Devil's Army

Chapter 1524: Capturing the Tianheng Mountain Position

When the regimental commander heard that the first battalion's night attack on Tianheng Mountain was blocked, he had no choice but to wait until tomorrow daytime to see what opportunity presented itself.

The next morning, soldiers from the first battalion followed two tanks and launched an attack on the Japanese troops in Tianheng Mountain.

The Japanese army continued to shoot at the soldiers of the Devil Force around the tanks, but were soon suppressed by the tank machine guns.

When a battalion of soldiers approached the Tianheng Mountain position, the Japanese artillery hidden in Tianheng Mountain suddenly opened fire.

Shells landed next to the tanks one after another, blowing away the soldiers of the attacking battalion.

The tanks stopped advancing and engaged in fierce bombardment with the Japanese artillery.

The one that attacked the First Battalion was the Japanese army's small mountain artillery, which was easy to move. During the exchange of fire with the First Army's tanks, it kept changing its position.

This made it difficult for the First Army's tanks to lock onto the Japanese artillery positions.

A Japanese mountain artillery shell struck a tank on its left track while it was on the move, sending shattered metal links scattering like shotgun shells.

The tank also tilted to the left.

In order to avoid greater casualties, the regimental commander decided to temporarily stop the attack when the Japanese artillery positions were detected.

The damaged tank was also towed back by another tank.

Afterwards, the Army Aviation Soldiers flew the Golden Eagle UAV close to the treetops to scout the Japanese artillery positions.

The golden eagle searched carefully along the direction where the Japanese artillery shells had just flown, and finally found three small mountain cannons parked on an artificially cleared area surrounded by trees.

Judging from the intensity of the Japanese artillery bombardment just now, the Japanese artillery positions definitely have more than just these three small mountain cannons.

The Army Aviation soldiers soon discovered that there were two inconspicuous paths connecting to this artillery position.

After reconnaissance, the Army Aviation soldiers found a small path leading to the outside, which was obviously the supply line of the Japanese artillery position.

Another path led to another open space, where three small Japanese mountain cannons were also hidden.

The Army Aviation soldiers immediately sent the coordinates of the two small mountain artillery positions of the Japanese army to the Air Force in Xinjing.

In less than an hour, the roar of airplanes was heard from the direction of Xinjing.

After a while, the Xinjing Air Force launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the coordinates sent by the Army Aviation Soldiers.

The intelligence sent back by the Army Aviation soldiers from the Golden Eagle showed that the hidden Japanese mountain artillery was being knocked over one after another.

The Japanese troops on the artillery positions were also blown away by aerial bombs one after another.

Then, the signalman sent the coordinates of the Japanese Tianhengshan position to the air force.

The Xinjing Air Force then launched a fierce bombing of the Tianheng Mountain position. However, the trees here were more lush, and the bombing did not achieve the desired effect.

After destroying the Japanese artillery positions, the regimental commander arranged two more tanks to cover the soldiers of the first battalion in launching an attack on the Japanese Tianhengshan positions.

Although the Japanese army resisted stubbornly, their resistance became increasingly difficult as their machine gun fire points were blown away by tanks one after another.

The tank tracks rumbled as they pressed down on the Japanese Tianhengshan position.

The soldiers of the first battalion also rushed to the Tianheng Mountain position.

A desperate Japanese soldier rushed towards the tank on the left with a smoking grenade in his hand.

A soldier from the first battalion standing next to him was quick-witted and kicked him away.

Immediately afterwards, a "boom..." explosion sounded above the trench.

Tianheng Mountain was the last barrier deployed by the Japanese army at the east gate of Harbin.

After the First Battalion occupied the Japanese Tianheng Mountain position, the First Regiment did not immediately attack the east gate of Harbin. Instead, it ordered all the soldiers of the regiment to advance across the board to clear out the Japanese troops scattered in Tianheng Mountain.
