Devil's Army

When the soldiers and paratroopers of the Second Regiment were attacking Puqian Town, the Japanese troops who had taken a detour came to support them and launched a fierce attack on the soldiers of the First Army from behind.

The second regiment commander quickly made adjustments and decided to first deal with the Japanese reinforcements outside the city who were easy to defeat.

He arranged a unit to be in a defensive posture, monitoring the Japanese troops in the city, while the main force turned around and engaged the Japanese reinforcements outside the city.

At the same time, Captain Gu led the powerful paratrooper troops to encircle the Japanese reinforcements from both wings.

Fierce gunfire and grenade explosions were heard outside Puqian Town.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel in the town heard the fierce gunfire outside the town and knew that their reinforcements had returned, so he immediately sent troops out of Puqian Town to attack the devil troops outside the town from front and back. However, he was stubbornly blocked by the soldiers of the Second Regiment who had been paying close attention to the situation in the town.

The major commanded the Japanese army to attack for half an hour, but failed to break through the defense line of the devil troops and complete his plan to join forces with the Japanese troops outside the town.

At this time, Captain Gu's paratrooper unit and the main force of the Second Regiment Commander had completed the encirclement of the Japanese reinforcements.

At this time, the battle at the border between the Japanese army and the First Army was reduced in strength due to the Japanese army returning to support the headquarters. The positions in Qiongdong County and Qiongshan County were successively broken through by the soldiers of the First Independent Division and the Third Independent Division of the Southern Front Army.

After breaking through the Japanese positions, the soldiers of the 1st and 3rd Independent Divisions cleared out the remaining Japanese troops while sending reinforcements to the 1st Army soldiers in Puqian Town.

The situation of the Japanese reinforcement troops in the encirclement became increasingly dangerous, and they began to launch suicidal attacks on the relatively weak soldiers of the Second Regiment. However, they were all stubbornly resisted by the soldiers of the Second Regiment.

Captain Gu saw that the Japanese army was fighting a desperate battle and ordered the paratroopers to intensify their attack on the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

After a fierce battle, Captain Gu's paratroopers broke through the temporary fortifications built by the Japanese reinforcements.

The Second Regiment, which had been on the defensive, also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, attacking the Japanese reinforcements from three sides.

Finally, when the main force of the First Army's Southern Front arrived, the Second Regiment and the paratroopers joined forces to destroy the Japanese reinforcements in front of Puqian Town.

At this time, the situation of Puqian Town Major was hopeless, but he had no way out.

There are no fortifications outside Puqian Town. If he evacuates Puqian Town, the only result that awaits him is that he will be destroyed by the devil's troops on the way of retreat.

He also transferred his guards to the city wall and took command personally.

The siege troops of the Second Regiment and the paratroopers encountered stubborn resistance from the major in the town. Captain Du came with two bombers to support them, strafing and bombing the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall.

An officer surrounded by a group of guards caught Captain Du's attention.

He swooped over in his fighter jet, and the three 20mm machine guns on board kept firing at the guards.

The Japanese major was hit by several bullets and went to see their emperor accompanied by their guards.

With the support of bombers and fighter planes, the soldiers of the Second Regiment and the paratroopers outside the town finally rushed into Puqian Town and began to clear out the remnants of the Japanese troops in Puqian Town.

At this time, reinforcements from the 3rd Independent Division and the 1st Independent Division arrived at Puqian Town one after another, but the battle had already entered its final stages.

The soldiers of the 3rd Independent Division and the 1st Independent Division took one day to clear out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in various towns and strongholds in Wenchang County.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Commander Zhang of the Southern Front sent a telegram to the Kunming headquarters:

The entire Hainan Island was recovered!

At this point, Hainan Island, which had been occupied for nearly three years, was recovered by the First Anti-Japanese Army.

The residents, military and civilians on Hainan Island cheered.

However, Commander Zhang and Deputy Commander Du did not relax. They knew that as Nan Island in the South China Sea was an important southern base of the Japanese army, they would definitely not give up and they were actively preparing for war.

The political cadres sent by Secretary Yu also knew that the current situation was not optimistic.

On the one hand, they stepped up post-war recovery work, on the other hand, they strengthened conscription work, and did not forget to strengthen the joint defense work between the army and the people.

Every coastal town has formed a militia to guard against strangers entering Hainan Island during the busy farming season.

The fishermen of the South Island also became an important line of defense for the army.

When they were fishing at sea, they discovered a fleet of Japanese troops sneaking in from the Qiongzhou Strait and immediately rushed back to report to the local garrison.

Commander Zhang immediately ordered Captain Du to take off all the fighter planes and bombers on Hainan Island to meet the enemy.

The Japanese fleet that attempted to launch a surprise attack on Haikou City on Hainan Island saw a large number of sharp-nosed planes of the Devil's Army rushing towards them and quickly ordered a retreat.
