Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan were both arrested, and more than a dozen soldiers were about to be taken away, when Luo Jinchuan and the cadres in the regiment caught up.

Luo Jinchuan said to the soldiers who escorted Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan: "I'm sorry, these two soldiers are the new soldiers who just joined the Eighth Route Army in our independent regiment, and they are the guards of the head of the Lei regiment. ”

More than a dozen fighters looked at Luo Jinchuan and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Luo Jinchuan, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, can you please hand over these two soldiers to me?"

At this moment, Lei Jian, who was sitting in the room and had just spoken a few words to Commander Chen, heard an urgent report from Staff Officer Liu who ran in: "Report to Commander Chen, two soldiers of the Independent Regiment, rushing into the village with guns, are shouting frantically all over the street, saying that they want to rescue their Commander Lei." ”

After Commander Chen heard this, Huo's stood up, tightened his eyebrows and looked at Lei Jian, and said angrily: "Play the piano indiscriminately, Commander Lei, this is your soldier, you see how to deal with it." ”

As soon as Lei Jian heard that two soldiers rushed into the village where the chief lived with guns, he stood up angrily, and when he heard Commander Chen say this, his face turned purple, and he said very uncomfortably in his heart: "Commander Chen, my soldiers have made such an unforgivable mistake, and I, as the head of the regiment, have an unshirkable responsibility, you can rest assured, I will deal with these two bastards immediately, and then come back to accept the punishment of my superiors." ”

After Lei Jian finished speaking, he turned around and rushed out, Commander Chen was afraid that Lei Jian would suffer, so he shouted from behind: "Lei boy, don't be impulsive, these two soldiers have guns in their hands." ”

Commander Chen shouted and grabbed Staff Officer Liu, and ordered fiercely: "Take the guard platoon immediately, and you must protect Commander Lei." ”

Staff Officer Liu didn't expect that at this critical juncture, Commander Chen was not thinking about his personal safety, but about the safety of Lei Jian's life, and he rushed out of the courtyard and shouted: "The guard platoon urgently assembles to protect Commander Lei." ”

Lei Jian rushed out of the courtyard, and saw more than a dozen soldiers tying up Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, he was angry and aggrieved in his heart, because he, the two guards around him, had an impulse to do such an unforgivable bastard thing. can see his guards squatting on the ground by the soldiers, and the feeling of cutting like a knife in his heart is really unbearable.

He knew that the soldiers of the village saw the two bastards rushing in with their guns, and they were afraid of causing danger, and in order to protect the safety of the chief and the wounded and sick who lived in the village, it was absolutely necessary to take decisive measures, and the handling was very timely and commendable.

Lei Jian rushed to him and said to Luo Jinchuan and several battalion commanders: "I already have a general idea of the reckless things that these two bastards have done, Commissar Luo will take everyone back first, and I will handle this matter." ”

He said to Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang again: "You two wait for a while before leaving." ”

At this time, Commander Chen's guard platoon commander said to the dozen or so soldiers who were guarding Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan: "You guys do your business first, these two people will be handed over to Commander Lei to deal with, leave quickly." ”

Lei Jian looked at the guard platoon commander, nodded his thanks, turned around and slipped Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, who were squatting on the ground and still tied, and scolded in a low voice: "You two bastards, the face of the Fifth Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Mountain Column has made you two lose everything, I can't wait to drive you two out of the army." ”

Song Tiedan said aggrievedly: "Captain Lei, why did they arrest you?" Qu Jiaming and I felt that they were unfair to you like this, just to ask for an explanation, who knew that they would arrest us when they ran into the village, and tied us up. ”

"Shut up, shame on you, who says I'm caught? Even if I was censored by my superiors, it was also an organization's business, how could you rush into the village with a gun like this to make trouble? I think it's light to arrest you two, and if you two weren't honest at the time, you could be killed on the spot. ”

Qu Jiaming stiffened his neck and asked, "Commander Lei, you said that you didn't arrest you, why did you follow a platoon of Eighth Route Army soldiers around you and guard you with guns?" ”

"Bastard, isn't this a blessing to the two of you? Commander Chen was afraid that I was in danger and sent his guard platoon to protect me. ”

Lei Jian was very angry at Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan's reckless impulsiveness, and he said sternly to Wang Xiaoliang: "Bring these two bastards back and lock them up for three days." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, can Lei Jian not leave? At this time, the soldiers and villagers who gathered around him, I don't know what to point at, how can this be called a very face-saving Lei Jian? I had to leave this place quickly, so as not to be embarrassed on the streets.

