With tears in his eyes, Wang Xiaoliang let go of the hand that was holding Li Gang tightly, and said in a choked voice: "Don't worry, if you want to die, it will be me Wang Xiaoliang who will die first, I don't need your kid to clean me up then, you have to take care, brother take care." ”

Separated, this separation, I don't know if they can see each other again in this life, at this time, I don't know if God knows or the earth knows, no one is sure.

Under the afterglow of the slowly setting sun, the enemy planes did not dare to continue their low-altitude reconnaissance at night, and when they flew over the woods again, they dropped a few bombs in the woods, circled and suddenly pulled up, and only in a few minutes disappeared the shadow of the enemy plane.

The woods were suddenly bombed by enemy planes, and the dust and shrapnel that the bombs exploded on the ground, and after the explosion, they quickly rose into the air, and fell quickly over the treetops.

Wang Xiaoliang waited for the enemy plane to fly away, the aftermath of the bomb explosion disappeared, and the dust and shrapnel settled, he stuck out his tongue and shouted: "My good boy, thanks to the unpredictable prophet of Regiment Commander Lei, the cavalry battalion was taken away, otherwise, these bombs dropped by the enemy plane will kill many crowded horses and soldiers." ”

He shouted loudly, afraid that Lei Jian, who was standing beside him, would not be able to hear it, and then shouted: "Commander Lei, you are really a god, how could you know that the enemy plane is going to bomb this forest where we are hiding this time, and you can calculate that it exploded in the center of the woods, and brought us to the edge of the woods to the south early, so that we escaped the bombing of the enemy plane's bombs, otherwise we would ......." ”

Wang Xiaoliang suddenly rushed to Lei Jian, pointed to his ear and shouted: "Commander Lei, my ears, my ears 'woo', I can't hear what you are saying, am I deafened by the devil's bomb?" ”

Lei Jian grabbed Wang Xiaoliang, and at the same time shouted to those soldiers who were staring at the big eyes and frightened: "You, you pinch your nose and puff out your eardrums hard, as long as the air flow is opened, you can hear it." ”

"Captain Lei, what did you say? Inaudible. Wang Xiaoliang shouted in panic.

Thunder Sword pinched his nose, then puffed it again, and shouted to the warriors who pointed at him, "Do as I do, and your ears will hear." ”

It took a lot of effort for the dozen or so fighters left behind to open their ears that were deafened by the bomb.

Wang Xiaoliang immediately shouted happily as soon as he opened his ears: "My ears are no longer deaf, okay, it's really good, grandma's, Captain Lei is really capable, his ears are deaf by bombs, there is a way to teach the soldiers to get through in the shortest possible time, I am really convinced." ”

He walked up to Lei Jian and asked, "Captain Lei, where did you learn this?" I'm so curious, how do you know so much, you, you're such an unpredictable and magical person. ”

"Don't say it's useless, as long as you have experienced a lot, you will understand a lot, how are the soldiers and war horses, are there any injuries?" Lei Jian asked as he glanced at the surrounding warriors and horses.

After checking it, there were no casualties among the soldiers and horses, and then the thunder sword was relieved.

Lei Jian looked at the vast land in the twilight, the crops in the vicinity were blowing in the wind, undulating from time to time, and in the night, it looked like the sea with the tide surging, the waves rose and fell, wave after wave, it looked as if the earth was fluctuating with it.

He looked into the distance again, and saw that the village in the distance was already full of smoke, and the people in the village were cooking in front of the stove. Do you have extra food at home?

Wang Xiaoliang leaned in and asked: "Commander Lei, the enemy plane has flown away, the enemy puppet army is sending a search team, I don't think I dare to come out at night, let's withdraw from the woods now, chase the large army, it shouldn't take long to meet with the main force of the independent regiment, you say?" ”

Lei Jian shook his head in the twilight and said: "Xiaoliang, I left a dozen cavalry soldiers, not just to wait for the enemy plane to make the last flight, nor to watch the enemy plane drop bombs and return to the nest, if it is for this, why should we hide here with our lives and wait for the enemy plane to bomb?" ”

"Then you mean ......."

"I don't mean to, I just have to wait until dawn tomorrow, wait until the independent regiment and cavalry battalion march quickly, let's contain the enemy planes, and strive for a large force to avoid the reconnaissance of the devil's planes, so that the independent regiment will safely break out of the encirclement and interception that the enemy may implement."

