The Fujiwara brigade gathered troops and marched more carefully and quickly towards Liugong Town, at this time, the devil's greatest wish was to strive to reach Liugong Town as soon as possible, so as not to be repeatedly attacked by Tubalu on the road.

When the devil marched to the mountain beam area, the avant-garde troops had already entered the ambush circle of Zhang Ting's company, and Lei Jian suddenly issued an order: Hit me hard.

Light and heavy machine guns were blazing, sweeping towards the little devils marching in the crowd, the devil brigade was suddenly ambushed, and the captain of the Fujiwara brigade decisively ordered: "Order the troops to hide on the spot, shoot and counterattack, and without an order, you must not launch an attack on the Tubalu position." ”

Lei Jian found that the strength of a brigade of devils, facing the ambush of a company of the Eighth Route Army, actually gave up this great opportunity to encircle and annihilate, but only passively counterattacked, without any intention of attacking.

He saw through the trickery of the Fujiwara Brigade, the Japanese army, which was to contain the main force of the independent battalion, so as to wait for the reinforcement of the Japanese army, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop.

Lei Jian looked at his watch, he had been ambushing the Fujiwara Brigade for twenty minutes, and he must immediately withdraw from the battle to avoid entanglement with the enemy, causing the independent battalion to be surrounded.

He immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle, Wang Xiaoliang asked incomprehensibly: "Battalion Commander Lei, the little devils were beaten down by one of our companies, and they didn't dare to attack at all, let's just take this opportunity to eliminate some more little devils, but why did you give the order to retreat?" ”

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, in order to keep the main force of our independent battalion from being wiped out by the devils, we must withdraw from the battle immediately, don't be verbose, Zhang Ting led your company to quickly move closer to Santougu, and the cavalry company rushed down the mountain beam with me, one rushed back and forth, and immediately retreated to the woods in the southwest direction."

Lei Jian has found that the little devil who is lying on the spot and fighting back, the firepower is very low, he knows that the devil has given up the strong attack, first, the weapons and ammunition are insufficient, and the most important thing is to contain the independent battalion, buy time for the reinforcements of the Japanese army, and wait until the devil's large army gathers here, and then concentrate the superior forces, and take down the devil's eye thorn and his independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army in one go, so as to achieve the sinister goal of complete annihilation.

He ordered the cavalry to get on their horses and prepare for battle, and when Zhang Ting's company withdrew from the position, saw that the devils under the mountain beam had lost their target, and reorganized the team to march forward, Lei Jian brandished his saber and shouted: "Cavalry soldiers, kill the enemy group at full speed, kill one back and forth, and withdraw immediately." ”

More than forty horsemen swooped down from the mountain beam, brandished the sabers in their hands, and shouted loudly into the enemy group.

When Captain Fujiwara defeated the Yamaliang Dirt Eight Road, he immediately ordered the assembled troops to march forward quickly and leave this treacherous place. Suddenly, a cavalry team was killed from behind the mountain beam, and the little devil who was impacting had no power to resist, dodging the war horses that killed him, and desperately fled in all directions.

Lei Jian led the cavalry company, like a tiger that pounced into a flock of sheep, brandished a war knife, slashed and killed the little devils running back and forth, the little devils were extremely tired, and they were stabbed to death in the escape.

Captain Fujiwara saw the cavalry of the Dirt Eight Road, and came out from the front again, and was slashing and killing his Imperial soldiers, he shouted angrily: "Surround this Dirt Eight Road cavalry team, and the armored vehicle fire will strike and kill all the Dirt Eight Roads." ”

The devil army is very good at dealing with war horses, the soldiers of the front team escaped and slashed, ran out and lay down on the spot not far away, and shot the cavalry team that was about to shoot the thunder sword, and the devil brigade would soon encircle the cavalry company.

At this critical moment, the thunder sword let out a sharp roar, and the cavalry warriors received the order, slapped their horses and withdrew from the battle, rushed forward, and disappeared in a moment.

The Fujiwara brigade was attacked by the Eighth Route Army twice along the way, and at this time, the little devils were frightened and received orders to continue advancing.

