Devil's Army

The soldiers of the Third Battalion piled up all the confiscated guns and ammunition, handed them over to the Eighth Route Army, and then quickly retreated.

The Eighth Route Army cavalry squad leader quickly ordered the soldiers to tie the captured weapons and ammunition to the backs of the horses and then quickly evacuate the battlefield.

When the large Japanese army arrived in Zhuozi County, the path was littered with the bodies of their imperial soldiers and puppet soldiers, and there was only wisps of rising smoke.

This joint attack by the Third Battalion and the Eighth Route Army Cavalry sounded the alarm for the Japanese commander.

From the last joint action of the devil troops and the Eighth Route Army cavalry to attack their Chahar Right Front Banner, to this ambush in Zhuozi County, it shows that the joint operations of the devil troops and the Eighth Route Army have become more mature.

Moreover, according to their intelligence, the strength of the Suiyuan Province Devil Forces was far more than the two companies that ambushed them this time.

In Jining County, Suiyuan Province, Chahar Right Front Banner and Xinghe County, there are garrisons of the Devil's Army, with a total force of about one regiment.

If they rashly launched an attack on Liangcheng County, and the devil troops concentrated their forces to attack their Zhuozi County, the consequences would be disastrous.

What's more, the devil troops have a powerful air force to back them up and a ferocious tank battalion as the vanguard.

The Japanese major who was commanding this battle had lost his confidence, but Commander Amakasu Shige sent an inopportune telegram at this time to ask about the preparations for the attack on Liangcheng County.

The major had to exaggerate the facts and report to Commander Amakasu Shigeki that their garrison in Zhuozi County was ambushed by two battalions of the Eighth Route Army Cavalry and the Devil Forces one morning, causing heavy casualties.

The major originally thought that Commander Amakasu Shige would be worried about the safety of Zhuozi County and ordered him to cancel the attack on Liangcheng County.

Who knew that Commander Amakasu Shigeki ordered him to speed up preparations and capture Liangcheng County as soon as possible.

Because just now, Commander Mizujiro Umezu called to ask about the occupation situation of various counties in Suiyuan Province.

Commander Amakasu Shigeki has been put into the fire and has no way out.

The next afternoon, the Eighth Route Army's liaison officer in Zhuozis County brought intelligence to Captain Yao: Japanese troops from Chahar Right Middle Banner and Chahar Right Rear Banner were still gathering in Zhuozis County.

Captain Yao immediately shared the information with the head of the regiment.

Considering that the Japanese army was a vengeful force, the commander of a regiment felt that the Japanese army's attack on Liangcheng County would not last too long.

Now the mountain road from Chahar Right Front Banner to Liangcheng County has been basically opened, with only the section from the foot of the mountain to Liangcheng County remaining to be paved.

The regiment commander directly arranged two tanks to clear the road, and the soldiers followed behind to clean up the loosened soil.

In this way, the road paving project that originally took at least three days to complete was completed in less than one day.

During this time, a Japanese army from Fengzhen City came to attack the soldiers of the First Army, but was frightened by the roar of the tanks and did not dare to act.

They didn't know that as soon as they showed up, they had been discovered by the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

The second battalion commander immediately mobilized troops to encircle and destroy the Japanese ambush force from both wings.

Unexpectedly, the encirclement had not yet been formed, and the Japanese troops did not dare to take action and retreated back to Fengzhen City.

The commander of the first regiment called the section of road from Chahar Right Front Banner to Liangcheng County the Victory Road, and arranged for the first and second companies of the second battalion to garrison at both ends of the mountain road.

This can not only ensure the smooth flow of mountain roads, but also provide support to the Eighth Route Army cavalry in Liangcheng County.
