Devil's Army

Captain Wang of the direct battalion was extremely anxious when he saw that the Japanese troops were surrounding him from all sides, the soldiers around him kept falling down, and the mission had not been completed.

The Japanese soldiers in front of the artillery position were already on full alert. It was wishful thinking to rush over and blow up the Japanese artillery position.

If the Japanese artillery positions were not destroyed, his comrades in Hengshui City would fall one after another.

"Battalion Commander, let's retreat first and then look for an opportunity to blow up the Japanese artillery positions." the instructor suggested.

The instructor's suggestion was undoubtedly correct, but it was not easy to implement because Japanese troops were found all around their battalion.

If the direct battalion wants to withdraw, it will definitely withdraw to Hengshui, so the north must be the direction where the Japanese army will focus its defense.

Captain Wang decided to break out to the south and return to Hengshui. The only thing that worried him was that the Japanese artillery positions had not been destroyed.

Two rocket soldiers from the 40th Rifle Corps saw what Captain Wang was worried about and volunteered to stay.

Captain Wang firmly disagreed and said to them:

"Our entire battalion can't break through the enemy's position to destroy their artillery positions, but you two can do it?"

"There are advantages to having fewer people. At least we can be more flexible. We don't have to break through their positions, we can just infiltrate them."

"How many Japanese cannons can you two destroy? Destroying one or two Japanese cannons will not help the battle situation."

"It won't do any good if we blow up one or two of his guns, so we'll just destroy his entire battery. Blow up his shells."

"You want the shells to cause the entire artillery position to explode? Then how are you going to get back?"

The two rocket soldiers nodded resolutely, because they had never thought of coming back.

"Battalion Commander, this battle is the first real confrontation between our Jidong Independent Brigade and the Japanese. We can't be cowardly."

At this time, a machine gunner also stepped forward and wanted to go with the rocket soldiers to blow up the Japanese artillery position.

The machine guns can effectively cover the rocket soldiers approaching the Japanese artillery positions. Captain Wang nodded silently.

The three rocket soldiers quietly moved towards the Japanese artillery position. Captain Wang led a large force to attack the opposite direction of the Japanese artillery position.

The Japanese army was attracted to the opposite direction of the artillery position by Captain Wang and his men, but the guards outside the Japanese artillery position were still on high alert.

The three rocket soldiers sometimes jumped forward, sometimes lay motionless on the ground, and finally they penetrated through the gap in the Japanese defensive positions.

The Japanese defense was very tight, with many sentries.

The two sentinels still noticed something unusual about the rocket soldiers and walked towards them.

The machine gunner made a gesture to the two rocket soldiers to lie still, then he suddenly jumped up and knocked down the two sentries with two bursts of fire. Then he quickly ran to the periphery of the Japanese artillery position.

The sound of gunfire attracted more Japanese soldiers to gather around. The two rocket soldiers lay quietly in the grass, not daring to breathe.

The machine gunner lay behind a tree and fired a whirlwind of bullets at the Japanese soldiers rushing towards him.

Several Japanese soldiers running in the front were knocked down, and the Japanese soldiers behind them rushed towards the machine gunner as fast as if they were injected with chicken blood.

The machine gunner held up the machine gun in a Z shape and continued to run towards the periphery of the artillery position.

A group of Japanese soldiers followed closely behind, shooting and chasing.

The machine gunner was hit by a bullet in his right leg and staggered to the ground.

But he quickly got up and crouched behind a rock to fire at the Japanese troops in front of him. He wanted to continue to attract the attention of the Japanese troops and give the two rocket soldiers a chance to destroy the Japanese artillery positions.

The machine gunner ran out of ammunition and rolled to the left behind a tree to change a magazine. But before he could fire, two grenades exploded next to him.

The machine gunner's body remained in that position, frozen behind the tree.

The two rocket soldiers took advantage of the opportunity when the attention of the Japanese main force was drawn to the machine gunners and rolled towards the Japanese artillery position.

When the rocket soldiers were less than 200 meters away from the Japanese artillery position, they raised their heads and quietly observed the Japanese artillery position.

In such cold weather, the Japanese artillerymen were still wearing thin clothes and panting as they carried shells to bombard the soldiers of the Second Regiment on the southern wall of Hengshui.

The artillery shells were still a little far from the rocket soldiers, so they continued to move towards the Japanese artillery positions.

Two Japanese artillerymen noticed something unusual with the rocket soldiers and looked over here.

A rocket soldier suddenly stood up, took aim at a small pile of shells, and opened fire decisively.

The rocket successfully exploded in the pile of shells, but the Japanese shells did not detonate as expected.

Another rocket soldier quickly stuffed another rocket into the launcher and then fired another shot at the pile of shells.

The explosion of the rocket successfully caused the artillery shell to explode. The entire Japanese artillery position was filled with continuous explosions.

One after another, the 75mm mountain cannons were blown over and one after another Japanese artillerymen were blown away.

The huge explosion from the Japanese artillery position attracted the attention of the Japanese troops who were encircling the direct battalion. Many people stopped and looked in the direction of the artillery position.
