Devil's Army

There were only more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops in Kuancheng County. They knew from internal intelligence that the devil's troops had entered Rehe Province.

In order to avoid an ambush, the military operations outside the county were stopped. Unexpectedly, they were still attacked by the devil's army.

The Japanese squadron leader arranged soldiers to block the siege of the devil troops while encircling and suppressing the Lubei guerrillas who had sneaked into the city. He also did not forget to ask Chengde for help.

The commander of the Third Regiment knew that there were many Japanese troops stationed in Pingquan City and Chengde County, not far from Kuancheng County. While arranging the commander of the first battalion to ambush on the outskirts of Kuancheng County, he also arranged for the second battalion to set up an ambush in Wangchanggou, Kuancheng County, in preparation to block the Japanese reinforcements from Chengde County.

The third battalion was assigned to build fortifications at a mountain pass in preparation for blocking Japanese reinforcements from Pingquan City.

As soon as the battle to attack Kuancheng County began, the commander of the first battalion ordered the entire battalion to press forward and launch a fierce attack on the east gate of Kuancheng County.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the guerrillas who had infiltrated the city, the commander of the Third Regiment arranged four machine guns for Captain Pei and his 28 men.

Captain Pei had already scouted the situation in Kuancheng County. While attacking the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall, he also arranged a troop to guard the corner of the street.

The squadron leader quickly sent a group of Japanese and puppet troops to reinforce, but they were blocked by a guerrilla force at the corner of East Street.

The guerrillas' two machine guns were placed on both sides of the street corner, and they kept firing alternately at the Japanese troops in front.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were knocked down at once. The Japanese squadron leader immediately arranged two mortars to bomb the guerrillas' two machine gun firing points.

The six Japanese mortar soldiers had not yet set up their guns when they came under intensive fire from the guerrillas in the corner house and all fell around the mortars.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the street were ambushed and began shooting at the windows of the houses.

The guerrilla leaders in the two rooms were suppressed by the fierce firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops and could not raise their heads. They could only throw grenades into the street based on their feeling from the gunfire.

The guerrillas followed the instructions of the instructors of the Third Regiment and paused for two seconds before throwing the grenades into the street.

The grenade exploding in mid-air increased the lethality of the grenade shrapnel, causing the Japanese and puppet troops on the streets to complain bitterly.

The guerrilla squad leader in the house didn't know how long he would have to hold off the Japanese reinforcements, and the windows of the house were blocked by Japanese fire.

The squad leader arranged a team member with better shooting skills to climb onto the roof, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Japanese commander.

After the team members climbed onto the roof, they did not find the Japanese commander, but saw two Japanese soldiers slowly approaching the mortar.

It turned out that the Japanese squadron leader was blocked by two machine guns at the corner of the guerrilla street. He had to call two other Japanese soldiers to take over the mortar and prepare to bombard the guerrilla machine gun firing point.

The guerrillas on the roof spotted the two Japanese soldiers approaching the mortar and fired two quick shots, killing them.

The fierce firepower of a battalion outside the city gate made the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall panic and unable to resist.

Captain Pei and his guerrillas in the city also fiercely fired at the Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate.

After eliminating the Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate, Captain Pei arranged for his team members to continue shooting fiercely at the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall, and two team members quickly opened the city gate.

The soldiers of the first company of the first battalion outside the city gate continued to fiercely suppress the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall, while the soldiers of the second and third companies quickly rushed into the city.

Fierce gunfire and the shouts of a battalion of soldiers were heard in Kuancheng County.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall resisted while retreating deep into Kuancheng County.

The soldiers from the first battalion were chasing closely behind.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall retreated to the streets and launched a fierce attack from behind on the guerrillas who were blocking their reinforcements.

The squad leader and his men were attacked from behind by the Japanese army and retreated into the houses on both sides.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall had no time to pursue them and hurriedly retreated through the small path they had given way to. After meeting up with their reinforcements, they continued to retreat towards the north gate of Kuancheng County.

The soldiers of the First Battalion and the members of the Lubei Guerrillas did not stop the pursuit and continued to attack the retreating Japanese and puppet troops.

The squadron leader led the remaining Japanese and puppet troops and withdrew from Kuancheng County while fighting.

Some puppet soldiers who were unwilling to retreat simply dropped their guns and raised their hands in surrender.

At this time, the second and third battalions of the third regiment had also started fighting in Wangchanggou and the mountain pass, blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese army from Chengde County and Pingquan City.

The Japanese squadron leader heard the dense gunfire in Wangchanggou and quietly approached, intending to attack the soldiers of the Second Battalion from behind.

Who knew that their little trick had been discovered by the Second Battalion Commander, who quietly arranged for the Third Company to ambush on both sides.
