Devil's Army

The soldiers of the Second Regiment easily rushed into the maze path, but found that there were only a few Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, who had no strength to fight back.

The Japanese commander was also shot and killed while leading the charge.

After defeating these Japanese troops, the second regiment commander reported the battle situation to the division commander.

The commander of the first division ordered the commander of the second regiment to lead his soldiers to march towards Qionshan County.

Finally, they were about to break into the Japanese stronghold on Hainan Island. Despite the fatigue from continuous battles, the second regiment commander led his soldiers to march quickly towards Qiongshan County.

At this time, Captain Gu of the paratrooper unit had already led his paratroopers to capture Haikou Port, Haikou Military Camp and Haikou Command.

More than 20 Japanese officers and soldiers, including Commander Yoshino, were captured.

Captain Gu was leading the paratroopers to consolidate the fortifications to prevent a counterattack by the Japanese army.

At the same time, under the order of Commander Zhang, Deputy Commander Du personally selected more than 1000 elite soldiers to reinforce the Haikou battlefield.

Fortunately, Deputy Commander Du and his men took the lead and captured the Tankou ferry first.

Tankou Ferry is located on the north side of Yuxian Village, Yunlong Town, Qiongshan District, Haikou City. It is the only ferry on the Haikou to Wenchang and Jiaji highway, and is the only way for Japanese reinforcements to move eastward to support Haikou.

The river here is relatively narrow, and there is a slope on the east bank, from which we can block the enemy from a high position. There are also jungles around for hiding and cover, making it a good place for blocking.

When the Japanese reinforcements passed through the Tankou ferry, they were stubbornly blocked by the troops left behind by Deputy Commander Du.

The Japanese army's reinforcement troops sent out artillery to fiercely bombard the Tankou ferry, but they were soon retaliated by the artillery left behind by Deputy Army Commander Du.

The Japanese army launched two frenzied attacks on the Tankou ferry, but both were repelled by the brave soldiers of the First Army.

Commander Yoshino's telegrams for help came in like snowflakes. The Japanese commander had no choice but to leave one troop to continue attacking the Tankou ferry, while the other troop went downstream to find a shallow place to cross the Nandu River.

The Japanese troops took a detour to Guizi Bridge, which was built by the Japanese last year in order to invade Hainan Island. It has not been opened to traffic yet, but people can pass through. There are Japanese soldiers guarding both ends of the bridge.

The Japanese reinforcements quickly passed through the Guizi Bridge and then rushed quickly to the Haikou Command Headquarters.

The command center's telegrams could no longer be connected, and Commander Yoshino was definitely in danger.

When the Japanese reinforcements arrived near the headquarters, the battle there had already ended.

The reinforcements brought by Deputy Commander Du have already built fortifications outside the command center.

Whether or not Commander Yoshino was captured by the Devil's Army, he had to do something.

The commander of the Japanese reinforcements immediately led his troops and launched a fierce attack on Deputy Commander Du's troops.

The actions of the Japanese reinforcements had already been discovered by Deputy Commander Du's sentries, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle across the command center wall.

Captain Gu brought 300 paratroopers this time, divided into three groups to attack Haikou Port, Haikou military camp and the Japanese military headquarters in Haikou.

When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the battles of the three airborne troops had already ended.

They heard fierce gunfire and explosions coming from the Haikou Command Center and quickly rushed over from the Haikou military camp and Haikou Port.

The Japanese reinforcements were in a stalemate with Deputy Commander Du's reinforcements, and soon fierce gunfire was heard on both sides of his flanks.

The weapons and equipment of the airborne troops are far more sophisticated than those of Deputy Commander Du’s reinforcements.

They fired continuously from their 30-type automatic rifles with a magazine capacity of 95 rounds, making the Japanese army unable to raise their heads and had to retreat.

In order to eliminate the Japanese army's manpower in Haikou City, the reinforcements and paratroopers led by Deputy Commander Du pursued the Japanese reinforcements relentlessly.

The Japanese reinforcements provided cover in turns and retreated step by step. Finally, they withdrew their few remaining troops into the last station: Wenchang County.

Deputy Commander Du’s reinforcements and paratroopers did not pursue into Wenchang County.

At this time, the Japanese troops on Hainan Island were like grasshoppers in autumn, and could only jump for a few days.

Deputy Commander Du returned to Haikou. At that time, the paratroopers left behind in Haikou were already clearing out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Haikou.

Seeing that the situation in Haikou had basically stabilized, Deputy Commander Du exchanged a few words with Captain Gu and returned to Chengmai County with reinforcements.

At this time, the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division had already recaptured Chengmai County.

Deputy Commander Du rushed back to Chengmai County with reinforcements and immediately participated in clearing out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

The commanders of the first and third divisions suggested to Commander Zhang and Deputy Commander Du: immediately recapture Wenchang County and drive the Japanese troops into the sea.

Commander Zhang did not agree.

Wenchang County is now gathering the Japanese troops that have fled from various places. The force is conservatively estimated to be over 2000. Their troops have been fighting for days and are showing signs of fatigue.

He decided to let the troops rest for a few days and observe the movements of the Japanese army.
