In the village, many courtyard gates were set up by soldiers with grenades. As long as the army pushes open the gate of the courtyard, then they will definitely be blown up by the hanging grenades. Not only the gate of the courtyard, but also the courtyard wall was dug out by the soldiers with countless shooting holes, and the roof, courtyard wall, and tunnel were completely effectively connected by the soldiers with various tools, so that the soldiers could come and go freely, and better eliminate the living force of the devils.

Finally, two days passed, and the first and second battalions rushed to Gongcun ahead of schedule and joined up with the third battalion and the regimental headquarters that were building fortifications in Gongcun.

"Report to the regimental commander, chief of staff, 1st battalion, 2nd battalion were ordered to come and report." As soon as the rest of the troops was arranged, the two battalion commanders rushed to the regiment headquarters impatiently, wanting to accept a new task.

"Hehe, come in, look at your spring faces, you must have achieved good results in the past two days. How about it, first of all, I will report on the losses and results of the troops in the past two days. Seeing the two battalion commanders who walked into the headquarters, the regiment commander Xie Guohua nodded with satisfaction, and then said jokingly.

"Hehe, regimental commander, there is not much success. Let me start with the situation in our battalion! A total of four main attacks were launched against the devils, one was a long-range strike by a heavy machine gun platoon, the other three were patrol squads ambushing the little devils, and the rest were some small fights. According to preliminary statistics, in the past two days, a total of more than 200 little devils have died at the hands of our battalion, and at least 100 little devils have been injured. However, our battalion also paid a certain price, of which 34 were killed, 12 were seriously wounded, and 65 were slightly wounded. The first battalion commander replied with a smile.

"Regiment commander, the first battalion has achieved such good results, and our second battalion is also impatient with mine warfare. Until now, the main force of the little devils is still swaying slowly on the highway at least 10 miles away from here? In addition, our mines have also caused a lot of casualties to the little devils, and the preliminary estimate is that there is a squadron of soldiers. In short, our 2nd Battalion successfully completed the tasks assigned to us by the regimental headquarters. The second battalion commander said not to be left behind.

"Okay, very good, both of your battalions have achieved very good results, and when the time comes, I will definitely ask you for credit to the divisional headquarters. In this way, it will take at least two hours for the little devil to get here. Chief of Staff, immediately call the commander of the third battalion and the commander of the artillery company to the headquarters for a meeting, let's arrange the specific tasks of each unit in the street battle after the arrival of the little devils" After listening to the report of the two, the regiment commander Xie Guohua happily ordered.

"Yes, regimental commander, I'll go and inform the commander of the third battalion" The chief of staff nodded and walked out of the temporary headquarters. After a while, the chief of staff came to the headquarters with the commander of the third battalion and the commander of the artillery company.

"Comrades, everyone is here, sit down. Now all the troops of our Reading Force Regiment have gathered in Gongcun, and the Fifth Division of the little devil is now less than two hours away from Gongcun. In other words, we're going to run into the little devils soon. I won't say more, this is the first time that our Reading Force has fought hard with so many little devils since its creation. When the time comes to see the little devils, I hope that every soldier in our Reading Force Regiment will not be a bad seed, especially the new recruits of each battalion and company who have just been replenished for less than two months. Since the political commissar was not here, the head of the regiment, Xie Guohua, took up the burden of boosting morale.

"Commander, don't worry, none of the soldiers will be a bad seed, you can give orders. We didn't have to think that we had such a good opportunity, this time we must have a good deal with the little devils, and let them know that our Reading Force Group and our Eighth Route Army are not easy to mess with. As soon as Xie Guohua's words were finished, the first battalion commander hurriedly stood up and said.

"Yes, Commander, you can give the order! Drink well, little devils, do a fight" Immediately, the other three people also stood up and said.

"Okay, it's a hero or a bear, let's see the chief of staff after the war, you come to tell you about the specific situation of the regiment headquarters about this battle, and assign specific combat tasks to everyone" Xie Guohua listened to the words of several people, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the chief of staff beside him.

"Comrades, according to my consultation with the regiment commander. We decided to use the fortifications dug by the third battalion on the mountain beam at the entrance of the village before the street battle, first block the little devils, rub the sharp spirit of the little devils, and wait until some of the little devils are eliminated, and after the little devils use artillery, we will use the tunnels in the village to evacuate all the positions for me to drill into the tunnels below the village, and have a good street battle with the little devils who drove into the village. The chief of staff stood up and gave a general account of the whole battle. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"Chief of Staff, give an order, this time it will definitely make the little devil look good, right, Chief of Staff, give an order" Immediately, the three battalion commanders all stood up together and asked for battle.

"Well, now we will start to arrange specific combat tasks: the first battalion, the second battalion, because they have been fighting with the little devils for the past two days, and the fortifications at the entrance of the village are built by the third battalion, the third battalion is very familiar with the entire fortification. Therefore, after the decision of the regiment headquarters, the task of blocking the little devils at the entrance of the village was entrusted to the third battalion of the Reading Regiment and the artillery company of the Reading Regiment. In addition, in order to strengthen the firepower density of the three battalions, the heavy machine gun platoons of the first and second battalions were all under the command of the commander of the third battalion in wartime," the chief of staff commanded in a loud voice.

