Devil's Army

Division Commander Sakamoto retreated his troops to a place more than ten miles away from the enclosure and set up camp. At present, the morale of his soldiers was at its lowest point, and it was not suitable for charging again. However, the main force of his troops was still there, and he was unwilling to go back in disgrace. What should he do?

He ordered the Japanese troops on the left to withdraw temporarily, and called officers above the rank of battalion commander to hold a meeting to discuss strategies.

The Japanese attack on the left was not going well. When they were about to rush into the Chinese fortifications, a group of desperate Chinese soldiers rushed out of the fortifications with grenades and explosive packs. It was at that time that his three tanks were blown up by the Chinese army. The troops were also forced to withdraw.

Without the support of tanks, his troops never rushed so close to the fortifications again. This group of Chinese troops was different from the Northeast Army they had encountered before. They fought ruthlessly and without regard for their lives.

The other Japanese officers nodded in agreement.

The adjutant's voice came from the door: "Here comes the division commander Sakamoto."

All the Japanese officers in the conference room stood up and stood at attention to greet Division Commander Sakamoto.

Division Commander Sakamoto strode to the conference room table, looked at a group of Japanese officers who looked like they had lost their parents, and angrily cursed:

"What are you doing? You all look so dejected."

"Hi!" the Japanese officer responded mechanically.

"Isn't it just that the attack is not going well? What does it matter? Our main forces are still there, and we can still fight! Just stand up and have the meeting." After saying this, Division Commander Sakamoto sat at the table in front of the conference room.

"We can't go back like this, humiliated and without face. Let's not even think about conquering the enclosure, we should at least go back with dignity. Let's talk about how to regain our face."

The officers stood there at attention and started discussing the matter one by one.

Division Commander Sakamoto was not very satisfied. Then a battalion commander of the Kawagishi Regiment said:

"The main reason for our failure in this attack was the participation of the Devil's Army. We..."

After listening to this, Division Commander Sakamoto nodded, waved his hand and said, "You all sit down."

All the Japanese officers sat down in unison.

Division Commander Sakamoto was almost captured by the devil troops this time, so it would be more satisfying to destroy a devil unit than to destroy any number of 41st Army troops. He gave the order that the captain would be responsible for the implementation of this matter. Come up with a plan tonight, and then dispersed for a while and left without looking back.

Over the next few days, the Japanese confronted the 41st Army in Weichang, occasionally firing a few rounds of artillery but not launching any large-scale assaults.

However, the Golden Eagle discovered that there were Japanese military vehicles coming to deliver supplies on a small road every day. There was a large group of more than a thousand Japanese soldiers guarding the area, and the defense was quite strict.

Officers above the battalion level from the 1st Brigade and the 5th Brigade were holding meetings in the temporary operations room.

"It seems that the Japanese don't have enough supplies, so they haven't attacked the enclosure in the past few days. When they have gathered all the supplies, they will launch a large-scale attack on the enclosure."

The commander of the 1st Regiment of the 5th Brigade who had sneaked into the Sakamoto Division Headquarters last time continued to ask, "Then let's blow up his material supply station. What can they use to attack the enclosure? Let our regiment go in. Their garrison has a battalion of more than a thousand people, and our regiment also has more than a thousand people. We are not going to fight him to the death. We can just rush in and blow up the supply station and then withdraw."

The other regiment commanders also requested the order. Finally, the jackal decided that the 1st Regiment of the 5th Brigade should carry out the mission of tearing out the heart from the tiger's mouth.

That night, the regimental commander left all the heavy weapons and equipment of the regiment at the regimental headquarters and sent a platoon of soldiers from the third battalion to guard it. The other soldiers went lightly equipped and moved towards the Japanese supply station.

A regiment commander thought that the Japanese supply station must have heavy weapons and equipment. When the time comes, they can rush into the Japanese supply station, and each brother in the regiment will take a piece of the Japanese heavy weapon, and then blow up his supply station. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?

The regiment commander successfully reached the supply station, but was discovered by the Japanese when he entered the supply station. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides. The regiment commander led the soldiers into the supply station without much difficulty.

"Hurry, get the heavy weapons and blow it up." The regiment commander ordered hurriedly.

"Captain, something is wrong." A soldier shouted to the commander.

A regiment commander hurried over and saw the soldier lift the canvas covering the bag of "food" and cut open the bag of "food" with a bayonet. The bag was full of sand.

"We've been fooled." shouted a captain.

"Then let's quickly retreat along the original route?" said a battalion commander.

"It's too late. Everyone, hurry up and move the sand out, build fortifications, and prepare for battle."

The fortifications had not yet been completely built, and gunfire was heard from the direction they came from.

Everyone worked hard to build fortifications while fighting back against the Japanese.

The regimental commander asked everyone to build the first line of fortification as large as possible, and then arranged for the first battalion to deploy along this line of fortification. The others continued to build the second line of fortification behind this line of fortification.

At this time, gunshots were heard all around the supply station, and the group was completely surrounded by the Japanese.

Judging from the density of the Japanese gunfire, there were more than one battalion of Japanese troops surrounding them, but at least a regiment.

"How can the First Regiment break out of this regiment's encirclement?" The regiment commander took a moment to light a cigarette and thought in the innermost fortification.
