Devil's Army

At six o'clock the next morning, the four detachments of the Southern Front Army launched another attack on the Japanese troops in the four counties.

When the Second Regiment Commander led his troops to attack the canyon position of the Wanling Ancient Post Road, they were bombarded by Japanese artillery.

The Southern Front's artillery then carried out a suppressive bombardment, but due to the dense forests and many trees, the suppressive bombardment did not achieve the expected effect.

The troops of the Second Regiment Commander were still subjected to intermittent bombardment by Japanese artillery during the attack.

The Second Regiment Commander called for air force support through Commander Zhang.

Soon, two Huaxia III fighters escorted two H-2 bombers and flew over, bombarding the lush Wanling Ancient Post Road Canyon.

The bombing was so fierce that the soldiers of the Second Regiment at the intersection of the canyon felt the ground shaking.

However, after the First Army's bombers stopped bombing, mortars from the woods continued to bombard the attacking soldiers of the Second Regiment.

Obviously, the Japanese large-caliber artillery had been destroyed by the bombers of the First Army, but the small-caliber mountain artillery and mortars that were easy to move were successfully moved after hearing the roar of the First Army's planes.

In order to completely destroy the threat of Japanese artillery, the commander of the second regiment arranged for the army aviation soldiers to release the Golden Eagle UAV for reconnaissance.

Soon, the golden eagle flying close to the tree discovered two small mountain cannons of the Japanese army.

Golden Eagle quickly sent the coordinates of the Japanese mountain artillery to his own artillery unit.

After a while, the whistling shells covered the two small mountain cannons of the Japanese army.

Soon, the golden eagle discovered the Japanese mortar position on the right side of the path.

Soon, the Southern Front's artillery shells covered the Japanese mortar positions.

The Southern Front Army completely destroyed the Japanese artillery positions and launched a covering bombing on the Japanese positions on both sides of the Wanling Ancient Post Road Canyon.

As soon as the bombing stopped, the soldiers of the Second Regiment immediately launched an attack on the Japanese positions on both sides of the canyon of the Wanling Ancient Post Road.

After the soldiers of the Second Regiment fought bravely and bloody, they finally broke through the canyon position of the Japanese army on the Wanling Ancient Post Road.

The Japanese army then retreated to Liulianling, and used the dense trees in Liulianling to continuously block the attacking soldiers of the Second Regiment.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment chased closely from behind, not giving the Japanese a chance to catch their breath. The soldier in front was unfortunately shot and killed, and the soldiers behind followed and continued to shoot at the Japanese.

The main force of the Japanese army then withdrew into Dongdaoling.

There is a road within the Dongdaoling Road, and an exit within the exit, but it is not an exit. It is like a maze.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment wandered around inside for more than an hour but were unable to get out.

The second commander had no choice but to dispatch the Golden Eagle drone to command from the air.

Only then did the Second Regiment Commander realize that the Japanese army had not entered the maze trail of Dongdaoling at all, but had retreated from the side of Dongdaoling at some point.

Under the command of Golden Eagle, the soldiers of the Second Regiment finally succeeded in getting out of the maze of Dongdaoling. At this time, there was no trace of the Japanese army.

The second regiment commander reported to the first division commander that their regiment had successfully recaptured Qiong'an County. However, the division commander did not ask them to continue to recapture Qiongshan County or Wenchang County. Instead, he asked them to build fortifications to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking while clearing out the county towns that had been recaptured in the past two days.

Because the artillery shells following the Second Regiment were running low.

At this time, the Second Detachment of the Left Column of the Southern Front Army also successfully recovered Lingao County. However, the battle to attack Ding'an County and Chengmai County did not go smoothly.

These two counties are adjacent to Qiongshan County, Haikou City, the old nest of the Japanese army on Hainan Island. The Japanese army deployed heavy troops for defense.

A part of the First Detachment of the Right Column of the Southern Front Army once broke through the gate of Ding'an County. However, they were counterattacked by the Japanese death squad. Both sides died together, and the gate of Ding'an County was also blocked by sandbags by the Japanese army.

The commander of the first regiment also called for reinforcements from the first army's air force.

The bombers and fighters of the First Army blew up the Japanese fortifications on the city wall of Ding'an County. But as soon as the bombers of the First Army stopped bombing, the Japanese reinforcements under the city wall immediately went up to the city wall to replace the destroyed firepower points.

When the 1st Regiment attacked Ding'an County, it encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army's follow-up reinforcements.

At this time, the artillery regiment had run out of shells.

A division commander immediately stopped the attack of the regiment, surrounded the south gate of Ding'an County, and waited until tomorrow to make plans.

When the battle summary meeting was held in the evening, the commander of the first regiment of the first division and the commander of the second regiment of the second division were dejected.

In today's daytime battle, their other two troops successfully recaptured Qiong'an County and Lingao County. But they did not complete the mission.

Commander Zhang consoled him:

"The reason why we failed to capture Ding'an County and Chengmai County today is not because of the poor combat effectiveness of the 34st Regiment of the st Division and the nd Regiment of the nd Division."

Seeing that everyone's curiosity was attracted, Commander Zhang stopped and lit a cigarette.
