Devil's Army

Judging from the fact that the Japanese army is still attacking Baizhai with all their might, they have not yet met up with the agents transporting the tin ore.

It was difficult for the carriage to carry heavy goods through the dense forest, and it took six or seven hours to travel about 80 kilometers.

According to this calculation, the convoy of Japanese agents transporting tin ore should have arrived in Pingbian County.

Chairman Long, on the one hand, arranged for the Fifth Brigade of the Second Route Army of the Yunnan Army to intensify the pursuit from Mengzi to Hekou County.

On the other hand, the 60th Division of the 184th Army of the Yunnan Army was deployed along the border between Pingbian County and Hekou County.

The vanguard of the Fifth Brigade led by Commander Qiu rushed to Pingbian County by truck. Then they split into two groups, one of which went from the Pingbian County border to Mengzi County to search.

The search progressed from Pingbian County towards Hekou County.

Soon, troops searching along Hekou County discovered the wheel tracks of a horse-drawn carriage.

The soldiers immediately stepped up their pursuit in the direction of Hekou County.

At this time, the Japanese spy chief who was transporting the tin ore had already noticed that the Chinese army was searching for them.

He ordered the convoy to hide and asked for help from the Japanese 18th Division.

At this time, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was still attacking Baizhai, which was about 40 kilometers away from the agents' convoy.

At this time, it was General Zhang's troops of the Second Route Army of the Yunnan Army that blocked the Japanese 55th Brigade in Baizhai.

He once created a record of blocking the Japanese army for 27 days at Yuwang Mountain and also had an immortal record in Taierzhuang.

This time, he will rely on the Baizhai Bridge and various canyon entrances to create another Yuwang Mountain record.

The Japanese army continued to bombard with fierce artillery, but they only crossed the Baizhai Bridge and were blocked in front of the canyon.

The commander of the 55th Brigade of the Japanese Army saw that it was not easy to pass through the Baizhai Gorge in a short time, and the agents transporting the tin ore were in danger.

He captured two local people as guides and took two squadrons of Japanese troops to bypass the defense line of the Second Route Army of the Yunnan Army through a small path to reinforce the special forces team.

At this time, Leng Feng also ordered the 3rd Independent Division of the New Fourth Army's Gui-Yunnan Front stationed in Kunming to arrange troops to come for reinforcement.

The commander of the Third Independent Division arranged for the Third Battalion of the Third Regiment, which was closest to Pingbian, to rush to provide reinforcements.

Yunnan's dense forests and crisscrossing paths helped the Japanese army.

Led by a guide, the vanguard of the Japanese army successfully bypassed the defense line of the Second Route Army of the Yunnan Army and rushed to Pingbian.

The search troops of the Second Route Army of the Yunnan Army finally found the convoy, and they engaged in a fierce battle with Japanese agents in the dense forest.

The gunshots attracted search troops from other places of the Yunnan Army's Second Route Army.

The Japanese agents were in a dilemma of being surrounded on all sides.

At the same time, the gunshots also pointed out the direction for the Japanese vanguard, and they quickly moved closer to the agents' convoy.

The Third Battalion of the New Fourth Army's Gui-Yunnan Front also heard the dense gunfire in Dawei Mountain in Pingbian County and quickly outflanked that area.

The Japanese vanguard troops who arrived earlier suddenly opened fire from behind at the soldiers of the Second Route Army of the Yunnan Army who were encircling them.

The fierce gunfire and grenade launcher shells tore a hole in the encirclement of the Yunnan Army's Second Route Army.

Japanese agents quickly drove the carriage team and broke through the gap.

The soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Yunnan Army desperately fired at the retreating Japanese special forces convoy, but were stubbornly blocked by the Japanese vanguard.

The battalion commander of the 38th Battalion of the th Brigade of the Yunnan Army, which was in charge of the pursuit, looked at the Japanese convoy that was getting farther and farther away, and became extremely anxious, so he had to report to his superiors.

On the one hand, Brigadier General Qiu sent more troops to pursue the Japanese vanguard, and on the other hand, he sent troops to bypass Pingbian County from the main road, preparing to block the Japanese horse convoy's retreat from behind. However, the detour was too far and it was not certain that the Japanese horse convoy could be blocked.

At this time, Captain Wang of the Third Battalion of the New Fourth Army's Gui-Yunnan Front, who had already arrived at Dawei Mountain, judged from the sound of Type 38 rifles that the Japanese convoy had broken through the Yunnan Army's encirclement and was retreating towards Vietnam. He quickened his pace and cut off the Japanese convoy's retreat route.

While blocking the Yunnan Army that was surrounding them, the Japanese special agents quickly retreated towards Vietnam.

Suddenly, there was fierce gunfire behind me.

The Third Battalion of the New Fourth Army's Gui-Yunnan Front successfully blocked the retreat of the Japanese spy convoy and was fiercely firing at the retreating Japanese agents.

The Japanese agents who were busy retreating were suddenly attacked and fought back hastily, but were still knocked down one after another.

The Japanese reinforcement vanguard was also surprised when they heard fierce gunfire on the retreat route, and quickly sent a squadron to reinforce.

As more and more soldiers from the Yunnan Army's Fifth Brigade arrived, the pressure on the Japanese vanguard troops responsible for blocking the enemy increased.

The Japanese squadron and special agents who came back to support launched an all-out attack on the Third Battalion of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army.

If they don't break through the defense line of the Third Battalion, they will be dead.
