The Japanese squad leader had a lot of combat experience. He knew that he could not take it back as soon as the heavy machine gun fired. He quickly hid behind a brick wall next to him: "The troops stopped attacking, hide quickly!"

The heavy machine gun is too powerful: fast firing speed, long range, and strong firepower...

The word "hidden..." just reached his subordinates' ears, and Zhou Cheng had already wiped out a bullet board.

Dozens of bullets crashed into the Japanese and puppet troops rushing towards them with huge power.

It was like penetrating a piece of paper and easily piercing the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the front row, leaving a blood hole small in front and large in back on them, and then continued to fly forward and drill into the body of the second Japanese and puppet soldiers.

The two rows of Japanese and puppet troops in the front fell to the ground, none of them survived.

Looking at the corpse in front of him and glanced at the few subordinates left beside him, the team leader could no longer see the spirit of the moment he had just left the stronghold, and his expression became very heavy.

Fourteen people were killed and injured in the battle against the front yard, and four or five more were lost in the battle against the back yard.

More than a dozen subordinates were lost in the assault on the heavy machine gun position just now.

In addition to the artillery and heavy machine gunners who were killed behind him, he lost more than 40 subordinates in less than half an hour.

More importantly, heavy machine guns and mortars were lost.

Look at the guerrillas attacking him, they actually hide their troops and firepower. Their real strength is much stronger than what I see.

Now there are more mortars and heavy machine guns to help, so their strength is definitely stronger.

One goes up and the other goes down. If you continue to fight, the troops you brought out of the stronghold may be explained here.

Time is life on the battlefield, and the team leader dares not wait any longer.

If the three troops surrounding the yard were also targeted by the guerrillas, with the combat effectiveness that the guerrillas had just shown, they would have a lot of danger and would not even have the chance to withdraw from their strongholds.

Order immediately: "Everyone will return to the stronghold with me..."

Zhou Cheng did not intercept them and watched them return to the stronghold.

Since the war has been fought, the goal I want has been achieved. There is no need to continue to fight with them here, killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred of them.

Moreover, although the guerrillas won the battle just now, there must be casualties, especially the rows that were forced into the backyard by the Japanese.

What you need most at this time is to let the soldiers take a breath and have a good rest.

Not long after the team leader retreated, Xiang Feng ran out of the yard.

My body was covered with a strong smell of gunpowder, my clothes were blown up in a mess, my arms were injured, and I was tied with bandages. Because of the continuous exercise, I could see a trace of blood seeping out?

"What happened? I was injured?" Zhou Cheng asked quickly.

"The Japanese were blown up with grenades!" After the battle just now, Xiang Feng became much more mature and answered very calmly.

"But compared with the sacrificed warriors, this little injury on me is nothing?"

Zhou Cheng heard something in Xiang Feng's words, and asked quickly: "Is the casualties serious? How many people do you have in your hands?"

Xiang Feng's calm face slowly became painful. He hesitated for a long time before speaking: "In addition to two machine gun teams, nine people can continue to fight, and three of the remaining eighteen people were seriously injured and fifteen were sacrificed."

Zhou Cheng's good mood brought by seizing the heavy machine gun was gone all at once.

Since the formation of the guerrillas, there has never been a precedent for so many warriors to sacrifice.

Seeing Zhou Cheng's face getting ugly, Xiang Feng decisively apologized: "Captain, I didn't command well, and then sacrificed so many comrades. You punish me. Even if I get rid of my platoon leader, I will be willing."

"What are you doing? Cheer me up..." Zhou Cheng cursed angrily.

The heavy expression on his face was quickly replaced by seriousness, and he looked at Xiang Feng and replied: "The casualties of the soldiers are a little bit too big, but it's not your fault."

"After you captured the yard, facing the Japanese and puppet troops with superior troops and firepower, you not only did not be timid, but instead fought bravely, using street fighting to kill and injure more than 40 people, which is equivalent to a sacrificed soldier killing at least two Japanese and puppet troops."

"In terms of casualties, you won this battle, and you didn't lose, and the soldiers who died were not in vain. Not only will I not punish you, but I also want to praise you."

"But you can't be too proud. If all those who participated in the war today were veterans, the casualties would definitely not be so big."

"So after this battle, the troops must strengthen training and train the new recruits as soon as possible!"

Xiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief and promised loudly: "Captain, don't worry, I will increase the training intensity after I go back so that the recruits can mature as soon as possible."

Zhou Cheng nodded and saw Liang Hongjiang coming with the captured mortar, and immediately got back to the point.

"In the battle just now, we led the snake out of the hole and killed sixty or seventy Japanese and puppet troops. Not only did we achieve the goal of consuming the enemy, but we also seized the only heavy machine guns and mortars in the stronghold, and achieved great results."

"I decided to continue my efforts and immediately surround the stronghold and force the defenders to ask for help from the county town."

In the stronghold, the captain had just returned to the artillery tower, and before he could take a breath, an alarm sound of "Wuwuwu..." was heard from the roof of the artillery tower, which was very harsh.

"So what's wrong?" the captain climbed up to the top of the stairs and asked impatiently with anger.

"The guerrillas surrounded our stronghold!" The sentry did not expect that the commander would get angry as soon as he came up and quickly reported.

"Nani?" The captain's first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

Although he had just lost to this guerrilla team, he didn't believe that the guerrilla team had the courage to attack the stronghold.

Reducing the losses just now, there were more than 100 soldiers at the base, and with the strong fortifications, two or three hundred Eighth Route Army troops were not afraid of attacking him, let alone a guerrilla force.

In the previous battle, I did underestimate the opponent, but no matter how strong they are and how many troops they have, they are still a guerrilla team that cannot be on the table.

It’s okay to fight guerrilla warfare. If you choose to attack a stronghold, isn’t you seeking death by yourself?

"Boom...boom..."

A few explosions brought the captain back to reality.

No matter what he thought, the facts were as reported by his subordinates, and the battle had begun.

The six-grenade gear equipped by the fire platoon participated in the battle for the first time, but it did not make a big splash and was also very embarrassing.

Six grenades flew to the outer positions of the stronghold at the same time. Except for one grenade hitting the edge of the position and overturning a puppet army, the remaining five grenades were not even touched by the position. The most exaggerated grenade was ten meters away from the position.

Chang Yuanqiao stood beside him and cursed with anger, but there was no way.

These grenade launchers in their hands are the first time participating in actual combat. Unlike the Japanese, each grenade launcher has undergone long training and hundreds of live ammunition training before going to the battlefield. It is already very good that they can beat like this.
