The soldiers of the 2nd Squadron of the Japanese Army continued to march, and they were getting closer and closer to the trenches.

Nine grenadiers and nine light machine guns belonging to the 2nd Squadron were scattered all over the place, and after finding a suitable hiding spot, they immediately began to fire on the trenches.

Grenades continue to explode in front of and behind the trenches, and sometimes even fall directly into the trenches, causing casualties among the soldiers.

The nine light machine guns formed a crossfire network, and the dense rain of bullets came towards the trench, and Sun Weiguo felt bullets flying over his head.

When the devil soldiers were only two hundred meters away from the position, the devil soldiers all lay on the ground, and under the command of the Japanese squadron leader, the second squadron concentrated its fire to carry out a fierce attack on the trenches.

Four mountain guns and four infantry guns also stopped at a distance of three hundred meters from the trench, and eight guns raised their black holes and aimed them at the trench.

After the second squadron carried out a burst of heavy fire, the devil soldiers, led by their respective squad leaders, rushed towards the trench.

At the same time, eight guns were ready, and as soon as a firing point in the trenches was exposed, they would immediately start firing.

At the same time as the Japanese troops charged, the twelve mountain guns of the artillery brigade began to suppress the village, and they also knew that the defenders' mortars were in the village.

Sun Weiguo slowly lowered the binoculars, he looked towards the village, and he began to worry a little about the situation of the mortar company.

You must know that the next battle cannot be fought without the help of mortars, if there is no mortar shooting, the fire points here will be destroyed by the Japanese artillery.

Looking at the eight artillery pieces that were almost under his nose, Sun Weiguo felt very uncomfortable.

If he had a mountain artillery company, Sun Weiguo would definitely have knocked out the close-range artillery immediately, but unfortunately he didn't.

The county brigade was armed with the weapons and ammunition of the captured Japanese army, and their current equipment was even better than that of the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army.

However, compared with the Japanese army that was armed to suppress, the county brigade still has a clear gap, especially in artillery.

Looking at the eight artillery pieces of the Japanese army, Sun Weiguo's eyes were shining.

If the Japanese army did not have so many troops and no puppet cavalry, Sun Weiguo would definitely rush over directly and capture all these artillery.

"Woo Woo ......"

At the same time that Sun Weiguo sighed, the mortar company in the village, at the risk of being destroyed by the Japanese mountain artillery, began to fire shells.

One by one, the shells accurately attacked the Japanese artillery, and one shell fell directly on a Type 92 infantry gun, which was directly blown up, along with several Japanese artillerymen near the infantry gun.

Seeing the destruction of the infantry artillery, Sun Weiguo's emotions were very complicated, he was both happy and helpless.

Glad that the infantry artillery was destroyed, and the light and heavy machine gun fire on his side could be fired.

He had no choice but that if this artillery could be captured intact, the county brigade would have one more artillery.

THE MORTAR BATTERY WAS STILL FIRING, AND AFTER FIVE MINUTES, THE MORTAR COMPANY DESTROYED TWO INFANTRY GUNS, TWO MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND CAUSED DOZENS OF ARTILLERY CASUALTIES, AT THIS TIME THE JAPANESE COULD CONTINUE FIRING, ONLY ONE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUN WAS LEFT.

BUT THE CASUALTIES OF THE MORTAR COMPANY WERE VERY HEAVY, AND WHEN SUN WEIGUO HEARD THE SIGNAL CORPS REPORT THAT THERE WERE ONLY FIVE OUT OF NINE 82MM MORTARS, HE FELT THAT HIS HEART WAS DRIPPING BLOOD.

Especially when he heard that there were more than a dozen artillery casualties, Sun Weiguo almost didn't stand still and fell into the trench.

In the war, the power of artillery and machine guns was the pillar of defense, and the machine gun company and mortar company expanded by the machine gun squadron were Sun Weiguo's treasures.

Sun Weiguo was very nervous when he heard that he had lost four mortars, and Sun Weiguo was so distressed that he was about to shed tears.

After all, as long as there is a mortar, the shells it fires can greatly reduce the defensive pressure of the soldiers in the trenches.

"Zhao Wei, your heavy machine gun will solve the artillery for me first." Sun Weiguo quickly gave the order.

At this time, he can no longer rely on the mortar company, if he continues to let the mortar fire, the county brigade will have to account for this artillery battle.

The Japanese artillery brigade was equipped with the Type 94 mountain artillery, which had a long range and great power, and mortars were no match for them at all.

Zhao Wei, the company commander of the machine gun company, originally fought in a frontal defensive position, but because the right position was the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, Zhao Wei came here with the second platoon of the machine gun company.

The first platoon of the machine gun company was equipped with Makqin heavy machine guns, and the second platoon was equipped with captured Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns.

Hearing Sun Weiguo's order, Zhao Wei personally came to the fortifications, he held the handle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and looked at the Japanese artillery.

At this time, several Japanese artillerymen were hiding behind the artillery, and they also began to adjust the angle and assist the artillery brigade in shelling the village.

The mortar company had taken them by surprise before, and before they could reload the shells, the mortar company continued to fire hundreds of shells.

Although they still have two mountain guns and two infantry guns, because of the heavy losses in artillery, several artillerymen can only use one mountain gun to shoot.

With a "boom", a blasting shell was fired by the Japanese artillery, and the blasting bomb exploded in the village.

At this time, Zhao Wei began to shoot, and heavy machine gun bullets hit the artilleryman.

The two artillerymen who did not dodge in time were immediately beaten into a sieve, and the other three Japanese artillerymen hurriedly lay on the ground.

The heavy machine guns stopped firing, and the three Japanese artillerymen couldn't help but glance at each other, and they decided to immediately reload the shells and shell the exposed heavy machine guns.

But just as the three Japanese artillerymen were on their feet, a grenade quickly fell beside them.

With the grenade exploding, three artillerymen were killed, leaving only the artillery alone on the ground.

Because they had to deal with Japanese artillery, the soldiers were never given the order to shoot, but the second squadron of the Japanese army entered a distance of 80 meters from the trench.

The Japanese grenadiers and machine gun shooters immediately advanced with their weapons, but Sun Weiguo, who was inside the trench, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Now that there is no threat from artillery, Sun Weiguo can order light and heavy machine gun fire.

Looking at the Japanese troops advancing cautiously in front of him, Sun Weiguo did not hesitate to give the order to shoot.

As Sun Weiguo gave the order to shoot, three heavy machine guns, three light machine guns, three grenadiers, and thirty rifles began to fire.

Six light and heavy machine guns immediately formed a crossfire network, and the thirteen Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were killed on the spot.
