Devil's Army

The Guanyinshan bunker could not be destroyed by artillery fire or aircraft. The Third Regiment Commander had no other options.

The second battalion commander proposed to bypass Guanyin Mountain and attack the Sanzao Island Airport. But the third regiment commander asked in return:

"By bypassing Guanyin Mountain, aren't there similar strong positions in other places? Once we encounter a tough position for the Japanese army, can we immediately bypass it and drive them out?"

The second battalion commander was scolded by the third regiment commander until his face turned red. Yes, we can't drive the Japanese invaders out of China by hiding blindly.

Since the artillery and bombers were powerless against the Japanese army's Guanyinshan bunker, the only option left was for the infantry to take action.

The second battalion commander organized two commando teams in the battalion and transferred most of the machine guns and rocket soldiers in the battalion to cooperate with them.

The two commandos started off well, but when they were not far from the Guanyinshan bunker, they were cross-fired by the bunker's machine gun fire points. The commandos in front were shot and fell one after another, and the attack was blocked.

The Japanese army's bunkers on both sides of Guanyin Mountain were arranged in a very sophisticated manner, with two or three bunkers corresponding to each other on each hillside.

Whenever the commandos attacked one of the bunkers, they would be strafed by the machine gun fire point in the other bunker.

This left the commandos with nowhere to hide and resulted in heavy casualties.

The third regiment commander decisively called off the attack. Although he was eager to capture the Japanese Sanzao Island airfield, this victory could not be achieved at the cost of the lives of his soldiers.

After hearing the report from the Third Regiment Commander, Commander Guo said in a relaxed tone:

"If you can't defeat him, then trap him to death."

The third commander looked at Commander Guo without quite understanding.

Commander Guo then said to the commander of the third regiment:

"At present, the Sanzao Island Airport has been destroyed by us, and it is unlikely that the Japanese army can use it in a short period of time. Therefore, the political significance of retaking the Sanzao Island Airport is greater than the practical significance."

Commander Guo took a sip of water and continued:

"I will arrange more aviation soldiers to cooperate with you to keep an eye on the Sanzao Island Airport and the path from the Sanzao Island Airport to Guanyin Mountain. Once the Japanese army is about to repair the Sanzao Island Airport, call the Air Force to bomb it immediately. If the Japanese army is found transporting supplies to the Guanyin Mountain bunker, destroy it immediately."

"There is no water on Guanyin Mountain, so the Japanese army is in a state of water and food shortage. In this way, even if we don't attack him, he will be defeated without a fight." The third regiment commander said happily.

Commander Guo nodded, called the communications soldier in, and asked him to ask a group of aviation soldiers to follow the commander of the Third Regiment to the front line to cooperate with the Third Regiment in combat.

The Second Battalion Commander then stopped attacking Guanyin Mountain and instead built fortifications in front of the Japanese bunkers and confronted the Japanese army.

When the Japanese troops attempted to leave the fortifications, they were immediately shot by the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

Over time, the Japanese troops hid in bunkers and fortifications, dared not show their heads.

In the evening, two Japanese trucks were carrying food and supplies to Guanyinshan fortifications, but they were soon discovered by a Golden Eagle No. 4 aircraft watching from the sky.

It immediately rushed down and fired fiercely at the two Japanese trucks.

The Japanese soldiers who were escorting the eagle raised their guns and shot at it, but to no avail. They had no choice but to flee in all directions to avoid the eagle's strafing.

The Japanese troops on Guanyin Mountain heard the fierce gunfire coming from behind them and were extremely worried, fearing that the devil's troops would cut off their transportation lines.

Since the Japanese Guanyin Mountain position was not far from the Sanzao Island Airport, the second battalion commander judged that the Japanese food and material reserves on Guanyin Mountain would not be sufficient.

This time, the food and supplies transported by the Japanese troops on Sanzao Island were intercepted by them. The Japanese troops on Guanyin Mountain will definitely find a way to get the Japanese troops on Sanzao Island to transport supplies for them.

The second battalion commander replenished the ammunition for the golden eagles that attacked the Japanese transport team, and then arranged for the soldiers to take turns to watch to prevent the Japanese troops on Guanyin Mountain from stealing the food supplies on the trucks under the cover of night.

At two o'clock in the morning, fierce gunfire was heard from the wreckage of the Japanese truck.

A small Japanese army detachment that attempted to smuggle food supplies from a truck was discovered by the golden eagles and was strafed by them, and all of them were wiped out.

This also confirmed the second battalion commander's guess that the Japanese army did not have much food supplies on Guanyin Mountain.

The second battalion commander added a Golden Eagle IV drone to patrol around Guanyin Mountain and monitor the paths leading to Guanyin Mountain more closely.

The First Army's Southern Front made relatively smooth progress, and successively recovered Heshan County and Nanhai County.

When the soldiers of the Second and Third Regiments of the Southern Front Army attacked the Xiguan area west of Guangzhou City and Sanyuanli area in Baiyun, they were blocked by the main force of the Japanese 23rd Army.

Subsequently, the Japanese army, with the cooperation of the armored forces, launched a fierce counterattack against the First Army's Southern Front.

Considering the strong strength of the Japanese army in Guangzhou at that time, Commander Zhang ordered to stop attacking Guangzhou.
