Ma Ming led the cavalry battalion to fail to destroy the Japanese artillery positions in time, resulting in the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which was sticking to the positions on the north and south slopes, being hit by the Japanese artillery fire again, and the battlefield situation deteriorated suddenly.

Lei Jian observed this situation, and was very angry at the disadvantage of the cavalry battalion, and scolded Ma Ming uncontrollably, why he failed to destroy the enemy's artillery position as soon as possible.

At this time, a squadron of the enemy was deployed around the artillery position, and Ma Ming knew very well that under the vigilance of a squadron of the enemy, it was impossible for the cavalry battalion to sneak attack the enemy's artillery position again.

Lei Jian frowned, he didn't expect the Japanese commander to attach so much importance to the artillery position, in the case of the strength of the Japanese troops in the front and rear, not only sent a small team of devils to patrol around the artillery position, but also sent a squadron of Japanese troops to strictly defend the artillery position.

He said to Lao Sun and political commissar Ma Mingshan beside him: "The two already know that the cavalry battalion failed in the surprise attack on the enemy's artillery position, and now the one, three, and fourth battalions of the only regiment that are sticking to the position on the southwest and north slopes of Sangtou Town are facing the attack of a wing of devils, coupled with the enemy's strong artillery support, the position of the only regiment at this time can be said to be precarious. Inflict a great loss of vitality on the only one. ”

When Lao Sun heard Lei Jian say this, he said directly without speculation or verbosity: "Commander Lei, I believe that you already have a plan of action for the next step, and the time is urgent, so you can say it directly." ”

"Yes, Captain Lei, let's talk about your next deployment." Ma Mingshan echoed.

Lei Jian looked at Ma Mingshan and said: "Political Commissar Ma, the second battalion and the regimental organs on the west bank of the Qingshui Bridge and the departments directly under the regiment will be handed over to you, the main task of the second battalion is to block the Matsumoto Wing that may break through the positions on the north and south slopes of our only regiment, and quickly reinforce Fuping City through the Qingshui Bridge, in an attempt to rescue the Ikeda squadron trapped in Fuping City." However, I don't think that's very likely.

Another task of the 2nd Battalion was to pay close attention to the sudden enemy situation on the west bank of the Qingshui Bridge, and once the enemy was discovered, it was necessary to block it with the most intense firepower, and the safety of the Qingshui Bridge must be ensured.

The second battalion, as the most arduous and complicated task to carry out, is to ensure the safety of the regimental organs and the wounded and sick, and not to cause our regimental organs to suffer a single loss, still less to make our seriously wounded soldiers feel insecure. ”

Ma Mingshan replied firmly: "Commander Lei, you can rest assured of this, as long as I, Ma Mingshan, am here, I will ensure that the second battalion is there, the organs directly under the regiment are there, and the Qingshui Bridge position is there, but I don't understand, you are now commanding at this front-line command post, why do you want to give me these instructions?" ”

Lei Jian said solemnly: "Now the most important task of our only regiment is to destroy the Japanese artillery position in the shortest possible time, I led the guard platoon to pack a few mortars, concealed and quickly approached the enemy artillery position, and suddenly launched the most fierce artillery attack on the enemy artillery position, covering the cavalry battalion to destroy the largest fire support base of the Japanese Matsumoto Wing. ”

"This can't work, your injuries are very serious, the knife is not recovering well, and your body has not recovered, so you can't withstand such a toss at all, or ......." Lao Sun and Ma Mingshan shouted almost at the same time.

Zhang Guanghua, who was guarding Lei Jian's side at this time, heard that Lei Jian didn't care for his body so much, and walked up to him with some impulsiveness and said: "Comrade Lei Jian, you are seriously injured and weak now, I, as your attending doctor, will never allow you to perform such a difficult task without authorization, I don't believe that if the entire unique regiment leaves you Comrade Lei Jian, no one will be able to complete this task?" ”

Lei Jian was very embarrassed by Zhang Guanghua's words, he knew that anyone could leave this unique regiment of troops, but if they all left, would this unique regiment still exist? Now the situation on the battlefield is very precarious, and if the artillery position of the Japanese Matsumoto Wing can be destroyed in the shortest possible time, then the Matsumoto Wing will lose its most powerful fire support.

My only regiment can launch a general attack on the Matsumoto Wing, and then I will reveal a little news to Commander Matsumoto, this Matsumoto will definitely not fall in love with the battle, and will take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield and flee.

