Devil's Army

Chapter 1609: Linkou County: A Feint to the East and Attack in the West

The Japanese Korean Division in Hailin County suffered heavy casualties in this battle and is unlikely to take any action in the short term.

In order to successfully capture Hailin County, the commander of the Seventh Brigade dispatched the Second Regiment to reinforce during the battle.

After defeating the Korean division of the Japanese army in Hailin County, the total strength of the two regiments of the Seventh Brigade was reduced to the size of one regiment.

After repelling the Japanese troops at Laoyeling in the Beishan area, the commander of the Seventh Brigade dispatched the Third Regiment to take over the combat mission, replacing the Second Regiment, which had been fighting continuously for more than a week and was already very tired.

The Third Regiment easily defeated the Japanese and puppet troops in the industrial and commercial cluster in the eastern part of Mudanjiang City and occupied a stronghold.

At this time, Secretary Li's underground intelligence agent sent information that the Japanese troops retreating to Linkou County had replenished their ammunition and supplies, and had been frequently mobilized recently, so there might be some movement.

The 17th Brigade has been transferred, and the remaining 1th Brigade with to people may not be able to withstand the attack of the North Korean division of more than people.

Leng Feng ordered the 4th Brigade, which had already recaptured Jiamusi, to abandon Qiyashan County and attack Qitaihe County with all its might, thus exerting direct pressure on the Japanese Korean Division in Linkou County.

As expected, the Major was worried that the Jiamusi Devil Army would break through Qitaihe County and attack Linkou County from both sides together with the Hailin County Devil Army. He did not dare to act rashly and quickly sent troops to defend along the Qitaihe County direction.

Under the fierce attack of the 4th Brigade in the open field, the Japanese troops in Qitaihe County could not withstand it and collapsed on all fronts in less than a day. The remaining enemies retreated into Linkou County.

The major didn't even dare to send troops to attack the devil troops in Hailin County.

At this time, the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade had been fighting for several days and were quite tired.

After Wang Zhuangfei discussed with the commander of the 7th Brigade, the two armies simultaneously launched a tentative feint attack on Linkou County.

Because they knew that offense was the best defense. If they stopped attacking and began to rest, the Japanese Korean division in Linkou County would attack them instead, which would not be conducive to their recuperation.

Sure enough, after the 4th and 7th Brigades launched a tentative feint attack on Linkou County, the major became more certain that the next target of the devil troops would be Linkou County.

He was thankful that he had made the right judgment and repelled the attacks of the devil troops from Hailin County and Qitaihe County. He no longer considered attacking Hailin County and continued to build fortifications and strengthen his defense.

Wang Zhuangfei and the commander of the 7th Brigade took advantage of the situation and built a defense line along the border with Linkou County on the one hand, and continued to rest the troops, recruit new soldiers and replenish the troops on the other hand.

Hailin County and Qitaihe County were bustling with activity for a while.

The 3rd Regiment of the 7th Brigade continued its eastward advance, successively recovering the area around Wenchun Town (now Xi'an District) and clearing out the Japanese and puppet troops' strongholds in Modaoshi Town and the surrounding railway lines (now Yangming District).

Directly threaten Muling County and Ning'an County.

This made the Japanese Korean Division in Linkou County panic. If Mulin County fell, their transportation line to Dongning County to replenish ammunition and supplies would be cut off.

The major had had enough of the days of food shortage and ammunition shortage in Hailin County.

After much consideration, the major decided to send troops to reinforce Muling County.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade did indeed deploy troops along the border of Musuo County, making it appear as if he was about to attack Muling County.

The Second Parachute Battalion, which had completed the decapitation mission in Hailin County, also arrived at the front line to prepare for new missions.

At seven o'clock, the weather was very good. The sky was covered with dark clouds and even the moonlight was dim.

The commander of the third regiment quietly transferred the main force from the border of Muling County to the border of Ning'an County.

The 2nd Parachute Battalion also quietly set out to carry out new missions.
