After listening to the report of Chief of Staff Zhou Peng, Lei Jian ordered Zhang Ping, director of the Electrical Investigation Department: "Telegraph to the commander of the second battalion of the new independent infantry battalion of the first independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region that the original operational plan remains unchanged, and order the commander of the second battalion, Song Zhida, to arrive here by running within half an hour;
ordered Ma Mingshan, the political commissar of the regiment, led all departments directly under the regiment, under the escort of three battalions and one company, to stop the advance on the northern front of the highlands, and wait for the highland campaign to launch a general attack, and the Japanese 581st Wing gathered reinforcements on both wings, taking advantage of the weak deployment of the enemy's forces at a long distance, and was ordered to break through the blockade line and then continue to advance westward;
The commander of the third battalion, Huang Yong, was ordered to lead two companies to run and march in an hour and a half, no matter where he was at this time. β
After Lei Jian issued the order, he stressed again: "Director Zhang Ping, the wording of this order is more severe, which has aroused the attention of the commanders of all units and immediately implemented it. β
He ordered Qu Jiaming, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon: "You lead the reconnaissance platoon to patrol and reconnoiter within 30 miles east of the high ground, and report to me as soon as you find enemy reinforcements." β
Lei Jian turned his head and asked Wang Xiaoliang: "Are the two chariots ready?" How many mortars and how many heavy machine guns, shells, bullets, and grenades did you bring with you from the Japanese army in the occupied county town of Fudong? How many trucks and motorcycles are there? β
"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, two modified combat vehicles are ready, you ask for the rest, I will report to you, a truck is loaded with more than 30 mortars, nearly 100 boxes of shells, a truck is loaded with more than 50 heavy machine guns, no less than 100 boxes of bullets, as for the number of grenades, I really haven't counted, anyway, there are a lot of them, as well as light machine guns and I don't know how many brand-new 38 covers.
There are eight trucks you asked, all of which are still in good condition, and ten motorcycles, which are in good condition, and five barrels of oil. Wang Xiaoliang is like a treasure, and the number of weapons and ammunition reported is not known whether there is any water.
Lei Jian saw that Wang Xiaoliang was happy, his mouth was full of foam, and he said jokingly: "Hurry up and wipe the corners of your mouth, so that you are disgusting to death." β
Wang Xiaoliang said disapprerovingly: "Captain Lei, I said it happily for a while, and the corners of my mouth were a little ....... β
"Shut up, wipe it off and talk again, hahaha." Lei Jian deliberately provoked Wang Xiaoliang, as long as these two babies have a little time, they have to be happy for themselves.
Lei Jian was happy for less than five minutes, and immediately became serious, and asked Li Gang: "Deputy Regiment Commander Li, in this battle, the cavalry battalion is a very mobile pre-war force, and it can be regarded as a firefighting team, where the battle is the fiercest and most dangerous, it may rush to where it is, this elite will be handed over to you, in the entire campaign, only I can mobilize, no one has this right, do you understand?" β
"Yes, Li Gang absolutely obeys Commander Lei's orders."
The reason why Lei Jian ordered Li Gang so harshly, he knew very well in his heart that this time there was only one chance to launch a general attack on the high ground held by the enemy's 180th Division and the 581st Wing of the 19th Brigade with the New 7th Brigade and his regiment as the main force.
The position of each unit on the battlefield was precisely calculated and deployed by him, and there was no reserve to replenish the resources of the attacking troops, and he left in his hands only the most mobile cavalry battalion that he could mobilize, and he would not use this elite force until the most critical moment.
Time passed little by little, the sun was about to set, and the Song Brigade Commander who was waiting in the pre-war headquarters had not seen Lei Jian come back, and they were originally anxious, but at this time, a regiment commander standing outside and waiting rushed into the headquarters, and shouted in a loud voice: "What's the matter?" I just waited like this for hours, I don't believe it, if we don't take the initiative to attack, the little devil will automatically give up the high ground and make way for us.
Hmph, this Thunder Sword, who was also the commander-in-chief before the war, relied on a doll to command so many troops and such a big battle, isn't it too child's play? Brigadier Song, you ....... β
"Commander of the First Regiment, when will you change your temper? Lei Jian dared to assume the commander-in-chief in front of the battle, first, the East Column Commander Chen and the leaders of the new Seventh Brigade recognized, and second, this stinky boy does have this ability, often saying 'good food is not afraid of late', I guess Lei Jian has not given the order to attack until now, he must be making careful arrangements.
You give me back to the regiment and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, once the battle starts, do you know the battlefield discipline issued by Lei Jian at that time, I can tell you, don't let your kid make a mistake and lose your life in vain. Brigade Commander Song scolded and frightened and blasted a regiment of Regiment Commander Du back into the regiment.
