Devil's Army

After repeated investigations, the battalion commander concluded that the Japanese headquarters was in the second barracks. There were obviously more guards at the gate than in the first barracks, the patrol density was also greater, and the antennas and telephone lines in the barracks were denser.

The battalion commander decided to attack the second military camp at night.

At around twelve o'clock in the evening, the battalion commander left the first company to block the Japanese troops in the first military camp, and the third company and the hunter's escort were responsible for eliminating the Japanese troops in the second military camp. He led the second company to attack the Japanese command post directly.

When the battalion commander and his men arrived near the second Japanese command post, they found that the Japanese guards there were rather lax.

Many sentries yawned and dozed off, and the patrols were not as frequent as during the day.

Faced with a situation suitable for a surprise attack, the battalion commander hesitated because he was afraid of a trap.

The hunters thought that the Japanese had been fighting for a whole day and it was now the second half of the night when people were most likely to feel sleepy, so it was normal for them to be lazy.

The battalion commander also agreed with the hunter's judgment. When the clock pointed to one o'clock, the battalion commander took the lead in opening fire, knocking down the Japanese sentry at the door, and starting the battle to sneak attack the Japanese headquarters.

The battalion commander and the hunters were moving according to plan as they easily charged into the second Japanese camp.

Japanese patrols outside the military camp rushed over and fought with members of the third company and the escort team.

There were not many Japanese soldiers in the barracks, so the battalion commander led the third company to attack the Japanese headquarters with dense antennas. However, the battalion commander always felt that the action was too smooth.

Before the battalion commander and his men could rush into the command center, a flare was fired into the sky, illuminating the camp inside and outside as if it were daytime.

The canvas covering the strategic materials in front and on both sides of the headquarters was removed, and machine guns and Japanese soldiers fired fiercely at the attacking battalion commander and his guards from behind the so-called fortifications made of supplies.

The soldiers and guards of the First Army who were suddenly attacked fell to the ground and died one after another.

The battalion commander shouted: "Retreat, retreat, the Japs are ambushing." But the fierce gunfire drowned out the battalion commander's shouting.

The soldiers around the battalion commander began to retreat, but the soldiers behind him still rushed forward.

The commander of the third company who was responsible for blocking the Japanese army also noticed something was wrong and ordered the soldiers of the third company to lie down and fire fiercely at the Japanese troops on both sides to cover the retreat of the escort members.

The battalion commander led the soldiers of the second company to desperately block the Japanese troops in the front, while ordering the hunter to retreat immediately with the guards.

The hunter didn't want to keep the battalion commander and his men, he wanted to stay to relieve the pressure on them.

The battalion commander said to him anxiously:

"This is an order. I don't have time to explain it to you. Retreat immediately!"

The hunter and the fat woman raised their guns and silenced the two heavy machine guns of the Japanese army that were shouting the loudest. Then they led the guards to quickly retreat outside the military camp.

At this time, a company outside the military camp was already fighting fiercely with the Japanese troops who had come to reinforce.

Soldiers from the second and third companies, who lacked shelter in the barracks, fell to the ground and died one after another under the dense fire of Japanese bullets. But they did not retreat because the guards were still retreating.

The battalion commander was hit by a machine gun bullet and fell next to a soldier.

The deputy battalion commander took over the battalion commander's baton and ordered the soldiers to throw grenades.

The dense explosion of grenade fragments effectively suppressed the firepower of the Japanese army, and the smoke produced by the grenades also protected the soldiers of the second and third companies.

The deputy battalion commander immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat.

As the soldiers retreated, they threw the remaining grenades in their hands at the Japanese troops around them.

The Japanese captain saw that the devil troops were about to retreat and quickly ordered the Japanese troops to chase them, but they were blocked by dense grenades thrown at them.

Before the smoke from the grenade explosion had dissipated, the Japanese army hurriedly chased after them from behind.

The Japanese soldiers chased and shot at the retreating soldiers of the Devil Force.

Such a retreat would definitely not work, as the casualties from being chased and attacked by the Japanese army would be too great.

The deputy battalion commander stayed behind with the soldiers of the second company and used the fortifications at the gate to block the Japanese troops chasing them from the barracks.

The guards and the soldiers of the third company retreated into the woods one after another. The deputy battalion commander turned around and ordered the soldiers to retreat in turns. At the same time, he asked the signalman to order the first company to start retreating.

As soon as the deputy battalion commander gave the order, two bullets from the Japanese army hit him in succession.

The deputy battalion commander fell in the fortifications at the entrance of the Japanese military camp.

There were less than a platoon of soldiers left in the Second Company, and under the leadership of the Second Platoon Leader, they continued to tenaciously resist the Japanese pursuit.

Under the tenacious resistance of the Second Company, the remaining soldiers and guards of the First and Third Companies successfully retreated into the grove. However, the remaining soldiers of the Second Company were surrounded by the Japanese troops both inside and outside the barracks.

The gunfire in the Japanese military camp gradually stopped.

The third company commander looked in the direction of the Japanese military camp and took off his hat sadly.

The other soldiers took off their hats without saying a word.

The hunter couldn't bear it, so he dragged the fat woman back to the Japanese army camp to take a look. But he was stopped by the third company commander, who shouted at them expressionlessly:

"Go back to the village!"
