Devil's Army

The battle first broke out in the Oroqen tribe. The first company of the first regiment of the third brigade kicked off the anti-annihilation war.

The leading tank of the Japanese army continued to fiercely bombard the devil troops in the anti-tank cone fortifications while advancing. The infantry followed on both sides of the tank.

The first company hid in the fortifications and began to suffer casualties. However, the number of casualties was acceptable. Among them, the second platoon leader Pan Xingbang was seriously injured. Shrapnel hit his abdomen.

The company commander asked two soldiers to take him to the infirmary. Pan Xingbang refused. He was also a veteran who had fought with Li Guozhu for a long time.

He bandaged the wound himself and said, "It's okay. The devil bit me once, so I will bite him back ten times."

The Japanese were close enough, and the company commander shouted "shoot", and then knocked down a Japanese sergeant with a plaster flag on the muzzle of his gun next to the tank.

The troops then opened fire, firing dense bullets and grenades at the Japanese.

The Japanese soldiers on both sides of the tank fell to the ground one after another, and the remaining Japanese soldiers hurriedly hid behind the tank and continued to fight back.

The Japanese tanks, relying on their hard tortoise shells, charged forward recklessly, and their machine guns fired fiercely at the anti-tank cones.

The company commander was hit by a bullet in the right and left chest, and blood gushed out.

Pan Xingbang, the platoon leader, covered the company commander's right chest and shouted anxiously, "Company commander, company commander..."

The company commander pointed behind him with his right hand and died without saying a word.

Pan Xingbang took over the command and shouted: "Second Platoon, Third Platoon, retreat, First Platoon, cover me."

"First Platoon Leader, you are injured, your first platoon will retreat first, and our third platoon will provide cover," the third platoon leader shouted.

Pan Xingbang did not bother to talk to the third platoon leader, and shouted, "First and second platoons, follow me to retreat."

Soon, the third platoon leader also led the third platoon to retreat behind the second line of fortification.

The battalion commander in the second fortification waved to the third platoon leader, signaling them to retreat to the entrance of the mountain tunnel to rest together with the first and second platoons that had just withdrawn.

Because Leng Feng's troops blasted a passage in the middle of the anti-tank cone that was big enough for a truck to enter and exit, the first tank and infantry of the Japanese occupied the anti-tank cone without much effort.

The leader of the regiment, Colonel Nagano, was transferred from Rehe. Since entering the battlefield in Northeast China, he has won many battles and they were all easy victories, which made him very proud.

He sat in the truck and pointed his little finger at the puppet army captain next to him and said, "This is what you Chinese fight for." Then he pointed his thumb and said, "This is what I use to smoke Fu Shou Gao."

The puppet army captain nodded and bowed, almost wagging his tail as he said, "The Imperial Japanese Army is very good at fighting, very good!"

Colonel Nagano laughed loudly and no longer looked at the puppet army captain.

The first Japanese tank and infantry quickly rushed to a place about 200 meters away from the second fortification. The second tank had just entered the anti-tank cone fortification.

"Attack!" a battalion commander in the second fortification shouted, and bullets and grenades flew out of the second fortification and flew towards the Japanese.

Hearing the gunfire from the second fortification, the tops of the three-kilometer-long trenches on both sides of the path were lifted one after another. Soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Brigade lying in ambush on both sides lay in the trenches and shot and threw grenades at the Japanese. The Japanese soldiers next to the two tanks and two armored vehicles fell to the ground one after another.

Tanks and armored vehicles without infantry cover are like moving iron coffins.

An old soldier from the 1st regiment rolled over the blind spot of the first tank, climbed onto the tank, knocked a grenade into the tank, then turned around and jumped off the tank and threw himself into the grass next to it.

There was an explosion, and the arrogant first tank lay down and there was no movement.

An old soldier from the Second Regiment was so bored that he pointed his submachine gun into the firing hole of the second Japanese tank and fired a volley of bullets into it.

Then he jumped onto the tank again, and when he heard some movement inside, he opened the tank's cover and fired all the ammunition from the machine gun inside.

The armored vehicle behind just happened to see the old soldier and quickly aimed its machine gun at him and fired.

The veteran saw the machine gun of the armored vehicle in front of him turn towards him, and quickly rolled off the tank. Then he changed a new magazine, and then rolled to the side of the armored vehicle, thrust the machine gun into the firing port of the Japanese armored vehicle, and started to swing back and forth. Another magazine was soon used up, and the Japanese armored vehicle stopped moving.

The last armored vehicle was also blown down by a grenade thrown from the roof by an old soldier.

Colonel Nagano saw that the size of the devil army attacking them was at least 7,000 to 8,000 people. "Didn't Commander Musashi say that the devil army only had about 7,000 people? Did they all gather together to fight him? They gave up on Hejiazhai because the fortifications were so strategic."

Colonel Nagano really couldn't figure it out. If he couldn't figure it out, he would give up. Colonel Nagano asked Commander Musashi for help and reported his situation while commanding his troops to break out of the encirclement as hard as they came.

Soldiers from the first and second regiments in the trenches on both sides of the path saw a group of guards desperately protecting a few people trying to break out. They immediately concentrated their firepower and fired at the group of people. Grenades were also thrown at their heads.

As the guards around Colonel Nagano continued to fall, Colonel Nagano also fell forever in the wild just like his name.

This battle was the first battle fought by the First Anti-Japanese Army since its transformation. The First Army won a great victory and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition, artillery, two tanks, and two armored vehicles. Only less than 200 Japanese soldiers escaped. More than 50 Japanese soldiers and more than 200 puppet soldiers were captured.

Leng Feng walked happily towards the first tank. Mao Lang was tinkering with it inside.

"Maolang, can you still open it?" Leng Feng shouted at Maolang.

Mao Lang stood up and shook his head at Leng Feng, saying, "No, many instruments have been blown up."

"If it can't be opened, just leave it alone for now. Ask Engineer Li to come and take a look when the time comes."

Mao Lang tried the other tank and two armored vehicles again. The tank and armored vehicle that the old soldier from the Second Regiment had strafed with a machine gun were actually able to move. The remaining armored vehicle was also damaged and needed to be repaired.

After listening to what Mao Lang said, Leng Feng immediately went up and called Wang Zhuangfei's Fourth Brigade.
