Zhou Weiguo came to the map and looked at it. He found that this place was really difficult to fight.

"Never mind, let's go over and take a look." Zhou Weiguo motioned for the people around him to put away the map, then put his hands on his hips and added, "As usual, the first, second, and fourth companies will follow me, the fifth company will be ready, the medical soldiers will go with the battalion headquarters, and the quartermaster department will notify Xiao Ye to stop showing off his eloquence over there and come over quickly to pick up the spoils."

Boom...boom...

After two days of rest, the independent battalion rushed to the front line again.

During the march, they would occasionally encounter a shell fired from that direction, and destroyed houses and burning debris could be seen everywhere around them.

The wreckage of what should be a Japanese bomber was not far away. It had been torn into pieces and no one knew which unit had shot it down.

There were bodies of their own soldiers on the ground, probably because they didn't have time to clean them up.

"Liu Jun, arrange for someone to collect the bodies of these brothers. If there is no time to bury them, take their armbands and burn them for me."

It was a hot day, and the corpses would start to stink in less than a day under the scorching sun. One or two corpses would be fine, but if there were too many, it would cause an epidemic. Not only would he have a good life, but I would also have a hard time.

"Got it. Second Platoon, stay here and pick up the bodies."

Passing through a group of houses that were bombed to the point where only their frames were left, Zhou Weiguo and his men arrived at the place they wanted to attack.

"Spread out, everyone spread out, get into the main attack position, the second and fourth companies will assist in the defense, snipers, snipers will occupy the commanding heights and shoot them from behind."

Zhou Weiguo gave the order in a few seconds, then lay down in a piece of broken tiles and observed the situation in the distance with a telescope.

The Japanese troops pulled up the barbed wire in front and piled up sandbags to set up a simple machine gun position in the back. It can be seen faintly that behind their machine gun position is a mortar defense position, and further back, there are tanks parked.

The Japanese headquarters was located at 11 o'clock, more than 300 meters away from here, in a building that had not collapsed and on which a heavy machine gun was mounted.

Looking at the stacked firepower deployment. Triangle defense. Mortars are placed everywhere, and one of their armored vehicles is also pulled to the front. Behind the sandbags.

"Weiguo, the machine gun positions have completely blocked our way forward, and their mortars should have also formed a second strike. If we attack forcefully, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses." Fang Shengli said after a brief estimate.

Zhou Weiguo nodded; "You are right, but we have no choice. It is not convenient to go around on either side."

"How the hell do I fight this?" Fang Shengli complained as he sat on the ground.

Zhou Weiguo squatted beside him and thought for a while; "Attack at night."

at night?

Fang Shengli looked up and saw that it was about an hour before dark. Attacking at night was indeed a good choice.

But there were casualties.

"Go tell Gao Yun to put the anti-aircraft machine gun on the truck. Use the truck to find iron plates and block the front. Don't let the enemy hit our people. When you are ready, wait in the back for the tank to come."

Using anti-aircraft machine guns and tanks to clear the way, the infantry followed suit. The firepower was so fierce and the anti-aircraft machine guns swept them, making it impossible for them to organize an effective defense.

"Battalion Commander, what can we do?" Xu Hu squatted nearby. He planned to set off tomorrow to take out all the things and transport them to his wife. Before that, he followed Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and pointed to the distance; "Go over there and blow up their evacuation route. If possible, move forward and destroy their headquarters. Remember, the tanks and armored vehicles are mine. If you see anyone who dares to attack them, kill them."

Xu Hu knelt on one knee and nodded; "Captain, leave it to me."

It was getting dark. Captain Fujita, who was in charge of guarding the place, looked into the distance and then returned to his headquarters.

The sounds of artillery fire and gunfire gradually faded away, and no sound could be heard around.

"Sir, there is a battalion of enemies across from us. They are deployed in a fan-shaped formation. Do you think they will attack us at night?"

"So what?" Fujita picked up his teacup and chuckled. "We have three tanks and two armored vehicles. In addition, there are several Type 92 infantry guns in the back. What can they use to attack?"

The order he received was to defend this place, wait for the main force to arrive, then rush over from here, divide their forces into two, and then annihilate them.

The main force has not arrived yet. The superiors have judged that the enemy may launch a fierce attack from here. In the case of insufficient manpower, they can only let themselves come first.

With such a strong defense, Fujita couldn't figure out how they would get through.

He had already shamelessly pulled up barbed wire in front to form an outer defense line, so he didn't believe that the enemy could break through.

Not to mention that it was just a battalion, even if a division came, they wouldn't be able to get through.

"Rest assured and have a good rest. Our main force will arrive tomorrow at noon. By then, the battle will be over." Fujita waved his hand nonchalantly.

He firmly believed that the other party could not do anything to him.

Fujita went to lie down on the simple camp bed next to him.

Opposite him, Zhou Weiguo put on his helmet and came to the tank.

He patted the tank and his eyes fell on the five trucks next to it.

The fronts and roofs of these trucks were covered with iron plates or sandbags. Three trucks were equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, and the others were equipped with heavy machine guns. Several motorcycles also had Czech machine guns.

This is their own assault corps. Although it is small, it focuses on strong firepower. Next to them, there are two platoons of assault teams. They all use submachine guns, and each of them has a grenade. Snipers are also among them. They are responsible for clearing out stragglers.

Fang Shengli picked up his submachine gun and came to Zhou Weiguo. "The troops are ready. When will we attack?"

Zhou Weiguo raised his head and looked at the sky.

The weather is bad today. It is pitch black and there is no light at all.

"Dawn attack. Let's do a blitzkrieg."

Dawn is the time when people are most sleepy. He has been well-trained during his daily life, so he cannot help but rest. Attacking at that time will be most advantageous for him.

"Okay, there are still a few hours left. I'll let everyone rest. Also, Xiao Ye has come up, and their people are behind. As soon as we get through, they will immediately advance."

Ono was sure. He came at dusk and told me excitedly that he had already hooked up with the Sichuan Army. They needed more arms and had paid some money, so they were just waiting to rob here.

Zhou Weiguo nodded, but before he could agree to rest, a messenger quickly came to Zhou Weiguo and handed him a document. "Captain Zhou, urgent document from the division headquarters."
