"All of them!" "Woohoo!"

Grenadiers and mortars began to fire, and miniature grenades and shells began to shoot at the Japanese sappers.

As miniature grenades and shells fell, a huge explosion rang out, and more than a dozen Japanese sappers fell to the ground, either killed or wounded.

Yue Wu quickly began to evacuate along the communication trench to the village with two platoons of his own troops, and the soldiers retreated in a hurry, obviously the troops of the 1st Brigade of the melee were not easy to deal with.

Kunomura Momoyo was still standing on the high ground, and he saw the reaction of the Chinese troops in his eyes, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sun Weiguo's troops are different from other Chinese troops, Sun Weiguo's troops are focused on the village, and told Araki Nanjiro that the fourth brigade should not rush to the village for the time being. Artillery detachments, armored detachments, were ordered to immediately fire at the exposed fire points in the village, and they must be destroyed! ”

Seeing that all the Chinese troops were concentrated in the village, Kunomura Momoyo had a calm expression on his face, and he gave the order again.

Fifteen guns began to fire, shells coming at the exposed grenadiers and mortars in the village, the Japanese artillery was occupying the nearby high ground, and many of them were accurate through the artillery mirrors.

The shells that were coming towards the village seemed to have eyes, and one by one they began to fall on the grenadiers and mortars.

"Boom, boom." Explosions continued to sound, four grenadiers were blown up on the spot, two mortars were also blown into scrap metal, and more than a dozen artillerymen paid the price of casualties.

The two platoons of the first battalion of Yue Wu on the periphery safely withdrew to the village, but this time to cover their retreat, the artillerymen paid a lot of price.

Zhong Jian's two brows were almost furrowed together, the accuracy of the Japanese artillery exceeded his judgment, and the Japanese army's attack method made it a little difficult for Zhong Jian to deal with.

The engineer team of the 1st Brigade of the melee broke the minefield on the perimeter, and Nanjiro Araki commanded four infantry squadrons to quickly begin to enter the warning position outside the village, and after the infantry occupied the warning position, the twelve heavy machine guns of the machine gun squadron and the two Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery squad immediately began to move towards the front.

In response to the special operation in which the troops of the Eighth Route Army were reduced to the interior of the village for defense, Kunomura Momoyo used artillery detachments and armored detachments to cover and destroy houses one by one, and the infantry almost stepped on the artillery points to advance.

With a "boom", a shell fell on the house, and the wooden house immediately exploded a large hole, and after the shell exploded, the house began to collapse.

The two soldiers in charge of a light machine gun in the house died on the spot, and the three riflemen were wounded, and before the three riflemen could move to a safe place, the devil soldiers quickly rushed over, and the sharp bayonet pierced the hearts of the three riflemen without warning, and the three riflemen died on the spot.

"Da Da Da!" After the light machine gun in the house on the side saw the ghost soldiers charge, the shooter immediately pulled the trigger, and five or six bullets killed the two ghost soldiers, but the house where the light machine gun was located was immediately fired by the Japanese infantry guns, and an anti-personnel grenade was quickly hit, and the anti-personnel grenade hit the house through the window.

The grenades began to explode, the house was torn apart, and the bones of the two fighters inside were lost.

In view of the strategy of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 1st Preparatory Regiment to concentrate their troops on the village, turn each house into a fortification, and engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the village, Kunomura Momoyo used 15 guns of the artillery detachment and 12 tank guns of the armored detachment to shell the houses one by one, and they cleared each house one by one, and the troops followed the artillery advance.

Although the progress of Kunomura Momoyo's method was slow, the Japanese casualties were minimal, and the casualties of the Eighth Route Army troops in the village had begun to exceed double digits.

Seeing that the soldiers stationed in various houses paid heavy casualties, but did not bring too many casualties to the Japanese troops, Yue Wu, the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment, immediately found Zhong Jian.

"Regiment commander, we can't continue to fight like this, although we can slow down the Japanese army's march, but I'm afraid the troops are going to run out." Yue Wu said anxiously.

Zhong Jian slowly put down the telescope in his hand, at present, the casualties of the troops in the village have reached more than 100 people, and if the fight continues like this, it will not take a few hours for the troops in the village to be wiped out, Zhong Jian naturally knows that this tactic is no longer dominant.

It's just that Zhong Jian knows better that whether the troops take the initiative to attack or withdraw, it is not possible, if they take the initiative to attack, the Japanese army has armored troops and artillery units to help in the battle, and their own troops will not occupy any advantage, if they withdraw, this is equivalent to letting the Japanese troops directly pounce on Donghui Town, and the consequences will be even more disastrous.

"Yue Wu, do you have any solution?" Zhong Jian looked at Yue Wu and asked softly.

Yue Wu pondered for a while, he looked at the house in front of him, and said softly: "The only way now is to let a part of the Japanese troops enter the village, and we will engage in white-knuckle combat with them, so that the Japanese artillery will not achieve any effect, but this method is very risky, once it is defeated by the Japanese army, the village will fall into the hands of the Japanese army, and when we evacuate the village, we will also be attacked by the Japanese armored forces." ”

Zhong Jian listened to Yue Wu's suggestion, and he couldn't help but show a contemplative expression on his face, Yue Wu's method was indeed very risky.

The Japanese troops are good at white-knuckle warfare, and if they let a part of the Japanese army enter the core position in the village, once the troops cannot control this Japanese army, it is very likely to cause a very passive scene, and if the troops are defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But this is the only way, if it continues to drag, every house will be destroyed by Japanese shells, in that case, the troops will still not be able to escape the end of the total annihilation.

"Commander, now at this time, we can only fight with the devil soldiers." Hong Zhiqiang, the commander of the first battalion of the independent regiment, also said with a firm face.

Zhong Jian looked at Hong Zhiqiang, then at Yue Wu, and he nodded vigorously.

"Give up the fortifications at the head of the village, let some of the devil soldiers come in, Yue Wu, you take your troops to hide, and after the devil soldiers enter the core position, your troops must quickly cut off the contact with the Japanese army, and you can't let all the devil soldiers enter the core position." Zhong Jian immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Captain." Yue Wu immediately agreed.

The troops began to make preparations, and the soldiers stationed in the various houses immediately began to evacuate to the core position along the communication trenches, while the troops of the first battalion of the pre-1st regiment were hidden, and they had to wait for some of the devil soldiers to enter the core position in the village, and then continue to occupy the position at the head of the village and cut off the Japanese army.
