Lei Jian led the warriors to leave, when he heard someone behind him shouting, 'I'm looking for your ......', and suddenly the heavy voice shouted: "Iron lock, you bastard, don't look for trouble, hurry up and go back to the house." ”

In fact, the figure with a strong accent, when he heard Lei Jian say, 'A man named Tiesuo Half-Size, who answered us, jumped into the village', he had already concluded that this group of people should be the real Eighth Route Army.

He, who was tossed by the little devils in the village stronghold, was worried all day long, holding the mentality that more things are better than less, and he obviously heard his eyebrows, but he didn't dare to boldly explain, seeing the Eighth Route Army risking his life and walking out of their house like this.

But he didn't expect that when this wave of people was about to leave, the second iron lock actually stopped them and said, 'I want to find you', which frightened him and hurriedly reprimanded.

This black shadow named Tie Niu pushed away the hand that was holding his arm, walked quickly to the courtyard, looked at the dozen or so black shadows that turned around, and asked boldly: "Who is the Eighth Route official here, I want to find him something to say." ”

When Lei Jian heard the black shadow with a heavy voice, he shouted 'iron lock' in a hurry, he turned his head sharply, looked at the black shadow who walked out of the hall, and wanted to find the eight-way official, Lei Jian hurried up to meet it, for fear of frightening the black shadow, and there were still three steps to stand still from the black shadow.

He said excitedly: "I am the Eighth Route Officer you are looking for, my name is Lei Jian, and I am the commander of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army Jinchaji Military Region, are you really the company commander of our reconnaissance company and jumped into the iron lock of the village?" ”

"Yes, the iron lock you are talking about is me, and I am the iron lock that took your people to the village."

Lei Jian rushed forward three steps, grabbed the iron lock tightly and asked: "Brother Iron Lock, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you as soon as I entered the village, tell me quickly, where are our people now?" ”

Tie Suo touched the back of his head in the night, and said embarrassedly: "Commander Lei, are you really an eight-way official?" But when you asked me where they were, I really didn't know, I only heard the company commander ask me if there was an underground anti-Japanese organization in the village, and I told him that the village was ....... west. ”

"Iron locks, don't talk nonsense, nonsense will kill people." The dark shadow with a deep voice scolded again.

"Dad, why are you so timid today? I usually want to kill the little devil with a knife, but I become ...... in front of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"You know a fart, you hairy kid, you don't know how serious you are, do you know? If you talk nonsense and hurt people, won't you let me go back to the house? The father of the iron lock with a deep voice rushed out of the hall and pounced on the iron lock a few steps, grabbed his arm and dragged him home.

The iron lock shook off his father violently, and shouted to the black shadow who was still standing at the door of the hall: "Brother, come over and say something, you know more than me, the people of the Eighth Route want to find their people, you tell people quickly?" ”

The black shadow who was called 'brother' by the iron lock, walked up to Lei Jian and said: "I can see it, you are the real Eight Roads, my father was frightened by the little devils disguised as fake Eight Roads, hey, every day I mix with the murderous little devils in a village, I don't know when they die, it really makes them toss and can't live, my father is cautious, please don't be surprised by the officials of the Eighth Road." ”

Lei Jian listened to the father and son of the family, and between his words, the little devil in the village stronghold sketched the face of a vicious and brutal man, and he not only said with a heavy heart: "Uncle, two brothers, you have suffered.

This time, I was ordered by Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to lead the only regiment to pull out the Japanese strongholds stationed in the upper and lower horse posts, and rescue the villagers from suffering. ”

Tie Suo pulled his brother and said, "Brother, now you believe that these people standing in our yard are really eight roads, right?" Tell me what you know, and you can't say that you can help the Eighth Road. ”

Lei Jian didn't expect things to be so coincidental, even storytelling and singing can't happen to be such a coincidence, but some things are like this, in the midst of suffering and groping, you will suddenly see a glimmer of light, bringing you hope.

He was not in a hurry to ask, but asked Tiesuo his brother to dispel his concerns and take the initiative to speak out, so that he could tell the truth of the matter without concealment, so as not to hide a few words and find the root cause.

Tiesuo's brother saw that Lei Jian was not in a hurry to ask, and under the urging of Tiesuo, he took the initiative to say a little uncontrollably: "Commander Lei, I believe in you, tell you everything, I am a peripheral member of the underground anti-Japanese organization of Zoumayi, and I have not participated for a long time.

