Devil's Army

Before the commander of the Seventh Brigade gave his order, the phone at the front line rang again, and another piece of good news came:

A Japanese military train carrying supplies derailed and overturned at a corner, with supplies scattered all over the ground.

The Japanese soldiers transporting military supplies were also knocked unconscious.

Soldiers from the first and second companies took the opportunity to rush forward, annihilated them, and seized the supplies. Please ask the commander of the seventh brigade to arrange people to assist in the transportation of this batch of supplies.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade immediately called the commander of the First Regiment who were lying in ambush nearby and the commander of the direct regiment, Wang, and asked them to arrange for people to transport the supplies to the rear.

The railway patrol had not contacted the headquarters for a long time, which finally attracted the attention of the division commander Kunisaki Noboru. He arranged for an infantry squadron to patrol outside the city.

The company of soldiers who were keeping watch immediately sounded the alarm to the rear.

The soldiers of the regiment and the subordinate regiment who were transporting supplies immediately disappeared without a trace like the receding tide.

Soon, the Japanese infantry squadron patrolling out of the city discovered their company and started a fierce battle.

The Second Company, which was waiting at the corner of the railway, also outflanked and annihilated the Japanese infantry squadron from the flank.

The Japanese squadron leader, who was surrounded from two directions, was struggling to hold off the attack while asking the battalion commander for help.

Division Commander Kunisaki Tokugawa was surprised to learn that the Devil's troops had attacked their railway line and attacked a military train carrying supplies.

This military train was sent by Commander Meizu Michiro to support him in his counterattack against the devil troops and capture Tieling County. If it was robbed, he would be blamed.

He immediately arranged a large team to go out of the city to encircle and suppress the devil troops in an attempt to recapture the military train with supplies.

The 27st and rd Battalions of the th Regiment of the Japanese Army temporarily formed a battalion and quickly went out of the city to rescue.

A group of soldiers from the direct regiment who were lurking nearby quickly surrounded them from both wings and joined the fierce battle.

The Japanese battalion commander had already repelled the defenses of the first and second companies by this time and was preparing to advance towards the army column. He found the attack of the regiment directly under the first regiment and immediately reported to the head of the division:

"Our brigade is besieged by two regiments of the Devil's Army, 4000 men. We request reinforcements."

When the division commander Kunisaki heard that more than 4000 people were besieging one of his battalions, and the main force of the devil army had already come out in full force, he immediately left a few hundred guards to defend the city, and the rest of the troops also came out in full force to fight the main force of the devil army.

The Japanese reinforcements were a little cautious when they left the city, fearing that they would be attacked from behind. But as the battle became more intense, both sides were so angry that they rushed forward regardless of everything and fought with the main force of the devil's army.

Suddenly, there were continuous shouts, gunshots, and explosions on the railway line.

The eight Type 89 medium tanks that followed the battalion commander out of the city to fight acted as the vanguard of the attack, rushing quickly towards the regiment directly under the command of the first regiment, firing continuously as they rushed.

The defense line of the regiment directly under the 1st regiment was only a simple temporary defense line, and it was quickly torn open under the bombardment of the tanks. However, the commander of the 1st regiment and the commander Wang quickly mobilized the rocket soldiers in the rear to destroy the Japanese tanks that acted as the vanguard.

While the two sides were still fighting, the Japanese captain was surprised to find that he heard the rumbling sound of tank engines behind them.

Another powerful devil army blocked their retreat from the rear and attacked them.

Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru was horrified when he saw this. He had not expected that the Devil's Army had ambushed a powerful force from behind to block his retreat and attempt to encircle and annihilate his troops.

He ordered the artillery on the city wall to bombard the devilish troops that blocked the retreat, opening a passage for his troops.

Brigadier General Baron arranged five tanks to bombard the Japanese artillery positions on the city wall to suppress their artillery fire.

The artillery under Division Commander Kunisaki Tokugawa were all equipped with 75mm mountain cannons. Facing the tough and thick-skinned new tanks of the Devil's Army, they were helpless unless they hit the tracks directly.

Although the Japanese artillery was suffering from the fire of the devil's tanks, they did not retreat. They tried their best to reinforce their main force and blast a safe passage for them to retreat.

Under the fierce bombardment of the Japanese artillery, two tanks of the independent brigade were hit and their tracks were broken. However, after a brief stop of shelling, the two tanks acted as fixed turrets and continued to bombard the Japanese artillery in the city.

More than 3,000 Japanese troops were surrounded and attacked by more than 7,000 people from three regiments of the devil troops, but they still organized a defense line, attacking in the direction of the military train while resisting the devil troops' attacks from three sides.

As the five tanks of the Independent Brigade broke through the Japanese outer defense line, the Japanese troops on the southern defense line began to fall into chaos.

Captain Wu broke through the Japanese defense line in the south with his unstoppable fire knife and rapid advance speed.

The soldiers of the independent brigade also shouted and rushed into the Japanese defense line.

The Japanese battalion commander could not resist and began to organize his soldiers to break out to the west, but the soldiers of the direct regiment gathered the defense line and trapped the Japanese army firmly.

The Japanese captain tried his best and launched continuous attacks, finally tearing a hole in the flank of the encirclement of his direct regiment and escaping.
