He looked at both sides of the Shahe River, and there were still many villagers preparing to cross the bridge, Lei Jian shook his head and said: "Fellow villagers, in order to break the devil's 'cage plan' and protect the base area, I was also forced to blow up the Shahe Bridge ruthlessly, and the inconvenience caused to you, I will ask the government to build a new bridge after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War." ”

Lei Jian said and slowly squatted down, lit the fuse with trembling hands, watched the flames quickly retreat and burn against the bridge deck, and suddenly got up and rushed out of the bridge deck. Hop on the bike that has already started and quickly leave the bridgehead.

The motorcycle was speeding westward at the fastest speed, and when it reached the place where the warrior was hiding, Lei Jian heard a sudden deafening explosion behind him.

He jumped off the motorcycle, looked at the Shahe Bridge, which was detonated by heavyweight explosives, and hit the debris more than ten feet high, and then quickly fell and smashed on the surface of the Shahe River, stirring up a wave of water into the air.

After continuous explosions, only the remains of the bridgehead remained on the Shahe Bridge, and the entire Shahe lost the bridge that was convenient for traffic, cutting off the passage for the devil troops to quickly clear the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

The debris falling on the surface of the Shahe River was washed downstream by the tumbling water with the impact of the river, and finally the calm of the river surface was restored. The Sand River returned to its own flow speed, flowing with waves and surging endlessly, and in front of it was the Bohai Sea, into which the river was about to merge and throw itself into the embrace of the sea.

Li Gang looked at Lei Jian and said, "Battalion Commander Lei, it won't be so easy for the little devil to pass through the Sand River quickly." ”

Lei Jian turned his head sharply, looked at Li Gang and ordered, "Order the troops to move towards the woods west of Liugong Town immediately."

The troops were urgently assembled, and the first company of the independent battalion did not suffer many casualties in this sabotage attack on the devil's traffic, gun towers, and quarries, and the results were not small, destroying the Japanese army's communication line, and the little devil did not have a month or two to restore traffic.

The troops were marching rapidly, and suddenly two villagers rushed from a small road, and before they could reach them, they turned around and ran back.

Lei Jian was on his horse, suspicious of the two people who suddenly appeared, turned his horse's head and shouted to Li Gang: "Bring a few soldiers to follow me, and catch those two people who turned around and fled." ”

The horses chased after them, and when they were about to catch up with the two farmers who had escaped, five or six horses surrounded them in an arc.

The two croppers saw that they were about to be surrounded by the devil horse team, stopped and did not run, drew the pistol on their waists, and were about to shoot.

Lei Jian jumped up from his horse, flew into the air and flew to the two gun-wielding croppers, grabbed them with both hands, pressed them to the ground, and shouted, "Who are you?" Why did you run away when you saw us? ”

"Bastard, Lao Tzu is the Eighth Route Army, if you want to kill it, you can do whatever you want, today it falls into the hands of you little devils, I don't want to live, let's do it."

Lei Jian grabbed the two crop men who were held down by him, and asked again, "Which army are you from?" ”

"Camp Commander Lei, you, are you really Camp Commander Lei? Woo woo, the two of us are Xiao Li and Xiao Feng in the third company. The two little soldiers looked at the thunder sword in the devil's uniform, threw themselves into their arms and couldn't stop crying.

Lei Jian first suspected that there was something wrong with the two fleeing croppers, and wanted to arrest them and ask them to understand, but he didn't expect them to be the two little soldiers of the third company of the independent battalion, he stared at the two soldiers and asked eagerly: "Are you the third company led by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Xiaoliang?" How did it end up here? ”

Soldier Xiao Li Lizheng quickly reported: "Report to Battalion Commander Lei, it's not good, the third company is attacking the Zuogezhuang artillery tower, and it looks like it is about to break through the devil turret, but I didn't expect to be ambushed from behind by a reinforced devil squad, Wang Xiaoliang, deputy battalion commander, had to order the third company to withdraw from the battle immediately, but the little devils in the turret rushed out of the turret and pursued with the reinforced devil squad, and now my third company is surrounded by the enemy puppet army on a high ground, the battlefield situation is very critical, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang sent us to ....... ”

Lei Jian grabbed Xiao Li and asked nervously: "How many troops does the enemy puppet army have, how many attritions does the third company have now, and how far is the high ground near the Zuogezhuang artillery tower from here?" Tell me quickly. ”

