"Baga, how is it possible," Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, but there were more and more Chinese soldiers, the more fierce the battle, the deputy captain scolded in disbelief. At the same time, he was worried about his future, and the fear that he had never felt on the battlefield in China suddenly came to his heart.

"Baga, quick, prepare to retreat. Retreat" Looking at the fewer and fewer soldiers around him, the weak-hearted deputy captain immediately gave the order to retreat.

"Comrades, rush, kill the devils" Seeing that the remaining devils wanted to retreat, the guard company commander picked up a devil rifle. If you want to continue the pursuit, you will annihilate the remaining dozen devils. However, just as the soldiers wanted to pursue, the brigade commander's order to retreat immediately sounded on the hillside.

"Withdraw, quick,. Immediately retreat to the position, the devils are ready to shell. Hearing the call to retreat, the instructor next to him immediately reminded. So, the soldiers hurriedly withdrew to the position with the remains of their comrades and the wounded.

Sure enough, less than a few seconds after the fighters left, on the position where they had just fought, a violent explosion was remembered. Seeing the constantly exploding shells, the guard company commander's face immediately twitched, fortunately he had just retreated in time, otherwise his guard company would really have to stay there.

"Company Commander Wang, how are the casualties of the troops?" The brigade commander looked at the guard company commander with gunsmoke on his face and hurriedly asked.

"Brigade commander, a total of 32 people were killed, 6 were seriously wounded, a platoon lost its combat effectiveness, and now there are less than 80 people on the position who can fight." When it came to casualties, the instructor of the guard company behind him replied in a whisper.

"Okay, comrades are all good, quick, order the soldiers to hurry up and strengthen the trenches, the next wave of the devil's charge should be coming soon." The brigade commander was also shocked to hear the casualty figures. You must know that the soldiers of the guard company were carefully selected by the whole brigade, and there were such large casualties. , if you change to a soldier of an ordinary company, without the help of heavy weapons, what kind of casualties will there be?

"Baga, smack your stupidity" This is already the second time that the squadron leader has slapped the backing deputy captain in the face. "Yours, why did you charge at that time, don't you know that with machine guns, with mortars, kill and wound the squadron [***] on the opposite side?" The squadron leader asked with a grim face.

"Your Excellency the Captain, it was the squad leader who insisted on charging, and he said that he wanted to let the people on the opposite side taste the stabbing technique of our Great Empire," the deputy captain replied with his head bowed.

"Bastard, your conscience is very bad, Ono-kun has broken the jade, and he hasn't even snatched the body back, you actually framed the chief, Baga" Another round of slaps was slapped.

"Hi" The vice-captain lowered his head and endured the burning pain on his face.

"Yours, how many more people are in the avant-garde squad." The squadron leader slowly relieved himself and asked.

"Hi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, there are still 14 people left in the vanguard team, including me, and only one light machine gun has been brought back." Hearing the squadron leader ask about the losses of the troops, the deputy captain again lowered his head.

"Yours, take the troops to hurry up and rest, and prepare for the second charge," the squadron leader said with an expressionless face.

After saying "Hi", the deputy captain lowered his head and walked towards his troops.

"Yo Xi, is the soldier on the opposite side the legendary Eighth Route Army of China? Yo Xi, we finally met a real opponent. Order the artillery squad to use up all the shells we brought, and be sure to raze the positions of the people on the opposite side of the country, I want to see if the Eighth Route Army is hard or my shells are hard. The squadron leader commanded the artillery squad beside him.

The four shells of the "boom boom" devil suddenly fell among the fighters who were digging the trench, causing casualties among several fighters again. "Oh no, the devils are starting to shell, damn it, you can't stop for a while. The fighters were ordered to immediately retreat to the rear of the position, leaving no one in the trenches. The brigade commander immediately ordered.

"Brigade commander, there is no one left on the position, what if the devil takes the opportunity to sneak attack! Isn't that just lost in our position?" the company commander asked suspiciously after listening to the brigade commander's order.

"Quick, order the fighters to retreat, to the rear is telling you." Seeing the guard company commander who was not moving at all, Wang Nanhu couldn't help but start a fire.

"Yes, comrades, don't dig it, immediately retreat to the rear and hide from the shells of the devils." Although he was very confused about the brigade commander's order, the soldier took it as his duty to obey the order, and the company commander immediately gave the order to retreat loudly.

However, the order was still too late. Just when the fighters had just dropped their sapper shovels and were ready to retreat to the rear, a new round of shelling by the devils began. Sure enough, as the brigade commander said, the devil was taking revenge. Because in addition to the four mortars of the devils, there were also more than a dozen grenadiers that fired at close range.

