If it weren't for the fact that these mechanics had not really been on the battlefield, Liu Guodong could directly launch a counterattack on the devils with his 4,000 well-equipped "troops", and defeat and completely annihilate the more than 1,000 devils of Tagami Hachiro in a head-to-head battle.

Although they have never been on the battlefield, the weapons equipped by the mechanics are the most advanced and excellent weapons on the Chinese battlefield at the moment, such as Garand semi-automatic rifles, MP38 submachine guns, MG34 general-purpose machine guns, each of which makes the devil hate itchy.

With these sophisticated equipment, these "recruits" who have not been on the battlefield can inflict immeasurable losses on the devils with their fortifications.

After all, this kind of fortress defense is not the same as offensive warfare, as well as field battles and encounter battles.

On a dirt slope about 2,000 meters outside the town, Hachiro Tagami and several other subordinates such as Tamura Shaoza were holding binoculars to spy on the defense line of Guanji [***].

After holding the binoculars and looking at them for a while, Hachiro Tagami turned his head to Tamura Shaosa behind him and said, "Tamura-kun, do you see anything wrong?" ”

"Returning to Your Excellency, I can't see anything from my humble position." Tamura replied without thinking.

"Don't you think it's too quiet here? It stands to reason that where the imperial army is coming, how can the people of China be indifferent? Hachiro Tanakami was puzzled and said, "Either that, they have a defense." ”

"Your Excellency, I think it is better to order the artillery to get ready, and then send an infantry squad to launch a tentative attack. There were less than two hundred people in China, and it was only a test attack to know their firepower. Tamura said.

"Well, immediately order the fifth squadron to prepare for the attack." Hachiro Tanakami nodded and ordered.

"Hay!" Tamura Shaozo suddenly bowed his head in response, and immediately turned around and took the order.

……………………

In the main bunker outside the town, Liu Guodong was lying on the lookout hole with a telescope and was also observing the situation of the army, and next to him was his first company commander Li Er.

"Company commander, why don't the devils attack yet." Li Er put down the binoculars and turned his head to ask Liu Guodong.

"Don't worry, the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for us." Liu Guodong didn't look back.

When Li Er heard this, he didn't ask too much, and raised the telescope again to look out.

Liu Guodong deployed all five of his platoons on frontal positions, two of which guarded the trenches, two platoons guarded the pillboxes, and the other platoon guarded the buildings in the town, and could also serve as a reserve to supplement them if necessary.

It didn't take long for Li Er to suddenly exclaim: "Captain, devil, devil has moved." ”

"I see it." Liu Guodong paid close attention to the situation of the devils in front of him, and waved his hand to Li Er: "Order the first row and the second row, the number of devils is not large, let them get closer and fight." ”

"Yes!" Li Er immediately turned around and walked towards the telephone. The telephone lines in the main pillbox are not only connected to other pillboxes, but also to the forward trenches, so that combat orders can be conveyed to the forefront at the first time.

The devil who was in charge of the offensive task of the tentative surname was subordinate to the 3rd Infantry Squad of the 5th Squadron, and the whole squad had three infantry squads, and a grenadier squad equipped with three grenadiers, each infantry squad was equipped with a crooked light machine gun, and the others were all equipped with 38 big covers.

With the squad leader, the number of this devil squad is sixty people.

Sixty people were divided into front and behind, and a straggler line about 100 meters wide quickly approached the forward position of the garrison.

Although most of the soldiers in the garrison were recruits recruited when they were first formed, the backbone were veterans who had fought with the devils on the battlefield, and with the guidance and guidance of the veterans, although the soldiers were nervous, they had been ordered to crawl in the trenches, quietly waiting for the devils to approach.

As time passed, the sixty devils got closer and closer, and they may have felt a trace of unusual breath, the devils got closer and closer, and they became more and more cautious, and the skirmish line went from more than 100 meters at the beginning to nearly 200 meters, which shows the cautiousness of the devils.

After all, the army and the tiger army have fought so many times, and they have a certain understanding of the fire equipment and combat habits of the tiger army, and the army knows that the tiger army has strong automatic firepower, so when they attack again, they will scatter the straggler line as much as possible to offset the damage caused by the dense firepower of the tiger army.

When the distance reached within 100 meters, the devils had stopped charging and instead approached slowly on foot, and all the devils slowly advanced with vigilant expressions as if they were facing a great enemy.

The fighters hiding in the trenches could even hear the stray footsteps coming from the ground, but the order to open fire was still not given.

Just when the soldiers' nervous hearts were in their throats, Liu Guodong in the main bunker finally picked up the telephone and ordered loudly: "First platoon, second platoon, you listen, the devils are very cautious, the snipers aimed at the machine gunners and grenadiers who hit the devils, and the others just greeted with the most intensive firepower, we lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of ammunition!" ”

"Yes!" The first platoon leader and the second platoon commander in the forward trench answered aloud at the same time, hung up the phone and took the lead in getting up and saying sharply: "Brothers, give me a fight, the snipers will kill the machine gunners and grenadiers of the devils, and the others will strafe!" Beat! ”

Before the two of them could finish speaking, they each set up an MG34 general-purpose machine gun and began to fire fiercely.