He looked at Zhang Guanghua with firm confidence and said, "Vice President Zhang, what you said is very right, but if the commander of the only regiment disappears at the same time, do you think this army can still defeat the Japanese attack?" ”

"You're quibbling, how could the only regiment disappear all the commanders at the same time? This analogy is very inappropriate, I Zhang Guanghua does not accept it, without you Comrade Lei Jian, the only regiment can still win the battle. ”

"You, you Zhang Guanghua can't say that, now the other commanders are leading the troops in their respective command posts to fight bloody battles with the enemy, and now there are only a few of us in the command post, who do you say to send to lead the guard platoon to carry mortars to destroy the enemy's artillery position?

Besides, time is in life, I believe that my Lei Jian will definitely complete this mission successfully, once this task is handed over to others, if the task is not completed smoothly, the enemy's artillery fire will continue to bombard our positions, how much do you say our soldiers will sacrifice in the artillery fire? ”

Lei Jian said and suddenly reprimanded with a fierce attitude: "Comrade Zhang Guanghua, your task is to lead the field medical team to rescue the wounded soldiers, but why have you been hiding in the command post and not directly participating in the rescue?" Are you afraid of death? ”

"You, you Lei Jian bastard, I, Zhang Guanghua, have put my life aside from the moment I joined the revolution, and I didn't stay to treat you, a seriously wounded man who was running around disobediently, at any time? If you say that about me now, what kind of person has I become in your eyes?

Do you think that I, Zhang Guanghua, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I'm mistaken about you. Lei Jian, you are an unreasonable bastard, I, Zhang Guanghua, am not the only soldier of your regiment, and you are not qualified to insult me. ”

Zhang Guanghua was humiliated by Lei Jian's crying and suddenly rushed out of the command post and went straight to the front-line battlefield, so frightened that Lei Jian rushed out and grabbed Zhang Guanghua and said: "Vice President Zhang, I didn't mean that, it's just that I ......." ”

"You've said it so clearly, don't you mean that? I don't listen, I, Zhang Guanghua, would rather die on the battlefield than care if you live or die again, let alone see you again. ”

Lei Jian tightly grabbed Zhang Guanghua and said sincerely: "Vice President Zhang, I really didn't mean that, I just wanted to lead the guard platoon to destroy the enemy's artillery position as soon as possible, and I hurt you in a hurry, I know that you are all for my good, it is my Lei Jian bastard, nonsense hurts you, please don't be angry."

Do you think that's good? In order for you to treat me in time, this time I am on a very dangerous and important mission, if you are not afraid of death, I will take you with me, do you think it is okay? ”

Zhang Guanghua didn't expect that Lei Jian, a very stern and domineering commander on the battlefield, would hurt his comrades with the impulse of his words at a very tense moment, and he could put down his worth and apologize so sincerely, and he felt much better.

She knew Lei Jian's current situation, and she also knew that the battle of the only regiment on the front line of Qingshui Bridge was very hard, and now Lei Jian risked the recurrence of his injuries and personally led the guard platoon to destroy the Japanese artillery position close to the front of the enemy position, which shows the importance of this mission.

At this time, Political Commissar Ma Mingshan and Lao Sun also came over and persuaded him: "Vice President Zhang, don't you always say that Captain Lei Jian is still a big child who hasn't grown up?" What Regiment Leader Lei said just now may have hurt you, but at this time, in order to get your permission, Regiment Leader Lei had to ask him to carry out this most important and dangerous mission.

You should understand Commander Lei's intentions, he is not intentionally hurting you, but to risk his own life to ensure the victory of this battle, and he is also doing his best to reduce the casualties of the troops, in order for the soldiers to live well, Commander Lei ...... anything. ”

"Don't say any more, I know very well in my heart Captain Lei's mood at this time, for the apology that Captain Lei expressed to me, I agree to follow Captain Lei to act together, and use my Zhang Guanghua's life to ensure that Captain Lei lives well."

Lei Jian was moved by Zhang Guanghua's generosity and bravery, he took the initiative to hold Zhang Guanghua's delicate hand for the first time, and said sincerely: "Comrade Zhang Guanghua, you are not only a good doctor, a brave good soldier of the Eighth Route Army, but also a good girl who is empathetic, I promise you, take you to carry out this dangerous and important mission, your task is not to protect me, but to be able to treat the wounded soldiers on the battlefield in time." For the sake of victory, Comrade Zhang Guanghua, immediately follow my actions. ”