Dense shells fell at once among the retreating fighters. The soldiers, who had no cover from the trenches, were instantly drowned in dense artillery fire. When the smoke cleared, the bodies of a dozen fighters fell on the position again.

"What are you doing in a daze, retreat quickly" watched more than a dozen soldiers fall under the dense artillery fire of the devils. The commander of the guard company finally knew why the brigade commander strictly ordered the troops to retreat immediately to avoid the artillery fire of the devils.

Finally, when the second round of intensive artillery fire of the devils came, the soldiers successfully retreated to the rear of the position.

"Company commander, just now another 12 soldiers were sacrificed and 2 were seriously injured, but the wounded were all rushed back, but the remains of the fallen soldiers are still exposed to the artillery fire of the devils." The instructor came to the company commander's side and said dejectedly with his head down.

"Well, I know, order the soldiers to hurry up and rest, conserve their strength, and the battle will be even more brutal in a while." Maybe the company commander was already mentally prepared, or maybe he saw too many casualties today. After hearing the casualty figures of the instructor, he was not too shocked, and replied coldly.

However, the psychology of the guard company commander at this time was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. He was looking forward to the arrival of the artillery company, the first battalion. Because if the reinforcements had come a little later, his guard company might have really died here after the last blockade. He was begging, expecting

At this time, the position had been completely turned over by the devil's shells, but the devil's shelling still continued, without the slightest intention of stopping. Although, the position at this time was already unrecognizable.

Brigade Commander Wang Nanhu's heart has also not been calm. Listening to the constant sound of artillery fire on the position, he constantly raised the binoculars in his hand to look at the rear of the position and look at the way of his reinforcements. Because he was also looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

"Brigade commander, reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming." I don't know who shouted it out loud. Wang Nanhu hurriedly raised the binoculars in his hand, and saw a team wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army appear at the intersection in front of him, and he was rushing towards him. Looking at the reinforcements getting closer and closer, Wang Nanhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only Wang Nanhu, but every soldier standing on the battlefield at this time breathed a sigh of relief. There were even a lot of fighters who knelt on the ground, leaving tears in their eyes. Because since the establishment of the guard company, there has never been such a huge casualty.

"Report to the brigade commander, the first battalion of the fifth regiment was ordered to come and report to the brigade commander, and the artillery company was ordered to come and report." The commander of the artillery company and the commander of the first battalion came to Wang Nanhu's side together.

"Okay, comrades, you are really timely, it is really timely, the guard company has been saved, the base area has been saved" Looking at the two subordinates who saluted him, the brigade commander Wang Nanhu thought about the soldiers who had just died, and said excitedly.

"Comrades, due to the particularly fierce offensive of the devils, the guard company has suffered heavy casualties. So, I won't give you time to rest, whatever, and there is no difficulty. Wang Nanhu looked at Lian Ren, who was sweating profusely, and asked.

"Report to the brigade commander, the comrades of the guard company have already fought hard, and the rest will be left to us." After listening to the brigade commander's words, the two said in unison.

"Good, good. Now the order is that the artillery company immediately set up a position, and after receiving the order, it will shoot at the devil's position. The guard company withdrew and corrected, and after the shelling was over, the first battalion and one company went up, and the second and third companies outflanked the two flanks of the main force. I want to eat this group of little devils who don't know the height of the sky, avenge the sacrificed soldiers, and give the army a warning, our Eighth Route Army is not so easy to mess with. Brigade Commander Wang Nanhu clenched his fists and said.

"Brigade commander, I have something to say" Just as Wang Nanhu finished speaking, the guard company commander immediately rushed to say.

"What's the matter?" Wang Nanhu looked at the tired guard company commander and said unbearably in his heart.

"Report to the brigade commander, the guard company does not need to rest, we must avenge the sacrificed comrades and annihilate the devil soldiers in front of us." The commander of the guard company almost cried.

"Company Commander Wang, I know you are eager for revenge, but you have been fighting for so long, and the soldiers are tired. For your own sake, you should go down and rest first, and then there will be a battle for you to fight. Looking at the guard company commander with a tired face, Wang Nanhu immediately refused.

"Report to the brigade commander, the entire guard company asked to participate in the battle and refused to withdraw from the battlefield." The guards and instructors behind him also spoke, and his tone was full of determination.

"Well, since the warriors want revenge so much, then I'll give everyone a chance. Later, when the troops participate in the general offensive, the guard company can participate in the battle. However, the task of the guard company now is to rest well, restore its combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, and later participate in the final battle against the enemy. Brigade Commander Wang Nanhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Thank you, brigade commander, the guard company will definitely live up to the trust." After listening to Wang Nanhu's order,. The two of them looked happy and replied excitedly

At this moment, the shelling of the devils also ended.