"Dada...... Da da da ...... "As soon as the MG34 general-purpose machine gun fired, the bullets suddenly poured out like a torrential rain, and the dense bullets formed a fan-shaped barrage and poured out like water, if it weren't for the sparseness of the devil's skirmish line, just the rainstorm of these two general-purpose machine guns could make the devil squad suffer heavy losses.

However, Rao is devil straggler line was opened, and several devil soldiers were still hit on the spot and fell to the ground one after another.

At the same time, the other fighters opened fire one after another, and the powerful network of semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and general-purpose machine guns exploded in vain, and the bullets whistled like a hurricane towards the devil crowd.

The devils were obviously prepared, and after a dozen people fell, the rest of them lay down and fired back, and several devil grenadiers who followed the infantry also crouched down and began to reload and prepare for fire support.

The crooked machine gunners quickly lay on the ground and fired back, while the infantrymen covered with all their might and cooperated very skillfully.

However, before the devil's machine gunner and grenadier fired a few bullets or shells, they were targeted by the snipers equipped with each squad of the Tiger Ben Army, and after a few special gunshots rang out in the dense gunfire, the three devils tilted their heads and lay on the ground one after another.

When the secondary shooter reacted, he found that the main shooter had an extra blood hole on his forehead.

The grenadiers were not spared, and at such a close distance, these devil grenadiers crouching on the ground and preparing for artillery fire were like live targets, and the three main gunners were also killed by bullets flying from unknown places.

The remaining flying co-shooter and co-gunner had just taken over the position of their predecessor and were again slaughtered by cold shots.

Having lost the fire support of light machine guns and grenadiers, dozens of devil riflemen were suppressed by the dense fire of the Tiger Ben army and could not raise their heads at all, and after losing more than 20 people, the leader of the devil squad decisively gave the order to retreat.

On the dirt slope outside the battlefield, Hachiro Tanagami, who had been watching the battle, couldn't help but be furious when he saw this: "Yaga Yalu, the sharpshooters of the Shina people, it seems that they are still on guard." ”

"Your Excellency, I suggest an immediate shelling." Seeing this, Tamura Shaoza suggested.

"Well, tell the artillery, direct special ammunition, and then the fifth squadron and the third squadron will attack at the same time, striving to seize the defensive positions of the people of China in one fell swoop." Hachiro Tanakami had run out of patience to carefully explore the strength of his opponent, because he knew that he had to fight quickly, but fortunately, this time he brought special ammunition.

"Hay!" Tamura Shaoza bowed his head again sharply in response.

……………………

In the town, the battle just now, the "recruits" in the town can be regarded as an eye-opener, and the victory of the Tiger Ben Army in the first battle has greatly improved their confidence and courage, and everyone is holding the steel gun tightly and eager to try.

In the main bunker, Li Er said with a smile on his face: "Captain, this little devil can't help fighting, and he runs away after two hits." ”

"Don't be careless, just now it was just a tentative attack by the devil, and the next thing is the main thing. Have the Heavy and Sniper shifted their positions? Liu Guodong asked rhetorically.

"It's been transferred, and after the devil tries to attack, the machine gunner must change positions, and the brothers of this whole company can recite it backwards." Li Erdao.

"What do you kid know, this is the wise move of the military seat, it has been practiced on the battlefield, and this is the one that has saved the lives of many soldiers." Liu Guodong thought of Qiao Anbang's proudness.

As soon as the two of them spoke, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly sounded outside.

Liu Guodong hurriedly walked to the lookout hole and raised the telescope to look forward, but there was no reaction from the forward position, so he immediately turned around and walked to the phone, picked up the telephone and asked loudly: "Second platoon leader, what's the matter?" What happened? ”

The second platoon leader's cough came from the other end of the phone: "Captain, devil, devil fucking gas bomb." ”

"Let the brethren put on gas masks now!" Liu Guodong said urgently.

"Yes." The second platoon commander's voice had changed, and he had apparently put on a gas mask.

After Liu Guodong put down the phone, he took a deep breath of cold air and said: "This little devil is really crazy, and he used a poison gas bomb on his mother." ”

"By the way, the mechanics in town, they don't seem to be wearing gas masks, do they?" Liu Guodong suddenly remembered.

"Probably not." Li Er said uncertainly.

"Go and see, if not, let them immediately go back to the arsenal and equip them with gas masks, as soon as the poisonous gas of the devil spreads, the whole town will not be spared. As for the people, let them prepare more wet towels and water. Liu Guodong urged.

"Yes!" Li Er hurriedly responded, ran out of the main bunker quickly, and hurried towards the town.

At this time, the poisonous gas had already enveloped the first and second platoon positions, and was rapidly drifting towards the bunker group.
