Devil's Army

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Regiment Commander broke out in a cold sweat. If their troops rashly headed for the Songhua River, they would surely be ambushed by the Japanese troops on the dike.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly came unexpectedly.

The cold wind, like a knife, pierced into the soldiers' necks.

The fourth regiment commander pulled up his collar and arranged two troops, one from the flank and the other from the back, to quietly surround the Japanese ambush troops on the embankment.

Upon receiving the order, a battalion commander led a battalion of soldiers to encircle the Japanese troops on the embankment from behind.

The Second Battalion Commander led a group of soldiers from the Second Battalion to flank the Japanese troops on the dike, while another group of soldiers prepared to attack the ambush troops on the dike from the front through the small road.

After a while, fierce gunfire and grenade explosions were heard from the bushes on the Songhua River embankment.

After a brief period of confusion, the Japanese army stabilized and used the earthen slopes and shrubs on the embankment to block the attack of the Second Battalion.

Just when the battle was at its most intense, another group of soldiers from the Second Battalion, led by the deputy battalion commander, launched an attack from a small path towards the Japanese ambush troops on the embankment.

The Japanese ambushes on the dike had to split into two groups to block the two-sided attack of the Second Battalion.

The second battalion's sudden attack caught the Japanese off guard, but the Japanese army, with its advantageous terrain, quickly stopped the second battalion's attack.

Just as the two armies were fighting fiercely, the first battalion attacked from the rear and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.

While the Japanese ambush troops were passively counterattacking, they also divided their forces to resist the attack of the first battalion.

Due to the terrain, the Japanese troops on the dike did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery. The only two heavy machine guns were deployed to block the attacks of the Second Battalion on the flank and the First Battalion behind.

The grenade throwers also continued to bombard the soldiers of the first and second battalions.

The Japanese ambushes on the embankment took advantage of the terrain and temporarily blocked the attacks of the first and second battalions.

The artillery of the 4th Regiment then joined the battle, bombarding the bushes and grass on the embankment fiercely.

The addition of the 4th Regiment's artillery broke the balance of the battle. The Japanese troops in ambush on the dike began to be unable to resist and fled to the right wing.

The soldiers of the first and second battalions were in hot pursuit, trying to eliminate as many of the Japanese troops as possible on the south bank of the Songhua River and reduce obstacles in their crossing.

At this time, the Japanese artillery on the north bank of the Songhua River also bombarded the artillery positions of the Fourth Regiment.

Some artillerymen also took the time to bombard the soldiers of the first and second battalions who were pursuing their ambush.

Soldiers from the first and second battalions braved the Japanese artillery fire and pursued the fleeing Japanese troops.

In the end, most of the hundreds of Japanese ambushes on the dike were eliminated by soldiers from the first and second battalions.

The artillery of the two armies on both sides of the Songhua River also stopped the meaningless bombardment one after another.

After the counter-ambush battle ended, the commander of the Fourth Regiment reported to the commander of the Seventh Brigade that their troops had reached the south bank of the Songhua River and asked for instructions on the next steps.

Who knew that the order given by the commander of the Seventh Brigade was: Rest and stand by.

The commander of the first battalion had just defeated a Japanese ambush and was in high spirits. He asked the commander of the fourth regiment:

"Captain, we just defeated the Japanese ambush and our morale is high. Why don't we just fight our way across the Songhua River?"

"How do we attack in one go? Should we fly or swim?" The fourth commander shrugged his shoulders and asked while looking at the surging river.

"Captain, can you find the boat?"

"I think it will be difficult. The Japanese are also trying to prevent us from crossing the river."

"A-choo, a-choo!" A gust of cold wind blew over, and the battalion commander sneezed twice in a row and cursed:

"What a horrible weather! Why is it suddenly cold?"

"It's suddenly cold?" The fourth regiment commander looked at the Songhua River, thinking about what the first battalion commander said.

Something suddenly occurred to him.