Lei Jian walked into Commander Chen's courtyard with heavy steps, and shouted a report: "Report to Commander Chen, Lei Jian of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army Mountain Column is guilty of Jing pleading." ”

"Bastard stinky boy, come on in." Commander Chen asked what was going on, and then patted Lei Jian on the shoulder and said: "Commander Lei, your two guards are loyal to you, but this kind of reckless impulse will have a very bad impact in the eyes and hearts of the troops and villagers. ”

"Report to Commander Chen, I have sent someone to bring these two bastards back to the army and confine them for three days, in order to warn everyone, I will return to the army and sit with these two bastards to reflect on my mistakes." Lei Jian said from the bottom of his heart with a heavy heart.

Commander Chen shook his head and smiled: "Commander Lei, you have to punish your two guards, otherwise if you have a little emotion, you will come out with a gun, and then the troops will be chaotic?" As for you, you don't have time to do anything with them right now, and according to the next combat mission of the independent regiment I have deployed for you, you have to start the operation immediately. ”

"Yes, please rest assured, commander, I will go back to implement it immediately, however, I have to say it again, the 372nd Wing of the Japanese Army in the Dezhou Theater will be set up with a pontoon bridge on the east bank of the Yellow River to reinforce the Dezhou Theater, I think it should be in the next few days, it will enter Dezhou City, we don't have much time, as long as we seize the time to implement the operational deployment, we will not be attacked and counterattacked by the enemy's large forces."

"Commander Lei, what you said is very right, go back to the regiment immediately and arrange it, as for the matter we said, we will discuss it in detail after this battle is over." Commander Chen said and took Lei Jian's hand, suddenly let go, watched Lei Jian salute and turned to leave, he nodded and praised: "It's a little tiger general, it's just a little hot, given time, it must be a real 'thunder general' to kill the enemy." ”

Lei Jian returned to the regiment and immediately convened a meeting of cadres above the battalion and company level, at which he made a profound review of the bastard things done by Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, and proposed that after the deployment of the combat mission, he would sit in confinement with the two prisoners Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, so as to set an example.

Luo Jinchuan couldn't sit still and said: "Commander Lei, you have a task with Commander Chen, I am in charge of the regiment, and if there is such a problem, I should take responsibility, and the current task is arduous, not to mention that you don't have time, even if you have time, it shouldn't be you?" The head of the regiment has to take responsibility, I am the first person responsible, and I took the initiative to ask to be locked up with Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, reflect well, and warn others. ”

Lei Jian said solemnly: "The matter is up to me, no one should fight, I will now put forward several plans according to the latest operational deployment issued by Commander Chen of the Eastern Column, please seriously discuss it, express your own opinions, and try to make our next operational deployment more perfect." ”

After a short period of discussion, relative adjustments were made to the new operational deployment, and a resolution was finally formed.

According to the resolution of the meeting, Lei Jian issued a combat order for the next task: ordered the first company of the cavalry battalion, led by deputy commander Wang Xiaoliang, to leave the Peacock Valley to reconnoiter within fifty miles to the east, and once it was found that the 372nd Wing of the Japanese army that had appeared near Dezhou through the pontoon bridge of the Yellow River was approaching, he would come back and report immediately;

The second cavalry company, led by battalion commander Li Gang, was ordered to search in the east along the Fengzhuang Railway Station, stop ten miles away from the Dezhou Station, and leave a squad to reconnoiter back and forth within ten miles before and after.

ordered the second and third battalions of the independent battalion to be deployed in advance to hide near the Fengzhuang railway station and wait for the order to attack;

ordered the 1st Battalion to deploy along the No. 1 and No. 2 heights east of Fengzhuang on Deshi Road, and after receiving the order, it began to operate;

Dong Dayong, director of the Political Department, was ordered to lead several teams to go deep into the villages east of the Fengzhuang Railway Station on Deshi Road and near the railway line, and mobilize the masses to cooperate with our attack on Deshi Road.

After Lei Jian finished issuing tasks to each unit respectively, he ordered Niu Dali: "Deputy Regiment Commander Niu led a platoon of soldiers to carefully search the mountains on the mountains east of the Fengzhuang Railway Station in Peacock Valley, first, to remove the hidden dangers of the enemy and puppet army on the mountain, and second, to find the natural caves in the mountains near the railway line, and the deeper and more hidden the caves found, the better. ”

Luo Jinchuan took the initiative to ask: "Commander Lei, the first battalion has set up an ambush in the eastern section of Deshi Road, so leave it to me to command, once the Japanese 372nd Wing that crosses the Yellow River approaches the railway line where we set up an ambush, so as to deploy troops to block it, so as to better complete the attack on Deshi Road." ”
