Devil's Army

Commander Umezu Michijiro was reluctant to abandon these 10,000-plus soldiers, but Linkou County was surrounded on all sides, and the only way to resupply it was by air force.

Now that they have lost air superiority, the air force can only act quietly.

At noon that day, the entire Harbin Majiagou Airport was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After nearly two months of hard work day and night, the expansion project of Majiagou Airport was finally completed.

At noon that day, Leng Feng dispatched twenty newly produced fighter planes and bombers of the tribe, and Fengtian Airport and Jinzhou Airport each dispatched a fighter squadron to Majiagou Airport.

In this way, the air force of the First Army at Xinjing Airport and Majiagou Airport had more than 80 fighter planes of various types, and could independently engage in air combat with the Japanese Kwantung Army Air Corps.

Towards evening, two Japanese bombers flew over with a rumbling sound.

When the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade saw that it was a Japanese bomber, they shouted and tried to avoid the air raid.

Who knew that the two Japanese bombers did not attack the soldiers of the 4th Brigade, but instead flew over the airspace of the 4th Brigade's defense zone and dropped supplies on the Japanese troops in Linkou County.

Deputy Captain Xu was quite annoyed when he heard the news.

On the day their Majiagou Airport was put into use, Japanese planes came to provoke them. But when their air force rushed over, the Japanese bombers had already fled.

Without the intelligence of the incoming Japanese aircraft, the Majiagou Air Force could not have continued patrolling in the air. This would have been a huge waste of fuel.

Deputy Captain Xu had no choice but to arrange air defense observation posts in Qitaihe and Jiamusi, which had already been recovered, to keep an eye on the movements of Japanese aircraft.

Wang Zhuangfei learned that the Japanese army had arranged bombers to drop ammunition and supplies, and knew that their ammunition and supplies must be insufficient. So he came up with a crooked trick to waste their supplies.

At night, he arranged for soldiers to ambush in the woods a little way outside the city with a group of dummies, carrying iron barrels and firecrackers.

Without warning, the mortar troops suddenly attacked the Japanese and puppet troops on the north gate wall of Linkou County.

The muzzle fire cast a hazy shadow on the dummy in the woods.

A soldier lit firecrackers in an iron barrel a little further away, and the sound of machine gun fire rang out fiercely, "bang bang bang..."

The Japanese and puppet troops hurriedly went up to the city wall to reinforce and fired fiercely at the place where the "gunshots" were heard.

Mortars also bombarded the grove one after another.

Half an hour later, the devil army soldiers still did not attack them.

The lieutenant stopped shooting and carefully observed the situation in the grove.

Suddenly, two "chi chi" sounds were heard from an LR-4 sniper rifle.

The lieutenant and the soldier next to him were shot almost at the same time and fell headfirst outside the city wall.

Fierce "machine gun sounds" were heard again in the woods.

The Japanese fired fiercely at the shadowy figures in the woods again. The mortars began to bombard again.

The soldiers of the Fourth Brigade tormented the Japanese army until dawn before they began to retreat.

After daybreak, the Japanese army was worried about being ambushed by the devil's troops, so they asked the puppet army to leave the city to check the results of the previous night's battle.

The puppet troops entered the woods with trepidation, but found not only no bodies but also no traces of blood.

Some mortar shells and a large amount of firecracker confetti were found in the woods.

Lieutenant General Sinai was so angry when he heard the soldier's report that he almost vomited blood. He just kept cursing:

"The devil's army, cunning, cunning."

When the commander of the Seventh Brigade heard Wang Zhuangfei's plan to provoke an attack, he applauded and copied it, ordering his soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the south gate of Linkou County at night using firecrackers and mortars.
