"Da Da Da" A dense tongue of fire spit out in Wang Qiang's roar, and before the four little devils on the two machine gun positions could react, they were hit in the back by a dense rain of bullets and lay motionless on the ground. The two light machine guns, which were still happily spitting bullets just now, also fell crookedly to the ground. And the machine-gun position, which was taken care of by three riflemen, was blown to pieces along with the light machine gun under the combined attack of a round of bullets and several grenades from the fighters.

"Comrades, rush and destroy the grenadiers of the devils" saw that the only three light machine guns that posed a threat to themselves had been taken out. Deputy squad leader Zhou Qiang did not hesitate. Holding the light machine gun in his hand, he rushed out of his hiding place and began to rush to the grenadier position next to the machine gun position. At the same time, the three fighters behind him also followed the light machine gun of the deputy squad leader and rushed to the grenadier position of the little devil.

Under the combined attack of light machine guns, grenades. The four soldiers, after paying the price of two sacrifices, finally annihilated the six little devils on the grenadier position. Looking at the 12 corpses of little devils and the seized weapons and ammunition in front of him, Wang Qiang was excited.

"The sacrifices of Comrade Xiao Zhou are worth it, you see, a total of 12 little devils all died under our guns. Let's go, hide all these captured weapons and ammunition, and definitely can't let the little devil use them again after he comes back, hurry up. When the little devil discovers that there is a change in the machine gun position behind him, he will definitely come back to the aid immediately. Looking at the soldier Xiao Zhou, who was sad because of the loss of his comrades, Wang Qiang comforted. At the same time, pointing to three grenadiers and two light machine guns in front of him, he ordered.

"Yes, squad leader Wang, I'll move now. When the time comes, I will also need a light machine gun, and I will avenge the sacrificed comrades" Xiao Zhou stopped crying, wiped the tears on his face, said fiercely, and began to collect weapons and ammunition on the ground.

"Okay, let's go to the little devil for revenge" After the two hid the machine gun and grenadier, one of them held a light machine gun. Following the gunfire around him, he chased after the twenty or so little devils. In the end, in the entire combat squad, only the deputy squad leader Wang Qiang was left, who was saved by the soldiers of another company because he was injured. The remaining 13 fighters, along with the squad leader, were all killed.

However, their deaths paid off in return. A standard squad of 54 people in the army was left with only 18 people after a heroic battle of the soldiers of the squad, together with the squad leader. More importantly, all the heavy weapons of this army squad were seized by Wang Qiang, the deputy squad leader. And the remaining 18 people, because of the loss of heavy weapons, were rushed to reinforce the soldiers of a platoon. After paying the price of casualties of a squad, it was completely annihilated.

"Commander, the gunfire in the village has almost stopped, and only a few remnants of the enemy are left to resist stubbornly. The guard company at the entrance of the village that was responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Yue army had already repelled two charges on the scale of the Yue army's squadron, and coupled with the onslaught of the Yue army's breakthrough troops in the village, the entire guard company was exposed to the enemy on its back. Although there was no threat from the heavy artillery of the army, the shelling of grenadiers and mortars was still very fierce. According to the latest situation from the reconnaissance platoon just now, there are now less than 45 men left in the guard company that can fight. About 100 fighters fell under the enemy's guns, and the position at the entrance of the village could be captured by the enemy at any time. We must retreat immediately, otherwise the warriors of the village will be attacked on both sides, and as a result, "the battle for the whole village is coming to an end." The chief of staff, who had been paying attention to the blocking battle at the entrance of the village, hurriedly reminded.

"Okay, send a flare immediately, order all fighters to withdraw into the tunnels at once, and prepare to move. Let the third battalion prepare to help transport the wounded quickly, time will not wait for me, now that it is dark, I still plan to give the little devil a little devil after dark? The head of the regiment, Xie Guohua, ordered loudly.

"Bang bang bang" Immediately, the entire Gong Village heard three sharp signal flares. The soldiers who were searching for the remnants of the enemy in the village and seized the booty stopped one after another, and under the command of commanders at all levels, sent the remains of their comrades, the wounded, and the captured booty into the tunnels and handed them over to the soldiers of the third battalion who had rested for half an hour.

In less than five minutes, the Eighth Route Army, which had just been active in the village. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. The guard company that held at the entrance of the village, after planting a large number of treacherous mines on its own position, quietly drilled into the tunnel and withdrew from the village.

With the assistance of nearly 300 fighters from the 3rd Battalion, the remains of one soldier were transferred through tunnels to the woods outside the village. Piles of seized loot were also removed, and it took more than an hour for the whole process to be completed. At this time, a brigade that came to reinforce the army finally set foot on Gong Village, which had become a ruin, after stepping on dozens of mines and tricky mines planted by the guard company at the entrance of the village.

