Devil's Army

The Second Regiment Commander knew that the Second Parachute Battalion was resisting the attack of the Japanese airport guard force on its own, and had been urging the main force to rush over to reinforce.

When the 2nd Parachute Battalion was engaged in a tug-of-war with the Japanese airport guard force, the 2nd Regiment Commander rushed over with three battalions of the 2nd Regiment and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese airport guard force from both sides.

The Japanese airport guards were unable to hold out and retreated to the airport.

The three battalions of the Second Regiment and the Second Parachute Battalion followed closely behind, chased into Nanyuan Airport, and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

Soon after, the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment repelled the Japanese railway guards and gendarmerie, and rushed to Nanyuan Airport to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese airport guards.

After nearly three hours of fierce fighting, the troops of the Second Regiment and the Second Parachute Battalion wiped out the Japanese guards at Nanyuan Airport.

Eight Japanese fighter planes that forcibly took off from Nanyuan Airport were also shot down by the First Army's fighter planes.

The fall of Nanyuan Airport left the Japanese troops in Peiping completely isolated and helpless.

In order to reinforce the troops in Peking and Tianjin, the Japanese army arranged a fleet with supplies to dock at Tianjin Port.

After receiving intelligence, the Second Air Force Squadron of the First Army rushed out in full force to bomb the Japanese fleet.

Violent explosions were heard again on the sea and in the air of Tianjin Port.

Under the full-scale bombing of the Second Air Group of the First Army, the Japanese fleet was unable to dock to unload strategic materials.

Thus, without stable support, the Japanese troops in Peking and Tianjin fought fiercely for nearly a week against the five and a half brigades of the First Army, nearly 5 men. Not only were the Japanese troops in Peking short of ammunition and supplies, but those in Tianjin were also beginning to run low.

The soldiers of the Second Brigade and the Yidong Independent Brigade moved like ants, continuously recovering the territory of Peking occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army in Peiping had less and less strategic room for maneuver.

That night, the moon was waning and the stars were sparse.

Suddenly, the roar of an airplane was heard over Peking.

Upon receiving the intelligence, the Xiaoguanzhuang Air Force immediately took off to intercept.

When they arrived over the city of Peking, two Japanese bombers were dropping supplies to their troops.

The Japanese bombers apparently also discovered the First Army's pointed fighter planes, and hurriedly dropped all the supplies and quickly escaped.

The fighter planes of the First Army stepped on the throttle, quickly caught up, and shot down the two Japanese bombers.

Because the Japanese bombers dropped supplies in a hurry and panic, a lot of supplies were dropped into the First Army's defense zone.

This made the Japanese major in Peiping so angry that he cursed.

Japanese bombers risked being shot down to deliver supplies to their troops, which shows that the Japanese troops in Peiping were extremely short of supplies.

On the one hand, Gray Wolf ordered his troops to strengthen the blockade of the Japanese army in Peiping from the outside world, and on the other hand, he attacked the Japanese guard forces that were short of ammunition.

Some lost territories in Peking were gradually recovered by soldiers from the Second Brigade and the Yidong Independent Brigade.

In order to prevent the Japanese from becoming desperate and perishing together with them, Gray Wolf also sent people to call out to the Japanese troops in Peiping, asking them to lay down their arms and surrender, and the First Anti-Japanese Army could leave a passage for them to evacuate Peiping safely.

However, the Japanese army, which had received supply replenishment, remained stubborn and refused to surrender.

The failure to recapture Peking had made the Second Brigade Commander, Gao, the Commander of the Jidong Independent Brigade, and Li, the Commander of the Third Brigade, which later entered Peking, anxious.

Gray Wolf advised them not to be impatient, as they would not be able to get anything done if they were impatient, because as long as the air blockade was strengthened, the Japanese army's situation would become increasingly unfavorable as time went on.
