Lei Jian rushed to Wang Xiaoliang's side, the two and a half children hugged each other tightly, crying, crying, the sky was trembling, the Yellow River was roaring, the blood-stained brotherhood was deep, and they couldn't control crying together for a while.

Feng Dalong, who was standing on the side, saw the two half-grown children crying together, and asked Duan Zhigang who was wiping his tears in the night: "Hey, are Captain Lei and Deputy Head Wang related?" Why did the two of them cry to this point? ”

"Lao Feng, you don't understand, on the battlefield, this kind of comradeship forged with life and blood, the communication between them is not understandable to ordinary people, when you participate in a few battles, when the soldiers around you stand in front of you in front of you in order to cover you, and are shot by little devils, you will feel what a comrade-in-arms is, and what feelings are closer than a brother raised by your parents."

Lei Jian controlled his feelings, grabbed Wang Xiaoliang's shoulders with both hands and asked, "How many soldiers have you gathered on the shore here?" ”

"I'll find four wooden platoons and ten fighters, and the fighters of the other wooden platoons haven't been gathered together yet, and I don't know if there are any wooden platoons that land upstream." Wang Xiaoliang said with a heavy heart.

Lei Jian shook his head, and then said to the warrior standing on the shore: "Brothers, you can land safely, you have worked hard, immediately equip yourself, look downstream, once you encounter the enemy, don't panic, mainly hide and dodge, really solve it by force, and wait for my orders." ”

Wang Xiaoliang looked at the wooden rafts leaning against the river and asked, "Captain Lei, what to do with these wooden rafts?" ”

"Cut the rope that tied the wooden raft, push the trunk into the water, and let it drift, even if the devils downstream find it, they won't be able to guess where this trunk floated down for a while." Lei Jian commanded decisively.

A soldier beside him reluctantly said: "Commander Lei, don't, if we come back and keep it to cross the river, isn't it ready-made?" ”

"Hahaha, you stupid boy, I don't know if our troops can return to the fifth detachment in Jiaodong, just say that they can come back, they didn't defeat the little devil, do you know whether it's a year, two years or three years, if you don't come back in four years, do you say that this wooden platoon can still lean on the shore and wait for us? Hahaha, I can't turn a corner sometimes, you kid is dumber than me. ”

The wittiness of the thunder sword amused the soldiers who had only come ashore in the life-and-death struggle, and under the drive of the thunder sword, each warrior regained his vigorous spirit, searched downstream at full speed, and constantly found one or two wooden rafts on the shore.

Dozens of warriors searched downstream, and searched for more than three miles downstream, and Lei Jian ordered the search to stop.

Wang Xiaoliang asked: "Commander Lei, there are still twenty-one soldiers who have not been found, so don't you look for them anymore?" ”

"It's not that you can't look for it, it's that you can't look down any further, don't you see a faint shadow faintly downstream? I concluded that not far downstream was the pontoon bridge with the enemy's handle, and once we found that our vanguard company of nearly 100 people appeared, I would definitely transfer the devil troops on the shore to surround and annihilate our company with all our might. ”

Lei Jian is not arbitrary, he has calculated, from the shore to the shore, has been swept down by the roaring waves of the Yellow River for three or four miles, which is more than two miles downstream to search, and the distance from the downstream devil pontoon bridge is at most one or two miles, and then continue to search downstream, the target will definitely be exposed.

"The fighters who have already landed and those who have not landed, they can't find troops, will they."

"Brother Feng, I have made it very clear before setting off, if any soldier of the wooden platoon is not far from the enemy's pontoon bridge downstream, or docks downstream of the enemy's pontoon bridge, he must immediately move upstream, and once he loses contact with the large army, he will hide near the enemy's pontoon bridge, and when the vanguard company that docks on the shore launches a fire attack on the west bank of the enemy's pontoon bridge, he will return to the team immediately. Brother Feng, the troops of our Eighth Route Army not only have large-scale operations of concentrated operations, but also self-adjustment of individual soldiers fighting on their own.

You can rest assured that as long as there are soldiers on the shore who cannot contact the troops for the time being, they will adjust themselves in the shortest possible time and enter the battle at any time. ”

"My obedient, the troops of the Eighth Route Army are much more powerful than my bandits, even if they fall behind, they take care of each other, unlike bandits, when they encounter a life-and-death situation, they just hold their heads and run for their lives, and they take care of Tamar."

