Liu Cheng saw it very clearly, although Hao Dabao was smiling on his face, his eyes were full of deep sadness.

It's no wonder that the cavalry of 500 people was killed and wounded in one day, and he himself may not be able to do better than Hao Dabao.

It's not that Liu Cheng has changed, but now the responsibility on his shoulders is heavier.

The lives of thousands of people are tied to him alone, and the slightest negligence is the death and injury of hundreds of people, Liu Cheng does not dare and cannot be impulsive.

And at this time, the battle between the first company, the third company and the bearded bee Hironojin has officially begun.

The three squadrons marched very fast, and it took them only twenty minutes to reach the foot of the northern slope of Phoenix Mountain at a distance of nearly five kilometers.

However, before they could close the distance to the minimum range of the 100-millimeter howitzer, Zang Hao successively "rewarded" Subee Hiroyuki with four shells.

Although the Japanese army effectively reduced casualties after the formation dispersed, the power of the 100-mm howitzer still made them suffer a lot.

three full squadrons, totaling 540 soldiers; But when they reached the foot of the mountain, there were only about 440 people left, and the death toll was close to 100.

A hundred people were broken without a single shot, and Subee Hironojin didn't even have the mood to be angry.

He was originally demoted to the Okamoto Brigade by making a mistake, and now he is in such a big trouble, I am afraid that the fate that awaits him after returning will not be too good, and it is very likely that he will be sent to a military court.

The loss of a hundred men without even seeing the shadow of the opponent was absolutely unacceptable to the Japanese.

At present, he can only save his life by attacking with all his might, completing the sneak attack with the fastest speed and the smallest casualties, and working together with Zhang Haipeng's two divisions to annihilate the independent battalion, and perhaps this military uniform and his life.

Therefore, after reaching the foot of the mountain, Sube Hironojin did not let the troops rest for a moment, and immediately gave the order to attack.

Zhao Dayong on the hillside couldn't wait for a long time, and he was the first to pull the trigger when the Japanese vanguard was less than a hundred and fifty meters away from their position.

At that time, Subee Hironojin and the main army were still 300 meters away, and the reason why a small team was sent to the front was to prevent an ambush.

As soon as Zhao Dayong's gun rang out, the soldiers of a company who had been holding in the trench for more than 20 hours followed closely and pulled the trigger.

The sudden burst of gunfire startled the Japanese soldiers below, as well as Hiroyuki Suwa.

Hiroyuki listened with his ears stretched out for a while, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile.

Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, he could tell that the number of troops on the opposite side did not exceed four hundred at most, which was similar in number to theirs.

But for Subee Hironojin, who was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese soldiers, this team of less than 400 people was not worth mentioning in front of the warriors under his command.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Haipeng's two divisions had been repulsed several times in succession, he would even think that with just one team, he would have been able to completely annihilate the team of less than 400 people in front of him.

Indeed, in his previous life, Liu Cheng had seen with his own eyes that an anti-Japanese team of more than 30 people besieged three devils, but they were completely defeated by the devils, only two of them escaped alive, and the rest were all killed on the spot.

Of course, this is inseparable from the large number of live-fire training of Japanese soldiers during their enlistment training; It is also directly related to the backward and dilapidated weapons and equipment of the anti-Japanese team at that time.

However, the most important thing is that most of the people who joined the anti-Japanese army at that time were ordinary people who had not undergone any training, and they had a large age span.

Under the environmental conditions at that time, men in their fifties were already considered old men, and their physical strength was seriously declining.

Even in the prime of life around forty years old, it is simply not comparable to the Japanese soldiers in their twenties and in good health.

What's more, the Japanese army at that time was known as the world's largest individual combat effectiveness.

Often, those anti-Japanese troops composed of ordinary people had to pay a price of ten to one, or even greater casualties, in order to achieve a small victory.

If you encounter a full squadron of Japanese troops, even a team of thousands of people can only turn around and run.

Even if the courage to not fear death can narrow the gap in strength with the enemy to a certain extent, the huge gap in weapons and equipment is absolutely irreparable.

Even if it is an anti-Japanese team of thousands of people, what is it in the face of a few 75-mm mountain guns, heavy machine guns, mortars and light machine gun grenadiers?

However, the current independent battalion is not such a team, especially the 1st and 3rd companies, most of them are soldiers who have received long-term and comprehensive training and have a certain combat experience, and are not inferior to the Japanese army in terms of firepower, so the dream of Subee Hirono's advance is doomed to be shattered.

In fact, Hiroyuki Subee had already realized that he was dreaming after ten minutes.

The squad he sent out to serve as the vanguard was almost completely wiped out in less than ten minutes, and less than ten of the fifty-four Japanese soldiers escaped alive.

Subee Hironojin's face was very ugly, and he sat behind a big tree with a blank expression, silent for a long time.

The squadron leaders of the other two squadrons approached him with anxious faces and asked how the next attack would go.

Subee Hironojin was not frightened by this wave of attacks of the first company, but once again lost a team that made him not know how to explain.

Of the three full squadrons, only two remain, and the battle has just begun.

What's more, his opponents were no less than the Japanese soldiers he was proud of, and even surpassed in terms of weaponry and accuracy.

In this case, the only thing Hironojin Suwasa can think of is to engage in a white-knuckle battle.

He absolutely did not believe that such a team of civilians would be able to defeat well-trained Japanese soldiers in a white-knuckle battle!

This has also become the last straw for the bearded bee Hironojin.

Although in his heart he didn't want this battle to continue.

Because he didn't dare to imagine what level of casualties would occur between now and entering the white-knuckle battle.

But if he retreats now, he will just fold a squadron and go back in disgrace, and the only way that awaits him is to apologize for his sins with death.

So he could only grit his teeth and choose to continue the attack.

In any case, you must make sure that you win this battle before you can find a way to save your life.

If this battle cannot be won in this situation, then the fate that awaits Subee Hiroyuki is only death; And he is not even qualified to apologize for his seppuku!

In the middle of the night, Subee Hironojin raised his head, looked at the two squadron leaders with cold eyes, and said in a cruel voice:

"Attack! Attack now! ”
