Lao Sun first said: "Captain Lei, I can do it, you can give the order." ”

The other two seriously wounded shouted as they got up from the stretcher: "Commander Lei, our injuries are recovering well, and it will not affect the shooting of devils." ”

"Comrades, this is a melee in the tunnel with a fierce enemy, don't be reckless, you must tell me clearly according to your own injuries, whether you can do it or not, I don't want you to talk nonsense, this will not only not help, but also drag down the entire tactical deployment of blocking the enemy."

Without consideration, the three seriously wounded replied firmly: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, we don't have to lie on a stretcher and be carried away, if it is convenient, send us a robbery, and send a comrade to follow the three of us." ”

Lei Jian no longer implemented the injuries of the three seriously wounded, and ordered them for their safety: "Vice President Zhang Guanghua and Nurse Liu of Doctor Ma will stay, and send another soldier to protect the three wounded, ready to transfer at any time." ”

"No, I, Zhang Guanghua, am your attending doctor, and Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region left me behind, mainly to treat you Regiment Commander Lei, without Commander Nie's order, I can't leave you."

Lei Jian was no longer entangled with Zhang Guanghua, and Wang Xiaoliang, who heard the gunshots and ran back with two squad soldiers, rushed to Lei Jian's side and asked eagerly: "Commander Lei, how could there be fierce gunfire in the tunnel?" ”

"Don't be nervous, stay put, wait for Comrade Wang Ziming to understand the situation clearly before making the next deployment, you will immediately lead the guard platoon to replenish weapons and ammunition, and do a good job of fighting the hardest battle in the tunnel." After Lei Jian gave the order, he leaned weakly on Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao.

Wang Ziming received the order from the thunder sword and rushed out, and desperately pounced along the pit to the place where fierce gunfire exploded in front.

Under the flickering reflection of the bullet flames, he saw a dozen black shadows lying on the ground in front of the tunnel, and they were quickly crawling towards him.

When the first black shadow was about to crawl to Wang Ziming's side, Wang Ziming reached out and dragged him back violently, throwing him into the pit that turned the corner.

More than a dozen figures hid into the bend of the tunnel one after another, and this was the only way to safely avoid the range of the devil's machine gun.

Wang Ziming said in the dark shadow: "I am Wang Ziming, the Minister of Enemy Work of the Fuping County Party Committee, on the order of Regiment Commander Lei, to find your Feng Guang platoon commander to understand the situation, tell me quickly, where is Feng Guang?" Why do little devils appear in the pit? ”

A dark shadow approached Wang Ziming and shouted: "Minister Wang, I'm Feng Guang, I have an important situation to report to Commander Lei, please keep an eye on the enemy's movements here, and I'll return immediately." ”

Feng Guang reported everything that happened to Lei Jian, Lei Jian frowned and thought for less than a minute, and ordered Wang Xiaoliang: "Deputy Commander Wang, you rush over immediately, find out the enemy's movements, and prepare for the battle to block the enemy from entering the tunnel." ”

Lei Jian then ordered: "Feng Guang led the second squad to replenish enough weapons and ammunition to fight the enemy in the first line of defense, and must not retreat without an order." Li Daoming, deputy platoon commander of the guard platoon, was ordered to lead the third squad to fortify the bend of the tunnel ten meters away from the second squad, and once the second squad led by Feng Guang retreated, it should be covered by fire.

Order Chu Shaopeng, the leader of the first squad, to prepare sufficient weapons and ammunition as a reserve for tunnel operations, and to listen to the command at any time. ”

After Lei Jian gave the order, he said to Lao Sun: "Lao Sun, I don't care what position you are or which unit you belong to, now we are all wounded and sick people staying in the tunnel to hide, and now the tunnel is in danger, I am pushed by everyone to be the commander of this rear operation, then I am not welcome under special circumstances."

Lao Sun, you three seriously wounded soldiers must be mentally prepared, the tunnel has been discovered by the enemy, the Japanese commander will spare no effort to put the Eighth Route Army hidden inside to death, according to this dangerous situation, I want to ask you to be responsible for the safety of your three seriously wounded, and wait for the transfer order at any time, is it okay? ”

"Commander Lei, you are too polite, I will resolutely carry out any orders you give, and ensure the completion of the task of protecting the safety of the seriously wounded, if necessary, we can completely use guns to fight the enemy." Lao Sun replied sincerely and firmly.

