There were not many Chinese troops in Chengjiazhuang Village, only more than 400 people, and these more than 400 people were exhausted divisions after fierce battles, and many of their comrades-in-arms around them were also killed.

How difficult it is to hold the position in Chengjiazhuang Village, Zhong Jian knows it, Hong Zhiqiang also knows it, and Yue Wu knows it even better, but they don't have any complaints.

As Hong Zhiqiang reported the arrival of the main force of the Japanese army, Zhong Jian began to give battle orders, and Yue Wu, the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment, quickly took out a shell gun, and he ran directly towards the position outside the village.

The weather in April was not very cold, the sky was drifting with a light spring rain, the ground was slippery, and the soldiers on the positions waited for the attack of the Japanese troops.

On a high ground outside the village, the cape-wearing Major General of the First Brigade of the Dogfight, Nagano Village Momoyo, held a telescope and looked towards the village of Chengjiazhuang Village, and the expression on his face was very calm.

After the first brigade of the melee engaged the Chinese troops, they had already achieved the result of annihilating hundreds of troops of the Eighth Route Army, and also destroyed more than a dozen artillery pieces of the new second brigade, although their troops also lost two infantry squadrons and a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, but they still held the initiative.

Moreover, he was able to achieve a one-to-one ratio of casualties in the battle with Sun Weiguo's troops, and so far, only Kunomura Momoyo among the Japanese troops has been able to do this.

Looking through the telescope into the village of Chengjiazhuang Village, Momoyo Kunomura shifted his gaze to other places.

The vast territory was endless, and houses appeared in his sight, and the large area of fertile land made Kunomura Momoyo feel extremely inferior.

It is not easy to see such a scene in the small country of Japan, which is a small place for China.

"Hattori-kun, the weak Shina should not have such a vast land, this land should belong to our powerful Great Japanese Empire." Kunomura Momoyo came out coldly.

Chiaki Hattori, Chief of Staff of the 1st Brigade of the Meleery, looked ahead, and he nodded heavily, obviously agreeing with what Kunomura Momoyo said.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the Chinese troops will not be able to stop our Imperial Army troops at all, and one day, we will wipe out all the resistance forces." Chiaki Hattori said proudly.

Kunomura Momoyo nodded, at this time, the captain of the Fourth Independent Infantry Brigade, Captain Araki Minamijiro, and the armored detachment Morikawa Nakasa, and the artillery detachment Ikuta Nakasa had already come to Kunomura Momoyo, and their eyes looked towards Kunomura Momoyo, they were waiting for Kunomura Momoyo to issue a combat deployment.

"Sun Weiguo's troops are good at fighting defensive wars, and the Imperial Army is good at fighting offensive wars, this time we must let Sun Weiguo's troops know the strength of our Imperial Army. Araki-kun, this time your fourth brigade is here to attack the main attack, and the armored detachment, artillery detachment, and engineer team are responsible for assisting you in the attack. Kunomura Momoyo said coldly.

He looked at the officers and began to give orders for battle.

Unlike the previous offensive deployment of the Japanese army, Kunomura Momoyo did not let the armored detachment lead the infantry brigade to attack this time, this time the main attack was infantry, and the armored unit and artillery unit only served as a covering task, and the fourth brigade of Araki Nanjiro attacked together, and it was an engineer unit of more than 100 people.

SEVEN 94-TYPE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, FOUR 38-TYPE 75MM FIELD GUNS, AND FOUR 38-TYPE 105MM FIELD GUNS BEGAN TO SET UP ARTILLERY POSITIONS, AND THE THIRD INDEPENDENT INFANTRY BRIGADE TRANSFERRED TWO INFANTRY SQUADRONS AND A MACHINE GUN SQUAD TO PROTECT THE ARTILLERY POSITIONS, AND THE REMAINING TROOPS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING THE BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS OF KUNOMURA MOMOYO.

Fifteen Japanese guns were the first to start firing, and one shell after another began to shoot towards the village, and after dozens of shells, Araki Nanjiro began to charge with the infantry.

The four infantry squadrons were divided into four echelons and quickly advanced towards Chengjiazhuang Village, and one infantry squadron at the front also carried more than a hundred engineering units.

At a distance of 500 meters from the head of the village, the Japanese infantry began to alternate covering each other, and the engineer team followed the infantry under the command of a Japanese captain.

More than a dozen sappers began to appear at the forefront, carrying professional equipment, and they were conducting mine detection.

Kunomura Momoyo knew Sun Weiguo very well, and he knew some of the methods that Sun Weiguo was used to, if it was other devil soldiers, he might have rushed over directly.

At a distance of 300 meters from the head of the village, the Japanese sappers began to stop advancing, and the sappers began to lie on the ground, and they carefully dug out the mines one by one.

"Battalion commander, the little devil has been prepared for a long time, the mines we bought have been dug up, how does this little devil know that there are mines there."

A soldier saw the mines dug up by Japanese sappers, and he looked towards Yue Wu with confusion.

Yue Wu, who was holding a telescope to observe, frowned tightly, and the sappers alone took the lead to detect mines, which made Yue Wu realize that this Japanese army was not simple.

"That's a sapper, they have professional equipment in their hands, mines won't work, give me light machine guns and grenadiers, and hit the Japanese sappers first."

Yue Wu immediately gave the order to fight, two platoons of four grenadiers, five light machine guns immediately began to concentrate, and the shooters aimed their guns at the sappers in front.

But before the shooters could shoot, the Japanese light and heavy machine guns were the first to hit this side, nine crooked light machine guns, twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns, bullets covered and fired towards the guard position outside the village, and the soldiers were beaten and could not raise their heads at all.

Yue Wu was completely stunned, he didn't know that Araki Nanjiro had been holding a telescope to observe the situation outside the village, when he saw that the muzzle of a gun was exposed, Araki Nanjiro knew that the Chinese troops must have wanted to shoot at the sappers, and he gave the order to shoot in advance.

At the same time that the Japanese light and heavy machine guns concentrated their fire to suppress the alert position, the engineer team of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat Brigade was all dispatched, and they quickly entered the minefield, and with the use of professional equipment, the mines buried in the ground were excavated one by one, and a safe road was cleared.

An infantry squadron followed closely behind the sappers, and the devil soldiers were getting closer and closer to the head of the village, and they were less than two hundred meters away from the guard position.

"The grenadiers took cover, and the rest of the troops quickly withdrew to the village." Yue Wu immediately gave the order, he knew that the guard position had lost its effect at this time.

Two platoons of four grenadiers began firing micro-grenades for cover, while the infantry quickly withdrew through the communication trenches into the village.

"Commander, the little devil has dug up all the mines." In the village, Hong Zhiqiang came to Zhong Jian to report.

"Grenadier and mortar fire, cover the withdrawal of the troops of the first regiment and one battalion to the village, and the rest of the units are ready for battle." Zhong Jian immediately gave the order.
