Devil's Army

The Japanese follow-up troops who were waiting in front of the death zone to cross the death zone were bombed by the Devil Forces' planes and ran to the woods nearby.

Seeing this, the Japanese fighter planes rushed towards the bombers of the First Army. The bombers of the First Army immediately stopped bombing and flew towards Tianjin.

The artillery of the independent brigade hidden in the winding forest took advantage of the fact that the Japanese bombers were preoccupied with their own affairs and launched a fierce bombing on the Japanese follow-up troops.

The Japanese troops that were advancing deep into Panshan were also attacked fiercely by a battalion of a regiment of the Independent Brigade, and were pushed back step by step to the edge of the Panshan forest.

After the bombers of the Devil's Army flew away, the captain gathered his troops again and prepared to launch a new round of attack on Panshan Forest.

Seeing that the Panshan position had been under attack for a long time, Division Commander Shigeyasu Suzuki sent a telegram to urge the troops to take over.

The captain quickly ordered the troops that had not yet completed assembly to launch an attack on the Panshan position.

Teams of Japanese troops continued to advance deeper into the territory through the death zone where the artillery fire was not very dense, but they were often ambushed by the devil troops hiding in the dark, which was very frustrating.

The captain ordered his troops to encircle and annihilate the devil soldiers hiding in the dark, but the devil soldiers repeatedly escaped their pursuit by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain.

As night fell, the captain did not want to give up the position he had worked so hard to capture, so he ordered the troops to camp in relatively open areas in the forest in squadrons. The camps were close to each other and could support each other.

Night attacks are an army's strong point. When the troops are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, a sneak attack is a good choice.

When the Japanese army was camping in Panshanli, Brigade Commander Xie arranged scouts to investigate the camping conditions of the various Japanese troops.

Soon, the scouts reported the camping situation of various Japanese troops in Panshan to the headquarters of a regiment commander.

There were a total of six Japanese squadrons stationed in the Panshan Forest, arranged in a "品" shape. If one unit was attacked, the other two squadrons could immediately provide support.

A regiment commander formulated a strategy of encircling and attacking the Japanese army's reinforcements based on the distribution of the Japanese army's camps.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, a regiment commander arranged five groups of rocket soldiers to sneak towards the Japanese military camp in the middle under the cover of a platoon.

In order to bluff, the regiment commander equipped this platoon of soldiers with twelve machine guns.

The remaining soldiers of the first battalion formed a company and worked together with the first company of the second battalion to ambush the Japanese reinforcements on the left wing.

The 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 2nd Battalion were responsible for ambushing the Japanese reinforcements on the right wing.

The platoon of soldiers and rocket soldiers in the middle avoided the Japanese sentries and patrols and came to the vicinity of the barracks.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the rocket soldiers fired rockets at their respective targets.

A series of explosions woke up the sleeping Japanese soldiers, and the patrolling Japanese soldiers also surrounded them.

The soldiers in the middle opened fire with their machine guns and rifles, desperately shooting at the surrounding Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops in the center quickly informed the Japanese troops on both wings that they were attacked by a company of the Devil's Forces and requested to attack them from both wings.

The Japanese troops on both wings immediately set out to reinforce the Japanese troops in the middle.

The Japanese troops on the left wing were the first to enter the ambush circle of the first battalion and the first company of the second battalion, and fierce gunfire rang out. Grenade explosions also sounded one after another.

The Japanese army responded hastily and shot at the soldiers of the Devil's Army in the dark.

The Japanese machine gunner had been firing for less than a minute when he was immediately locked on by the rocket soldiers of the Devil Forces and then destroyed.

The Japanese troops on the right wing then entered the ambush circle of the 2nd and 3rd companies of the 2nd Battalion and encountered fierce shooting from the devil troops.

The captain heard fierce gunfire and explosions coming from the Panshan forest and knew that the devil troops had launched a night attack on their troops. He immediately ordered the soldiers to fire flares into the sky above Panshan.

The bright flares illuminated the mountain forest as if it were daytime.

Japanese troops from several other camps surrounded the fighting site, attempting to rescue the Japanese troops surrounded by the Devil's Army.

The Japanese troops on the left and right wings used the light of the flares to move as close to the Japanese camp in the middle as possible. The Japanese troops on the periphery also moved closer to the battle area.

The flare went out and the Japanese fired another one.

As more and more Japanese troops surrounded them, a regiment commander promptly ordered his troops to withdraw from the battle.

Although these two ambushes failed to completely wipe out the two Japanese reinforcement squadrons, they also destroyed most of their troops.

It is unknown how many flares the Japanese army fired, but most of the encircled Japanese troops arrived at the battlefield and joined forces with the Japanese troops that had just fought with the devil troops.

No one can guarantee whether the devil's army will launch a sneak attack on them in the future.

The captain decided to gather all the troops together and retreat out of Panshan Forest.

Many eyes of the independent brigade scouts were watching the retreating Japanese troops in the dark. The Japanese troops did not disperse and retreat, so the possibility of a surprise attack to eat them was very low.

The Japanese army retreated to a large military camp outside the Panshan forest.

The Japanese troops here are defending very tightly, so it is very difficult to launch a surprise attack on them.

The commander of the first regiment did not arrange any more sneak attacks on the Japanese army. The Japanese battalion commander was very annoyed that his troops were suddenly attacked by the devil's troops at night.

He decided to take revenge on the devil troops by any means necessary tomorrow!
