Devil's Army

The captain of the special forces regiment saw that the resistance in the Japanese headquarters was very stubborn and difficult to break through for a while.

And the sound of gunfire outside was getting closer.

In order to prevent being attacked from both sides by the Japanese army's internal troops and the external reinforcements, the captain decisively ordered to withdraw from the battle.

Commander Takashi Sakai was worried about an ambush and did not order his soldiers to chase after them.

The special forces of the First Army quickly disappeared into the vast night.

The next morning, the regiment commander was very annoyed when he heard the report from the captain of the special operations team. After many attacks, they failed to break through the Japanese Niulangang position.

He asked the commander of the newly formed First Division, Wu, to launch another strong attack on the Japanese Niulangang position. However, Wu did not agree and just asked him to follow the arrangements of his superiors and wait for orders!

The depressed regiment commander had not yet left the division headquarters when the communicator came to report: a tank company from Kunming had arrived at the South China Sea Navy Headquarters.

The commander of the First Regiment and Commander Wu sensitively realized that the military would soon have a major operation, so they hurriedly got on the truck and rushed to the South China Sea Navy Headquarters.

When they arrived at the South China Sea Navy Headquarters, Commander Zhang and Deputy Commander Du had not yet finalized the battle plan and assigned the tank company.

Division Commander Wu immediately stepped forward to ask for a tank company to be assigned to their newly formed First Division. They would surely soon break through the Japanese defense line in the Niulangang area of ​​Sanyuanli.

Zhang Shaojie smiled and asked:

"Commander Wu, you were born in the Year of the Dog, so you have such a keen sense of smell. The tank company assigned by the Kunming headquarters has just arrived, and I haven't assigned them yet, and you're here to snatch them?"

"It doesn't matter who you give it to, Commander? It's like fighting the Japanese."

"Yes, it's all about fighting the Japanese. Our troops are in Fangcun, facing the Japanese army across the Pearl River Bridge for many days, but they haven't made any progress. Can you give us the tank company?"

Before Commander Chen of the Second Independent Division of the Southern Front Army could be seen, his voice had already been heard from outside the gate.

"Fatty Chen, that's not the way to say it. There has to be a first come first served system. We arrived first, so the tank company must give us some."

"Old Wu, the tank company must have been assigned the toughest task. Our Second Division is separated from us by the Pearl River, and there is no ferry. There is only one small bridge, and the Japanese defense is quite strict. We have fought for several days but have made no progress. So we have to rely on the tank company to break through the Japanese defense line."

"Commander Chen is right. There is no ferry at the Guangfo Ferry, and there is no way to reach the other side of the Pearl River. The Japanese army blocked the bridgehead with crossfire from a high position at the small bridge downstream of the Guangfo Ferry. Moreover, the Japanese bridgehead position is very close to the residential area, and the aircraft cannot bomb it, so it is difficult to break through."

"So Commander Zhang agrees to assign the tank company to our Second Independent Division?"

"The lanes in Niulangang are numerous, narrow and winding. Not far behind is the headquarters of the 23rd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. The Japanese resistance is very tenacious and is a tough nut to crack."

"That's the same as not saying anything." Commander Chen muttered.

"Fatty Chen, are you saying bad things about our Commander Zhang?" Deputy Commander Du asked in a fake tone.

"Report to Deputy Commander Du, no, I said Commander Zhang's analysis was correct."

"So I decided to split the tank company into two and assign them to your Independent Second Division and the New First Division."

"General Zhang, what about us?" Upon hearing the news, Division Commander He of the Second Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front also came to compete for the tank company.

"The Japanese positions in front of your Second Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army are relatively easy to recapture, so we will not assign you a tank company for the time being.

There was a hint of disappointment on Commander He's face.

Commander Zhang did not continue to explain to him, but issued a new combat order.
