Chapter 43: Hiding Eyes and Ears (Part 1)
Lei Jian has been hiding in the tank, sweating all over his busy work, and after inspection, the enemy tank that he risked back was not seriously damaged.
The armor-piercing shells fired by the Thunder Sword cannon only hit the tank from the side, and the internal damage was not great, and with the full cooperation of the logistics department of the independent regiment, the repair was basically able to be launched, but the tracks were broken and could not be moved, and the artillery and machine gun systems were intact.
The enemy tank was hit by a shell, and the little devils were violently bounced up and collided unconscious, and the high temperature of the artillery fire caused several little devils to suffocate inside.
In order not to be tied by tanks, Lei Jian delayed him from taking other military actions, and strengthened the training of two sets of tank operators, artillery, and machine guns to cooperate with the skills of launching attacks against the enemy.
Commander Fang sent a squad to protect the safety of the tank and Lei Jian, and Lei Jian was under the unified command of Lei Jian.
Thunder Sword easily got out of the tank, and he could now boldly leave to carry out the military operations he thought were feasible.
From dawn, the enemy's artillery fire began to carry out artillery strikes on the positions of the Independent Regiment, and after several rounds of artillery bombardment, the forward positions of the Independent Regiment were completely destroyed, and if the troops had not been withdrawn in time, the casualties would have been very heavy.
Less than five minutes before and after Lei Jian discovered the enemy's artillery fire, all the bombardment stopped, and he believed that his judgment was right.
He was doing work for a few soldiers, and he yelled in a very bad mood: "I'm not your company commander, your position is here, don't all follow me, do you know it?" ”
After much selection, Lei Jian selected two fighters from the squad that protected the tank and acted with him, while the others continued to protect the tank and tank crew.
A small team of nine people rode a war horse to leave the anti-Japanese base area, and when the head of the regiment knew that Lei Jian was leaving with people again, he shook his head and scolded: "This bastard boy doesn't know that he is afraid of death, it seems that he is going to find the sore spot of the little devil again, and I don't know what big move he is going to make this time." ”
Lei Jian led the team, rode through the hidden woods and crops, bypassed the enemy, and headed straight to the northwest.
Wang Xiaoliang patted the war horse, walked side by side with the thunder sword, and asked mysteriously, "Brother-in-law, where are we going?" The Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment fought very hard with the little devils, let's stay and help, how can you say that you can leave? ”
"Do you have itchy skin if you don't beat you up for a day? Who is your brother-in-law? If you scream nonsense again, I will whip you to death. ”
Lei Jian raised the horsewhip and was about to make a move, so frightened that Wang Xiaoliang's body was crooked on the horse's back, and he fled in the wilderness.
Niu Dali came up: "Lei boy, what mission are we going to perform this time?" If I say it, I know it in my heart, and I won't mumble nonsense. ”
"I can't say, I don't know if this can be done, just wait." To be honest, Lei Jian lacked confidence in carrying out a task that he was not sure of himself.
Along the way, Chun Tao didn't speak, just stared at the big round eyes, and glanced at this bold, careful, brave and resolute little Lei Jian from time to time, and liked this little brother in his heart.
Nine war horses have left the battle-filled position, in the eyes of the soldiers, Lei Jian is a deserter, he ran away, never cared about whether the anti-Japanese independent regiment was in danger, he did his own thing, without lingering on the verbose.
It had been a day since he came out, and Lei Jian led his warriors to walk back and forth on several highways, standing high on the hillside from time to time, looking at the end of the road.
The sun has turned to the west, and Lei Jian feels that this kind of waiting for the rabbit is not advisable, once the enemy passes through other roads, it will delay the good time, and it will not be able to contain the enemy at all.
He assigned several people, in groups of three, Niu Dali and Wang Xiaoliang each took two people, monitored on different roads leading to the anti-Japanese base areas, and once they found reinforcements from little devils or enemy baggage convoys, they would immediately report them.
Lei Jian took Chun Tao and another warrior and hid in a wooded highland, looking down on the road below the mountain.
He knew very well that the enemy would either continue to send additional troops to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese base areas, or drag down the strength of the anti-Japanese independent regiment, exhaust and cripple this team, and then eradicate the anti-Japanese base areas in one fell swoop.
In the second case, the enemy will inevitably send heavy troops to deliver weapons, ammunition and supplies to the front line, and if the enemy receives weapons, ammunition and military supplies, the independent regiment will not be spared the result of a crushing defeat in a bitter battle.
Lei Jian said to Chun Tao: "You eat some dry food, maybe you can really do it with the little devil, and you have to buy time even to catch your breath." ”
"I'm not hungry, brother, I can see that you are more important than me, so you should eat." Chun Tao smiled and pushed away the bag of dry food handed over by Lei Jian.
Lei Jian leaned against the tree and held a telescope, not daring to be negligent at all, staring at the highway leading to the anti-Japanese base area.
He knew in his heart that the weapons and ammunition depot of the little devils in the city had been blown up by him and his people, and it was impossible to encircle and suppress the troops in the anti-Japanese base areas from the city and transport military supplies from the city.
The enemy adopts a war of attrition to encircle and suppress the base areas, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition at the same time is certainly very large. In the first few rounds of artillery fire at dawn today, the enemy's artillery shells should not be too much, ammunition, food, and little devils are in urgent need of replenishment at present.
Thinking of this, Lei Jian fell asleep in a haze.
The soldier with the binoculars in his hand suddenly shook nervously, and just wanted to wake up Lei Jian, Chun Tao made a silent gesture.
She took the binoculars and saw that there was a large convoy of horses at the end of the road, and she did not dare not report such an important situation.
