According to the regulations, the first platoon of the company-level unit of the guard flag corps is headed by an officer, while there are no special regulations for the other platoons.

In other words, if the number of officers in the other platoons is sufficient, it will naturally be commanded by all officers, but if the number of officers is insufficient, it can only be filled by non-commissioned officers.

Xiaohu belonged to the period of great army expansion, because the number of officers was insufficient, and he was transferred to the position of platoon commander as a non-commissioned officer.

At the same time, because his platoon commander was a decorated combat hero and always took the lead and played an exemplary role, his platoon became the top unit in their battalion.

As a fist unit in the battalion that dares to fight and can win, it will naturally be valued by the officers at higher levels, and will receive certain special care on the premise of not violating the regulations.

His platoon, after many meritorious contributions, became a special reinforced platoon, and the number of people was a little more than that of an ordinary infantry platoon, reaching the scale of more than 60 people.

You must know that an ordinary infantry platoon generally has an establishment of more than 40 people, and it is enough to see how well the superiors take care of Xiaohu, a force that can fight.

Their reinforced platoon of more than 60 people, so far, there are only more than 40 intact comrades-in-arms left, and 18 comrades-in-arms have been killed or wounded, which can really be regarded as heavy casualties.

Fortunately, only 3 of them were martyrs who died on the spot, and the others were at least lucky enough to survive to the military hospital, and the follow-up can only depend on the methods of the military doctor and Chen Xin.

However, although they suffered heavy losses, because the Huaxia Army had killed and wounded a large number of enemy personnel in this battle during this period of time, and had won many tactical victories in a row, the morale of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army was very high.

Of course, when more than 30% of the casualties are killed, the will to fight can still be maintained, and it is not only because of the above reasons.

In addition, there are also the revolutionary feelings that the Huaxia Army has established since its establishment - the oppression of overthrowing the barbaric slavery system of Houjin; defend the fruits of victory; The idea of building a better country.

In fact, it is these ideological differences that make the will of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army far more tenacious than that of the Houjin Army, which was born by burning, killing and looting, and can endure the high proportion of casualties and still dare to undertake new combat missions.

Now, the rammed earth wall built by the Houjin army at the forefront has been occupied by the Huaxia army, and without the cover of that rammed earth wall, the Huaxia army has the conditions to harass the location of the Houjin camp.

Today, the Huaxia Army changed the habitual practice of launching attacks in the second half of the night, which had been cultivated for more than a month, and moved into action shortly after dark.

The Huaxia Army specially selected a group of fighters who could maintain a certain degree of mobility at night and divided them into 20 night attack detachments, which had different scales because of the different units deployed.

However, the number of each night raid detachment is roughly maintained at a scale of between 150 and 200 people, and almost every night raid detachment is maintained at the company level.

Before it got dark today, these 20 night attack detachments were arranged to stand by on the rammed earth wall defense line on the Houjin side, and after dark, the command sent an order to attack.

Xiaohu's platoon and another infantry platoon under the 11th Infantry Brigade were mixed together, and then a special agent platoon was specially reinforced, with a total of about 160 people.

Xiaohu, as a hero who has won medals many times, also serves as the commander of this detachment because of the particularity of the guard flag team.

Now, in this area of the rammed earth wall, there are 19 other night raid detachments that want to carry out today's night harassment of the Houjin army camp at the same time as them.

Although he has won victories for so long, Xiaohu, as a non-commissioned officer who has been killed all the way from the illiterate front-row recruits on the battlefield, has not been carried away by the victory.

Although he has always maintained the habit of leading the charge like an officer of the Huaxia Army, being able to survive so many long battles and play a good record shows that he is not a stupid boy who only knows how to charge.

He still maintained a keen observation of the situation on the battlefield, and he was not too optimistic about the effect that such a small-scale night attack could achieve today.

Because he knew that the Houjin army had fought a big defeat and lost so much grain, grass, baggage, and personnel, and that the current level of vigilance must have reached a very high level, and it may even be unprecedentedly high.

In this case, most of the night raids launched will be discovered by the Tartar sentinels, ambush troops, scouts, night guards, and so on.

If there were more men and horses dispatched, then when they were discovered by the Tartars, they could quickly change the night attack to a surprise attack, and in that case, they might be able to achieve unexpected results.

However, now, according to the information obtained by Xiaohu, there are only 20 night attack detachments they dispatched tonight, and the number of people in each detachment does not exceed 200 at most.

Such a small number of people, after being discovered by the Tartar sentinels, even if the night attack was forcibly changed to a surprise attack, it would not be able to pose any substantial threat to the Houjin army, which numbered more than 100,000.

If the infantry detachment rushes into the enemy's camp, as long as the Tartars can maintain order in the camp, guard their respective posts, and rush to the enemy's infantry detachment in the enemy camp with torches in the dark night, it will easily be surrounded by the enemy's superior strength and unable to get out easily.

But if you don't force your way into the enemy camp after being discovered, you can only choose to retreat, or, at most, put a few shots outside the enemy camp and listen to the sound, but what's the use?

Xiaohu didn't understand, didn't the boss always ask for as much of the Jin Army's living force as possible, especially the population of the Jurchen Eight Banners?

But tonight's night raid is obviously impossible to achieve such a purpose, so why do such a thankless task?

However, Xiaohu remembers very well that at the pre-war war briefing meeting, the battalion deputy said very firmly, saying that tonight's action was intended to continue to shake the military morale of the Tartar side.

If it works well, this may make them more susceptible to crashes during their retreat.

Xiaohu really didn't understand what the battalion deputy said before, why launching such a meaningless night attack would shake the military heart of the Houjin army.

After receiving the order, up to this point, Xiaohu has been constantly thinking about this problem, the attack is about to be launched, and he still hasn't been able to figure it out.
