Li Gang saw that Lao Sun was sitting on the stool very carelessly, looking at Lei Jian and Li Gang with an uncolored look, Li Gang frowned and said unceremoniously: "Lao Sun, can you please go out for a while, I have an important situation to report to Commander Lei, it is a little inconvenient for you to sit here, right?" ”

Lei Jian saw that Li Gang didn't give Lao Sun a good face, and his tone was not polite, and Lao Sun seemed to be a little embarrassed, Lei Jian deliberately 'haha' and smiled: "Commander Li, our only regiment has not yet entered Fuping City, Lao Sun is the chief of staff of the special operation team left in Fuping City, all big and small, Lao Sun has participated, Commander Li does not have to be taboo, Lao Sun is not an outsider, and has the right to study the next combat plan together." ”

Li Gang heard Lei Jian say this, although he was dissatisfied with Lao Sun in his heart, but he knew that when their Lei Regiment Commander held a military meeting, especially when the two only regiment commanders discussed major military operations together, he could tolerate Lao Sun to sit down and discuss together, which could see Lao Sun's status in Lei Jian's mind.

He no longer insisted on looking at Lei Jian and said: "Report to Regiment Commander Lei, just now I got a report from the reconnaissance platoon of the fourth battalion guarding the area of Qingshui Bridge that a large force of the Japanese army is rapidly approaching Qingshui Bridge, and I have called to ask for instructions on how to deal with it." ”

Lei Jian heard Li Gang's report that he had found a large Japanese army at Qingshui Bridge, moved from the diagnosis and treatment bed to the ground with a high spirit, stood up straight and said: "The large Japanese army found in the area of Qingshui Bridge should be the Matsumoto Wing of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, I didn't expect this devil wing to break through the blocking and containment of the Third Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region so quickly, and quickly move closer to Fuping City to reinforce the trapped Ikeda squadron. ”

Lao Sun also stood up at this time, and interjected: "Commander Lei, Commander Li, the Japanese Matsumoto Wing has almost reached the area around Qingshui Bridge, and it will march forcibly at a speed of twenty miles per hour, and without troops blocking it, it will march one hundred and sixty miles in about eight hours to reach Fuping City.

Once the Matsumoto Wing approaches, the Duyi Regiment will face an internal and external attack by a Japanese wing, which will bring great danger to the troops stationed in Fuping Castle. ”

Li Gang looked at Lao Sun and said secretly in his heart: "You use this kind of thing to say?" I'm here to report to Commander Lei, just to solve this problem, don't talk useless nonsense if you can't come up with a good idea, it sounds annoying. ”

Lei Jian felt disrespectful to Lao Sun at the dissatisfaction on Li Gang's face, he looked at Lao Sun and nodded: "Lao Sun, the question you raised is very important, we will immediately study how to deal with the Matsumoto United's rapid movement towards Fuping City, prepare for the battle in advance, and please also make good suggestions." ”

Li Gang didn't expect that Lei Jian, who usually encounters emergencies, can always come up with a feasible plan of action for the troops at the first time, what's wrong today? Not only did he not take the initiative to express his opinion, but instead asked for the opinions of the old grandson who didn't know the details, which made Li Gang unable to figure it out.

Lao Sun's expression towards Li Gang and his attitude towards him already felt the dissatisfaction in Li Gang's heart, but Lao Sun did not blame Li Gang, but was quite optimistic about Li Gang, who had just been appointed as the only group for a long time.

Judging from what we have learned, this Li Gang has performed an outstanding job in commanding operations and maintaining relations with soldiers, and he can grow into an excellent regimental commander even if he can't catch up with Lei Jian's command level even if he pat a horse.

In order to improve Li Gang's ability to listen to other people's opinions under special circumstances, he said unceremoniously: "Commander Li Gang, I don't have a preconceived idea to put forward my opinion, which is a sign of respect for you, the head of the regiment, please learn to handle all kinds of relationships in the future, and calm down at a critical moment, which will help you."

Although my grandson has not worked with you, he still has a say in the current form during the fall of Fuping City and the joint command of the special operations team behind enemy lines with the head of Lei Jian. ”

Li Gang was very uncomfortable with what Lao Sun said, his face kept changing colors, he really didn't know what kind of character this Lao Sun was, and he was ashamed to criticize him in front of Lei Jian, which made Li Gang not only not angry with the old Sun in front of him, but remembered what Lao Sun said in his heart, and looked at Lao Sun with a surprised look.

Lei Jian saw that Li Gang's facial expression changed from excitement to calm, and he praised with a smile: "I didn't expect to see Commander Li Gang for a few days, the quality of all aspects has improved so quickly, it's very good, and being able to listen to different opinions is progress."

