrillas in less than ten days with his newlywed wife.

He looked at Chun Tao's tearful eyes, Chu Chu's touching and pitiful appearance, patted Chun Tao's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Chun Tao, Lei Jian, this stinky boy is such a child who hasn't grown up, he doesn't speak lightly or heavily, don't cry anymore, when he comes back, I will ask him to take the initiative to apologize to you." ”

Chun Tao couldn't control her feelings for a while, and she was about to cry if she was wronged, and she threw herself into Luo Jinchuan's arms and sobbed.

This frightened Luo Jinchuan, he was a soldier and the political commissar of this army, and he actually hugged a girl, who was still the head of the regiment, and the ...... of the head of the regiment, no matter what kind of relationship the girl had with Lei Jian, holding Chun Tao like this is likely to cause everyone's misunderstanding.

Luo Jinchuan stepped back suddenly, almost throwing a spring peach full of grievances and trying to find a story to rely on.

Chun Tao wiped away a handful of tears embarrassedly, Lizheng gave Luo Jinchuan a military salute, turned around and rushed out.

Lei Jian led a company of cavalry, and under the guidance of the platoon commander of the puppet army, he took a shortcut and quickly rushed towards Dawang Town, a few miles away.

Dawang Town is far away from the surrounding county seats, here compared with the Jiaodong area, the villages are sparse, there are not many pedestrians, it is difficult to meet a pedestrian on the dirt road, even if you can meet a few people, but also the villagers who work in the surrounding villages.

When the villagers saw a cavalry team rushing over, they didn't know the details, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly got into the crop field to hide, and when the troops rushed over, they came out of the field, patted their chests and asked each other: "What kind of team is this?" It looks very majestic. ”

One said, "I look like the Eighth Route Army." ”

The others shook their heads and said, "Won't it?" How could the Eighth Route Army have such power? The troops resisted all earthen guns and artillery, and the clothes they wore were of different colors, but this cavalry team, I see that they have good guns on their shoulders and sabers in their hands, and they are definitely not the team of the Eighth Route Army. ”

In the suspicious eyes of these villagers, Lei Jian's cavalry company had already rushed out far away, and all they saw was a puffed up dust and mist, moving forward quickly.

When approaching Dawangzhuang, the number of pedestrians on the road began to increase, and Lei Jian ordered the cavalry company to get into the green gauze tent, and when this team rushed out of the green gauze tent again, it was a cavalry team of little devils.

When the pedestrians on the road saw this devil cavalry team, they rushed over frantically and hurriedly avoided it, for fear that they would not be able to dodge and suffer from it.

There is still more than a mile away from Dawang Town, Lei Jian took the puppet army platoon commander Zhao Mancang, and a few skilled soldiers, leading the war horse to hide in the green gauze tent, and quickly approached Dawang Town.

Wang Xiaoliang wanted to follow, but Lei Jian ordered in a low voice: "You take a company of cavalry to hide in the green gauze tent, and then move towards Dawangzhuang, don't expose the target, and wait for the action order." ”

Dawangzhuang is a relatively poor place, the villagers here mainly rely on the sky for food, and the population in the town is not too much, that is, a big village in Jiaodong.

This is the main road to Dezhou and southern Hebei, the little devil attaches great importance to Dawang Town, and in the case of insufficient troops, he even sent a devil team, and sent an additional company of the Imperial Association Army to guard Dawang Town.

Lei Jian and the others approached Dawang Town, and when they saw the villagers coming in and out of the town, they were carrying the tools of working in the field and walking briskly, for fear of provoking anyone and suddenly suffering.

Lei Jian asked Zhao Mancang beside him: "You are very familiar with Dawang Town, right?" ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, my brother of the puppet army platoon, who guarded in this town, and later switched to the village in the southeast, and is still familiar with this place." Zhao Mancang hurriedly replied.

"I ask you, where is the barracks of the little devils? How was the main force of the town fortified? How many troops should there be in the town now? Lei Jianlian asked.

Zhao Mancang watched Lei Jian take out a piece of paper and a pen, paused to wait for him to answer, he said a little nervously: "The devil's barracks are in the northwest corner of the town, and the little devils forced the people to pay for the repair, and there is a team of devils living in it.

There was a light machine gun at the gate of the devil's barracks, and the improvised fortifications were made of sacks loaded with soil and stacked to form a semicircle.

The little devils set up barbed wire fences at the four exits of the town, and there were three to five little devils, five or six Imperial Cooperative Army handles, and when they saw any of the pedestrians who were not pleasing to the eye, they stopped and checked.

There is a five-person little devil patrol in the town, and a ten-person puppet army patrol, these two teams patrol from time to time, so calculated, the devils left in the devil's barracks, at most thirty or forty, the imperial army lives scattered, most of them requisition the houses in the town as barracks, and some are relatively far away.

These puppet barracks are mainly distributed in the northeast corner of the town, relatively close to the devil barracks, Commander Lei, you can also see that this Dawang Town is not big, there is a street in the north and south, east and west, and then there are some small streets and alleys, a cavalry company of our Eighth Route Army, if it is a sneak attack, it will be easy to pull out this devil's stronghold. ”

When Lei Jian heard Zhao Mancang say this, he not only raised his head and glanced at him, but also frowned and asked again: "Dawang suppressed a squad of devils and a company of puppet troops, remove you, a platoon that was dispatched, at least there are seventy or eighty puppet troops in the town, counting more than a hundred enemy puppet troops, do you think one of my cavalry companies will be able to pull out this enemy stronghold easily?" ”

Zhao Mancang was asked by Lei Jian, and suddenly felt a basin of cold water being poured on his back, looked at Lei Jian tremblingly, and said carefully: "Commander Lei, I don't mean anything else, just to see that the people of our cavalry company are all mighty, dealing with more than 100 devils and puppet soldiers, rushing in for a while of sabre chopping, you said that the defenseless little devils, if you don't need a bag or two of cigarettes, will you be cleaned up by us?" ”

He felt that he hadn't made it clear yet, so he hurriedly said: "The puppet army in the town has never fought, if Commander Lei believes it, give me a squad of Eighth Route soldiers, and I can put them in order." ”！
