Lao Sun continued: "Commander Lei, according to the operational deployment issued by Commander Nie to the only regiment, as Political Commissar Ma said, 'This change will completely disrupt the original plan'.

The most important thing at the moment is that through the captured Japanese squad leader Kondo, he deliberately let him go back and brought a letter of persuasion to Captain Ikeda who was stuck in the bunker, stipulating that he should lay down his arms and surrender within 24 hours, and it has only been 11 hours, and before the deadline for surrender, if our Eighth Route Army suddenly launches an attack, is it ....... ”

"Lao Sun, there is no morality to talk about with the enemy, we give him a time limit for surrender, and when the time comes, he still does not surrender, but increases the firepower to attack the attack.

Simply destroy the devil's bunker in one go, eliminate this group of bastard troops and immediately advance quickly towards Qingshuiqiao, so as to buy time to block the Matsumoto Wing across the river, relieve the pressure on Fuping City, and welcome the military region organs and the main force to station. ”

Zhang Ping, who was invited by Lei Jian to sit down for a meeting together, stood up and retorted when he heard this mysterious old grandson say this kind of agreement with the devil or not.

Lei Jian smiled and sat Zhang Ping down, and said calmly: "Director Zhang, don't be excited, be patient when listening to others, don't send random messages when you hear something that doesn't meet your own thoughts, this lacks the sincerity to accommodate other people's opinions, and at the same time, it is also disrespectful to the comrades who express their opinions, right?" ”

The situation was urgent, and Lei Jian didn't have much time to listen to everyone continue to argue, he coughed lightly and looked at the three of them and said; "Just now, Political Commissar Ma, Lao Sun, and Zhang Ping each expressed their own views on the urgent telegram sent by Commander Nie asking for opinions, and in view of the current enemy situation facing the One Regiment, I suggest that Commander Li Gang of the One Regiment be brought in immediately and listen to his opinions before making a decision."

Li Gang received the notice that he would immediately go to the Oshima clinic to convene a pre-war emergency military meeting, and he didn't know what special circumstances had occurred, so he rushed to the Oshima clinic in less than ten minutes on horseback, jumped off the saddle and threw off the reins in his hand, and rushed into the house to see Lei Jian and the others with solemn faces, and he asked in a daze: "Commander Lei, what's wrong?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have found me in such an emergency. ”

Lei Jian handed over Commander Nie's urgent telegram to Li Gang, and Li Gang looked at it twice and spread his hands and asked, "Commander Lei, what does this mean?" Don't....... ”

Ma Mingshan saw that Li Gang was emotional, he patted the stool and said, "Head Li, sit down and have something to say." ”

Li Gang put forward his views on the current battlefield situation and the new operational adjustments faced by the single regiment.

Lei Jian summed up everyone's opinions and said firmly: "Comrades, Commander Nie of the Military Region has proposed a new operational deployment for the only regiment, and according to the current distribution of the strength of the only regiment, I propose that in accordance with the final surrender deadline issued to Ikeda's squadron, I will immediately issue an ultimatum to Ikeda, the leader of the devil squadron, within half an hour, and give a clear reply within half an hour. ”

Li Gang said with a face of embarrassment: "Commander Lei, the devils who stick to the three bunkers, rely on the strong bunkers to carry out fire resistance, and at the critical moment, the little devils will definitely launch poison gas bombs in a frenzy, and destroy the enemy's three bunkers in an hour and a half, I'm afraid it will ......." ”

"Commander Li Gang, there is no delay in conquering the enemy's bunker now, once the only regiment fails to destroy the enemy's bunker at the specified time, and cannot rush to the Qingshui Bridge in time to block the attack of the Matsumoto Wing, the cavalry battalion and the four battalions of Song Chun who arrived in advance will most likely not be able to prevent the Matsumoto Wing from crossing the Qingshui Bridge, breaking through our army's position and marching quickly to Fuping City, once the position on the west bank of the Qingshui Bridge is broken through, the cavalry battalion and the fourth battalion alone will be in a very dangerous situation."

Lei Jian saw that Li Gang's face was pale, and he was not confident in destroying the enemy bunker in an hour and a half, and he continued: "Commander Li, according to your front-line report on the battlefield situation of attacking the enemy's bunker in the first stage, I have determined that the auxiliary bunkers on both sides of the main bunker are not equipped with grenade-type gas bombs, and only the main bunker has the conditions for casting poison gas bombs, this should not be wrong, right?" ”

"Commander Lei, during the first stage of attacking the enemy pillbox, the auxiliary pillbox did not use poison gas bombs." Li Gang nodded and replied.

"That's good, I order the only regiment, battalion and company to continue to besiege the main pillbox, in case the main pillbox reinforces the auxiliary pillbox, and lure the enemy to counterattack with maximum firepower and consume the enemy's ammunition with feint tactics. The 2nd Company of the 1st Battalion and the 1st Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment were ordered to destroy the auxiliary pillboxes on the right flank of the main pillbox with maximum firepower within half an hour.

The third company of the first battalion and the second and third companies of the third battalion were ordered to launch a general attack on the enemy's left flank pillbox with the help of the terrain and topography, and the time to destroy the enemy's pillbox should not exceed half an hour.

