Devil's Army

Commander Kondo was speechless. According to current intelligence analysis, the number of Devil Force's pointed aircraft that attacked their fleet exceeded 200.

When did the number of Devil Force aircraft double? Their intelligence system had no idea.

But it's too late to complain now.

Commander Kondo led the warships of the main fleet and fired at the planes of the First Army in the air with all their might.

The fighters and bombers of the First Air Force continued to venture into the dense anti-aircraft fire network like moths to a flame, continuously strafing and bombing the Japanese warships.

Japanese warships were hit and caught fire one after another.

A destroyer began to tilt and take in water, and was in danger of sinking at any time.

Commander Kondo knew that if they continued fighting, their fleet would most likely be wiped out.

Commander Kondo then ordered the entire fleet to retreat quickly.

Upon seeing this, Captain Yin quickly chased after them with fighter planes and bombers, strafing and bombing the retreating Japanese warships fiercely.

The Japanese army cannot come to China's sea whenever they want. Now that they are here, they should leave their lives behind.

Under the leadership of Captain Yin, Commander Kondo's fleet lost two destroyers and a cruiser.

The other warships fled back to the Qiongzhou Strait with injuries.

Another fleet was also heavily bombed and strafed by the Third Air Group of the First Army of Weizhou Island and the Fourth Air Group of Hainan Island in Guangzhou Bay. Five warships sank or lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining warships fled in a panic with injuries.

Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Juichi had never thought that the navy would attack from both sides and defeat the Devil Forces. However, it was a good thing to be able to contain the main force of the Devil Forces and give the 23rd Army in Guangzhou a break.

But no one expected that they would flee in a panic after only one day of attack.

It seems that they have to rely on themselves for the army’s affairs.

Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi requested the Army Ministry to send more reinforcements and increase the number of air forces, while at the same time asking Lieutenant General Sakai Takashi to transfer follow-up troops to the front line.

What surprised Commander Takashi Sakai was that even after their Fifth Fleet retreated, the Devil Force still did not launch an attack on their Guangzhou city area.

"Is the devil's army planning some big move again?" Commander Sakai Takashi immediately thought of the fire in Fei'eling and the Jinjuzui sugarcane forest.

He immediately ordered that the troops' attack on the devil's troops be limited to squadron size.

As a result, small-scale counterattacks by the Japanese army appeared in various places outside Guangzhou, but they were all repelled by the soldiers of the Devil's Army.

On the evening of the day when the Japanese Fifth Fleet was defeated, Captain Yin launched a bombing campaign against the Japanese positions in Guangzhou. However, most of the Japanese troops retreated to civilian houses and busy streets. The pilots of the First Army were timid during the bombing, and the bombing effect was greatly reduced.

After three days, the Japanese army had become accustomed to this confrontation and was no longer so nervous.

That night, the commander of the first regiment of the newly formed first division quietly organized a special operations team. They bypassed the Niulangang position where the two sides had been in a standoff for a long time, came to the Japanese army mentioned by the Sanyuanli guerrillas, and lay dormant outside the headquarters of the 23rd Independent Mixed Brigade.

At one o'clock in the morning, the 23st Special Forces Regiment divided into two groups and launched a fierce attack on the headquarters of the rd Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese sentry at the brigade gate was sent back home before he could understand what was going on.

On the way back to the gate, a patrol team was attacked by another special forces team and was completely wiped out.

Soon, the Japanese brigade commander, who had not yet fallen asleep, personally commanded the counterattack.

Japanese troops around the 23rd Brigade also rushed to reinforce.
