Devil's Army

Chapter 1071 Stone Throwing Competition

The division commander Maeda personally supervised the battle and launched five waves of large-scale attacks in one day, but they were all repelled by the devil troops.

The depressed Division Commander Maeda sat in the command room. This time the firepower and manpower for the attack on Qinhuangdao were stronger and more numerous than eight years ago, but after fighting for a whole day, they failed to break through even a single gate of Qinhuangdao.

He needs to review the progress of today's battle and consider tomorrow's battle.

At this time, the chief of staff came in and asked the division commander Maeda to move the headquarters back because the devil troops were elusive and good at night attacks.

Division Commander Maeda did not refuse him. He asked his chief of staff to make arrangements. Surrounded by his guards, he retreated while thinking about tomorrow's battle.

The next morning, Division Commander Maeda ordered the artillery to bombard the north gate of Qinhuangdao fiercely.

After a while, the Japanese air force also flew over to provide reinforcements.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade were under great pressure from the fierce bombing of the Japanese army, but they did not dare to retreat, nor could they retreat.

Behind them, Brigade Commander Wang was personally directing the battle at the front line, and his wife was leading a medical team to rescue his soldiers at the front line.

Leng Feng, the supreme commander of the First Anti-Japanese Army, was also at the Qinhuangdao Command Headquarters personally monitoring the Qinhuangdao Defense War.

The smoke-filled Qinhuangdao North Gate and West Gate were finally repelled by the tenacious resistance of the Second Regiment soldiers, who finally repelled the attack of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army. The Japanese planes also returned.

The soldiers sat in the fortifications, eating lunch and enjoying their rare leisure time.

Inside the fortifications, four soldiers were gathered together, concentrating on throwing stones at a large piece of shrapnel in front of them, competing to see who could throw more accurately.

The stones hit the large shrapnel, making a crisp sound that made the soldiers shout for joy.

Even though the upcoming battles will be brutal and some of them will die, they live in the present and want to enjoy life.

Brigade Commander Wang and his wife went to the front line to visit the officers and soldiers. They happened to see this scene.

The soldiers quickly stood at attention and shouted to Wang Zhuangfei:

"Hello, Brigade Commander Wang!"

"Okay, everyone, go ahead, what are the rules?"

"Each person has ten small stones. If he hits the shrapnel in front of him, it counts as one. The person who hits the most shrapnel wins, and all the meat for our dinner tonight belongs to him."

"Okay, I'll join in too," Brigade Commander Wang said to the soldiers.

"I want to play too." Hu Jiani also stepped forward to join in the fun.

"Okay, let's play together. If I win, I won't take your meat. If I lose, I'll treat you to a meal," Wang Zhuangfei said to the five soldiers.

The guards cheered on the sidelines.

After all, Hu Jiani is a medical soldier, and her accuracy is relatively poor, so she is often booed by the guards during the competition.

After all, Wang Zhuangfei has been in the command center for many years, and his accuracy has become poor.

As a result of the competition, Hu Jiani and Wang Zhuangfei took the last and second places respectively.

Wang Zhuangfei was willing to accept the loss and asked the five soldiers:

"Which company are you from?"

"Brigade Commander, we are from the Second Company of the First Battalion."

"Okay, after the battle, I'll treat you to a meal."

"No, Brigadier, that's not necessary."

"Why not? Are you willing to accept the loss?"

"Yes, the brigade commander has a high salary. If we don't take advantage of him, who else should we take advantage of?" the captain of the guard said.

"You are not included in their dinner, why are you making such a fuss?"

"Brigade Commander, even if I don't have a share, it's okay to smell the fragrance." The captain of the guard said shamelessly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Division Commander Maeda once again ordered the artillery to bombard Qinhuangdao fiercely, and the infantry attacked under the artillery fire.

Japanese planes flew over again to provide support.

After two days of bloody fighting, the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment were already slightly short of manpower.

The Japanese army rushed to the north gate of Qinhuangdao. Soldiers from the first battalion rushed to the city wall under the Japanese artillery fire and air bombing, and desperately threw grenades down the wall.

The Japanese troops under the city wall were repelled, but the Japanese troops behind them did not retreat. They lay on the ground and desperately shot at the battalion of soldiers on the city wall.

At the critical moment, Captain Xu rushed to support with a fighter formation that had just repelled the Japanese fleet in Lushun.

As soon as the Japanese bombers saw the Devil Forces' pointed fighter planes, they immediately fled in all directions.

The Japanese fighter planes soon engaged in a melee with Captain Xu and his men.

After a fierce air battle, the Japanese army lost nearly a squadron of fighter planes and fled.

Captain Xu returned with the remaining fighter planes.

The Japanese infantry, with the support of their own artillery, continued to attack the north gate of Qinhuangdao.

Suddenly, the four 150mm howitzers of the th Brigade hidden deep in Qinhuangdao fiercely fired at the Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese artillery positions were subjected to suppressive bombardment by the Devil Force's 150mm howitzers. They fought back while quickly moving their positions.

After suppressing the Japanese artillery, the 150th Brigade's mm howitzers continued to bombard the Japanese troops that were attacking the city.

The Japanese infantry, exposed in the wilderness, had no way to hide from the artillery and suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Brigade's direct regiment also arrived at the north gate of Qinhuangdao.

The commander of a regiment immediately opened the city gate, and the soldiers of the first battalion of the regiment directly covered the four Type 20 tanks in Qinhuangdao City (early imitations, the artillery was still a 100mm machine gun, and had not been replaced with a new generation of mm short-barreled guns). They rushed out of the city and pursued the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army.