Lei Jian looked at the shadowy trees in the twilight, and then said: "In order for our independent regiment not to be exposed to the enemy's reconnaissance range during the march, we will play a trick with the enemy in this wood, lure and contain the enemy planes, and buy time for the independent regiment to march westward. ”

"Still don't understand." Wang Xiaoliang frowned and said.

Lei Jian didn't want to say too much, he said in a lazy tone: "Then don't understand it for the time being, and when you don't need me to say it tomorrow, you will understand everything." ”

At this time, the soldiers evaded the reconnaissance of enemy planes, and experienced the first bombing by enemy planes since joining the troops, and now that everything has passed, the excessive tension of body and mind has relaxed, and the stomach that is not fighting for anger has begun to growl, and the tip of the tongue has oozed hungry saliva from time to time, and it is really a little hungry and thirsty.

Qu Jiaming, who has been following Lei Jian since Mingwang Village, the son of a local farmer, opened the conversation with his upright temperament, and he pulled Lei Jian and asked, "Captain Lei, when are we going to eat?" This time has long been eaten at home. ”

When Lei Jian heard Qu Jiaming say this, he couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "You kid thinks that you should go back to your own kang at this time, wait for the old lady and daughter-in-law to bring the meal to the table, and wait for the start of eating, right?" ”

"Then when and where are we going to eat, we can't just wait until dawn hungry, right?" Qu Jiaming didn't expect that he had just participated in the Eighth Road and had just arrived in the dark, and he didn't know where to arrange this dinner, so he couldn't help but ask again in a little anxious.

Wang Xiaoliang said angrily: "How can you talk like a fart kid?" Commander Lei has a lot of things to think about at this time, you bear with it first, and the head of the regiment will have a way. ”

Originally, Wang Xiaoliang said this to comfort Qu Jiaming, a soldier who had just joined the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't expect to hear it in Lei Jian's ears, but it seemed that he, the deputy head of Wang, intended to bring up the matter of eating, so he was waiting for him to speak.

Lei Jian knew in his heart that the dry food they brought had been eaten, and they had not been replenished in time, and the battle tomorrow would be very dangerous, so he couldn't let the soldiers fight devils with him hungry, right? The problem of 'rumbling' in the stomach must be solved first.

He pulled Qu Jiaming in the night and asked in a low voice: "You are from this neighborhood, you said that in our neighborhood, which village has a better mass foundation and more wealthy households in the village?" ”

Qu Jiaming heard Lei Jian ask him this, and asked a little confused: "Commander, can you speak so that I can understand?" What kind of mass base, wealthy households, I really don't understand, you just talk to me about sweet potatoes, it's not difficult for you, right? ”

Lei Jian didn't expect that he was criticized by Qu Jiaming, he felt that sometimes he spoke too much, not only did these soldiers not understand, but it was also easy to arouse suspicion and expose his identity as a cross-over.

He didn't mean to be pretentious and pretentious, but he was used to saying it before the crossing, and it would be really hard to change it after a while.

Lei Jian smiled and patted Qu Jiaming beside him on the shoulder and asked again: "Jiaming, I mean, can you find a reliable family in this nearby village, help us cook some food and bring it into the woods, let's give people money, that's what it means." ”

Qu Jiaming seemed to think for a while in the night, patted his head and said: "There is a village three or four miles away from this forest, there is an aunt and relative in this village, my aunt was killed by a little devil, my aunt can't wait to follow, if she finds her, it should be very reliable, but, it's just that her family is too poor, I'm afraid she can't get so much food." ”

Lei Jian didn't speak after listening, and said to Wang Xiaoliang for a long time: "Xiaoliang, you have the experience of making food last time, or you take Qu Jiaming and two soldiers to his aunt's village as Jiaming said, and find a way to get some food, it's best to get more, as dry food for the next few days, as for how to act, you can do it yourself, however, one is not to expose the target, secretly act, and the other is to pay attention to safety, act." ”

Wang Xiaoliang took Qu Jiaming and two soldiers to leave the woods on foot, and quickly touched a village in the northeast, three or four miles away, that is, in more than 20 minutes, when he was close to the entrance of the village, Qu Jiaming said in a low voice: "Deputy Commander Wang, for safety, I will first touch into the village to explore the road, and then I will talk." ”

After Lei Jian waited for Wang Xiaoliang and them to leave, he ordered the cavalry soldiers who stayed behind to guard the perimeter, and he moved his arm, the pig-killing knife slid to the palm of his hand and the wrist was reversed, and the handle of the pig-killing knife was held in his hand, and he walked towards the depths of the woods, the soldiers didn't know what Lei Jian was going to do, and each soldier was highly nervous for their Lei Regiment Commander.
