Chapter 49: Meat Grinding (4)
"The master was looking for me just now, wasn't it?" Xiao Linghu asked Peng Qin.
Peng Qin nodded and asked him, "Last time, you came with Luodian under the 65th Regiment, right?" ”
"Yes!"
"That time it only took you one night to take down Luodian?" Peng Qin asked with some confusion.
"Yes!" Xiao Linghu said: "However, that time it was a trick, we disguised ourselves as devils' troops, and then we entered the town, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to take it!" ”
"I know!" Peng Qin said: "I have already heard from Che Shan and Liang Yan, and that time was also your kid's inspiration, so it took a lot less work!" He sighed and said: "This battle, from the morning to the present, our three regiments besieged a wing of the devil, and only one regiment touched the edge of Luodian, and it has not been able to penetrate; The other two regiments didn't even touch the edge! Ay! ”
"What did the master come to me for?" Xiao Linghu asked incomprehensibly. He didn't believe it, Peng Qin only came to him to tell him about the battle, and he was not a commander, so Peng Qin didn't need to tell him about the battle.
"That's right!" Peng Qin said: "You may not know that Che Shan, the commander of the 65th Regiment, has died!" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Linghu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but scream. Che Shan, that was when he was in the 11th Division, his battalion commander, was his old superior.
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Linghu couldn't believe that this was true, his voice became hoarse, and he couldn't help asking: "How could the head of the car be sacrificed?" ”
Peng Qin said: "He took over the 61st Regiment to command the battle west of Luodian, and in order to check the situation ahead, he went forward, no one expected that the cold gunner of the devil was so powerful!" As he spoke, he became gloomy.
"It's a devil cold gunman again!" Xiao Linghu hated so much that the roots of his teeth hurt, and he immediately remembered the head of the 88th Division, Zhang Cheng, who also died under the cold gunners of the devil.
"Did he use a telescope?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help asking.
"Yes!" Peng Qin said: "He just picked up the mirror and looked at it, and he was hit on the head by the devil!" Smashed all the steel helmets! ”
"The telescope will reflect the light, and the devil must have seen the reflective point, so he will notice him!" Xiao Linghu affirmed.
Peng Qin was stunned, he hadn't thought of this layer yet.
After a moment of silence, Peng Qin told him again: "Liang Yan is also injured, and now he is in the field hospital behind, and he recommends you to command his battalion in his place!" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Linghu was stunned, but he didn't expect Liang Yan to make such a choice.
Peng Qin was also helpless and told him: "The three company commanders in their first battalion have all hung up, except for Sun Daring, the other two company commanders were all killed by the devil's cold gunners." You also know that the last time their deputy battalion commander was gone, and no one has been mentioned until now. ”
"Shizao, there are so many company commanders and battalion commanders in the 11th Division, why do you agree to let me replace this battalion?" Xiao Linghu asked with some curiosity.
Peng Qin let out a wry smile: "Ling Hu, I can't help it. After this day's battle, four combat regiments, twelve battalions, and thirty-six company commanders have so far sacrificed one regiment commander, seriously wounded one regiment commander, twelve battalion commanders sacrificed two, five hung lottery, and four deputy battalion commanders have also been sacrificed; Of the thirty-six company commanders, eight have already been sacrificed, nine have been injured, and not counting those who have been slightly injured! In just one day, half of these cadres have been lost, and this battle has been fought...... It's hard! He couldn't help but show a hint of frustration, but then immediately withdrew his expression.
Xiao Linghu was silent, and then he understood why Peng Qin called this battle for Luodian a meat grinder just now.
"What? Are you scared? Seeing that Xiao Linghu didn't speak, Peng Qin asked.
Xiao Linghu shook his head, he understood Peng Qin's hardship, now that the grassroots cadres under him were in dire straits, and his ready-made company commander was here, it was no wonder that as soon as Liang Yan mentioned him, Peng Qin agreed.
Indeed, Liang Yan's battalion has no deputy battalion commander, and the three company commanders are all hanging, and now they should be leading the troops with those deputy company commanders.
"I'm not afraid!" Xiao Linghu said: "I have never been a battalion commander, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well!" ”
"Hehe, I see!" Peng Qin said: "You can rest assured at this point, now Liang Yan's battalion is said to be a battalion, and there are only three hundred people left, and together, it is just two companies!" ”
Xiao Linghu had nothing to say, a battalion of more than 500 people lost 200 at the end of the day, this kind of battle is indeed not easy to fight. He still remembered that when he first arrived in Li Village, Liang Yan's battalion was used as a reserve force of the 11th Division.
"What? Are you still afraid to take it? Peng Qin asked.
Xiao Linghu didn't speak, he was thinking.
Peng Qin said: "Ling Hu, when you were in the 11th Division, you were the most courageous, and I was also optimistic about you at that time, you even did the work of a division commander, are you still afraid of replacing a battalion commander?" ”
Indeed, think about the battle with the Red Army in Jiangxi, Xiao Linghu took the place of the division commander to command the division headquarters to evacuate after Xiao fell into a coma, and at that time, he was just a small squad leader. Now that Peng Qin has exposed his old secrets, it makes him a little cramped and uneasy.
"Division commander, I'm afraid that I'm an outsider, and the people in their camp won't accept it!" Xiao Linghu voiced his worries.
"I see!" Peng Qin said: "Don't worry about this, the last time you cooperated with Liang Yan and their battalion very happily, those company commanders, platoon commanders and squad leaders all admired you, and now you went to give them acting battalion commanders, and they still can't wait for it!" ”
Hearing Peng Qin say this, Xiao Linghu immediately became interested, and immediately said: "Okay, then I will avoid it and become the acting battalion commander!" ”
Seeing that Xiao Linghu agreed, Peng Qin was very satisfied, and said: "Now that the commander of the 65th Regiment has died, I have appointed Hu Congjun, the chief of staff, to act as the head of the regiment, Director Hu, you have also seen it, and he was still looking for you just now!" Now that he has gone to Luodian, you can rush over to him with your people, he knows how to arrange for you! ”
"Yes!" Xiao Linghu replied, immediately turned around, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Peng Qin stopped him again.
Xiao Linghu turned around.
Peng Qin came to him, straightened his somewhat crooked steel helmet for him, patted him on the shoulder, and then told him: "Ling Hu, you were my orderlys, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you have become a talent. Even if Xiao Huang doesn't recognize you as a son, I will cultivate you! This battle is very dangerous, no matter what, you still have to pay attention to your own safety, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to Xiao Senza now! ”
Xiao Linghu could see that Peng Qin's hesitation when he used him was not because for the Eleventh Division, now he was an outsider; But I'm really afraid that he has three strengths and two weaknesses.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Linghu said: "I'm not strong in other skills, but my ability to escape is still very powerful!" He laughed.
Peng Qin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
