At 8:55 a.m., it was a hot August morning, and the troops of the 1st Company and the Machine Gun Company were advancing rapidly on a small road leading from Suochun Town to Gutou Village.

Wearing a gray military uniform and wearing a major general's collar badge, Sun Weiguo walked in front with his guard squad, Sun Weiguo was holding a Type 38 rifle, his steps were brisk, and his expression was serious.

The 1st Company and the Machine Gun Company followed, and the death squad had already set out, with the mission of retaking Gutou Village.

The Japanese troops were preparing for a second round of attacks, and after the first round of attacks of the first wing of the melee was stopped by the unknown regiment, Hideaki Okamoto, the commander of the Osa wing, suspended the attack, and after some discussion with the staff officers of the wing headquarters, they decided to ask for artillery support again.

After the artillery wing of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese melee received Hideaki Okamoto's request, the commander of the artillery wing, Ikuta Kumi, immediately ordered the artillery unit to prepare for firing.

Forty-four guns were again aimed at the town of Lockspring, and the Japanese artillerymen, who were carrying ammunition shirtless, would again launch a covering shot at the town at nine o'clock.

The three melee brigades of the first melee team began to rest for the time being, and the devil soldiers all looked for a shady place to eat breakfast.

The sun is scorching, and these devil soldiers don't want to move now, they are quickly recovering their strength for the next round of attacks.

Hiroaki Ishino, the leader of the 1st Mixed Combat Brigade, was here in Tanigami Village at this time, and his brigade headquarters was established here, and after the troops stopped attacking, the deputy wing commander of the 1st Mixed Combat Brigade, Nanjiro Araki, immediately summoned the officers of the 1st Mixed Combat Brigade to discuss the next battle.

Nanjiro Araki attaches great importance to this operation, and he knows that whether or not Kunomura Momoyo's defense plan can succeed this time depends on whether they can conquer Suoharu Town.

"The defensive positions set up by the Chinese troops in the town of Suochun are very strong, and they rely on many heavy weapons to defend them, and it will be difficult for us to break through their positions. Therefore, in the next operation, the artillery units will concentrate on bombing the left side of the defensive position in China, and as long as there is a gap here, we must break through quickly. ”

Nanjiro Araki pointed to the map, he gave instructions in a serious tone, and Hiroaki Ishino, the leader of the Shaozo Group, and the five squadron leaders nodded one after another.

The Japanese officers were actively discussing the next plan of action, but they did not know that a death squad had already begun to set off along the path.

At 8:59 a.m., on the road leading from Suochun Town to Gutou Village, Sun Weiguo made a gesture to stop advancing, and the guard squad following him stopped one after another.

Wang Youhua, the leader of the guard squad, immediately made a gesture to the troops behind him to stop advancing, and the troops of the first company and the machine gun company also stopped, and the soldiers began to hide in the wild grass beside the road.

"Bang Bang!" At the same time as the troops stopped advancing, the sound of light machine gun fire sounded, and bullets quickly hit Sun Weiguo.

Before Sun Weiguo could figure out where his opponent was, he was almost hit by a Japanese light machine gun bullet, and he rolled into the ditch on the side, so that he could safely avoid the Japanese light machine gun attack.

Wang Youhua saw that Sun Weiguo was almost hit by a Japanese bullet, and he wanted to rush over with a Thomson submachine gun, but Sun Weiguo immediately gave him a hidden gesture.

After seeing Sun Weiguo's concealment gesture, Wang Youhua hid himself, and then the soldiers of the guard squad also quickly hidden.

"Commander, we ...... now" Wang Youhua came to Sun Weiguo and asked, and before he could finish speaking, the Japanese artillery wing began to shoot.

One cannonball after another began to fly overhead, and the cannonballs began to explode one after another near the town of Lockspring, and a huge explosion sounded, and the ground seemed to tremble.

Deep craters began to appear on the flat ground, and shrapnel flew in all directions.

Some of the sun-dried grass began to burn, black smoke rose, and the air around them became even hotter.

The Japanese artillery wing continued to fire, while the 4th Squadron of the 1st Japanese Dogfight Group looked vigilantly to the right.

The light machine gun deployed on a high slope had spotted the Eighth Route Army, but the other party was very alert and evaded the light machine gun fire.

Because the captain squadron leader went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, the captain of the third squad of the fourth squadron took the initiative and sent a squad to immediately go over to check.

Thirteen devil soldiers immediately began to attack Sun Weiguo, Gutou Village was occupied by the Japanese troops, the Japanese artillery wing naturally would not shell here, and the ghost soldiers' artillery unit focused on shelling Suochun Town and Suochun Village and Lilin Village, which were not captured by them.

Shells continued to pass overhead, and huge explosions began to be heard from behind, and Sun Weiguo could imagine the pressure on the Nameless Regiment.

However, Sun Weiguo was not in the mood to pay attention to where the Japanese artillery shells landed for the time being, and four devil soldiers with rifles had begun to appear in Sun Weiguo's sight.

Sun Weiguo didn't see where the devil soldiers were hiding just now, and before he had time to take a closer look, the little devil hit directly with a shuttle of bullets.

When you are attacked by an enemy and you can't spot your opponent, it is most sensible to stay where you are.

Now that the little devil took the initiative to send it to the door by himself, Sun Weiguo naturally would not be polite, and he immediately gave a combat order to the guard squad.

He was waiting patiently, believing that behind these four devil soldiers, there were still ghost soldiers who did not appear.

The four devil soldiers began to carefully spread out the attack formation, they quickly moved forward, and when they were only three hundred meters away from Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo still did not give the order to shoot.

"Bang bang." The four devil soldiers began to shoot indiscriminately in all directions, and then they immediately lay on the ground, trying to attract the hidden Eighth Route Army to shoot.

But Sun Weiguo remained unmoved, and he ordered the officers and soldiers to wait calmly and not to shoot at all.

After lying on the ground and waiting for a while, without waiting for the Eighth Route Army to counterattack, the four devil soldiers glanced at each other, and they continued to move forward.

At this time, a devil soldier began to break away, and he opened a distance of fifty meters towards the front and the three devil soldiers behind, and the devil soldier in front became a sharp soldier, and he was obviously cannon fodder.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the devil soldiers began to look around, with puzzled expressions on their faces, and even they felt that their squad leader had not seen the flowers, and there were no officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route here at all.

The nine devil soldiers who had been hiding behind also began to appear, and the four ghost soldiers in charge of light machine guns were walking in the rear, and the light machine gun team leader held a telescope to look around, and as long as there was any movement around, he would give the light machine gun shooter an order to shoot.

"Captain Wu, there are no Eighth Route officers and soldiers around at all, is the squad leader dazzled?" The light machine gun leader put down the binoculars, and he said in confusion.

At this time, all thirteen devil soldiers in a squad were exposed to Sun Weiguo's sight, and then Sun Weiguo immediately began to give the order to shoot.