Just when Feng Dalong sighed, a few black shadows came up from the downstream, Lei Jian guessed that it was a soldier on the shore, but for the sake of safety, he ordered the soldier to lie down on the beach on the shore immediately, and said in a low voice: "Pay attention to concealment, don't alarm the figures coming downstream." ”

One of the several black shadows approaching from the downstream said, "Platoon Commander Song, did you say that Regiment Commander Lei and they have landed?" Why did we go up for almost a mile and only find a soldier in the platoon, if we continue to look upstream, what if we don't find it? ”

The platoon commander Song was the platoon commander of the first battalion and one company, and he said in a low voice: "Whether you can find it or not, continue to search upstream, if you go two or three miles further and still can't find a large force, let's hide according to Commander Lei's order, and when the battle on the west bank of the pontoon bridge starts, we can return to the team." ”

Lei Jian heard it, and the few black shadows that came up were the soldiers of his vanguard company, he whistled in a low voice, and the soldiers who were walking upstream in the dark suddenly heard a whistle coming from the upstream, and shouted in surprise: "Commander Lei, this is the whistle of Commander Lei, I heard it." ”

A few black shadows were running by the river, shouting with a choked voice as they ran: "Captain Lei, is it Captain Lei?" ”

"Don't run, stop quickly, my good brother, I finally crossed the Yellow River by force, once I fell into the water again and was swept away by the stormy waves, are you wronged?" Thunder Sword shouted in a low voice.

When the soldiers heard Lei Jian shouting 'my good brother' from the bottom of their hearts, they couldn't control their feelings anymore for the rest of their lives, and they actually cried and pounced.

Lei Jian stood up to catch the soldiers who rushed up, and said in a low voice: "Okay, we can break through the Yellow River alive, let's meet again on the west bank, it's really not easy, don't get excited, wipe away your tears, there are many brothers waiting for you here, sit down and take a breath, tired, right?" ”

A few words of heartfelt greetings, these soldiers who broke through the risk and finally survived to see their relatives actually howled and cried.

Frightened, Lei Jian scolded: "You rabbit cubs, you can't cry when you're excited?" On the embankment of the Yellow River above the tidal flat, there is a puppet army patrol, if this group of bastards hears it, our vanguard company will not drown in the Yellow River, but will all die under the guns of this group of puppet soldiers, okay, just cry twice and express it, I know your feelings, why don't I want to cry if I am happy? ”

When the mood of the fighters stabilized, Lei Jian ordered to climb the embankment immediately and quickly and covertly approach the enemy's pontoon position downstream.

After Lei Jian gave the order, when he approached the embankment along the river beach and wanted to climb up, he found that the embankment was washed by the roaring waves of the Yellow River for a long time, like a cliff, and it was slippery and there was no place to catch it.

This is difficult for Lei Jian, his vanguard company gathered more than 80 people, once before dawn, can not climb the embankment, always walking along the tidal flats of the river, will be discovered by the patrolling enemy puppet army, not to mention solving the devil position on the west bank of the pontoon bridge, even this company, it is difficult to protect under the enemy's fire.

Lei Jian's head was sweating profusely in a hurry, and he ordered the warriors beside him: "Find a place to climb the embankment immediately." ”

Wang Xiaoliang also asked anxiously: "Captain Lei, do we want to climb up the ladder, do you think it's okay?" ”

"I visually inspected this section of the river, from the river beach to the embankment, at least nearly two zhang, too high from the river beach, this method will not work, quickly find a slightly lower embankment, this is the only way."

Feng Dalong heard Lei Jian say this, this bandit who had been begging for a living on the blade, he was moved and said embarrassedly: "Captain Lei, I, I also have a deflated sheepskin raft on me, let's find a way to inflate the sheepskin raft, find a few tree trunks that have not been washed down by the river, tie them into ladders, and carry the rushed sheepskin raft on the ladder, I think we should be able to climb the embankment above." ”

Lei Jian didn't expect Feng Dalong to be so careful, and he immediately agreed with the order: "Quickly follow Brother Feng's method, everyone will work together to find the stump and tie a few more ladders." ”

It didn't take long for the warriors to find a few stumps, quickly tie them into ladders, and several people took turns to inflate the sheepskin raft, so that their mouths were swollen, and they did not inflate the sheepskin raft.
