Devil's Army

Just as the Japanese troops at the pass were struggling to resist the two-pronged attack from the Third and First Battalions, the Second Company of the First Battalion also joined the battle.

The sudden increase in firepower made the Japanese army feel desperate. But they had no choice but to continue to resist to the end.

What made the Japanese army even more speechless was that the puppet army became stupid teammates, simply laid down their weapons and refused to resist.

In the end, all the Japanese troops in the pass positions were wiped out.

The surrendered puppet troops were escorted back to Xinghe County by soldiers from the third battalion.

The battalion commander also arranged people to guard this dangerous pass.

At this time, the only Japanese and puppet troops left in the entire Shangdu County were this one unit on the Yanghe River Valley Highlands.

After the Japanese and puppet troops had eliminated the positions at the pass, the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion, most of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion, and the 2nd Company also rushed to the high ground in the Yanghe River Valley.

At this time, the Fourth Company of the Third Battalion, which lacked artillery, was still blocking the road leading to the high ground in the Yanghe River Valley and confronting the Japanese army.

In order to reduce casualties, the troops that arrived did not launch an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops on the Yanghe River Valley Highlands. Instead, they cooperated with the Fourth Company of the Third Battalion to blockade this group of Japanese and puppet troops.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the high ground in the Yanghe River Valley also lost their chance to escape due to the arrival of a follow-up regiment.

The three battalions and four companies of the first battalion set up a guard post every three steps and a sentry post every five steps, surrounding the high ground in the Yanghe River Valley without any escape.

The Japanese lieutenant stationed on the high ground in the Yanghe River Valley certainly knew what the consequences would be if he continued to hold on.

On the one hand, he asked his superiors for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he considered how to retreat. However, the radio station of the Shangdu County Command had no response. He could only ask for help from a higher level.

The nearest reinforcements to Shangdu County are from Zhuozi County, but they are now surrounded by two battalions of the Devil's Army, who are ready to attack at any time. How can they send troops to support Shangdu County?

If they send too few troops, the devil troops will attack the reinforcements on the way. If they send too many troops, they will not be able to protect Zhuozi County.

Considering that Shangdu County had already fallen, Commander Amakasu Shigeshige finally decided to abandon the Japanese troops on the Yanghe River Valley Heights.

He called them back and asked them to look for an opportunity to break out.

The lieutenant had already anticipated this result.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the lieutenant ordered the puppet army to break out to the east. If they could break through the eastern defense line of the devil troops, they could enter Huade County.

The lieutenant led the remaining Japanese troops to break out from the north and then took a detour into Zhuozi County.

After the breakout battle started, the puppet army, which had a weak fighting will, gave the lieutenant a big surprise and all of them surrendered.

In this way, the lieutenant's plan was exposed and he was surrounded by a group of soldiers.

The lieutenant sensed something was wrong, it was too quiet, but it was too late.

Soldiers from the first and third battalions of the first regiment successively launched attacks on the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

Without the cover of the terrain advantage, all the Japanese troops in the encirclement were quickly wiped out.

At this point, the entire Shangdu County was recovered.

After retaking Shangdu County, the commander of a regiment began to concentrate his forces in Huaide County, the last county in the southern part of Ulanqab City.

At this time, the Japanese troops in Zhuozi County were unable to withstand the harassment from the devil troops and went out of the city to attack the second battalion at the east gate and south gate.

The Japanese major originally thought that this would be a bloody battle, but who knew that the Second Battalion retreated immediately after they engaged in a firefight with the devil's troops.

The Japanese troops in Zhuozi County quickly occupied the positions outside the east and south gates of the Second Battalion.

At this time, the Japanese lieutenant colonel discovered that many of the devil troops' positions were dummies. The devil troops attacking their Zhuozi County were far less than the strength of a regiment.

But at this time, Shangdu County had been occupied by the devil's troops.