Lei Jian pleaded with Zhang Guanghua who was holding him: "Vice President Zhang, I ask to go to the front to see it for myself, and according to the enemy's situation, immediately deploy the tunnel blocking battle, you and Chun Tao can accompany me, so that you can rest assured." ”

Zhang Guanghua knew that the tunnel was now in very danger, but she didn't dare to promise Lei Jian to go directly to the front line, once the old injury recurred and new injuries were added, Lei Jian would definitely die.

She also said sincerely: "Commander Lei, I know that the situation in the tunnel is very serious, but I bear the responsibility of protecting your life, if you have three longs and two shorts, don't say that I have one Zhang Guanghua, even ten Zhang Guanghua cannot replace your Lei Regiment Commander's ...... in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region." ”

"Don't say that, life and death are only once for anyone, whose life is very important, and they will be in different positions, making sacrifices to kill little devils, now my Lei Jian must stand on the front line, only by understanding the enemy's situation can we make accurate judgments, and give orders without blindness, in order to protect the lives of all comrades in the tunnel, Vice President Zhang, you should first consider this issue, and it is the top priority."

Zhang Guanghua was shaken by Lei Jian's request and rhetoric, she looked at Lei Jian's angular and cold expression, knowing the seriousness of the problem, she nodded in agreement, but made a request: "Commander Lei, you can go to the front line of the gunfire to learn about the battle situation, but you must listen to me." ”

"Okay, as long as my Thunder Sword can come to the front line in person, I will listen to you for everything."

Zhang Guanghua shouted to the soldiers standing not far away: "You four come here, Commander Lei, who is carrying the stretcher, must obey my command during the operation." ”

Lei Jian was forced to lie on a stretcher by Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao, and the four soldiers carried Lei Jian along the pit and quickly walked towards the front of the gunshot.

After turning a few corners, the sound of gunfire became clearer and clearer, and Lei Jian and a few people were suddenly blocked by the soldiers in front of them while they were marching, and Li Daoming, who was blocking the enemy in the second line of defense, shouted loudly: "You carried a stretcher to the front and walked over with fierce gunfire, are you looking for death?" Go back. ”

Lei Jian leaned over from the stretcher, and said in a small but majestic voice: "Is it Li Daoming, the deputy platoon commander of the guard platoon?" I'm Lei Jian, please let me go immediately, I'm going to the front to check the enemy's situation, hurry up, don't waste time. ”

As soon as Li Daoming heard that it was the commander of their only regiment who was carrying on the stretcher, this tough guy squeezed in front of him, almost crying and pleading: "Commander Lei, the enemy's machine gun in front is blocking the tunnel, and it will be too dangerous for you to go any further, I, Li Daoming and the soldiers of the guard platoon, for your safety, please go back quickly, okay?" ”

"It's not good, don't get in the way, let it go quickly, it's an order." Lei Jian said fiercely.

A short distance ahead was the second squad of the guard platoon deployed in the first line of defense, and in order not to be discovered by the enemy, they did not dare to light the lamp, and hid in the dark in the tunnel.

Wang Xiaoliang heard the chaotic footsteps coming from the tunnel, not like the footsteps of the soldiers of the army, he squatted on the ground vigilantly, holding a gun and whispering to the soldiers around him: "A wave of people came from the tunnel, I don't know the enemy or me, prepare for battle." ”

Lei Jian saw that he had turned a corner, and he said to Zhang Guanghua: "The front is the fortified place of the second class, and the black hand in the tunnel can't see the five fingers, let's suddenly appear and don't make a misunderstanding, you shout to the front, tell Wang Xiaoliang, and say that I Lei Jian is here." ”

Wang Xiaoliang, who was in a high degree of nervousness, suddenly heard a shout from the chaotic footsteps: "Xiaoliang, Xiaoliang, I am Guanghua, Commander Lei is here in person, don't be nervous." ”

"Guanghua, you are such a bastard, how can you lift Regiment Leader Lei to the most dangerous position? Quickly carry Captain Lei back. Wang Xiaoliang stood up nervously and stumbled up in the dark.

Lei Jian heard the footsteps running over, and he shouted in a low voice: "Wang Xiaoliang, stand on the spot and don't move, don't run over and bump into each other and hurt your own people." ”

Wang Xiaoliang is not worried about Lei Jian, how can he listen to it? When he touched a person, he touched a place where he shouldn't have touched, only to hear a female voice shouting in a low voice: "Xiaoliang, where are your hands stretched, put them away." ”

Just as Wang Xiaoliang retracted his hand and blocked the front to persuade Lei Jian to go back, the sudden burst of gunfire suddenly stopped, and the tunnel was instantly quiet in the dark.
