Devil's Army

The second company commander shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

The fourth battalion commander ordered the soldiers to speed up their march and check the situation.

The soldiers of the Second Company of the Fourth Battalion quickly arrived in Guyuan County and were delighted when they saw the scene.

It turned out that the soldiers of their Fifth Brigade were attacking Guyuan County.

The second company commander was about to ask his soldiers to join the attack on Guyuan County, but was stopped by the first battalion commander of the fifth brigade. He smiled and said:

"Do we need soldiers from both brigades to attack this small place?"

"Okay, you guys fight, and we'll wait in the back to reap the fruits of victory."

"You guys have reached Hebei Province so quickly?"

"We just took over Kangbao County yesterday, and today we are going to take over Guyuan County and merge it with the base of your Fifth Brigade. By the way, how much of Zhangjiakou City has been recovered?"

“We fought our way from Rehe Province and only recovered Chicheng County, Chongbei County and Zhangbei County in Zhangjiakou.”

"Now we have recovered Guyuan County, and we have already recovered Kangbao County. In this way, we have recovered all five counties in the north of Zhangjiakou."

"I heard from our regiment leader that we will continue to move south to recover the entire six districts and ten counties of Zhangjiakou City, and advance to Baoding and Beiping."

"Our regiment commander said that we will soon head north to retake the remaining four banners in Ulanqab City. However, the Japanese have gathered a large number of troops in Zhuozi County, and we are currently short of manpower."

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the 5th Brigade successfully recaptured Guyuan County.

Soldiers from the 4th Battalion of the 12th Brigade also followed into Guyuan County.

The soldiers from the two brigades, whether they knew each other or not, happily chatted with each other.

I was always a little excited to meet my former comrades in a foreign land. But this little excitement was soon interrupted by the head of the regiment.

The commander of the first regiment asked the first battalion to connect the three links of Huade County, Kangbao County and Taipusi Banner. The other troops immediately returned to Jining County to provide support.

The Japanese troops in Zhuozi County have broken through the defense line of the second battalion's corner position.

The Second Battalion and the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Detachment have retreated to Jining County.

The commander of the first regiment has already led the third and part of the fourth battalion to Jining County.

After receiving the telegram, the commander of the fourth battalion immediately said goodbye to the commander of the first battalion of the fifth brigade and rushed to Jining County with the first and second companies of the fourth battalion.

Shortly after the fourth battalion commander left, two trucks from Xinghe County, escorted by a platoon of soldiers, rushed to Kangbao County to refuel and replenish ammunition for the tank company that was about to run aground.

After the tank company refueled, the regiment commander did not let them go to reinforce Jining County.

Jining County already had two tank companies, and Huaide County was surrounded by Japanese cavalry and mobile forces.

The commander of a regiment ordered a tank company to be stationed in Kangbao County, so that it could support Huaide County to the west, and Taipusi Banner and Guyuan County to the north and east.

In Jining County, the Japanese army concentrated small mountain artillery and 100mm howitzers to fiercely bombard the First Army soldiers and Eighth Route Army cavalry on the city wall.

Almost all of the fortifications on the west gate of Jining County were destroyed by the Japanese army.

If the First Army's air force had not come to support in time and frightened off the Japanese artillery, it would have been questionable whether Jining County could be defended.

The First Army's air force dispatched a mixed squadron of fighters and bombers this time. Other air forces were bombing Harbin and surrounding Japanese fortifications.

Moreover, according to the information passed by Secretary Li, the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force in Harbin has obtained a certain number of fighter jet reinforcements from the country.

They had to be vigilant at all times against sudden attacks by the Japanese Air Force in Harbin on the Xinjing Airport.
