Devil's Army

Leng Feng had already taken this into consideration when the Japanese army planned to retreat westward.

While the 4th Brigade was attacking Qiqihar, he also ordered the 12th Brigade to intensify its attack on Hulunbuir City, preparing to block the Japanese army from advancing westward from Qiqihar's Nianzi Mountain area or Longjiang County to Butha Banner in Hulunbuir City (the area around present-day Zhalantun City in Hulunbuir).

The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the 4th Brigade temporarily stopped their attack after their tanks were destroyed.

As soon as the brigade's artillery arrived, it launched a fierce bombardment on the "Big Black Bag" and the Japanese troops behind it.

Many of the trenches the Japanese had just built collapsed in the explosions, and the Japanese soldiers were left screaming and howling. However, the reinforced concrete "big black bag" only had some concrete blocks blown off the surface.

"Commander, what should we do? I didn't expect this black bunker to be so resistant to explosions!" asked the artillery battalion commander.

"Do you have any good ideas?" the second captain asked.

"Use the 150mm howitzer, but it must directly hit the top of the bunker tower, which is unlikely."

"Then if I mention it, it's the same as not mentioning it at all, right?"

The artillery battalion commander scratched his head embarrassedly.

If the 150mm howitzer had directly hit the top of the "big black bag", he would have been confident that it would have shattered the concrete and steel bars inside. However, with only a few square meters of the top and at such a long distance, a direct hit would have been extremely difficult.

Moreover, the 150th Brigade does not have mm howitzers at present, so they must be transported from the rear.

Considering that Qiqihar would be Heilongjiang Province's last battle against the Japanese invaders, Wang Zhuangfei ordered two 150mm howitzers to be transferred from the rear.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, two 150mm howitzers arrived at the artillery position of the th Brigade.

At the command of the artillery battalion commander, the Japanese position was blown to pieces, but the "big black bag" was only affected by some cement blocks.

When the soldiers launched another attack on the "Big Black Bag" and the Japanese troops behind it, they were again met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese troops in the "Big Black Bag".

At this time, Wang Zhuangfei rearranged two tanks to support the infantry attack.

The tanks rumbled along the way, crushing the mud filled with the smell of gunpowder and firing at the Japanese army all the way.

Suddenly, the Japanese Type 47mm anti-tank gun, which was easy to move, fired again.

Two tanks were destroyed one after another on the way forward.

The artillery of the 4th Brigade then launched a counter-suppression bombing, but no one could guarantee whether the Japanese anti-tank guns had been moved.

Wang Zhuangfei was really helpless at this time.

He stared at the roaring "big black bag" in the cold wind, thinking hard about how to deal with it.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the smoke drifting towards the "big black bag". He came up with an idea and asked the soldiers to get some tear gas bombs.

After the tear gas bomb exploded near the "Big Black Bag", beige smoke continued to shoot towards the archway of the "Big Black Bag".

The Japanese soldiers in the big black bag and the Japanese soldiers in the defense line behind were shocked. They did not expect that the devil army would dare to use "poison gas bombs".

What surprised them even more was that the soldiers of the Devil Army only used simple masks to cover their mouths and noses before launching the attack.

The Japanese commander knew that the loss of the defense line was a matter of time, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat.

The Japanese soldiers in the "big black bag" had no way to retreat, so they had to endure the pain and shoot at the soldiers of the Second Regiment. However, their constant tears and involuntary blinking greatly affected their shooting accuracy.
