Devil's Army

The most advantageous weapon for attacking the Chahar Right Front Banner was of course their tank battalion. But the movement of tanks was too loud, so how could they engage the enemy secretly?

The battalion commander thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea, so he could only send a telegram to the regiment commander for help.

After listening to the plan of the battalion commander, the regiment commander thought for a moment and replied:

"Let the Air Force fly at very low altitudes and make noise to cooperate with you!"

The commander of a regiment sent a telegram to Deputy Commander Xu at the Xinjing Airport through Brigade Commander Du, asking whether the air force could lend a helping hand to their second battalion.

This operation required the pilots to take out at night and fly at ultra-low altitude to an area they had never been to before. The operation was difficult and very dangerous.

Deputy Captain Xu did not give everyone a strict order, but asked everyone to sign up voluntarily because this was also a good opportunity for everyone to train for a night raid.

The pilots signed up enthusiastically, and Deputy Commander Xu selected five pilots to carry out this plan.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, the soldiers of the second company of the tank battalion set out.

They drove the tanks to within ten kilometers of Chahar Right Front Banner, turned off the engines, and lay quietly there.

The soldiers of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion, which was responsible for the main attack, tightly surrounded the 2nd Tank Company.

At eight o'clock in the evening, five H-2 bombers roared towards Chahar Right Front Banner.

The Japanese troops in the Chahar Right Front Banner were attracted by the roar of the plane. They didn't know whether it was the plane of the devil's army or their own.

The pilots flew back and forth from the Chahar Right Front Banner at a very low altitude, but they did not dare to drop bombs because they could not tell where the Japanese troops were and where their compatriots were on the ground.

While the Japanese army's attention was all attracted by the five bombers of the First Army Air Force, the Second Tank Company continued to advance towards Chaha Right Front Banner.

When the Second Tank Company arrived at the border of Chahar Right Front Banner, the Japanese defense forces finally became alert.

They could faintly hear the sound of a large truck's engine.

The sentry immediately reported to the Japanese commander.

At this time, the plane happened to pass not far above their heads.

The huge roar of the bombers drowned out other sounds on the ground.

Before the Japanese commander could make a decision, four tanks from the 2nd Tank Company, which served as the vanguard, had appeared in front of their position.

In order to prevent the Jining County's devil troops from launching a surprise attack on them, the Japanese army deployed a large number of fortifications along the border.

However, this time, the large number of fortifications built by the Japanese army had not yet come into play, and the tanks of the Devil's Army had already rushed to the front.

The 100mm short-barreled guns of the Second Tank Company kept bombarding the Japanese fortifications in front of them.

Some Japanese soldiers attempted to die together with the tanks of the Second Company while holding on to their explosive packs, but they were either shot at by the tank machine guns or killed by the guard troops next to the tanks.

In less than half an hour, the border fortifications that the Japanese army had spent a lot of effort to build were broken through by the First Army's tanks.

The Japanese army was forced to retreat deep into the Chahar Right Front Banner.

Under the cover of tanks, the second company of the first battalion also broke through the Japanese army's Chahar Right Front Banner border fortifications and continued to advance in depth.

At this time, the captain of the Japanese army in the Chahar Right Front Banner finally understood that the attack of the Devil Force bombers was a feint, and its purpose was to cover the attack of the ground tank forces.

But it would be of little use even if he knew it, because their infantry lacked weapons to attack tanks.
