Devil's Army

While the Japanese Army's 21st Southern Air Corps was fighting in the air with Captain Du's th Air Brigade for air supremacy over Hainan Island, the nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment had already recaptured Lingshui County with the cooperation of bombers.

Afterwards, the second battalion commander asked to leave a platoon of troops to garrison Lingshui County, and the rest of the large forces went to attack Lingshui Airport.

The main attack this time was carried out by the Second Company of the Second Battalion. Before they entered Lingshui Airport, they were blocked by outer troops.

The Japanese Army's Eighth Special Operations Team was defending Lingshui Airport.

There is also the Japanese Army's First Special Operations Team that retreated after being defeated.

The Japanese First Special Operations Team lost Lingshui County, and Commander Yoshino arranged them at the second line of defense at Lingshui Airport.

When the Second Company arrived near Tianzhupo in Sancai Town, it was ambushed by the Eighth Special Operations Team of the Japanese Army, which had already built fortifications on these hills.

The previous battle was mainly fought by the first company. The second company commander, eager to make a contribution, immediately launched a strong attack on the Tianzhupo position.

The Japanese army defended the only remaining airport on Hainan Island very strictly and built strong fortifications at Tianzhupo leading to Sancai Town.

When the second company commander launched a strong attack on Tianzhupo, he was fiercely strafed by the crossfire of two Japanese heavy machine guns. He suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

When the second company commander regrouped his forces and prepared to attack Tianzhupo, the second battalion commander stopped him.

The Japanese positions had fierce firepower and strong fortifications. Even if the Second Battalion, which lacked heavy firepower, stormed the Japanese fortifications, it would suffer heavy casualties. So they asked Commander Zhang for air support.

Soon, Commander Zhang replied: The Air Force had just fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army and has just returned. We will take off at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to support the Second Battalion in combat.

The second battalion commander then ordered his troops to stop the attack and confront the Japanese army across the hills.

At night, the second battalion commander arranged a platoon of soldiers from the second company to prepare for a surprise attack on the Japanese army.

The main force of the Second Company was ready to provide quick reinforcements after their platoon's surprise attack was successful.

The Japanese army had been on guard against sneak attacks by the devil troops and arranged light and hidden sentries two miles away from the fortifications.

After the platoon leader approached the Japanese army's visible sentry, he was discovered by the Japanese army's secret sentry, who fired a warning shot.

Subsequently, a flare was fired from the front line of the Japanese position.

The platoon leader and his men were clearly exposed by the flares.

The light and heavy machine guns in the Japanese fortifications fired fiercely at the platoon leader and his men.

The platoon leader had to cancel the sneak attack plan and retreat to the camp.

When Commander Zhang received the telegram from the Second Battalion Commander about the failure of the night attack on the Japanese position, he did not blame him, but was secretly surprised: the Japanese troops in Lingshui County were not only fierce in combat, but also full of tricks.

If these two Japanese troops are not eliminated, they will become strong opponents in their efforts to recover Hainan Island in the future.

At around 6 o'clock the next morning, three fighter planes and two bombers of the First Army appeared in the sky above Tianzhupo on time.

In order to draw out the Japanese army's firepower points, the second battalion commander launched an attack on the Japanese Tianzhupo position at 6 o'clock on time.

The two bombers of the First Army launched a fierce bombing on the Japanese troops at the Tianzhupo position who were fiercely blocking the attack of the Second Battalion.

After the bombing by the First Army's bombers ended, the Second Battalion officially launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in Tianzhupo.

The Japanese troops who survived the air raid quickly organized firepower to block the attack of the Second Battalion.

The fighter planes of the First Army, which had been patrolling in the air, immediately carried out targeted elimination of the Japanese firepower points.

After more than an hour of bloody fighting, the Second Company successfully occupied the Tianzhupo position and continued to advance towards the Sancai Town Airport.

When the Second Company reached the woods along the Lingshui River, it was blocked by the retreating First Special Operations Team of the Japanese Army in Lingshui County.

When the first company commander heard that the Japanese Army's First Special Operations Team was in the woods, he immediately asked the second battalion commander to join the fight.

When they attacked Lingshui County, they were stubbornly blocked by this Japanese unit and suffered heavy casualties. He wanted revenge!

In order to open up the road to the Japanese airfield in Sancai Town as soon as possible, the second battalion commander agreed to the request of the first company commander and ordered them to ambush the Japanese army from the right wing.

At the same time, the remaining three companies were also pushed forward to ambush the Japanese army from the left wing.

Although the captain of the Japanese Army's First Special Operations Team tried his best to stop the attack of the Second Battalion, he could not withstand the fierce attack from three directions of the Second Battalion and finally retreated again.

After repelling the Japanese First Special Operations Team, the Second Battalion Commander led a large force to quickly attack the Sancai Town Airport.

The Second Battalion Commander and his men quickly approached the Sancai Town Airport, but were met with stubborn resistance from the airport defenders: the Japanese Army's Eighth Special Operations Team.

The first army bombers that were attacking Tianzhupo were also ordered to fly over and bomb the Japanese defenders at the airport.
