Although the three company commanders were shocked, Xiao Linghu also knew that they must still be unconvinced in their hearts.

At that moment, he first asked the people in the regiment to take six guns from the nine mortars, and then distributed the shells, leaving the part that belonged to him, and letting the regimental staff officers take away the rest.

It's just that for that box of poison gas bombs, Xiao Linghu also stayed in the first battalion with selfish intentions.

The regimental staff officer took the people and led the mortars and shells away with satisfaction, at this time, Xiao Linghu faced the three company commanders under his command and said: "Don't rob the three of you, although there are still three mortars left, but it is not your turn to use them!" ”

Tian Dahai said: "Why? Three cannons, exactly one for one! ”

Xiao Linghu said: "Did our battalion originally have a mortar platoon?" ”

Tian Dahai, Zhou Kun and the others glanced at each other, but still nodded.

Zhou Kun said: "The mortar platoon of our battalion has long been gone, the mortars have been transferred, and those brothers are now divided into three companies." ”

Xiao Linghu said: "Then, today our mortar platoon will be reorganized and under the command of the battalion, and your three companies will return the original mortar platoon brothers to me!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the three company elders were unwilling, but they were helpless, but at this time, they also lost the mind to compete for the shells, and knew that their arms could not twist their thighs, so they had to do so.

The three company commanders were about to leave, but Xiao Linghu stopped them again and said, "Tonight, we still have to fight this battle, everyone hurry back to each company to let the brothers eat well and sleep for a while, I don't know when they will be sent to the front line." ”

Tian Dahai asked: "What is the specific task of our battalion?" ”

Xiao Linghu said: "Our battalion is used as a reserve in the regiment tonight, with the second battalion fighting the main attack and the third battalion assisting. ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and even Meng Fanwei couldn't help but shout: "Yes, although a battalion is a battalion, there must be a degree for everything, right?" If we keep our battalion in charge, why don't the brothers do it? ”

Xiao Linghu glared at him and scolded: "As far as you have a lot of mouths, fighting devils is protecting the family and defending the country, and it is the duty of our National Revolutionary Army. Forget it all about running! ”

Meng Fanwei grimaced and stopped talking.

However, Xiao Linghu knew that this kind of idea might also be the thoughts of many people in the camp, so he still said solemnly: "I don't care what you think, I ask you to give me an unconditional execution of the order as soon as you receive it, otherwise, if anyone can't do it, they have to put it forward as soon as possible, and I can ask Gao Ming!" ”

The three company commanders looked at each other, when Xiao Linghu had just taken over the first battalion, he was still very easy-going, and many things would be discussed with them, but now that two days have passed, he is also familiar with the situation of the first battalion, and his true form is revealed, but it turned out to be such a strong person, much stronger than Liang Yan.

"Yes! We will obey orders! Tian Dahai replied first. The two company commanders in the back also responded in unison.

Xiao Linghu nodded with satisfaction, and then let them leave.

Zhang Shun handed a bowl of rice to Xiao Linghu, Xiao Linghu was not polite, smelling the smell of rice, it was like a hungry wolf, gobbling it up, and everyone on the side looked at him and Yang Gensheng eating, and they all looked at each other, at this moment, this battalion commander who was still acting just now, turned out to be just an ordinary person at this time.

*******************

After eating, Xiao Linghu felt sleepy, and the past few days of running made him look tired, so he closed his eyes while sitting on the chair and quickly fell asleep.

In the headquarters of his first battalion, many people also sat on the ground, leaning against the wall and taking a nap, and everyone hurried to rest.

Nowadays, for these first-class officers and soldiers, being able to sleep well has become an extremely valuable luxury.

There was a sudden explosion, followed by a fierce sound of gunfire coming from the direction of Luodian not far away, which immediately woke up the people who were napping, Xiao Linghu planted himself from the chair and almost fell to the ground, and Yang Gensheng by his side hurriedly helped him.

"What time is it?" Xiao Linghu asked casually.

"It's eight o'clock!" Yang Gensheng replied, on the table in front of him, there was a small clock-in-wind alarm clock, and this small clock was also the only tool in the battalion headquarters of the first battalion to check the time.

"The battle has begun!" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but understand.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the 11th and 67th Divisions attacked Luodian again at the same time, and this town had already become a ruin after an unknown number of artillery fires, and it was this piece of ruins that also became the focus of contention between the two sides.

Because of the lack of firepower, as well as the lack of combat ability, in the daytime when the two sides competed, the Oriental obviously had the upper hand, their long-range firepower and medium-range firepower, are far higher than the firepower, especially their mountain artillery, accurate and ruthless, often make the first position into a sea of fire, had to abandon and retreat.

And their medium-range firepower, in addition to mortars, can be counted as small and flexible grenadiers. To be honest, their heavy machine guns and light machine guns are not much stronger than the ** ones, but they have the presence of grenadiers, and this kind of thing can be operated by a single soldier. When the battle is most intense, their grenadiers will quietly detour back to the dead end of the machine gun strafing, and those grenadiers are experienced and often can knock out the machine gun position with a grenade. And because of this, the losses of the ** machine gunners were also extremely serious.

Therefore, for the vast number of ** officers and soldiers, everyone would rather fight an offensive war than a defensive war. Because in the process of defense, there are many more casualties than in the process of attacking.

**The only thing that can compete with the Orientals is the short and close-range firepower of 50 meters to 10 meters, because the Oriental army is not equipped with semi-automatic submachine guns such as flower machine guns, and they mainly dislike this kind of gun is too bullet-consuming, so they will naturally lose the advantage of fighting in this kind of short-range encounter.

However, if it really has to rush within ten meters, it will form a hand-to-hand battle between the two sides, and in terms of the ability to fight bayonets, and the gap between the physical fitness of ** and the Oriental soldiers, it is a serious imbalance. **The physical fitness of the soldiers is generally weak, and compared with the strong ghost soldiers, there is no strength at all. When it comes to the ability to fight bayonets, two or three ** soldiers often surround a devil soldier, and they can't fight.

Of course, even in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the only advantage is that there are many people.

If there are many people, we can only adopt the method of intensive close combat, although it is helpless, this is a reality.

This is also the reason why ** had to lose his position during the day and regain it at night.
