Devil's Army

A lot of the Japanese artillery was destroyed by the Devil Forces' air force in yesterday's attack, and now their firepower is weak.

And now the devil army's air force is bombing them from the air from time to time, and the artillery doesn't dare to fire at all.

The infantry launched two large-scale attacks, but they were unsuccessful due to the fierce shooting of the Devil Forces and the Eighth Route Army on the mountain stronghold, and the bombing of the Devil Forces' air force in the air.

Looking at the Japanese troops in the valley, Brigade Commander Li of the Third Brigade suddenly came up with an idea.

He immediately reported to the brigade commander, who quickly replied: Agreed, take action at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Soon, the Logistics Department of the First Army sent wet towels to the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Third Brigade and the Fourth Regiment of the Third Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers looked at the towels in confusion, not knowing what to do.

The commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army learned the Third Brigade's plan from the signalman of the Second Regiment Commander of the Third Brigade and passed on the order:

When we launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, everyone will cover their faces with wet towels, leaving only their eyes exposed.

When the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army heard that they were going to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army, they immediately forgot their previous doubts.

Around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the First Army's air force roared in again.

The Japanese soldiers, who were already accustomed to air raids, quickly hid in the bushes on both sides.

Then, bombs fell from the sky one after another.

What puzzled the Japanese army was that the explosions of these bombs were not loud, and after the bombs exploded, yellow-green smoke squeaking out of the tail.

In a short while, the entire valley was shrouded in yellow-green smoke.

Some Japanese officers and soldiers shouted in panic: "The devil troops are launching poison gas bombs!..."

The Japanese officers and soldiers were choked to the point of tears and snot running down their faces, and they could hardly open their eyes.

The Japanese commander retreated quickly under the escort of his guards.

He didn't expect that these devil army soldiers were so crazy, because these poisonous gases could backfire on the devil army's own soldiers at any time.

When the Third Brigade Commander saw that the Japanese troops were retreating, he immediately ordered a full-scale counterattack.

The loud charge horn sounded, and the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Third Brigade and the Fourth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, with wet towels wrapped around their faces, pounced fiercely on the retreating Japanese troops like tigers descending from the mountains.

Despite being wrapped in wet towels, the soldiers of the Third Brigade and the Eighth Route Army still felt uncomfortable in their eyes and tears were streaming down their faces.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers had no intention of fighting and were retreating step by step.

The soldiers of the Third Brigade and the Eighth Route Army chased the Japanese army out of the valley.

At this time, the First Army Air Force launched strafing and bombing on the retreating Japanese troops in the air.

The Japanese troops, who were bombed and pursued, maintained their formation and retreated to Jiaozuo, Henan, under alternating cover.

Rushed out of the valley and escaped from the yellow-green smoke.

The soldiers of the Third Brigade and the Eighth Route Army untied their wet towels and began to breathe heavily.

While catching their breath, the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers asked the officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade: "What kind of bomb did you just drop? Why do my eyes and throat hurt so much?"

"That's a new tear gas bomb developed by our arsenal. It's unpleasant, but not fatal. You'll be fine soon once you get out of the smoke."

"That was enough to give the Japs a hard time."

"If they don't leave, they can continue to enjoy it!" said the officers and soldiers of the Third Brigade with a smile.

The Japanese troops at Tianjing Pass were repelled, and a third group of Japanese troops in Jiaozuo launched an attack on Jincheng City from Liushukou.

Liushukou, Shanxi Province is located in the southeast of Zezhou County, Jincheng City, at the southern end of Taihang Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains and has complex terrain.

There are Malang Mountain, Guan Mountain, Shengwang Mountain, Guai Mountain, etc. in the territory.

The mountainous terrain makes the area have high mountains and deep valleys, ravines and gullies, and rugged roads, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
