......The four machine gunners of the first battalion and the first company of the independent regiment pulled the trigger at the same time, and the whistling bullets directly enveloped the more than 100 Japanese puppet troops who had already walked to the mountain pass.

In an instant, more than a dozen Japanese puppet soldiers fell to the ground.

"Retreat, retreat immediately! Machine gun cover, retreat immediately! The squad leader led by the Japanese puppet army shouted loudly.

In the end, the Japanese puppet army left behind thirty or forty corpses and withdrew from the battlefield in disarray.

The commander of the first company, Li Yunshan, decisively ordered: "Stop shooting!" Correspondent, immediately report to the battalion commander, the Japanese puppet army is coming! ”

On a small high ground a few hundred meters away, Nakamura Shaoza held a telescope and stared at the position with a serious face.

Soon, a sneer appeared on Nakamura's face.

"Inform the artillery brigade, immediately set up the cannon and prepare to fire!"

"The positions on Tuba Road are all civil fortifications, and they can't withstand the shelling of the mountain artillery in our hands!"

"The Third Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, a battalion is ready for battle. After the end of the ten-minute artillery fire, with mortars and heavy machine guns covering, the attack began immediately! ”

"Hey!" The leader of the devil squadron and the commander of the Imperial Association military camp who were standing around Nakamura replied loudly.

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom Boom Boom ......Boom

Because most of the fighters of the first company were hiding in the anti-artillery holes, the heavy shelling did not cause casualties to the first company.

As soon as the shelling stopped, the company commander Li Yunshan shouted: "Enter the position immediately, the enemy is coming, get ready for battle!" ”

In the battle of Loess Ridge two days ago, the first company was the main attack company, and more than half of it was lost. Although a lot of new recruits were added after the battle, the total strength was still only more than 130 people, nearly 40 fewer than the original.

As soon as more than 100 people broke out of the anti-artillery hole and lay down on the position that had been blown up a lot, a new round of artillery sound reached everyone's ears.

"It's all well hidden, it's a mortar!" Li Yunshan, who knew the combat style of the Japanese army, ordered loudly.

The shells don't have long eyes, but they are hugely powerful, and the people who operate the mortars are devil veterans, and they hit accurately and trickily.

A dozen shells fell in one round, and at least half of the fighters on the position were blown over.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

More and more mortar shells fell, and the casualties of the company increased.

The heartbroken Li Yunshan wanted to order the troops to return to the anti-artillery hole. However, the Imperial Army, which was getting closer and closer in front of the position, did not give him this opportunity.

"Company commander, the enemy is coming, all of them are the Imperial Army. The strength is about one battalion, and it is equipped with nearly ten light machine guns, and there are devil heavy machine guns and mortars to provide fire cover. The instructor lying next to Li Yunshan reported.

"You're wrong, there's a squad of devils behind to supervise the battle!" Li Yunshan replied with a calm face.

Speaking of this, Li Yunshan directly thought of the battle at Loess Ridge a few days ago.

I originally thought that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army was not very good, but I didn't expect that under the supervision of the devils, in order to survive, they actually broke out with a combat effectiveness that was even stronger than that of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army. The first company suffered a big loss in front of such an imperial army, so in the face of the attack of the imperial army, Li Yunshan not only did not have any contempt, but looked cautious.

"The small artillery squad is staring at the devil's heavy machine gun position, remember to change positions with one shot, harass the devil's heavy machine gunners, and reduce the pressure on the blocking troops!"

"Don't be polite to the others, stare at the Imperial Association Army and beat me hard!"

The three grenadiers fired first, the three grenades smashed over, and the devil directly dug fire with a heavy machine gun that was screaming happily. The heavy machine gun was blown over along with seven or eight devil machine gunners around, and at a glance, it was clear that they would not survive.

"Eight grid tooth road, it's a grenadier. Contact the mortar squadron and immediately start a counterattack and take out the grenadiers of the dirt eight roads! The squadron leader of the devil's heavy machine gun squadron shouted.

When three grenadiers and five or six mortars of the devils were engaged in guerrilla warfare, a company also joined the battle.

Under the desperate resistance of four machine guns and more than 100 rifles, the casualties of the Imperial Allied Army were very large.

However, no amount of casualties frightened them.

Under the coercion of the devil behind him, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a rifle with a good bayonet.

In the words of the officer, the devil does not treat them as human beings, and disobeys the devil's orders to die faster. But if you listen to the devil's order to rush forward, it is possible to break through the resistance of the Eighth Route Army and survive, and you can also get a generous reward.

Therefore, in order to survive, these imperial alliance troops rushed forward in a desperate posture.

The Heavy scattered in the middle of the group, perhaps to embolden himself, rushed forward while holding the machine gun and strafing it, regardless of whether he hit the target or not.

In the company's position, soldiers were constantly killed and wounded by oncoming bullets, and some soldiers were killed and injured by shells falling from the sky.

"Company commander, there are too many attritions in the troops, it has only been less than five minutes, and the losses have already exceeded one platoon!" The instructor lying beside Li Yunshan shouted anxiously.

"No matter how big the losses are, we must persevere, our first company is the main company in the regiment, and it guards the first line of defense into the mountain, and we can't even stop the devil from attacking once." Li Yunshan frowned and insisted.

"And the regiment commander has an order, after the devil attacks, each infantry company must block the enemy's attack once before retreating. Therefore, no matter how big the loss is, we must persevere, and it is a big deal to put together a mess, anyway, it is not the first time we have experienced this kind of vicious battle! ”

"Tell the fighters to hold on, and fight to the death to block the devil's attack!"

Persistence means sacrifice, and the first company finally held the position, but the company commander Li Yunshan did not have a little joy on his face.

And it's a little like crying without tears.

Because, on the position that stretched for nearly two hundred meters, there were less than fifty soldiers still alive in a company, just one platoon.

In the face of such heavy casualties, Li Yunshan's eyes directly turned red.

At this time, he had only one idea, to stay here, fight with the devil, and avenge the sacrificed comrades.

"Company commander, we must retreat, a company cannot be wiped out, at least some backbones must be left to reorganize a company, while the devil has not yet attacked, withdraw! If you don't withdraw, the whole company will have to be explained here! The instructor, who had an injured arm, was angry and aggrieved, and said through gritted teeth.

"Retreat!" Li Yunshan finally chose to retreat.

Wanting revenge doesn't mean he's not sensible. With the little strength in his hand, if he continues to hold on, not only will he not be able to take revenge, but he will also give the Japanese puppet army war exploits in vain!
