Devil's Army

A Japanese soldier looked up at the sky in surprise. He suddenly screamed:

"Air, airborne troops!"

Captain Du knew that Captain Gu and his men were in danger, so he quickly transported all the remaining 100-odd paratroopers from Haikou City over there.

When the Japanese army saw the paratroopers from the Devil's Unit coming to reinforce, they quickly increased their attack.

When the paratroopers saw that their reinforcements had arrived, they fought even more tenaciously to block the Japanese attack.

More intense gunfire was heard at the Col base.

As the First Army Air Force increased the intensity of its bombing and strafing on the Japanese troops on Weizhou Island, the Japanese troops on Weizhou Island finally could not resist and retreated while fighting.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Independent Division launched a fierce attack in the direction of the col base and finally joined up with the soldiers of the First Battalion.

Soldiers from the two battalions worked together to defeat the Japanese blockade on Weizhou Island and quickly advanced towards the base in the valley.

The paratrooper reinforcements from Hainan Island were shot at by Japanese troops on the ground during their descent.

The paratroopers also exchanged fire with the Japanese troops during their descent.

After landing on the ground, the paratroopers quickly assembled, then split into two groups and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops in the base from the high ground on both sides of the valley base.

The Japanese army was shot down by the paratroopers from the heights on both sides, and was in a state of disarray. However, they still stepped up their attack on the front paratrooper defense line.

If they lose these two material warehouses, severe punishment will await them.

When the soldiers from the two battalions arrived at the base in the valley, the Japanese troops and paratroopers were still fighting fiercely.

The soldiers of the 1st Independent Division immediately joined the battle and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in front.

With the two battalions of the independent division joining the battle, the Japanese army's defeat was inevitable.

The mortar troops from two battalions of the independent division used intensive artillery fire to break through the defense line at the gate of the Japanese army's mountain base.

The infantry then rushed into the Japanese base in the valley with shouts.

The Japanese troops, surrounded on all sides, were attacked by the soldiers of the independent division and the paratroopers. They had no way to retreat and were completely annihilated inside and outside the col base.

After cleaning up the battlefield of the Japanese army's valley base, the two battalions of the independent division did not continue to participate in the battle, but instead defended the Japanese army's valley base together with the paratroopers.

At this time, soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Independent Division had already attacked Weizhou Island and were clearing out the remaining Japanese troops on the island.

The Gui army also broke through the outer defense line of Weizhou Island and was advancing deep into Weizhou Island.

Subsequently, with the cooperation of the 1st Independent Division, the Gui Army broke through the Japanese defense line on Weizhou Island.

The Japanese army retreated hastily towards the Leizhou Peninsula.

Weizhou Island is located in the middle of the Beibu Gulf in Beihai County, Guangxi. After the Japanese army occupied Weizhou Island, they used it as an important military base for invading South China and even Southeast Asian countries.

The recovery of Weizhou Island marked the end of the Japanese occupation of Guangxi.

Afterwards, Commander Li of the Gui Army made a request to Leng Feng: that the Australian Island be handed over to the management of their Gui Army.

Leng Feng readily agreed. His current main strategy was to open up the transportation line from Hainan Island to Yunnan, rather than occupying Weizhou Island. However, he made two requests to Commander Li:

1. The troops often pass through Guangxi to reinforce Hainan Island, and we hope to be given convenience.

2. They sent troops to take over the Japanese army's base in the valley.

Although Commander Li did not want the existence of another force on Weizhou Island, the recovery of Weizhou Island was mainly the function of the First Anti-Japanese Army.

In order to recapture Weizhou Island, the 1st Independent Division of the Guizhou-Yunnan Front Army paid a heavy price.

Especially in recapture of the Japanese army's base in the mountain valley, the paratrooper troops of the First Anti-Japanese Army paid a heavy price.

Moreover, the Japanese army is still eyeing the surrounding area covetously. If one army’s troops help to defend Weizhou Island, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to land from the sea.

Thinking of this, Commander Li readily agreed to Commander Leng's request.

Leng Feng then ordered the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Independent Division of the Guangxi-Yunnan Army to garrison the Col base on Weiweizhou Island.

The paratroopers also temporarily rested at the col base.

The Independent 1st Division will rest on Weizhou Island for one day and will withdraw from Weizhou Island at six o'clock tomorrow morning and advance towards Xuwen Port on the Leizhou Peninsula.

There is an air base built by the Japanese army near the Weizhou Island Col Base. The Japanese army mainly used it as a springboard to bomb the southern part of China and small countries in Southeast Asia.

After Hainan Island was recaptured by the Devil's Army, most of the aircraft at the Japanese Air Force Base on Weizhou Island had been evacuated to other airports, and Weizhou Island became their naval base.

When Captain Yin returned to Kunming, he left 60 bombers and fighter planes at the Weizhou Island Airport.

On the one hand, it can coordinate with the Fourth Air Force of Hainan Island. On the other hand, it can also support the First Independent Division in attacking various cities in the south.
