Devil's Army

The vanguard of the 48st Regiment was blocked by the th Division of the Japanese Army. Commander Du immediately ordered artillery fire to clear the way.

One shell after another whizzed towards the Japanese positions.

The artillery bombardment had just stopped and the smoke had not yet dissipated when the first company launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

When the 1st Regiment of the 1st Independent Division went out to battle, Leng Feng specially equipped them with light and heavy machine guns.

How could the soldiers of the 48th Division of the Japanese Army have ever encountered such a powerful force? In just one encounter, their positions were breached one after another.

After breaking through the Japanese positions, Captain Du did not pursue them, but continued to march towards Suixi County with his large troops.

Before Du and his men left Hepu County, the Japanese 48th Division showed its advantage in mobility. They surrounded Du's st Regiment of the Independent Division from two routes, Hepu County and Suixi County.

The vanguard of the First Regiment engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese defenders of Suixi County in the hilly area of ​​Shankou Town, Hepu County.

The Japanese defenders of Hepu County who arrived later also engaged in a fierce battle with the Third Battalion of the First Regiment.

The Japanese troops in Hepu County launched two attacks, attempting to join forces with the Japanese troops in Suixi County to wipe out the First Regiment. However, they were stubbornly blocked by the First Battalion and were suppressed under the hill and could not move.

With the support of artillery, the vanguard company of the first regiment quickly broke through the temporary positions of the Japanese army in Suixi County.

Japanese troops near Suixi County rushed over to reinforce one after another, and like a sharp knife, they kept moving straight towards Xuwen County.

Although the Japanese troops in Suixi County received reinforcements, they were still unable to withstand a series of fierce machine gun fire.

The Japanese army's subsequent reinforcements were also severely bombarded by an artillery regiment and were completely defeated.

The vanguard of the regiment launched an unstoppable offensive, killing all who stood in their way and finally reached Xuwen County.

According to intelligence from the Golden Eagle UAV, the Japanese troops in Xuwen County were already on high alert, ready to block a regiment from reinforcing Hainan Island.

Behind Captain Du, the Japanese troops in Suixi County were also gathering, preparing to attack the 1st Regiment from behind.

With the combat effectiveness of an independent division and a reinforced regiment, they were not afraid of the two-sided attack by the Japanese troops of Xuwen County and Suixi County. However, how to cross the sea smoothly was the key.

Thinking of this, Commander Du arranged for the first battalion to bypass the Japanese army on the opposite side and occupy Xuwen Port in advance. It would be best if they could control two cargo ships or passenger ships and take them across Hainan Island.

In order to avoid the Japanese army, Captain Du also assigned the golden eagle to the battalion commander.

The main force of Captain Du arrived at Xiaqiao Town, Xuwen County, and confronted the Japanese army who were ready for battle.

A battalion commander led his soldiers to bypass Xiaqiao Town and head straight for the Xuwen Port civilian wharf.

According to the intelligence sent back by the Golden Eagle UAV, most of the Japanese troops in Xuwen Port have rushed to the border with Suixi County to deploy defenses to prevent the 1st Regiment of the Independent 1st Division from breaking through the Xuwen County defense line.

There are two patrol teams at the port terminal, and there is a military camp not far to the left of the port.

Judging from the Japanese troops walking around outside the military camp, there were not many Japanese troops left behind.

What made the battalion commander happiest was that two cargo ships were unloading at Xuwen Port.

The battalion commander immediately made arrangements: the first company would attack the two cargo ships at Xuwen Port; the second company would be responsible for dealing with the Japanese troops at the port dock; and the third company would be responsible for dealing with the Japanese troops in the military camp and the Japanese troops that would reinforce Xuwen Port.

After issuing the combat order, the battalion commander asked everyone:

"Are you all clear about your mission?"

"Clear!"

"anymore question?"

"no!"

"Okay, take action!"

When the company rushed towards the cargo ship at the port dock, they encountered several Japanese soldiers. The company commander immediately opened fire, and gunshots suddenly rang out at the Xuwen Port dock.

The second company commander rushed over with his soldiers, covering the first company as it rushed towards the two cargo ships at the port dock.

The Japanese soldiers patrolling the port immediately surrounded the Second Company from both sides.

The second company commander led his soldiers to hide behind the cargo and kept killing the Japanese soldiers.

The third company commander led his soldiers to rush directly to the Japanese military camp, and met the Japanese troops who were preparing to reinforce the port dock at the gate of the military camp. The two sides then engaged in a fierce battle across the military camp wall.

The company commander and the deputy company commander led their soldiers to the two freighters that were unloading cargo, which made the porters and crew members who were hiding on the ship to avoid the gunfight panic.

The company commander comforted everyone:

"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid. We are the first army in the anti-Japanese war. You should hide on the boat first and don't get off. Wait until we have eliminated these devils, and then you can continue to work."

When the crew members and porters heard the company commander speaking Chinese and that their purpose of coming here was to eliminate the Japanese, they felt a little relieved.

At this time, a deputy company commander had already taken control of another freighter.
