Devil's Army

The next morning, a regimental commander ordered his soldiers to be on high alert and watch out for Japanese retaliation.

But this morning was unusually quiet. The Japanese did not bombard the Panshan position, nor did they send planes to carry out air strikes.

"Captain, were the Japanese scared by our attack last night and dared not attack anymore?" a battalion commander asked doubtfully.

"Impossible, how many devils did you kill last night?"

"There should be less than two squadrons."

"There is no less than a regiment of Japanese soldiers ahead of us, and you only wiped out less than two squadrons of Japanese soldiers last night. It's not a big deal at all."

"Why didn't the Japs launch an attack today?"

"Not sure. Ask the scouts to strengthen reconnaissance."

At around nine o'clock, the Japanese army suddenly launched a fierce bombing on the two heights at the corner, and then the infantry launched another attack.

"Strange, the Japanese infantry has not launched any attacks on the two heights at the corner in the past two days. They just suppressed the two heights with artillery fire to cover the passage of infantry and vehicles." The first feeling of the regiment commander was that the Japanese army was going to transport supplies in.

The soldiers of the independent brigade on the high ground put up a desperate resistance and repelled this wave of attack by the Japanese infantry.

After the Japanese infantry charge was repelled, the artillery launched a suppressive bombing on two high ground at the corner.

Then a Japanese convoy, heavily escorted by soldiers, quickly passed through the path under the high ground on both sides.

"Second Battalion Commander, send your battalion's scouts over there. Try to find out what supplies are in these Japanese trucks. I always feel something is wrong."

Although the regiment commander couldn't tell what was wrong, it was indeed suspicious that the Japanese army dispatched so many troops to transport a few trucks of supplies.

The second battalion commander immediately asked the Army Aviation soldiers to arrange for the Golden Eagle UAV to conduct close reconnaissance.

The Japanese convoy stopped behind a hill at a corner and began to unload the supplies on the vehicles.

The scouts of the second battalion found nothing unusual, just some ammunition and food. However, when the supplies were unloaded from the last vehicle, they caught the scouts' attention.

It was a batch of artillery shells, and there was a skull painted on the boxes of the shells.

The regiment commander was very nervous when he heard the report from the scouts. While reporting to Commander Tan, he asked the logistics department to help them urgently transport a batch of towels.

Gray Wolf was also very angry when he heard the report from the regiment commander. These devils would do anything to win. He immediately ordered the fourth squadron of the special forces to enter the Panshan position, targeting the batch of artillery shells with skulls painted on them.

Since it would take the special forces at least half a day to complete the mission, in order to prevent the Japanese from using poison gas bombs against the soldiers of the independent brigade in Panshan during this period, Gray Wolf arranged for two Golden Eagle III drones to fly over the Japanese camp.

If you find that Japanese artillery is preparing to launch poison gas bombs, destroy it immediately.

Of course, Gray Wolf would not take this step unless he had no other choice, because the explosion of the poison gas bomb in Panshan could destroy the Japanese army, but it would also harm the soldiers of the independent brigade nearby.

Fortunately, the weather was good. After the Japanese army brought the poison gas bombs, the wind kept blowing in the direction of the Japanese army's base. The captain did not dare to fire the poison gas bombs, otherwise his troops would suffer the backlash of the poison gas.

Since the poison gas bombs cannot be fired, the troops cannot sit idle.

The battalion commander ordered the infantry to continue through the death zone under the cover of the air force and advance into the depths of the Panshan position.

Fierce gunfire was heard again in the Panshan forest.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment relied on their familiar terrain to tenaciously resist the Japanese attack.

As more and more Japanese troops passed through the death zone and entered the Panshan Forest, the pressure on the Second Battalion increased, and it was forced to resist and retreat at every step.

The Second Battalion stopped retreating when it reached a narrow pass, where the Second Regiment Commander arranged for the Third Battalion to block the Japanese attack.

The Japanese troops that followed subsequently launched a fierce attack on the pass position of the Third Battalion.

The soldiers of the third battalion were in a dominant position and fired fiercely at the Japanese army to block their attack.

The Japanese artillery had no way of getting through the forest to the pass, and the only weapons supporting the infantry attack were three mortars and a few grenade launchers.

There was no way to suppress the firepower points of the Third Battalion, and instead they were counterattacked from time to time by the rocket troops of the Third Battalion.

Relying on the solid fortifications at the pass, the Third Battalion blocked wave after wave of attacks by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army failed to break through the pass fortifications until dark.

The captain ordered the troops to set up camp in front of the pass.

In order to prevent the devil's army from attacking at night, the captain gathered all the troops together for camping. Several patrol teams were arranged to patrol the periphery of the camp.

At this time, the Fourth Squadron of the Special Operations Team had already arrived at the Panshan position.

The squadron leader did not order his team members to sneak into the Japanese camp overnight.

Because the Japanese army was most alert at night, the sudden arrival of an unfamiliar force would definitely arouse their suspicion.

The squadron leader led the members of the Fourth Squadron to hide in the forest, thinking about how to sneak into the Japanese military camp tomorrow and seize the poison gas bombs.