Okay, now that the enemy is present, the three of us have basically reached a tacit understanding, and now we can directly express our opinions, I think it is better for Captain Li to talk about it first, what is not in place, I and Lao Sun will add it to you, there is no time, Commander Li will say it quickly. ”

Li Gang felt as if he was facing two old chiefs at this time, and his psychological activities were particularly intense, forcing himself to stabilize his emotions in three or two minutes, and politely looked at Lei Jian and Lao Sun and said: "Since Regiment Leader Lei and Comrade Lao Sun asked me to speak first, then I will express my opinions with an axe, and if I can't say anything, I will also ask Regiment Leader Lei and Lao Sun to give me advice." ”

"Yes, very good at talking, good attitude, say it boldly."

Lao Sun's tone sounded to Li Gang, like a big chief encouraging and spurring, speaking to his subordinates in an affirmative tone, and he couldn't help but glance at Lao Sun again, and he had a sense of awe for this mysterious comrade Lao Sun.

Li Gang also said pretentiously: "According to the reconnaissance platoon report and Commander Lei's analysis, the large Japanese army moving closer to Qingshuiqiao should be the Matsumoto Wing, and with the marching speed of the Matsumoto Wing, as Comrade Lao Sun said, if there is no blockade by our Eighth Route Army, the Matsumoto Wing will reach Fuping City within eight hours."

Although we arranged for Duan Zhiquan's second battalion to be stationed in Chujia Village to ensure the safety of Fuping City, once the Matsumoto Wing suddenly appeared in Chujia Village, which was fifteen kilometers away from Fuping City, there would definitely be a bloody battle, and the strength and firepower of the second battalion of the only regiment could not stop the Matsumoto Wing's frantic attack. ”

When Li Gang said this, seeing that Lei Jian and Lao Sun encouraged him to continue with an appreciative look, Li Gang continued: "In order to block the enemy in the area of Qingshui Bridge, I suggest that the cavalry battalion of the only regiment, under the leadership of deputy commander Ma Ming, rush to Qingshui Bridge as quickly as possible to block the enemy on the other side of the Qingshui River, and at the same time order Song Chun's four battalions to run forward to reinforce the cavalry battalion.

At this time, the first and third battalions of Ikeda's squadron, which had been trapped in three pillboxes, were to destroy the enemy pillboxes and destroy the enemy in the city in the shortest possible time, so as to prepare for the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the main force to enter Fuping City. This is how Li Gang made arrangements to deal with the enemy, and I also asked Regiment Commander Lei and Comrade Lao Sun to give their opinions. ”

Lei Jian looked at Lao Sun and said: "Comrade Lao Sun, for the deployment of Regiment Commander Li Gang, please put forward supplementary opinions and form a combat plan as soon as possible, the situation is urgent, we have no time." ”

Lao Sun pointed out with a serious face: "I basically agree with the operational deployment proposed by Regiment Commander Li Gang, but we should consider a cavalry battalion and Song Chun's four battalions, that is, to rush to Qingshuiqiao in time, step up the deployment of positions and prepare to meet the enemy, with the strength and firepower of two infantry cavalry battalions, can we block a Matsumoto wing of the Japanese army with strong combat effectiveness on the other side of the Qingshui River?" Once the position was broken through, the Matsumoto Wing frantically pounced on Hatsuya Village, and the 2nd Battalion was afraid that it would not be able to stop the enemy's attack, and Fuping Castle would be in danger at that time. ”

Li Gang looked at Lao Sun and said in an admiring tone: "Comrade Lao Sun's proposal is very critical, and I would like to ask Regiment Commander Lei to talk about this issue and make specific arrangements." ”

Lei Jian said decisively according to Li Gang's deployment and Lao Sun's rhetorical opinion: "I agree with the deployment of Regiment Commander Li Gang, and also agree with the question raised by Comrade Lao Sun, and order the cavalry battalion of the first regiment and the fourth battalion of Song Chun to rush to the Qingshui Qiao position as quickly as possible to block the enemy on the other side of the river. ”

He shouted as he spoke: "Is Director Zhang Ping outside?" Please come in right away. ”

"Report to Captain Lei, Zhang Ping will report to you."

Lei Jian ordered in a stern tone: "Director Zhang Ping, immediately send a report to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in my name, requesting that the 3rd Regiment of the Military Region, which is engaged with the enemy, pursue the Matsumoto Wing that is moving closer to the Qingshui River, and contain the enemy to disrupt the speed of the Japanese army's march, so as to give the cavalry battalion of the only regiment and the 4th Battalion of Song Chun time to reach the Qingshui Bridge position in time and build fortifications to prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Yes, I will send a report to the head of the military region immediately." Zhang Ping saluted and turned to leave.

Lei Jian said to Li Gang again: "Commander Lei, order the first battalion and the third battalion of the only regiment besieging the Ikeda squadron to pay close attention to the eastward direction of the enemy in the bunker. ”

"Yes, I'll deploy it right away." Li Gang stood up and gave Lei Jian a military salute, turned around and gave Lao Sun a military salute, Lao Sun stood up and held Li Gang's hand and said meaningfully: "Commander Li, I hope that in the future, we can work together to fight the enemy." ”
