Devil's Army

The two companies ambushed in advance by the regimental commander on both sides of Changting Town also fired fiercely at the Japanese troops.

The Japanese army, which had just been bombarded, was immediately attacked from three sides by the devil troops, suffering heavy casualties.

The Japanese chief of staff had to order a retreat.

The soldiers of the first regiment and two companies pursued relentlessly, wanting to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese so that they would not dwell on Changting Town.

The major sensed something was amiss when he heard the sudden burst of gunfire. Soon he saw the chief of staff running back with dozens of soldiers, looking dejected.

The Chief of Staff saw the Major staring at him with a dark face and quickly stood at attention and said:

"Major, the Devil's Army was well prepared and we were ambushed."

At this point, the major didn't even have the energy to scold him.

They were invincible in Korea, but now they have returned to China and have been defeated time and time again. He has already felt that his career has come to an end.

"Major, the devil's troops are chasing us, should we retreat?"

"Retreat? Where to retreat? If we lose Shanshi Town again, the division commander will definitely kill him."

Thinking of this, the Major suddenly said to the Chief of Staff with a fierce look on his face:

"Hold on! If we lose our position on the south side of Gaolingzi Mountain, you'll pay with your life!"

"Hi!"

The chief of staff wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurried out to make arrangements.

Not far from the military camp, the sounds of gunfire and explosions were already intense, and their guarding troops were fighting the devil troops head-on.

The chief of staff arranged two squadrons to attack the devil troops from both sides regardless of casualties.

Seeing that the Japanese army had gained a firm foothold, the battalion commander stopped attacking and led his soldiers back to Changting Town.

The chief of staff, his face covered in mud, breathed a sigh of relief. Without even taking a rest, he quickly ordered the soldiers to consolidate their positions and deepen the trenches.

He didn't know how long they would stay in this damn place, but judging from the major's expression just now, they wouldn't be able to go back in a short time.

At this time, after returning to Changting Town, the battalion commander immediately reported the situation to the regimental commander:

"Commander, the Japanese have been temporarily repelled by us, but they have consolidated their positions on the south side of Gaolingzi Mountain."

A regimental commander lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. "It looks like the Japs are going to fight us here. That's just as well. We've tied up a battalion of their troops here, and we've also tied up a battalion of their troops over at Daqingshan. How can they still lay siege to Harbin?"

At the same time, the major was pacing anxiously in the barracks. He knew very well that such passive defense was not a solution.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, thinking that the devil's army had just won a victory at the south gate of Changting Town, and other parties might have been careless in their defense.

He ordered his chief of staff to lead his troops around the east gate of Changting Town and prepare for a surprise attack.

However, this action was discovered by the Golden Eagle drone in the air.

After hearing the news, the regimental commander sneered: "The Japanese are still trying to play dirty, so I'll play big with him again."

He quickly ordered the commander of the Third Regiment to set up numerous ambushes along the route the Japanese troops had to take, and also transferred the brigade's artillery battalion to the command of the Second Regiment.

The commander of the third regiment, who was in charge of the reserve, was very happy to hear this. He had been watching his comrades in the first regiment fighting the Japanese and was very eager to join in.

He wanted to ask Brigade Commander Guo to let him take over from the First Regiment to fight the Japanese, but with the First Regiment Commander's hot temper, he would definitely get angry with him.

Now Brigade Commander Guo ordered him to rush to the designated location to set up an ambush within an hour and a half.

He had no time to mobilize the soldiers. After gathering the troops, he only said one sentence:

"If you want to fight the Japs, set off immediately."
