Gutou Village is in ruins, the timber of the houses is burning, and the pungent smell of gunsmoke and charred corpses is mixed in the air, and the pungent smell is disgusting.

The commander of the fourth company had been killed in the shelling, and the soldiers were obviously a little flustered after losing their company commander, and only a few soldiers quickly dug up individual bunkers.

The devil soldiers have begun to appear outside Tanitou Village, and the first melee brigade is responsible for attacking Tanitou Village, and the deputy commander of the first melee wing, Araki Nanjiro, is personally supervising the battle in the back, and the captain of the first melee brigade, Hiroaki Ishino, is personally leading the troops to charge, and thousands of devil soldiers are immediately rushing towards Tanigami Village after the artillery wing is over, and the devils of the four infantry squadrons cover each other, and the machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron follow closely.

When it was less than a kilometer away from the Gutou village position, the machine-gun squadron and the artillery squadron immediately began to set up artillery positions and machine-gun positions.

SIX MACQIN HEAVY MACHINE GUNS AND SIX TYPE 92 HEAVY MACHINE GUNS IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO BE ERECTED, WHILE TWO TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS AND TWO 37MM BATTLE DEFENSE GUNS WERE ERECTED ON THE ARTILLERY POSITION.

The various units of the Japanese army in North China will never have such weapons as the first brigade of the melee, not even the elite permanent divisions.

EVEN THOUGH THE NORTH CHINA FRONT COMMAND HAD LONG BEEN PREPARED TO EQUIP THE VARIOUS INFANTRY BRIGADES WITH ANTI-TANK WEAPONS, IN THE END, MOST OF THE INFANTRY BRIGADES WERE ONLY EQUIPPED WITH 20MM ANTI-TANK GUNS, BUT EACH INFANTRY BRIGADE OF THE FIRST BRIGADE WAS EQUIPPED WITH TWO 37MM ANTI-TANK GUNS.

After Sun Weiguo's tank unit showed its skills in Zanhuang County, the North China Front specially organized a tank wing for the first brigade of the melee, and the infantry brigade of the first brigade of the melee had two 37MM anti-tank guns, each infantry squadron also had anti-tank gun grenades, and each infantry squad was equipped with anti-tank magnetic mines.

In order to deal with Sun Weiguo's troops, the North China Front Army armed the 1st Brigade of the melee to the teeth, and the officers and men of their troops were all elite veterans who were transferred.

Captain Ishino Hiroaki of the 1st Mixed Brigade was originally a captain squadron of the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division, and he led his troops to participate in the Battle of Songhu and the Nanjing Operation.

In the Nanjing operation, the infantry squadron commanded by Ishino Hiroaki brought more than 2,000 casualties to the Chinese troops and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, but Ishino Hiroaki was injured in the Nanjing Operation, and he has been cultivating until now before he recovered.

Hiroaki Ishino was a typical Japanese military officer who advocated military force and wanted to rely on military merits to serve the Japanese emperor and expand Japan's territory.

After the artillery wing finished the shelling, Ishino Hiroaki personally led four infantry squadrons to charge, he rushed to the front, and a large number of devil soldiers followed behind Ishino Hiroaki.

"Captain, the Zhinasun Patriotic troops are brave and good at fighting, and their troops are very strong in combat, it is really too dangerous for you to do this."

Seeing that Hiroaki Ishino was always rushing to the front, the captain squadron leader who followed behind hurriedly persuaded him.

"All the Shina troops are vulnerable, they are as weak as ants in front of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, they are the sick men of East Asia, in my eyes, they are like a group of pigs, they are not worthy of being the opponent of the Imperial Army at all." Hiroaki Ishino said in a cold tone.

"Kill, give!" Hiroaki Ishino still didn't retreat, he brandished his saber and shouted loudly.

The devil soldiers behind them rushed towards the position as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Light machine guns and grenadiers constantly provided cover for the infantry, and the devil soldiers attacked very tacitly, and they got closer and closer to the position in Gutou Village.

On the contrary, on the Gutou Village position, an abnormal scene occurred, and when a large number of devil soldiers rushed towards the Gutou Village position, some squad leaders began to advocate retreating.

"The company commanders are all dead, there are already two casualties in the three infantry squads, the grenadier squad has lost two grenadiers, the machine gun platoon only has a heavy machine gun and a mortar, and the little devil has a brigade, it is impossible for us to hold here, let's withdraw quickly." A class leader shouted, his face becoming extremely nervous.

There were less than 50 fighters left on the position, and in the squad leader's opinion, there was no way to fight such a battle.

He wanted to withdraw, he didn't want to throw his life here, he felt that Sun Weiguo was using them as cannon fodder.

"Squad leader, we can't go, if we leave this time, the nameless regiment will be a shame for us for the rest of our lives. If you look at the armband, we all swore at the beginning, and if we advance, we will not retreat, and we will not go. A veteran looked at the squad leader, and he said with a serious expression.

"You fools, they are treating us as cannon fodder, they are taking revenge for the casualties we have brought to their descendants in Guanshan Town, if we don't leave, we will all die here, you stare wide-eyed, there are thousands of little devils, we don't even have fortifications, how can they be their opponents."

A deputy squad leader who was standing next to the squad leader also began to speak, he glared at the fighters and shouted in a stern tone.

"There are too many little devils, let's retreat to the back first, we can't hold here, let's hurry up, if we don't leave, we will all die here." We have to save our lives to be able to better destroy the little devils, what do you say? One of the recruits whispered, his eyes on the approaching ghost soldiers, a look of fear on his face.

"Boom, boom!" The Japanese infantry artillery began to shell the position, and one after another high-explosive shells hit the position.

At this time, the position of Gutou Village was just a flat land, and the Japanese high-explosive bombs exploded on the flat ground, and the shrapnel once again brought casualties to the soldiers.

More than a dozen fighters quickly evacuated behind the squad leader and deputy squad leader, knowing that continuing to stay here would definitely be a dead end.

But there were still a dozen or so fighters who continued to hold their positions, and they had a determined expression on their faces, and they were ready to die with the little devil.

"Da Da Da!" The only Type 92 heavy machine gun in the cannon platoon began to fire, and bullets shot at the devil soldiers.

More than a dozen of the unprepared devil soldiers were killed, but the Type 92 heavy machine gun was soon suppressed by six Japanese light machine guns and seven or eight grenadiers.

The thirty rounds of ammunition had not yet been discharged, and the heavy machine gun shooter and his secondary shooter were lying in a pool of blood.

The devil soldiers quickly rushed towards the position with rifles in hand, and their faces showed hideous expressions.
