The artillery lined up, and Jiang Tianhong's tense nerves immediately relaxed.

He poked his head out of the trench again, put a devil who had taken advantage of the opportunity to rush forward more than 20 meters into the crosshair, and shouted while shooting.

"The devil's heavy machine gun is over, everyone gets up and shoots, kill the little devil who killed him!"

"Bang...... Da Da Da ...... Bang bang ......"

Riflemen, machine gunners, all hurry up and shoot, using their fastest rate of fire to shoot the bullets.

The devil attack force, which was only equipped with three crooked handles, was not an opponent at all, and was blocked fifty or sixty meters in front of the formation, and there was no way to move forward, not to mention, and more than 20 people were killed and wounded in just one minute.

At the foot of the mountain, the Japanese squadron leader had a solemn face, and the arrogant and confident smile at the beginning had disappeared a few minutes ago.

The strength of the blocking force of the Eighth Route Army far exceeded its own judgment, and it inflicted heavy damage on its own heavy machine gun squad when it came up.

Fortunately, the artillery team did not disappoint him, and a burst of artillery counterattack knocked the opponent silent.

But at this moment, the second squad that was attacking head-on had an accident again.

The Eighth Route Army on the mountainside blocked the position, and seven or eight light machine guns fired together, and the imperial army, which was close to the position, had no way to hide, and could only be swept into a sieve.

A fully formed infantry squad was beaten to the point of more than twenty people, lying on the ground, and fought back with difficulty.

The blocking fire of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside was too fierce, they were not opponents at all, and people kept being shot, screaming and turning into corpses.

"Sir, the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside is too strong, and the attacking troops have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and if they don't retreat, everyone will have to explain to the above!" The vice-captain frowned and reminded.

"Wait a little longer!" The squadron leader was also saddened by the casualties of the troops, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he made a bold decision.

"Isn't there still two heavy machine guns in the heavy machine gun squad? Immediately set up, cover the shooting, relieve the pressure of the second squad, and by the way, attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the first squad to attack on the flanks should be almost in place."

"They have two combat detachments of more than 30 imperial troops, as long as they enter the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, the victory is still ours!"

This was the only hope for the squadron leader to break through the mountainside guerrilla defenses.

"Hey!"

The vice-captain also shifted his gaze to the left flank of the position, expecting the gunshots to ring.

"Da Da Da ......"

The gun went off, and the two people did not show a smile on their faces, but were very dignified.

The squadron leader, in particular, turned pale with a brush, his hopes were dashed, and he shouted loudly.

"No, listening to the gunshot, it was heavy machine gun fire, a small team did not have a heavy machine gun, and the heavy machine gun must be from the Eighth Route Army."

"The Eighth Route Army has deployed heavy machine guns and ambushes on the left flank of the position, and we have been fooled, and a small group is in danger."

"Order the attacking troops to retreat immediately, retreat now! Heavy machine guns and mortar cover! ”

After anxiously waiting, the second squad finally retreated, and the gunfire on the battlefield stopped.

The leader of the second squad walked in front of the squadron leader with his head down: "Sir, the position has not been taken down, there are still 19 warriors left in the entire squad, and more than half of the casualties are punishable!" ”

The squadron leader did not speak with a calm face, and his eyes kept on the flank of the battlefield.

He's waiting for news from Team One.

The Eighth Route Army had set up heavy machine guns in front of a small team, and it must have been waiting for them to kill them.

Once they were all wiped out, more than half of the entire squadron would have suffered casualties.

"Sir, a small team has withdrawn!" The deputy captain of the artillery suddenly shouted.

Then I saw a soldier running towards him, followed by less than ten soldiers, and he was very embarrassed like a lost dog.

"It's over!" These two words instantly popped up in the squadron leader's mind, and his solemn face slowly turned into despair.

Jun Cao rushed over and reported with a painful face: "Sir, we have been fooled! ”

"The Eighth Route Army arranged a platoon and two heavy machine guns on the left flank of the position, and only fired when we rushed closer, and the troops were directly killed by surprise, although we fought back desperately, it was still not an opponent, and the squad leader was also killed!"

"The entire first squad is left with these people behind you, sir, you must avenge us and kill those Eighth Route Army!"

"The warriors died too miserably, the heavy machine gun fire in front of them, the grenades on the heads were smashed down, and we didn't even have a chance to counterattack before the bombed people turned over on their backs, and many warriors didn't even leave a corpse, they were directly blown to pieces!"

"Revenge?" A look of embarrassment slowly appeared on the squadron leader's face in pain and anger.

He also wants revenge, but he has no capital for revenge now.

The deputy captain could see at a glance that the squadron leader was in a dilemma.

"Sir, let's talk about revenge later!"

"We still have less than two squads left, and there are only two heavy machine guns left, although the mortars are intact, but the Eighth Route Army also has artillery, and our mortars can only fire at the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and there is no way to provide artillery support to the infantry!"

"And the strength of our opponent Eighth Route Army is very strong, they exposed at least three mortars, two heavy machine guns, nearly ten light machine guns and more than two platoons of infantry in the battle just now!"

"Although the number of troops is on par with ours, there are more light machine guns than us, and they are on the defensive side, so they have the advantage of terrain!"

Several of the squads all bowed their heads and didn't say a word.

I don't know how long it took for the squadron leader to break this atmosphere and make a decision with a solemn face.

"The troops will immediately retreat and return to the county seat!"

"Even if our little force breaks through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in front of us, the remaining troops will not have the strength to continue to reinforce Hongquan Village!"

"Rather than let the warriors die here in vain, it is better to come back for revenge later. Pull all the artillery over and blow up the Eighth Route Army on the mountain! ”

In the position of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside, several platoon commanders sat around Li Hao, and their faces were also very ugly.

"Captain, I didn't fight well, you punish me!" Jiang Tianhong, the leader of the platoon, was the first to stand up.

"We retreated too slowly, we were blown up by the devil's shell, and the soldiers did not hide well during the battle, resulting in many soldiers being killed and wounded by the devil! After statistics, only 13 people were removed from the platoon, and the machine gun was also blown up! ”

Chen Bing, the commander of the firepower platoon, stood up the second: "I didn't fight well!" ”

"The comrades are not trained in place, and when they fight devils, they will only focus on shooting, and they don't know how to dodge at all!"

"Only 11 of the more than 20 people in the seven machine gun crews were withdrawn, and four machine guns were also destroyed, and more than half of them were lost!"

Dong Xulin, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, finally stood up: "I didn't fight well either!" ”

"The devils are too ruthless, they are completely desperate to rush towards our position, and the cooperation between each other is not very good."

"We're all about to be killed, and we're still dying and going to our position to throw five or six grenades!"

"The reconnaissance platoon suffered nine casualties, and the heavy machine gun squad suffered four casualties!"

"Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred!" Li Hao replied with a calm face.

Then he ordered: "In the future, we must try to avoid going head-to-head with devils and fighting such a tough battle, especially before the troops have fully formed their combat effectiveness!" ”

"Also, after this big battle, all troops will have to go through a training camp!"

"Although many soldiers claim to be veterans, the gap between them and the little devils is not ordinarily big. We must narrow the gap between everyone and the devil through intensive training! ”
