After Lei Jian made the arrangement, he led the troops to surround the mansion of the richest man in Liugong Town, Liu Dadi, but he didn't expect this little devil's lackey and traitor to flee when he heard the news, except for some long-term workers and mothers-in-law who did chores for the Liu family, all the people of the Liu family ran away.

Niu Dali scolded angrily: "This old bastard, I didn't expect to be so cunning, catch him, I must have slaughtered this bastard with one sword." ”

Li Gang scolded: "It's all this traitor, gathering the maintenance team to sneak attack the patrol of my company, but I didn't expect that my soldiers did not die on the battlefield of killing devils, but fell under the guns of this group of mongrels, and simply lit a fire and burned down the mansion of the big landlord Liu. ”

Lei Jian saw that the soldiers were all angry, and he reassured: "We are the team of the Eighth Route Army, not the army of little devils, we will burn and loot when we enter the village, and besides, such a good house is filled with a lot of good things looted by the big landlord Liu, what a pity it is to burn it?" ”

He vigorously ordered the ox: "Since the big landlord Liu has escaped, his mule, horse and donkey cart should not be a small amount, you take the soldiers to load and pull away the things that can be used by the troops, and distribute the excess grain and farm tools, as well as the things used by the croppers, to the villagers in the surrounding villages, the floating wealth of the landlord is the blood and sweat of the villagers, and it cannot be left to this big landlord, act immediately." ”

The common people of the villages near Liugong Town, when they heard that they were going to share the floating wealth of the big landlord's family, happily rushed into the town, and for a while many ordinary people gathered in front of the gate of the big landlord Liu.

Lei Jian saw that the villagers were shouldering, carrying, and carrying, holding the things they had shared, and his face was smiling happily, and he said secretly: "The villagers have suffered. ”

At this time, a person walked up to Lei Jian and whispered: "Battalion Commander Lei, I received information from the district committee, a squadron of little devils rushed towards Liugong Town, and asked me to inform you to retreat quickly." ”

Lei Jian looked back, it was Sun Licheng of the teahouse shopkeeper who spoke, in order to protect the shopkeeper Sun, he immediately turned his head and turned his back on him and whispered: "I know, you leave quickly, there are many people here, once your identity is exposed, it will be very dangerous." ”

Ma Ming, the former leader of the county squadron who was standing beside Lei Jian and now the leader of the first company and three platoons of the independent battalion, said with a smile: "Old Sun, you are very hidden, what Battalion Commander Lei said is right, you quickly withdraw, and then report the situation of me and the county squadron to the district committee, and the soldiers and I are waiting for new instructions." ”

Shopkeeper Sun looked at other places and said: "Captain Ma, the district party committee instructed you to follow the new independent battalion of the five detachments, without further ado, I will go first." ”

Lei Jian learned that Captain Masao Kosaka led a squadron of Japanese troops to pounce on Rokunomiya Town, and he gave the most severe order, and in fifteen minutes, all the troops of the independent battalion were withdrawn from Rokunomiya Town.

The troops quickly withdrew from Liugong Town, Niu Dali led a new puppet army company, as well as two companies that had just been formed, plus the attack on Liugong Town, to eliminate the enemy puppet army, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the surrounding villages to join the army, and added a recruit company to escort several large trucks of captured military supplies, and quickly retreated to Heliu Village.

The independent battalion now has seven companies of troops, and the weapons and ammunition have been greatly supplemented from the enemy's puppet army and the town maintenance team, and the current independent battalion has been replaced with shotguns, two mortars, two heavy machine guns, and nine light machine guns.

On the way back, Lei Jian divided the first, second, and third companies into three echelons and retreated in stages.

Captain Masao Kosaka, got a telephone report from the captain of the devil squad stationed in Roknomiya Town at night, and before he could hear what was happening, the captain of the devil squad was eliminated by Lei Jian, and Lei Jian was on the phone, and he humiliated Masao Kosaka fiercely, and Masao Kosaka, who was angry, grabbed the phone and immediately reported to Captain Fujiwara Koji Nakasa.

Fujiwara Koji Nakasa reprimanded on the phone: "Xiaobanjun, your nonsense, wasn't that half-grown kid who was called the 'Thunder General' by the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Songzhuang and was killed by the tank fire of the Imperial Army?" He is still alive, Liugong Town is not the activity area of the Eighth Route Army, how could he appear in Liugong Town, dozens of miles away? ”

"Fujiwara-kun, it's true, it's this devil who killed the imperial army, who shouted my name Masao Kosaka on the phone, and humiliated me greatly. My request, immediately lead my squadron of the Imperial Imperial Army, attack Liugong Town, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Eighth Route Army to destroy them. ”

Captain Fujiwara Koji heard Masao Kosaka say this, and he had to believe that for the name Lei Jian, not to mention his brigade and wing, even in the brigade General Shusuke Hoshino, he was a half-haired child with a difficult name.

