Devil's Army

After the Japanese artillery observers arrived at the front line, the Japanese army immediately launched a tentative attack on Changting Town.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion stationed in Changting Town immediately opened fire on the attacking Japanese troops.

The Japanese artillery observation post immediately reported the fire position coordinates of the Devil Forces in Changting Town.

After a while, the Japanese artillery launched a long-range bombardment on the position of the Second Battalion of Changting Town.

The Japanese artillery bombardment had just stopped, and the infantry took the opportunity to launch another attack on Changting Town.

The soldiers of the second battalion had no time to lick their wounds and immediately stopped the Japanese army.

At this time, the Xinjing Air Force rushed to reinforce and launched fierce bombing and strafing at the attacking Japanese infantry.

After repelling the Japanese infantry outside Changting Town, the Xinjing Air Force did not return but continued to patrol the surrounding area. However, they were unable to bomb the Japanese artillery positions.

In the evening, after the Xinjing Air Force returned, the Japanese artillery once again launched a fierce bombing on the positions of the Second Battalion in Changting Town.

Before the artillery bombardment was completely over, the Japanese infantry launched a fierce attack on Changting Town.

The Second Battalion, which did not build anti-artillery fortifications, also suffered heavy casualties.

In order to avoid being bombed by Japanese artillery, a regimental commander decided to temporarily let the Japanese army enter the town.

After evacuating the civilians, the soldiers occupied the houses and commanding heights on the streets and engaged in street fighting with the Japanese army.

At the same time, the regiment's direct company was arranged to leave the town to search for the Japanese artillery positions and wait for an opportunity to destroy them.

After successfully entering Changting Town, the Japanese army continued to advance deeper into the territory, but encountered stubborn resistance.

In the dark night, bullets were fired and grenades flew towards every house and every roof.

The whole night in Changting Town was filled with the sounds of gunfire and grenade explosions that terrified the people.

The Japanese machine guns had just suppressed the firepower of the soldiers of the Second Battalion for a short time when they were immediately destroyed by rockets flying from an unknown direction.

While the Japanese army and the soldiers of the Second Battalion were fighting in Changting Town, the direct company was marching quickly in the direction indicated by the air force under the cover of night.

As the two sides were engaged in a chaotic battle and there were many Japanese troops on the road, Captain Jia arranged several soldiers to scout the way ahead.

The troops sometimes marched quickly, sometimes lay in wait, and nearly encountered the Japanese army several times, but they managed to avoid it.

The direct company finally arrived at the outskirts of the village that the air force mentioned, but there was no way to get in.

The Japanese defense forces were heavily guarded, with patrols constantly crossing each other and guard posts everywhere, both visible and hidden.

Captain Jia was very puzzled. Their artillery positions did not allow outsiders to approach. Did the Japanese army allow the villagers to move freely within their artillery positions?

At this moment, Captain Jia had already realized that the villagers in this village were in great danger. However, the air force made it clear that they had found villagers wearing ordinary clothes.

Without finding out the truth, they would not have rashly launched an air strike.

Seeing that it was extremely difficult for a large force to infiltrate the Japanese artillery positions, Captain Jia had to arrange for three capable soldiers to sneak in to investigate the situation. He provided cover outside to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

Captain Jia placed the battlefield to attract the Japanese army's attention at the left turn of the path leading into the village.

There are two hills on both sides of this turning point, and behind them are a lot of withered Sedge Grass.

Captain Jia deployed the second and third platoons on these two hills, and the first platoon attacked the Japanese army from the front, luring them to the hills and encircling and annihilating them.

The fourth platoon was on the right side of the village entrance, ready to pick up the three soldiers who had sneaked in.
