Devil's Army

As soon as the air raid by the Majiagou Air Force stopped, tanks immediately covered the infantry and launched an attack on Jining County.

The Japanese troops in Jining County were simply unable to withstand the ferocious air-to-ground mechanized attack of the First Army. They could not even hold out for half an hour and had to retreat to Mishan County in Dong'an Province (a province established by the puppet Manchukuo, not recognized by the Republic of China).

This time, the 7th Brigade concentrated 24 tanks, preparing to learn from Germany's blitzkrieg and fight a quick battle.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Seventh Brigade followed the tanks, split into two groups, pursued the victory, and attacked Mishan County and Hulin County in one go.

Soon they defeated the Japanese defense lines in Mishan County and Hulin County, and continued to drive the Japanese troops towards the Soviet border.

The defeated Japanese troops in Jining County and the Japanese defenders in Mishan County and Hulin County retreated to the Soviet border and did not retreat further.

If we retreat further, we will enter the Soviet border and may be captured by the Soviet Red Army at any time.

They relied on the collapsed fortifications to resist stubbornly, trying to stop the attack of the 7th Brigade. However, the Japanese army, lacking offensive tanks, had no way to resist the "iron torrent" of the 7th Brigade.

The tanks of the 7th Brigade quickly rushed into the Japanese positions and ignored the fleeing Japanese troops.

Some Japanese soldiers were directly crushed into minced meat by the tank tracks, mixed with mud and dripping with blood.

The remaining Japanese soldiers ran as fast as they could, fleeing into Soviet territory.

The Second Regiment of the Seventh Brigade won its first battle of the new year, driving the Japanese troops in Jining County, Mishan County and Hulin County out of the Chinese border.

After the battle, the Second Regiment commander assigned soldiers to garrison the border and the three counties. The tank battalion was also transferred to Suihua City in the northwest.

Wang Zhuangfei also handed over the defense of Qitaihe and Linkou counties to the Seventh Brigade, and the main force gathered in Suihua City to prepare for the attack on Daqing, Qiqihar and Heihe.

The Japanese troops in these three places were facing a formidable enemy and kept building fortifications to prepare for resisting the attack of the devil's troops.

At noon the next day, the tank battalion arrived in Suihua City.

Just when the Japanese army thought that the devil troops were about to launch a full-scale attack on Daqing, Qiqihar and Heihe, Wang Zhuangfei did not move.

Just when the Japanese army was unable to figure out Wang Zhuangfei's idea, at six o'clock the next morning, soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 7th Brigade, under the cover of a tank company, launched a fierce attack on Daqing, where the Japanese army's defense was relatively weak.

The Japanese troops who retreated to Qiqihar learned that the Devil Army had raided Daqing. They were worried that the Devil Army would attack Qiqihar from two directions from Daqing and Suihua City, so they immediately sent reinforcements.

Soon after the Japanese reinforcements left Qiqihar, they were met with stubborn resistance from the First Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade.

Japanese reinforcements sent out artillery to fiercely bombard the positions of the First Battalion, which suffered heavy casualties and was in danger of being breached at any time.

At this critical moment, the Majiagou Air Force was ordered to rush to reinforce and fiercely bombed and strafed the Japanese reinforcements.

The Japanese artillery positions that did not have time to move were also bombed by the Majiagou Air Force.

With the strong support of the Majiagou Air Force, the First Battalion held the defense line and resisted the fierce attack of the Japanese reinforcements in Qiqihar.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 4th Brigade advanced rapidly under the cover of tanks, broke through the outer defense line of the Japanese army in Daqing, and were advancing deep into Daqing.

The artillery units of the Japanese army in Daqing were suppressed by the air force of the Devil Army. The Japanese Kwantung Army Air Force suffered a crushing defeat in the major air battle a few days ago and no longer had the capital to fight.

At this time, the Japanese army in Daqing had no weapons to resist the tank soldiers of the devil's army and could only retreat step by step.
