"Woo woo woo ......"

More than a dozen shells flew towards the Japanese artillery position in the middle of the village with a screaming sound, and before Miyamoto Shaosa could react, the leader of the artillery squadron had already changed his face suddenly.

"Baga, it's a mountain artillery, we were targeted by a mountain artillery, and we immediately dispersed and transferred~"

As soon as ......he finished saying "boom, boom, boom, boom" words, a violent explosion sounded around him.

A mortar shell exploded right next to him, and the scorching air wave swept over him, and the whole person was overturned before he could react, and then fell to the ground, losing his instincts.

Sixteen artillery pieces, which fought for a minute before stopping.

In the end, most of the artillery deployed by the devils in the middle of the village was destroyed, and only two mortars were snatched out, almost losing their combat effectiveness!

"Sir, the artillery positions have been devastated, the losses are heavy, the Eighth Route Army outside the village is equipped with at least one mountain artillery battery, as well as infantry guns and mortars, and the number and power of artillery surpass ours!" While the explosion was still going on, a second lieutenant of the artillery squadron crawled over and reported.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Before Miyamoto could react from the shock, an explosion sounded near him.

"Sir, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army has begun to shell our positions!"

"Pay attention to concealment, and be sure to withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army. The 2nd Squadron is ready for battle and ready to join the battle at any time! Miyamoto Shaosa finally reacted and ordered with a calm face.

"Also, report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, we are under attack by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the other side is equipped with mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and a large number of heavy machine guns! Our department is defending Zhanghu Village as a position, holding them back, and asking His Excellency the Wing Commander to dispatch heavy troops to outflank them in a roundabout way and annihilate them all outside Zhanghu Village! ”

Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of heavy machine gun bullets~

The devils who participated in the sweep were all veterans who had been on the battlefield for several years, and they knew very well how to survive the shelling and save their lives.

In one minute, the artillery was prepared, and the artillery in Xiong Changhe's hand fired more than 100 shells directly at the Japanese position.

The earthen wall, which was no more than a meter high, was blown up to the point that there were gaps everywhere.

Many houses behind the earthen walls were also blown down, and the battlefield was littered with debris and shell craters.

"The Eighth Route Army has been killed, immediately enter the position and prepare for battle!" After patting the dirt covering his body, Miyamoto Shaosa, who was closely protected by the guards, shouted.

A squadron of more than 180 Japanese troops survived more than 120 in the end

Quickly get up from the ground, hide behind the rubble, or lie directly in the crater, weapon raised, staring ahead.

"Da Da Da ......"

At this time, a dense heavy machine gun fire sounded outside the village, and the fluttering bullets flew towards the position like rain, and flew backwards close to the little devil's head, so that the devil didn't even have a chance to raise his head.

Miyamoto was again frightened by the heavy machine-gun fire exposed by the Eighth Route Army.

Artillery, heavy machine guns, both in number and firepower, turned out to be more than one of their own infantry brigades. He didn't dare to imagine how many Eighth Route Army troops had gathered outside the village, and how many hidden heavy firepower had not been exposed.

It took a long time to react, and then he gritted his teeth and ordered.

"The Eighth Route Army actually has twelve court heavy machine guns, eight grid Yalu ~ heavy machine gun squadrons, grenadiers, immediately counterattack, give me these heavy firepower!"

"Light machine guns, riflemen, grenadiers, stare at the infantry and hit me, take out their attacking troops!"

Bullets came and went, and the Eighth Route Army, which was constantly attacking, and the Japanese hiding behind the earthen wall were killed.

"Battalion Commander Xiong, the devil's marksmanship is too good, and he used rifles and light machine guns to withstand the attack of one of our companies!" Zhou Tao, the commander of the 1st Independent Battalion, reported with heartache on his face.

Although it is not explicitly stated, the implicit meaning of the words is to withdraw the troops.

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, the firepower of the Japanese army at the entrance of the village increased suddenly, and Xiong Changhe's brows also wrinkled.

"The follow-up troops left in the village by the devil have joined the battle, so that the attacking troops will withdraw immediately, and the other troops will cover."

"The artillery is now firing, the Japanese position at the entrance of the village, the fire is rushing in one minute, and the artillery will be opened immediately~"

In the end, only half of the attacking troops of a company were withdrawn, and the devils guarding the entrance of the village also lost thirty or forty men in the rapid artillery attack because they could not dodge in time.

"Battalion commander, the reconnaissance platoon reports, the strength of an infantry brigade on the left and right flanks, dragging infantry artillery towards us!" A correspondent rushed over to report.

"They're killing very fast!"

Liang Cheng, the instructor of the first battalion, reminded: "Do you want to send the first battalion too, and together with the newly formed first battalion, each of them will deal with an infantry brigade of devils~"

Xiong Changhe shook his head and replied: "It's useless, the devils of the two brigades are only five kilometers away from here, and it won't take long to drag it out!" And even if we drag, we can't take down the little devil in front of us! ”

"The little devil is too cautious, and he is completely stubborn. Without absolute superiority in strength and firepower, it is impossible for us to take out them in a short period of time......"

"Then we have been fighting for so long today, and it will be in vain to lose so many troops!" Liang Cheng asked with an unwilling face.

Xiong Changhe did not speak, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

"There is~"

Soon, Xiong Changhe's frowning brows relaxed.

"Battalion Commander Zhou, I will take away all the artillery companies and heavy machine gun companies in your hands, are you sure that you will block the devil in the village for me. An hour, as long as you hold on here for an hour you can retreat! ”

"Just block the village and don't attack?" Zhou Tao frowned and asked!

"Don't attack!" Xiong Changhe affirmed.

"In this case, I am sure that ~ the artillery of the Japanese puppet army in the village is gone, if I only defend and not attack, I am confident that I will hold the entrance of the village for at least an hour!" Zhou Tao's face slowly became firm, and he replied very affirmatively.

Xiong Changhe immediately shifted his gaze to his old partner Liang Cheng.

"Lao Liang, I know that you were also a military commander, but at that time, our new regiment lacked cadres, so you were transferred to the side of political workers, and this time, you will also go to the battlefield."

"You draw two infantry companies from the first battalion, and now you set out, and by whatever means, let me hold the Japanese infantry brigade coming from the east for at least an hour. An hour later, the troops retreated directly! ”

"It's no problem just to hold them back!" Liang Cheng replied confidently.

"All the other troops follow me, now go to reinforce the newly formed battalion!"

"The newly formed 1st Battalion has drawn a company and set off now, slowing down the march of the Japanese reinforcements to the west. The others will prepare a pocket formation for the devils two kilometers away with me and ambush them! ”

"Battalion commander, do you want to annihilate them all......" Liang Cheng already understood Xiong Changhe's thoughts, and subconsciously asked.

Xiong Changhe shook his head and replied: "I am self-aware, with our little strength and time, trying to kill them is tantamount to ascending to the sky." So, I'm just going to hit them hard and grab something. Having consumed so many weapons and ammunition tonight, it would be a great loss if you didn't grab something to go back! ”
