Devil's Army

While the First Army's fighter planes and bombers were strafing and bombing the attacking Japanese troops, the soldiers of the first company were also shooting and killing the surviving Japanese troops.

In the end, this unyielding Japanese infantry squadron was completely defeated, and the squadron leader went to see their emperor.

A battalion commander who was retreating to Hekou County stopped when he heard fierce gunfire behind him.

At this time, the second battalion commander came with his soldiers to provide support.

The first battalion commander asked the second battalion commander:

"Brother Tianzhu, what are you doing here?"

"Captain Huang asked us to come and pick you up."

"Are they just here to support us?" asked a battalion commander, pointing at the Japanese troops behind who were fighting fiercely with the Gui-Yunnan Front Army.

"Oh, and kill those beasts." The second battalion commander reacted immediately.

"What are you waiting for? If you go too late, you won't even have soup to drink. Brothers, follow me to kill the devils."

The battalion commander led the retreating soldiers of the first battalion and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese from the front.

The commander of the second battalion was not willing to be left behind, and he immediately led the soldiers of the second battalion to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army from the front.

The Japanese vanguard, which was trying its best to deal with the attack of two companies of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army, had to divert its forces to resist the attack of the first and second battalions of the Yunnan Army. The situation became increasingly critical.

In order to reinforce the vanguard troops in critical situation, the Japanese follow-up troops also desperately attacked the positions of the first company, but they were fiercely strafed and bombed by the fighter planes and bombers of the first army.

Suddenly, the Japanese follow-up troops changed their strategy and dispersed through the woods and ditches on both sides of the path to attack the positions of the first company of the first army.

With the cover of trees and ditches, it was difficult for the First Army's fighters and bombers to effectively kill large areas of Japanese infantry.

The company's position also became precarious.

At this time, fierce gunfire was heard on both wings of the Japanese follow-up troops.

The Second Battalion of the First Regiment of the Third Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army stationed in Mile City also rushed over and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese follow-up troops from both wings.

The Japanese army's follow-up troops could not withstand the three-sided attack of the Guizhou-Yunnan Front Army, so they withdrew their forces.

The Second Battalion of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army immediately separated two companies to participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese vanguard.

After a fierce battle, two infantry squadrons of the Japanese vanguard were wiped out on a small path next to a cornfield.

The Japanese commander saw that the gunfire from the vanguard had stopped and stopped advancing. Instead, he looked for favorable terrain to avoid the strafing and bombing of the devil troops' planes on the one hand, and to block the devil troops' attack on the other.

The soldiers of the first and second battalions of the Gui-Yunnan Front and the Yunnan Army did not continue to attack the Japanese follow-up troops. Instead, they built fortifications and prepared to attack the Japanese again tomorrow.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the Third Battalion of the First Regiment of the Third Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army also arrived at the battle site.

The regiment commander made a simple allocation of combat tasks for tomorrow.

The commander of a battalion of the Yunnan Army also requested to participate in the battle to retake the Nanxi Town they had lost.

The commander of the second battalion of the Yunnan Army also requested to participate in the battle. After they were transferred to the first battalion, Commander Huang of the 1077th Regiment did not ask them to return to their unit.

The commander of the first regiment arranged for the commander of the second battalion of the Yunnan Army to hold the position captured today. The commander of the first battalion followed them as a reserve force for the first battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

The commander of a battalion of the Yunnan Army originally wanted to take charge of the attack, but the commander of a regiment had already made arrangements, so he was no longer picky.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, before daybreak, the commander of a regiment launched a counterattack against the Japanese 55th Brigade.
