Devil's Army

In the evening, before dinner, the artillery battalion commander rushed to the outskirts of the military camp dragging two 150mm howitzers.

The soldiers of the Third Brigade, who had stopped attacking, regrouped and prepared to launch another attack.

"Boom!" A deafening artillery sound rang out, and two rows of Japanese military camps, along with the soldiers around him, all disappeared.

Then two more artillery shots were heard, and the wall at the main entrance of the military camp was blown away along with the Japanese soldiers.

"Charge, recapture Andong City!" The battalion commander sounded the charge, and the soldiers of the first battalion of the third brigade charged at the Japanese military camp from the front and both sides.

The few Japanese soldiers who were there originally suffered many more casualties in the bombardment of the 150mm howitzer just now.

The soldiers of the Third Brigade rushed into the barracks and shot the remaining Japanese soldiers and wounded soldiers.

When the naval battle on the sea of ​​Andong City stopped, the fighting in Andong City also gradually stopped.

In this battle, the Huludao Navy captured five more Japanese warships. After all the damaged warships were repaired and put into service, the Huludao Navy would surpass the Hainan Island Navy in terms of numbers.

With the recovery of Andong City, Dalian City was the only one left in the four northeastern provinces in the hands of the Japanese army.

The call for the First Anti-Japanese Army, especially the veterans in Northeast China, to recapture Dalian City is growing louder and louder.

Leng Feng did not strike while the iron was hot and take back the city of Dalian.

Firstly, the Golden Eagle 5's cruise missiles were almost exhausted in this battle.

Secondly, the Huludao Navy had fought two consecutive naval battles, and many of its warships were damaged to varying degrees and needed to be rushed back to the dock for repairs.

The fall of Andong City made the Japanese troops in Dalian live in fear of being attacked by the devil's army at any time.

On the one hand, they increased the use of warships to transport strategic materials, and on the other hand, they stepped up the capture of anti-Japanese elements in Dalian to prevent the devil's forces from colluding internally and externally.

Dalian was in a state of white terror for a time, with everyone feeling insecure. Ordinary people with connections fled to the nearby cities of Andong and Anshan.

Brigade Commander Yi and Brigade Commander Li requested to fight again and recapture the city of Dalian.

Leng Feng refused again.

Dalian is known as the largest seaport in Northeast China, with more army and navy forces than the combined forces of Andong and Yingkou.

Currently, only a little over twenty Golden Eagle V cruise missiles have been produced, less than half the number at the start of the Yingkou Campaign. This is far from enough to deal with the massive Japanese naval presence in Dalian. However, the Japanese forces in Dalian cannot be allowed to act recklessly.

The Fengtian Air Force and the Jinzhou Air Force frequently carried out air strikes on Japanese strongholds, military camps and warships in Dalian, keeping the Japanese army on edge.

The bombing of Japanese strongholds, military camps and some military facilities in Dalian was relatively smooth, with almost no resistance encountered.

When bombing the Japanese headquarters provided by the Eighth Route Army's underground liaison, they were intercepted by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units. The Fengtian Air Force lost one fighter and two bombers.

When the Jinzhou Air Force bombed Japanese warships off the sea near Dalian, they were intensively intercepted by the Japanese warships' air defense forces.

The Japanese also dispatched several Type 21 Zero fighters to participate in the battle, but they were all shot down by the Chinese Type and Type fighters, which had advantages in both numbers and performance.

This time, the Jinzhou Air Force carried out a large-scale bombing of Japanese warships in Dalian, and as many as 14 aircraft were damaged or shot down.

Although not a single Japanese warship was sunk, several were damaged, and the attack successfully drew the attention of the Japanese army in Dalian to the air force, facilitating the operations of the army and the 1st Aviation Group.
