Devil's Army

In order to deal with the devilish troops in Nanhai County with all his strength, Commander Sakai Takashi launched a massive "anti-bandit campaign" in the urban area of ​​Guangzhou.

The urban area of ​​Guangzhou fell into white terror and everyone was in panic.

The guerrilla groups in Guangzhou reduced their activities and went underground.

Following Secretary Yu's instructions, some guerrillas went to Nanhai County through their own channels, and the third regiment commander arranged someone to be responsible for their military training.

Commander Zhang learned from Secretary Yu that the Japanese army was launching a large-scale encirclement and suppression of various anti-Japanese armed forces in Guangzhou. He knew that the Japanese army was preparing to wipe out the anti-Japanese armed forces in various parts of Guangzhou and then launch a large-scale attack on their First Anti-Japanese Army.

He made several preparations for this:

1. Through Secretary Yu, we should reduce the actions of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Guangzhou. When the Japanese army launched a major counterattack against them, we should send troops to contain the Japanese troops.

2. Let the political workers arranged by Secretary Yu form several special conscription teams and increase the conscription efforts in the recovered counties and cities.

3. Intensify the anti-Japanese work in the counties that have just been recovered to avoid fire in the backyard when the large troops fight the Japanese troops in Guangzhou.

4. Let the First Regiment and the Second Regiment of the First Division, which were suppressing the Japanese and puppet troops in the county, rush to Nanhai County immediately to strengthen the defense of Nanhai County. Let the Third Division be responsible for suppressing the Japanese and puppet troops in the county.

5. The two battalions of recruits trained on Hainan Island will be added to the First Division.

6. Most of the artillery troops arranged by the Kunming headquarters were deployed to the front-line positions in Nanhai County.

At present, due to the serious shortage of aircraft and pilots in the Southern Air Force 21st Corps under Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi, Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi asked the Army Department to request the Japanese Army's rd Air Division, which was fighting in Wuhan and Jiangxi, to come to reinforce.

Before the Army Department responded, the Japanese 11th Army assembled more than 12 troops and launched the Third Battle of Changsha in order to support the Hong Kong operation and attack the Nanjing government's Ninth War Zone troops.

The Japanese Army's 3rd Flying Division was also sent to support the Battle of Changsha.

Without air support, the combat capability of the Japanese ground forces would be greatly reduced, and the number of casualties would increase exponentially.

Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi had no choice but to postpone the time of the major counterattack.

This undoubtedly gave the army some time to develop peacefully.

During the period of confrontation between the 21rd Regiment of the Southern Front and the 18th Division of the st Army of the Japanese Army, the Japanese troops on Sanzao Island transported supplies to the Japanese troops in the Guanyinshan bunker position three times, but they were all destroyed by the Golden Eagle UAVs of the st Army.

At this time, the Japanese troops in the Guanyin Mountain bunker had been without food and water for several days.

In order to defend the natural barrier leading to the Sanzao Island airport, the Japanese defenders on Sanzao Island arranged two squadrons of infantry to escort two trucks of supplies to the Guanyin Mountain bunker position.

Upon seeing this, the third regiment commander of the 1st Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army immediately dispatched two Golden Eagles for reinforcement.

When the Japanese commander saw three golden eagles flying towards them, he desperately ordered the grenade throwers to bomb the golden eagles in the air.

So, one grenade launcher shell after another flew into the air like a cannon hitting a mosquito, drew a beautiful parabola, and fell to the ground. The sound was terrifying, but there was almost no threat.

The Japanese soldiers kept raising their guns and shooting at the unmanned golden eagle in the air, but apart from hearing the "ding-dong-dong..." sound, there was no effect.

Fearing that the Japanese soldiers' bullets would hit the Golden Eagle's camera, the Army Aviation soldiers increased the Golden Eagle's flight altitude. They also swooped down and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers when they were not prepared.

The drivers of the two trucks were shot dead by golden eagles one after another, and the escorting Japanese troops fell to the ground one after another like cut rice ears.

Finally, the Japanese commander could not bear the heavy casualties and had to order the escort troops to retreat.

The Japanese troops in the Guanyinshan bunker were still without food and water.

At night, a team of Japanese troops in the Guanyin Mountain bunker quietly went down the mountain and retreated to the Sanzao Island Airport.

There was only a small group of half-dead Japanese soldiers left in the Guanyinshan bunker, symbolically defending it.

All of this is under the surveillance of the golden eagle.

At six o'clock in the morning, soldiers from the first company of the third regiment launched a fierce attack on the Guanyin Mountain bunker position.

This time, only intermittent machine gun fire was heard from the bunker on Guanyin Mountain.

The soldiers of the first company rushed to the bunker without much effort and threw grenades into it.

The soldiers of the first company successfully eliminated the Japanese troops in the five bunkers on both sides of Guanyin Mountain and the trenches connected to the bunkers.

The third regiment commander left one company behind to guard the bunker, and the other troops followed him to attack the Sanzao Island airport.
