Although there was no battle in the position of the first battalion that Xiao Linghu was in charge of, in the direction of Luodian, the guns and cannons rang out.

The soldiers of the first battalion were cleaning up the battlefield, Xiao Linghu listened to the sound of guns and cannons in the direction of Luodian, but he was a little worried, although their battalion exceeded the task assigned above, but this did not mean that this battle could be won.

Yang Gensheng ran over and reported to him: "Battalion commander, we have a total of twenty dead and fifty-three wounded, not counting the minor wounded who can move freely!" ”

Xiao Linghu frowned, recalling the whole process of the battle, where was there a problem with his command, thinking about it, he still miscalculated the devil's counterattack, he didn't expect that the tank could have two machine guns with such powerful firepower, and among the seventy-three casualties, more than half of them should have been hit by the devil's tank. When encountering this kind of tank battle in the future, we must be cautious. It was his light enemy that caused so many casualties.

"What about the casualties of the devils?" Meng Fanwei couldn't help but ask.

Yang Gensheng said: "There are thirty-two corpses of devils. ”

"Isn't there anything alive?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but ask.

Yang Gensheng shook his head and said, "When they were cleaning up the battlefield, they stabbed each devil with a bayonet, saying that even if they lived, they couldn't survive." ”

Xiao Linghu nodded, and ordered: "Carry the wounded back to Panjiazhuang, find a stretcher team to carry them to the rear field, count the dead, dig a pit and bury it!" ”

"What about the corpses of those devils?" Yang Gensheng asked.

"Dig a big pit and bury it!" Xiao Linghu said.

Yang Gensheng then ordered to run away.

Xiao Linghu's heart was a little strange, when he took over the first battalion, the actual number of people reported was 372 people, and after this battle, he lost 73 people, and now even 300 people are not satisfied, but the battle here is endless, I don't know how many more days it will take, and when the battle is over, I don't know how many people will be left?

Seeing the sun setting, the battle on Luodian's side became more and more intense, and the sound of guns and cannons became one after another, without stopping for a moment.

Xiao Linghu knew that at this time, in addition to one regiment of the 11th Division, there were also two regiments of the 67th Division, a total of three regiments, plus three regiments of the 11th Division on the periphery, and two regiments of the 67th Division. But even so, it still couldn't stop the attack of more than 10,000 devils.

Tian Dahai ran over from the road, came to Xiao Linghu's side, and asked, "Battalion commander, we have all been fighting for a day, and my brothers' stomachs have long been hungry, and they are all asking when they will be able to eat?" ”

Xiao Linghu said: "After cleaning up the battlefield here, let's go back to Panjia Village immediately, the cooking class must have already cooked a meal, waiting for us to go back!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Tian Dahai became happy, but he was still a little worried and said: "I'm afraid that after a while, Commander Hu will let our battalion go to Luodian to support." ”

Xiao Linghu was stunned for a moment, this situation is really possible, now that he sees the appearance of Luodian, it is clearly in a stalemate, I am afraid that Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the Eighteenth Army, is not comfortable at this time, it must be that wherever there are still troops, they will fill in Luodian.

Since the main force of the devils has already hit the middle of Luodian Town, which has now become the main battlefield of this battle, the other troops fighting outside Luodian will definitely have idleness, and they will inevitably be transferred to Luodian for support operations.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yang Gensheng running over with a herald from the regimental headquarters, Yizhimei happened to come to Xiao Linghu's side at this time, and said to Tian Dahai: "You kid is a crow's mouth, whatever you say, no, the herald of the regimental headquarters is here, and he wants us to go to Luodian for reinforcements!" ”

Tian Dahai also had an ugly face, staring at the herald of the regiment headquarters in a daze, and he couldn't wait to step forward and pinch him and bury him in the soil.

This herald ran in front of Xiao Linghu, saluted, and immediately said: "Battalion Commander Xiao, the regiment commander asked your battalion to rush to the western position of Luodian immediately to reinforce the sixty-first regiment!" ”

Without waiting for Xiao Linghu to speak, Yizhimei shouted, "I said what's wrong, right?" Not again! ”

Tian Dahai frowned, but he didn't dare to answer.

Meng Fanwei couldn't help but scream: "I said that you won't let us live?" You go back and tell Regiment Commander Hu that all the people in the first battalion are gone, and there are only a few bare-pole battalion company commanders left, do you want to go? ”

The herald looked at Meng Fanwei in a daze, and then at Xiao Linghu.

Among these people, whether it is Tian Dahai, Yizhimei, or Xiao Linghu himself, even if he resists the orders of his superiors, he does not dare to refuse so blatantly. But Meng Fanwei is different, after all, he is the son of the deputy chief of staff, and he followed Xiao Linghu to the battlefield, which can be regarded as very remarkable, where does he care about the orders of a small regiment commander.

The herald was in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Xiao Linghu hurriedly said: "Don't listen to him, I'm still the commander of the first battalion, you go back and tell Commander Hu, let's clean up this place, and we'll set off soon!" ”

Meng Fanwei shouted: "Why is it that the wheel of good things is not us?" At the beginning, we fought so hard here, no one said to come to our aid, they just watched from behind; When we finally got rid of the devils, and the devils hit them, they want us to help them fight, is this a wish we can fight to the death? ”

"Xiao Meng!" Xiao Linghu shouted violently: "What are you talking about?" See what you've become? Have you read the military school in vain in the past few years? Don't you even understand how to obey orders? ”

If others said this about him, Meng Fanwei would follow the words, but in front of Xiao Linghu, he didn't dare to say a word, this may be because after a few years of military school, he unconsciously developed a habit and only listened to Xiao Linghu's words.

"There you go! That's what Captain Hu said! Xiao Linghu told the herald.

The order was answered, and he ran away quickly.

On the battlefield, although there are already communications troops pulling telephone lines from the headquarters to the battalions and companies to carry out rapid communications, many times they still rely mainly on the messengers to run errands back and forth, and at any time, the equipment is not as reliable as that of people.

As a matter of fact, when the 1st Battalion set up its position in the cotton fields on both sides of the road in Panjia Village, it was impossible for the 65th Regiment to pull telephone lines to this side, and there was no time to pull telephone lines for them.

Seeing that the herald was gone, Yizhimei couldn't help but ask, "Company commander, do we really have to go to Luodian?" ”

Xiao Linghu glared back at him, and told him in an unquestionable tone: "An order is an order, can it be discounted?" As he spoke, he said to Yang Gensheng: "Let each company leave a few people to continue to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people will gather immediately and go to Luodian for reinforcements!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yang agreed and ran away.
