Devil's Army

After half a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Second Brigade, with the support of the air force, captured Huilong Temple and continued to advance deep into Peiping.

The troops soon arrived in Changxindian.

There is a Japanese military camp and the Wanping puppet police station here.

The Japanese army resisted step by step by relying on the streets, alleys and houses.

The regimental commander dispatched the Golden Eagle 4 drone to conduct close-range aerial reconnaissance. Once they found Japanese soldiers hiding in houses and on the corners of alleys and streets, they immediately opened fire.

This move left the Japanese army nowhere to hide, but they were powerless to do anything.

They could only wait for the devil soldiers to approach before suddenly shooting. But by this time the devil soldiers were already very close to them and soon started close combat with them.

In the evening, the troops of the Second Brigade occupied Changxindian.

After occupying Changxindian, the brigade commander called a meeting of officers above the rank of battalion commander:

"Changxindian is located at a transportation hub and has a very important strategic position. The Japanese army is likely to send reinforcements from the Fengtai direction to counterattack." The brigade commander said seriously.

A regimental commander suggested: "We can use the terrain of Changxindian to set up a defense line, while sending drones to continue reconnaissance and detect the movements of the Japanese army in advance."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, the soldiers quickly took action, deploying firepower at key roads and commanding heights.

At night, the moonlight was as frosty as frost. Suddenly, a drone sent back a message, discovering that the vanguard of the Japanese army was approaching Changxindian.

At the command of a regimental commander, the sound of gunfire broke out, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night.

The Japanese army was caught off guard by the sudden attack, but they quickly organized a counterattack.

The two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. Relying on favorable terrain and tenacious will, the soldiers of the Second Brigade repelled the Japanese counterattacks time and time again.

The flames of war lit up the night sky, and Changxindian once again became a battlefield filled with smoke. The soldiers of the Second Brigade held their positions and prevented the Japanese army from repeating the July 7 Incident.

The battle continued until daybreak, when the First Army's air force would soon join in. Suffering heavy casualties, the Japanese were forced to retreat.

After dawn, the soldiers of the Second Brigade continued to advance deep into Beijing.

When the troops reached the north slope of Zhaoxindian, they encountered resistance from the Japanese army again.

In order to prevent the anti-Japanese armed forces from attacking the center of Peking, the Japanese army built several bunkers on the north slope of Zhaoxindian.

Because the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters, the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Peiping, and the North China Expeditionary Force Military Police Headquarters were located in the urban area of ​​Peiping.

Although these bunkers could block the advance of the anti-Japanese armed forces, they had no effect on the First Army.

Under the intensive bombardment of the Second Brigade's tanks, the bunkers, like cancer, collapsed one after another.

Just as the soldiers of the Second Brigade launched a fierce attack on the northern slope of Zhaoxindian, a Type 1 47mm anti-tank gun hidden in the dark suddenly opened fire.

The four tanks charging in the front were destroyed one after another.

The soldiers of the Second Brigade next to the tanks were also subjected to heavy bombardment by Japanese artillery, resulting in heavy casualties.

When the First Army Air Force arrived, the Japanese artillery had stopped bombing and went into hiding.

After adjusting their deployment, the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment launched another fierce attack on the northern slope of Zhaoxindian.

The Japanese army's mortar shells and grenade launchers kept intercepting the follow-up troops of the regiment.

The light and heavy machine guns hidden behind the ruins opened fire at full force, fiercely strafing the soldiers of the second battalion.

The air force immediately launched bombing and strafing at the Japanese positions, but the Japanese would always emerge from new locations and strafing the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

The annoyed regimental commander dispatched two 150mm howitzers, ready to raze the Japanese positions in front.

At this time, they received an order from the commander of the second brigade: temporarily stop attacking the north slope of Zhaoxindian.
