Devil's Army

Under the all-out attack of the Second Battalion, the Japanese army finally collapsed and withdrew from Linxi County.

After the two companies of the second deputy battalion commander assisted the third company in retaking Linxi County, they prepared to withdraw to Weichang County.

At this time, the signalman conveyed an order from the regiment commander:

I will order you to chase the Japanese army into Xing'an Province from the third and fourth companies of the second battalion, and seize Daxingxi County. This will create a wedge for the large army to retake Xing'an Province.

The second deputy battalion commander immediately led the third and fourth companies to continue pursuing the fleeing Japanese troops.

The fleeing Japanese army fought and retreated, and finally retreated into Daxingxi County.

At this time, the second battalion commander had already led the soldiers of the first and second companies to launch a fierce attack on Daxingxi County from the west gate.

The second deputy battalion commander immediately led the soldiers of the third and fourth companies to launch a fierce attack on the south gate of Daxingxi County.

At this time, pilots from the First Army in Jinzhou were also ordered to fly over to bomb and strafe the Japanese and puppet troops in Daxingxi County.

The Japanese troops who retreated to Daxingxi County were already in low spirits. Now they were bombed and strafed by the First Army's aircraft, and their morale was even lower.

After the First Army pilots stopped the air raid, the Second Battalion Commander and the Second Deputy Battalion Commander immediately stepped up their attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in Daxingxi County.

Finally, under the accurate attack of two rockets, the west gate of Daxingxi County was blasted open.

Soldiers from the first and second companies rushed into the city and opened fire on the Japanese troops on the city walls and inside the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops at the west gate of Daxingxi County and in the city finally could not hold out and retreated deep into Daxingxi County.

Soon, the second deputy battalion commander led soldiers from the third and fourth companies and broke through the Japanese army's defense line at the south gate of Daxingxi County.

Soon, Japanese and puppet troops from Liquan County, Xing'an South Province, Al Horqin Banner, Zhalute Banner, Balin Left Banner, Balin Right Banner and other places rushed to reinforce.

They want to keep the devil's troops out of Xing'an Province.

(Note: The puppet Manchukuo adjusted the administrative divisions of the Xing'an region many times, and used the banner (Mongolian-populated area) as the main administrative unit. These areas were all Chinese territories in history. The administrative divisions of the puppet Manchukuo were the product of colonial rule during the Japanese invasion of China and were illegal.

The Nanjing government and the First Anti-Japanese Army never recognized the several regions of Xing'an Province divided by the puppet Manchukuo.)

The Japanese and puppet troops from various counties in South Xing'an Province launched a fierce attack on the first and second companies of the second battalion commander and the third and fourth companies of the second deputy battalion commander from inside and outside Daxingxi County.

At this time, the First Army Air Force, which still had air superiority, launched fierce bombing and strafing on the Japanese reinforcements.

With the full support of the aviation force, the second battalion commander and his deputy battalion commander temporarily withstood the fierce counterattack of the Japanese and puppet army reinforcements. However, the casualties were not optimistic.

Just when the Japanese and puppet troops were trying their best to drive the Second Battalion Commander and his men out of Xing'an Province, a regimental commander also arrived with a large force.

The artillery of the first regiment immediately launched an artillery attack on the most fiercely attacking Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops who were attacking the second battalion commander and the second deputy battalion commander with all their might were suddenly hit by heavy artillery fire, and their formation was in chaos.

The offensive momentum of the Japanese reinforcements was halted.

After the artillery of the First Regiment stopped bombing, part of the soldiers from the Third Battalion and part of the Fourth Battalion, who arrived with the commander of the First Regiment, immediately entered Daxing West County from the west gate and south gate of Daxing West County and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese reinforcements.

At the same time, another unit of the Third Battalion and another unit of the Fourth Battalion launched a counter-encirclement against the Japanese and puppet army reinforcements outside the city who were attempting to encircle and annihilate the Second Battalion.

In the end, the Japanese and puppet troops retreated under the full-scale attack of the 1st Regiment of the 5th Brigade and the Air Force.
