Devil's Army

Commander Yoshijiro Umezu made a huge investment and had the air force hidden at Nenjiang Airport and Hulin Airport in Heilongjiang Province after the last defeat prepared to support the troops in Harbin at any time.

Although air supremacy is now in the hands of the Devil Force Air Force, Commander Michijiro Umezu has his own good plan.

When the 4th Brigade attacked Harbin from the south, it was blocked by the Japanese army in the Laoshaogou area on the south bank of the Songhua River.

The troops of the first tank company then bombed the Japanese positions in Laoshaogou.

Under the cover of tanks, the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade attacked quickly and broke through the Japanese Laoshaogou defense line.

The soldiers of the Fourth Brigade then pursued the enemy to Shitouchengzi Village north of Sancha River.

We arrived at Shuangcheng Station at around 2:00 p.m. and encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army.

The commander of the first regiment of the fourth brigade was a veteran of the Northeast Army. Ten years ago, their 22nd Brigade of the Northeast Army had resisted the Japanese attack at Shuangcheng Station for a day and a half.

After the fall of Shuangcheng Station, he traveled around the Northeast to fight guerrilla warfare and later joined the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Since he was familiar with Shuangcheng Station, Wang Zhuangfei ordered their group to attack Shuangcheng Station.

The Japanese army was helpless against the tanks of the First Army, and the soldiers of the First Regiment quickly broke through the outer positions of Shuangcheng Station. However, when attacking the core positions of Shuangcheng Station, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army.

Moreover, when a tank of the First Army entered Shuangcheng Station, a Japanese soldier jumped from the second floor of the incomplete platform holding a pack of explosives and fell on the top of the tank tower.

This tank of the First Army was also blown up by the Japanese army.

The remaining tanks of the First Army did not dare to advance and bombarded the Japanese firepower points inside Shuangcheng Station from outside the station.

The Japanese mortar positions in Shuangcheng Station were also destroyed by the tanks of the First Army.

Then the machine gunners of the regiment continued to fire, the rocket soldiers carried out targeted clearance, and the soldiers crawled forward, finally approaching the core position of Shuangcheng Station.

A group of soldiers jumped up and roared as they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese troops hiding behind the broken tiles.

After more than an hour of clearing house by house and alley by alley, the first company of the first battalion of the first regiment finally completely recaptured Shuangcheng Station.

By this time it was already late, and the regiment commander did not continue to advance towards Harbin.

The troops entered Shuangcheng Station in a combat posture.

Due to the importance of Shuangcheng Station, the Japanese army, unwilling to accept defeat, led their troops to attack Shuangcheng Station that night. However, they were defeated by a regiment that had been prepared in advance.

The next day, the first regiment arrived at the Weitanggou River area and launched a fierce attack along both sides of the railway to the south of Guxiangtun, Wanggang Town, Yongfatun, and Yangmajia, which were heavily guarded by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army used bunkers and trenches to fight back desperately.

At this time, the Xinjing Air Force was dispatched and launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese bunkers and trenches.

Before the smoke of the bombing had cleared, a company of five tanks rumbled forward in a row toward the Japanese bunkers and trenches, but were stopped by the anti-tank ditch in front of the trenches.

A regiment of engineers, under the cover of infantry, crawled forward, attempting to approach the anti-tank ditch and fill it up, but was met with fierce fire from the Japanese.

The infantry attack was thwarted, and the Xinjing Air Force once again launched fierce bombing and strafing on the Japanese positions.

Afterwards, the air force extended the bombing to bomb and strafe the follow-up support forces of the Japanese positions.

The air force then continued to bomb and strafe the Japanese fortifications on the Harbin city wall.

The artillery of the 4th Brigade took over the bombing baton and once again launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese bunkers and trenches.
