    "Boom boom boom"

    "Da da da"

    There were constant explosions and gunfire on the battlefield, and both sides held their breath!

    This time in the attack, Captain Sato was not as cautious as the previous two times. As soon as he started, he asked the soldiers to carry out a group charge.

    Five to six hundred Japanese troops drove an equal number of puppet troops to charge together. The momentum was so huge. The hillsides were densely packed with little Japanese and Japanese soldiers dressed in yellow dog skins.

    Seeing this formation, Gao Hu couldn't help but feel happy. Isn't this exactly what the commander wanted?

    They are not blocking here to stop the Japs from advancing. To be honest, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 civilians in the Xiong'er Mountain Area. All those who should be moved have been moved. Even if they let the Japs in, there is nothing to fear.

    "But the commander has to send troops everywhere to block the Japanese army's advance. The purpose is to use the terrain advantages to kill a large number of the little Japanese's effective forces and create conditions for future troop operations.

    In view of this, Gao Hu immediately mobilized all the light and heavy machine gun grenades in his hand. He planned to give the Japanese a hard blow and then withdraw to the second line of defense to continue blocking the enemy.

    There¡¯s nothing to be polite about. When the Japs¡¯ vanguard was still a hundred meters away from the position, Gao Hu¡¯s troops opened up all firepower!

    This time, Gao Hu and others did not hold anything back. They brought out all the heavy firepower that had been hidden before, and even brought out all the anti-aircraft machine guns.

    The defenders were firing on all cylinders, the light and heavy machine guns were roaring, and the grenades were roaring. The scene was quite spectacular!

    And the little devils at the foot of the mountain were like a forest ravaged by a tornado, falling one by one, with extremely heavy casualties.

    "But the little Japs' tenacious fighting will showed its power at this time. Under the order of Captain Sato, all the Japs soldiers rushed towards Gao Hu's dilapidated position as if desperate.

    Of course, those at the front will always be the puppet troops!

    Although these puppet soldiers knew that charging forward would be a dead end, they could only do this under the drive of the Japs bayonets, otherwise the Japs supervising team behind would not let them go, so they had no choice but to charge bravely.

    However, Gao Hu and others have no sympathy for these puppet soldiers. Since they have chosen to be traitors, they must be prepared to be beaten to death.

    The Japanese and puppet troops were shot down one by one like weeds in the face of the strong firepower of the defenders. However, more Japanese soldiers came up to catch up. In less than twenty minutes, the Japanese soldiers on the front line were approaching more than 70 meters away from the defenders.  There are only more than thirty meters of the military position left.

    Gao Hu saw that it was almost done, and immediately ordered the soldiers to throw out all the grenades in their hands, and then asked each squadron to take turns to cover and withdraw from the position.

    "Whoosh whoosh"

    There was a sound of breaking through the air, and dense grenades were seen flying into the air and falling towards the charging Japanese and puppet troops.

    Everyone was so frightened that they turned around and ran away. The crowds were so dense that staying in front would lead to death!

    "Boom boom boom"

    The sound of explosions continued for a minute or two before stopping. At this time, there was silence on the battlefield!

    In front of such a dense grenade, even if it is not affected, the little devil will subconsciously fall to the ground!

    After the explosion, Major Sato, who was shaken and dizzy, shook the dirt off his body, then got up from the ground, and with a hoarse voice, ordered the Japanese and puppet troops on the ground to get up and continue the attack.

    Although there is lingering fear in the heart, although everyone is trembling with fear, the fear is not worth the order from the superior!

    Soon, the remaining hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops stood up again, and then launched a charge towards the garrison position!

    But at this time, Gao Hu and others had already retreated, and the Japanese army immediately occupied the position.

    However, Gao Hu and others also left a surprise for the little devil. Not long after the puppet troops entered and defended the position that day, a soldier suddenly stepped on a landmine. Before he could react, the mine exploded, and then the entire defender's position was  There were explosions one after another.

    After the explosion, Major Sato found that hundreds of soldiers who entered the garrison position were either dead or injured, and few of them were intact.

    But no matter what, they still occupied the garrison position, and he, the major captain, was finally secure!

    However, before Sato could be happy for a long time, the pursuing troops came back and reported that another defense line of the army was found two kilometers away. The "broken troops" all hid in the new position. The pursuing troops  The captured man was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

    Major Sato looked around at the soldiers around him and sighed, knowing that today's attack was not a good one.It's over. Even if we fight again, it will be a matter for other troops. Their first brigade is considered disabled.

