"Let me introduce you!" Brigade Commander Ye walked to the door of the Dragon King Temple, stood under the horse lamp, and said loudly to the people in the courtyard.

Everyone turned their attention to Ye Gao at the entrance of the temple, as well as Hu Congjun and Xiao Linghu beside him.

"Everyone should know this, he is the chief of staff of our division, Colonel Hu Congjun! Now, he is acting as the commander of your 65th Regiment! Ye Gao first introduced Captain Hu.

Head Hu arched his hand to everyone and said hello.

Then, Brigade Commander Ye pointed at Xiao Linghu again, and said to everyone: "This, I think you should also know someone, the last time I cooperated with your battalion and won Luodian, Captain Xiao Linghu!" He will act as the commander of your battalion. ”

Below, there were many whispers from people, many people did know Xiao Linghu, but most of them were still unfamiliar with him.

After Brigade Commander Ye finished his introduction, he said to Xiao Linghu: "Battalion Commander Xiao, you come to tell you a few words." ”

"Good!" Xiao Linghu stood on the top of the steps, and like Hu Congjun, he hugged his fists at all the people, which was regarded as a salute, although they were an army, but the rules on the rivers and lakes sometimes worked very well.

"Hello brothers!" Xiao Linghu said: "I was temporarily appointed by Division Commander Peng to act for your battalion, I know that your brothers fought very well, and they were able to drive the devils out of our position, and they fought to the periphery of Luodian, and the sacrifice was also great, but the battle is still going on, and we can't rest yet." Please rest assured, although I am an outsider, I am also a veteran of the 11th Division, and here, I promise my brothers that as long as I am the commander of any battalion, I will be in charge of the brothers' day, and if I dare not say anything else, I will definitely let the brothers live to victory! ”

The soldiers below were talking to each other, and some of them were very appreciative of Xiao Linghu's words, because there was no commander who would guarantee that everyone would survive, although they also knew that this guarantee was an empty promise, but they also felt as if there was a kind of hope.

Of course, most people still don't think so.

Xiao Linghu motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said, "Here, I also hope that my brothers can obey my leadership and strive for greater victories!" ”

The crowd quieted down, Ye Gao said a few words to Xiao Linghu, and then left with Hu Congjun, leaving him in the camp of the first battalion.

Walked into the Dragon King Temple, there is a relatively large space in this small temple, the Dragon King in the hall sits on the altar, the mud is ugly, but it is red, red, green and green.

The offering table has now been moved out and used as a makeshift bed, on which someone had just slept on. It was only because of Xiao Linghu's arrival that he was free.

There is only one deputy company commander named Tian Dahai and a few platoon commanders left in the first battalion. To Xiao Linghu's surprise, their grassroots cadres had lost so much, and this team did not collapse, which could not but be a miracle.

Later, he learned that during this period, Liang Yan, the battalion commander, had done a lot of work, and on the battlefield, he gathered every unit that had lost its leadership to his side, and temporarily appointed the company commanders, platoon commanders, and squad leaders of each company, platoon, and squad, and brought most of them back to Heqiao Village safely.

Tian Dahai told Xiao Linghu about the battle of the first battalion on the western periphery of Luodian.

"At that time, the devils were also charging at us, our company commander died, and the battalion commander took the second company to detour from the flank, and then the devils were repulsed! The battalion commander was also wounded at that time. As he spoke, he said with great feeling: "Those devils' cold gunners are really powerful, and they judge accurately, so they know who is the commander among so many people." After the death of the company commander of the first company, their entire company immediately collapsed, otherwise, they would not have let those devils break through from the front! ”

Xiao Linghu listened carefully to his narration, but he also knew that in broad daylight, it was not difficult for those devil snipers to find the best commander from the crowd. ** commanders generally follow the soldiers, holding rifles that are not used by ordinary soldiers, either box guns or flower machine guns.

"Perhaps, let's kill it at night, it will be much better!" Xiao Linghu speculated.

At night, due to the lack of light, no matter how powerful the devil's snipers are, it is impossible to tell where the ** commander is, and all they can play is to strike at the opponent's heavy firepower crew, and shoot at machine gunners and stormtroopers armed with flower machine guns. And there is a rule in the 11th Division that those who hold flower machine guns in their hands are either squad leaders, platoon leaders, deputy squad leaders, or deputy platoon leaders, which can be regarded as the most basic commanders, equivalent to the devil's military cao.

"At night?" Tian Dahai was stunned for a moment, immediately shook his head, and said affirmatively: "No!" ”

"Why?" Xiao Linghu asked.

Tian Dahai said: "Camp Commander Xiao, you have just arrived, and you don't understand the situation yet. Our battalion had to march all the way last night, rushing from Yang Xing's side, and before they could take a breath, they joined the ranks of attacking Luodian today, and the brothers were tired, tired and hungry, and they didn't even have a good meal. Today's battle, but since you became soldiers, you have never fought a tough battle, and so many people have died, even those of us who are alive, are also very uncomfortable. It's hard to get here to rest, and if you go to war again at night, the brothers will have to vomit blood! ”

Thinking about it, what Tian Dahai said was also true, although Xiao Linghu was a little unwilling, he still nodded, and also understood the distress of these soldiers, and said to him: "Okay, then rest first tonight, and then talk about it tomorrow depending on the situation." ”

In fact, both sides have calmed down after fighting for a day, even around Luodian, there are only occasional gunshots, but in the direction of the 66th Regiment to the east of Luodian, there are still some battles going on, but they are not as fierce as during the day.

Both sides seem to have a good heart, and they are taking a short rest.

Xiao Linghu called the acting company commanders of the other two companies in the first battalion at this time, these two company commanders were temporarily promoted by Liang Yan from the platoon commanders below, and they had no experience, so they had always been submissive to Xiao Linghu's words, and they didn't dare to be a little slack.

Xiao Linghu didn't want to make a bigger adjustment to the first battalion at this time, after all, he was just an agent, and he would have to leave when Luo Dian took it down, or when Liang Yan could come back.
