Lei Jian was a little embarrassed to be praised by the head of the detachment and the heads of the regiments and the political commissar, and the half-grown child suddenly said a few words: "You are all big brothers, I am still a half-old child, but I have taken a step forward before, and when I arrive at the new battlefield, I will definitely remember my brothers' entrustment to my Lei Jian, and I Lei Jian will definitely lead the independent regiment to kill the little devils on the battlefield, and I will not embarrass the soldiers and civilians of Jiaodong, so you can listen to the good news." ”

"This stinky boy is really showing off."

"Hey, in wartime, if you can win more battles and capture more weapons and equipment of little devils, it will be awesome."

"I didn't expect this stinky boy, a half-grown child, to be able to fiddle with such a heroic and combative force, is this bastard still human? It's just a guy who was born to kill devils, it's too hard to figure out. ”

The heads of the regiments and the political commissars talked one after another.

Commander Wu listened to the private discussions of several regiment commanders and political commissars, and it was obvious that he was envious and jealous of Lei Jian and his independent regiment, not to mention them, even he Commander Wu and Gao Political Commissar saw the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment with more than 100 war horses, as well as these infantry battalions equipped by the Japanese army, they were very envious in their hearts.

Lei Jian saw that the time was not early, he wanted to hurry back to Santougu, and he was about to prepare to go to the western battlefield, he immediately saluted Commander Wu and Gao Political Commissar and asked, "May I ask what other instructions does the head of the detachment have?" ”

Political Commissar Gao took Lei Jian's hand and said again: "You stinky boy must take care of me, you must come back alive to see me and Commander Wu, and you old brothers, do you remember?" ”

Commander Wu also grabbed Lei Jian and said: "Lei Jian, your independent regiment is about to set off, I and Political Commissar Gao can't go to Santougu to say goodbye in person, let's break up here, remember Political Commissar Gao's words, we will wait for you to come back." ”

"Yes." Lei Jian replied with tears in his eyes: "Please rest assured, I will definitely come back alive to report to the chief, and please take care of the chief." ”

He saluted the commanders and political commissars of the three regiments who saw him off, shook hands and said: "Thank you for the love of the little brothers, my Lei Jian can fight side by side with several old brothers in my lifetime, it is our fate, goodbye, goodbye old brothers." ”

Lei Jian shouted in front of all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment: "The cavalry is on horseback, and the infantry is ready to set off immediately." ”

At this time, a warrior led a war horse, this war horse was covered with no miscellaneous hair, all white, the mane was smooth and shiny, the four hooves started lightly, the war horse raised its head and looked forward, walked to the thunder sword, stretched its head forward, touched the front chest of the thunder sword, and immediately retreated and stood still.

Lei Jian took the reins of the horse from the soldier's hand, walked to the left side of the war horse, and looked at Commander Wu, Gao Political Commissar and several regiment commanders and political commissars affectionately, and his body suddenly jumped, and in the blink of an eye, the person was already sitting firmly on the saddle.

No one expected that Lei Jian, a stinky boy, was so agile, even a circus clown, and he might not be able to do it so neatly and perfectly, which not only attracted a sigh from the cadres and soldiers who saw him off.

Lei Jian rode on his war horse and politely reported with a horizontal sword: "Report to Commander Wu, Political Commissar Gao, the cavalry battalion and the first infantry battalion of the Independent Regiment, the preparations are complete, please give the order to go." ”

"Let's go." Commander Wu and Political Commissar Gao gave orders at the same time.

Lei Jian raised his saber and ordered: "The first company of cavalry, as the vanguard, is searching for advance in the return march to Santougu. ”

"The second cavalry company serves as the escort of the two wings of the troops, protecting the marching safety of the first battalion of the troops along the way, and the third cavalry company is the rearguard force, alert to the sudden appearance of the enemy puppet army."

After Lei Jian gave the order, seeing that the cavalry soldiers had all mounted their horses, he hung up his saber, drew out the captured Japanese captain's command knife, and suddenly waved and shouted: "Let's go——。 ”

Wang Xiaoliang led the first cavalry company as the vanguard of the troops, and took the lead in setting off, the second cavalry company was divided into two wings, escorting the first battalion to leave the assembly area, and Li Gang led the third company as the rear guard, closely following behind the first infantry battalion, closely monitoring the enemy situation that might appear at any time behind.