"How can Baga be like this, why are there so many corpses of imperial soldiers, immediately take your squadron into the village to reconnoitre" As soon as he walked into the village, he saw that the pavement of the entire alley was covered with the remains of the imperial soldiers of the Great Imperial Army. And the weapons and ammunition of the imperial army were indeed looted. The captain of the Yue Army who led the team couldn't help but exclaim, and said in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency Captain" was named by the squadron leader, although very reluctant. But he nodded helplessly, and walked towards the interior of the village with more than a hundred soldiers under him, holding loaded rifles.

In less than five minutes, the squadron leader was seen panting and coming to the front of the squadron leader with a face full of gunpowder smoke and an arm wound.

"Report to the captain, we've finished searching. The village is basically full of corpses of imperial soldiers, this is the second lieutenant of the third squad of the second brigade, and we found it in a pile of rubble. He knew everything that had just happened in the village. The squadron leader pointed to the second lieutenant squad leader beside him and said.

"How is it possible that Nani is all corpses, this is a team and a half of elite imperial troops, more than a thousand people, how can the whole army be wiped out? Baga said quickly, what happened in the village just now? After listening to the words of his squadron leader, the captain of the squadron looked incredulous and questioned the squad leader in front of him.

"Report to the captain, what the squadron leader said just now is true, after we entered the village, we were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and the cunning Eighth Route Army actually set up countless tunnels and street fighting fortifications in the village, and they relied on familiar fortifications and terrain to fight street battles with us, killing and injuring the warriors of the Great Empire everywhere. Countless Imperial soldiers were killed before they could see their enemies. More than a thousand elite imperial troops, together with His Excellency the captain, were all shattered," the team leader said with a sad face.

"Bagar bastard, how is that possible?" The captain held his head high and shouted in despair.

"Your Excellency, the top priority now is to send troops to clean up the battlefield and search for survivors on the battlefield as much as possible. Report this matter to His Excellency the Wing Commander and His Excellency the Division Commander in the back," the chief of staff of the brigade beside him reminded.

"Bastard Chief of Staff, order all troops to enter the village, I will personally report this situation to the Wing Commander and Division Commander behind me, and now start the operation" The Group Leader nodded and ordered.

"Hi Captain, the 1st Squadron will attack from the front, the 2nd Squadron will attack from the right flank, the 3rd Squadron will attack from the left flank, and the 4th Squadron will act as a reserve to search for the remnants of the enemy as much as possible, search and rescue the surviving Imperial soldiers, and now start moving," the Chief of Staff ordered to several squadron leaders around him.

"Hi" looked at the various squadrons in the distance, and the captain shook his head. With the personal guards, he rushed to the wing headquarters and division headquarters behind him.

"Report that Your Excellency the Wing Commander Gongcun Eighth Route Army has been repulsed by our army, but" Seeing the Wing Commander, the Captain didn't know how to tell the Wing Commander the shocking news.

"Yo Xi, you are worthy of being a warrior of the empire, I want to ask for credit to His Excellency the division commander for you" Hearing that Gong Village had been occupied by the imperial army, the wing captain didn't seem to hear the two words behind the captain, and patted the captain on the shoulder excitedly, and said.

"Hey, Your Excellency Wing Commander, but the third captain, together with the elite imperial troops of the six squadrons under him, was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in Gongcun, almost all the troops were wiped out, and the captain was also shattered," the captain replied in a low voice.

"What is the captain jade broken, what did you say, say it again?" The wing captain suddenly reacted and asked in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency Wing Commander, the second brigade we entered the village was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. After half an hour of bloody fighting with the Eighth Route Army, almost all the troops were wiped out, and the second captain was also broken. The captain stiffened his head and said it again.

"How could Nani be this more than a thousand elite imperial army, when did the Eighth Route Army have such a strong combat effectiveness, and it was impossible to destroy one of our brigades in less than half an hour," the wing captain said in disbelief.

At this moment, a communications soldier who followed behind the group leader walked over with a casualty report that had just been counted.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, please take a look at the casualty report that my chief of staff has just counted?" The group leader took the casualty report from the communications officer, glanced at it, and handed it to Wing Commander Yuichiro Nagano Osa.

"Nian" Yuichiro Nagano waved his hand and spit out a word from his mouth with difficulty.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander. After preliminary statistics, of the 965 imperial soldiers of the second brigade who had just entered the village, except for 48 who survived because of injuries, the remaining 917 were all shattered. In addition, not a single body of the Eighth Route Army was found in the entire Gong Village. Moreover, all the weapons and ammunition of the imperial army entering the village were looted. In the process of attacking the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village, the third brigade had 86 people and 12 people seriously injured, and the captain of the second brigade was broken, and all the six squadron leaders belonged to the group.

The captain of the "Eight Grid Tooth Road" was full of anger, and suddenly snatched the telegram from the captain's hand and angrily tore it to pieces.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, though, although the second brigade is almost all shattered. However, I believe that with the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Brigade, they must have inflicted very heavy casualties on the Eighth Route Army. From the sudden retreat of the Eighth Route Army just now, we can see that the Eighth Route Army must not be able to bear greater casualties, so it quietly retreated from the tunnel. Looking at the telegram that had been torn to shreds and the co-captain with an angry face on his face, the captain reminded in a low voice.

