More than 170 people went out, and less than 30 people withdrew, and they were basically the puppet army that ran last when attacking.

What's more, the only remaining heavy weapons of the troops, three armoured vehicles, were left outside the village and were devastated.

"Sir, what are we going to do next?" Seeing Watanabe's gloomy and terrible face, looking at the wreckage of the armored car outside the village without speaking, the adjutant asked in a low voice!

"No way!" A flash of helplessness flashed across Watanabe's face.

"Losing armored vehicles, I can't think of any other way to stop the actions of the independent battalion, now we can only take one step at a time and hold out until dawn at any cost!"

"As long as the brigade headquarters promises that our planes can arrive on time, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory, and at least we can exit the independent battalion base alive and return to Lingqiu County!"

"Order: All troops enter the position, strengthen vigilance, as long as there is a Eighth Route Army outside the village to peek out of the trenches, there is no need to shoot directly without an order, kill them, and try to reduce the next defensive pressure of the troops."

"The puppet army continues to build the Bunker!"

"Without armoured vehicles and artillery, these bunkers have become our only chance to hold the village, and the more we build before the independent battalion attacks, the better the chance of holding the village."

At five o'clock in the morning, the five trenches were finally dug less than fifty meters from the earthen fence.

If you continue to dig forward, the grenades thrown by the devils from the earthen fence can be smashed into the trenches, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Li Hao decisively ordered the troops to stop and began to deepen and widen the sortie positions and build light and heavy machine gun firing positions.

At six o'clock in the morning, all the trenches were completed.

"It's still more than an hour before dawn, and it will take more than an hour for the devil plane to kill it, which means that we have to end the battle and evacuate the battlefield within three hours." Li Hao looked at all the company commanders in front of him and analyzed.

"It seems that there is still plenty of time, but when it comes to each battle node, there is very little time."

"I ask that the attacking troops must break through the defense line built by the Japanese puppet army relying on Tuweizi within half an hour, enter the village, and fight with them in the streets."

"An hour and a half to end the street fighting, annihilating the Japanese puppet army. Clean up the battlefield in half an hour, retreat in half an hour, and end the battle. ”

"I order: 1st Company, 2nd Company, 3rd Company, Battalion Commander Peng, your 1st Company, 2nd Company, as the main attacking force, to attack the village directly from the position under our feet."

"The guard company is on standby in ambush on the east side of the village, the independent company is ambushing the west side of the village, and the first battalion and three companies are ambushing the north side of the village!"

"Once the main attack force enters the village, there will definitely be Japanese puppet troops who will leave the village from these three directions to break through with luck, and your task is to kill these breakthrough troops."

"Let's get started!"

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

Twenty mortars broke the silence of the battlefield, and a rain of twenty shells smashed around the earthen fence, and the smoke and fireballs from the explosion soon enveloped it.

After firing more than 200 shells in a row, the heavy machine gun fired.

"First company, follow me into the village and avenge the sacrificed comrades!"

The commander of the first company, Chen Bing, was the first to cross the trench under the cover of a heavy machine gun with a box gun in his hand.

More than a hundred fighters, in infantry squads, formed a huge skirmish line, covering each other and fighting their way out of the trenches.

"Da Da Da ......"

The independent battalion's attack was too close, and Watanabe originally wanted to take out more of the Eighth Route Army by showing weakness.

But he can't care so much now, holding the village until the plane comes is his most important task now, otherwise everything is empty talk, and his life will not be saved.

Therefore, as soon as he saw the independent battalion fighting out of the position, he ordered the light and heavy machine guns in the bunker to open fire, directly blocking the attacking troops in the attack position, and not giving them a chance to get close to Tuweizi.

Of course, Watanabe also kept an eye on it.

All machine gun bunkers were not used at once to prevent accidents.

Despite this, seven or eight light and heavy machine guns were fired at the same time, and the company still suffered heavy casualties.

More than 20 fighters were beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground, their lives unknown.

Chen Bing, who was in the lead, was also shot, and a light machine gun bullet made a hole in his thigh, and he fell to the ground heavily, blood gushing out of the wound like a fountain.

"Get down, everyone get down, the enemy still has hidden machine-gun fire points." Chen Bing pressed on the wound to stop the bleeding while enduring the pain coming from his thigh and shouted.

Li Hao obviously didn't expect this scene, more than 200 shells smashed over, and there were still so many light machine guns left behind the earthen enclosure.

With a raised eyebrow, he ordered: "Heavy machine guns strengthen firepower, suppress the blocking fire of the Japanese puppet army, cover the company and continue to attack!" ”

The heavy machine guns fired for a full half a minute, and the fire from the earth enclosure did not weaken.

At this time, the thick smoke around the earth enclosure had dissipated, and looking at the position of the light and heavy machine gun fire on the earth fence, Li Hao immediately understood.

"The devil's machine guns are all hidden behind the earthen enclosure, they have carved a shooting hole in the earthen enclosure, and they shoot directly at our attacking troops from the firing hole, no wonder our heavy machine guns can't suppress them!"

"The artillery will open fire immediately, and the earthen fence can block the bullets that we fired from the front, but it can't stop the shells falling from the sky!"

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

The explosion soon sounded behind the earthen fence.

Unexpectedly, the light and heavy machine guns that fired through the firing holes did not have a dumb fire, and the fire was as fierce as ever, and the flying bullets still suppressed the company in front of the position, unable to advance or retreat.

"Battalion commander, mortars don't seem to be useful either? Could it be that the devil built a dark castle behind the earthen fence? Hong Linfeng reminded with a frown.

But soon this idea was rejected by himself: "It shouldn't be possible, the devil occupied the village for one night, the time is too short, it is impossible to build a dark fort, and there are no raw materials for building a dark fort in the village!" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Li Hao suddenly realized and shouted.

"It must be a bunker!"

"Without raw materials, the little devil can't build a concrete bunker, but he can build a civil fort."

"Don't forget, there are more than 200 households in the village, and Watanabe can find a sufficient number of planks from the village. First, build a bunker out of planks and pile sandbags on top of it, as long as the planks and sandbags are thick enough to block the mortar shells at all! ”

"Don't forget, we used this method in the mountains when we were guerrillas, and unless several mortar shells hit a bunker in a row, we can't destroy it at all!"

"It seems that we still underestimate Watanabe, this old devil, when we were digging trenches and shortening the attack distance, he was not idle, and he quietly built so many dark forts in the village, which caught us off guard!"

"What a means, worthy of being a veteran of the main force!"

Hong Linfeng was anxious, and immediately asked, "Battalion commander, what should we do?" ”

"The machine guns are hiding in the bunker and shooting at us, and we can't kill them, so the attacking troops can't only attack at the bullets they shoot!"

"In this case, the casualties of the attacking troops will definitely be very large!"

Li Hao sneered and replied: "Mortars can't destroy those dark forts, so we use mountain artillery, don't forget that we still have a mountain artillery company idle." ”

"The earth fence is just a half-meter-thick earthen wall, with the power of mountain artillery, it is easy to destroy them with direct fire at close range!"

"If the earth enclosure is gone, the dark castle built by the little devil relying on the earth enclosure will be an ornament."

"Order Yuan Qingfeng of the mountain artillery company to open fire immediately, bombard me at the shooting hole, and blast all those machine gun bunkers into slag for me!"
