With several machine-gun bunkers reinforced by Li Zhilong with cement, Zhou Qiangsheng's battalion has repelled Lao Maozi's two-round battalion and first-level attacks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the battlefield that had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, more than 200 remnants of Lao Maozi, the corpses left on the ground, had just withdrawn from the battlefield. The screech of shells across the sky rang out over the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, a very violent explosion sounded from the position of the first battalion.

The second company that was holding the position, although it reacted at the first time...... However, almost a platoon of troops was still drowned out in artillery fire.

Coupled with the losses in the battle, the second company, which had just rushed to the battlefield, had to face the tragic end of losing more than half of its troops......

The loss of troops made Zhou Qiangsheng very heartbroken.

However, in order to defend Hutou Town, Zhou Qiangsheng could only grit his teeth and order, no matter how heartache he was.

"Order the third company to replace the second company through the traffic trench...... Draw a platoon from the recruit company to replenish the second platoon ......"

"Also, the front-line position has also killed four or five hundred old Maozi...... After telling the commander of the third company, as soon as he repelled Lao Maozi's third attack, he blew up the machine gun bunker for me and abandoned the position......"

Soon, Lao Maozi's third round of attack began.

Under the cover of more than a dozen heavy machine guns, more than 500 old Maozi easily rushed to a position 100 meters away from the defense line.

Perhaps it was the lesson learned from the fiasco of the previous offensives.

More than 500 old Maozi did not attack straight forward.

Instead, he fell to the ground at the same time, and by crawling forward, he approached the position of the Liaodong Army little by little.

In this way, more than a dozen heavy machine guns covered by Lao Maozi's fire could continue to fire, and the Liaodong Army's position was enveloped with dense bullets.

Looking at Lao Maozi, who is getting closer and closer to him, even if he knows that to counterattack now is to block the muzzle of Lao Maozi's heavy machine gun.

The third company could only rush into the position and counterattack with light and heavy machine guns and rifles.

On the battlefield where the guns are constantly sounding, the only thing that can make the third company take advantage is the three machine gun bunkers.

Three heavy machine guns in the bunker continuously reaped the lives of Lao Maozi's attacking troops.

As for the light machine guns and riflemen, they had to be exposed to the heavy fire of Lao Maozi to counterattack.

Just when the two troops were fighting desperately with the lives of soldiers on the battlefield, Yang Xingguo, who took the reconnaissance company first, finally arrived at Hutou Town.

"How's the situation......" Walking into the headquarters, Yang Xingguo did not greet him, and asked bluntly.

"Very bad......" Zhou Qiangsheng did not hide it......

"Although four or five hundred old Maozi were killed and wounded, more than half of the first, second and second companies were also lost...... If it weren't for the addition of a platoon from each of the recruit companies, the two companies would have been disabled......"

"In addition, before Lao Maozi attacked, I adopted Li Zhilong's idea and concentrated the machine gun to give Lao Maozi a firepower attack, eliminating many Lao Maozi...... Plus the thousands of people who died here, there should still be thousands......"

Yang Xingguo nodded and replied: "There are thousands of old Maozi to accompany the funeral, and those brothers who died in battle died unjustly......

Afterwards, Yang Xingguo directly raised the telescope and began to observe the battlefield where the guns were still ringing.

After ten minutes of fighting, Lao Maozi, who was crawling forward, had already rushed to the position fifty meters in front of the third company.

There are more than 500 old Maozi, and at this moment, there are still more than 400 people left.

However, under the strafing of the three heavy machine guns of the machine gun bunker, Lao Maozi's casualties have become bigger and bigger.

Of course, the riflemen and light machine gunners of the third company, who were exposed to Lao Maozi's firepower, also suffered losses.

Almost two squads of troops fell in the trench, their lives and deaths unknown.

At this moment, a long-lost cannonball scream suddenly reached Yang Xingguo's ears.

"Could it be that Lao Maozi wants to burn some jade and stones!" Yang Xingguo was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qiangsheng's voice reached Yang Xingguo's ears......

"Commander...... It's not good, the old man is going to retreat......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Xingguo, who was still holding a telescope, clearly saw that more than 400 old Maozi, like the sea water at low tide, quickly retreated to the rear.

And at this moment, the sound of violent shell explosions also began to sound on the battlefield.

Yang Xingguo clearly saw that the brothers of almost one platoon in the Third Company were instantly overwhelmed by artillery fire because they had no time to retreat, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

At this time, the only thing that made Yang Xingguo feel fortunate was that the three heavy machine guns hidden in the dark fort were not affected by the artillery fire.

Three thick heavy machine guns were almost chasing the old man's buttocks.

In just over ten seconds, Lao Maozi once again dropped dozens or hundreds of corpses.

When the fierce artillery fire continued to ravage the positions of the three companies, Yang Xingguo, who was frowning, had already put down his binoculars.

Facing Zhou Qiangsheng, he asked with a solemn face: "Battalion Commander Zhou, Lao Maozi's first two attacks were like this from time to time......

After getting Zhou Qiangsheng's affirmation, Yang Xingguo said directly: "No...... Problematic ......"

"You think, if Lao Maozi doesn't retreat from the attack just now. After accidentally injuring some people by artillery fire, he took advantage of the situation to attack. Even if you can't deal a devastating blow to the third company, you can still capture the position of the third company......"

"But...... Lao Maozi didn't ...... It is better to lose a few dozen people in the retreat than to occupy our positions......"

Zhou Qiangsheng was stunned suddenly, and asked with an incredible face: "Impossible...... Commander, Lao Maozi made such a big move, and he lost more than a thousand people, it is impossible not to attack us......"

Yang Xingguo shook his head and replied: "I didn't say that Lao Maozi's attack was fake...... I just feel that Lao Maozi didn't do his best to take down Hutou Town, where we are located......"

Speaking of this, Yang Xingguo continued: "Let's not discuss this for now...... Maybe I'm thinking too much...... If I look at it more, I don't believe that the old man in front of me will not expose his feet......"

Because of Yang Xingguo's sudden arrival, the first battalion that was ready to give up the front-line position did not give up the position.

The first company, which had just replenished a recruit platoon, directly replaced the third company, preparing for Lao Maozi's fourth attack.

However, Yang Xingguo did not expect it.

After the artillery attack ended, Lao Maozi not only did not continue to attack, but retreated two miles and began to camp in the village, putting on a posture of preparing for a long-term battle.

As the battlefield subsided, the night began to cover the entire battlefield, and the three companies that reinforced Hutou Town were also in place