"Report to Battalion Commander Lei, the devils who surrounded the heights, including reinforcements and turrets, can chase out more than two squads of more than a hundred, and a platoon of the puppet army. The casualties of my third company are not too big when we leave, and the high ground near Zuogezhuang can be seven or eight miles away from here, Battalion Commander Lei, if you don't hurry over to reinforce it, I'm afraid my third company will be finished. ”

When Lei Jian heard Xiao Li say this, he immediately ordered Li Gang: "You lead the troops to run for reinforcements, the motorcycle opens the way in front, and twelve war horses, each with two soldiers, will set off with me immediately." ”

A cavalry team composed of more than a dozen war horses, in front of a motorcycle with a light machine gun to open the way, followed by more than a dozen war horses, rushing to the high ground near Zuogezhuang at full speed, the dust raised behind the sky covered the sun, like a yellow dragon being harnessed, and rushed to Zuogezhuang without stopping.

It is only eight or nine miles to reach Zuogezhuang, and motorcycles and war horses will arrive in less than half an hour in the extraordinary rapid march.

Lei Jian was worried about the safety of the three companies, and urged the horse to gallop quickly all the way, just like that, he also thought that the horse's foot strength was too slow, and from time to time he whipped the war horse, and the war horse endured the master's irritability, and the four hooves took off, and took out the speed that had never run out, to cater to the master's burning mood.

Besides, Wang Xiaoliang led the three companies to attack the central artillery tower of Zuogezhuang, and after more than an hour of strong attack, the attack could not be carried out for a long time, and the soldiers were suppressed by the fierce fire of the devil's artillery tower, and every time they pushed forward, they had to pay the price of blood.

Wang Xiaoliang roared angrily: "Add the captured mortar to me and blow up the devil's turret." ”

After the gun position was adjusted, Wang Xiaoliang grabbed a shell with both hands, slammed it into the barrel, quickly covered his ears and squatted down, and waited for a long time without moving, as if the shell was stuffed into the barrel of the cannon, was eaten, and was not fired at all.

Wang Xiaoliang put down his hands covering his ears, climbed to the mortar with fear, and shook the gun mount a few times tentatively, but there was no response, and he shook it sharply, but there was still no movement.

He didn't know what was wrong, if he took the risk of making trouble, he was afraid that the shells would explode in the chamber and kill and injure the soldiers around him.

Wang Xiaoliang waved his hand to tell the soldiers to quickly retreat to both sides, and when he saw the soldiers retreat to a safe place, he kicked the mortar over, and he quickly rolled into the ditch next to him, covering his ears and lying on the ground, and after a few minutes there was still no response.

At this time, Zheng Tie, the commander of the third company, crawled to Wang Xiaoliang's side and shouted loudly: "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, why are the mortars dumb?" ”

"Bastard, who knows what's wrong, no matter how you make a mess, you can't send a cannonball."

Zheng Tie climbed up to the mortar, picked up the barrel and pointed down, the shell slipped out of it, and threw the mortar aside.

Wang Xiaoliang followed, re-erected the mortar, grabbed the shell with both hands and said, "I don't believe it, bastard, try again." ”

He cursed in his mouth, stuffed the cannonball into the barrel again with both hands, and before he could squat down and cover his ears, there was a 'bang', the shell flew out of the barrel, and flew towards the enemy turret with a deafening whistling sound.

Wang Xiaoliang happily quickly readjusted the gun position, and when the shells were stuffed in, there was no movement for a long time.

Zheng Tie shouted: "Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, this thing is sick, we are now a big enemy, we don't have time to tinker with this thing, you see that the firepower of the turret is too fierce, it will not be able to attack for a while and a half, we have to think of a way, otherwise a blind attack will cause a lot of casualties." ”

How could Wang Xiaoliang not know what was at stake? But this is also the first time that he has led a company to carry out a long-distance combat mission alone, and when attacking the first two turrets, it went very smoothly, but he was trapped by this central turret in front of him, and the soldiers attacked desperately, but they could not attack for a long time.

He ordered the company to increase its firepower to attack, and just as it was about to break through the turret fire and rush in, it was suddenly attacked by enemy reinforcements from behind, and the third company was attacked by the enemy in front and rear, and the situation was very dangerous.
