Devil's Army

After receiving the telegram from Captain Lin, Leng Feng immediately sent a telegram to the commander of the 7th Brigade in Changtu County, asking him to send troops to launch a feint attack on Siping City to tie down the Japanese and puppet troops in Siping City.

At the same time, he called Captain Xu and asked him to arrange air force support for the troops in Yuelongling.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Xinjing soon caught up with them. Captain Lin arranged two special forces to hide on both sides of the high ground at the Yuelongling Pass. Captain Hu and some members of the Second Battalion stayed at the Yuelongling Pass on standby.

Soon, Captain Wang saw Captain Hu and his men waiting at the entrance of Yuelong Ridge.

The suspicious Captain Wang did not personally convey the order, but called a team leader to convey the order: requiring Captain Hu's guard team's second battalion to immediately cancel the reinforcement mission and return to Xinjing.

The team leader led his team members forward to convey the order. But before he could open his mouth, Captain Lin's special forces rushed out from both sides and seized their weapons.

The team leader's surprise when he saw Captain Hu quickly turned into astonishment. He asked in confusion:

"Brother Hu, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, brother. My second brother and I don't want to follow the devils and be dogs. We want to be upright Chinese again."

"With only seven or eight hundred of you, can you defeat the Japanese planes and artillery?"

"We can't defeat the enemy's planes and artillery, but even if we die lying down, it's better than living strong on our knees. Moreover, we have the strong backing of the First Anti-Japanese Army."

"Brother, you are behind. Here in the Northeast, the Air Force of our First Anti-Japanese Army has the final say." Captain Lin stepped forward and interrupted.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you. He is Captain Lin of the First Anti-Japanese Army."

Captain Wang soon discovered that something was wrong and called out to Captain Hu. However, Captain Hu asked Captain Wang to join the First Anti-Japanese Army and fight the devils together.

Captain Hu's reply shattered Captain Wang's last glimmer of hope that Captain Hu's Second Battalion would surrender.

The Japanese captain who led the team also lost his temper when he heard what the translator said, and ordered the infantry to immediately attack the second battalion of the escort team.

Captain Hu and his men quickly retreated into the Yuelongling Valley with the prisoners, with the Japanese army chasing them closely.

When this group of Japanese troops chased into the Yuelongling Gorge, grenades from the high ground on both sides of the gorge fell into the middle of the Japanese army like rain.

Immediately afterwards, grenades exploded one after another, and the Japanese soldiers' broken limbs and arms, along with grenade shrapnel, flew everywhere.

The Japanese troops who rushed into Yuelongling were attacked by a rain of grenades, and only a small number of them fled out of the Yuelongling Canyon in panic.

The enraged Japanese lieutenant ordered the artillery to fiercely bombard the heights on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

On the high ground to the left of Yuelong Ridge, the Eighth Squadron of the Special Operations Force, which retreated early to avoid the bombardment, suffered relatively few casualties, but the Second Battalion of the Guard on the high ground to the right of Yuelong Ridge suffered relatively heavy casualties.

After the bombardment, the Japanese infantry launched another attack, and the machine gunners kept firing at the heights on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

The dense barrage of bullets made the special forces and guards unable to raise their heads.

The snipers from the Special Forces' Eighth Squadron kept changing their positions and sniping the Japanese machine gunners.

Japanese machine gunners were constantly being killed, but new soldiers kept coming in and were then killed again.

Machine gunners became a high-risk type of soldier. A machine gunner could not survive for more than two minutes on the battlefield. However, even these short-lived machine gunners also supported the infantry to attack the high ground on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the high ground were greeted by intensive grenade bombardment.

A few lucky Japanese soldiers rushed to the special forces trench, and were stabbed in the chest by the bayonets of the special forces' rifles.

After the Japanese infantry was blown back, the special forces members and the machine gunners of the escort team braved the hail of machine gun bullets from the Japanese army and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops who were still charging.

The second wave of Japanese attack was successfully repelled by the special forces and the escort team.

Seeing that the infantry had retreated, the Japanese captain ordered the artillery to once again bombard the heights on both sides of Yuelong Ridge fiercely.

At this time, four Japanese bombers, escorted by three fighters, also flew over to participate in the bombing of Yuelongling Heights.

There were constant explosions on the high ground on both sides of Yuelong Ridge, with flying sand and rocks and billowing smoke.

It was the first time that the relatives of the escort team behind Yuelongling saw the war so close.

Hearing the continuous explosions and gunshots, their hearts were in their throats and they were very worried about their men.

What made Captain Lin and Captain Hu even more worried happened.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Siping City also rushed to Yuelongling and launched an attack from the west of Yuelongling after the aircraft bombing stopped.

The special forces and escort teams on the high ground on both sides of Yuelongling were attacked from both sides by the Japanese and puppet troops from Xinjing and Siping.
