Devil's Army

The soldiers of the Second Battalion continued to advance and attack the Japanese troops who had not yet completed their fortifications.

At this time, Lieutenant Yamaguchi's heavily guarded Fushun East Gate was attacked by the devil's troops in the city.

A battalion outside the city took the opportunity to launch a fierce artillery attack on the Japanese troops on the city wall.

The infantry also changed from a feint attack to a main attack and launched a fierce attack on the east gate of Fushun.

The only three mortars of the Japanese army at the east gate of Fushun were destroyed by the Second Battalion that broke into the city.

The Japanese army, whose firepower was greatly reduced, kept asking for help from the Japanese army in Fengtian. However, at this time, the reinforcements of the Japanese army in Fengtian had been stubbornly blocked by the 3rd Regiment of the 8th Brigade at Laotudingzi Mountain.

Laotudingzi Mountain is located on the border between Liaoning and Jilin provinces. It has a towering terrain and is a strategic location that can be used for both attack and defense.

The surrounding terrain is complex, with numerous gullies and forests.

As soon as the Japanese reinforcements from Fengtian arrived here, they were met with stubborn resistance from a company of the Third Regiment.

The reinforcements from Fengtian heard that the gunfire at Laotudingzi Mountain was not very dense. They thought that only a small group of devil troops had infiltrated, and immediately launched a fierce bombing of Laotudingzi Mountain.

The soldiers of the first company of the third regiment on the mountain hid in scattered areas using natural gullies to avoid the fierce artillery fire from the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery bombardment did not cause much damage to them.

After the Japanese artillery bombardment ended, the infantry began to launch a strong attack on Laotudingzi Mountain.

When the Japanese artillery approached Laotudingzi Mountain, grenades flew out from the criss-crossing gullies and man-made fortifications, blowing them down the hillside.

The Japanese infantry took a short rest and continued their attack along the artillery points under the cover of artillery.

When the Japanese army arrived near Laotudingzi Mountain, the machine gunners lay on the ground and fired fiercely at the gullies and firepower points in the fortifications on Laotudingzi Mountain in an attempt to cover the infantry charge.

Suddenly, there was a whistling sound of mortar shells coming from Laotudingzi Mountain.

The positions of the Japanese machine gunners who came to provide support were bombarded by the artillery of the Third Regiment of the Devil Forces.

The Japanese army attacked for a long time, and the first company of the third regiment suffered heavy casualties, so the second company was replaced.

The position was always firmly in the hands of the Third Regiment.

At this time, the first battalion rushed into Fushun from the south gate and the east gate, and was clearing out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Fushun street by street.

The Japanese and puppet troops reinforcements from Fengtian wanted to attack Laotudingdingzi Mountain again to support the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Fushun City.

At this time, the roar of airplanes suddenly came from the sky. Six H-1 bombers, escorted by six Huaxia-2 ​​fighters, flew over the Laotudingzi Mountain and launched a fierce bombing on the Japanese reinforcements' artillery and infantry units that were bombing the Laotudingzi Mountain.

The Japanese reinforcements in Fengtian, which suffered heavy casualties, had to dodge the bombing of the First Army Air Force.

After the First Army Air Force bombing stopped, the troops of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Brigade immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese army.

The Japanese reinforcements in Fengtian were defeated.

At this time, it became a problem for them to protect themselves, not to mention the Japanese and puppet troops who came to reinforce Fushun.

The First Battalion of the Second Regiment finally wiped out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Fushunli and took over this coal capital famous for its coal production.

Gray Wolf did not urge the Eighth Brigade and the First Brigade to attack Fengtian at this time, but instead asked the Eighth Brigade to occupy Lao Tudingzi Mountain outside Fengtian and the First Brigade to occupy Datai Mountain outside Fengtian, ready to attack Fengtian at any time.

After returning, the mixed fighter-bomber squadron that bombed the Fengtian reinforcements did not return to the Xiaoguanzhuang airport, but came to the Tangshan temporary airport.

Because at this time Commander Hata Shunroku once again launched an air battle to seize air supremacy over central China.

More than 200 fighters and bombers of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force Air Corps fought fiercely with more than 100 Huaxia II fighters of the First Air Force's First Squadron and the Second Squadron in the airspace outside Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

The roar of planes, the sound of gunfire and explosions continued in the airspace outside Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

This time, Commander Hata Shunroku was determined to win the battle for air supremacy in central China.

The First Air Force's 1st and 2nd Air Forces were also determined to annihilate the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force's air force.

The two sides once again broke out in an unprecedented large-scale air battle outside the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport. However, the backward performance of the Japanese aircraft forced them to pay a greater price in casualties in exchange for shooting down the first army's Huaxia II fighter.

The two sides fought fiercely until after 11 o'clock, and more than half of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Force's aircraft had been lost.

In order to preserve the remaining air force, Commander Shunroku Hata had to order a retreat. However, in order to let the Japanese know that the sky of Central China was the sky of the First Anti-Japanese Army, Gray Wolf ordered Captain Yin to lead all fighters to attack with all their strength.

Even the six Huaxia II fighter planes that attacked the Fengtian reinforcements quickly joined the ranks of pursuing the Japanese fighter planes after refueling and ammunition.
