Devil's Army

After the entire third company entered Haikang County through the stinky ditch, they began to move towards the south gate.

The Japanese troops inside the South Gate were wondering why the devil troops outside the city were too weak in combat effectiveness. Was this the devil troops that were giving them a headache?

At this time, fierce gunfire was heard from the left side of the Japanese army.

Under the leadership of the South Route Guerrillas, the Third Company launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops at the south gate of Haikang County.

At this time, the Japanese commander of Haikang County began to understand why the devil troops outside the city wall were so weak in combat effectiveness.

Sure enough, while the third company launched an attack on the Japanese army from the flank, the second company outside the city wall also launched a real attack on the Japanese army on the city wall.

The Japanese army conveniently selected a small team and ordered them to stop the attack of the devil troops in the city at all costs, and then concentrate their main forces to deal with the devil troops outside the city wall.

But this time the combat effectiveness of the devil troops outside the city wall was not as weak as before.

The machine gunner lay on the ground, constantly suppressing the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall.

40 rocket soldiers continuously bombarded the machine gun fire points of the Japanese and puppet troops on the city walls.

The soldiers cooperated tacitly and continued to run towards the city wall.

In order to better suppress the Japanese firepower on the city wall, the machine gunners moved the machine gun positions forward from time to time.

The fierce and well-coordinated fire suppression by the devil troops caused the Japanese commander a lot of headaches.

Finally, the Japanese squad that blocked the Third Company in the city was defeated by the fierce bombing and strafing by the Third Company's rocket soldiers and machine gunners.

The third company successfully broke through the Japanese blocking line and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the city wall.

While the Japanese troops on the city wall were busy dealing with the attack from the third company, the soldiers of the second company blew up the city gate, rushed into the city, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops on the city wall from the front.

The Japanese commander hastily ordered his soldiers to retreat. But it was too late.

Soldiers from the third and second companies launched a fierce attack on the retreating Japanese soldiers from both wings.

Japanese soldiers continued to fall during their retreat.

The commander arranged a small team to cover the rear and block the attack of the devil troops, building a new line of defense for the main force to delay time.

But this small team could not withstand the mortar bombardment, rocket bombing, and machine gun fire of the First Army. In less than half an hour, the defense line was breached.

The Japanese army, which was preparing to resist the attack of the devil troops by relying on the houses on both sides of the street, was attacked fiercely by the second and third companies.

In less than an hour, the battle in Haikang County was over.

Soldiers from the Second Company and the Third Company of the Second Battalion began to clear out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Haikang County.

Soon, the second battalion commander also led his company into Haikang County.

In order to strengthen the defense of Haikang County, the second regiment commander soon moved the regiment headquarters and garrison troops to Haikang County.

The second regiment commander believed that this place was only about 100 miles away from Guangzhou Bay, the most important port on the Leizhou Peninsula.

Although the French controlled Guangzhou Bay on the surface and it was a French colony, the surrounding areas of Guangzhou Bay, the main ports, and Naozhou Island were all occupied by the Japanese army.

A number of Japanese forces had infiltrated Guangzhou Bay, either overtly or covertly.

The actual operation of Guangzhou Bay was largely influenced by the Japanese army.

The second commander decided to replace the Japanese army, gradually moving from influencing Guangzhou Bay to seizing actual control of Guangzhou Bay, and eventually driving the French colonists out of Guangzhou Bay.

The next morning, the Second Regiment of the First Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army divided into several routes and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese strongholds outside Guangzhou Bay.

It took the soldiers of the Second Regiment two days to recapture all the Japanese-occupied areas, including the Guangzhou Bay Port Terminal and Naozhou Island.

During the two days when the First Army was engaged in fierce fighting with the Japanese Army, not a single member of the French National Defense Force (soldiers with red ribbons), the Guard Force (soldiers with blue ribbons) and the Police Force (soldiers with green ribbons) appeared in Guangzhou Bay.

After the battle, the soldiers of the Second Regiment began to take over all the areas occupied by the Japanese army, and French soldiers began to come and make trouble.

What the French colonists most wanted to take back was the port terminal in Guangzhou Bay, which had a large cargo throughput and huge profits.

On the second day after the soldiers of the Second Regiment took over the Guangzhou Bay Wharf, a group of French red-banded soldiers arrived at the Guangzhou Bay Wharf.

A French officer with blue eyes and a high nose shouted to the company commander in a stiff Chinese voice:

"This is our jurisdiction, please evacuate!"

"Why didn't you tell the Japs to leave when they were here? You told us to leave right after we recaptured the city? No way."

At this time, the company commander had less than two platoons and more than 70 soldiers at the Guangzhou Bay Port Terminal, while the French army had more than 100 soldiers.

The French commander, who felt that he had been wronged, shouted arrogantly:

"If you don't withdraw, we will use force to drive you out!"

The soldiers all gathered around the company commander and listened to his orders.
