Devil's Army

The commander of the corps was still in the command center when he suddenly heard loud gunfire outside.

The guard rushed in and reported to the captain:

"Captain, there is a demonic army coming from our west, and they suddenly attacked us from the west."

"how many people?"

"No less than one regiment. And there is also a regiment of devil troops in Kaiyuan City attacking us from the front."

Two regiments, five to six thousand people. With the fighting power of the devil troops, it would be difficult for them to resist with just one regiment.

The commander of the regiment ordered a large brigade to cover the rear and resist the attack of the devil troops. He immediately withdrew the large army to the north bank of the Kou River.

The commander of the regiment retreated to the south bank of the Kou River and was dumbfounded. The guard troops he left on the wooden bridge were gone.

At that time, the second company of the first company of the first regiment, following the order of the regiment commander, immediately launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the wooden bridge, and the wooden bridge was also blown up.

The first and second companies of the first regiment were blocking the Japanese army from crossing the river inside the fortifications built by the Japanese army.

The Third Regiment, a direct regiment of the Seventh Brigade, defeated the first battalion of the Japanese army and continued to pursue the main force of the 28th Regiment.

The four 150mm howitzers transferred from Tieling County by the Seventh Brigade continuously bombarded the Japanese First Battalion responsible for the rear.

A large battalion of the Japanese army was defeated under the fierce bombardment of the First Army's 150mm howitzers, suffering heavy casualties.

The two main regiments of the 28th Brigade divided into two groups to pursue the Japanese 28th Regiment, which fled in panic like a lost dog.

The artillery and baggage troops, which were unable to move easily, were soon surrounded by the troops of the 7th Brigade.

After a fierce battle, the Seventh Brigade's direct regiment and the Third Regiment successively annihilated the guard troops of the Japanese army's baggage and artillery units, and seized a large amount of Japanese army's baggage and artillery.

The regiment commander and part of the troops finally took a detour to escape the pursuit of the Seventh Brigade's Direct Regiment and the Third Regiment, crossed the Kou River, and returned to Weiyuanbao Town.

The threat from the Japanese 7th Division in the direction of Xifeng County was temporarily resolved, and the 7th Brigade Commander turned his attention back to the attack from Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru in the direction of Changtu County.

At that time, the artillery and supplies of Division Commander Kunisaki Toshi were ambushed by the first battalion of the first regiment in Bamiancheng, causing heavy losses.

Two days later, the baggage of Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru arrived and they continued their march towards Kaiyuan City.

The 27th Regiment of the th Division of the Japanese Army was attacked by a small reconnaissance unit of the Devil Force on its way to Kaiyuan City.

The 27st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army quickly defeated the reconnaissance unit of the Devil Force and continued to march towards Kaiyuan City. However, the Japanese army was blocked when it arrived at Jinjiatun.

Jinjiatun belongs to Jinjia Town, Changtu County, which had been recaptured by the 7th Brigade at that time.

When the main force of the Japanese Seventh Division arrived at Jinjia Town, the 1st Regiment of the 7th Brigade voluntarily abandoned Jinjia Town and retreated to the Jinjiatun Pass.

Jinjiatun Pass is a narrow pass that can only accommodate one horse-drawn carriage, with loess cliffs 5 to 10 meters high on both sides.

Although the 26th and 27th Regiments of the th Division of the Japanese Army had more troops than the first regiment, the roads here were narrow and the troops could not be deployed at all. The Japanese army could only send squadrons to the front line one by one through the Jinjiatun Pass like adding fuel.

A regiment of heavy machine guns deployed on both sides of the loess cliff continued to harvest the lives of Japanese soldiers below the pass.

The First Battalion of the 27th Regiment of the Japanese Army charged several times but failed to break through the Jinjiatun Pass.

In the afternoon, the Japanese Air Force bombed the heavy machine gun positions of the Devil Forces on the loess cliffs of Jinjiatun.

The two heavy machine gun positions on the loess cliff of the Devil's troops were destroyed by Japanese planes.

The 27st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army immediately passed through the Jinjiatun Pass path.

However, when a large group of Japanese troops entered the Jinjiatun Pass path, they were severely bombarded by the artillery of the First Army hidden in the woods on the loess cliffs.

The path at Jinjiatun Pass was covered in flying dirt and corpses were strewn across the ground.

The Japanese planes that had not yet returned immediately bombed the artillery positions of the devil troops in the woods.

However, the dense woods blocked the Japanese pilots' vision, and the bombing did not achieve the desired effect.

When the 27st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army continued to cross the Jinjiatun Pass, it was bombarded by the artillery of the Devil Forces and had to withdraw from the pass to rest.

There was no way to pass through the Jinjiatun Pass during the day, so the Japanese First Battalion wanted to sneak through at night. As long as they passed through the Jinjiatun Pass, they could quickly reach the north gate of Kaiyuan City. The baggage troops could take a detour to Kaiyuan City.

To the captain's disappointment, their troops were strafed by heavy machine guns on the loess cliff as soon as they reached the Jinjiatun Pass.

After their plane returned, the Devil's troops rebuilt the heavy machine gun position on the loess cliff. Two heavy machine guns were high above, blocking the pass, and they had no way to rush through.

The path was already filled with the bodies of Japanese soldiers.
