Devil's Army

At this time, the Japanese launched a full-scale attack on the first regiment. Mortar shells kept hitting the first fortification from all directions.

These fortifications made of sand and earth could not defend against artillery fire at all. When a shell was fired, both the people and the sandbags were blown away.

The second line of fortifications was also built. The second battalion deployed along the second line of fortifications and also participated in blocking the Japanese. The third battalion served as a reserve force and stayed in the innermost part of the fortifications with the regiment headquarters, and did not participate in the battle for the time being.

The Japanese bullets rained down on the first line of fortification from all directions, and the artillery shells hit the first line of fortification accurately.

Soldiers from the first battalion kept falling down, and the gaps created by the artillery shells were quickly filled by the soldiers next to them.

The Japanese continued to attack the first line of fortification with high intensity and fierceness. The first battalion firmly controlled the first line of fortification with its superb marksmanship. However, although the first line of fortification was still under the control of the first battalion, the number of soldiers in the first battalion was decreasing.

With another round of fierce artillery bombardment from the Japanese, the regiment commander had to order the first battalion to shrink its defense line and retreat into the second line of fortifications to resist the Japanese together with the second battalion.

The Japs' attacks had not weakened, and the strength of the first and second battalions had been decreasing.

"The third battalion goes up and replaces the first and second battalions." The first and second battalions were fighting very hard, so the regiment commander asked the third battalion to go over and replace them so that the first and second battalions could rest temporarily.

The Japs' attack intensity has not weakened since the beginning. The mortar shells have caused heavy casualties to the Third Battalion.

"Commander, we can't keep fighting like this. If we continue like this, our entire regiment will be killed here." The third battalion commander ran back from the second fortification and said.

The leader knew the outcome of the fight. All he could think about was breaking out! Breaking out! Breaking out!

In fact, not only the Jackals had their eyes on this supply station of the Japanese, but Gray Wolf's special forces had also set their eyes on this supply station. However, Gray Wolf was more careful. He remembered the license plates of the Japanese trucks that delivered supplies. He calculated the time of the trucks' round trips. If they came from Shenyang or Kaiyuan, the time would not match. But if they came from Tieling, Tieling could not have so many supplies. So he and several special forces kept watching nearby.

He was also surprised when the 1st Regiment of the 5th Brigade exchanged fire with the Japs, and he quickly contacted the Jackals.

Only then did he know that a regiment from the 5th Brigade had been ordered to blow up the ghost's supply station.

Gray Wolf assured Jackal that the Japanese supply station was a trap. Judging from the intensity of the battle between the two sides, the Japanese at the supply station were not a battalion, but a regiment. At the same time, he ordered a special forces member next to him to go back immediately and bring all the special forces members over.

The Jackal was also shocked after hearing this, and quickly ordered the Fifth Brigade and the First Brigade to move closer to the First Regiment.

But since the Japs have set a trap to eliminate this sneak attacking devil army, how could they let you defeat them so easily?

The jackals sent five regiments from the first and fifth brigades into battle one after another, but they were unable to break the tight blockade of the Japanese. The losses of the troops were even greater than those in the entire Weichang battle.

At this time, the Japanese suddenly stopped firing, and a Japanese interpreter shouted to the regiment, asking everyone in the regiment to lay down their weapons and surrender. Give them half an hour to think about it, otherwise they will be killed.

Surrender is impossible. There has been no such thing as surrender since the establishment of the First Anti-Japanese Army.

A regiment commander used this half hour to hold a meeting of company-level and above cadres.

The cadres at the meeting all believed that only the plan of the third battalion commander had a glimmer of hope. Continuing to defend or dispersing to break out would both lead to a dead end.

The captain said with a heavy heart:

"You are all soldiers I trained. I watched you rise from soldiers to squad leaders, and then to squad leaders. After the transformation of the troops, you became company commanders and battalion commanders. Who should be sent to carry out this mission of luring the enemy?"

The three battalion commanders all rushed to take on this mission of luring the enemy and committing suicide.

Finally, the three battalion commanders said:

"Captain, I proposed this plan. Let our Third Battalion take over. What's more, we left a platoon at the brigade headquarters, which can be regarded as a spark for our Third Battalion."

The commander of the first regiment nodded, tacitly agreeing to the third battalion commander to accept the mission of luring the enemy.

"Commander, I have another request. I wonder if you can agree to it." The third battalion commander continued.

"You talk."

"Xiaoshanzi, Xiaoshanzi." The third battalion commander shouted towards the second fortification.

A short soldier ran over and asked, "Uncle Yao, are you looking for me?"

The third battalion commander nodded and pushed Xiaoshanzi in front of the first regiment commander.

"Captain, my eldest brother was a member of the Anti-Japanese United Army. That year, he was caught by the Japanese due to betrayal by a traitor. The Japanese massacred our village. My eldest brother, his wife, my second brother, my third sister and my parents were all unable to escape the clutches of the Japanese. Xiao Shanzi and I happened to be hunting in the mountains, so we escaped this disaster. I have nothing to worry about, but I am worried about Xiao Shanzi. He is still young, only fifteen years old. Can you help me take him out?"

"Fifteen is not old enough to join the army? Did you use a backdoor?"

The third battalion commander smiled sheepishly and said, "I was a squad leader at the time and used some connections."

The regiment commander touched Xiao Shanzi's head and nodded solemnly to the third battalion commander.

"Uncle Yao, I'm not going anywhere. I want to follow you. I will follow you even if I die." Xiao Shanzi cried.

At this time, half an hour had passed and the Japs began to attack again.

The third battalion commander yelled at Xiao Shanzi, "Go."

The captain waved his hand, and a guard next to him carried Xiaoshanzi away.

"Third Battalion, follow me!"

The commander of the third battalion led the soldiers of the third battalion to attack fiercely in the direction they came from.

The third battalion commander led his soldiers to shoot and throw grenades at the same time. With less than a battalion of people, they managed to put up a powerful fight with the momentum of two Sugas.

The Japanese thought that the 1st regiment was trying to break out, so they quickly surrounded it from the east where the third battalion commander was attacking.

Twenty minutes later, a regimental commander led the remaining troops to quickly break out to the west.

Since there were many Japanese soldiers surrounding the First Regiment, and there were many Japanese soldiers in each direction, although the Japanese soldiers in other directions had gone to surround the Third Battalion in the east, there were still many Japanese soldiers left in the west. The First Regiment was unable to break through for a while.

If they fail to break out within twenty minutes and the Japanese who are besieging the Third Battalion Commander come back, then the regiment will be completely unable to break out.

A regiment commander quickly organized a death squad of thirty people, with ten people in each team. One team was responsible for attacking forward, and two teams were responsible for attacking on both wings.

A regiment commander said to the suicide squad: "Comrades, we must take more Japanese with us before we die. Now follow me..."

Before the regiment commander could finish his words, the deputy regiment commander pulled him down and said to his comrades, "Follow me now!"

The suicide squad members followed the deputy commander and rushed forward desperately, throwing grenades.

At this time, fierce gunfire was heard from behind the Japanese troops who were blocking the west, and Gray Wolf and the special forces team also rushed over.
