Devil's Army

In order to eliminate the Japanese troops in the Wujiashan Fortress, the First Army dropped more incendiary bombs on the Wujiashan Fortress than the total number of bombs in all previous battles combined.

The Hunchun Anti-Japanese First Battalion had always launched surprise attacks on the Japanese army. But to wipe out the Japanese army as a victor like today was a completely different feeling.

They wanted to go down the tunnel to search for the remaining Japanese troops, but were stopped by soldiers from the first battalion.

The soldiers told the team members that their company commander told them that there was likely to be poisonous gas remaining in the tunnel and that they should not enter the tunnel to search for the time being.

The fire that burned for a day and a night at Gokayama Fortress also shocked Commander Michijiro Umezu.

He originally thought that the Wujiashan Fortress could withstand the attacks of the devil's army for more than a month, but he didn't expect it to be breached in this way, and none of the thousands of defenders of the Wujiashan Fortress survived.

If he had a powerful air force, could the Devil Force's bombers still bomb his Wujiashan Fortress so unscrupulously?

On the one hand, he urged the country to speed up the delivery of the remaining fighter planes. On the other hand, he contacted Hata Shunroku of the Japanese China Expeditionary Force to prepare for a joint attack on the Devil Force's air force.

Commander Hata Shunroku agreed immediately, and he was also bombed to a mess by the devilish air force of the Tangshan base.

Many cities in North China were occupied by the Devil Forces, and Tianjin and Beijing were also in danger. However, the Army Headquarters had provided him with less than 100 fighter planes, which were hiding in the airports of Tianjin and Beijing, and they did not dare to confront the Devil Forces' air force.

If we can combine with the Kwantung Army Air Corps and defeat the air force of the devil's Tangshan base or the air force in the Northeast, the situation of the war will change greatly.

This was actually Hata Shunroku's wishful thinking. They could join forces with the Kwantung Army Air Corps and besiege an air force of the First Anti-Japanese Army.

The First Anti-Japanese Army, which has convenient communications and dispatch, can also combine the air force of the Tangshan base with the air force of the tribe to deal with their mixed air force regiment.

Secretary Li heard that the Hunchun Anti-Japanese First Battalion had participated in the Battle of Wujiashan Fortress with the 17th Brigade of the First Anti-Japanese Army, and instructed the battalion commander:

If possible, you can join the 17th Brigade of the First Anti-Japanese Army and fight together.

The captain was of course happy. With the First Anti-Japanese Army as a strong backing, they no longer had to hide everywhere like rabbits being chased by the Japanese.

After hearing the captain's opinion, the regiment commander changed the uniforms of more than 100 people in the Hunchun Anti-Japanese First Battalion and incorporated them into the First Battalion of the Regiment, which had suffered the heaviest losses.

Now the combat mission is heavy, and there is no way to train them specifically, so they can only be trained in actual combat.

After occupying the Japanese Wujiashan fortress, the Japanese army also set up defense strongholds such as Wangchaoshan (Chunhua Town), Tumenzi, Madida, Shileizishan, Ma'anshan, Changlingzi, and Shuiliufeng.

These strongholds cooperate with the Wujiashan Fortress to form a complete defense system.

It was less than a week until New Year's Day 1943.

The 7th Brigade has driven all Japanese troops out of Mudanjiang City except Linkou County. (Heading for the Soviet Primorsky Krai)

Leng Feng ordered them to drive all Japanese troops out of Yanbian before New Year's Day. (Towards Korea)

The 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the 17th Brigade are attacking the remaining Tumen County, Longkai County, and Helong County in Yanbian City.

The Japanese defenses in those three counties were relatively weak, so it would be no problem to drive all the Japanese troops out of the country before New Year's Day.

Now it depends on the regiment that attacks Hunchun.
