Devil's Army

The captain of the fourth company led the soldiers of the fourth company and walked quietly forward in the dark in the woods.

Suddenly, the fourth company commander stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, calling a halt to everyone's actions.

The Japanese infantry squadron leader also sensed something was wrong and called a halt to the operation.

After a while, the Japanese squadron leader did not notice anything unusual and continued his action.

The soldiers of the Fourth Company continued to lie there without moving.

The sound of footsteps coming from the other side became clearer and clearer.

The people who were quietly walking towards their position from the opposite woods must be the Japanese army.

The fourth company commander quickly asked everyone to cock their guns and prepare for battle.

After a while, the sound of people walking on the opposite side was heard.

With the help of the dim moonlight, the fourth company commander saw some Japanese soldiers wearing yellow skins.

"shot!"

The fourth company commander fired a shot at the nearest Japanese soldier and gave an order.

Suddenly, dense gunfire rang out all around.

The sneak attack force dispatched by the Japanese army was a squadron, and the sneak attack force dispatched by the First Army was a company.

Their troop strengths are similar, but the individual firepower of the First Army is not weaker than that of the Japanese Army, and they are also equipped with 40 rocket launchers.

After being suddenly attacked, the Japanese army wanted to organize a counterattack, but was suppressed by the machine gunners and rocket soldiers of the Fourth Company.

In the end, the Japanese sneak attack force was repelled, and the fourth company's sneak attack plan failed.

The fourth company commander led his soldiers back to the camp dejectedly and reported the battle situation to the second battalion commander.

The Second Battalion Commander handed a telegram to the Fourth Company Commander and asked:

"The commander just asked us about the situation here. Can we resist the Japanese attack tomorrow? If we can resist the Japanese attack for two days, he will take Huade County and come back to support us."

"Captain, the Japanese have more troops than us, but this road is so narrow that they can't deploy their troops. We just hold this corner. The Japanese artillery can't reach us, and we won't be able to hold out for two days."

"Tonight's battle also proves that the Japanese are planning to attack the mountain road in the woods. Arrange people to set up an ambush in the woods on both sides of this path. Report any situation immediately. We must withstand the Japanese attack for at least two days."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"What's going on? Your reinforcements can't arrive?" asked Captain Yao next to him.

"Our regiment commander is preparing to recapture Huade County and connect it with the base of the Fifth Brigade. He requires us to hold this path for two days."

"If we just hold this corner position for two days, it won't be difficult. I am worried that the Japanese army will split up to attack Liangcheng County, and then we must split up to support Liangcheng County."

"Place scouts on the road leading to Liangcheng County. If the Japanese army really divides its forces to attack Liangcheng County, I will request the aviation force to come to reinforce."

"This is the only way we can do now." After saying this, Captain Yao left the command center and arranged for the scouts to go back and keep an eye on whether the Japanese troops in Zhuozi County would split up to attack Liangcheng County.

The squadron leader's sneak attack failed and he fled back in disgrace.

By this time, the major already knew that the remaining main force of their cavalry battalion stationed in the Jining County military camp had engaged in a fierce battle with the cavalry detachment of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Only the captain and eleven cavalrymen of the cavalry battalion escaped back to the Chahar Right Wing Rear Banner. The captain was also seriously injured.

Recalling today's battle, the major thought that this road was too narrow for his troops to deploy, and it would not pose much of a threat to the Devil's troops.

He decided to let the deputy captain lead half of the troops to attack Liangcheng County tomorrow.