"Yes, the regiment commander, the chief of staff, the artillery company of the third battalion guarantees to complete the task" Hearing that his third battalion had received such a big piece of fat, the commander of the third battalion and the commander of the artillery company stood up excitedly and said.

"Okay, after the battle started, the first battalion and the second battalion all entered the tunnel, and after the little devil entered the village, they fought with the little devil in the street. As for the specific combat and task assignment, the two battalion commanders of you assign it yourself. After completing the blocking mission, the third battalion immediately withdrew to the tunnel for rest, and as the reserve of the whole regiment, it joined the street battle at any time and launched a fatal blow to the little devil. The chief of staff then ordered.

"Yes, regimental commander, chief of staff guarantees to complete the task." The two battalion commanders stood up one after another and assured.

"Okay, can you complete the task, after the war, we will know that after the meeting, all battalions and companies will immediately replenish ammunition and drain all the ammunition carried by our baggage company. Also, after the meeting was dismissed, the companies immediately entered the position and waited for the arrival of the little devils. Later, our regimental headquarters will also follow the troops into the tunnels, but we are holding telephone lines in various positions, and if there is any situation, we will report immediately. Seeing several battalion commanders with excited faces, regiment commander Xie Guohua ordered.

"Yes, regiment commander, chief of staff" In this way, several company and battalion commanders walked out of the temporary headquarters with satisfaction, began to arrange tasks, and led the troops into the positions one after another. Especially the fighters of the third battalion, who dug fortifications for two days. In the past two days, I have been depressed and unhappy to stay here digging fortifications and not being able to fight with the little devils, and my face is full of resentment. When he learned that his third battalion was actually arranged to the front line to block the little devils. Everyone's face was full of excitement, shouting that the battalion commander would give the most important task to his company.

In less than an hour, Gong Village, which had just been lively because of the convergence of the three main camps, immediately became quiet. The first battalion and the second battalion followed the regimental headquarters into the tunnel fortifications, and the third battalion, after leaving a company in reserve, quietly ambushed the remaining two companies and all 12 heavy machine guns in the hidden trenches, quietly waiting for the arrival of the little devils.

At this time, the 5th Division of the Yue Army, which was missed by the soldiers of the Third Battalion, was laboriously marching on the highway less than 5 miles away from Gongcun. The reason for this is because of the two days of difficult marching and bullets everywhere, almost driving these little devils crazy.

And the dozens of mules, horses and carts that had been delivered to the avant-garde squadron two days ago had already been lost for two consecutive days. What is even more odious is that the Eighth Route Army actually dug countless large pits and trenches on dozens of kilometers of highways. For two days in a row, the army's engineering wing was like a road builder. Tinkering with this road is constantly being made to clear a safe passage for the follow-up troops.

"How far is it from Gong Village here on Bageya Road, are we going to camp in this kind of barren mountains and mountains tonight? And those elusive Eighth Route Army, if we camp in the wilderness, we will be disturbed for another night tonight" The division commander Itagaki Seishiro opened a pair of red eyes and looked at the slowly marching troops, almost all of them were listless soldiers. The division commander shook his head and asked the chief of staff beside him.

"Hey, Your Excellency Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army's harassment has indeed been too frequent in the past two nights, and we have to guard against it. However, according to the situation on the map, it is still 4 miles away from Gong Village, and you can see this village by turning around a forest in front of it. Based on our current marching pace, it will only take an hour. Moreover, according to the intelligence, as soon as we passed this village, we entered the base of the 1st Army Division of the Reading Division. The chief of staff looked at the map in his hand and said with red eyes.

Because it was in the middle of the camp two nights before. The first battalion tried its best to constantly harass the army with heavy machine guns and rifles. It can be said that in two nights, almost none of the more than 10,000 people in the army slept peacefully.

"The cunning Eighth Route Army of the Eight Grids and Tooth Road, when we find their main forces in the Empire, we must break them into pieces and order the troops to march as soon as possible, no matter when they arrive at Gong Village, camp in Gong Village tonight to rest, and continue to march tomorrow" The division commander Itagaki Seishiro ordered loudly.

"Hey, division commander, I immediately order the avant-garde squadron to speed up the march" After the chief of staff finished speaking, he gave a military salute, accelerated the speed of the war horse under his crotch, and galloped in the direction of the vanguard squadron.

"Yo Xi Orderly, don't wake me up if you don't have something important, wake me up when you arrive in Gong Village" Looking at the chief of staff in the distance, Seishiro Itagaki nodded with satisfaction, and ordered to the communication soldier beside him.

With the order of the division commander, although at this time more than 2,000 people of the engineer wing were exhausted after most of the day's work. But every soldier mustered up all his strength, and used his own speed to rest the road, which was already less than four miles away. Finally, after the hard work of more than 2,000 people, the mountain beam at the entrance of Gongcun Village finally appeared in front of the little devil.

