Devil's Army

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall were caught in a sudden attack and were in a panic, but they soon stabilized and fought back from behind the parapets.

A group of Japanese soldiers tried to rush to the city gate and close it, but they were shot by the disguised soldiers and fell to the ground one after another.

The machine gunners of the third battalion continued to suppress the machine gun fire points of the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall.

With the cooperation of machine gunners, the infantry continued to approach the city gate.

The Japanese army forced the puppet troops to continuously go up the city walls to block the attack of the Third Battalion, and at the same time arranged for the Japanese army to go up the city walls from time to time to replenish their troops.

The mortar soldiers of the third battalion continued to bombard the follow-up troops of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, making it increasingly difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall to obtain follow-up support.

Finally, nearly a squad of soldiers rushed to the gate of the city wall despite the resistance of the Japanese and puppet troops, and cooperated with the camouflaged soldiers to shoot at the Japanese troops inside the city wall.

As more and more soldiers from the Third Battalion rushed to the city gate, the pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops in the city grew.

Two 40 rocket soldiers from the third battalion successively destroyed two machine gun fire points that were blocking the Japanese troops in the city.

The soldiers of the third battalion jumped up and rushed into the city of Shangdu. Then they split into two groups, one group shot at the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall, and the other group continued to chase the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall were attacked from both sides by the third battalion of soldiers and had to divide their forces to block the third battalion of soldiers in the city.

The soldiers of the third battalion outside the city gate took advantage of the weakening of the Japanese resistance on the city wall and rushed into the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Shangdu County could not resist and began to retreat.

The soldiers of the third battalion adopted a duck-herding mode and drove the Japanese and puppet troops in Shangdu County all the way out of the county.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Shangdu County fled to Huade County from the east gate of Shangdu County.

Unexpectedly, the second battalion commander led his soldiers to make a circle and had already ambushed on the road to Huade County.

The defeated Japanese and puppet troops came to the small road to Huade County in a dejected manner.

At this time, fierce gunfire rang out from the sorghum bushes on both sides of the path.

The Japanese army forced the puppet troops to break through the blockade line of the Second Battalion, but they were met with fierce fire from a heavy machine gun and a light machine gun in front.

The soldiers from the third battalion also chased after them from behind.

The desperate puppet troops laid down their weapons and surrendered. The remaining Japanese troops still wanted to resist stubbornly, but were killed one by one by a regiment of soldiers.

Two companies of the third battalion cleared out the remaining Japanese and puppet army strongholds in the towns and villages around Shangdu County. The second battalion commander led three companies into Huade County.

Before the second battalion commander reached the outskirts of Huade County, he heard fierce gunfire coming from the left.

The second battalion commander immediately ordered the first company commander to send someone to check the situation, and other troops to be on alert and ready to provide reinforcements at any time.

Who knew that before the scouts sent by the company commander to conduct reconnaissance returned, fierce gunfire was heard again from the southwest of Shangdu County.

The second battalion commander immediately asked the second company commander to arrange people to investigate the situation.

The company commander's scout quickly came back and reported to the second battalion commander: there was a Japanese army fighting with a cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army ahead.

The Eighth Route Army's cavalry was smaller in strength and was surrounded and attacked by the Japanese army.

The second battalion commander immediately asked the first company commander to send troops to support the Eighth Route Army's cavalry from behind.

In order to destroy this small cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of machine gunners and mortars to fiercely bomb and strafed the Eighth Route Army cavalry from three sides.

Suddenly a force attacked them fiercely from their west.

The Japanese encirclement was torn open by a fierce firepower.

A small cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army quickly rode out through this gap.
