Devil's Army

The Japanese captain immediately gave up the siege and attacked the encircling battalion at full speed.

Soon, the Japanese army broke out from the defense line of the Second Regiment, which had not yet been encircled. However, some Japanese troops who were fighting with the 52rd Regiment of the 73nd Army of the government army were unable to withdraw.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army, who had repelled the Japanese army, quickly rushed into the city and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops entering the city from behind.

The regiment commander also led his second and third battalions to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army from the front.

The more than 100 Japanese soldiers in the city were unable to withstand the double-pronged attack from the Gui-Yunnan Front Army and the 52nd Army of the government army and were all wiped out.

After destroying more than 100 Japanese soldiers in the city, the second battalion commander handed over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to the soldiers of the 73rd Regiment, and drove them out of the city together with the first and third battalions of their second regiment to continue pursuing the retreating Japanese troops.

When the fierce Japanese Guards Mixed Brigade was retreating, they did not forget to leave behind a rear guard force to block the pursuit of the Second Regiment.

While the Second Regiment was engaged in a fierce battle with his rear guard, the First Japanese Army withdrew to Tianbao Town, Mali Town and Donggan Town.

The first battalion arrived at the vicinity of Mali Town first, stationed there and prepared to attack the city.

Subsequently, the third battalion also rushed to the vicinity of Tianbao Town and Donggan Town, preparing to attack the city.

At this time, Captain Huang of the 73rd Regiment also rushed to the headquarters of the nd Regiment with the rd Battalion.

As soon as Captain Huang saw the Second Captain, he saluted and said:

"Hello, I am Huang Youlong, the commander of the 52rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the 73nd Army of the Nanjing Government Army."

"Hello, I am Liu Yonglu, the commander of the 34nd Regiment of the rd Independent Division of the First Anti-Japanese Army of the Gui-Yunnan Front." The commander immediately returned the greeting.

"Thank you for your help."

"Fighting the devils is our Chinese soldiers' job. There is no question of helping them."

"Captain Liu plans to capture those towns tomorrow?"

"Yes, we are marching lightly and without heavy artillery, so it is not easy for us to attack the city. We will attack the city tomorrow morning with the support of aircraft."

Captain Huang nodded. Their regiment did not have any heavy artillery, otherwise they could repay the Guizhou-Yunnan Front Army for a favor.

"Captain Huang, does your regiment have any soldiers who are familiar with the conditions in these towns?"

"Yes, what's going on? Captain Liu is planning a night attack?"

"I have this plan."

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange for soldiers who are familiar with the conditions in these towns to come over and take them down together."

After saying goodbye to Captain Huang and Captain Liu, they immediately returned to the troops and asked the third battalion commander to call over the soldiers who were familiar with Tianbao Town, Mali Town and Donggan Town.

After a while, four soldiers led by Captain Huang arrived at the headquarters of the Second Regiment of the Gui-Yunnan Front Army.

"Captain Liu, the four of them are more familiar with these three towns. Tell them what arrangements you have."

When they arrived at the headquarters of the First and Second Regiment, Captain Huang immediately introduced them to Captain Liu.

"Can you please introduce yourselves? Which town are you familiar with?"

"Captain, Li Dajun and I are from Mali Town and are familiar with it. We have also been to the other two towns and are not unfamiliar with them."

"Captain, my name is He Liuwa. Before I joined the army, I lived in Hejiawan next to Donggan Town. I am familiar with Donggan Town."

"Captain, my name is He Chujun. Before I joined the army, I went up the mountain with my grandfather to collect herbs and sold them to the pharmacies in the town. So I am familiar with all three towns."

"He Chujun?"

"exist!"

"Are you familiar with all three towns?"

"They are all familiar."

So you think it would be better if we raid that town tonight? &34;

"The walls of Donggan Town are relatively high, and there is only one main street in the town. It would be difficult for our soldiers to hide if they sneak into the town."
