Devil's Army

Before the battle on the cruiser was over, the Japanese troops in the military camp had already rushed over and engaged in a fierce battle with the Qiongya guerrillas at the gate.

Later, teams from the Hainan Island base in Ya County and other places also rushed over.

The artillery accompanying the team launched a fierce bombardment on the Qiongya guerrillas and the first company of the independent battalion at the entrance of the Sanya port terminal.

Since its establishment, the Qiongya Guerrillas had never experienced such brutal positional warfare, resulting in heavy casualties.

The 50st Company was the company with the heaviest casualties in the series of battles on Hainan Island. Nearly people in his platoon were killed.

Some soldiers in this platoon fought with him from Changsha to Qinzhou Bay, Kunlun Pass, and then to Kunming. They survived so many battles, big and small, but this time they fell on the land of Sanya, Hainan Island.

The captain of the first company wanted revenge the most. Looking at the fierce Japanese artillery fire that was bombarding them, he asked the captain of the Qiongya guerrillas:

"Can you resist the Japanese attack for half an hour?"

"Okay, although victory is uncertain, I am determined to die."

"What a friendly force!" The company commander took one last look at the leader of the Qiongya guerrillas, then led the company to quickly disappear on the right wing of the port dock.

The Japanese army's fierce artillery fire destroyed the simple fortifications at the entrance of the port wharf. However, when their infantry launched another attack on the port wharf, they were fiercely fired upon by the Qiongya guerrillas who gathered from various places.

This caused the Japanese commander a lot of headaches.

The Qiongya guerrillas were like indestructible cockroaches. When they could no longer resist, they would launch a fierce counterattack against their infantry.

When this wave of Japanese offensive was repelled by the Qiongya guerrillas, his artillery began to bombard the Qiongya guerrillas' positions fiercely.

At this time, the first company launched a fierce and rapid attack on the artillery positions of the Japanese army's base on Hainan Island.

The Japanese commander was shocked when he heard the fierce gunfire coming from the artillery position and quickly sent troops to support.

At this time, the battle on the destroyer also stopped, and the battle at the Sanya port dock came to an end.

Captain Zhang arranged for Golden Eagle No. 4 to reinforce the first company.

The Golden Eagle No. 4 flew over the Japanese artillery defense team and fiercely strafed the Japanese positions that were attacking in the direction of the first company.

With the strong support of Jingdiao in the air, the first company broke through the defense line of the Japanese artillery defense force and began to massacre the Japanese artillery.

The artillery fire of the Qiongya guerrillas that was bombarding the entrance of Sanya Port Pier suddenly stopped.

At this time, the gunfire in the Sanya Port Terminal had become sparse.

On the one hand, the Japanese commander ordered his soldiers to intensify the attack on the Qiongya guerrillas, and on the other hand, he quickly returned to reinforce and intensify the attack on the first company.

When the captain of the Qiongya guerrillas saw that the Japanese artillery fire had stopped, his confidence increased, and he led his team members to fight more fiercely against the attacking Japanese infantry.

At this time, they no longer had the few shotguns they had before. Captain Zhang had equipped them with a batch of machine guns and Type 38 rifles.

On this side, the Golden Eagle No. 4 attacked the Japanese artillery defense force and then turned around to fire at the Japanese reinforcements.

The Japanese reinforcements could not move forward even though they saw their artillery positions right in front of them.

The company commander quickly slaughtered the Japanese artillery and turned his guns to block the Japanese reinforcements.

The soldiers who knew how to use artillery turned their guns around and fired fiercely at the Japanese reinforcements and the Japanese infantry who were attacking the Qiongya guerrillas.

Although the soldiers of the first company of the independent battalion were not very accurate in their artillery fire, the fierce bombardment still caused heavy casualties to the Japanese troops in the Hainan Island base team.

However, the Japanese commander did not order the troops to retreat. Their mission was to protect Sanya airport and port terminal.

At this time, the 16th Japanese Guards saw that they could not attack the main gate, so they changed their strategy and attacked the Sanya Port from the left wing. However, they also encountered stubborn resistance from the Qiongya guerrillas.

At this time, the first and second echelons of the Independent Third Battalion had completed the clearing of the Japanese troops at the Sanya Port Wharf, and the two warships were completely under their control.

Battalion Commander Zhang arranged the second echelon of soldiers to reinforce the Qiongya guerrillas.

Lieutenant General Yoshino, the highest commander of the Japanese Hainan Island Garrison, left an elite force to defend the garrison, and the other soldiers rushed to reinforce.

More than 2000 Japanese troops and nearly 2000 Hainan Island Independent Battalion and Qiongya guerrillas engaged in a fierce battle in the narrow airspace outside the Sanya port terminal.

The Japanese troops on Hainan Island encountered fiercer resistance than any anti-Japanese forces they had encountered before, but the Japanese commander ordered a temporary halt to the attack.

Because they received a telegram that a fleet of eight warships consisting of the heavy cruiser "Takamaru" was rushing to Sanya, Hainan Island at full speed.