"Yo Xi can finally rest now, immediately inform His Excellency the Division Commander that the Engineer Wing has successfully repaired the road to Gong Village, and ask His Excellency the Division Commander to issue further combat orders." Seeing Gong Village not far away, the commander of the Engineer Wing, Kaoji Daisa, wiped the sweat beads from his face and showed a relieved smile

"Hi, Your Excellency the Division Commander" Hearing the order of the wing commander, the herald who followed behind Wada Kaoji Daisa immediately took the order and ran to the division headquarters in the middle of the main force.

"Report to Your Excellency the division commander, our engineer wing has successfully built the road to Gong Village, and now Gong Village is in front of us, and the engineer wing requests instructions for the next step" came to the side of the division commander's car, and the herald saluted and said loudly.

"Nani, you have arrived at Gong Village, Yo Xi, order the troops to stop advancing, the advance guard squadron will immediately enter the village to search, and after the advance guard squadron sends a safety signal, each wing will enter the village in turn and prepare to camp." The division commander, Seishiro Itagaki, opened his eyes, nodded and ordered.

"Hi Your Excellency Division Commander" The herald turned and left the location where the division headquarters was located. New orders began to be communicated to the various wings. Soon, the entire marching brigade stopped on the road less than 500 meters from the entrance of Gongcun Village. And just when everyone stopped marching, a squadron of little devils broke away from the main force of the march and slowly walked towards the entrance of the village in a battle formation.

As a squadron of the Yue army searched and advanced in battle formation, the strong military quality of the field division of the Yue army was also vividly reflected at this time. When they were less than 400 meters away from the hidden trenches, a few little devils stopped in place with grenadiers on their shoulders, slipped out in a row, and began to fiddle with some grenadiers. The remaining more than 100 little devils were holding bright bayonets, bending down as much as possible to reduce the area where they were concentrated, and slowly attacked towards the entrance of the village not far away. And the machine gunner, who was wrapped in a light machine gun, also bent over, searched while marching, and was ready to shoot at any time.

"Tell the soldiers, give me a cover, we have 12 heavy machine guns in our hands, and when the time comes, give them a surprise attack, and you must leave me at least half of the little devils" Looking at the more than 100 little devils lined up in a straggler line, the corners of the third battalion commander's mouth showed a sinister smile, and he ordered to the two company commanders beside him.

Soon, this order was passed on to the ears of each warrior one by one. Receiving the order, almost every soldier shrank his head at the same time, crouched in the trench, and began to check his firearms. The heavy machine gunner was not idle, and began to debug the heavy machine gun in his hand. Only the commander of the third battalion and the two company commanders beside him showed their heads from time to time to observe the distance between the army and themselves.

The battalion commander of the 300-meter, 200-meter, 100-meter battalion still did not give the order to open fire. In the face of the silent mountain beam, the entrance of the village, where there was no breath, although the squadron leader led by the army felt a trace of danger. However, when he saw that he was less than 100 meters away from the entrance of the village, he seemed to be relieved. Not only the squadron leader, but also the squad leader and the soldiers around him also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time accelerated their marching speed, wanting to take the mountain beam at the entrance of the village in one go.

Slowly, the more than 100 little devils changed from bending over to attacking forward to trotting, and then from trotting to a quick reunion. And when it was less than 50 meters away from the entrance of the village, due to the restrictions of the terrain, more than a hundred little devils who were still particularly scattered just now charged quickly, but they were crowded together. Everyone raised their moral rifles in their hands and rushed towards the entrance of the village, which was "already empty".

"Comrades, give me a hard beating," seeing that more than a hundred little devils who were already huddled together, the battalion commander did not let go of this best opportunity to open fire. Shouting loudly at the soldiers in the trenches. At the same time, the shell gun in his hand also fired a dense number of bullets at the little devil not far away.

And the rifleman lying in the trench, after hearing the order, almost at the same time stood up from the trench, pulled the trigger, and fired a bullet that had already been loaded into the group of devils. Suddenly, a dense volley of guns rang out at the entrance of the village, which had just been empty. And the more than 100 dense little devils, with the sound of the soldiers' row guns, the two rows of little devil soldiers who rushed to the front of the team almost covered their chests at the same time and fell in a pool of blood.

And the last to fire, and the only heavy weapon on the position, was 12 heavy machine guns. With the battalion commander's order, the heavy machine gunners hidden in the trenches stood up one after another and lifted the obstacles in front of the heavy machine guns. Suddenly, 12 heavy machine guns glowing with blue light appeared in front of the little devil. 12 heavy machine guns, 12 tongues of fire, like a scythe, constantly reaping the lives of the little devils.

Face a dense network of 12 heavy machine guns, 8 light machine guns, and 300 rifles. Almost half of the little devils lost their lives and fell in pools of blood before they knew what was happening. And the rest of the little devils, although their quick reaction allowed them to avoid the first round of shooting, they all lay on the ground. However, because they were in the narrowest area in front of the defensive position. On the position less than 50 meters wide, nearly 100 little devils were lying on the ground densely. Coupled with the condescending attitude of the fighters, all of a sudden, a dense network of fire woven by 12 heavy machine guns immediately enveloped their heads.
