Devil's Army

In order to break through the Japanese defense line as quickly as possible, the commander of the first regiment dispatched the tank company stationed in Jining County and part of the soldiers of the second battalion to reinforce.

When the majestic "Qukou" tank rumbled through the roads of Jining County, it attracted many citizens to watch, including Japanese scouts.

They quickly sent the news that the tanks and part of the troops of the Jining County Devil Force had been transferred to the cavalry battalion commander.

In the battle in Liangcheng County, the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Detachment was suppressed by the Japanese army.

Insufficient infantry, cavalry used to fight positional warfare, which was also the helpless move of Captain Yao. In addition to the troops of the First Anti-Japanese Army, there were only his 120th Division Cavalry Detachment and the infantry battalion that had been carried to the present, and no other troops.

He didn't know whether the First Anti-Japanese Army would fully support him, but until he received orders from above, he had to do his best to defend Liangcheng County.

The firepower of the Japanese army was much more ferocious than that of the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Detachment.

After the major's infantry launched three consecutive charges and failed, he ordered the artillery to launch a plowing-like bombardment on the walls of Liangcheng County.

The dense artillery fire plowed through the walls and gates of the north gate of Liangcheng County, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers guarding the city walls suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese infantry launched an attack on Liangcheng County in advance before the artillery bombing completely stopped.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers, whose firepower had suddenly decreased, had no way to resist the fierce attack of the Japanese army.

They finally broke through the city gate of Liangcheng County and continued to advance deep into Liangcheng County.

The Eighth Route Army retreated to the streets and engaged in brutal street fighting with the Japanese army.

At this time, the tank company of the second battalion, which came to reinforce, fiercely bombarded the Japanese mortar positions. The soldiers of the second battalion also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions.

The Japanese army lacked powerful weapons to fight tanks and was forced to retreat step by step by the attacks of the tank companies.

The Japanese artillery then launched a fierce bombardment on the tank company.

The "Qukou" tank at the front of the charge was hit by two grenades in succession, and the tank was directly blown into a pile of scrap metal.

The fierce bombardment of Japanese artillery curbed the charge of the Second Battalion.

Fortunately, the First Army's Xinjing Air Force arrived in time.

The Japanese artillery was afraid of being attacked by air, so they stopped firing and hid.

The tank company of the first regiment and the soldiers of the second battalion were able to continue their rapid advance.

The tank company of the first regiment and the soldiers of the second battalion suddenly thrust into the north gate of Liangcheng County like a sharp knife, dividing the Japanese troops that had entered Liangcheng County and the Japanese reinforcements that were preparing to enter the city into two.

The two tanks, with the cooperation of some soldiers from the second battalion, broke into Liangcheng County and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese soldiers from behind.

The other tanks, with the cooperation of other soldiers from the Second Battalion, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese follow-up troops.

The First Army's planes were patrolling in the sky. The Japanese army did not dare to use artillery and was defeated by the First Regiment's tank company.

The worst thing was that the Japanese and puppet troops who rushed into the city were completely annihilated by the pincer attack from two tanks, the soldiers of the Second Battalion and the Cavalry Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

When Captain Yao saw that the Second Battalion of the First Anti-Japanese Army helped them defend Liangcheng County, he had no time to thank him. He immediately arranged for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and re-consolidate the fortifications to prevent a counterattack by the Japanese army.

The First Army's air force continued to strafe and bomb the retreating Japanese and puppet troops in the air.

Due to the appearance of the tank company and soldiers of the Devil's Army, the major's battle to occupy Liangcheng County failed. However, their cavalry captain brought him good news.

The major immediately ordered the troops to turn to Jining County via the mountain road.
