After all, a light machine gun is a light machine gun, and no matter how powerful it is, it is not as powerful as a heavy machine gun.

As Lao Maozi's heavy machine gunner slowly reacted from the sudden fierce firepower of the Liaodong Army, Lao Maozi, who had nine heavy machine guns, once again grasped the initiative on the battlefield and suppressed the counterattack firepower of the Liaodong Army.

In addition, the position that two companies could use was only a trench riddled with holes.

More and more Liaodong troops died because they were exposed to Lao Maozi's heavy firepower.

Of course, under the desperate counterattack of the two companies, especially the lethal fire of the light machine gunners, the Lao Maozi offensive troops were not much better.

Starting from the first hundred paces of the position, with each forward attack, one or even several soldiers must fall.

By the time they finally rushed thirty or forty meters to the front of the formation, more than half of the troops had already been lost.

Of course, the blocking troops of the two companies also lost more than half of them under the suppressive strafing of Lao Maozi's heavy machine guns.

"Brothers...... It's all spelled...... Swore to block Lao Maozi's attack to the death...... "The company commander holding the Mauser pistol, seized the opportunity, quickly shot out all the bullets, and shouted loudly while replacing the pistol with a new magazine.

The desperate efforts of the company commander are a dose of stimulant for the remaining dozens of brothers in the fourth company.

Whether it's a rifleman or a machine gunner, in order to fire more bullets at the enemy in a short period of time, inflict maximum damage on them.

Ignore the heavy machine gun bullets flying overhead, peek your head out of the trench, and fight back with your own life.

The fierce firepower did not disappoint everyone.

The attacking troops of Lao Maozi, who were close at hand, were like ripe wheat, which were cut to the ground by bullets in pieces.

"Retreat...... Heavy machine gun cover, immediately retreat......" In the face of the sudden increase in heavy casualties of the troops, the battalion commander Lao Maozi, who followed the attacking troops at the end, finally gave the order to retreat.

Lao Maozi, who still had more than a hundred people left, quickly withdrew from the battlefield like a tide.

On the blocking position, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army, who successfully held the position, did not give any cheers after victory.

Because, the defenders of one platoon after another, who can still stand up at this moment, are only more than 30 people scattered around, and there is not even a platoon.

As soon as Lao Maozi, who was attacking on both flanks, retreated, a battalion that attacked head-on.

Under the fire counterattack of more than 20 light and heavy machine guns in a company, the old Maozi of a battalion, in the end, only less than two platoons and more than 50 people successfully withdrew from the battlefield.

Looking at the battlefield in front of him, which had finally quieted down, Yang Xingguo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, and the heavy losses of several defenders were sent to Yang Xingguo.

Yang Xingguo's heart was shocked, and he asked Zhou Qiangsheng with an incredible face: "How can the loss be so big...... Two companies, almost all of them were wiped out......"

Zhou Qiangsheng thought for a while, and replied in a heavy tone: "Commander...... There is no way to ......"

"The blocking positions on both flanks were neither machine-gun bunkers nor reinforced...... In addition, Lao Maozi far surpasses us in terms of firepower and troops...... It's already good that two companies can fight like this......"

Hearing this, Yang Xingguo was silent.

After thinking for a while, he said to himself: "We still have two fully formed companies and three disabled infantry companies...... If Lao Maozi still attacks on three sides, we will block them for one more attack at most......"

"I can't continue to fight hard......"

Speaking of this, an unprecedented trace of firmness quickly appeared on Yang Xingguo's face.

Facing Zhou Qiangsheng, he decisively ordered: "You can't continue to defend like this......"

"Hutou Town must give up, our Liaodong Army has not yet had time to fight hard with Lao Maozi."

"Order, the troops are ready to retreat immediately...... We retreated while fighting, and on the way to retreat, we consumed Lao Maozi's troops little by little......"

"Also, there aren't many troops here...... Command the three main battalions, and then one company each, to reinforce us......"

On the battlefield, the Liaodong Army broke through and retreated, and it was impossible for such a big thing to escape the eyes of Lao Maozi's scouts.

As a result, as soon as the Liaodong Army withdrew from Hutou Town on the front foot, Lao Maozi reacted on the back foot.

The remaining more than 3,000 soldiers on the battlefield were huddled together, and they were ordinary with a huge chariot, and they entered the territory of Liaozhong little by little.

During the entire march, as long as the Liaodong Army attacked, Lao Maozi would press the whole army to counterattack.

In a word, no matter how the Liaodong Army provokes, the more than 3,000 old Maozi just do not divide the troops and do not give the Liaodong Army any opportunity to take advantage of......

"It seems that we can only wait for the reinforcements to arrive, concentrate all the troops, and give Lao Maozi a ruthless ......" Looking at the subordinates in front of him who had returned again in vain, Yang Xingguo also had to order with a helpless face.

Zhou Qiangsheng's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked, "Commander...... How are you going to fight ......?"

"Cutting meat...... Concentrate your forces and firepower, cut off a piece of fat from Lao Maozi, and eat him......" Yang Xingguo replied ruthlessly and in a firm tone.

It is definitely a very risky thing to cut meat from Lao Maozi, who has the advantage of strength and firepower.

One is not good, not only will the meat not be cut, but the troops responsible for cutting the meat will be trapped.

However, Zhou Qiangsheng's reminders and worries did not make Yang Xingguo change his mind.

Under Zhou Qiangsheng's eyes full of worry, Yang Xingguo replied mysteriously.

"Battalion Commander Zhou, don't forget, we still have an artillery battalion that hasn't moved......"

"The reason why Hutou Town didn't move is because the old Maozi artillery is waiting for us to open fire...... In the case that the combat effectiveness is far inferior to Lao Maozi, using artillery to counterattack Lao Maozi and bombarding Lao Maozi's artillery is not a battle, it is a death ......"

"It's different here...... Lao Maozi's cannons are still on the official road, and if you want to set them up for a counterattack, within a minute or two, Lao Maozi will definitely not be able to do it......"

"As long as we can end the battle within twenty minutes, the old Maozi artillery will not even have a chance to participate in the battle......"

Twenty minutes to cut off a piece of fat from Lao Maozi's body, and to eat him......

In Zhou Qiangsheng's view, this is definitely a fantasy.

However, in order to block these three thousand old hairs, Zhou Qiangsheng can only fight for it......

After some discussion, Yang Xingguo immediately decided to target two battalions for cutting meat.

After all, Lao Maozi still has more than 3,000 people, and there are so many artillery pieces.

The meat is cut less, and it has no effect on them at all.

However, there was too much meat, and Yang Xingguo had no way to eat it in just twenty minutes.

As a result, the two battalions of eight or nine hundred old Maozi became Yang Xingguo's best choice.