Chun Tao returned the binoculars to the warrior, and quietly walked to Lei Jian, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, looking at this little brother with a big baby face, the more she looked at it, the more distressed she became, she shook her head and whispered with tears in her eyes: "Brother, you are too young, you are really suffering." ”
Lei Jian felt that someone was staring at him, and he opened his eyes suddenly, causing Chun Tao to squat on the ground in fright.
"Sister Chuntao, what are you doing here, why are you still crying, homesick, right? When this battle is over, I will send you home. ”
"No, no, no, I found and found a lot of carriages coming from there, and I wanted to wake you up, but I couldn't bear it." Chun Tao stammered.
As soon as Lei Jian heard that a large number of carriages had come, he stood up and pushed Chun Tao away, rushed over and snatched the binoculars in the soldier's hand, and carefully observed back and forth.
While observing, he ordered the warrior: "You ride a horse and inform Niu Dali and Wang Xiaoliang, and immediately withdraw the warrior, and say that there is an urgent mission." ”
After a short time, the two reconnaissance teams returned, Niu Dali and Wang Xiaoliang hid beside Lei Jian, holding binoculars to look at the horse convoy coming from the other side of the road.
Niu Dali asked puzzledly: "Lei boy, why do you say that the devil doesn't use a car, and he has to use a carriage so slowly, is the devil commander sick?" ”
"You're sick, the little devil knows that the road leading to the anti-Japanese base inside is narrow, the car is not easy to pass, and it is a mountain road, and it is a horse-drawn carriage to transport military supplies, slow is slow, and it is much more convenient than reversing back and forth by car, do you understand?"
Wang Xiaoliang followed the thunder sword for a few days more than Niu Dali, and this kid was clever enough to see a little bit of the doorway, and said with a pout.
Lei Jian frowned and asked, "How do you say how to fight?" ”
"What's so difficult about this, we have enough weapons and ammunition, and it's easy to deal with some horse-drawn carts." Niu said proudly.
Wang Xiaoliang shook his head and said: "I don't think it will be so simple, the enemy's front line is in urgent need of weapons and ammunition replenishment, so many military supplies, it is impossible not to have a large number of little devils to protect it, just the nine of us, can we do it?" ”
Lei Jian saw that the enemy's horse convoy was getting closer and closer, and he could see clearly whether it was a horse or a donkey, but he couldn't figure out the strength and weapons of the little devil troops escorting the baggage, and the chances of winning this kind of battle were not very good.
Niu Dali suddenly shouted: "The devil's transport carriage has stopped. ”
Lei Jian also saw it, and doubts welled up in his heart, the enemy's baggage troops should cover people's eyes and ears and act quickly, and they should not be so grinding, as if they were looking at the situation, and they were slow to make people suspicious.
He beckoned to Wang Xiaoliang: "Follow me." Then he commanded the others: "Do a good job of concealment, and do not expose it." ”
The two horses rushed down the road and headed straight for the enemy's wagon baggage caravan.
When he arrived, Lei Jian found that there were no devils escorting military supplies, there was about a platoon of puppet soldiers, and Hang Erlang was sitting on the edge of the highway ditch.
A puppet army officer spotted two horses coming towards them, and shouted in a fuss: "Hurry up, pick up your guns and prepare for battle." ”
The two war horses rushed over without stopping, and the puppet army officer suddenly shouted: "Lizheng, it's two imperial soldiers, salute." ”
Lei Jian and Wang Xiaoliang, who were wearing devil uniforms, almost laughed when they saw the puppet army saluting in line.
Lei Jian frowned and asked, "What are you guys doing?" What's in the car? Say it. ”
The puppet army officer nodded and replied: "Report to Taijun, we are a platoon of the security brigade escorting military supplies, and these are urgently needed materials sent to the front line." ”
"Baga, the Imperial Army on the front line is fighting fiercely with the anti-Japanese team, and these things are urgently needed, why don't you hurry up, what do you mean?"
The platoon commander of the puppet army saw that Lei Jian, the Taijun, was angry, nodded and leaned over to Lei Jian, who was sitting on horseback, and said mysteriously: "Taijun, what we escort is all front-line general supplies, and we are ordered to slow down on the road, walk and stop." ”
As soon as Lei Jian heard the platoon commander of the puppet army say this, he said secretly in his heart: "Bastard, he was calculated by the cunning little devil." ”
He said to the platoon commander of the puppet army: "You must send the supplies to the front line safely, do you understand? ”
Lei Jian turned the horse's head in the puppet army's continuous 'hi, hi', and whipped the war horse fiercely, and the war horse flew up, with a cloud of smoke and dust behind him.
Returning to the place where the soldiers were hidden, Niu Dali first asked, "Lei boy, tell me how to fight?" ”
"Let's play a ball, we're fooled." Wang Xiaoliang jumped off the horse and said in a feeling of guilt.
Lei Jian ordered the two soldiers to immediately return to the other two road hiding points where they had originally set up surveillance, and closely observe all possible movements on the road.
The two warriors were ordered to hurry up, and after a while they disappeared.
Niu Dali held the binoculars and found that the horse convoy on the highway suddenly increased its speed, which was simply urging the horses to run fast.
Lei Jian frowned when he saw it, suspecting that the puppet platoon commander was not telling the truth, there must be a secret hidden here.
The convoy passed under the mountain where Lei Jian was hidden, and it seemed that the things on the galloping carriage were not heavy, otherwise the speed would not be so fast, and the horse-drawn carriage would not be so easy.
Lei Jian suddenly realized: Could it be that the cunning little devil deliberately released a trick to hide people's eyes and ears?
