Devil's Army

The squadron leader was surprised and called a sniper, ordering him to shoot down the small plane.

After the sniper arrived, he quickly aimed at the Golden Eagle drone.

"boom"

As the sniper rifle sounded, the sound of "ding-dong" and metal collision was soon heard in the air.

The small plane in the air shook a little, then flew to higher airspace, but still stayed above their command center.

The sniper waved his hands helplessly.

Another Japanese army unit also rushed to the south gate of Hengdaohezi Town and began to attack.

The 4th Company of the 1st Battalion, which had been well prepared, immediately assisted the South Gate guards in blocking the Japanese army.

The Japanese army originally marched quickly to launch a surprise attack on the South Gate, so artillery and other logistical weapons did not keep up.

The first wave of attack was stubbornly blocked by the Fourth Company, so they had to retreat and wait for the arrival of subsequent supply troops.

When the Xinjing Air Force was bombing the Japanese troops at the east gate, they heard the report and sent four planes to bomb the Japanese troops at the south gate.

As the four fighters and bombers of the Xinjing Air Force were rushing to the south gate of Hengdaohezi Town, they happened to see the Japanese army's baggage train on the way. They immediately lowered their flight altitude and fiercely strafed and bombed the Japanese army's baggage train.

The trucks and artillery of the Japanese supply troops, which had no time to move, were constantly blown away, overturned, caught fire, burned, and exploded during the bombing.

The escort soldiers of the baggage train had to abandon their baggage and flee to the woods on both sides to avoid the air raid.

After bombing the Japanese army's supply train, the Xinjing Air Force left and continued to fly to the south gate of Hengdaohezi Town.

The soldiers of the baggage train walked out of the grove one after another, but the road was already in a mess.

There were overturned, burning artillery pieces and trucks everywhere.

The Japanese troops outside the south gate of Hengdaohezi Town were also forced to flee in all directions by the bombing of the Xinjing Air Force. There was no way for them to organize an attack on Hengdaohezi Town.

After the Xinjing Air Force returned, the Japanese troops at the east and south gates of Hengdaohezi Town did not launch any more attacks.

At night, the Xinjing Air Force was unable to fly over for support, so the Chief of Staff ordered the troops to attack the east and south gates of Hengdaohezi Town at the same time.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions continued from the east and south gates of Hengdaohezi Town.

The 4th Company of the 1st Battalion and the defending troops, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and pre-arranged fortifications, put up a tenacious resistance. The two sides were caught in a fierce stalemate, and casualties continued to mount.

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the Japanese army in the direction of the east gate, and fierce gunfire was heard.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade had seen that although the Japanese had suffered heavy casualties during the day, they had not suffered any serious damage, so he estimated that they would launch a night attack.

He then ordered the brigade's direct battalion to sneak into the rear of the Japanese army under the cover of night and raid its supply lines and headquarters.

The Japanese army was thrown into disarray, and the nearest troops were called back to protect the headquarters. The offensive momentum of the siege troops was also curbed.

On the south gate side, the soldiers of the fourth company seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack when their artillery bombardment stopped.

They rushed towards the Japanese army like tigers descending from the mountains, their shouts of killing shattering the night sky. The Japanese army was caught off guard by this sudden counterattack and retreated in droves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the major hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, temporarily withdraw from the position, and readjust the deployment.

The 7th Brigade's direct battalion also escaped the Japanese pursuit and rested and waited in a small woods southeast of Hengdaohezi Town.

Outside Hengdaohezi Town, the sounds of gunfire and explosions gradually subsided, and the two sides were temporarily in a standoff.
