Devil's Army

Chapter 1042: Defending the Xiaoling River Position

The Japanese air force also saw the company commander who was fiercely firing at their troops, and immediately dived over. The two 12.7mm machine guns on the nose of the plane "da da da..." fired at the company commander.

The company commander was hit by several bullets, but his right finger was still on the trigger and he continued to shoot at the Japanese army.

After a while, the company commander Yu could not hold on any longer and fell on the heavy machine gun.

Seeing this, a soldier next to the company commander hurriedly helped the company commander lie down beside him, and he himself lay behind the heavy machine gun and continued to fire at the Japanese troops in front.

Seeing this, another Japanese fighter plane also rushed towards the heavy engine room and kept firing.

The soldier and the bullet supply soldier next to him were both hit by Japanese fighter planes and fell next to the heavy machine gun.

When the Japanese army saw that the heavy machine guns of the Devil Unit had stopped, they immediately launched an attack.

Seeing this, the two soldiers who were closer to the heavy machine gun in the fortifications ran behind the heavy machine gun without hesitation, took over the heavy machine gun, and continued to fire at the Japanese army.

The heavy machine gun was like a sickle, constantly reaping the lives of Japanese soldiers.

Japanese planes soon flew over again and fired at the soldiers behind the heavy machine guns.

The heavy machine gun became a deadly weapon, and wave after wave of soldiers from the First Army fell behind the heavy machine gun. However, there were still soldiers from the First Army who rushed forward without hesitation.

At this time, a bomb from a Japanese bomber landed next to the heavy machine gun, and the heavy machine gun and the two soldiers behind him were blown away.

As soon as the heavy machine guns of the First Army stopped, the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground continued to charge towards the positions on the south bank of Xiaoling River.

Soldiers of the 14th Brigade continued to shoot at the charging Japanese troops despite the bombing of Japanese planes, but the Japanese planes destroyed several of their machine gun positions, and their resistance began to seem inadequate.

At this time, the artillery of the 14th Brigade, hidden in the woods on the north bank of Xiaoling River, suddenly opened fire.

The shells from the 75mm mountain artillery bombarded the charging Japanese army into disarray.

Japanese planes then flew over Xiaoling River and bombed the woods on the north bank.

The brigade commander was heartbroken when he saw his soldiers falling one after another in the bombing and strafing of Japanese planes, and he quickly asked Leng Feng for air support.

But Leng Feng told him that the First Army's aircraft were bombing the Japanese warships that were attacking Jinzhou by water and could not get away for the time being.

The brigade commander had no choice but to order the follow-up troops to rush to the position on the south bank of Xiaoling River with enough machine guns. However, the Japanese army, with the support of aircraft, had already crossed the corner and lay on the ground to fire at the soldiers of the 14th Brigade.

In order to break through the Xiaolinghe railway bridge as quickly as possible, one wave of Japanese planes returned and another wave flew over.

The soldiers of the 14th Brigade were constantly bombed and strafed by Japanese planes, and casualties remained high.

As the Japanese positions continued to advance, Japanese mortar troops began to follow the infantry and launched a fierce bombardment on the positions on the south bank of Xiaoling River.

The soldiers of the 14th Brigade were under increasing pressure. In order to reduce casualties, the brigade commander decided to abandon the position on the south bank of Xiaoling River and retreat to the north bank.

The battalion commander made a trick during the retreat and buried some explosives under the position.

The army's planes were still carrying out air raids and the Japanese mortars were still bombing.

The soldiers of the 14th Brigade began to retreat to the north bank of Xiaoling River in turns.

Japanese troops successively occupied positions on the south bank of Xiaoling River.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard from the south bank position.

Soldiers from the 14th Brigade detonated explosives buried under the southern bank positions, and the southern bank positions were enveloped in waves of gunpowder smoke.

After the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who had rushed to the south bank positions.

Most of the soldiers of the 14th Brigade who retreated from the south bank positions retreated into the woods on the north bank positions.

The Japanese army was exhausted after a day of attack and confronted the soldiers of the 14th Brigade across the Xiaoling River.

In the middle of the night, two 14mm howitzers of the 150th Brigade in the woods took advantage of the fact that no Japanese bombers came over and launched a fierce bombing on the positions on the south bank of the Xiaoling River.

The Japanese army had only been bombarded by the Devil Force's 75mm mountain artillery all day today, but was suddenly bombarded by 150mm large-caliber howitzers and had no way to avoid it.

The Japanese troops on the south bank of Xiaoling River were almost wiped out.

Subsequently, the 14mm artillery of the 150th Brigade, under the guidance of the Golden Eagle, launched continuous bombings on the Japanese military camps behind the positions on the south bank of the Xiaoling River.

The Japanese army, which suffered heavy casualties, ran to the corner in a panic to avoid the bombing of the devil troops' 150mm howitzers.

The regiment commander used a golden eagle to patrol the positions on the south bank of Xiaoling River and the Japanese military camp several times. He found that the Japanese soldiers had all hidden in the corner to avoid the bombardment. He waved to the side.

I saw a team of commandos holding submachine guns and a team of engineers from the 14th Brigade holding explosive packs quietly crossing the Xiaoling River railway bridge.

Then they quietly buried the explosive packs on the route the Japanese army had to take to cross the Xiaolinghe railway bridge.

After doing all this, the engineers sprinkled soil on the explosive packs and fuses to camouflage them, and then quietly retreated to the north bank of Xiaoling River under the cover of the commandos.
