The battle on the battlefield was extremely fierce. The soldiers of the 2nd Company approached the artillery tower several times but retreated sadly - a heavy machine gun that was not in the calculation made the seven soldiers who approached the artillery tower hate each other.

"Damn it!" The 2nd platoon leader took off his hat angrily and smashed it hard on the ground. In the more than 40 minutes of battle, the 2nd platoon had to rush under the artillery tower twice, but he never broke through the last little distance.

Looking at the 9 corpses standing on the attack road, the leader of the 2nd roar yelled: "Sun Dazhu, can you still get on?"

"Yes!" Sun Dazhu yelled.

The 2nd platoon leader roared: "Then let's go with me! 2nd platoon! Fight with me!"

"yes!"

The remaining dozen soldiers from the 2nd row launched a charge again.

Zheng Yingqi, not far away, also shouted with red eyes: "Monk! Take a group of cover! Second group! Follow me!"

The 2nd Company Commander looked at the 2nd platoon and started charging again, shouting in the directions of the 1st and 3rd platoons: "Plane 1st! Round 3rd! Go!"

The 1st platoon leader and the 3rd platoon leader did not hear the roar of the company commander on the cover position, but after the 2nd platoon charge again, the two platoon leaders were also anxious and took the lead in rushing.

Under their leadership, many soldiers once again mustered up the courage to charge towards the artillery tower that continued to spit out their tongues.

The Japanese in the artillery tower cursed, "Are these eighth leaders' lives apart?" More than 40 casualties were killed or injured in more than 40 minutes. Will they not retreat yet?

"Fire the gun! Don't let them get close to the artillery tower!" The Japanese sergeant in the artillery tower commanded, and they had no way out at this moment.

The Eighth Route Army's slight cover suddenly became silent. The 2nd Company Commander flew to the dull machine gun position and roared and angrily: "What's going on? Why is it dead?"

"The magazine is stuck." The machine gunner said while tidying up with his deputy. The 2nd Company Commander looked at the more vegetable oil next to him and copied it in his hand. After the two of them took out the stuck magazine, he poured most of the vegetable oil into the magazine and roared and shouted: "Don't save blood oil! The machine gun cannot stop! It cannot stop!" (Interested friends can search for the problem of the wicked hand...)

The machine gun after the re-supplying bullets roared again, but the second company commander had just walked away and the machine gun was silent again. The second company commander turned around in anger and saw that the shooter was hit by a bullet and fell on the crooked handle. The deputy shooter did not take over the first time, but was shaking the shooter in a daze, trying to wake him up.

The 2nd company commander rushed over again, pushed away his comrade-in-arms who were still twitching, and shouted at the deputy archer: "Fill me with ammunition!"

The deputy woke up from his dream and continued to help in panic.

The blood-stained slut, continued to open fire to cover it.

Under the cover of friendly forces, this time the 2nd Platoon finally approached the artillery tower, but the losses were also amazing - 18 people, only 9 people arrived under the artillery tower.

The only entrance to the artillery tower was sealed inside, and several soldiers kicked it hard with irritable force, but the wooden door did not move at all.

"Get the explosive pack!" Zheng Yingqi rushed to the front and stopped the soldiers' crazy but futile behavior. The soldiers woke up like a dream, but found that there was no explosive pack next to the person who attacked.

When the 4th squad leader Sun Dazhu saw that the second platoon leader with the explosive bag fell more than 20 meters away from the artillery tower.

"I'll get the explosive pack!"

"Wait!" Zheng Yingqi shouted anxiously, but Sun Dazhu didn't care about Zheng Yingqi's shouting at all. He ran to the position of the corpse of the second platoon leader regardless of everything.

But just when it was less than 3 meters away from the second platoon, the roar of the 92-heavy machine gun sounded. With the sound of dazing, Sun Dazhu's body turned into several pieces with the splatter of blood.

"No!"

Zheng Yingqi watched his squad leader die under a heavy machine gun, and his eyes turned red. A soldier from Squad 4 saw that the squad leader died in battle. Facing the bloody faced, he rushed over without hesitation, and wanted to continue the unfulfilled wish of the squad leader. He just rushed out a few steps but was knocked to the ground by Zheng Yingqi.

"I'll go!" Zheng Yingqi stopped the soldier and then shouted to the 2nd team leader Wang Gensheng: "Grenade preparation! Delay 3 and a half seconds to throw it upwards!"

Without hesitation, Wang Gensheng took out the Type 98 grenade seized by the Japanese army. The Type 98 grenade delay fuse detonation time is 4 seconds to 5 seconds, and the delay is three and a half seconds to throw it, which is equivalent to handing over his life to the King of Hell, but Wang Gensheng did not hesitate at all.

"1,2...3! Throw!" Zheng Yingqi counted himself, and as he threw the grenade out, Wang Gensheng threw the grenade out.

