Devil's Army

A large group of Japanese troops came out from both sides of the path in a daze and were immediately shot at by a group of soldiers lying in ambush nearby.

A large Japanese battalion, lacking heavy weapons support, fought back passively.

As more and more Japanese troops passed through the minefield, the pressure on the regiment increased and they had to continue retreating.

The captain of the battalion led his troops to continue advancing towards Kaiyuan City.

At this time, the battle of the 28th Brigade Commander to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 26th Regiment was coming to an end. He asked the commander of the st Regiment to stop the Japanese army for another day, and he was going to transfer the other two regiments to encircle and annihilate the Japanese th Regiment.

After several days of unsuccessful attacks on the Jinjiatun Pass, Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru left the 27st Battalion of the 26th Regiment to contain the opposing devilish forces, and he led the large force to bypass and meet up with the th Regiment.

After the 26th Regiment of the Japanese Army cleared the mines, the artillery of the logistics unit began to fiercely bombard the positions of the st Regiment.

The casualties of a regiment of soldiers rose sharply.

The commander of the first regiment hurriedly reported to the commander of the seventh brigade: their troops had suffered repeated attacks from two Japanese regiments, with heavy casualties, and requested to withdraw to Kaiyuan City to stop the Japanese army.

The commander of the 7th Brigade agreed and considered how to keep the enemy outside Kaiyuan City.

Division Commander Kunisaki Tou finally arrived outside the city walls of Kaiyuan.

An hour later, the prepared Japanese army began to bombard the Kaiyuan city wall.

In order to capture Kaihara City as quickly as possible, Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru called in the air force for support.

All the houses and buildings near the city wall of Kaiyuan were razed to the ground by the Japanese army.

After the bombardment, the Japanese infantry began to attack.

The first company of the first regiment quickly lay on the city wall full of broken bricks and tiles to block the Japanese army. However, the Japanese planes had not returned yet and continued to bombard the first company on the city wall.

More than half of their troops were killed in the battle to resist a wave of Japanese attacks.

Division Commander Kunisaki Tou vented all his anger over the past few days on the soldiers on the wall. He ordered the artillery to continue bombarding the fortifications on the wall, and the infantry to follow up with the attack.

Seeing that the Japanese army was about to attack the city wall of Kaiyuan, a regiment of mortar soldiers continued to bombard the Japanese troops outside the city wall despite the bombing of Japanese aircraft.

The outside of the city wall was suddenly filled with red smoke. The Japanese infantrymen who were charging were choked to the point of tears and snot running down their faces, and they couldn't even open their eyes, so they had to retreat.

It turned out that the commander of a regiment used the pepper bombs that were prepared for the attack on Changtu County to deal with the Japanese infantry outside the city wall.

The Japanese captain thought that the devil's troops had used poison gas bombs, so he did not dare to continue the attack and retreated in a hurry.

Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru was so angry that he wanted to use poison gas bombs to retaliate against the Devil Army, but the wind kept blowing in his direction.

In the evening, the commander of the Seventh Brigade held a meeting with several regiment commanders. Although the First Regiment had blocked the Japanese attack today, its own casualties were not small.

The troops of the direct regiment and the third regiment were already lurking outside Kaiyuan City, ready to launch an attack on the Japanese Seventh Division at any time. However, the Japanese Seventh Division had an advantage in strength at this time, and it was not the best time to counterattack.

If we still hold the city wall to resist the Japanese attack tomorrow, the Second Battalion of the First Regiment will also suffer heavy casualties. This is what the Seventh Brigade Commander does not want to see. But Kaiyuan City cannot be lost.

Tieling County is now developing rapidly, attracting many businessmen from all over the country to do business here, and has become a banner of the old military base.

Army Commander Leng Feng often called to inquire about the progress of the battle in Kaiyuan City, and he was determined not to let the war harm Tieling County.

The third regiment commander suggested requesting air force support from General Leng.

Now their air force is obviously much stronger than at the beginning of the war, and the number and frequency of aircraft that can be mobilized for support are also greater than at the beginning of the war.

At this time, the commander of a regiment who had been fighting with the Japanese army proposed a plan to use railway military trains to catch the Japanese off guard.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade only then remembered that a military train of Japanese ammunition that had been captured a few years ago had been modified and was currently traveling between the foot of the tribe mountain and Kaiyuan City, transporting ammunition and supplies. It could be used as a mobile artillery fort to attack the Japanese.

Just to prevent the Japanese troops from Harbin and Xinjing from attacking Kaiyuan City directly by train, the railway tracks were torn up and the road is currently blocked.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade asked the commander of the First Regiment:

"Where did you put those rails?"

"At that time, we were planning to connect the railway tracks and use military trains to attack Changtu County. So we didn't transport them to the arsenal, but stored them in the ammunition depot in Tieling County."

"You must immediately arrange for soldiers to connect the rails, and also arrange for troops to build fortifications on the left side of the rails to block the Japanese army."

"Yes!"

Then the commander of the Seventh Brigade ordered:

"Third Regiment Commander, your regiment is responsible for luring the enemy. Hit the enemy hard from the side to hurt him, then retreat to the left side of the railway."

"Yes!"

"Captain Wang, your direct regiment is lying in ambush in this area. After the Japanese are defeated by the military train, you will attack from the flank and kill all the Japanese without leaving a single piece of armor."

"Yes!"
