It wasn't until sixty or seventy people jumped into this deep trench that anyone discovered that it was impossible to get in and out.

Before I could jump into the trench, I realized at this time that the trench was a bit deep.

At the command post in the rear, Zhang Deyu kept watching the battle with a telescope with a serious look on his face.

His guard platoon leader smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss!

This group called the death camp only has about 200 people, and its predecessor was just a group of more than 30 bandits on Tiger Mountain.

By luck, I came across a puppet regiment that was unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese. It was said that there were only about 200 people in the regiment. As soon as these 200 people were attacked, they surrendered immediately.

What kind of combat effectiveness can their current components have, that is, more than thirty bandits, plus the 167 people who surrendered from the puppet army who were afraid of death!

And here we are!

When our regiment was protecting Commander Sun, we had a head-on confrontation with a Japanese field brigade. We had just killed more than 100 people, but more than 200 Japanese people had died at our hands!

Are the bandits in front of me stronger than a Japanese army brigade?"

Zhang Deyu also doesn’t have the airs of a group leader.

The reason why his regiment is so powerful in combat is not only because it has sophisticated weapons, sufficient training, and no deductions in food, supplies, and military pay, but also because their regiment is relatively united.

It can be said that it is a rare unit in the Jinsui Army where officers and soldiers work together.

Therefore, Zhang Deyu did not blame the guard platoon leader, but said seriously: "Although the opponent only has more than 200 people, the opponent is very capable of capturing a town occupied by the Japanese army.

Our group has a small number of people, and a slight oversight may cause heavy casualties."

The guard platoon leader disagreed: "Don't worry, commander!

I still don’t believe that an armed force composed of just a bandit and puppet army is more powerful than the Japanese!

Our regiment has never been careless in battles, and our training has been strict. I believe nothing serious will go wrong!

You see, the first battalion has already charged forward and rushed directly into the enemy's position. On the position should be the group of puppet soldiers who were afraid of death. They lost their position without firing a shot..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of fierce machine gun fire from the distant position, and then sporadic rifle sounds were heard.

Then I saw some officers and soldiers of the attacking battalion suddenly collapsed and ran down. Many people fell to the ground while running and never moved again.

However, nearly half of the people who ran down this road were suddenly missing.

In other words, a battalion of more than 200 people who rushed up with just one charge and then immediately ran down was reduced by half!

"Pass my order, artillery cover, and provide artillery cover 100 meters behind the retreating soldiers!"

The order was conveyed quickly, and two minutes later the bombardment started 100 meters behind the group of soldiers.

But Zhang Deyu looked through the telescope and saw that the bombardment was lonely. No one rushed out to cover up the killing, but the soldiers continued to fall to the ground during the retreat.

He could see from the telescope that even though the soldiers of the first battalion of his regiment were retreating, they were still covering each other's retreat, but they were alone.

They couldn't see where the enemy was, but they were hit and fell to the ground one after another. Even if they retreated more than 2,000 meters, they were still falling to the ground.

They can't see where the enemy is, but the enemy knows their location at any time, and then harvests them one by one out of sight.

When the first battalion returned to its main formation, there were only sixty or seventy people left out of more than 200.

The guard platoon leader was dumbfounded.

Zhang Deyu roared:

"Go and see if the first battalion commander is still alive?

If he is not dead, let him come to see me. Others are warning that we are not attacking now but defending!"

Zhang Deyu is now concerned about the Second Battalion. He hopes that the Second Battalion will be more vigilant and not rush in since they have seen the tragic situation of the First Battalion.

So he has no time to care about anything else now. He only cares about the direction of the Second Battalion. He hopes that the Second Battalion can be more flexible and not accept death.

"Go tell the second battalion commander to stop the attack and withdraw to defend!"

He only hoped that the second battalion commander could be more flexible and that the correspondent could run faster.

The second battalion commander did not launch an attack. He was stupid.

From where he was, he could just see the big trench on the battlefield. What happened in that deep trench?

There was a deep trench, more than two meters long. It was difficult for the soldiers who had just jumped in to climb up, because the edges of the trench were full of floating soil and they could not hold on.