Generally speaking, a grenade is helpless when a wall that is one meter thick. Even if it is thrown into the perforation hole, the tilted outward will cause the grenade to roll down by itself. However, this grenade that was delayed and thrown out exploded as soon as it was thrown into the perforation hole.

The grenade after a narrow explosion occurred, and the fragments burst out towards the inwardly expanded perforation hole, instantly reimbursed the heavy machine gun shooter, and even the barrel of the heavy machine gun was deformed due to the impact of the fragments.

Amid the explosion, Zheng Yingqi rushed out, rushed to the body of the second platoon leader, picked up the explosive bag and ran away. A light machine gun was aimed at Zheng Yingqi at this time. Zheng Yingqi raced against the light machine gun's bullet rain within a short distance of ten meters, but finally saved his life from the god of death because of the traditional five-fire interval of the crooked hand.

"Blast the door!"

Zheng Yingqi handed the blood-stained explosive pack to his comrades. A few seconds later, an explosion came, and the wooden door of the artillery tower turned into annihilation powder during the explosion.

A soldier couldn't wait to rush in, but the moment he entered the artillery tower, he fell to the ground with the banging gunshots.

"Twist the grenade up the door," Zheng Yingqi said to Wang Gensheng beside him: "Take the string together, and I'll throw it together!"

"yes!"

Wang Gensheng responded without hesitation. Both of them chose the Japanese Type 98 grenades. Under this micro-operation, the grenades made in the border areas were too unreliable.

Zheng Yingqi held the grenade and shouted "pull", and the two of them activated the grenade together. Zheng Yingqi whispered to count. In the third second, he used throwing instead of counting. The two of them threw the grenade diagonally upward through the exploded artillery towers.

The grenade exploded before it landed in the air. Several Japanese who aimed at the gate were burping directly without even humming.

Zheng Yingqi rushed into the artillery tower before the smoke from the explosion was dispersed. The entire first floor of debris had become a mess because of the explosion. The Japanese also drew a ladder leading to the second floor. The Japanese did not design the stairs where the gun tower was designed. It was for this situation that the Eighth Route Army, who broke into the door, had to launch a cruel battle layer by layer to force the gun tower.

The Japanese can even deliberately abandon the first layer, so that the attackers below cannot use grenades to achieve the purpose of attack.

At this time, the comrades from the 1st and 3rd rows also rushed over. Faced with the Japanese's behavior of pulling ladders in the room, the 1st platoon leader who had been prepared immediately shouted: "Ladder! Prepare for a strong attack!"

A row of soldiers carrying a short ladder wanted to rush in. Zheng Yingqi hurriedly stopped him: "No! There will be casualties in this way! Let's set a fire on the first floor to force these dogs to death!"

A row of chiefs' eyes lit up, then his eyes faded, and he shouted to Zheng Yingqi: "It's too late! The Oda Squadron is about to pounce! You must take down the artillery tower immediately!"

Time is too urgent at this time. Once the artillery tower cannot be taken down as a firepower support, a squadron of Japanese soldiers will easily eat the second company, which is less than 100 people!

Zheng Yingqi understood the helplessness of the platoon leader, but asked the soldiers to attack with their lives. He was unwilling to accept it, so he rushed to say, "Plane leader, give me the pistol! I'll attack!"

The Independent Regiment is not equipped with submachine guns. If there is a submachine gun, the success rate of rushing to the building will be higher with the high-fire firepower suppression. Now you can only use a thug gun to make up the numbers.

"Okay! Zheng Yingqi, I will definitely take this place for me!" The platoon leader did not refuse Zheng Yingqi, and after he asked the pistol to Zheng Yingqi, he shouted to the soldiers in the first platoon: "Attack Team! Keep up with Zheng Yingqi!"

Zheng Yingqi held a pistol in his right hand and a 38-large cover in his left hand, pressed his hat on the bayonet, stepped on the first floor of the wooden ladder, and slowly raised the gun. When the hat just passed the seventh floor of the wooden ladder, a gunshot sounded and a bullet hole appeared on the hat.

The moment the gunshot sounded, Zheng Yingqi suddenly jumped up while stepping on the ladder, holding the muffler in both hands and emerging on the second floor. What caught his eye was a Japanese soldier pulling the bolt. Zheng Yingqi pulled the trigger and shot the Japanese soldier who had just completed the bolt pulling action.

Then he grabbed the second floor of the artillery tower with only one hand, suddenly exerted force and took the opportunity to take the ladder, rolled up to the second floor, fell to the ground, holding a gun to the entrance of the third floor, and was hit by Zheng Yingqi the moment a Japanese man emerged.

"Grenade!"

The shouts of Japanese soldiers came upstairs. After a light knock, a grenade was thrown down from the third floor.

Zheng Yingqi suddenly flipped over and caught the grenade that he threw down, then threw it hard, and hit the wall at the entrance of the third floor. The grenade jumped to the third floor.

"ah!"