Lei Jian led the cavalry team to rush into the woods in front of him, and said to Niu Dali, who was hiding here: "The devil's army is about to drive over, I guess that the reinforcements of the Kameda Wing will also arrive here in the shortest possible time, once it is found that from the direction of Liugong Town, the devil's reinforcements appear, even if it is a good ambush, you must give up immediately and evacuate quickly." ”

Niu Dali had never seen Lei Jian look forward to it so much, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Battalion Commander Lei, you are too careful, such a good opportunity, why would you give up so easily?" ”

"Deputy Battalion Commander Niu, the current weaponry and troop structure of our Eighth Route Army is the most difficult period, the survival or death of a unit is directly related to the overall situation of the entire Jiaodong Anti-Japanese War, I don't want the independent battalion that we have built up with great difficulty to be wiped out by the devil so easily.

This is the minimum bottom line for a commander to preserve his strength in order to fight again, and losing this bottom line, even if he achieves great results, and finally loses an anti-Japanese army, it will be irresponsible for this war and a foolish act of not cherishing the lives of soldiers. ”

Lei Jian seemed to be preaching Niu Dali, but as he spoke, his eyes kept scanning Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang who were standing beside him.

Niu Dali was still a little unconvinced and said: "Battalion Commander Lei, you said that the Kameda United will come to reinforce you, and you are not Kameda's chief of staff, don't you think this kind of arbitrary speculation is ridiculous?" ”

Lei Jian's face changed sharply when Niu Dali said, after all, he was still a half-old child, and sometimes his ability to bear it would be limited, he was about to get angry and clean up Niu Dali, and his powerful divine sense before crossing defeated this subconscious of borrowing his body.

He patted Niu Dali's shoulder and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Niu, you are still young, you have not experienced many battles, and your sense of war is not strong, you will know in a while that my analysis is right or wrong." ”

At this moment, several scouts in charge of reconnaissance returned and reported: "Report to Battalion Commander Lei, the Fujiwara Brigade coming from the direction of Aoshan is less than two miles away from us. ”

"Report to Battalion Commander Lei, three miles east of Liugong Town, I found nearly a brigade of devils, and quickly approached Liugong Town."

"Report, two large armies of devils have been found in the northeast of Liugong Town, one with a squadron of devils, and one with at least one brigade of Japanese troops, which is rapidly marching to this side."

After listening to the reports of these scouts, Lei Jian glanced at Niu Dali, Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang around him.

Niu Dali blushed and said embarrassedly: "Battalion Commander Lei, I, Niu Dali, have made the mistake of being impatient and not using my brain again, please don't be surprised, I will definitely use my brain in future battles, do more analysis in advance, and strive for more initiative in wartime." ”

Lei Jian looked at the several battalion and company commanders beside him, and said solemnly: "Order the troops to move immediately, and the cavalry team will stay and follow me." ”

"Battalion Commander Lei, our independent battalion now has thirteen companies, which is more than a regiment, to put it mildly, even the three regiments of our detachment together, the strength will not be much more than our independent battalion, let alone weapons and equipment."

Battalion Commander Lei listened to Niu Dali say so much, and he didn't understand what he was going to say, so he quickly interrupted and asked, "Deputy Battalion Commander Niu, hurry up and make it clear, you want to say it." ”

Niu Dali stammered in a hurry: "I mean such a large army, you, the battalion commander, don't lead the team, but always act alone with a cavalry, you said that if you have a good one, we have such a large independent battalion, what can we do?" ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander Lei, you can quickly transfer with the large troops, I, Wang Xiaoliang and Company Commander Li Gang, will definitely complete the combat mission according to your orders."

"You people, the reason why I boldly threw the troops to you is to exercise your ability to command the battle alone, I will not always follow you, you will leave me sooner or later and lead the troops to fight alone, okay, I don't have time to fight with you, immediately carry out the order."

As he spoke, Lei Jian jumped on his horse and shouted to the cow, "Execute the order immediately." He drew his saber sharply: "Soldiers of the cavalry, follow me." ”

The cavalry sent away the four companies of the independent battalion that were hiding in the woods, and Lei Jian took the lead in rushing out of the woods, beating his horse and galloping to the northeast.

After walking more than two miles, I found that a devil unit appeared in front of me, and the formation should be a devil squadron.

Lei Jian swung his sword and shouted: "Kill into the enemy group, don't fall in love, two rushes back and forth and retreat to the northwest immediately." ”

The devil troops, who were marching, suddenly noticed a yellow dragon appearing in front of them, and pounced in the blink of an eye.