This time, my brother Tiesuo received the scouts of the Eighth Route Army to infiltrate the village, and the underground anti-Japanese organization took the initiative to contact and explained the situation of the Japanese stronghold. ”

Lei Jian raised eyebrows when he heard this, in order to reduce the danger in the village, it was inconvenient for them to move around at will, but they were anxious to find out the whereabouts of Qu Jiaming and the other four soldiers, so they had to ask tentatively: "Iron lock his brother...... ”

"Captain Lei, you can call me Iron Pillar."

"Okay, Comrade Tiezhu, we must now follow up with the comrades of the village reconnaissance to get in touch, I wonder if you can bring the person in charge of the underground anti-Japanese organization to your house, I want to have a good understanding with him, I don't know ...... the current situation of the Japanese army stronghold in the upper and lower horse posts, as well as the current situation of our scouts."

The iron lock didn't wait for Lei Jian to finish speaking, and immediately agreed to be the first to say: "Captain Lei, I'm the half-sized iron lock you're looking for, and now it's the right number, aren't you looking for someone?" I'll go out and I'll bring you people right away. ”

Without waiting for Lei Jian to agree, the iron lock ran to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door and was about to rush out.

Iron lock his father pounced out from behind, hugged the iron lock and scolded in a low voice: "You bastard, you are still a child, what do you know how important it is?" Besides, if you go to find someone, they will be able to believe that they will come with you? Come home for me, and ask your brother to find it, it's safer than you. ”

Lei Jian walked up to the iron lock and persuaded him: "Little brother, what your father said is right, or tell your brother to run, you haven't grown up yet, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with the enemy when you go out, go home quickly, let's wait at home, be obedient, go back quickly." ”

After a short time, Tie Zhu walked into the courtyard with two people, and saw five or six black shadows in the courtyard holding guns on guard, and the two black shadows who came with him asked in a low voice, "May I ask which one is the head of the thunder group?" ”

Lei Jian was in the house, and when he heard someone looking for him in the courtyard, he rushed out of the courtyard quickly and said to the two figures led by Tie Zhu: "I am Lei Jian, the only Lei Regiment Leader you are looking for." ”

One of the black shadows took a step forward, grabbed Lei Jian's hand tightly, and said, "The villagers are looking forward to you. As he spoke, he pulled the thunder sword to the root of the east wall and whispered: "Commander Lei, I am the minister of enemy work of the anti-Japanese government, my name is Zou Bentang, and I have information to report to you." ”

After a short time, Lei Jian walked to the middle of the courtyard, pointed to Zou Bentang and said to the soldiers who followed: "This is our comrade, and the Tiesuo family is also from the anti-Japanese underground organization.

Just now they provided information on the enemy's stronghold in the Zoumayi, and now the company commander Qu Jiaming led three soldiers to infiltrate the enemy's stronghold, and now they have not come out, they should be blocked inside, unable to get out, and now they will immediately return to the unit and prepare to attack the Zoumayi stronghold. ”

Lei Jian said to the others in the courtyard: "Thank you for the information, I will lead the guards to platoon in the village, and then touch the situation of the enemy stronghold, and I will leave the village immediately, you can rest assured, the Japanese stronghold will be pulled out soon, and the villagers will be given a sunny day to breathe." ”

At 3 o'clock in the morning of 12 October, Lei Jian, who had returned to the camp, immediately convened a military meeting at and above the battalion level, at which Lei Jian gave a briefing on the situation of the reconnaissance of the Japanese strongholds in the upper and lower horse posts, and made the following order in light of the strength of the troops and the allocation of firepower:

Ordered Wang Xiaoliang, deputy commander of the regiment, to lead the Zhang Tingyi battalion of the only regiment to break into the village from the outer wall of the horse post below, quickly clear the seven firepower points of the Japanese army in the village, surround the puppet army company, eliminate the puppet army, and then advance upwards to attack the Japanese stronghold from the front.

Ordered the second battalion of Song Zhida, seeing that the first battalion cleared the sentry of the enemy puppet army at the entrance of the lower horse post village, immediately assaulted into the village, cooperated with the first battalion from both flanks, and attacked the stronghold of the upper horse post.

The third battalion of Huang Yong was ordered, as a reserve, to be ready to join the battle at any time.

The fourth battalion of Song Chun was ordered to lie in ambush on the high ground northeast of the Shanggomayi stronghold, and once the Japanese army broke and fled, it was resolutely annihilated.

Zhao Sicong, the commander of the artillery company, was ordered to take advantage of the cover of the night to quickly move closer to the stronghold of the horse post, and to set up a good artillery position on the east side of the Japanese stronghold, and once he received the order to bombard the outer bunkers of the Japanese army at any cost, clear the passage for the first and second battalions to launch an attack on the enemy's stronghold from the front and both flanks.
