Devil's Army

Just as the Second Battalion was using its flesh and blood to build fortifications to resist the Japanese attack, the Japanese artillery fire suddenly stopped.

"The Japanese infantry is about to attack. Is anyone breathing? If you are breathing, get up quickly."

The second battalion commander shouted loudly towards the fortifications.

Soon, the soldiers of the Second Battalion, with bricks and dust all over their heads and bodies, crawled out of the ruins one after another, lay on the fortifications, and prepared for the next battle.

The guard next to the second battalion commander patted the dust off his shoulders and cursed:

"Battalion Commander, why do these Japanese have so many artillery shells?"

The second battalion commander did not speak. If their troops had such powerful firepower, the Japs would have driven them out of the Yunnan border long ago.

What surprised the second battalion commander was that the Japanese artillery had stopped bombing for some time, and he had not seen any Japanese infantry rushing up. Moreover, he vaguely heard gunshots and explosions coming from the direction of the Japanese artillery positions.

"Could it be that reinforcements from the 52nd Army have come to attack the Japanese artillery positions? Didn't the regiment commander say that friendly forces are heading this way?" The second battalion commander wondered doubtfully.

The team leader also looked confused.

The division commander gave him the task of defending the county seat of Malipo. He did not ask for help from the division headquarters, so how could the division commander send reinforcements?

Moreover, even if the division headquarters sent reinforcements, they would most likely enter the city from the south gate of Malipo County instead of outflanking the Japanese artillery positions from the outside.

Because with their current firepower configuration, if they outflank the Japanese artillery positions, they will most likely be counterattacked by the Japanese.

The sound became clearer and clearer. It was indeed the sound of gunfire and explosions coming from the Japanese artillery positions.

The regiment commander walked to the roof of a three-story building at the front line and looked in the direction of the explosion of the Japanese artillery position.

The two guards who followed him nervously kept holding the captain's body down from time to time, for fear that he would be shot.

The leader smiled and pushed them away and said:

"What are you afraid of? I have a strong life. It's not easy for the devils to take it away."

Due to the far distance, the team leader looked around for a while but didn't see anything.

Just as the regiment commander was about to go downstairs in disappointment, fierce gunfire was heard on both sides outside the city of Malipo County.

There was no doubt that reinforcements had come to support them, but which troops were they? The regiment commander was not sure.

"Commander, look! Reinforcements are coming from the Guizhou-Yunnan Front Army!" A guard pointed excitedly at the troops on the right that were attacking the Japanese army and shouted to the commander.

At this time, the regiment commander also saw the troops on the right wearing khaki clothes and attacking the Japanese army fiercely.

There is no doubt that it was this Gui-Yunnan Front Army that attacked the Japanese artillery positions.

With the reinforcement of the Guizhou-Yunnan Front Army, defeating the Japanese army is just around the corner.

The regiment commander ordered his troops to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops that had invaded the county seat of Malipo.

Outside Malipo County, the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Third Independent Division of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army were like two machetes, reaping the lives of the Japanese troops defending on the left and right wings.

The Japanese troops defending the two wings of Malipo County retreated step by step under the fierce attack of the two battalions of soldiers from the Second Regiment.

At this time, the first battalion that had launched a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery position also succeeded and was launching an attack on the Japanese siege troops from the rear.

The Japanese Guards Mixed Brigade siege battalion was surrounded by a regiment of the devil's troops. If they were not careful, the lives of the entire team would be in danger.

The brigade commander also knew that a regiment of the Devil's Army had come to reinforce and was surrounding his infantry battalion that was attacking the city. On the one hand, he arranged for the follow-up troops to attack the Devil's Army, and on the other hand, he ordered the attacking troops to withdraw immediately.
