Devil's Army

The Fourth Brigade arrived at the outskirts of Mishazi Town, more than 40 miles away from Xinjing.

The Japanese troops here were only the size of a squadron, and the 4th Brigade recaptured Mishazi Town without much difficulty.

The main force was stationed in Mishazi Town, waiting for Leng Feng's order to attack Xinjing.

At this time, the first company of the 7th Brigade was still blocked at Gongzhuling.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade heard that the Fourth Brigade had already conquered Fanjiatun and was currently stationed in Mishazi Town. He was extremely anxious and asked Leng Feng to send out the "Kuaiko" tank to wipe out the Japanese defense line in Gongzhuling. But Leng Feng refused.

The "Qukai" tank is a secret trump card of the army, and Leng Feng does not want to expose it in advance in such a small place as Gongzhuling.

The Seventh Brigade is also a veteran and ace brigade of the First Army, and has tackled many tough challenges.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade mobilized the artillery of the Third Regiment and launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese positions in Gongzhuling.

All the Japanese army's surface positions and fortifications at Gongzhuling were destroyed by the artillery of the Third Regiment.

The soldiers of the first company already knew that their brother troops of the Fourth Brigade had broken through the Japanese Fanjiatun position and entered Mishazi Town. They were also very anxious.

They started to move towards Gongzhuling before the artillery stopped bombarding the Japanese positions.

As soon as the Third Regiment's shelling stopped, the soldiers of the First Company shouted and jumped up, rushing towards the Japanese Gongzhuling position.

The Japanese commander hastily organized his soldiers to stop the attack of the first company. But it was too late.

A company of soldiers jumped into the Japanese position and engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

After a fierce battle, the company of the 3rd Regiment of the 7th Brigade captured the Japanese position at Gongzhuling.

The third regiment commander did not let the soldiers rest and continued to advance towards Xinjing.

The 3rd Regiment of the 7th Brigade arrived at Lanjia Town, which is adjacent to Mishazi Town in the south.

There were not many Japanese and puppet troops in Lanjia Town. The three regiments were divided into three routes and launched an attack on the three gates of Lanjia Town at the same time.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the 3rd Regiment of the 7th Brigade also recaptured Lanjia Town and stationed in Lanjia Town, waiting for Leng Feng's order to attack Xinjing.

In the evening, Leng Feng arrived in Siping City with two mobile tank companies.

He Shiqi also led a medical team composed of medical staff from Tieling County Hospital to Siping City.

The upcoming Battle of Xinjing will be fierce and brutal, and the 7th and 4th Brigades' own medical teams will certainly not be able to cope with it alone.

Before the Battle of Xinjing started, good news came from the Second Front Army of the Tangshan base.

The Second Front Army of the First Army did not concentrate its forces to attack heavily defended Beiping and Tianjin. Instead, it gathered the main forces of the 12th Brigade and the 5th Brigade and attacked deep into Rehe Province from Qinglong County, Kuancheng County, Xinglong County, and Suizhong County.

After several days of bloody fighting, the towns and villages around Chifeng City and Chengde City in Rehe Province were recovered.

Then, the 12th Brigade and the th Brigade continued to attack deep into Rehe Province. The th Brigade recaptured Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province, the day before the Battle of Xinjing was launched.

The 12th Brigade also recaptured Chifeng, an important city in Rehe Province.

The Japanese army continued to retreat deep into Rehe Province to Linxi, Keshiketeng Banner, and Wudan (now Wengniute Banner).

The 12th Brigade and the 5th Brigade of the Second Front Army of the 1st Army continued to maintain a high-pressure situation against the retreating Japanese troops, leaving a small part of the troops to garrison Chifeng and Chengde, while the main force continued to attack deep into Rehe Province and attack Chahar Province.

The next morning, the First Aviation Squadron of the First Anti-Japanese Army took the lead in launching the battle to recapture Xinjing.

Deputy Captain Xu led four fighter squadrons and two bomber squadrons of the First Air Force Brigade of the First Army, and set out from Fengtian Airport to carry out fierce strafing and bombing on the positions of the Japanese and puppet troops in Lanjia Town and Mishazi Town in Xinjing.

Clear the obstacles for the 7th and 4th Brigades to attack Xinjing.
