Devil's Army

Since the 7th Brigade has been stationed in Tieling County and Kaiyuan City for many years, the security environment is good.

After the severe crackdown in the past period of time, all the Japanese and puppet army spies in Changtu County have been basically eliminated.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade left a regiment to maintain public order in these counties. (The public order in Tieling County was left to the police.)

The Third Regiment was transferred to Siping City to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Sandaolinzi.

The Japanese troops in Sandaolinzi were fully prepared to defend against the attack of the devil troops, and there was no movement for a long time. When scouts were sent to investigate, they found that Sandaolinzi had been surrounded by the devil troops.

The Japanese commander felt an ominous sign in his heart, but he was helpless. He could only send scouts to investigate whether there were any escape routes, and constantly urged the headquarters in Xinjing to send reinforcements.

In fact, when the First Army began to attack Siping City, the Japanese army in Xinjing sent an infantry battalion with more than 1000 puppet troops and heavy artillery to reinforce.

When the Japanese and puppet army reinforcements from Xinjing reached Yuelongling, they were intercepted by the regiment directly under the 7th Brigade.

The Japanese army in Xinjing dispatched heavy artillery and launched a fierce bombing on the heights on both sides of Yuelongling.

The soldiers of the 7th Brigade came under bombardment by Japanese heavy artillery and immediately called for air force reinforcements.

After a while, two fighter planes escorted four bombers and flew over from the direction of Fengtian.

When the Japanese artillery saw the Devil's pointed bombers flying over, they immediately fell silent.

The ones who suffered the most were the Japanese and puppet infantry, who were fighting with the devil troops on both sides of Yuelong Ridge. Suddenly, bombs fell from the sky.

The Japanese and puppet army infantry were blown to pieces and hid everywhere.

The Japanese commander wanted to wait for the Devil Force's planes to return before attacking.

Who knew that the bombers of the First Army blew away the infantry of the Japanese puppet army and continued to look for the Japanese artillery positions. However, the Japanese heavy artillery did not fire, so the bombers of the First Army continued to hover over Yuelongling.

At this time, the Japanese troops in Siping City repeatedly sent telegrams asking for help.

The Japanese troops in Xinjing had no choice but to use the puppet troops as cannon fodder and launch an attack on the heights on both sides of Yuelongling.

What excited the Japanese commander was that the planes of the Devil Force did not bomb the attacking puppet troops. However, the puppet troops were too weak to fight and were constantly suppressed by the Devil Force soldiers on the high ground on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

The Japanese commander glared at the puppet army commander fiercely and cursed:

"Coward!"

Then he ordered his soldiers to attack.

The Japanese troops attacking from behind quickly surpassed the puppet troops in front and continued to attack the high ground on both sides of Yuelongling.

At this time, the thing that the Japanese commander worried about happened.

The fighters and bombers of the Devil's Force quickly dived towards the attacking Japanese army, and continued to straf and drop bombs.

One Japanese soldier after another was repeatedly hit by the machine guns of fighter planes and blown away by the bombs of bombers.

This wave of attack by the Japanese and puppet troops was undoubtedly repelled by the soldiers of the Seventh Brigade. However, the planes of the First Army were still circling in the air, and the Japanese did not dare to send out heavy artillery support.

The Japanese and puppet army reinforcements in Xinjing launched three attacks on Yuelongling intermittently, but each time they failed.

At this time, in the entire Siping City, only Sandaolinzi's Japanese troops were struggling to hold on.

The Japanese commander looked at the densely packed corpses of imperial and puppet soldiers on the slopes of Yuelongling and had no choice but to order a temporary retreat.

He hoped that the Devil's Army's planes would no longer come to bomb tomorrow, or that their Empire's fighter planes would come to reinforce.

Gray Wolf heard the report from the Seventh Brigade: the Japanese reinforcements from Xinjing were stationed at the foot of Yuelong Ridge, so he called Captain Yin and said:

"The Japanese reinforcements in Xinjing are stationed below Yuelongling. Should your bomber pilots strengthen their night bombing training?"

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" Captain Yin replied.

"You ask the troops of the Seventh Brigade to cooperate with you and give you directions."

"Yes!"

Captain Yin was decisive in his actions. He immediately contacted the commander of the Seventh Brigade and asked his troops to identify bombing targets for their bombers.

The commander of the 7th Brigade contacted the direct regiment stationed in Yuelongling and asked the direct regiment to send troops to indicate the bombing targets for our bombers at 10 o'clock in the evening using the grenade fire as a signal.

The commander of the regiment asked the commander of the battalion stationed at Yuelongling to make some arrangements.

The battalion commander selected a platoon from the third company, which served as the reserve, to carry out this task.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the platoon leader led his soldiers down the mountain and secretly approached the Japanese military camp.

The biggest danger in carrying out this mission is not having enough time to retreat and being accidentally bombed by one's own bombers.

So the platoon leader approached the Japanese military camp while arranging a retreat.

The Japanese army had been on guard against a night attack by the First Army, so they were on high alert.

Every fifteen minutes a patrol team passed by the military camp.

The platoon leader led his soldiers to sneak into the outskirts of the Japanese military camp and lay in ambush during the patrol of the Japanese patrol team.
