Chapter 399: Departure on a Rainy Night (2)
Lei Jian has been standing on the boulder, standing in the mountains, with the flow of the wind, his mind is constantly changing the picture before the crossing, his consciousness is almost out of his body, when there is a slight footstep behind him, this commander who is sleeping with high vigilance, is not even a little alert.
A pair of warm big hands put on Lei Jian's shoulders from behind, and whispered: "Captain Lei, it's almost dawn, you should close your eyes and rest for a while, and ...... tomorrow." ”
Lei Jian turned around violently, threw himself into the arms of the person behind him, and cried, frightening Luo Jinchuan behind him, hugged him tightly and asked, "Lei Jian, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Woo woo, woo woo, I miss my mom, I think of many, many people."
Luo Jinchuan was made so troubled by Lei Jian's half-grown child that he couldn't cry or laugh.
He didn't expect that this brave and resolute, witty and arrogant on the battlefield, the 'devil who killed the imperial army' in the eyes of the devil, and the 'thunder general' who was spread in the base, would be about to set off in the army, and everything would be pressed on his body, and he would actually suppress this half-grown child to cry, crying like a fart baby who has not grown up, and shouting 'I miss my mother', which is too unexpected for Luo Jinchuan.
In a short time, Lei Jian's consciousness overcame his own weakness, he raised his head, suddenly broke free of Luo Jinchuan, who hugged him tightly, wiped the tears on his face, and said with a playful and honest statement: "The pressure is too great for a while, I want to relax myself, I didn't expect to ask Commissar Luo to see the joke, now it's okay." ”
He looked at his watch, there was still more than an hour before three o'clock in the morning, took Luo Jinchuan's hand and said, "Political commissar, you haven't slept well, have you?" ”
"Yes, I have no idea what will happen to the long-distance westward march of this large army, more than 1,000 kilometers, and once this major battle in the entire western battlefield is delayed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for both of us to explain."
"No, there is still a month before the large-scale 'Hundred Regiments Battle' begins, and no matter how difficult we are on the road, we won't be able to walk even fifty or sixty miles every day, right?"
"Commander Lei, do you expect that this road is likely to be surrounded and intercepted by the enemy puppet army? If you delay three or five days in one place, it is really bad to say that it will delay the trip and delay major events. ”
"Yes, my Lei Jian has never led soldiers to participate in such a long training, this suddenly with a large army of reinforced regiments, and light and heavy weapons and provisions, the marching speed must be very slow, it seems to be a month's journey, but I don't know what unexpected situations will occur on the way when I really walk."
Lei Jian said this, looked at the starry sky, suddenly became black and oppressive, it was really a bit of a dark cloud overwhelmed feeling, he realized that it might be raining, in order to be able to arrive at the assembly place on time, he said decisively: "Political commissar, it's going to rain, we have to set off in advance, and every hour of time we fight forward, we will have a little more room on the road." ”
"You haven't closed your eyes all night, can you do it?"
"Don't worry, Commissar Luo, I'm still young, and my shortcomings are not a big deal, if you agree, let's gather the troops immediately and set off now."
Luo Jinchuan nodded and said, "Okay, you can give the order." ”
The troops urgently assembled, and in less than half an hour, all the commanders and fighters of the independent regiment stood in line on the halfway slope in front of the cave entrance.
Lei Jian stood on the big stone where he spoke during the day, and he couldn't see clearly the soldiers standing in front of him in the dark, and he said sonorously and forcefully: "Comrades, we have a long way to go, the task is heavy, and the time is tight.
We may have to march long distances for a month, in order to avoid the enemy's encirclement and interception, we may often march at night, today is the first day, and it is also the darkest hour before dawn, and now the sky is covered with dark clouds, which is just the opportunity to train the troops to adapt to night operations as soon as possible.
I look at the weather, it should rain soon, and each of our fighters has a raincoat and rain cloth for the captured little devils, so prepare in advance. ”
When Lei Jian said this, he shouted loudly: "Deputy Head Wang Xiaoliang." ”
"Here." A dark shadow ran up to Lei Jian and stood up and saluted in reply.
"I order, you lead a company of cavalry, closely monitor the enemy's movements on the way on the march, and set off."
