Devil's Army

Just when the squad leader and less than ten remaining soldiers were struggling to block the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, the company commander, his company of soldiers and Captain Gao's guerrillas came to reinforce.

The sudden increase in firepower caught the Japanese and puppet troops off guard.

The captain's attack was repelled.

The captain did not stop to rest, but reorganized his troops to continue the attack because he heard the gunshots in the woods becoming less and less frequent.

The Japanese artillery, having recovered, also began to fiercely bombard a battalion of soldiers in the woods.

The two small mountain cannons captured by the first squad were blown up by the Japanese army one after another.

Japanese artillery began to bombard the devil troops in the woods indiscriminately.

When the battalion commander heard the intensive artillery fire from the Japanese army, he immediately asked the signalman to ask the regiment commander:

"When will the artillery arrive?"

But the Second Regiment Commander doubtfully told the First Battalion Commander:

"The artillery unit has already set out. I thought we had reached Qinglong County."

The second regiment commander contacted the artillery unit and found out that they had been ambushed by the fleeing Japanese troops from Kuancheng County when they passed through a wasteland outside Kuancheng County.

In order to protect the cannons, the soldiers of the artillery unit fought a desperate battle with the remnants of the Japanese army, suffering heavy casualties.

The garrison troops of the 3rd Regiment of the Jidong Independent Brigade in Kuancheng County have already sent out reinforcements and repelled the remnants of the Japanese army more than an hour ago and are continuing to march towards Qinglong County.

The battalion commander transferred three mortars in the battalion to reinforce the first company at the intersection and launched a more fierce attack on the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

The mortar soldiers of the first battalion flexibly changed their positions and continuously bombarded the Japanese artillery positions, which greatly reduced the pressure on the defenders at the intersection.

Soon, all the Japanese troops in the encirclement were wiped out by a battalion commander.

The commander of the first battalion led the second and third companies through the path to the opposite woods and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops at the intersection from the side.

The captain was attacked from both sides, suffered heavy casualties, and the troops were thrown into chaos.

At this time, the gunfire in the woods stopped, and the captain had to temporarily retreat a few miles.

The captain judged from the gunfire that the devil troops fighting with them would not exceed one battalion and lacked heavy firepower.

After a short rest, the captain divided the troops into two teams and launched an attack on the woods on both sides at the same time.

The battalion commander and the company commander relied on trees to tenaciously resist the Japanese attack.

The captain ordered the artillery to continue bombarding the soldiers of the battalion in the woods on both sides.

Soldiers from the first battalion on both sides of the woods were constantly hit by Japanese artillery shells and blown out of their bunkers, but the battalion commander did not order the soldiers to retreat.

Their current task is to delay this Japanese army unit, and wait for their artillery and reinforcements to arrive, and then wipe out this Japanese army unit outside the city.

The captain's fierce infantry and artillery coordinated attack forced the battalion commander to repel him. Seeing that the surrounded Japanese troops had no chance of survival and there was no need for him to reinforce them, the captain began to consider retreating.

The captain ordered the infantry to launch another fierce attack on the devil troops on both sides with the support of artillery, but they were still met with stubborn resistance from the battalion commander.

The captain then ordered the troops to retreat.

When a battalion commander saw that the fish in his mouth was about to slip away, he immediately ordered the mortar troops to bombard the Japanese vanguard, and the infantry began to attack his rear guard.

This move completely infuriated the captain. He ordered the retreating Japanese rear guard to become the front team and quickly attack the devil troops in the woods on both sides.

The soldiers in the front battalion were unable to dodge and several of them were killed. The soldiers behind them quickly retreated deep into the woods.

At this time, the enraged Japanese army did not retreat, but continued to rush into the woods to chase and kill the soldiers of the first battalion. However, they were stubbornly blocked by the soldiers of the first battalion.

The captain and the soldiers of the first battalion were still fighting each other outside the woods at the intersection when the artillery and escort troops of the fifth brigade finally arrived.

The company protecting the artillery quickly built fortifications on the road where the Japanese army was retreating to Qinglong County.

The artillery units quickly set up artillery positions and prepared to bomb the Japanese troops in front.

The captain soon heard the scouts report that their retreat was cut off by a demon army. He was shocked and quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat, trying to fight their way back to the city while the demon army was still unstable.

When the soldiers of the guard company saw that the Japanese army began to attack them, they quickly lay down in the incomplete fortifications to block the Japanese army.

When the battalion commander heard fierce gunfire from the other end of the path, he knew that their reinforcements had arrived, so he led a large force to fiercely attack the Japanese army from behind.

The captain was forced to fight on two fronts, but he focused on cutting off the guard company returning to the city.

Artillery fire continued to bombard the unfinished fortifications on the path.

At this time, the artillery positions of the 5th Brigade were set up, and the good days of the Japanese artillery showing off its power were over.
