Chapter 798: Stubborn Defense

The Japanese troops in Gutou Village were very stubborn in defense, and they relied on the fortifications built in advance to hold on to the village, and they did not give the death squad a chance to get close to the village.

The artillery squadron of the 1st Battalion of the melee also began to turn its guns, and they aimed their artillery muzzles at Gutou Village, and as soon as any officers and soldiers were exposed, the Japanese artillery would immediately start firing.

Although the first company rushed to the outside of Gutou Village, they encountered stubborn resistance from the little devils, and it was obviously impossible for the first company to quickly capture Gutou Village.

Sun Weiguo ordered the first company to temporarily stop the attack, even if he knew that time was life, but he would not waste the lives of officers and soldiers at will.

Holding a telescope to observe Gutou Village, Sun Weiguo's face became solemn, Gutou Village was blown into ruins, and the little devils built new fortifications on the ruins, these fortifications were very hidden, and they could not be observed at all by relying on telescopes alone.

"Company commander, you and Gao Kang are here to contain the Japanese troops head-on, and I will take a platoon and the guard squad to find a way to detour from the flank and transfer the mortar squad of the machine gun platoon to me."

Sun Weiguo put down the binoculars, and he immediately gave the order, and he decided to attack from the flanks to test the Japanese army's defense.

"Yes, Commander." The commander of the first company immediately agreed.

A platoon of more than 40 officers and soldiers and more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the guard squad followed Sun Weiguo and began to detour towards the flank, Sun Weiguo was carrying a 38-type rifle on his back and a barge gun in his hand, he rushed to the front, Sun Weiguo showed a vigilant expression on his face.

After coming to the right side of Gutou Village, Sun Weiguo ordered the officers and soldiers to stop advancing, and he held a telescope and looked ahead.

"The machine gun covers me." Sun Weiguo shouted loudly, he pinned the barge gun to his waist, and he quickly moved forward with the Type 38 rifle.

A CZECH LIGHT MACHINE GUN FROM THE GUARD SQUAD, TWO CROOKED LIGHT MACHINE GUNS AND A CZECH LIGHT MACHINE GUN IN THE FIRST PLATOON WERE IMMEDIATELY ERECTED, FOUR LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, THREE GRENADIER CANISTERS, MORE THAN TWENTY RIFLES, A DOZEN SUBMACHINE GUNS, AND TWO 60MM MORTARS BEGAN TO BE DISPERSED IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS.

Sun Weiguo moved quickly towards the front with his waist bent, he kept running back and forth left and right, Sun Weiguo ran very fast, and rushed out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

On the Gutou village position, the Japanese had seven light machine guns and six grenadier canisters, and they also had more than 70 rifles.

Because of a call from Momoyo Kunomura, the deputy commander of the first wing of the melee team, Nanjiro Araki, personally led the staff officers of the brigade headquarters to the front line to command the operation.

Considering that the enemy was likely to attack from the front, Nanjiro Araki took the captain squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron and four light machine guns and four grenadiers and more than thirty rifles to garrison the front, while one light machine gun and one grenadier and twenty rifles were deployed on the left and two light machine guns and one grenadier and twenty rifles were deployed on the right.

In charge of guarding the right side was the lieutenant staff officer of the 1st Japanese Dogfight Brigade, who was holding a telescope and carefully looking ahead at this time, with a nervous expression on his face.

He knew he had to hold out until reinforcements arrived, and he knew better how important time was to him, so he was nervous and scared.

"The people of China, it's the people of China, hurry up and shoot." When the lieutenant staff officer saw Sun Weiguo's figure, he immediately shouted.

The devil soldiers pointed their guns at Sun Weiguo, and one bullet after another was quickly fired, and the five devil riflemen all exposed their positions and started shooting.

It is not only the lieutenant staff officer who is nervous and afraid, but these ghost soldiers are also very nervous and afraid, they are worried that Gutou Village will be lost from their hands, even if these ordinary ghost soldiers, they are very clear about the meaning of Gutou Village to the Japanese army.

"Bang Bang!" The little devil riflemen began to shoot, but the two Czech light machine guns immediately launched fire suppression, and the two devil soldiers were caught off guard and killed directly.

The remaining three devil soldiers didn't dare to continue shooting, they immediately hid in the trenches, and didn't dare to show their heads at all.

With a "boom", the Japanese 89-type grenadier began to shoot, and a miniature grenade was launched, which exploded eight meters in front of a Czech light machine gun, and a shrapnel directly cut the shooter's shoulder, and blood began to flow out along the shooter's shoulder.

But the shooter simply ignored it, and he immediately began to transfer with a Czech light machine gun.

The Japanese grenadiers quickly fired a second miniature grenade, which hit the Czech light machine gun shooter exactly where it was staying.

Had it not been for the rapid transfer of the shooter, the grenade would have killed him, and it would have blown up the Czech light machine gun.

"Boom!" THE MORTAR SQUAD OF 60MM MORTARS BEGAN TO FIRE, AND A SHELL WAS FIRED AT THE EXPOSED GRENADIERS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY.

The shell landed behind the Japanese grenadiers, and the leader of the mortar squad glared at the gunner.

The gunner immediately adjusted the angle of fire, and a shell was quickly fired, which hit the Japanese grenadier directly.

The little devil grenadier showed a desperate expression, but when the shell fell to the ground, the shell did not explode, it turned out to be a dud.

The devil grenadier who picked up a life immediately held the grenadier to transfer, and the mortar squad leader who was holding a telescope to observe turned pale.

He looked at the loader angrily, the aggrieved loader lowered his head and did not dare to look at the squad leader, and the shells fired were duds, which he could not have expected.

Sun Weiguo was already lying on the ground, he quickly untied the leggings and wrapped the bleeding thighs, the little devil's marksmanship was very good, and five bullets almost killed Sun Weiguo.

Looking at the position, Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly, the Japanese exposed grenadiers and rifles, but their light machine guns did not shoot for a long time, Sun Weiguo knew that the opponent's light machine gun must be hidden in the dark, if the opponent's light machine gun fire to expose the position, then once the troops attacked, the devil soldier light machine gun would definitely bring great casualties to the troops.

Now Sun Weiguo is less than 400 meters away from the Japanese position, he knows that he must continue to march forward, he also knows that as he gets closer and closer to the position, he will become more and more dangerous, but Sun Weiguo can not have any hesitation, in his heart, his life and the lives of the soldiers are the same.

"With a light machine gun and me, we will take over the commander to attract Japanese firepower." Wang Youhua carried the submachine gun behind his back, and he shouted with a Type 38 rifle.

The light machine gun shooter and the deputy shooter of the guard squad immediately followed behind Wang Youhua, and they quickly marched forward.

The platoon leader and the others stayed where they were, they looked at Sun Weiguo in front of them worriedly, they knew that they couldn't move now, otherwise Sun Weiguo's hard work would be wasted.
