Devil's Army

With the timely reinforcement of the first company, the third company commander repelled the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Afterwards, the third company stayed behind to continue consolidating the fortifications, while the first company commander led his soldiers to attack the Japanese and puppet troops on both wings from both sides.

The guards of the puppet Manchukuo Royal Consolation Group were blocked by the company that rushed over. They immediately mobilized artillery to bombard the company that rushed over fiercely.

The second company arrived later and prepared to outflank the Japanese and puppet army's artillery from the flank.

The Japanese squadron leader realized the intention of the devil troops and quickly withdrew his troops and retreated to Huachangyu.

The first company then launched an attack on Huachangyu, but the Japanese and puppet troops were in a dominant position and put up a stubborn resistance, so the first company's attack was blocked.

The third company commander looked at the retreating first company commander and suddenly asked:

"After fighting for so long, have you seen anyone from the Royal Consolation Group?"

The captain thought for a moment and replied:

"I only saw the Japanese army and the puppet army with relatively strong combat effectiveness, but I didn't see anyone from the Royal Consolation Group."

"Do you have a radio with you? Contact the battalion commander immediately and report the intelligence back to him."

"I didn't bring a radio, but the Second Company should have one."

The second company commander who rushed over after hearing the news immediately asked the signalman to report the situation to the first battalion commander.

When the first battalion commander heard the information sent back by the second company commander, he was also worried that the Japanese and puppet troops had set up a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he quickly arranged for scouts to go to the other two paths for reconnaissance.

After the attack of the first company commander was blocked, he retreated back to the small hill to consolidate his fortifications and did not continue to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in Huachangyu.

The scout who was on his way to Kuancheng County and Suizhong County met two civilians on the road and asked them about the situation. However, both civilians said that they had not seen the Japanese passing through this road.

It is possible that the common people and the members of the Royal Delegation of the Puppet Manchukuo were separated in time.

The scouts continued to scout along the trail, but found no signs of a large group of people passing by.

The Royal Consolation Group was a rare sight. To be on the safe side, the scouts asked the local residents nearby, but the results were the same: they had not seen any.

The scout had no choice but to go back and report.

Soon, the scouts responsible for investigating the area from Pingquan City to Suizhong County came back to report that no traces of the royal delegation were found there.

Since no trace of the royal delegation was found on the road sections from Kuancheng County to Suizhong County and from Pingquan City to Suizhong County, they must be behind the escort team. However, Huachangyu is in a difficult position and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Without artillery support, the troops would suffer heavy casualties.

The second company commander sent a telegram to the first battalion commander requesting artillery support.

While waiting for artillery reinforcements, a scout felt something was wrong in Huachangyu ahead.

With the approval of the company commander, he quietly climbed up to Huachangyu Heights for reconnaissance.

The scouts climbed up to the Huachangyu Heights and discovered that the Japanese and puppet troops there had retreated at some point.

When the company commander heard the scout's report, he realized he had been tricked.

The Japanese army was defending the Huachangyu defense line well, but suddenly retreated. There is only one answer, that is, the royal consolation group of the puppet Manchukuo had successfully passed their blockade and arrived in Suizhong County.

The captain of the European zone then arranged for his team members to go to Suizhong County to contact the underground members.

The underground liaison officer of Suizhou County replied to the battalion commander: At noon, the royal delegation of the puppet Manchukuo had entered Suizhou County under the protection of hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, more than 600 Japanese and puppet troops also entered Suizhong County.

Suizhong County originally had only more than 1000 puppet troops with weak combat effectiveness, and now it has been reinforced by more than 800 Japanese troops and royal guards with relatively strong combat effectiveness. It is not easy to capture Suizhong County.

In order to reduce casualties, the battalion commander decided to wait until the Royal Delegation of the Puppet Manchukuo returned to Chifeng City before attacking them.

A battalion commander arranged soldiers to set up an ambush at the west gate of Suizhong County when the royal delegation entered.

The captain of the European zone arranged his team members to keep an eye on the movements of the royal visiting group in the city.

The puppet Manchukuo Royal Consolation Group seemed to be at odds with the battalion commander, and the two men showed no signs of leaving, which put the soldiers of the battalion ambushed outside the west gate in a passive position.

If they gave up the ambush, all their hard work over the past two days would be in vain.

After careful consideration, the captain of the first company decided to take turns with the second company in setting up an ambush, while the third company, which suffered heavy casualties in this battle, stayed in the camp to rest.

Five days later, on the morning of the day, the team members who were keeping watch on the rooftop of a building opposite the military camp suddenly discovered unusual movements in the camp.

Through the telescope, they saw that the Royal Guard was gathering.

Soon, members of the Royal Observation Corps were seen walking towards the west gate of Suizhong County along with the escort team.

One team member quickly ran back to the underground contact station and sent a message to the battalion commander, while another team member followed closely behind.
