Devil's Army

After the Devil Force's air force returned, the Japanese infantry squadron and puppet army company that were preparing to attack Liangcheng County had suffered more than half casualties from the bombing and had lost their ability to attack.

The major had no choice but to arrange for another infantry squadron and another puppet army company to assemble and prepare for the attack.

The Japanese major didn't know that there was a Golden Eagle drone high in the sky watching every move of the Japanese and puppet troops on the ground.

Suddenly, a intensive rain of artillery shells came without warning towards the place where the Japanese and puppet troops were gathering.

The Japanese and puppet troops who were gathering initially thought that their artillery had launched another bombing on Liangcheng County.

By the time they realized that the sound of the shells was coming from the wrong direction and were about to escape, it was already too late.

Dense artillery shells fell on the place where the Japanese and puppet troops assembled. Amid a series of "boom..." explosions, the assembled Japanese and puppet troops were blown everywhere.

Subsequently, the Japanese artillery roughly calculated the artillery positions of the first regiment based on the trajectory of the artillery shells, and then launched a counterattack against the artillery positions of the first regiment.

Based on the intelligence provided by the golden eagle, the artillery of the first regiment launched a precise bombing on the Japanese artillery positions.

However, the number and caliber of the artillery of a regiment were far inferior to those of the Japanese artillery.

After a round of mutual bombardment between the two sides, the artillery of one regiment was defeated and quickly evacuated the original position with the remaining artillery.

By this time, the Japanese and puppet troops had not even seen the shadow of an Eighth Route Army soldier, and had suffered 600 to 700 casualties. The morale of the soldiers had hit rock bottom.

The Japanese major was furious when he saw the demoralized soldiers.

He ignored the soldiers' fatigue and ordered another attack.

When the Japanese deputy battalion commander once again organized a squadron of Japanese troops and a company of puppet troops, preparing to launch another attack on Liangcheng County, bursts of low roars suddenly came from the sky.

The major looked up and saw the Devil Force's pointed fighter jets flying over again.

The major quickly told the soldiers to hide and pay attention to air defense. The Japanese and puppet troops immediately became a mess.

Soon, Deputy Commander Xu and his pilots flew low over the area, firing machine guns and raining bombs. The Japanese and puppet troops fell in droves.

The major pushed away the guards who were protecting him and cursed at the gap in the fighter planes of the Devil Force in the sky like a shrew.

At this time, Deputy Captain Xu also noticed that a Japanese lieutenant was pointing at their plane and shouting something. He suddenly lowered the fighter's flying altitude and fired fiercely at the major.

A series of machine gun fire from Deputy Captain Xu's fighter plane blew away the major and the surrounding guards.

The Japanese major died before he could accomplish his mission, and he no longer had to worry about being court-martialed.

Deputy Captain Xu led the pilots to continuously strafe and bomb the Japanese and puppet troops for more than 30 minutes. The Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy casualties, and the third offensive was completely disintegrated.

The Japanese deputy captain collapsed to the ground after seeing the tragic scene.

He never imagined that during this attack on Liangcheng County, they had suffered such a heavy blow before they even saw a single Eighth Route Army soldier.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers a little further away were cheering. They firmly believed that victory in this battle to defend Liangcheng County would eventually belong to them.

The Japanese deputy battalion commander withdrew to Zhuozi County with his demoralized remnants.

The first attack on Liangcheng County ended in failure.

A few days later, Commander Amakasu Shige was promoted from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander, and his military rank was also awarded to him as a major. He was also asked to quickly eliminate the evil troops and the Eighth Route Army forces in Suiyuan Province.
