The sound of guns and cannons in the north gradually eased, Xiao Linghu knew that the battle over there was about to end, and it was not the 66th Regiment that could stop the enemy, according to Hu Congjun's words, Commander Peng's strategy was to block the troops layer by layer, and there was no need to repel the devils, as long as the time could be dragged out for a long time, so that it could not reach Luodian before dark, it would be a victory.

If it is really impossible to delay, then it is necessary to first secure the living forces, withdraw from the road, spread out in all directions, and wait until the evening to recapture the position.

Fighting against devils in broad daylight is not the strength of the **, the aviation in the sky of devils, the artillery is accurate and ruthless, plus they have chariots to open the way, if they fight hard, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Xiao Linghu took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was only eleven o'clock in the morning, and when the devil came over in the morning, it was already more than nine o'clock, and the sixty-sixth regiment worked hard, and only fought with the devil for two hours, and then it couldn't resist the enemy.

Xiao Linghu didn't know how long he could fight the enemy with this battalion, since the troops of the 66th Regiment had been fighting for two hours, then he couldn't lag behind the friendly troops too much, so he would fight for two hours!

It's just, think about it, they really dragged the devil for two hours, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, if the devil took a rest and wanted to build a bridge over the Panjia River, then at most an hour, how could they enter Luodian before three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was dark until after seven o'clock in the evening, and their offensive operations had to begin at eight o'clock in the evening.

Now for ** and the devil, both sides are in the time of fighting for endurance, and if anyone can't support it, maybe someone will quit.

Putting away this pocket watch, Xiao Linghu couldn't help but think of Tachibana Junlai again, and vaguely remembered what the two had said when they were separated from him, at that time, Tachibana Jun asked him, if they met on the battlefield, what would happen to him? At that time, Xiao Linghu replied very simply, that is, you can't be soft when you meet the enemy; At that time, Tachibana's answer was that he would hesitate.

And this time, he really met Tachibana Jun on the battlefield, and Tachibana Jun did hesitate for a moment, and was not able to stab the bayonet into his body; But what about Xiao Linghu? Xiao Linghu himself didn't know why he let Tachibana Jun go at that time, he said it so decisively at the beginning, and when this moment came, the decision was so difficult.

Perhaps, that's why people are called people, right? Human beings have feelings, and if they have no feelings, they are no different from animals.

With a "boom" explosion, the cement highway bridge connecting the north and south banks of the Panjia River turned into gravel and fell into the river. They have been guarding the bridge, according to Xiao Linghu's idea, if the devils can't break through the defense line of the 66th Regiment, then this bridge doesn't need to be bombed; Only when the 66th Regiment could not resist the enemy, he had to blow up the bridge.

Yizhimei accepted the task, and the strange thing was that Zhang Shun also ran to see the excitement, and the two people quarreled as soon as they met, but this time they were reconciled.

"The devil is coming!" Yizhimei told Xiao Linghu.

Xiao Linghu nodded, and from the cotton fields south of the river, he could see many black dots on the highway moving in this direction.

He thought for a moment and said to Zhang Shun: "Shunzi, your marksmanship is good, the devil must build a bridge to cross the river, you just hide in the cotton field, it is good to be able to fight a few more devils." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shun nodded, he looked at the other side of the river, and then looked at the cotton field here, the cotton here is very high, and when you enter it, you will not go over the head if you squat down, if you lean over it, you can't see people on the other side of the river at all.

"It's a great place to shoot!" Yizhimei said: "Why don't we call all the people in the camp who are good marksmans and give them cold guns along the river?" ”

After thinking about it, Xiao Linghu felt that Yizhimei's words did have some truth, nodded his head, called Meng Fanwei to his side, and asked him to find the company commanders of each company, find more people with good marksmanship, and put cold guns on the devils in the cotton field.

Meng Fanwei responded, Xiao Linghu told Zhang Shun and Yizhimei a few words uneasily, and rushed to the highway to see the situation of Tian Dahai and people planting mines.

At this time, the road had been dug up by the soldiers with pickaxes and shovels, and the asphalt was not thick and discarded everywhere, and people would feel diaphragm when walking on it, and if it was a car with wheels, it would definitely not be able to walk. However, the devil's tank is tracked, which should not have much impact.

Tian Dahai was leading people to bury the German mines they had received from the regimental headquarters in the middle of the road, most of these mines were triggered, and only three were towed mines.

The so-called trigger type, that is, the one that explodes when you step on it; The towed type, on the other hand, requires a line to fire the mine, and if it is not pulled, it will not explode even if it is stepped on.

Tian Dahai has already planted several trigger-type mines, and now they are being buried with a towed type, pulling out a nylon thread and pulling it into the cotton field.

When Xiao Linghu saw it, he couldn't help but shout: "Lao Tian, you can't be like this mine, this line is exposed outside, and the devils can see it!" ”

Tian Dahai asked, "Then how do you say to get it?" ”

Xiao Linghu said: "Bury the thread and pass through these dug up asphalt blocks, so that it cannot be exposed." ”

Tian Dahai said: "What if the devil's chariot comes over and arrives?" ”

Xiao Linghu said: "Isn't that right? It's their chariot that blew up! ”

Tian Dahai scratched his head, thought for a moment, and nodded. In order to prevent these threads from being really rolled up by the tracks of the devil's chariot, they couldn't be pulled, so he really carefully threaded the threads through the two cemented asphalt blocks, even if the tracks of the devil's chariot rolled over, they would only roll to the two asphalt blocks, and it was impossible to roll the thin threads in the seams, and they could be pulled at that time.

The three traction mines were carefully buried on the road, and their leads passed through the gaps in the tarmac, through the grass on the side of the road, and into the cotton fields, where they were not visible from the outside.

Xiao Linghu checked it, and then asked Tian Dahai to gently pull it in the cotton field, and felt that there was no problem, so he put his mind at ease.

Soon, this box of ten mines was laid, and after the mines were laid, Xiao Linghu specially told his several company commanders that no one was allowed to step on the road again, in case he made a mistake and injured himself.

The rumbling sound in his ears became closer and closer, and he raised his head from the cotton field and looked at the north bank of the Panjia River, where the smoke and dust had already risen, and the large army of the devils had passed through the defense line of the 66th Regiment in Lujia Village, and finally arrived.