    In fact, it was more than disabled. When the casualties were counted after the war, Sato was heartbroken to find that there were only more than 180 people left in his first brigade.  This also included more than thirty wounded.

    Before the attack, they still had more than 580 people. After the attack, more than 400 troops were killed.

    And this does not include the casualties of the Imperial Alliance Army, otherwise, this data will be even more ugly.

    What made him unable to let go was that they only found less than 400 corpses of the defenders on the garrison position. Even including the injured, the army did not exceed 600 people.

    Think about it, throughout the whole day, more than 1,300 people in the first brigade were killed and injured, and the Imperial Association Army successively sent one regiment and two battalions, at least more than 800 people were killed, and 300 were killed.  Many people were injured, and the total casualties on both sides were more than 2,400.

    2400vs600?

    4:1 casualties?

    This is something that Major Sato had never thought about before. If the Imperial Japanese Army's casualties were 1, the result would still be barely acceptable, but unfortunately, the position happened to be changed this time.

    However, the matter has come to this, and Major Sato has no room for recovery and can only report the situation to the 32nd Division Headquarters.

    After receiving the report from Major Sato, Kimura Hy¨­taro almost went crazy!

    Just to attack a line of defense, they paid the casualties of an infantry brigade and an artillery brigade, and also added an infantry regiment of the Imperial Association Army. Good guy, if this record was reported back, people would not laugh at it.

    This made Hy¨­taro Kimura couldn't help but think of Li Guoyao's previous opponents. Thinking about the imperial generals who had fought against Li Guoyao, none of them seemed to be able to win, which cast a shadow over his heart.

    In fact, at this time, not only Kimura Hy¨­taro and Sato Major were going crazy, but Takatora was also trembling with heartache!

    After retreating to the second line of defense, Gao Hu immediately ordered someone to count the casualties of the troops!

    Soon the casualty data came out. After nearly half a day of fighting, a total of 432 people of the Fourth Brigade were killed, 236 seriously injured, 165 slightly injured, and 21 missing, for a total of 854 people.

    After this battle, more than half of Gao Hu's troops suffered casualties, and the troops suffered heavy losses. The only good thing is that the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops were more than three times theirs. In addition, half of the more than 800 casualties were wounded. As long as they were treated in time,  , these wounded can still recover.

    Despite this, Gao Hu reported the casualty data to the headquarters as soon as possible!

    In the temporary headquarters, Li Guoyao was silent while holding the telegram sent by Gao Hu.

    It is indeed difficult for Li Guoyao to accept the more than 800 casualties in the army at the end of the day, but he feels relieved when he thinks that Gao Hu and others are facing the main force of the Japs, which is very powerful.

    Then Li Guoyao made some statistics. Yesterday, they annihilated two cavalry brigades of the Japs. In total, they wiped out more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops. According to what the shout said, the casualties of the Japs today were at least about 2,000, so that is  It is said that the total casualties of Kimura's troops in the past two days were about 3,000.

    The headquarters of the 32nd Division is only a little over 100 million, minus about 3,000 casualties. At this time, the strength of the division should still be about 7,000 to 8,000.

    In comparison, Li Guoyao mobilized four infantry brigades on this line, plus a cavalry brigade and artillery brigade, plus other technical arms, the total strength was about 7,000 people, and the Japanese army did not have an advantage in terms of strength.

    But Li Guoyao knew that he was not a match for Hy¨­taro Kimura yet. Although the Japs suffered more than 2,000 casualties today, the main force killed were puppet troops, and the real Japanese losses were not large.

    In comparison, what Gao Hu lost were all the elite forces of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps. The gap between the two is obvious.

    So we can¡¯t fight back now, and we have to hang the little devils and let them continue to drill into the trap!

    In view of this, Li Guoyao sent a telegram to Gao Hu, ordering them to continue to block the Japanese army on the second line of defense, and must hold on until dark tomorrow and withdraw immediately after dark.  same

    At that time, Li Guoyao sent another telegram with the same content to the Fifth Brigade and Sixth Brigade behind him, ordering them to use tomorrow to build their respective fortifications, preferably using cement and steel bars to build several permanent firepower points, and more importantly,  Dig more artillery-proof holes to avoid Japanese field artillery.

    ??Subsequently, Li Guoyao took the engineering brigade to visit Jiguanzi Valley in person!
