Devil's Army

Although the appearance of the Fengtian Air Force scared off the Japanese artillery, it did not cause much substantial damage to the Japanese Dalian artillery and Shimenzi positions in the bombing.

Because the Japanese army had been fighting with the devil troops for a long time, they had developed a way to prevent air raids. Their artillery positions and Shimenzi positions were located in dense woods, making it difficult for air force to detect them from the air.

It was a good thing that the Japanese artillery did not dare to open fire. The vanguard company of the 1st regiment continued to attack the Japanese Shimenzi position.

The infantry covered the machine gunners and rocket soldiers and slowly crawled towards the Shimenzi position.

Machine gunners supported infantry and rocket troops as they approached the Shimenzi position.

The regiment commander also arranged two Golden Eagle 4 drones to approach and suppress the Japanese firepower points.

Under the powerful air-to-ground firepower of the First Army, the Japanese troops in Shimenzi finally retreated, but the first regiment's vanguard company also paid the price of more than half its casualties.

The soldiers of the first and second regiments arrived at Daheishan Mountain City in the afternoon. The terrain here was even more dangerous.

The Liaodong Chronicles records that it is "precipitous on all four sides, with only the south side accessible for climbing."

For thousands of years, the Daheishan Mountain City, built on the mountain, has been a strategic location on the peninsula. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It controls the gateway to Dalian and has been a strategic location that military strategists have fought for since ancient times.

The Japanese artillery withdrawn from Shimenzi joined forces with the artillery originally stationed at Daheishan Mountain City, and took turns to fiercely bombard the soldiers of the Second Regiment who were attacking the city.

When the Fengtian Air Force flew over, the Japanese artillery observers immediately issued a warning and they immediately stopped firing.

This made the Fengtian Air Force feel like they were punching cotton, unable to exert any force.

When the Japanese artillery did not fire, the soldiers of the first company of the second regiment accelerated their attack on the Daheishan Mountain City. However, the only road leading to the Daheishan Mountain City was full of natural stones and mountain nests.

Japanese machine gunners were lying in ambush at corners, behind rocks, and in mountain dens, and they fiercely fired at the soldiers of the First Company of the Second Regiment who were climbing up.

Soldiers in the company were shot one after another and rolled down the mountain.

The fierce battle continued until the evening, and the Second Regiment failed to break through the Daheishan mountain city.

At this time, the attacks of the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 3rd Brigade from the direction of Anshan City and the 1st Brigade from the direction of Yingkou City were also not going smoothly.

The second regiment commander looked at the smoke still rising from the mountain and was really at a loss as to what to do.

The commander of the first battalion suggested that he lead his soldiers on a night attack, but the commander of the second regiment disagreed. He pointed out:

"During the daytime attack, we will find that the small road leading to the Daheishan Mountain City is full of visible and hidden sentries. Without knowing the locations of these visible and hidden sentries, it would be a fool's dream to successfully reach the Japanese Daheishan positions."

"We can't take it by force, and a surprise attack won't work either. So, Commander, what do you think we should do?" a battalion commander shouted anxiously.

The second captain did not respond. If he had a solution, why would he be worrying here?

At this time, a cold wind blew from the top of the mountain, and the captain raised his collar.

He looked around and found that the soldiers had lowered their heads and lay under the rocks to block the wind.

He recalled the cold wind during the day and came up with an idea. He immediately called the officer in charge of logistics over.

The officer in charge of logistics trotted over to the regimental commander and asked:

"Captain, what are your instructions?"

"You must immediately arrange a transport team to return to the warehouse to deliver point XXXXX." The second regiment commander whispered in the ear of the logistics officer.

"Captain, have you come up with any good plan?"

The Second Captain nodded and said:

"Just wait and see how I take over this Black Mountain City tomorrow."
