  Chen Jun commanded the headquarters, Wang Dinghua held up a pair of binoculars and looked at the village not far away.

  He couldn't describe his emotions, as a seasoned warrior, he had never encountered such an opponent before. His unit had already suffered over 2,000 casualties so far, and the number of troops that could continue to fight was less than 4,000.

  "They are well-equipped with weapons, with many heavy machine guns and artillery. Light machine guns are everywhere to be seen, they have a kind of weapon that is better than the flower machine gun, if we want to take down the village, I'm afraid we will have to pay a terrible price." The chief of staff walked to Wang Dinghua's side, saying with a helpless face.

  Wang Dinghua's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he looked at his chief of staff beside him, unsure of what to say.

  "What's the situation with Commander Lin, is there any progress?" Wang Dinghua asked hastily, hoping that Lin Hu's main force could make some progress, so that they could withdraw some heavy weapons to support their own battle here.

  "Commander Lin's progress there isn't great either, these doll soldiers may be few in number, but their combat capabilities are very strong." The chief of staff replied.

  Wang Dinghua looked at the map, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. He now had less than 4,000 combat troops left. If he continued to engage in battle, he might lose everything he had. Moreover, he was not a direct subordinate of Chen Jiongming, and his weapons and equipment were the worst among all of Chen's military units.

  "General, I think the village's militia must also be exhausted and out of supplies. Why don't we launch a strong attack? Maybe we can defeat them. After a day of fighting, they are already at their last moment. If we give up now, it would be such a waste." The chief of staff looked at Wang Dinghua and expressed his suggestion.

  Although Wang Dinghua was a military man, after a day of fighting, he could already see that the village's Wa army was well-equipped. His own troops, even if they were all thrown in, would probably be wiped out.

  "Colonel, General Lin's command is that our troops must resolve the defenders in the village before dawn and assist the main force to attack Mianhu, otherwise we will be subject to military law." The communication soldier came over from outside and reported the situation.

  Wang Ding's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he helplessly waved his hand.

  The chief of staff saluted and walked out towards the outside.

  In a short while, a thousand-strong troop quickly gathered and launched another attack.

  Inside the village, infantrymen were ready, some with light and heavy machine guns carefully aiming, waiting for Chen's troops to approach.

  The ammunition being transported from the command center to the surroundings is already on its way. As long as these ammunitions are transported to each firepower point before Chen Jun's troops attack, the members of the assault team will not have to go to their deaths.

  "Comrades, everyone understands the situation. As long as Chen Jun's troops launch an attack, even if we exhaust ourselves, we must stop Chen Jun's troops' attack and give each firepower point time to fight back." Deputy Regiment Commander Yang Houqing stood in front of the assault team members, shouting loudly.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the four 75mm field guns of the artillery company began to open fire.

  No need for Yang Houqing to say it, the team members already knew what was going on. Chen Jun's troops were attacking from above.

  The infantrymen in the village began to open fire, but with rifle fire alone, they were unable to suppress the numerous Chen troops.

  "Deputy battalion commander, Chen Jun's soldiers are rushing up!" a platoon leader shouted at Yang Houqin.

  "Comrades, charge with me!" Yang Houqing shouted loudly, holding a Thompson submachine gun.

  The team members closely followed Yang Houqing and launched a counterattack against Chen Jun's troops.

  Inside the Third Battalion Command Center.

  "Captain, we've run out of heavy machine gun ammunition and there aren't many rifle bullets left either." Staff officer Chen Shan rushed over from outside with a tense look on his face, saying to Sun Xinghua.

  Sun Xinghua was stunned when he heard this news.

  "Hurry, order each company's assault group, infantry to counterattack, cannot let Chen Jun's troops rush in." Sun Xinghua quickly gave the command.

  He had never thought that his troops would run out of ammunition, and the military supply truck that seemed to be able to supply the troops' consumption forever was actually empty.

  "Warning: Ammunition is running low, currently engaged in combat, unable to replenish temporarily."

  At this moment, the intelligent computer said a sentence.

  Sun Xinghua almost collapsed to the ground, at this time unable to replenish ammunition, undoubtedly will be the death of the three battalions.

  Although American-style weapons can exert powerful forces, Sun Xinghua forgot one thing, that is, the premise of having American-style weapons is to have a strong logistical supply capability.

  The Americans lacked something in the process of fighting, and they could make up for it at any time. This is what Sun Xinghua's intelligent computer cannot do.

  "Battalion Commander, we've run out of shells." Hu Zongnan walked in from outside and said to Sun Xinghua.

  "Order the troops, all fix bayonets." Sun Xinghua shouted loudly.

  After giving orders, Sun Xinghua held the Thompson submachine gun from the battalion headquarters and ran outwards.

  Outside the village, on the empty ground.

  Over a thousand Chen Jun soldiers, carrying rifles, slowly approached the village.

  After suffering no casualties, Chen's soldiers began to quicken their pace.

  However, just as they approached the village, thirty-six soldiers armed with Thompson submachine guns launched a counterattack against Chen's troops.

  The intense firepower brought down one by one the soldiers at the forefront of Chen's army.

  But just as the government soldiers were changing bullets, Chen Jun's soldiers began to open fire.

  "Deputy company commander." A platoon leader shouted loudly, but Yang Houqin in front had no chance to dodge. A bullet hit his head and he fell to the ground.

  The Chen army soldiers had already surrounded them, and the remaining twenty-one warriors were surrounded by the Chen army soldiers.

  The warriors didn't have time to change bullets and directly wielded their submachine guns, engaging in a fierce bayonet fight with the Chen army soldiers.

  "Battalion Commander, the assault team has been surrounded." When Sun Xinghua rushed to the front line, Shen Jian pointed at the troops in front and shouted loudly.

  "Shen Lianchang, immediately organize the remaining light machine guns and Thompson submachine guns to sneak up behind the enemy. If you see the enemy's command post, direct the assault team to wipe out the enemy's command post. If you don't encounter a command post, disrupt the enemy's rear." Sun Xinghua gave the order right away.

  "Yes, Battalion Commander." Shen Jian did not hesitate and hastily saluted.

  "Comrades, order the troops to fix bayonets and charge with me!" Sun Xinghua handed Thompson's submachine gun to Shen Jian, took over a Springfield rifle himself, and shouted loudly.

  Zheng Dongguo immediately conveyed the order, and a force of over 400 men, led by Sun Xinghua, launched an attack on Chen Jun's troops.
