Chun Tao panted and opened her eyes, and saw that Xie Na's face was covered with dirt, she threw herself into Xie Na's arms without any scruples, and cried loudly: "Xie Na, Xie Na, our Lei Regiment Leader sacrificed, and he didn't even find anyone back, but Brother Lei rescued me from the devil three times, I really can't live without him, I might as well go on the road with him, and stay with him, woo woo, woo woo ......." ”

At this time, the soldiers of the independent regiment, when they heard that their Lei regiment commander had died, did not even find the corpse, and they hugged their heads one by one and cried, the crying mountains shook, the forest and the sea roared, the branches and birds chirped, and even the clouds floating in the sky seemed to be still.

Commander Chen of the East Column, listening to the report of Ma Mingshan, the chief of operations who rushed into the house, jumped up and grabbed Ma Mingshan, looked at Ma Mingshan, was silent for a long time, and was just about to reply to Ma Mingshan, Commander Chen suddenly asked sharply: "Have you brought back the Thunder Sword Regiment Commander for me?" ”

Commander Chen realized that he was out of shape, let go of Ma Mingshan and sat on the stool, looked at Ma Mingshan, and waited for Ma Mingshan to give him good news.

Ma Mingshan said with tears in his eyes: "Report to Commander Chen, I led a company of soldiers to search and search around the battlefield back and forth, but I have not found the figure of Regiment Commander Lei, so many soldiers who were destroyed and sacrificed by enemy aircraft firepower, one by one, but still did not find Regiment Commander Lei, I am afraid, I am afraid of ......." ”

Commander Chen was afraid of the two words behind Ma Mingshan, so he stood up and asked, "What are you afraid of?" Although he was afraid that Ma Mingshan would say the result that he was unwilling to accept, he still wanted to hear what Ma Mingshan would say.

Ma Mingshan had to express his opinion: "Commander Chen, I have repeatedly checked the three combat vehicles destroyed by the enemy plane, and I really didn't find anyone's skeleton on the scene, but, but I am afraid that our hero will be blown up by the bomb of the enemy plane, this possibility should not be large, but it cannot be completely ruled out." ”

Commander Chen was silently praying in his heart, although he didn't believe in Buddhism, he would rather believe it once at this time, as long as Lei Jian could come back alive, only once.

Peacock Valley was shrouded in a very painful and depressing atmosphere, and no one could accept the loss of a good commander like Lei Jian, especially a half-grown child, who died in the war like this.

The Independent Regiment of the Fifth Detachment of the Mountain Column of the Eighth Route Army, under the auspices of Commander Chen of the East Column, was holding an emergency military meeting above the battalion level.

Wang Xiaoliang choked up and said: "The head of the Lei Jian Regiment is the leader of my participation in the Eighth Route Army, and it was he who pulled me from the mountain into the town salt office for the first time, killed more than a dozen little devils by himself, captured a platoon of puppet soldiers, seized the weapons, ammunition and food of the enemy puppet army, spent money to buy mules and horses, and transported them back to the base of the old independent regiment.

He also led me to attack the enemy airfield, destroyed a plane, blew up the enemy airfield, captured the airfield technicians, and handed over the captured military supplies and important confidential documents to the troops, and he ...... again. ”

Wang Xiaoliang was crying as he spoke, and he couldn't talk anymore.

Niu Dali said with tears in his eyes: "Commander Lei took me, a child of a farmer who couldn't read big words, to attack the enemy in many places, and launched an unexpected sneak attack on the enemy, and the disturbed devils were not at peace, in order to adapt to the situation of fighting with the enemy, he got a set of Japanese primary school textbooks from the county seat, and took the lead in teaching us to learn Japanese, and the people around him could simply deal with a few words, and some could also skillfully talk to the devils, which played a very important role in sneaking into the enemy camp in disguise to launch a surprise attack. ”

Zhang Ting cried and said: "I am a strong man who was captured by the enemy puppet army, and it was Commander Lei who rescued me and some puppet army brothers from suffering when he attacked Wicker Town. ”

A crying voice slowly cried: "If I hadn't been rescued from the clutches of the devil three times by the head of the thunder, not only would I be humiliated by the devil**, I would have been out of the world now, it was the Lei Jian brothers who rescued my Chun Tao from the devil's crotch, and now that Brother Lei has sacrificed, my Chun Tao has nothing to repay, I just want to go home and join the Buddha gate, chanting and chanting Buddha for the Lei brothers who have entered heaven and hell, but my Chun Tao has a heart of gratitude to the benefactor." ”

Several battalion commanders are recounting that Lei Jian led them to kill the enemy bravely, and at the critical moment when their lives were hanging by a thread many times, it was Lei Jian who led them out of the ghost gate and could continue to kill the devil alive.

