Devil's Army

The division commander was furious at the tragic scene outside Changting Town, but he could do nothing about it. Who had prevented them from having air superiority?

At this moment, the adjutant came running over and said:

"Division Commander, Commander Umezu Michijiro called back and agreed to allow our air force to participate in the war!"

It turned out that Commander Umezu Michijiro knew that the Devil Force's air force was limited and agreed to use the remaining air force to reverse the defeat. However, he set a time limit for them: they could not stay in the air for more than 20 minutes to prevent the Xinjing Devil Force's air force from rushing to support them.

The division commander's eyes lit up, as if he saw a turning point.

He immediately ordered his soldiers to assemble in the woods, and when their air force suppressed the Devil Forces' air force, they would immediately launch an attack on Changting Town.

Soon, the Japanese air force roared in and engaged in a fierce battle with Xinjing's planes in the air.

For a moment, the sky was filled with artillery fire and smoke.

The few fighter planes in Xinjing were unable to withstand the siege of the Japanese fighter planes, so they had to retreat first and call for reinforcements from the Xinjing Air Force.

Japanese bombers took the opportunity to launch indiscriminate bombing on the soldiers of the Devil Force on the walls of Changting Town, and the ground was a sea of fire.

In Changting Town, the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 17th Brigade were not intimidated by the fierce attack. They believed that the Chinese sky belonged to the Chinese people.

A regimental commander left a small number of observation posts on the city wall, and the other soldiers retreated into the houses and streets of Changting Town to avoid the Japanese air force that had temporarily gained the upper hand.

When the major saw that the fortifications of the devil troops in Changting Town had been destroyed and their firepower had been suppressed, he immediately ordered the infantry to launch an attack.

A group of soldiers hiding in houses and streets saw the observation post's signal and immediately rushed to the city wall to block the Japanese attack.

Japanese aerial bombs and machine gun shells fell on the walls of Changting Town from time to time, but the soldiers of the first regiment fought to the death and put up a tenacious resistance to the attacking Japanese army, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops attacking Changting Town also struggled to advance. Despite the support of the air force, the resistance of the devil troops was very stubborn, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The division commander knew that if this continued, the battle situation would be very unfavorable to him.

At this time, their air force suddenly retreated without warning.

Without air support, siege battles became more difficult.

The major ordered another squadron to join the siege and called for artillery support.

He had no way out. If he couldn't take Changting Town, he would die.

Just as the major was gritting his teeth and persisting, hoping to break through the defense line of the devil troops, the roar of a large number of sharp-nosed fighter planes came from the direction of Xinjing.

Reinforcements from the Devil Force Air Force arrived.

As soon as the Devil Force's air force arrived, they launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese troops who were attacking the city.

The attacking Japanese army had no way to resist and had to retreat again.

The battalion commander wiped his face, which was covered with dust and blood, and stared coldly at the retreating Japanese troops.

Judging from the frenzied nature of the Japanese attack just now, he didn't believe that the Japanese would give up. He felt that the Japanese would launch an even more fierce attack at night.

He conveyed his opinion to the regimental commander, who agreed with his analysis and arranged for two companies to ambush on both sides outside the city after dinner.

He also moved all the mortars of the entire regiment to a place not far from the city wall and ordered: If the Japanese army really launches a surprise attack tonight, use the sound of the artillery as a command to encircle and annihilate this group of Japanese troops.
