Devil's Army

After defeating the Japanese army, the soldiers of the Fourth Company did not pursue the victory, but quickly returned to the town and prepared for the next attack by the Japanese army.

After repelling the Japanese army, the soldiers at the East Gate quickly built fortifications to prevent the next attack by the Japanese army.

When the Japanese Korean Division attacked Hengdaohezi Town, the division commander also arranged another force to attack Changting Town.

The vanguard of the Japanese army marched to Zhangguangcai Ridge and was blocked by soldiers of the 17th Brigade.

The Japanese follow-up troops arrived soon and launched a fierce attack on Zhangguangcai Mountain, but Zhangguangcai Mountain was a dangerous place with many ravines.

The soldiers hid in natural ravines and blocked the Japanese attack from a high position, causing the Japanese soldiers to suffer considerable casualties.

With the arrival of the Japanese artillery units, they began to carry out a blanket bombing of Zhangguangcai Ridge.

The positions of the 17st Battalion of the th Brigade were almost completely plowed by the Japanese artillery.

A battalion commander was unfortunately shot and killed in the first round of artillery fire by the Japanese army.

The Japanese artillery fire was so fierce that if it continued like this, the position would not be able to hold out for long.

The deputy battalion commander quickly requested air support from his superiors.

Upon hearing the news, the Xinjing Air Force quickly dispatched to reinforce, but they were unable to do anything.

The Japanese artillery position was located in a small village where civilians were often seen walking around. It was impossible for the air force to bomb the Japanese artillery position without regard for the lives of the civilians.

The Xinjing Air Force did not know that this small mountain village had only more than 20 households and more than 60 residents.

In order to protect his artillery positions from air raids by the Devil Forces Air Force, the North Korean division commander took great pains to build his artillery positions in this village.

When they entered the village, all the villagers were slaughtered.

All those who are walking around now wearing villagers' clothes are Japanese soldiers in disguise.

A regimental commander regretted deeply after hearing the information transmitted by the air force.

He originally thought that with the support of the air force, the Japanese artillery would not dare to wreak havoc, so he did not ask the troops to dig anti-artillery trenches.

Now under the bombardment of Japanese artillery, it was obviously too late to dig anti-artillery trenches.

In order to avoid heavy casualties among the soldiers, the regimental commander gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to retreat and abandon the Zhangguangcai Ridge position.

The deputy battalion commander couldn't bear to see the blood of more than half of his battalion's soldiers shed in vain.

He placed a large number of grenades under the trench, covered them with a thin layer of soil, and asked two soldiers to wait behind with the fuses pulled.

The Japanese infantry quickly occupied Zhangguangcai Ridge and jumped into the trenches to search for the surviving soldiers of the Devil Army.

But apart from the corpses of the devil's soldiers, they did not see a single wounded person.

Seeing a small number of Japanese troops crossing the trench, the two soldiers decisively pulled the fuse of the grenade.

At this time, a series of earth-shaking explosions sounded.

The Zhangguangcailing position was in a mess, with the broken limbs of Japanese soldiers and the wailing of the wounded everywhere.

A deputy battalion commander took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and wiped out the small number of Japanese troops that crossed the trench.

Before the Japanese army could organize a counterattack, a deputy battalion commander quickly led his soldiers to retreat.

The Japanese soldiers occupied Zhangguangcai Ridge again, but the continuous explosions just now left them with a big shadow. This time they advanced in separate directions and searched carefully.

In the afternoon, the Japanese army passed through Zhangguangcai Ridge, but they did not continue to attack Changting Town.

They were awaiting the arrival of their artillery observers.
