Lei Jian convened the first emergency meeting with some cadres of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the newly formed Independent First Regiment who had temporarily reported to duty, at which he made a long story short: According to the newly formed Independent Regiment, starting with the cadres who had just reported to duty in the regiment, the responsibility should be assigned to the person and the work should be carried out immediately.

After two days of adjustment, enrichment, and arrangement, the newly formed and unique regiment (abbreviated as the newly formed independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region) has basically taken shape at the battalion level and below, and the cadres assigned to all units under the regiment have also been put in place.

On the third day, Lei Jian's injuries had improved greatly, and even those seriously wounded recovered quickly, and some of them had been enriched to the company, serving as a squad and platoon leader, and could move with the army.

Lei Jian stood in front of the team with a tree branch, and said simply and forcefully: "The soldiers of the new unique regiment, you are already a trained Eighth Route Army unit, I will give you another day to strengthen military and various skills training, in the later forced march journey, you may encounter the enemy at any time, and fierce battles will occur, I hope that every soldier can pull out, win the battle, and truly become a heroic Eighth Route Army soldier." ”

He said to Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang: "The burden on the two of you is very heavy, the training of the army will be handed over to the two of you, at three o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, the 'only regiment' will leave the Peacock Valley, I don't want this army that has been trained by the two of you is a bastard army that is frightened when you see the devil and cannot fight the enemy head-on, have you two heard?" ”

The two nodded confidently, and each gave an order to lead the troops to start the last day of military training.

Lei Jian saw that the troops were all brought into the woods for training, and he said to Ma Mingshan: "Political Commissar Ma, tomorrow the troops will be pulled out, leaving the Peacock Valley, according to the order of the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, requiring the new formation of a single regiment, within ten days, forcibly march 300 kilometers, to reach the location of the military region, this task is very heavy, not to mention that the Japanese blockade line must be crossed along the road, even if there is no resistance, the forced march of more than 300 kilometers in ten days is also very difficult. ”

"Yes, this unit is a newly formed peasant army, and although it has undergone four days of intensive training, it is still far behind the troops that have been tested in battle." Ma Mingshan said bottomlessly in his heart.

Lei Jian waved his hand: "Let's go, Commissar Ma, the troops have not moved, we still discuss to determine the marching route first, try to bypass the blockade line of the Japanese army, find a shortcut, and speed up the march." ”

Back in the house, Lei Jian spread the maps he had collected on the kang and said to the chief of staff Zhou Peng: "Don't be idle, from these maps, let's go from the map separately to find a road map that is closer and the march is smoother, and we will arrive at the King Kong Vault on the southern slope of Wutai Mountain. ”

In the morning, Lei Jian was lying on the kang to look at the map, he and Chief of Staff Zhou Peng found out a few marching routes, after comparison, they were not very ideal, the two continued to discuss, and strive to find the most suitable route for the troops.

It was almost noon, Ma Mingshan, Wang Xiaoliang, and Li Gang walked into the house, and saw Lei Jian and Zhou Peng lying on the kang, seriously pulling a scattered map of the kang, Wang Xiaoliang walked to the kang and asked: "Captain Lei, this map of the kang, what are you looking for so hard, you can help when you say it, there are many ......." ”

Wang Xiaoliang was about to flip the map on the kang as he spoke, Lei Jian suddenly made a move, slapped it on the back of Wang Xiaoliang's hand, raised his head and said: "Don't make trouble, Staff Chief Zhou and I are looking for the best route for this march, just a little eyebrows, don't mess it up." ”

A few people stood in front of the kang, not daring to disturb, Ma Mingshan pulled Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang, and whispered a few words, the three of them just stepped out of the threshold, and Lei Jian shouted behind him: "Don't go, grandma's, finally found the best marching route, you come and see." ”

Lei Jian pushed away the messy map on the kang, spread out the march map he had redrawn, patted the edge of the kang and said, "Come closer, I'll briefly tell you first, and then copy a few and send them to the battalion commanders, so as not to make mistakes on the march." ”

A few people lay on the kang, listening to Lei Jian pointing to the map explanation, half an hour passed, several regiment leaders had a deeper understanding of the marching route, Wang Xiaoliang raised his body and jumped down to resist, stretched his waist and shouted: "My mother, but I'm tired to death, Lei Regiment Commander, you haven't gotten off the kang in the morning, can you stand it?" ”

"You're not concentrating, and if you're fully engaged, you won't feel tired or disturbed. Alright, I'm hungry too, let's eat, I'm going to check on your trained team in the afternoon, and if I can't pull the bolt, don't say I can't spare you two bastards. ”

Wang Xiaoliang and Li Gang, seeing that Lei Jian returned to normal, and the witty and naughty during the war and leisure time were revealed in this stinky boy, and they became excited one by one.

