Devil's Army

When the regiment commander's soldiers crossed the middle of the Gunaidian River, fierce gunfire rang out in the woods on the river bank.

The Japanese soldiers in the middle of the river were hit one after another, fell into the water of the Kunai River, and were carried away by the water. The river water was also dyed bright red.

But the terrain here is not as dangerous as the canyon path. The commander of the regiment kept urging the soldiers to speed up the wading speed, while the artillery kept bombarding the opposite grove and the machine guns kept suppressing the firepower points of the opposite grove.

Soldiers from the Second Regiment in the woods on the other side of the river were constantly being shot and killed by artillery fire, but more soldiers were hiding behind trees and piles of rocks to block the Japanese troops who were trying to cross the river.

The Golden Eagle No. 4 in the air would occasionally swoop over and fire at the Japanese artillery, seriously disrupting the firing of the Japanese artillery.

The Japanese infantry also fired fiercely at the Golden Eagle No. 4, trying to destroy this annoying small aircraft, but it had no effect.

The river water seriously hindered the speed of the Japanese army's charge. The Japanese army increased the intensity of the charge, but still failed to cross the Gunaidian River.

Moreover, the artillery of the devil troops on the other side of the river bombarded the Japanese troops crossing the river from time to time, which made it more difficult for them to cross the river.

After attacking for an entire afternoon, the Japanese army failed to break through the Gunaidian River.

At night, the desperate commander thought of a good plan and decided to divide the troops and take action tomorrow morning.

However, the devil troops on the opposite side did not let him rest well.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, the artillery of the Devil's troops on the other side of the river suddenly opened fire.

Under the guidance of the Golden Eagle drone, the Second Regiment's artillery fired not-too-dense mortar shells one after another at his command post in the grove on the river bank.

Under the protection of the guards, the brigade commander fled from the command center in a panic.

The Devil Troops' artillery fire was so accurate that he suspected there must be an artillery observation post of the Devil Troops nearby.

He ordered the soldiers to intensify the search and search the area around the headquarters thoroughly.

The soldiers struggled until dawn but found nothing, but they were so tortured that they yawned continuously.

The regiment commander, who had not had a good rest the previous night, heard that one of his battalions had searched all night but still failed to catch the artillery observer of the devil's troops, so he scolded the battalion commander severely.

His thinking was still stuck in the mode that the artillery observer gave the artillery instructions on the target, and then the artillery fired. The artillery of the devil's army was so accurate, there must be artillery observers guiding them.

But he had fought and scolded, and there was nothing he could do since he hadn't found the artillery observer of the devil's troops.

It was completely light, and the commander of the regiment thought that the devil troops must have sent people to monitor them, so when they moved to the Conedian River, the devil troops on the other side of the canyon also came to block them. In this way, there must be not many devil troops on the canyon high ground.

On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to continue to intensify the offensive and cross the Gunaidian River. On the other hand, he ordered the captain who had searched in vain last night to lead his brigade to march quickly along the small road, occupy the high ground in the canyon, and cover the large troops through the canyon path.

However, this was just the captain's wishful thinking.

The Eighth Brigade is a veteran reinforced brigade with more than 9800 soldiers. The Second Regiment alone has nearly 3000 soldiers.

The high ground in the canyon is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The commander of the second regiment only arranged one battalion on both sides of the canyon. The second battalion was deployed along the river bank of the Gunaidian River. The third battalion and the company directly under the regiment were the reserve forces, ready to reinforce at any time.

It was only the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment that was blocking the Japanese army in the woods on the banks of the Gunaidian River.

When the captain and his troops marched quickly to the canyon, it was quiet.

The captain was very happy and immediately ordered a troop to quickly pass through the canyon, and two troops occupied the high ground on both sides of the canyon.

Before the captain's troops passed through the canyon, the 150mm howitzers of the th Brigade, which was not threatened by Japanese aircraft, fiercely bombarded the Japanese troops in the canyon.

The other two troops of the battalion commander who attempted to occupy the heights on both sides of the canyon were also hit head-on by the First Battalion of the Eighth Brigade.

Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County is relatively close to the tribal arsenal, and the artillery of the Eighth Brigade did not hesitate to use shells. After bombing the Japanese infantry on the canyon path, they immediately bombarded the Japanese infantry who were attacking the high ground on both sides.

The captain's three troops were hit hard by the devil troops' 150mm howitzers in succession, suffering heavy casualties. They had to retreat and withdraw to the Gunaidian River to meet with the regiment commander.

The platoon commander was also speechless when he received the report from the battalion commander.

The attack on the shallows of the Gunaidian River was not going well either. However, the regiment commander relied on his large number of troops and generals and ordered the battalion commander to lead the remaining troops downstream to find a new place to cross the river.

He led a large army to continue to contain the main force of the devil army.

The Golden Eagle drone that had been following the captain's head quickly sent this new situation to the second regiment commander.

The Second Regiment Commander immediately ordered the Third Battalion, which was serving as the reserve, to march quickly to catch up with the Japanese captain on the side of the Gunaidian River and look for an opportunity to stop the Japanese army from crossing the river.
