Devil's Army

The Japanese army rushed out of the culvert and attacked the Hui Muslim detachment fiercely.

Although the Hui Muslim Detachment had captured Japanese weapons, they lacked training and found it difficult to organize an effective firepower network.

The Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns continued to suppress the firepower of the Hui Muslim Detachment, and the grenade throwers also continued to bombard the Hui Muslim Detachment's positions.

The Hui Muslim detachment began to show signs of defeat. However, the detachment leader immediately transferred members from the flank to strengthen the frontal blocking force. Their mission was to firmly block the Japanese in the culvert.

The Japanese army used the bodies of the fallen soldiers in the culvert to build a defense line and advanced step by step towards the position of the Hui Muslim Detachment.

The grenade throwers kept bombarding the Hui Muslim Detachment's machine gun fire points.

Just when the Hui Muslim Detachment was suppressed by the Japanese firepower and could not raise its head, the First Army's bombers came to support them.

The fierce bombing by the First Army's bombers blew the Japanese troops who rushed out of the culvert back into the culvert.

In order to avoid the bombing of the First Army's aircraft, the Japanese battalion commander no longer ordered his soldiers to attack the Hui Muslim Detachment, but instead hid in a culvert and shot at the Hui Muslim Detachment.

The Japanese army finally managed to wait for the Devil Force's planes to return and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Hui Muslim Detachment.

The time that the Japanese army waited for the First Army's planes to return also gave the First Battalion time to rush back to the culvert to set up defenses.

The Japanese army rushed out of the culvert and attacked the Hui Muslim Detachment, but were suddenly attacked from the left wing by the First Battalion.

The Japanese army was caught off guard and had to retreat back to the culvert once again.

The Japanese battalion commander knew that by passing through this culvert and crossing a railway bridge (currently occupied by the Sixth Brigade), he could reach Shide Railway Station.

The captain reorganized the remaining troops, with the first team responsible for suppressing the firepower of the devil troops on the left hillside, and the second team attacking the Hui Muslim detachment to break through the blockade of the devil troops and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

After the captain made the arrangements, the two Japanese troops continued to build a defense line using the bodies of the dead soldiers in the culvert. They used machine guns and grenade launchers to suppress the firepower of the first battalion. Another unit launched a fierce suicide attack on the Hui Muslim detachment.

The detachment leader led the Hui Muslim detachment to put up a tenacious resistance against the Japanese army. However, under the fierce and precise firepower of the Japanese army, gaps began to appear in the defense line.

At this time, the Japanese artillery observer in the culvert reported the coordinates of the Hui Muslim Detachment's position to their artillery position.

Immediately afterwards, one shell after another whizzed over the culvert and hit the position of the Hui Muslim Detachment.

With the support of artillery, the Japanese army finally rushed into the position of the Hui Muslim Detachment.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Hui Muslim detachment, a battalion commander asked the detachment commander to retreat.

The Japanese army tried their best to break through the defense line of the Hui Muslim Detachment, and another team of Japanese troops responsible for blocking the first battalion also took turns to break through the defense line of the Hui Muslim Detachment.

The captain broke through the interception of the First Battalion and the Hui Muslim Detachment and advanced with all his strength towards the Fuyang River Railway Bridge.

The Fuyang River Railway Bridge was built by the Japanese army last year to transport supplies.

The Fuyang River has a wide riverbed and a large river beach, with many naturally formed mounds, depressions and grass that is half a person's height.

The Second Regiment of the Sixth Brigade was lying in ambush in the grass on the hillock near the railway bridge.

The captain already knew that the Fuyang River Railway Bridge was in the hands of the devil troops, so the troops stopped advancing when they reached the railway bridge and sent two teams to search in both directions.

It was impossible to wait for the main Japanese force to enter the ambush circle, so the second regiment commander could only order the ambush troops to attack the two Japanese squads.

Suddenly, gunfire rang out in the grass on the hill, and grenades flew towards the Japanese army like snowflakes.

The captain secretly rejoiced that he was more careful, otherwise their troops would have fallen into the ambush of the devil's troops again.

The captain's artillery was blocked on the other side of the culvert, so he had no choice but to order the mortar and grenade launchers accompanying the team to bombard the grass on the hills on both sides of the path.

The hills and bushes were no match for the Japanese artillery bombardment, but the artillery of the Second Regiment, ambushed in the woods behind the hills, quickly launched a suppressive bombardment on the Japanese artillery.

After suppressing the Japanese artillery fire, the First and Second Battalions of the Second Regiment quickly wiped out the two squads of the Japanese vanguard and launched a counterattack against the main Japanese force.

The squadron leader who originally wanted to reinforce the vanguard had to switch from offense to defense.

Under the fierce attack of the soldiers from the two battalions of the Second Regiment, the squadron leader began to be unable to resist and gradually retreated.

The captain's remaining two mortars began to bombard the soldiers of the first and second battalions, trying to stop the attack of the devil's army. But just after the two mortars bombarded, two "chi chi" sounds of L-R4 sniper rifles came from the woods. Two Japanese artillerymen fell limply beside the mortars.

The two assistant gunners took over the gun, but before they could fire, two more "chi chi" sounds were heard from sniper rifles.

The two mortars became black and white, and no soldier dared to approach them again.

Without the obstruction of Japanese artillery fire, the soldiers from the first and second battalions pursued the Japanese army even more fiercely.

Seeing that there was no way to stop the attack of the devil troops, the captain ordered a retreat.

However, things that made the captain collapse happened one after another.