He took the microphone and asked Masao Kosaka: "Xiaobanjun, do you know how many troops of the Eighth Route Army did Lei Jian, a half-haired child, have, and what are their weapons and equipment?" Do you understand? ”

"Report to Dazuo, the maintenance chairman of Liugong Town is here with me, he reported that the Eighth Route Army sneak attacked Liugong Town, a total of less than one battalion of troops, I heard that it is a newly formed independent battalion, there are no heavy weapons, other weapons and ammunition are also very lacking, the combat effectiveness of the troops is low, attacking the imperial army squad, a battalion of strength of the Tubalu, has been fighting all night, if it is not for the Imperial Army's Imperial Army's Zhina Imperial Army, disarming and surrendering, this Tubalu team, there is no way to do my squad of imperial soldiers."

"Xiao Banjun, your biggest deficiency is arrogance, you must know that you are facing the cunning Thunder Sword, a half-haired child, once you are not careful, your squadron will all be shattered in the hands of this devil."

"Hai, I, Masao Kosaka, must learn a lesson and take it seriously, and I will quickly eliminate this independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army that has just been formed." Masao Kosaka swore a promise.

Fujiwara Koji is a cunning and cautious guy, since he joined the army, he has been adhering to the steady and steady fight, never rushing, especially in the absence of orders from the top, rarely take the initiative to attack, to fight to play a good result, so that in the past few years he has been promoted quickly, and has been jealous and dissatisfied with his subordinates.

Especially his schoolmate Masao Kosaka, who was cautious about Fujiwara Koji's cunning and cautious, did not dare to boldly take the initiative, and looked down on him, in his eyes, dealing with Lei Jian, the commander of the half-haired boy Tsuhachi, and Lei Jian's newly formed independent battalion with no combat effectiveness, Kosaka Masao didn't look at it at all.

With the approval of Captain Koji Fujiwara, he led two squads of Japanese troops to quickly rush towards Rokunomiya Town.

Kosaka Masao's squadron of devils is stationed more than twenty miles away from Liugong Town, and it takes more than two hours to march quickly, plus the road conditions are not good, it may take longer to reach Liugong Town, and by the time his squadron arrives, Lei Jian's independent battalion has already withdrawn.

When Lei Jian led the troops to retreat to three miles away from the three peaks of Ao Mountain, he ordered the three main companies to enter a forest and rest in place.

Wang Xiaoliang leaned over to Lei Jian's side and said in a low voice: "Battalion Commander Lei, you see that the weapons and ammunition of each company have been replenished, but our soldiers are not familiar with the performance of these weapons that have just arrived. ”

"You're right, we took the opportunity of the break to mobilize the veterans, hand in hand to help the new fighters, and ordered the new fighters to master the performance of the existing weapons in the troops and the correct way to use them within fifteen to twenty minutes."

Wang Xiaoliang laughed in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, this is called grinding the gun in the battle and not being happy." ”

Lei Jian grabbed Wang Xiaoliang and scolded in a low voice: "Nima is next door, if you are angry, you will call your brother-in-law, do you want to die?" I can tell you, deploy it immediately, just like you said to sharpen the gun in battle, but you must be bright and fast, so that you can pull out and win. ”

Wang Xiaoliang stood up, gathered several company commanders and platoon commanders, and conveyed Lei Jian's order, and the troops immediately began to pass on the help in a tense and orderly manner.

Lei Jian walked into a piece of high ground in the woods, glanced in the direction of Liugong Town with a telescope, put down the telescope after looking at it for a while, frowned and whispered: "Could it be that the devil's Osaka Masao squadron really dares to attack Liugong Town and take the initiative to fight with the independent battalion?" ”

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang walked over, saw Lei Jian frowning, and he didn't dare to jokingly ask, "Battalion Commander Lei, are you in trouble again?" You're rarely frowned. ”

"Yes, Xiaoliang, did you say that Masao Kosaka can really lead the devil squadron to attack us?"

"Battalion Commander Lei, I think this bastard must have done it, we have fought with this Kosaka Masao several times, and he was defeated by our men, I think this bastard must not be convinced, he may know that our current independent battalion is a team with no weapons and ammunition and low combat ability, so he dares to attack us with such fanfare."

"How? I didn't expect my Wang Xiaoliang, who only studied in the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadre School for a few months, and made such rapid progress, and now he analyzes the enemy's situation, and he is still the son of a hunter, he is simply a commander with rich combat experience, and it is really an uneducated army is a stupid army, and it is too well said. Lei Jian said with a smile.
