Devil's Army

In order to prevent the attack of the Soviet Red Army, the Japanese army in Hunchun built a large number of fortifications.

This brought great difficulties to the First Regiment in retaking Hunchun.

In order to save time, after lunch, the regimental commander asked the engineers to fill the anti-tank trenches outside the Wujiashan Fortress.

Then, under the cover of tanks, the three battalions launched attacks on the Japanese positions in Wangchao Mountain, Tumenzi and Madida respectively.

The first battalion serves as a reserve force, ready to provide reinforcements at any time.

The Japanese army found it incredible that the impregnable Wujiashan Fortress was breached in just two days.

The means by which the devil troops broke through the Wujiashan Fortress made them even more frightened.

While they were fighting the Devil's Army soldiers, they kept an eye on the sky to see if there were any Devil's Army planes sprinkling yellowish "rain".

That afternoon, when the soldiers of the Second Battalion were fighting fiercely with the Japanese troops in the Wangchao Mountain fortifications, the Majiagou Air Force rushed to support them.

At this time, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and a strange scene appeared that surprised the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

The Japanese troops who were fighting fiercely with them outside the bunkers all hid in the bunkers and tunnels.

After the Majiagou Air Force stopped the air raid, they did not come out to fight fiercely with the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion reached the Japanese fortifications on Wangchao Mountain without much difficulty and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese troops in the bunkers and tunnels.

In the evening, the soldiers of the Second Battalion successfully recaptured the Japanese positions on Wangchao Mountain.

At the battle summary meeting that evening, the Third Battalion also recaptured the Japanese position at Tumenzi and encountered the same situation as the Second Battalion.

The third battalion commander asked the first regiment commander with some doubt:

"Are the Japanese afraid of rain? If so, wouldn't it be more effective if we attack them on rainy days?"

The captain took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said calmly:

"The Japs weren't afraid of the rain, but the yellowish rain poured down by our air force. They were afraid of being roasted like pigs."

At this time, the second and third battalion commanders suddenly realized.

"Tell me about the situation over there today?" the first regiment commander asked the third battalion commander who had been silent.

"The Japanese army built many sturdy bunkers at the Madida position, which were connected to the trenches. When we attacked nearby, the bunkers suddenly opened fire. Our soldiers could not dodge in time and suffered heavy casualties. Commander, our battalion is incompetent and failed to complete the mission today." The fourth battalion commander stood up and said sadly.

"The situation at each Japanese position is different. We need to analyze it on a case-by-case basis. We cannot conclude that your battalion is incompetent just because one battle failed."

"Yes!" The fourth battalion commander looked at the first regimental commander gratefully. He had thought that since his battalion alone had failed to complete its mission, he would definitely be reprimanded by the first regimental commander. Unexpectedly, the first regimental commander brushed it off with a casual dismissive gesture.

"Since the devil wants to be a rat, give him some extra ingredients tomorrow."

The fourth battalion commander looked at the first regiment commander in confusion.

"Commander, can we let our first battalion take over the battle of Madida tomorrow? We will ensure that we capture the Japanese Madida position."

A battalion commander stepped forward and asked for battle.

"No, let them complete the unfinished mission of the Fourth Battalion. I'll get some tear gas bombs from the brigade's logistics department later to smoke out these rats."

Then the captain called two guards over, wrote a note, handed it to them and said:

"Go to the brigade's logistics department to get some supplies. We'll need them tomorrow morning."

"Yes!" The guard saluted and hurried away.

Then the regimental commander assigned new tasks to the second and third battalions.

The fourth battalion commander also has a new task. Their battalion has to complete two combat missions tomorrow.