After Lei Jian gave the order, he turned around and gave a cavalry salute on the war horse again, suddenly shed tears and waved goodbye, beat the horse to chase the team, and raised a large piece of dust and mist behind him to step on the ground, seeing that he left the five detachments, and the dust from the horses of the independent regiment slowly drifted away, and the shadow of the independent regiment was lost in front of him, Commander Wu and Gao Political Commissar could no longer control the tears, they had too much reluctance to this army, and they were even more worried about Lei Jian leaving them.

The cavalry battalion and the first infantry battalion of the independent regiment marched rapidly all the way, and did not encounter the enemy puppet army halfway through, and returned to Santougu at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Lei Jian didn't have time to rest, so he immediately convened a regimental headquarters meeting to urgently deploy the troops' march plan to the western battlefield.

He looked at Luo Jinchuan, Niu Dali, Wang Xiaoliang, and Dong Dayong, who were sitting around the small conference table, and said: "I have just returned from the detachment, and I have received an order from my superiors, ordering the independent regiment to leave Santougu within three or two days and go to the western battlefield, this will be a long-distance mobilization of troops, our independent regiment is already a contingent of more than 2,000 people, the reserves of weapons and ammunition are abundant, and light and heavy weapons move with the army, which will bring a great drag to the speed of the troops, and my opinion is ....... ”

"Commander Lei, this bit of family background of our independent regiment was snatched back from the devil by the soldiers with their blood and lives, you can't say that you will give it away, so the soldiers will be very dissatisfied."

"Yes, Commander Lei, what Deputy Regiment Commander Wang said makes sense, let's just do this, if we don't act with the troops, once we get on the march with the devil's army, without light and heavy weapons and enough weapons and ammunition to replenish, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through the enemy's encirclement and interception." Niu vigorously agreed with Wang Xiaoliang's opinion and said.

Lei Jian saw that these two bastards didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he shouted in a hurry, and just as he was about to speak, Luo Jinchuan said: "Niu Dali, Wang Xiaoliang, you two are now the deputy head of the regiment, why are you still so rough?" ”

He watched the two of them sit down, and then said, "Captain Lei hasn't finished his words yet, do you know what the head of the regiment said and how to arrange the next step?" ”

Niu Dali was the platoon commander of the first battalion, one company and one platoon of the old independent regiment of Luo Jinchuan, and when he saw that the old battalion commander was angry, he lowered his head with a red face and stopped talking.

Although Wang Xiaoliang is also a soldier of the first battalion and one company of the old independent regiment, he has always followed Lei Jian and participated in independent special tasks, and he has not really had much contact with Luo Jinchuan, he sat there and said in a low voice: "Lei Xiaozi said that a big man once said, 'Let people finish speaking, the sky can't fall', just said a few words, and he cleaned up his head and face, and let people not talk?" ”

Lei Jian heard that Wang Xiaoliang's mouth had been bald and dissatisfied, he looked at Wang Xiaoliang and asked, "Xiaoliang, do you think that Political Commissar Luo criticized you and was very wronged in your heart?" ”

"There is no grievance, I just want to say all the words in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable. Don't let me say forget it, can't I listen with my ears? ”

"No, you are now the deputy commander, at the meeting, in front of the soldiers, when you say that it is not right, what you should not say is not right, this is called finding the right position, cooperating up and down, uniting, in order to kill the enemy on the battlefield to have orders and prohibitions, and finally defeat the little devil, do you understand?." Lei Jian looked at Wang Xiaoliang and said angrily.

"Okay, okay, what do you say, can't I Wang Xiaoliang resolutely implement it? Why are you still teaching me with a red nose and a red face, this is not on the battlefield, as for it? ”

Lei Jian couldn't cry or laugh when he was hit by Wang Xiaoliang, he knew that Wang Xiaoliang's body problems were all caused by him, and he usually didn't care about him in a deep and shallow sentence, so that he was so out of tune at the meeting.

He thought that before the troops were mobilized in the next two or three days, it was necessary to strengthen the education of cadres and fighters in terms of the discipline of the troops, the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and the qualities that should be possessed in wartime and non-wartime, so that the independent regiment would be able to fight every battle with the greatest and fiercest combat effectiveness on the basis of unity and concern and on the condition of sorting out various relations on the way to the west and during the period of participating in the western campaign.

Lei Jian said: "At the military meeting of the regiment headquarters, I hope that all the regimental cadres should strengthen their own political and military, ideological self-discipline, and listen carefully and carefully at every military meeting held in a campaign, and think with their brains, and make our battle plan and action plan the most subtle every step. ”

"Commander Lei, are you going to hold a political and ideological education meeting today? If that's the case, I'm going to find a pen and paper to write it down, and keep it for future times so that I can grow better. Wang Xiaoliang said deliberately mischievously.