We relied on the sudden general attack on the enemy's pillboxes to disrupt the enemy's counterattack deployment, deter the enemy, defeat the enemy's arrogance, cause panic and weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness. As soon as the two auxiliary pillboxes were destroyed, the 3rd Battalion immediately withdrew from the battle and ran to reinforce the Qingshui Bridge position.

The first battalion launched a final general attack on the main block, but it was necessary to prepare in advance to deal with the enemy's use of poison gas bombs, which was not the first time for the first battalion, and it already had experience in anti-poisoning. ”

Lei Jian said this, looked at Li Gang and suggested: "Commander Li, I suggest that when launching an attack on the enemy's bunker, form a number of earthen tank assault teams, only in this way can you get close to blowing up the strong enemy bunker, you are now the commander of the only regiment, you can directly give orders." ”

Li Gang shook his head and said with a smile: "Commander Lei, don't embarrass me, the cadres and soldiers of the only regiment know that you are commanding this battle, or you are giving the order, and I, Li Gang, will resolutely carry it out." ”

"Okay, we will now immediately set up the command post for launching a general attack on the enemy's pillbox at the front of the position, and my Lei Jian and Commander Li Gang will issue the general attack order at the same time, what are your opinions on Commander Li, Political Commissar Ma, and Lao Sun?"

Ma Mingshan and Lao Sun first expressed their attitude: "I agree with this new tactical adjustment made by Regiment Commander Lei according to Commander Nie's instructions." ”

Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Captain Lei, don't be so troublesome, right?" It's still up to you to give the order personally, and I, Li Gang, ....... ”

"The decimal obeys the majority, and immediately issues operational orders in accordance with the new operational deployment, and the front-line command post will now be moved to the front of the position." After Lei Jian finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ping and ordered: "Immediately issue a tactical order to the main forces of the only regiment to readjust." ”

Lei Jian stood up and walked out of the hut, looking at the way he walked, he was not a seriously wounded man who was still recovering, this was the maximum potential of a soldier of the Eighth Route Army and a regimental commander who was inspired by an indomitable spirit when the war was coming.

Zhang Guanghua and Chun Tao watched Lei Jian stride out of the hut, looking at Lei Jian in surprise, Chun Tao just wanted to walk to take care of Lei Jian, but Zhang Guanghua grabbed him and whispered: "Chun Tao, now is the only regiment of extraordinary times, Commander Lei is all in command of the battle at this time, regardless of his body, we can only quietly follow by our side, strictly protect anytime and anywhere, and must not let Lei Regiment Commander fall again." ”

Doctor Oshima looked at Lei Jian and walked out like he was nothing, he looked at Zhang Guanghua and asked in a low voice, "Vice President Zhang, why did Chief Lei suddenly get better so quickly?" ”

Zhang Guanghua waved his hand not to disturb, and called Shang Chuntao to follow closely by Lei Jian's side.

Lei Jian walked up to a wounded Japanese soldier, grabbed the Japanese soldier's shoulders with both hands, and said in Japanese with a gentle but dignified attitude: "Your recovery should be okay now, I will write a letter to you and bring it to you, and immediately send you to the main bunker occupied by Ikeda's squadron, and give my letter to Captain Ikeda, do you understand?" ”

Doctor Oshima, who was beside him, pulled Thunder's sword and asked, "Commander Lei, haven't you already sent the letter you and I wrote to Captain Ikeda?" Why do you have to send the letter again, and why is that? ”

"Mr. Oshima, you are a doctor, when a battle is carried out to a certain extent, the commanders of both sides will constantly adjust their deployment and tactics according to the situation on the battlefield, and now sending a letter to Squadron Leader Ikeda again is the deadline for Squadron Leader Ikeda and the Japanese soldiers who are holding the bunker in the spirit of 'virtue of good life', this is the right of a commander of the Eighth Route Army, please Mr. Oshima don't worry about it."

After Lei Jian finished speaking to Oshima, he picked up the pen and paper on the table, and in order not to hurt the knife on his chest, he wrote a few words in Japanese on the paper in a half-squatting shape, ......and handed it to Lao Sun who came out and said: "Lao Sun, polish the sentence, if there is no problem, immediately hand it over to the wounded Japanese soldier and send it to Captain Ikeda." ”

Lao Sun read it and said very sincerely: "Commander Lei, the words written are sharp, the sentences are smooth, the time, time limit, consequences and the actions taken by the Eighth Route Army are all very clearly stated, and there is no problem. ”

Under Lei Jian's arrangement, Feng Guang sent two guard platoon soldiers to escort the soldiers who were not seriously injured and recovered well, and took the ultimatum written by Lei Jian to Captain Ikeda, and quickly left the Oshima clinic and went straight to the forward position.

The soldier who successfully sent the thunder sword an ultimatum to Captain Ikeda was happy to finally return to the bunker, but he didn't expect Captain Ikeda, who had read the letter, to suddenly pull out his gun and put it on the forehead of the devil who came back with the letter, and pulled the trigger to shoot.
