Devil's Army

At around ten o'clock in the evening, a regiment of artillery arrived at the designated location.

At seven o'clock the next morning, the Xinjing Air Force arrived over the east bank of the Ash River and carried out fierce bombing and strafing on the Japanese river beach positions.

The Japanese army's barbed wire broke into pieces and fell to the ground during the bombing.

The Japanese infantry trenches were bombed and collapsed one after another, but not many of the Japanese bunkers were destroyed.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the regimental commander began to order the fishing boats to ferry the soldiers across the river.

When the fishing boat reached the middle of the river, the Japanese soldiers on the east bank began to shoot at it, but the sporadic gunfire could not stop the fishing boat from crossing the river.

After a while, the Japanese mortar soldiers behind the position began to bombard the fishing boat.

The waves caused by the explosion pushed the fishing boat back and forth.

The artillery of the first regiment immediately identified the Japanese mortar positions and prepared to counterattack.

At this time, the Xinjing Air Force also discovered the Japanese mortar positions and immediately flew over to fiercely straf and bomb the Japanese mortar positions.

The Japanese mortar positions were suppressed and destroyed by the air force, and a regiment of soldiers sped towards the east bank of the Ash River.

The Japanese bunkers braved the bombing of the Devil Forces' air force and desperately fired at the fishing boats. However, the dust raised by the air force bombing blocked the sight of the Japanese soldiers in the bunkers, effectively shielding the fishing boats.

Two small fishing boats quickly transported a platoon of soldiers to the east bank of the Ash River and immediately returned to transport more soldiers.

A group of soldiers who came ashore crawled forward and engaged in fierce firefight with the Japanese troops in the collapsed trenches, attracting the Japanese firepower and effectively covering the fishing boats' crossing of the river.

As more and more soldiers from the First Regiment crossed the river, the attack on the Japanese positions on the riverbank intensified. The Japanese soldiers in the trenches could hardly stop the attack of the First Regiment. However, the machine guns in the bunkers posed a considerable threat to the First Regiment soldiers on the beach.

A regiment of soldiers who crossed the river temporarily stopped the attack, reported the location of the Japanese beachhead to the artillery, and called for artillery reinforcements.

After a while, the artillery of the 1st Regiment carried out a blanket bombing on the Japanese beachhead positions while the 1st Army Air Force was still bombing.

The Japanese army's bunkers were hidden deep underground and were built with cement and steel bars.

Artillery fire posed little threat to him unless it hit him directly.

The artillery and air force bombardments ceased almost simultaneously, and the infantry, having crossed the river, immediately approached the Japanese beachhead under the cover of the lingering smoke and dust.

After the smoke and dust cleared, the bunkers on the Japanese beachhead quickly discovered the soldiers of the Devil Army rushing towards them, and machine guns immediately began firing.

A group of soldiers lay down and fought back, and the machine gunners immediately fired at the firing holes of the Japanese bunker to suppress the Japanese firepower.

The rocket soldiers who had arrived quickly aimed at the Japanese bunkers and destroyed them one by one.

With the destruction of the bunkers on the Japanese beachhead, the Japanese beachhead defense line was in name only.

Soldiers from a regiment rushed into the trench one after another and wiped out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the trench.

Then they entered the Japanese bunker through the trench and eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops in the bunker that had not yet been destroyed.

On the west bank of the Ash River, a group of soldiers who had not participated in the battle were also busy cutting down trees and building pontoon bridges so that their subsequent troops, tanks and artillery could cross the river.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, a group of troops crossing the river basically wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops on the beachhead.
