Devil's Army

At six o'clock the next morning, the reconnaissance team sent a telegram: more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops and five tanks were coming to the right. No enemy was found in the middle, and there were more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops on the left.

The jackal immediately drafted a telegram: First, five tanks and more than 20,000 devils and puppet troops are rushing towards the right, and more than 10,000 devils and puppet troops are also found on the left.

Second, the two newly captured 100mm caliber howitzers can be used to deal with the Japanese tanks.

Third, find four or five artillery positions in advance, and fire at most two rounds from each position before withdrawing.

Then he handed it to the 41st Army's telegraph operator and ordered her to send the message as soon as possible. He was responsible for attacking the enemy's right wing, while the th Brigade was responsible for attacking the enemy's left wing.

Soon, the roar of the Japanese tanks could be clearly heard. Two 100mm howitzer shells whistled in the paddock. One of the two howitzer shells that were meant to blow up the tanks landed more than meters in front of the tanks, raising a cloud of dust. The other shell did its job and flew to the Japanese rear guard, killing and wounding more than Japanese soldiers.

Commander Sun was standing at the artillery position with great interest, wanting to see the power of the newly captured guns. Who knew he would see such a result? He cursed:

"Damn it, where are you shooting at? Shoot the tanks, shoot the enemy tanks!"

"Reporting to the army commander, I was aiming at the Japanese tanks, but the shells did not hit where I aimed, and there was nothing I could do." The artillery company commander said helplessly.

When General Sun heard his explanation, he was furious. Just as he was about to start scolding, Chief of Staff Wu who came with him said:

"Sir, our artillery lacks shells and cannons, and is seriously under-trained. This is understandable."

Commander Sun thought about it and ordered his adjutant: "Send a telegram and ask the First Army to send artillery to assist us. Artillery, move to the next position immediately."

After saying this, Commander Sun turned around and left without looking back.

When the jackal saw the two shells fired by the 41st Army, he was speechless. He said to Chen Dongbei: "Where are they trying to bomb?"

"They probably wanted to blow up the tank, but their accuracy was a little off." Chen Dongbei said with a smile.

"Is this just a little bit off? This is a million miles off. Don't wait to drop a bomb on us."

At this time, the 41st Army's telegraph operator brought a telegram.

After reading the telegram, the Jackal shook his head and said, "With such military qualities, defeating the Japanese depends entirely on luck." Then he told the messenger to ask the artillery company commander to bring two people to the enclosure to assist the artillery of the 41st Army.

At this time, the enemy tanks roared past them. The jackals did not take action. With their makeshift fortifications, a tank charge could pass through their defenses. And they had no weapons to attack tanks, so they could only be pinned to the ground by the enemy. He had to wait for the 41st Army to blow up the enemy tanks first.

The Japanese tanks opened fire. A shell hit the 41st Army's fortifications. Some soldiers of the 41st Army were blown up into the sky by the tank bombs, and then fell heavily. The Japanese infantry followed the tanks and charged towards the enclosure.

The Japanese artillery in the rear also began to bombard, and the 41st Army's artillery positions were plowed by the Japanese artillery shells. Fortunately, they had already evacuated, otherwise these guns and artillery would have been scrapped.

The distance was close enough, and the soldiers of the 41st Army began to block the attack. They used their flesh and blood to desperately block the attack under the enemy's artillery fire. From time to time, soldiers of the 41st Army or their limbs were blown out of the fortifications by bombs.

In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, every victory in a battle was built with the blood and flesh of the soldiers.

The jackal kept staring at the direction of the enclosure. At this time, two 100mm grenades finally whistled towards the Japanese tanks.

The front armor of the Japanese tank in front was hit by a grenade. The huge shock wave of the explosion made the tank vibrate and fall flat. The driver in the car shook his dizzy head and cursed "Bage Yalu!" Then he covered his chest and tried to catch his breath. After taking a few breaths, he got his breath back and started the engine again. The tank roared again.

Before the tank could drive away, another grenade was fired at it. The top of the tank's tower was immediately blown to pieces, and the driver and passengers inside all received lunch boxes on the spot.

The tank to the left of this tank was hit on the track by the first howitzer attack and lay flat on the spot. It could only stay there and be used as a gun. But before this gun could fire many rounds, the second howitzer attack also hit its tower cover. The driver and crew in the tank were all killed.

The battalion commander who had assisted the 41st Army artillery fired two rounds of artillery and then immediately ordered the artillery to withdraw. Their artillery was no match for the enemy's artillery.

The 41st Army's artillery had just withdrawn, and before they had gone far, the enemy's artillery shells whistled towards where they had just been.

The artillerymen of the 41st Army said with lingering fear: "Captain, it's a good thing we have you, otherwise we would all be doomed."

The company commander smiled and ordered them: "Go to the third position immediately."

Two of the five Japanese tanks in front of the battlefield were destroyed at once, and they were no longer as reckless as before. They waited until their artillery fire had ploughed the enemy's position before continuing to charge forward with their infantry.

The Japanese tanks were close enough, and their infantry began to charge fiercely.

The machine gunners of the 41st Army desperately fired in the fortifications to stop the Japanese infantry. But as soon as their firing points appeared, the Japanese artillery fire covered them accurately. The machine gunners basically could not last more than ten minutes.

But as long as the machine gun was not destroyed, if the machine gunner died, another person would immediately take his place. The machine gun continued to roar until it was also blown up into the sky.

The men of the 1st Brigade all looked at the jackals, for the enclosure was in imminent danger.
