Devil's Army

The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division finally crossed the small bridge under the cover of tanks.

Several soldiers kicked open the door of the Japanese bridgehead position and shot all the Japanese soldiers inside.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment finally broke through the Japanese army's Pearl River defense line and advanced towards Shiweitang and other places.

Shiweitang used to be an important commercial street in Guangzhou: Beijing Road, Shangxiajiu Road, and Diyiufu Road are all nearby.

The headquarters of the Japanese Army's 104th Division was located on Beijing Road.

Moreover, the streets along this route are relatively narrow and not suitable for the advance of the First Army's tanks.

The commander of the 104th Division of the Japanese Army set up an outer defense line at Shiweitang, attempting to keep the army's devilish troops outside the important commercial circles of Guangzhou.

In order to stop the attack of the First Army's tanks, the Japanese army also used 100mm howitzers.

Some houses in front of the Japanese positions in Shiweitang were collapsed by Japanese howitzer shells.

A tank on the left side of the First Army was hit by a Japanese howitzer and was scrapped on the spot.

The other four tanks of the First Army led the soldiers of the Third Regiment and charged forward.

More than half an hour later, the soldiers of the Third Regiment broke through the Japanese army's defense line at Shiweitang and attacked the artillery positions behind the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery guards fought hard to resist the attack of the First Army tanks, and the Japanese artillery quickly moved the artillery, but two 100mm howitzers were still destroyed by the First Army tanks.

After destroying the Japanese artillery positions, the Third Regiment continued to attack Beijing Road, Shangxiajiu Road, Shifu Road and other places.

The Japanese troops on Beijing Road, Shangxiajiu Road, and Shifu Road in Guangzhou took advantage of the narrow streets and the First Army tanks had no way of entering.

The Japanese army hid in shops and houses to block the soldiers of the Third Regiment.

When two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. None of the soldiers in the three regiments are cowards.

Since the tanks had no way to get in, they, under the cover of machine gunners and rocket soldiers, fought a house-by-house and alley-by-street battle with the Japanese troops hiding in houses and shops.

The 1st Regiment of the 2nd Independent Division of the Guangxi-Yunnan Front Army launched a fierce attack from Fangcun towards the Yuexiu old district of Guangzhou.

One regiment attacked Haizhu Bridge and encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army.

The First Army dispatched bombers and fighter planes to carry out limited bombing and strafing of Japanese positions on the other side of the Haizhu Bridge, providing strong support for the infantry's operations.

The soldiers of the first battalion of the first regiment quickly crossed the Haizhu Bridge.

The Japanese army, braving the strafing and bombing of the First Army's aircraft, continued to strafing at a group of soldiers crossing the bridge.

The machine gunners of the first battalion continued to move forward to suppress the Japanese machine gun fire.

The 40th rocket troops also continued to advance and bombarded the Japanese firepower points.

All the Japanese machine guns were destroyed. The remaining Japanese soldiers had only rifles to stop the attack of the First Army Infantry, but unfortunately they were unable to do so.

The soldiers of the first battalion rushed onto the Haizhu Bridge shouting, waving their shining bayonets to send the remaining Japanese troops back home.

On the one hand, soldiers from the first battalion of the first army broke through the Japanese army's defense line at the exit and turned to attack the headquarters of the Japanese 104th Division on Beijing Road in the northwest direction.

The Japanese army was struggling with the First Army's Southern Front, but they did not expect the Gui-Yunnan Front to attack from the northwest. They had no choice but to send part of the division guard to resist.

He took a guard troop and evacuated the division headquarters, the Japanese military police headquarters, and the Japanese puppet government agencies to the north.

The bombers and fighters of the First Army flew over Beijing Road and saw the chaotic retreating Japanese convoy. They immediately reported to Commander Zhang.

Commander Zhang judged that it was the Japanese command and government agencies retreating.

So he ordered the First Army's Air Force to immediately carry out limited bombing on them and try to destroy the Japanese command and government agencies.
