Xiao Linghu took Yizhimei and Sha Wenhua along the road he came, turned a few corners, and found Liang Yan again.

At this time, Liang Yan was in the third house on the left hand side at the entrance to South Street, and used this place as the temporary headquarters of their battalion. The house was supposed to be a cloth shop, but now the goods have been emptied, leaving behind a large signboard.

The room was quite spacious, with a desk and a relatively large table, which should be where the cloth was stacked.

At this time, an oil lamp was lit on the table, and the sparks the size of beans swayed slightly, but they could light up the whole room, although it was still a little dim, but you could see everyone's faces clearly.

At this time, in the house, there were only Liang Yan and Sun Xiaoming, a deputy battalion commander surnamed Wen, and a few communication soldiers, and nothing else. The situation of the battle was notified and reported to the companies and platoons through the signal corps, but fortunately, the area where they could move at this time was not large, and the second company, which had fought the farthest, only needed to go a few more houses to the east.

Liang Yan was discussing something with Deputy Battalion Commander Wen, looking at a piece of paper spread out on the table, and when he saw Xiao Linghu coming over, Liang Yan immediately straightened up and asked, "Ling Hu, you came just in time, you blew up the devil machine gun position on Cross Street, right?" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Linghu to answer, Yizhimei said proudly: "Who else would it be if it weren't for us?" ”

"Excellent! We have taken that position, and now the situation is in our favor! Liang Yan looked a little happy.

However, Xiao Linghu was not happy at all, he shook his head and said, "Old Liang, don't be too happy, our trouble is coming!" ”

"Trouble?" Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

Xiao Linghu walked to the table, only to see that what was originally placed on the table was a hand-drawn map, although it was a little rough, but it could also be seen that this was the floor plan of Luodian.

At that moment, he pointed to the location of the central cross street and said to him, "See?" Although you can control the overall situation with firepower here, it is actually an important goal, and whoever occupies this place will be attacked by the enemy; Now that this place has just changed hands and has been captured by us, then in the same way, the devils will also regard this place as their breakthrough place. ”

Listening to Xiao Linghu's words, Liang Yan, who was still a little proud just now, suddenly became solemn again, and immediately felt that the crisis was coming.

Xiao Linghu continued: "Just now I saw two teams of devils coming from the direction of the school in the north, and when they were about to reach the cross street, they dispersed, thinking that they were here to recapture the cross street position!" ”

"We can't lose this position!" Deputy Battalion Commander Wen said: "As long as we hold this position, then we can attract a large number of devils to come, and our other two companies can also smoothly expand to both sides." As long as we hold out until dawn and our large forces arrive, we will be victorious! ”

Liang Yan nodded, and was about to speak, but Xiao Linghu on the side said: "The devils set up machine guns here just now because they brought enough ammunition; Now that we have taken this place, where is there so much ammunition to support it? ”

Indeed, as Xiao Linghu said, they entered Luodian pretending to be the camouflage troops of the Japanese army, and the number of bullets on each person's body was a fixed number; Even a few Heavy and the sub-Heavy with the ammo box on their backs didn't carry too many bullets, because that would be a bit different.

"Since we occupy that position, can we use the devil's guns and bullets?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wen also reacted quickly, as authentic as this.

Xiao Linghu smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said truthfully: "In that position, I threw three grenades, and everyone was blown into slag, but I am afraid that those two crooked machine guns were also blown up and could not be used!" ”

When I heard this, everyone couldn't help but hurt their brains.

Liang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to give up the position of the cross street?" ”

Deputy Battalion Commander Wen immediately objected: "No, now the other two battalions of our regiment are still fighting with the devils on the periphery, our battalion has arrived in the town, that cross street, is the center of the town, if we can hold on there, we will definitely be able to attract a large number of devils, in this way, we can make our battalions attacking from the east and west sides can break through the devils' outer defense line more quickly, as long as those two battalions can also hit the town, then, these devils will definitely retreat." ”

"I don't know how many lives Deputy Wen is going to take to fill it?" Xiao Linghu asked him rhetorically.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wen was speechless for a while, snorted for a long time, and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Xiao Linghu looked at Liang Yan, then looked at the hand-drawn drawings on the table, and said, "The devil's powerful firepower just now was destroyed by my three grenades. If it is replaced by us to defend and the devil to attack, with the devil's trick, there are many more methods than on our side. They have small steel cannons, and grenadiers, especially grenades, which can hit much farther than grenades and grenades, and the grenadiers of the devils are also very accurate, I really don't know, after we stayed there, were we used as targets by the devils? Or can you really hold on! ”

"If you don't keep it, will you just let the devils occupy the cross street, and then seal off the entire street like you did just now?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wen asked.

"Keeping must be guarded, mainly depends on how law-abiding it is!" Xiao Linghu said very seriously.

"Ling Hu, let's talk about your thoughts quickly, time is running out!" Liang Yan urged.

It's almost four o'clock in the morning, two hours at most, and the sky will be bright. If they can hold out on to Cross Street for two hours, once Luodian is taken by them, then their battalion will be the first to take it.

"Okay, I'll just tell you what I think!" Xiao Linghu came to the table again, and saw that there was a lead smile on the table, so he picked it up and drew on the hand-drawn map of Luodian, and said while drawing: "This cross street has four corners, we must occupy the lower left and lower right corners, and the camera will occupy this corner in the northeast, then the position of this cross street will be like being tied hand and foot, although its power is still there, but if we want to take it, it will only be a matter of minutes." ”

Liang Yan and Deputy Battalion Commander Wen couldn't help but have their eyes lit up, and they almost shouted out in unison, "Wai three is missing one?" ”

Xiao Linghu nodded solemnly: "Yes, it is to encircle three and lack one, so that these devils can easily retreat, and they can also occupy smoothly, let's play with them, once the devils withdraw, we will occupy it; Once the devils organize an attack, we can resist a little and withdraw immediately to avoid too many casualties! ”

Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this tactic was clearly the tactic used by the Red Army when the 11th Division was the Western Red Army.
