Chapter 53: Shifting to Duty (1)
Just as Zhang Shun was about to snipe Tachibana Jun, Xiao Linghu came over and patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Linghu.
"Let him go!" Xiao Linghu ordered.
Zhang Shun was a little puzzled, under the afterglow of the fading flares, he saw Xiao Linghu's calm face, being able to maintain a normal heart in this fierce confrontation, which is not something ordinary people can do.
Xiao Linghu picked up a military spur that fell to the ground and told him leisurely: "He can use this knife to stab me in my body, but he didn't do it!" ”
"Why?" Zhang Shun was very puzzled, and couldn't believe that there would be a devil who would be kind to Xiao Linghu.
Xiao Linghu just let out a wry smile, but still told him: "Because I used to be friends with him!" ”
"Do you recognize him?" Zhang Shun was a little surprised.
Xiao Linghu nodded, without any further explanation, found the flower machine gun he had dropped in the dark, and held it in his hand again, and immediately felt that his whole body had strength again.
The western defense line arranged by the devil on the periphery of Luodian has since been truly torn apart.
With this opening, the battle behind was much easier, and the second battalion smoothly followed the ripped defensive direction, struck hard to the south, and the third battalion flanked the devil soldiers who were still holding out in the southern section, and did not wait until twelve o'clock in the evening, the third battalion also took the southern section, and together with the second battalion, they hit the edge of Luodian.
It's just at this time, because the devil also deployed a force at the edge of Luodian, although the number was small, but it was very effective in blocking the ** that was pursuing, and they did not make persistent efforts to rush into the town.
When he learned that the 65th Regiment had taken the entire western outlying position of Luodian, Brigade Commander Ye Gao's excitement could be imagined, and he immediately ordered the 61st Regiment to join the battle, hoping to enter Luodian Town in one fell swoop.
Division Commander Peng also got the news that the defense line on the west side of the devil had been breached, and immediately ordered all regiments to attack overnight, in order to take Luodian in one fell swoop. But at this time, Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the 18th Army, transferred the 67th Division again, and arrived at this time, combined the strength of the two divisions, and stormed Luodian that night.
The 11th Division finally recaptured Luodian Town in an all-round way, but when Xiao Linghu walked into this town, he found that Luodian at this time was completely different from when they first came, and there was not a single intact building in the whole town, even the Yangzhou Hotel on the cross street, which had also become a ruin with several walls. However, the ring fortifications in the center of the street are still there, but the difference is that the asphalt road has long been dug up, and the fortifications have been built there, and it is no longer in the open air.
It seems that the devils have not worked hard here, and their trenches have been connected from outside the town to the town, especially at the entrance to the town, where they have built blockhouses made of bricks and stones with demolition of houses. The streets have lost their shape and are littered with ruins.
Seeing that the battle was over, Xiao Linghu realized that he was tired, at this time, the company of the second battalion that he forced had returned to the tent of Battalion Commander Yao, and his battalion became a unit under the personal command of Hu Congjun, he was left with a leisure, and returned to Heqiao Village with the death squad, first went to see Hu Congjun, and saw that he was excitedly calling Commander Peng, so he did not stay too long, but came to the river, took off his clothes with everyone, and took a good bath first. Then he washed his dirty clothes inside and out, lit mugwort, smoked mosquitoes, and fell asleep under a tree by the river.
The early autumn evening was a little cool, but it was also the most comfortable time, as soon as everyone lay down, they were whistling, even if the mosquito bite was tight, it could not wake up these warriors who had been killing for a day and half a night.
At dawn, Xiao Linghu was called up, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Xiao Yang.
"Company commander, you're so hard to find! How did you fall asleep here? Yang Gensheng pushed him awake.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Linghu lazily opened his sleepy and hazy eyes.
"Captain Hu is looking for you everywhere!" Xiao Yang said.
Xiao Linghu said: "Isn't the battle over?" What else is he looking for me to do? With that, he got up and put on his clothes.
After returning to Heqiao Village, they changed the devil's military uniform, just in case they were misunderstood.
"How do I know!" Xiao Yang said.
Xiao Linghu looked at the death squad members who followed him to death, and they were still sleeping soundly, so he didn't wake them up again, and rushed to Hu Congjun's 65th Regiment headquarters with Yang Gensheng.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the other two battalion commanders of the 65th Regiment were here, as well as several company commanders, and Tian Dahai of their battalion was also there.
The eleven members of their death squad, including him, completed the task very well this time, except for one member of the team who was injured, the other team members were intact, which was also a reason why Hu Congjun was impressed with him.
"Hehe, where did our hero hide just now? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time! After the applause, Hu Congjun took the lead in opening his mouth.
Xiao Linghu smiled embarrassedly and said, "I took the members of the death squad to wash, and then fell asleep by the river without knowing it!" ”
Listening to his words, Hu Congjun also sighed with some emotion, and said: "Yes, the brothers are too tired, this is not easy to take Luodian, it should have been a good rest, but the task above is urgent, I dare not call everyone to discuss together!" ”
"What's the task?" Xiao Linghu hurriedly asked.
"What else could it be?" Camp Chief Yao said: "Luodian has been taken down, but do you still need someone to guard it?" So we're still responsible! ”
"I see!" Xiao Linghu said: "If you take it down, you must keep it, but I don't know how we should abide by the law?" ”
Hu Congjun said: "Our 11th Division is responsible for the west and northwest of Luodian; The 67th Division was responsible for the east and northeast. ”
Xiao Linghu knew that after dawn here, there would be another battle soon, and the devil would definitely make a comeback, the position of Luodian was too important, no matter who occupied here, it could become a sharp knife to threaten the opponent's back.
It's just that now I have changed positions with the devils, they will defend, and the devils will attack, this kind of switch of attack and defense is clearly the beginning of another meat grinding.