The Japanese army screamed in horror, and the next second the scream was drowned by the explosion. At the same time, even the gunshots from the artillery tower stopped halfway.

...

On the other hand, Oda Squadron had completed the encirclement of the 2nd Company and was striving to rush towards the artillery building area.

The 2nd company commander finally returned to the command role. He looked back with a telescope and his face turned blue-purple - the Japanese army was less than three miles away from the artillery tower!

Seeing that the Japanese had completed the siege and had already rushed over, the 2nd Company Commander was about to order the attack on the artillery tower. The entire company gathered to find a position to fight the Japanese to the death, but at this moment, the gunshots from the direction of the artillery tower suddenly decreased by half.

"Company Commander! Look, the third floor of the artillery tower is silent!"

The 2nd Company Commander was overjoyed, and there was no way out!

"Move near the artillery tower! Establish a position and be prepared to fight the Japanese!" The 2nd company commander ordered.

In the artillery tower, under the ground where the two-shaped grenade grenades, Wang Gensheng and Zheng Yingqi, were washed by the two-shaped grenades, the fourth floor occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops also changed hands, but in order to take the fourth floor, three soldiers fell on the climb.

The artillery tower was approaching from a high place, and you could see the Japanese who were slowly pressing down a little faster as the gunfire sounds in the artillery tower came to an abrupt end.

"Oda Squadron is here!"

Zheng Yingqi looked at the Japanese who thought they were sure to win and wanted to take revenge and showed a bloodthirsty look. In the battle of attacking the artillery tower, there were too many casualties in the second company, which made Zheng Yingqi almost crazy.

A platoon leader looked at the remaining soldiers of the 2nd platoon with heavy casualties and said, "Everyone is ready, comrades from the 2nd platoon, you guard the artillery tower, the first platoon, follow me, we will go outside to build a position and fight the Japanese to the death!"

The 2nd Platoon was the main attack this time, and the casualties were too terrible. The platoon leader was killed, and all three squad leader were killed. The 34-man 2nd Platoon was still standing in the artillery tower, and only 6 people were there. Therefore, the 1st Platoon leader asked the 2nd Platoon to guard the artillery tower. After all, guarding the artillery tower is relatively safe, so that the 2nd Platoon can retain some fire in the next battle.

Zheng Yingqi took the initiative to take over the command of the remaining troops of the 2nd Platoon, and the first order he issued was:

"Release the bodies of the Japanese and puppet troops to the top of the artillery tower!"

"yes!"

Under the artillery tower, the second company commander and the rest of his subordinates rushed over and used the first floor of the artillery tower as a temporary medical center. More than a dozen wounded soldiers were placed in it. While the Japanese had not arrived, the second company commander asked someone to count the number of people. The report almost made the second company commander cry.

"Company Commander, a total of 39 people were killed in my company, 26 wounded, of which 18 have lost their combat effectiveness, and only eight people can fight. There are also two people killed in the sharpshooter squad."

Before the attack, the 2nd Company had 109 people in four platoons. Together with Zheng Yingqi's sharpshooter squad, the entire company had 119 people, but now 41 people were killed, plus 18 seriously injured, only 60 people were left to fight!

Half a company is equivalent to being beaten away!

"I'm your little Japanese devil!" The second company commander cursed, but he quickly suppressed his anger because in the next hour, the second company with only 60 combat units would have to face the attack of two hundred devils - and these devils were equipped with three heavy machine guns and as many as nine grenade launchers.

Although these firepowers do not pose a great threat to the artillery tower, it is a fatal thing for the 2nd Company that has formed a position based on the artillery tower!

"Tell Zheng Yingqi that boy, the sharpshooter squad did not play a role when shooting the artillery tower. Now he is guarding the artillery tower. If I'm sorry for the regiment commander criticizing so many bullets during training, I will not recognize him as a soldier!" The second company commander hissed, but unexpectedly, Zheng Yingqi's head appeared from the watchtower of the artillery tower:

"Company Commander, just watch!"

"Okay, I'll watch it today!" The 2nd Company Commander responded, and then stepped up urging the others - the Japanese have made preparations before the attack, and they must prepare their positions as soon as possible.

...

On the mountain, Li Yunlong watched Oda Squadron launch an offensive formation, but never ordered the troops to start moving.

Li Yunlong could hold it back, but Zhao Gang couldn't help it anymore. The casualties of the 2nd Company were too heavy. He was afraid that the 2nd Company would not be able to hold on, so he urged Li Yunlong: "Captain, the Japanese are going to attack. Should we let our soldiers prepare to encircle?"

"No, I can't move now. Oda's dog-dance is too vigilant. Look at their encirclement, a small team is always tightly held in the hands of this boy without moving. Our people cannot move now. If Oda detects it, they will be ruined." Li Yunlong said unwillingly: "We must wait. When the Japanese army is fully engaged in the battle, our personnel can arrange the encirclement. Correspondents, pass on my orders. Without my orders, each company must not act rashly!"