Luo Jinchuan said with tears in his eyes: "Commander Lei is the soldier I collected, I am his old battalion commander, this Lei boy has not yet joined the Eighth Route Army, he shouted that he wants to be a machine gunner and blow up the devil's plane, and if he is not called a platoon commander, he will not join the Eighth Route Army."

This is very different from other soldiers who asked to join the Eighth Route Army, and his seemingly unreasonable request became the motivation to break into the enemy camp alone, and many times led a few little guys around him who were not yet soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to penetrate the enemy position, sneak attack the enemy's arsenal, grab the enemy's mortar to bombard the invading enemy group, blow up the enemy's artillery position, grab the enemy's tank, drive the tank into the attacking enemy ranks, carry out the most fierce fire strikes, and rescue the old independent regiment from the crisis.

In the Battle of Songzhuang, the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the superior strength of the three wings, frantically cleared out our anti-Japanese base areas, and the three regiments of our fifth detachment took a retreat defense under the powerful firepower of the enemy and the puppet army, leading the enemy into the mountains and then attacking separately, but the way back was blocked by the enemy puppet army, the enemy of Jiming Mountain in the south blocked the attack, the Bohai Sea in the north, a Dasha River in the west, and a brigade in the east attacked strongly, and our five detachments were in a very dangerous situation.

At a time when the battlefield situation was not optimistic, he took the initiative to ask for help, requesting that the strength of a regiment be handed over to him for command, commanding the decisive Thunder Sword, according to the enemy's firepower and troop deployment, ordering each battalion to ambush in different locations, and he led a sharp knife company to infiltrate the enemy camp while the enemy was unprepared, blast the enemy's munitions, lure the enemy into the ambush circle he set up, and annihilate the enemy's small force with superior forces.

Lei Jian saw that throughout the battle of Songzhuang, whether the enemy and us could get timely replenishment of weapons, ammunition and food was related to the final success or failure. The five detachments of the Eighth Route Army can rely on the local government of the anti-Japanese resistance and the common people to provide food support, but the weapons and ammunition can only be replenished from the enemy, how easy is this to say?

Or Lei Jian, with a sharp knife company into the enemy's 13th Brigade and 73rd Wing's baggage storage important base, quickly eliminate the alert Japanese squad, ingenious modification of two new combat vehicles, all the way into the enemy camp, with the advantage of weapons and ammunition, the devils killed in all directions, the formation was chaotic, timely detonated the devil's rear baggage base, cut off the supply of weapons and ammunition of the Japanese 73rd Wing, he repeated the old trick, captured the enemy tank, and the enemy tank troops on the battlefield, playing a game of cat and mouse, It greatly thwarted the plan of the Japanese brigade to attack the base area.

Later, the detachment sent Lei Jian to lead more than a dozen selected cadres to study at Jiaodong Military and Political University.

During his time at the school, Lei Jian often discussed with the military and political teachers who taught the class, and from time to time there were differences of opinion, and the principal reported the situation to the commander of the Fifth Detachment at the time and now the senior political commissar.

Political Commissar Gao has always had doubts about Lei Jian's identity, but he knows that Lei Jian is a very talented child, and asks the school to discuss it with Lei Jian. ”

Commander Chen interjected when he heard this: "Political Commissar Luo, the Lei Jian you are talking about is indeed an excellent commander, bold and careful, witty and brave, calm, and not panicked, which can be seen in this attack on Deshi Road, you just mentioned that the senior political commissar of the fifth detachment has doubts about the identity of Lei Jian, what is going on?" ”

Luo Jinchuan suddenly looked at Commander Chen vigilantly, and suddenly stopped talking.

Because Commander Chen lost the connection with the Thunder Sword, he didn't know what would happen to this good commander with a very promising cultivation prospect, and it was really difficult to draw conclusions if he didn't see anyone alive or dead.

He is a very talented superior chief, he doesn't know much about Lei Jian, just now when I heard everyone reminisce about Lei Jian, he said it so vividly, which aroused his love for Lei Jian even more, but I heard Luo Jinchuan talk about the high political commissar of the five detachments, and he had doubts about Lei Jian's identity, and he couldn't help but ask, but he didn't expect these comrades-in-arms who shared life and death with Lei Jian to be vigilant and not say it.

Commander Chen looked at Luo Jinchuan's eyes, Luo Jinchuan flickered, and finally couldn't escape Commander Chen's sharp eyes, and said lightly: "The senior political commissar of the fifth detachment once said to me, 'Lei Jian's identity as a stinky boy is a mystery, and he is by no means as simple as an ordinary village child from a peasant family. His mind is sharp, his sources of information are extensive, and every battle seems to have been rehearsed from beginning to end, so that people really can't understand it, what a mystery, this stinky boy seems to have a magical power, this power can give him the feeling of an uncertain prophet, too inexplicable'. ”
