There will be casualties when fighting. Ma Dongyun still underestimated the Japanese army's combat effectiveness in field battles, and also overestimated the role of the trenches in the face of the Japanese.

A round of shells and grenades hit, and the tenth company, which had already suffered heavy losses, was almost blown up.

Fortunately, these new recruits in the Tenth Company were former anti-Japanese veterans and knew that they would not have any good results in being captured by the Japanese. Therefore, in the face of heavy casualties, no one chose to retreat or surrender, and they were gritting their teeth and persevering.

"Company Commander, there are more than 20 soldiers left in the entire company!" As soon as the Japanese artillery fire was about to stop, the platoon leader reported with a calm face.

"Let everyone prepare for battle, gather all the grenades together, and hit them like before, smash them out in the shortest time, and we retreat after throwing the grenades. If we don't leave for an extra minute here, our mission is completed!"

The long row of the row couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as you retreat, the remaining few people in the entire company will survive, and a row will not be destroyed on the battlefield.

More than a hundred Japanese, layer by layer, rushed towards the mountainside like waves.

The six heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese and more than a dozen light machine guns were fired at the mountainside just like money. The whizzing bullets wove a dense bullet net above the head of the Tenth Company, which made everyone not even have the chance to show their heads.

"Preparation of grenades!" Ma Dongyun ordered when the Japanese were more than 40 meters away from the defense line.

"So fast?" a row leader couldn't help but remind.

"Company Commander, now throw the grenade out, you can't blow up the Japanese!"

"Our military strength is not as strong as half of the time. When the Japanese approach, they will throw them away. Then they will not even have a chance to retreat. Moreover, our blocking round is not about killing many Japanese." Ma Dongyun explained with a frown.

In fact, there was one thing he hadn't said in his mind.

Now throwing grenades can form a fire belt formed by grenade fragments in front of the Japanese, blocking all the Japanese in this line, allowing them to gather together, and maximize the power of the heavy machine gun.

Because of limited time, he did not explain in detail, so that his subordinates could learn in battle.

"Take the grenades! Throw all the grenades out, and then retreat!" Ma Dongyun ordered decisively, and threw the grenades in his hand out.

"Boom boom boom..."

A violent explosion rang out in front of the position.

The Japanese were not willing to fall behind, and they were desperately firing shells and grenade launchers into the trenches.

The Japanese attacking, despite the rush, were not so stupid that they continued to rush forward even though they knew that they were dying ahead.

Everyone stopped outside the grenade explosion area, and after the artillery and grenade launcher bombed the Eighth Route Army exposed in the trench, they continued to rush forward and took down the Eighth Route Army positions in one go.

At the foot of the mountain, all the Japanese and puppet troops were staring at the battlefield, especially Major Ida, who stared at the battlefield without blinking.

Whether I can block the Eighth Route Army before it slips away again depends on the attack in front of me. If I can't break through here, I will have to stay here at least for at least twenty minutes longer. This is definitely not the result that Major Ida wants to see.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army seems to have fewer grenades thrown out!" The adjutant next to him shouted with excitement on his face.

"Order the troops to prepare for the attack. This time, we must take down the Eighth Route Army blocking position in front of us. We cannot delay here anymore!" Major Ida's tense face showed a rare smile, and then gritted his teeth and ordered.

At this moment, Major Ida suddenly saw the offensive troops blocking the mountain on the battlefield lying on the ground in groups.

Because the entire battlefield was filled with guns and cannons fired by the Japanese, the heavy machine guns placed on the top of the second battalion suddenly joined the battle, which did not attract much attention.

It was not until more and more Japanese were killed that the Japanese found these three heavy machine guns in the direction of the bullets flying over.

"Baga, the cunning Chinese man actually hid a heavy machine gun on the top of the mountain! The heavy machine gun troops will immediately counterattack, suppress their machine gun firepower, cover the troops and rush forward, and kill them!" The shocked Major Ida felt that he was being fooled, and instantly turned into an angry lion, cursing and ordering.

Then he added: "The artillery also fought back and destroyed the Eighth Route Army heavy machine gun positions on the top of the mountain."

Xiao Yunshan did not intend to use three heavy machine guns to fight the Japanese hard, that would be a death sentence.

After the three heavy machine guns fired, the gunshots never stopped. The whizzing bullets flew towards the Japanese like rain.

After firing out all the hundreds of bullets brought in at least a short time, regardless of whether the Japanese started to fight back or not, a group of several machine gunners began to retreat with heavy machine guns!

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army of the Tujiao who was standing in front of us has retreated!" A few minutes later, the squadron leader of the first squadron responsible for the attack hurried over, then lowered his head and replied, his face looking very bad.

Major Ida can't control so many. Although he is not sure about the casualties of the first squadron, he sees the battle just now, and the casualties are definitely small.

If the Eighth Route Army still causes such great casualties, it would be a big loss if the Eighth Route Army was under its nose.

Before he could tell, he ordered: "Continue to move forward, march forward quickly, first kill to the Eighth Route Army base, block them before talking about other things!"

"Hi!" the squadron leader replied with a sigh of relief.

The Japanese and puppet troops, who had lost nearly a hundred people, continued to rush forward with murderous intent.

"Sir, there is still a little more than one kilometer of grenades, the Eighth Route Army base!" After walking for almost an hour, the adjutant reminded with excitement on his face.

The victory and defeat are right in front of you! Major Ida thought to himself, and his eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, and then ordered.

"The troops are ready for combat ~ If the Eighth Route Army has not yet moved, there will definitely be a tough battle waiting for us next!"

"Did you contact the command center for air support?"

The adjutant quickly replied: "Hi! The Brigade Command called back, and as long as we need it, the aviation force will arrive in an hour and a half at the latest!"

"Yo Xi!" Major Ida's eyes became even hotter.

He ordered decisively: "The contact with the brigade command cannot be broken. As long as we block the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we will immediately call for air support!"

"The troops continue to advance. As soon as the infantry artillery squad arrives, they will choose their own positions outside the village to arrange artillery positions. Mortar troops and heavy machine gun troops will attack with the team and strive to enter the village directly!"

The confident Major Ida led his troops to continue rushing forward. When the vanguard troops could already see the entrance of the village, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded on the high ground next to the entrance of the village.

"With troops blocking the entrance of the village, the Eighth Route Army in the village has definitely not completely retreated!" The sudden blocking force not only did not disappoint and worry Major Ida, but instead dispelled his concerns about whether the Eighth Route Army had slipped away.

He frowned and ordered: "Architecture, concentrate firepower and flatten the high ground for me!"

"The Second Squadron, heavy machine gun squad, is ready to attack and directly enter the village."

"The Imperial Army then followed up, and the First Squadron supervised the battle behind the palace. All Imperial Army troops can only advance but not retreat, otherwise military law will be carried out!"

Six mortars and two infantry cannons are divided into two artillery positions, and the shells hit the high ground just like money.

Not long after, the high ground was covered with strong smoke from the explosion of shells, and fires mixed with a large amount of black smoke kept rising and dust flying!
