Devil's Army

After listening to the captains of the first and second squads recounting their combat missions and combat objectives, Deputy Captain Liu nodded, and then went downstairs with the captains of the first and second squads to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

The grocery store owner and his family also spent the night in trepidation, because the Japanese could go crazy at any time and break into the store in the middle of the night to search for anti-Japanese elements.

At 6 o'clock the next morning, Deputy Company Commander Liu went to the roof to observe the movements in the Japanese military police department.

There was nothing unusual about the Japanese troops in the gendarmerie.

Outside the south gate and east gate of Zhuozi County, a regiment of soldiers had quietly taken their positions, waiting for the regiment commander's order to attack.

Around 9 o'clock in the morning, the First Army's Xinjing Air Force launched the attack on Zhuozis County.

A mixed squadron of fighters and bombers from the First Army carried out fierce strafing and bombing on the Japanese city wall fortifications at the south gate and east gate of Zhuozis County.

Everyone on the street went back home.

Teams of Japanese troops lined up and ran towards the South Gate and East Gate to reinforce.

The Japanese military police department also became lively, with military police coming and going from time to time.

"Do it?"

"Wait a little longer. The Japanese in the Military Police have not been transferred out, which means the battle is not very intense yet."

After the First Army Air Force stopped bombing, the soldiers of the First Regiment began to attack the south gate and east gate of Zhuozis County at the same time.

The artillery of the regiment covered the infantry attack, but the artillery of the regiment was soon counterattacked by the Japanese artillery.

The First Army's air force flew in the direction of the Japanese artillery shells.

At this time, it was discovered that the cunning Japanese army had hidden their artillery positions inside a group of civilian houses, making it impossible to distinguish between the civilian houses and the Japanese artillery positions.

The soldiers of the regiment had no choice but to continue charging towards Zhuozi County under the cover of mortars, braving the bombardment of Japanese heavy artillery. However, the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall, under the cover of heavy artillery, continued to throw grenades and shoot at the attacking soldiers of the regiment.

The two-pronged attack of the regiment was undoubtedly repelled by the Japanese army.

At this time, another unit of the regiment also launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the wall of the west gate of Zhuozi County. However, it was also bombarded by Japanese mortars and small mountain artillery, and the attack was also blocked.

A tank company from a regiment in Jining County also drove to the east gate of Zhuozi County after replenishing fuel and ammunition.

The second tank company also drove to the south gate of Zhuozi County. However, the commander of the first regiment did not let the first and second tank companies attack the Japanese troops in Zhuozi County.

Their tanks could not withstand losses until the Japanese heavy artillery positions were destroyed.

The regiment commander personally ordered Deputy Company Commander Liu to postpone the rescue of the three captured soldiers and investigate whether there were civilians in the houses around the Japanese heavy artillery positions. If there were, try to persuade the civilians to evacuate the area around the Japanese heavy artillery positions.

When the signalman delivered the order from the regiment commander, Deputy Company Commander Liu was preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese military police.

After reading the order, Deputy Company Commander Liu immediately ordered to temporarily stop the rescue plan. He and two soldiers took the golden eagle to scout the Japanese heavy artillery position.

When Deputy Company Commander Liu and two soldiers were rushing to the place where the sound of Japanese heavy artillery was heard, a soldier next to him suddenly called out to Deputy Company Commander Liu.

There were two Japanese soldiers in front, running towards their headquarters.

It is not a problem to deal with these two Japanese soldiers, but Deputy Company Commander Liu is afraid of alerting the enemy.

However, there were no alleys on this road, and they had nowhere to hide.

At this time, Deputy Company Commander Liu saw a lot of debris piled up on the side of the path.
