Devil's Army

The second company commander arrived at the battalion headquarters, and the second regiment commander and the deputy regiment commander were also at the battalion headquarters.

The second company commander introduced Captain Xu to the battalion commander and the regiment commander and explained his purpose.

The regiment commander asked the guards to pour a glass of water for Captain Xu, invited him to sit down, and introduced the situation near Haikang County to them.

Haikang County is relatively close to the Japanese strongholds, and the Japanese often come to raid and the county also often falls into their clutches.

As soon as the Japanese army left, the southern government forces came and took over Haikang County.

Haikang County and the surrounding towns have been caught in a tug-of-war between the Japanese army, the Nanjing government forces and their guerrillas.

In the past few days, two Japanese squadrons occupied Haikang County again and set up an ambush position at the pass of Kelu Town, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the First Anti-Japanese Army.

So I stopped you on the way to the Kelu Town Pass to avoid an ambush by the Japanese army.

After hearing this, the regiment commander smiled, called the signalman over, and gave an order:

The second company stopped advancing towards Haikang County, asked for help from the Weizhou Island Air Force, and bombed the Kelu Town Pass.

Soon, two Huaxia III fighters escorted two H-2 bombers and took off from the Weizhou Island Air Force Base and bombed the woods at the pass of Kelu Town fiercely.

The Japanese soldiers in the woods at the Kelu Town Pass have been wondering why the devil troops didn't fall into the trap?

Just as the Japanese army was anxiously waiting for the Devil Force to enter the ambush circle, they instead received bombs from the Devil Force's bombers.

The dense bombs dropped by the First Army bombers swept through the woods at the pass of Kelu Town.

Many Japanese soldiers hiding in the woods at the pass were killed or wounded in the explosion.

After the bombers of the First Army stopped bombing, the soldiers of the Second Company launched a fierce attack on the pass of Kelu Town.

The Japanese troops who survived the Devil Force's air raid hurriedly tried to stop them, but were met with fierce counterattacks from the second company's machine gunners and rocket soldiers.

The soldiers of the second company successfully rushed to the pass and continued to pursue the fleeing Japanese troops, but the second company commander stopped the soldiers.

They are now alone and deep in the pass of Kelu Town. If the Japanese army counterattacks, their situation will be very dangerous.

The second battalion commander was also worried about the safety of the second company, so he led his troops to chase after them.

When the Second Battalion arrived at the outskirts of Haikang County, the Second Battalion Commander requested to attack Haikang County, but the Second Regiment Commander did not agree and only asked them to surround Haikang County without attacking it.

Although the second battalion commander had doubts, he still carried out the orders of the second regiment commander to the letter.

After a long while, the Second Regiment Commander and Captain Xu of the South Route Guerrillas arrived.

The Second Regiment Commander met the Second Battalion Commander and immediately gave the order:

"You three companies will act together with Captain Xu and his men. Half an hour later, you will launch a feint attack on Haikang County."

"Feint attack?" The second battalion commander thought he had heard wrong and asked again.

"Yes, a feint. The attack must be fierce, but the progress must be slow."

"Yes!"

Led by Captain Xu of the third company, they left the south gate of Haikang County.

The soldiers of the third company followed the guerrillas of the southern route and turned left and right to a cemetery. After passing through the cemetery, they came to a stinking ditch.

Walking north along the stinking ditch, the soldiers saw a city wall that had collapsed at some point and was covered with weeds.

"We'll wait here. I'll take a few soldiers in to check out the situation. I'll wave at you, and you'll go into the city through this stinking ditch. If you hear a cat meowing, stop immediately."

"Okay."

The third company commander did not expect that they could enter Haikang County without firing a single shot.

Soon, the soldiers saw Captain Xu waving at them and quickly entered Haikang County from the stinky ditch.

After a while, a burst of anxious cat's cry came from the collapsed city wall.

The soldiers of the third company outside the city wall immediately stopped entering Haikang City and hid.

The soldiers who had entered Haikang City immediately hid in the weeds and stared at the collapsed city wall nervously.

After a while, a sound of orderly footsteps came from far away.

A Japanese patrol team passed over the collapsed city wall.

When the Japanese patrol team reached the collapsed city wall, they stopped and looked around outside the wall.

Nearly ten minutes later, the Japanese patrol team left the collapsed city wall and continued their patrol.

After the Japanese patrol team left, the soldiers of the third company continued to enter Haikang County through the stinking ditch.

At this time, the second battalion commander ordered the second battalion's mortar soldiers to launch a fierce bombardment on the wall of Haikang South Gate.

The sound of artillery shells exploding was mixed with the shouts of the soldiers of the second company.

The Japanese soldiers on the city wall braved the bombardment of the first army's artillery and continued to fire towards the place where the shouting came from.

What surprised the Japanese was that the soldiers of the Devil's Army outside the South Gate fired fierce artillery fire and shouted loudly, but their attack was very slow.