"Baga, I will definitely take revenge Chief of Staff, in the battle to occupy Gongcun, how many imperial soldiers were killed and wounded by our army, I want to report the casualties of the entire wing to His Excellency the division commander, so that His Excellency the division commander can be more vigilant in future battles." The Wing Commander slowly calmed down and asked the Chief of Staff behind him, who was also shocked.

"Hi, Wing Commander, from the beginning of the battle, our avant-garde squadron Jade Shatter 121 people, in the battle to attack the entrance of the village, the first brigade lost a total of two squadrons of troops, a total of 382 Jade Shatter Imperial soldiers, plus the street battle in the village just now, our army again Jade Shattered 1003 people. In total, 1,506 people were killed, and about a small squad of soldiers was seriously wounded and hors de combat. The chief of staff said.

"Baga's cunning Eighth Route Army actually caused the imperial army to lose two brigades of troops in less than three hours. Chief of Staff, be sure to remember our current enemy. We, the 11th Infantry Wing, will avenge this blood feud sooner or later, and I, Yuichiro Nagano, must slash the supreme commander of this Eighth Route Army unit to comfort the heroic souls of the soldiers who are here. Yuichiro Nagano pulled out his command knife, knelt on the ground and swore.

"Hi, Your Excellency Wing Commander, we will definitely take revenge"

When wing commander Yuichiro Nagano told the division commander in the rear of the shocking news, the division commander Seishiro Itagaki was also full of shock. What he didn't expect was that attacking a soldier of the Eighth Route Army with inferior weapons and equipment would pay a tenth of the price of casualties for his division before he entered their defense area. However, fortunately, there were more than 10,000 troops behind him, and all the heavy weapons were intact. The division commander, Seishiro Itagaki, quickly reacted from the shock just now.

"Order, the 11th Infantry Wing immediately cleared Gong Village. Tonight, the whole division will camp and rest in Gong Village, and the division headquarters will be located in Gong Village, and in half an hour, I will take the regiment headquarters into Gong Village, Nagano-kun, is there any problem. The division commander asked.

"Hi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the 11th Wing guarantees the completion of the mission" Yuichiro Nagano replied excitedly when he saw that the division commander did not even want to ask for his own guilt.

"Yo Nishi Nagano-kun, don't be discouraged. Now we are encircling and suppressing the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army. Sooner or later, we will all encounter this Eighth Route Army, and when the time comes, I will definitely hand over the task of destroying this Eighth Route Army to your wing, so that you can take revenge. Seishiro Itagaki patted Yuichiro Nagano on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Hey, thank you for your concern, the head of the division, and I will definitely live up to my expectations," Yuichiro Nagano replied excitedly again.

"Yo Sai, Nagano-kun, let's go, we'll be in the village in a moment" Seishiro Itagaki nodded and said.

In this way, after paying the price of two more brigades, the army finally occupied the choke point that entered the base area, Gong Village. However, the little devils paid the price of 1,500 killed. In the same way, as a persistent reading group, it also paid a heavy price. At this time, the surviving soldiers of the entire Reading Force Regiment were in the dense forest about ten miles away from Gong Village, burying the bodies of their fallen comrades with grief.

"Regiment commander, the results and losses have been counted, do you want to take a look first." Although everyone won the battle, almost no one in the entire reading group could be happy. The chief of staff took a statistical report and came to the regiment commander Xie Guohua, who was also full of grief.

"Well, tell me about the street fighting in the village first" Xie Guohua nodded and sat side by side with the chief of staff on the grass.

"Well, regimental commander, although our soldiers have been trained for a period of street fighting. However, these little devils are veterans of the battlefield after all, and the soldiers fight very hard. The two battalions of our Reading Force Regiment were almost crippled in the half-hour street fighting. One of the battalions suffered 354 killed and 52 seriously wounded, and less than 100 were now able to continue fighting. The second battalion suffered 389 casualties and 34 serious wounded, leaving less than 100 men. The regimental guard company lost 105 killed, 13 seriously wounded, and the remaining 42 people could continue to participate in the battle, and the entire reading regiment suffered a total of 848 casualties in the street battle just now. In addition, in the blocking battle at the entrance of the village of the three battalions, the artillery company lost its strength, and the entire reading regiment lost a total of 1,185 people, and about 150 people were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness. The chief of staff replied in a whisper.

"It's so big, alas, the price paid in this street battle is really too great, if the commander knows, he won't shoot me. No matter what, we have paid such a big price, what are the results of the troops? The regiment commander asked with his head down.

"The specific results of the battle cannot be counted, but we have roughly counted them, and the army has sent a total of two brigades of troops, and they are almost completely lost. That is, at least 1500 little devils died at the hands of the fighters. Also, in the street fighting, we captured 9 mortars, 6 heavy machine guns, 16 light machine guns, more than 420 rifles, various bullets, grenades, and artillery shells. The chief of staff introduced.