"Yes." Wang Xiaoliang saluted and turned to leave.
The independent regiment began to move, the war horses neighed, the horses' hooves were broken, and the soldiers supported each other to leave the Santougu base camp along the mountain road down the mountain in the drizzle, and walked into the wind and rain without hesitation.
Lei Jian said to Dong Dayong, the political department in charge of the final inspection and cleaning up the debris in the cave: "Director Dong, is everything in accordance with the order issued by the regiment headquarters?" ”
"Report to Regiment Commander Lei, I have already handed over to the fifth detachment of the Eighth Route Army's mountain column and a platoon that came here, please rest assured, everything is arranged."
"That's good, you hurry up and keep up with the troops, but I can tell you, you have the heaviest burden on your body along the way, especially when you encounter the enemy on the march, there will be casualties, you have to take care of the wounded and sick, and you can't slow down the march of the large army, understand?"
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."
Lei Jian watched Dong Dayong run away, chasing the large army that had already walked out of the cave, and soon disappeared into the dark rainforest, he wiped the rain on his face, buttoned the hat of the raincoat on his head, took the reins handed to him by the guard, groped for the horse's back, and suddenly jumped up and sat firmly on the saddle.
A small sound of horses' hooves left the entrance of the Santougu cave, at this time in the Santougu cave, only a platoon of soldiers sent by the detachment to take over remained, in this newly established independent regiment base, the lively scene of people shouting horses and shouting at ordinary times, I don't know when it can appear again.
Lei Jian rode on a war horse, and quickly caught up with the tail team of the large army marching on foot, the second cavalry company responsible for the safety of the tail team of the large army, and saw that more than a dozen people from Lei Jian rushed up, and a war horse stopped, and when Lei Jian and they arrived, he asked in a low voice: "Has Commander Lei followed?" ”
"Li Gang, what's wrong with me?"
"Captain Lei, I ......."
Lei Jian said impatiently in the rain: "Battalion Commander Li, let's march in the rain at night, if you have something to say, be simple and clear, don't stumble." ”
Li Gang's heart sank, and he said regardless of it: "Commander Lei, you don't have a specific task to lead the team, do you want to walk in front of the team again, take the risk of taking a company of cavalry, and clear the obstacles on the road for the troops?" I have an opinion about you, such a large army has been handed over to you, and the task is heavy, so you should be protected in the middle of the army, and you must not ....... ”
"Malegobi, can you say something auspicious? The little old man hasn't lived enough, and if he doesn't defeat the little devil, I can't die with my thunder sword, don't give me verbosity, you kid don't give me long-winded, you are the rear guard of the large army, the burden is very heavy, you have to pay attention to me, if there is anything wrong with your second cavalry company, I will ask you, do you hear? ”
Li Gang shook his head in the rainy night and replied: "Yes, hmph, I know that what I said is also in vain, but we are good brothers who have crawled out of the pile of dead people many times on the battlefield and are still alive, can I not worry about you?" ”
Lei Jian's heart was hot, and he felt that his words to Li Gang just now were too rude, not only did he laugh and scold: "You kid also want to give me a good life, look at our flesh and blood brothers, who has the longest lifespan, and can see the defeat of the little devil to liberate the whole of China, and see and see ......." ”
He couldn't tell everything he had experienced, so he could only say in a slippery voice: "You heard the best thing we wanted to see, didn't you?" Okay, don't grind and chirp, I want to rush to the troops of the cavalry company led by the deputy commander of the avant-garde Wang Xiaoliang, and march in a large army at night, none of us have any experience, and we must take care of it at any time. ”
Lei Jian said, tugged on the reins of the horse, and then clamped his legs, and the war horse flew past against the marching army.
Wang Xiaoliang saw more than a dozen war horses coming up from behind, and he knew that it must be Lei Jian, a stinky boy, who was not at ease, and rushed up with the relevant personnel who followed him.
He took the war horse to the side of the road, waited for a dozen black shadows behind him to catch up, and asked in a low voice: "Commander Lei, you really told me to guess correctly, it must be you, you just don't worry about me, it really makes my face dull." ”
"Bastard, it looks like I can't be with you anymore, as long as I'm with you, you're ashamed, right? Bastard calf. Lei Jian caught up and scolded in a low voice.
