Devil's Army

At eight o'clock in the evening, a Japanese army launched an attack on the position of the first battalion from the right wing of Daqing Mountain.

The terrain on the right wing of Daqing Mountain is complex, with numerous earth slopes, rocks and trees.

These terrains blocked the sight of the soldiers of the first battalion, allowing the Japanese soldiers to attack the position of the first battalion secretly. However, the disadvantages of attacking from the right wing were also obvious.

Due to the terrain restrictions, the right wing was not suitable for the movement of large Japanese troops, let alone the passage of Japanese baggage. Why did the mechanized Japanese army choose this as a breakthrough point?

The battalion commander felt that the Japanese army must have a conspiracy.

Sure enough, after a while, the scouts reported that the Japanese troops in front were clearing mines.

"This is the main attack direction of the Japanese." The battalion commander said calmly to the deputy battalion commander.

"I'll arrange for snipers to kill them," the deputy battalion commander said, turning and leaving.

However, just as the deputy battalion commander was arranging the sniper's action, the Japanese troops on the right wing suddenly increased their offensive intensity, and dense bullets poured down on the first battalion's position like raindrops.

The battalion commander knew that this was a Japanese strategy to lure the enemy away from the mountain.

On the one hand, he asked the company commander to command the defense of the right wing, and on the other hand, he personally went to the front to command the battle.

At this moment, the Japanese machine gunners in the front suppressed the snipers of the first battalion, and the engineers quickly cleared the mines.

After the mines were cleared, the Japanese army began to charge towards Daqingshan from the front.

The battalion commander personally led his soldiers to the fortifications on the mountainside, stubbornly resisting the Japanese attack. Mortars also bombarded the attacking Japanese troops one after another.

But there were too many Japanese troops in the front, and more and more of them rushed to the front of the position.

Relying on favorable terrain and tenacious fighting spirit, the soldiers of the first battalion used machine guns, grenades and other weapons at long and short range to deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

The artillery commander of the first battalion also changed his strategy and launched a fierce bombing between the Japanese follow-up troops and the attacking troops, creating a vacuum zone.

The Japanese follow-up troops were caught off guard and scattered everywhere.

The Japanese vanguard's offensive momentum gradually weakened after losing its follow-up troops, and was finally defeated by the battalion commander and his men.

At this time, the Japanese attack on the right wing was gradually suppressed by the company commander and his men.

The battalion commander knew that the Japanese army would not give up easily, so he was on high alert, consolidating his fortifications and preparing for the next, more frenzied attack from the Japanese army.

The Second Regiment Commander learned that the Japanese Korean Division had launched a heavy attack on Daqingshan, and urgently ordered the Fourth Battalion to rush over to reinforce.

The east gate of Harbin was defended by the company directly under the regiment.

The Japanese army's feint to the east and attack in the west failed, and concentrated artillery fire to fiercely bombard the Daqingshan position of the first battalion.

The Japanese artillery had been hiding from the devil's air force during the day, and they were full of anger. Now they poured all their fire on the positions of the first battalion.

The hillside of Daqing Mountain was suddenly filled with flying rocks and billowing smoke.

The soldiers of the first battalion hid in the anti-artillery cave on the reverse slope of the fortification on the mountainside, and their eardrums were buzzing from the explosion.

After the Japanese army bombarded the first battalion's position for half an hour, the infantry launched a fierce attack on Daqingshan.

When the soldiers of the first battalion saw that the shelling had stopped, they crawled out of the anti-artillery holes and fired fiercely at the attacking Japanese troops.

After leaving behind batches of corpses on the hillside, the Japanese army had to retreat again.

The Japanese commander knew that there were not many soldiers of the Devil's Army on the battlefield, only half of their number, so he decided to fight a war of attrition.

He once again ordered the artillery to bombard the indestructible cockroaches on Daqing Mountain, and the infantry launched an attack on Daqing Mountain before the shelling stopped.

The soldiers of the first battalion had to brave the Japanese artillery fire to block the attack of the Japanese infantry. The number of casualties rose sharply, the firepower was greatly reduced, and the position was in danger.
