Devil's Army

Taking advantage of the chaos, the team leader and his men came to the gap in the military camp through which they entered and quickly retreated.

The Japanese military camp was still in chaos.

The commanders of the first and fourth battalions heard fierce explosions coming from the front and knew that the squad leader and his men had succeeded.

After discussing it, the two of them decided that the Japanese army was very likely short of ammunition, and immediately organized their troops to attack the Japanese Korean Division.

Before the soldiers of the 7th Brigade reached the Japanese military camp, they encountered the Japanese advance guard troops, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

When the Japanese commander heard fierce gunfire coming from the front, he knew that the devil troops were coming and immediately ordered his troops to retreat.

Their ammunition was already insufficient, and now their ammunition depot had been destroyed. The ammunition they had was not even enough to fight a major war.

After the main Japanese force retreated, his advance guard troops held out for more than 20 minutes before also retreating.

The troops of the 7th Brigade successfully attacked the Japanese military camp, but it was in a mess and there was no one in sight.

The Japanese commander fled back to Hailin County in a panic with the remaining soldiers.

Japanese Army Korean Division Commander Lieutenant General Sinai was blocked from attacking Harbin from the direction of Tianli Village and only hoped to attack Qingshan, but he suffered heavy losses here and returned in disgrace.

He knew at this time that the Devil Army was more difficult to defeat than any North Korean army he had fought before.

Upon learning of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Daqingshan, Commander Umezu Yoshijiro ordered Lieutenant General Sinai to temporarily stop attacking Harbin, rest his troops, and wait for the Japanese troops in Jiamusi and Suihua to be ready before attacking the devil troops in Harbin from three sides.

Lieutenant General Sinai agreed timidly, without the high-spirited enthusiasm he had when he first arrived.

The soldiers of the first and fourth battalions repelled the Japanese advance guard troops and continued to pursue them, arriving in the Hailin City area.

A battalion commander requested to attack the Japanese troops in Hailin County.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade reported the situation of the Daqingshan battle to Leng Feng and requested an attack on Hailin County.

Soon, it was agreed to attack Hailin County and occupy Hengdaohezi Town.

Hengdaohezi Town is located in the western part of Hailin County, on the southern foot of Zhangguangcai Ridge in the Wanda Mountains. The Binsui Railway and Binsui Avenue pass through the town, making it a must-pass place from Mudanjiang to Harbin.

By occupying Hengdaohezi Town, the Japanese Korean Division's attack on Harbin from the southeast was blocked.

After receiving the order, the Seventh Brigade immediately replied to the First Battalion Commander: Attack Hailin County and capture Hengdaohezi Town.

At the same time, the deployment was quickly adjusted, and the first battalion of the third regiment was transferred to garrison the east gate of Harbin, and the second battalion of the third regiment took over the Daqingshan defense line.

After receiving the order, the first battalion commander and the fourth battalion commander immediately led their troops towards Hengdaohezi Town, Hailin County.

When the troops approached Hailin County, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army.

The Japanese army also knew the importance of Hengdaohezi Town and set up multiple defense lines around the town with fierce firepower.

The artillery was still hiding in the city and kept bombarding the first battalion that was responsible for the main attack.

A battalion of soldiers found it difficult to advance for a while.

Subsequently, the Xinjing Air Force also rushed to support and fiercely bombed and strafed the outer fortifications of Hengdaohezi Town.

The Japanese artillery hidden in the town immediately stopped bombing when they saw the Devil Force's air force flying over.

The Japanese army built bunkers to defend against air raids on the outer fortifications of Hengdaohezi Town.

When the Japanese trenches and other fortifications were all destroyed by the First Army Air Force, the two bunkers on both sides of the road cooperated with each other, continuously strafing to block the attack of the First Battalion.

The soldiers of the first battalion immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army after the air force stopped the air raid, but were blocked by the crossfire from the bunker.
