Devil's Army

The platoon leader took several soldiers to scout the situation in the Japanese military camp, while the other soldiers stayed where they were and waited for orders.

The platoon leader selected several places in the military camp that were worth bombing and asked the soldiers to ambush nearby.

Near ten o'clock, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky.

The Japanese soldiers in the barracks were all looking up to see what was going on.

At this time, the platoon leader, who was already close to the outskirts of the Japanese military camp, led his soldiers to throw grenades at the targets in the camp.

The fire from the grenade explosion pointed out the bombing target for the First Army bomber.

Just as the Japanese army was preparing to search for the platoon leader and his men, an army bomber that had arrived over the Japanese military camp had already lowered its altitude and began dropping bombs.

The Japanese military camp was soon engulfed in flames.

This time, Captain Yin brought three bomber squadrons over to train the pilots' night-time air-to-air bombing capabilities.

While one bomber squadron was still dropping bombs, another bomber squadron appeared on the scene.

The platoon leader took advantage of the chaos in the Japanese military camp and quickly led his soldiers to retreat.

Unexpectedly, the platoon leader and his rear guard soldiers encountered a Japanese patrol team returning to the barracks when they were crossing the path, and a battle ensued.

In order to get rid of the Japanese patrol team as soon as possible, the platoon leader led his platoon of soldiers to open fire at full force. The battle was resolved in less than ten minutes.

The platoon leader quickly retreated to Yuelongling with the wounded and sacrificed soldiers.

By the time the Japanese troops near the barracks arrived, the battle was over, with more than a dozen Japanese soldiers' bodies lying on the ground.

After the First Army's bomber squadron had bombed all the Japanese military camps, they returned for another round of bombing.

A bomb landed next to the Japanese headquarters, and the headquarters tent was also blown away.

The guards quickly protected the major and evacuated the command center.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Commander Meizu Michiro received a telegram from the major, informing him that the reinforcements had been bombed by the Devil Forces' planes and suffered heavy casualties. However, he disagreed with the major's suggestion to withdraw to Xinjing.

Now their troops are still holding on in Siping City. He asked the major to launch a strong attack tomorrow and capture Yuelongling before the Devil Forces' planes arrive.

The major decided to take an unconventional approach tomorrow and capture Yuelongling.

The next morning, before it was fully light, the major ordered his infantry to move along the woods on both sides of Yuelong Ridge towards the high ground on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

The artillery was also ready to bomb the heights on both sides of Yuelong Ridge at any time to support the infantry operations.

When the soldiers of the second and third companies on Yuelongling Heights discovered the Japanese army, the Japanese army was already very close to the Yuelongling position.

The battle started immediately, and the Japanese army threw grenades one after another into the fortifications on the Yuelongling Heights.

The soldiers of the 7th Brigade in the fortifications also continued to throw grenades at the nearby Japanese troops.

The two sides engaged in a fierce and brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The machine gunner of the First Army was hit and killed by a Japanese soldier. The soldiers next to him immediately threw themselves on the machine gun and fired at the Japanese troops who were surging up.

After a hard battle, the soldiers of the 7th Brigade finally repelled the Japanese army, but more than half of them suffered casualties.

Just as the Japanese artillery was preparing to bomb the heights on both sides of Yuelongling, the roar of airplanes was heard from the direction of Fengtian.

Immediately afterwards, bombs fell on the heads of the Japanese and puppet army infantry who were gathering to launch a new attack.

The Japanese artillery did not dare to fire, and the Japanese and puppet troops who were gathering were once again defeated and forced to hide everywhere.

The major could only order his troops to hide in the woods at the foot of Yuelongling Mountain to avoid the Devil Forces' planes.

At noon, the bombers of the First Army returned.

The major ordered the artillery to carry out heavy bombardment on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

The Japanese army, which had been holding back their fire for two days, directed all its fire at the high ground positions on both sides of Yuelong Ridge.

All the surface fortifications on the high ground positions on both sides of Yuelongling were destroyed, and the soldiers of the second and third companies stationed in the positions suffered heavy casualties.

The commander of the direct regiment discovered the situation of the high ground positions on both sides of Yuelongling, and immediately ordered the commander of the second battalion to arrange two companies to replace the second and third companies of the first battalion on the positions.

He also requested the commander of the Seventh Brigade to arrange for drones to scout the Japanese artillery positions.

The regiment commander asked about the casualties of the Second Company on the high ground to the left of Yuelongling, and told them that he had arranged for a drone to investigate the Japanese artillery positions and prepare to blow up the Japanese artillery positions.

The second deputy company commander told the regiment commander that more than half of their company had suffered casualties and now only had about a platoon of troops.

The regiment commander ordered the second company to withdraw and be replaced by the first company of the second battalion.

The second deputy company commander refused.

He believed that under such fierce artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, if a company from the Second Battalion came over, the casualties would only be even more severe.

They stayed behind to attract the Japanese artillery fire and waited for their air force comrades to destroy him.

The regiment commander called the third company, which also suffered more than half of its casualties, but also insisted on not withdrawing its position.
