Devil's Army

After the company commander arranged the garrison matters, he took the rest of the soldiers back to Tianli Village to report.

The Third Battalion Commander was heartbroken upon learning of the victory but the tragic loss suffered by the villagers. He arranged for the funeral arrangements for the fallen soldiers and villagers while gathering everyone to discuss the next steps.

At noon the next day, scouts reported that a squadron of Japanese troops was moving towards the cellar village, probably looking for the reconnaissance team that had lost contact.

The commander of the third battalion acted decisively and ordered the commander of the first company to lead the returning soldiers to Dijiao Village again to support the garrisoned platoon and to deal a head-on blow to the invading Japanese army.

The company commander received the order, quickly assembled the troops, and rushed there as quickly as possible.

When a company of soldiers arrived at Dijiao Village, they found that the Japanese army was very close to Dijiao Village.

The company commander commanded the soldiers to hide on both sides of the entrance of Dijiao Village.

When the Japanese army was tentatively searching for the cellar village, they were suddenly attacked by a row of soldiers lying in ambush in the cellar village.

The Japanese squadron leader, who had been prepared, immediately organized a counterattack.

At this time, a company of soldiers suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from both sides.

Suddenly, the sounds of gunfire and shouts of killing echoed throughout the cellar village. The Japanese army did not expect to be ambushed by the devil's troops and suffered heavy casualties.

The squadron leader divided his troops to resist while retreating, and finally fled back to Hailin City in a panic.

The First Anti-Japanese Army also successfully defended Dijiao Village and continued to vigilantly monitor the movements of the Japanese army, preparing for subsequent battles.

Seeing that their reconnaissance team was blocked from investigating the situation in Tianli Village, the Japanese army changed their strategy and arranged to disguise themselves as ordinary people and continue to sneak into Tianli Village for reconnaissance.

Several scouts disguised themselves very cleverly and successfully sneaked into Tianli Village.

They pretended to be ordinary villagers fleeing, and while chatting with the villagers of Dijiao Village, they kept asking about the troop deployment, weapons and equipment of Tianli Village's First Anti-Japanese Army.

A scout spotted an old lady selling vegetables at the village entrance and tried to get some information out of her.

The old lady noticed that the man's behavior was suspicious and his eyes were always wandering around the soldiers in the village, and she became alert.

The old lady remained calm and chatted with the scout while secretly winking at the soldiers patrolling nearby.

The soldiers understood what he meant and quietly surrounded them.

When the scout felt he had obtained some useful information and was about to leave, the soldiers rushed over and subdued him.

After interrogation, the third battalion commander learned that the Japanese troops stationed in Hailin City were the 20th Division stationed in Korea. He also learned that this Japanese army was equipped with an artillery regiment.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade learned of this information and asked the Xinjing Air Force to help scout the location of the Japanese artillery regiment and destroy it.

The Xinjing Air Force dispatched two fighter planes and two bombers, which circled Hailin City several times but found no trace of the Japanese artillery regiment.

In order to prevent the Japanese from noticing, the soldiers of the third battalion quickly released the captured Japanese scout and gave him some false information to report back.

In order to save his own life, the Japanese scout did not reveal the fact that he was captured. Instead, he provided the commander with some false information that was deliberately given to him by the soldiers of the third battalion.

The Japanese commander soon learned that the Devil Force had stationed a regiment of troops in Tianli Village and also had 150mm howitzers.

Taking into account the terrain of Tianli Village, the Japanese commander decided to direct the attack towards Daqing Mountain.

The Japanese Korean Division has been constantly on the move, and the commander of the 7th Brigade decided to put some pressure on them.
