Devil's Army

While Captain Hu was still studying the map about which route to take to attack Harbin, Wang Zhuangfei gave him an order to lead his troops to recapture Sanchahe Town.

Sanchahe Town is the seat of the government of Fuyu City, Songyuan City, Jilin Province. It is located in Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, and at the junction of three cities and one county: Songyuan, Dehui, Yushu and Shuangcheng.

It is an important commercial port in northern Jilin Province. Historically, it has been a distribution center for industrial products and agricultural and sideline products from Fuyu, Shuangcheng, Yushu, Dehui and other counties.

The Japanese army stationed two infantry squadrons and more than 500 Manchukuo security forces there.

Because the Japanese army and the First Front Army of the First Anti-Japanese Army had heavy combat tasks during this period, the Japanese army actually captured more than 20 women from nearby villages and took them to Sanchahe Town to serve as comfort women.

Some villagers ran to Xinjing and asked for help from Brigade Commander Wang Zhuangfei.

Since the Japanese army had hostages, they were worried that they would kill them, so Captain Hu decided to take them by surprise.

He first asked the Army Aviation soldiers to fly a Golden Eagle IV drone to observe the movements of the Japanese army over Sanchahe Town, and to deliver weapons and ammunition to the commandos who had sneaked into the city.

Now that a major battle between the Japanese Army and their First Anti-Japanese Army is imminent, the Japanese Army's defense in Sanchahe Town is quite tight.

After half a day, Captain Hu was able to sneak in 28 commandos.

We can't wait any longer. If we don't take action by night, these women will definitely be tortured by the Japanese.

Captain Hu decided that these 28 commandos, with the cooperation of the golden eagle, would protect the more than 20 women locked in the house.

He led a troop to attack from the main gate to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

In addition, the troops were arranged to look for opportunities to climb over the city wall from the flank and enter the city, and the commandos would meet up to rescue the women in the house.

While the Japanese soldiers on the city wall were still discussing tonight's decompression operation with relish, a round of mortar shells suddenly exploded on their city wall without any warning.

Many Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded in the explosion. Others quickly hid behind the battlements and looked nervously outside the city wall.

At this time, the first battalion of the direct regiment had arrived outside the gate of Sanchahe Town and was ready to attack.

As soon as the mortar bombardment stopped, the soldiers of the first battalion launched a fierce charge on Sanchahe Town under the cover of machine gunners.

The Japanese army hurriedly opened fire to block the attack, and the Japanese troops in the city also hurried over to reinforce.

When the First Battalion launched an attack on Sanchahe Town from the main gate, the First and Second Companies of the Second Battalion, led by two villagers familiar with the local situation, were circling around both sides of Sanchahe Town, looking for places with weak Japanese defenses to climb over the city walls.

Since the fighting at the city gate had just begun, there were still many Japanese soldiers around the city wall, and they all hurried to the city gate where the fighting was taking place.

After a while, the first and second companies each found a part of the city wall where there were fewer Japanese soldiers and began to climb up the wall by throwing ropes.

During the attack, the first battalion encountered fierce resistance from the Japanese and puppet troops in Sanchahe Town, suffered heavy casualties, and therefore withdrew.

However, the First Battalion did not evacuate the main gate of Sanchahe Town, nor did it rush to attack. Instead, it fired at the Japanese army across the city wall.

The mortar troops frequently bombarded the Japanese machine gun fire points on the city walls, causing the Japanese army a lot of headaches.

The Japanese commander in Sanchahe Town organized soldiers to block the attack of the devil troops while asking for help from his superiors in Harbin.

The fall of Wujia Town made the Japanese commander in Harbin extremely angry.

Now Sanchahe Town, an important town in the south of Harbin, was attacked by the devil's troops again. The Japanese commander did not hesitate and immediately sent reinforcements.