Ma Mingshan didn't have much contact with Lei Jian, only heard some legends, only this morning, basically understood Lei Jian's character, this is a sharp thinking, witty and resolute, brave in battle, versatile and erudite, no difficulties can be crushed, did not take off the naughty and witty habits of the tough big child. When partnering with him, everyone will feel a kind of youthful vitality surging around them, so that people's mood is always cheerful and energetic.

Ma Mingshan said with a smile: "Commander Lei, your wound recovery is okay, do you need to add a small stove to make up for your body, so that you can not fall behind in the long-distance rapid march." ”

"Hahaha, Commissar Ma, don't joke with children, my body is hard and ruthless, and besides, the army is newly formed, where can I get good things to make up for my body? It would be nice to be able to fill my Thunder Sword. ”

Wang Xiaoliang shouted to the outside world: "Qu Jiaming, bring good things into the house." ”

"Okay." Qu Jiaming promised to walk into the house from the courtyard, holding a black basin in both hands, and as soon as the person entered the house, a strong meat fragrance was released from the black basin, which immediately exuded a room.

Lei Jian smelled the smell of meat, he, a modern soldier who had traveled to the Anti-Japanese War period, in the past few months, in his impression, it seemed that he had never eaten meat, and when he smelled the smell of meat, Lei Jian, who had no interest, was like a big child, sighing and drooling.

He couldn't wait to shout: "Quickly lift the lid of the black basin, this guy, where did you get the meat, but I'm hungry." ”

Wang Xiaoliang suddenly lifted the lid of the black basin, and the stronger smell of meat came to his nose, and several people in the room couldn't control the flow of Halazi.

Lei Jian took the black basin with both hands, and saw that there were more than a dozen pieces of meat in it, he squinted his eyes and put his nose on the black basin, took a few big mouthfuls beautifully, and quickly closed his mouth, for fear that the harazi would flow into the basin.

He held the black pot and asked: "This is not pig, beef and mutton, it should be Shanzhen, look at the bones of the small animals in this pot and the silk strips of meat, it should be, it should be rabbit meat, hahaha, I guessed right, right?" ”

Ma Mingshan was infected by Lei Jian's funny expression, and said with a smile: "Captain Lei, you can really determine what kind of meat is so fragrant and fragrant that makes people drool." ”

Lei Jian obediently put the black basin on the kang, stretched out his hand and pinched out a small piece of meat, looked at it close to his nose, sniffed it a few times and approached his mouth, just when the people around him thought that Lei Jian was going to put it in his mouth, Lei Jian suddenly put the piece of meat in his hand into the black basin, looked at Ma Mingshan seriously and said: "Political Commissar Ma, you guy almost tempted me to be corrupt, isn't this clearly telling me to eat more and occupy more to watch me fall?" Hahaha, no righteousness, no righteousness. ”

He then said very seriously: "Everyone, the commander of this regiment does not dare to eat the mountain delicacies, he can't enjoy it himself, forget that there are still wounded soldiers, and you don't want to follow me to drink soup and suck meat and bones, but it is still okay for each person to smell it three times." Come on, who's going to enjoy first? Hahaha, there is no such store in this village. ”

Wang Xiaoliang didn't expect Lei Jian to see the rabbit meat, smelled it and finally this result, he knew Lei Jian's temper, he couldn't miss this opportunity, and quickly picked up the black basin, almost touched the tip of the pen to the meat in the basin, sucked three sips fiercely, and handed it to Li Gang.

Li Gang was not polite, he directly touched the tip of his nose to the flesh, closed his eyes and smelled it five or six times, but he was still reluctant to leave.

Lei Jian scolded: "You bastard is too greedy, aren't you? Hurry up and pass it to the next one. ”

Ma Mingshan watched Li Gang hand him the black pot, he, a middle-aged man who was nearly ten years older than Lei Jian and them, this was the first time for him to play this way, he felt very interesting and exciting, and he was not polite at this time, he took the black pot and smelled it twice in a row, and said with a smile: "This rabbit meat is really fragrant, if you can smell it like this a few times a day, even if you die on the battlefield, the smell of meat will still be fragrant on the tip of your nose, hahaha, it's so comfortable." ”

Lei Jian ordered Qu Jiaming: "Immediately give this half pot of rabbit meat to the seriously wounded, if you meet any soldier on the road who wants to smell it, you kid be generous, you can smell it, but you can't eat meat, hahaha, take it away, otherwise I won't be able to stand it." ”