You can't hold on to the edges with floating soil. Even if you are tall enough to jump up, you won't be able to hold on to those edges, and you will eventually have to slide down.

After he saw sixty or seventy soldiers jumping into the trench, machine guns opened fire from the bunkers at both ends of the trench.

Then he discovered to his horror that he had never seen anyone kill sixty or seventy people so quickly. Even if he fought against the toughest kid, it took him only an hour to kill more than 100 people.

Their regiment even received an order that because of its strong combat effectiveness, they would be used as sharp knives against the Eighth Route Army in two months.

As a close confidant of the regiment leader, he was still clear about the regiment commander's orders. However, the troops regarded as sharp knives by Commander Sun, perhaps even the most powerful troops in the Jinsui Army, lost six soldiers in one trench in just one encounter.

Seventy people.

This is not over yet!

The tragic scene in the trench caused the soldiers who followed to quickly stop jumping down.

But they still can't be safe outside, because since the opponent has designed such a trap, there must be precautions. How should the enemy respond if they don't jump into the trap?

Therefore, the soldiers who stopped in time were still shot.

Looking from the side of the second battalion commander, we can clearly see that there is an unexpected place, a hole is actually exposed, and a Type 92 heavy machine gun is firing accurately in bursts.

Although the Type 92 heavy machine gun has a low rate of fire, it is very stable and accurate. It can even be used as a sniper rifle with a scope installed, so this machine gun is extremely lethal.

More than a dozen other soldiers who did not jump into the trench and were fired upon by machine guns were easily killed by heavy rifles.

Is this the end?

Of course not.

He could see clearly here that there was not a single enemy on the position, but gun muzzles were popping up one after another in the holes.

In front of a group of soldiers who couldn't find the enemy, he killed them calmly and defeated them.

It's not that the soldiers of the first battalion are not brave, it's actually that even if they are brave, they can't find the enemy among the lightning and flint!

This is the problem.

Therefore, the second battalion commander did not dare to move.

Although he could see clearly from the flank, he was not sure that what he saw was all there was to it.

So he didn't dare to attack, because even if he attacked, his soldiers would not have the ability to deal with the guns and people under these holes.

He even saw the first battalion commander fall under a cold gun. After the first battalion commander fell, the soldiers of the first battalion became a mess, and then fell one after another on the way to evacuate.

Of the more than 200 people, when they evacuated to the main formation near the village, only less than 1/3 remained.

How terrible!

There were only about 60 people left out of more than 200 people, how terrifying!

When the regimental commander's messenger found him, he also retreated cautiously. He was relieved by the regimental commander's order and asked his soldiers to speed up their evacuation, fearing that the other party would notice that he still had a battalion of soldiers here.

When he led the second battalion back to the artillery position, he joined the guard and then found the regiment commander himself.

"Captain, this is terrible!

I just saw on the wing that in less than 10 minutes, nearly 1/3 of the brothers were killed!

This is a tough nut, and only people like us can’t crack it!”

Zhang Deyu's heart was bleeding. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you see on the flank?"

The second battalion commander quickly told him what he had just seen, and then said: "I'm afraid there are more sinister traps somewhere I didn't see!

Commander, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. At this time, we know ourselves but not the enemy, which is the reason for this failure!

Our information is absolutely wrong!

The opponent can't be just thirty old bandits, plus one hundred and sixty-seven puppet troops!

This is absolutely impossible!

Maybe some military academy genius would come up with such a vicious trap!"

Suddenly at this time, the second battalion commander thought of a question. If such traps and settings can be done on the hillside, why can't they be done in the village?

When he thought about this problem, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

He grabbed the regiment leader Zhang Deyu in horror: "Captain, quickly order the entire regiment to withdraw from this village!

I suspect that the other party has dug the same trap in this village. I don't believe that the other party will give up such an excellent position. No need!

The more complex the village environment, the more suitable it is for digging traps!

Commander, retreat quickly!"

As soon as Zhang Deyu heard this, someone knocked a gong in his mind. His brain was buzzing. He felt his nose go cold, and when he touched it with his hand, he found that he had nosebleeds because of his own anger.

"Send my order and quickly move out of this village!"

However, they found it too late.
