Devil's Army

This time, in order to avenge the Japanese army's massacre of the villagers of Zhangjiagou Village in Qinglong County, the commander of the Fifth Brigade arranged two 150mm howitzers and three 75mm mountain cannons.

Now the artillery was using a butcher knife to crack a nut. They aimed at the Japanese artillery positions on the path and launched a fierce bombardment.

After two consecutive waves of salvos, the Japanese artillery positions were completely destroyed.

Next, the artillery unit aimed its guns at the attacking Japanese infantry.

One after another, the devastating large-caliber grenades blew away the Japanese troops within a radius of several hundred meters.

The 75mm mountain artillery shells added fuel to the fire, blowing away the Japanese soldiers who had escaped from the 150mm howitzer.

Three consecutive waves of salvos from the 5th Brigade's artillery caused heavy casualties to the captain's troops, forcing them to start a breakout.

However, the road to withdraw to Qinglong County was cut off and the road to attack Nanzhang Village was blocked.

The captain could only retreat eastward to Suizhong County with the remaining soldiers.

The soldiers from the first battalion and Captain Gao followed behind and beat the fallen dog.

The captain and his men were fleeing in panic in front like stray dogs.

The first battalion commander and his men annihilated most of the Japanese and puppet troops that left the city, and began to surround Qinglong County, preparing to recapture it.

At this time, there were less than 200 Japanese and puppet troops left in Qinglong County.

The Japanese squadron leader in charge of the defense mission quickly reported their situation to his superiors and requested support.

Commander of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Michijiro, was also very troubled when he received the critical news of Qinglong County.

First, Kuancheng County fell, then Xinglong County, and now Qinglong County is in danger. Why are the devil troops so troublesome?

Helplessly, he could only ask the puppet Manchukuo government to send out puppet security forces from Suizhong County for rescue.

After the first battalion commander and Captain Gao surrounded Qinglong County, they began to bombard the city walls and gates of Qinglong County.

The two machine guns of the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall directly blew away the two 150mm howitzers of the th Brigade.

The Japanese soldiers who escaped the disaster did not dare to lie on the city wall to stop the devil troops, and they all hid under the city wall. However, they forced the puppet army to stand on the city wall to stop the devil troops' attack.

After another round of shelling, more than half of the puppet troops on the city wall were killed or wounded, and the remaining puppet troops ran into the city.

The artillery of the Fifth Brigade blasted open the city gate of Qinglong County, and the first battalion commander led Captain Gao's guerrillas into Qinglong County.

The Japanese troops under the city wall had no power to resist and were defeated step by step.

Local guerrillas from East Hebei who had heard the news rushed to the scene from all directions and followed the soldiers of the first battalion into Qinglong County.

The few Japanese and puppet troops left in Qinglong County suffered most of their casualties under the attack of the First Army and the Jidong local guerrillas, and only more than 20 people escaped to Suizhong County.

More than 20 Japanese soldiers from Qinglong County encountered more than 1000 puppet security forces of the puppet Manchukuo on their way to Suizhong County.

Wang, the commander of the puppet security army, had never fought against the First Anti-Japanese Army and had high expectations, so he thought that a battalion of devilish troops and local guerrillas were nothing to worry about.

He believed that the devil's troops had just taken over Qinglong County and had not yet established a firm foothold, so he asked more than 20 Japanese soldiers to lead them and help them retake Qinglong County.

The Japanese squadron leader was also infected by Captain Wang's ambition, and immediately led them back to prepare to retake Qinglong County.

The news that a regiment of puppet security forces was coming to attack Qinglong County was quickly captured by scouts from the Jidong local guerrillas, who quickly went into the city to report to Captain Gao.

Upon hearing the news, a battalion commander immediately ordered the artillery unit to set up positions at the east gate of Qinglong County, preparing to inflict heavy damage on this ignorant traitorous force.

More than 20 Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet security forces rushed to the east gate of Qinglong County.

The commander of a battalion deliberately showed the enemy weakness, leaving a small number of soldiers on the city wall to block the pseudo-security forces, while leaving heavy troops and a large number of machine guns at the city gate and on both sides of the city gate.

The puppet security forces began to bombard the east gate wall of Qinglong County with not very intensive artillery fire.

A battalion of soldiers on the east gate wall of Qinglong County continued to fight back with not very intensive firepower.

After the bombardment, a battalion of soldiers from the pseudo-security army began to attack, and easily blew down the east gate and rushed into Qinglong County.

At this moment, something they did not expect happened.

The artillery of the 5th Brigade fiercely bombarded the follow-up troops of the puppet security army.

The puppet security forces that entered the city were fiercely strafed by a battalion of machine guns, and fell down one after another like wheat being harvested.

The puppet security forces outside the city wall wanted to rush over to reinforce the puppet security forces that had already rushed into the city, but they were intercepted by the intensive artillery fire of the 5th Brigade.

The puppet security army's artillery began to bombard a battalion of soldiers inside the city wall, attempting to relieve the puppet security army from the siege.

The two 150mm howitzers of the th Brigade quickly bombarded the artillery positions of the puppet security forces that had been locked.
