Devil's Army

The commander of a regiment charged forward and led his soldiers to pursue the retreating Japanese army, and finally drove the Japanese army out of the position of the first battalion.

The few surviving soldiers on the 1st Battalion's position finally managed to join up with the main force of the 1st Regiment, but the 1st Battalion Commander was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is your battalion commander?" a regimental commander asked two soldiers who were supporting each other.

A soldier pointed to a pile of corpses on the left without saying anything.

The two guards of the regiment commander hurried over, pulled apart the bodies of the three Japanese soldiers lying on top, and finally saw the battalion commander with his eyes wide open.

He was stabbed once on each side of his chest and once on his abdomen, and his blood had already coagulated.

The regiment commander waved his hand and asked the guards to carry the body of the battalion commander away. He then sat on a rock nearby and smoked a cigarette.

After this great retreat, the Japanese army was unable to organize a large-scale offensive for a while.

After a while, the political commissar walked up to the regiment commander and told him:

"In this battle, we destroyed 52 Japanese tanks and annihilated more than 800 Japanese soldiers."

"What are the casualties among our troops?"

"The troops suffered heavy casualties, with only 82 soldiers left in the first battalion." The political commissar whispered sadly.

Their Fifth Brigade was the main force, with a battalion of more than 900 people. A wave of tanks from the Japanese wiped out one of their battalions.

The commander of the first regiment left the second battalion behind to guard the position, and the first battalion withdrew to the regiment headquarters with the main force.

The previous commander of the Japanese 110th Division, Sangmu Chongming, attacked Tangshan from Jiangjun Mountain last time and was defeated.

The current division commander, Mamoru Iinuma, had originally wanted to rely on his powerful tank unit to take down Tangshan in one fell swoop. It was a shame for the 110th Division, but who knew that they would still be defeated by the devil's unit.

The division commander, Mamoru Iinuma, scolded the Japanese battalion commander and dismissed him on the spot. He ordered the deputy battalion commander to take over the battalion commander's position and organize the next wave of attacks to capture Tangshan.

A regiment commander stood in the trench and looked at the Japanese troops in front of him. The scout came to report that the Japanese troops on the front line were mobilizing troops and would probably launch another large attack soon. He was asked to withdraw to the regiment headquarters immediately.

The regimental commander looked at the positions destroyed by Japanese artillery and tanks, gave instructions to the second battalion commander, and then withdrew to the regimental headquarters with his guards.

At around 1:00 p.m., the Japanese deputy battalion commander, who was ready, began to attack the second battalion's position.

The Japanese army bombarded the incomplete fortifications of the Second Battalion with continuous and fierce artillery fire.

The second battalion commander took his soldiers to hide under the broken anti-artillery hole, listening with their mouths wide open to the explosions of Japanese artillery shells.

More than half an hour later, the Japanese infantry, under the personal supervision of the deputy battalion commander, began to attack the position of the Second Battalion.

The Japanese army cautiously rushed to the front of the Second Battalion's position, but was met with not very fierce resistance from the Second Battalion.

The Japanese grenade throwers continued to bombard the positions of the Second Battalion, and the machine gunners continued to suppress the Second Battalion's not very fierce firepower.

The second battalion commander led the soldiers of the second battalion to throw a wave of grenades at the Japanese army, and then began to retreat in turns.

The Japanese army successfully occupied the position of the second battalion. The deputy commander of the Japanese army did not expect that he would occupy the position of the devil's army on the day he took office as the commander.

He ordered his troops to continue their advance and capture Tangshan.

On the way to Tangshan, the Japanese troops were constantly attacked by the Second Battalion, but not very fiercely.

The Japanese deputy battalion commander and his men successfully attacked the place where they had just been repelled by a regiment. From here they could already see Tangshan City in the distance.

Suddenly, the whistling sound of 150mm grenades that terrified them came from the Tangshan city wall.

A salvo from four 150mm howitzers with incredible destructive power wiped out all the Japanese troops in an area of ​​several hundred square meters.

The artillery of the 150th Brigade on the city wall fired wave after wave of mm grenades at the Japanese troops.

The Japanese deputy battalion commander, who suffered heavy casualties, immediately called for air force reinforcements.

Soon, Japanese bombers, escorted by fighter planes, roared towards the artillery positions of the 5th Brigade on the Tangshan city wall.

The 5th Brigade's artillery positions began to suffer casualties.

Seeing this, two Huaxia II fighter planes of the First Army, which were conducting guerrilla warfare in the surrounding airspace, flew over, drove away and attacked the Japanese bombers.

Seeing this, the escorting Japanese fighter squadron also flew over, wanting to fight with the two Hua Xia II fighters of the First Army.

The two Hua Xia II fighter planes of the First Army did not engage in a tangle with the Japanese fighter squadron. After shooting down and damaging two Japanese bombers, they quickly flew away from the sky over the Tangshan city wall.

When the Japanese bombers saw the First Army's pointed-nosed aircraft flying away from Tangshan, they turned back and prepared to bomb the artillery positions on the Tangshan city wall.

Who would have thought that the two Huaxia II fighter planes of the First Army that were driven away by the Japanese fighter squadron would suddenly turn around and rush over with their excellent speed and flexibility, and fiercely attack the Japanese bombers that were preparing to bomb.

The Japanese bombers had to stop bombing and continue to flee in all directions.

The 150mm howitzer of the th Brigade launched two more waves of attacks on the Japanese army under the cover of the st Army's aircraft, and then quickly moved their positions.

The Japanese infantry that was attacking Tangshan was continuously bombarded by the 150mm howitzers of the Devil Forces, suffering heavy casualties and being completely defeated.

At this time, the regiment commander led the remaining soldiers of the regiment to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army.