When the sun was about to set in the west, the first, second, and third battalions of Lei Jian's newly formed first regiment were all in place, and Song Zhida, the commander of the second battalion, arrived in advance with an assault squad.
Lei Jian immediately convened a pre-war military meeting at and above the battalion level, briefly analyzed the enemy's situation, and emphatically emphasized that in joint operations with the big brother troops of the New Seventh Brigade, it is necessary to treat each other with sincerity, never allow awkwardness on the battlefield, and take breaking through the blockade line on the Devil's Heights as the overall situation, and go all out to engage the enemy.
He didn't give any orders, and at the last moment when the sun was about to set, Lei Jian took the deputy commander of the newly formed independent regiment and four battalion commanders to run to the front headquarters.
When Lei Jian saw that the commanders of the three regiments and a special service battalion of the New Seventh Brigade were in place, he said embarrassedly: "I've been waiting for a long time, I, Lei Jian, ......." β
"Commander-in-Chief Lei, don't come to these false things, you have to have real skills, hurry up and tell your battle plan and listen to it, if anything is not suitable, our regiment commanders and political commissars can still help you." A regimental leader shouted sarcastically.
Before the sky darkened, Lei Jian looked at the commander of the regiment with clear eyebrows through the bright light, and said unceremoniously: "Commander of the first regiment, I want to make one more statement to you, I am now the commander-in-chief in front of the battle, and the combat plan made is determined after careful study by the leaders of the new Seventh Brigade, as a regiment commander, you don't need to make any additions, and the most important thing for you at present is to prick up your ears and listen to my orders." β
The commanders at all levels of the New Seventh Brigade present couldn't help but tremble in their hearts when they heard Lei Jian say so domineering, they didn't expect that this baby commander would be so sharp and ruthless when he really gave the battle order.
Lei Jian walked up to Brigade Commander Song, and seeing that Brigade Commander Song was holding his stomach with his hands, he asked in a low voice, "Brigade Commander Song, is your stomach problem starting to make trouble again?" β
"Commander-in-Chief Lei, leave me alone, I can still hold on, you can give the order." Brigade Commander Song gritted his teeth and insisted.
Lei Jian was already tall, he stood between the group, he looked even more capable and majestic, and he said to the commanders at all levels in front of him: "Please automatically line up in two rows, I will announce the battle order soon." β
The commanders of the New Seventh Brigade and the Thunder Sword Regiment, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the New Seventh Brigade all stood in the front row, and the two deputy commanders of the Thunder Sword Regiment and several battalion commanders stood in the back row.
Lei Jian couldn't help but steal joy in his heart, but his face was very serious, his face was angular, this kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant, without the test of blood and fire and the tempering of various experiences, would not show that people would look at it and be in awe.
Everyone present was shocked by this baby, they had not personally fought with the thunder sword, but the legends they heard were like thunder, just seeing that this baby was the commander-in-chief, they were at the mercy of them, and the little self-esteem in their hearts was a little unacceptable, and they couldn't help revealing some abnormal words and deeds and actions.
But compared to the truth, these heroes on the anti-Japanese battlefield were selfless in their hearts and immediately laid down their confidence, obeyed the command, and fought bravely to kill the enemy.
Lei Jian didn't want to be verbose, let alone make any opening remarks, and gave an order with a cold tone and a serious face: order the new independent regiment and one battalion to be the main force of the Japanese 581st Wing to hold the high ground in this attack, and launch an attack from the front, with the new 7th Brigade and 1st Regiment as the second echelon;
Ordered two companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Independent Regiment to flank the enemy on both flanks, and the 2nd Regiment of the New 7th Brigade to be the second echelon of the two flanks;
After the general offensive campaign began, the newly organized 1st Independent Regiment and 3rd Battalion were ordered to take advantage of the enemy's weak strength on the enemy's right flank six or seven miles away to reinforce the high ground and weak troops, break through the enemy's blockade line, move quickly to the enemy's rear, and sneak attack the enemy's 581st Wing with the army's baggage, and use it if it can be used, once the situation forces it, blow up the enemy's baggage storage place, and launch an attack from behind, but do not force the attack, the main task is to contain the enemy's strength and firepower, cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to attack all units head-on, and strive to break through the enemy's highland blockade line;
Wang Xiaoliang, deputy commander of the newly formed independent regiment, was ordered to prepare 30 mortars and 50 heavy machine guns to shell the enemy's position at any time according to the position of the position we had deployed;
Ordered Chief of Staff Zhou Peng to take two chariots to carry out the most intense artillery bombardment flexibly and flexibly under the high ground according to the heavy firepower positions exposed by the Japanese army on the high ground, and to up in the shortest possible time; Ordered a new independent regiment ....... β
