Chapter 47: Confrontation (4)

Song Erga ran in front of Xiao Linghu in a few arrow steps, and couldn't help but say, holding his hand, it was an old friend who had been separated for many years and had never met.

"A few days ago, I heard that you followed our regiment to fight in Luodian, with Battalion Commander Liang, and we also fought on the periphery of Luodian that day, and I heard about it after the fight, why the hell did you run so fast? Don't leave a single one, how can we, an old friend, see each other too? Song Erga said, habitually punching Xiao Linghu's chest.

Xiao Linghu smiled awkwardly, that day he really wanted to stay and see Song Erga, as well as some other old comrades-in-arms of the original division guard battalion, but after dawn, he still felt that there were too many things, and the time he had been out of the command headquarters was long enough, and he couldn't withstand Yizhimei's constant urging, so he still evacuated after the 65th Regiment took charge of Luodian Town.

"I had an urgent mission to go back to headquarters that day, so I left." Xiao Linghu said, and said, "However, I asked Liang Yan to say hello to you for me that day!" ”

Song Erga smiled and said, "Don't say it, Battalion Commander Liang has praised and praised you, if you hadn't been in their camp last time, pretending to be a devil's soldier and breaking into Luodian, maybe our division would have to pay a lot of price to be able to take Luodian." ”

This is the truth, in fact, that night, the troops of the 11th Division attacking Luodian on the periphery were not able to get close to the edge of the town at all, if it weren't for Liang Yan's battalion blooming inside, I was afraid that they would not be able to take Luodian until dawn.

It's just that now listening to Song Erga opening his mouth and closing his mouth Liang Battalion Commander, he respects Liang Yan as if he is his commander, which makes Xiao Linghu a little unaccustomed. Come to think of it, in the past few years, Song Erga has been a small leader, and he has learned to speak politely, and he is no longer the guy who runs the train with his mouth full.

"Erga, what are you doing here?" Seeing Song Erga and them watching the excitement at the entrance of the village, Xiao Linghu couldn't help but ask.

Erga smiled and said to him: "I said Huzi, don't call me that anymore in the future, I have a big name, called Song Xuewen, if you call me Erga Erga again, let my soldiers listen, it's a shame!" ”

Hearing him say this, Xiao Linghu couldn't help laughing, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, I remember, Company Commander Song!" ”

"Okay, you just call me to learn literature!" He said.

"Yes! Sir! Xiao Linghu joked, but it also made Yizhimei and the others behind him laugh, they may have never seen each other, it turned out that his company commander was so humorous.

Song Erga didn't bother with the question of his name anymore, answered Xiao Linghu's question, and said: "Our division is now from Gucun, and the company commander rushed here with the order we received last night, and now the four regiments are already in place, ready to launch a general attack on Luodian after the three artillery fires." Our second battalion was arranged in the second echelon, so we didn't go to the front, so we stayed near this village, anyway, it's okay, everyone is here to see that our artillery is also powerful! ”

Xiao Linghu couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that Senior Commander Peng is preparing to storm Luodian?" ”

"Yes!" Song Erga affirmed, and at the same time told him: "Our division has two brigades, four regiments, two regiments, one from the east, one from the west, and one regiment from the south, attacking from three sides, leaving a gap in the north for the devils, the task of our regiment is a reserve, where it doesn't work, we will support it!" ”

It's a very simple way to play.

Xiao Linghu knew that the reason why Division Commander Peng specially left a living mouth for the devils was to make them lose their determination to defend to the death, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they could withdraw from the north, so that their division could smoothly occupy Luodian in order to complete the task of the headquarters.

The task given to them by the command was to ask them to occupy Luodian as soon as possible, so as to open up the roads from Jiading to Baoshan and from Liuhe to Gucun. If they use the method of besieging from all sides to attack Luodian, it will only increase the determination of the devil to fight to the death. Peng Qin knew that these Orientals were not local warlords in the country, and as soon as they knew that they were surrounded, they were disheartened and had no desire to fight, and only thought about surrendering. On the contrary, their will to fight is very strong, even knowing that they are surrounded on all sides, they will never retreat.

In addition, the most critical point is that Peng Qin is not confident that he will be able to eat Luodian's dice in one bite, and he also knows that they do not have this appetite with the strength of only one division. It is better to make a cut, the enemy is pressed tight, and will naturally flee through that opening, so that they can achieve the maximum victory with the least casualties.

Perhaps, Division Commander Peng also thought about using the method of encircling three and missing one and intercepting halfway to intercept the retreating troops of the devils, but because the terrain here was not suitable for ambushes, he had to give up.

"How many devils are there in Luodian?" Xiao Linghu asked.

Song Erga said: "Listen to our regiment commander, there is a wing of devils inside!" ”

Xiao Linghu frowned, and immediately understood Master Peng's intentions in arranging this.

Although there are only more than 3,800 people in the Devil's Wing, their firepower is still very sufficient. In their brigade alone, there were two 70-mm infantry guns, four curved infantry guns, twenty heavy machine guns, thirty-eight light machine guns, fifty grenadiers, and more than six hundred and seventy rifles.

And ** divisions like the 11th Division have two brigades and four regiments with a total strength of more than 12,000 people, and the strength is nearly four times that of the devil, but compared with the combat capability, there is really nothing to be proud of. In addition to the difference in the firepower of weapons, the main thing is that the quality of the soldiers is simply incomparable.

Although the 11th Division is equipped with German weapons, it is only equipped with less than half of the troops, and most of the battalions and companies, whether it is the number of mortars or machine gun firepower, are somewhat different from the devils.

If you want to say that, when there is only 50 meters of close combat, the 11th Division may still have a certain advantage, because the 11th Division is the first central descendant of the army, and the squad leader of each squad has a flower machine gun, which is the magic weapon in close combat; And the devil doesn't have such a weapon. The only thing that gives them confidence is that their ability to fight bayonets is very strong, and often three or five ** soldiers can deal with a Japanese devil soldier.

If the battle really has to be fought by soldiers on both sides on the battlefield and win by hand-to-hand combat, in addition to being tragic, there may only be helplessness left.

However, in fact, in the battle for every position, in the end, it is often up to the soldiers on both sides to fight face to face in the trenches and fight cheek to cheek to decide the victory.
