Devil's Army

Liushukou was once a place where the Japanese and puppet troops had their main entrenchment. They built fortifications, bunkers and established strongholds here.

After Jincheng City was recaptured by the First Army, these fortifications and bunkers were occupied by the First Army.

When the Japanese army arrived at Guxing Road in Zhongcun, they were blocked by the 1st Regiment of the Jidong Independent Brigade and the 8th Regiment of the 3rd Military Division of the Eighth Route Army.

The Jidong Independent Brigade set up artillery positions on the top of Gujingdao Mountain.

Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese army came to Nanbei Village outside Liushukou in a menacing manner and was resisted by a small group of Eighth Route Army troops.

The Japanese tanks fired a volley of shots and the machine guns fired fiercely, and the small group of Eighth Route Army quickly retreated.

When the Japanese army pursued to the vicinity of Xiaodongpo, they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.

When the Japanese artillery bombarded the Eighth Route Army's positions, the Eighth Route Army soldiers had already fled.

When the Japanese army pursued to Nanhedi Village, they were ambushed by an Eighth Route Army unit.

The Japanese army suffered repeated surprise attacks and took out their anger on this Eighth Route Army unit.

The artillery did not launch a bombing, and the infantry launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army positions under the cover of machine guns.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers were in a dominant position and fired fiercely at the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army's fierce attack was repelled and they immediately called for artillery support.

When the Eighth Route Army saw the Japanese artillery start bombing, they immediately retreated.

The Japanese army continued to pursue and chased them to Liushukou.

At this time, a devil army blocked their way forward.

As soon as the Japanese commander saw the soldiers of the devil unit, he immediately became furious and ordered his troops to advance and destroy this devil unit.

When the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were covering the infantry in attacking the devil troops, suddenly a rumbling explosion was heard behind them.

The entrance to Liushukou collapsed due to the explosion, and the pouring mud and rocks blocked the Japanese army's retreat.

The Japanese commander outside Liushukou felt something was wrong.

At this time, the sound of two 150mm howitzers and four small mountain guns came.

The shells landed accurately on the Japanese soldiers trapped inside the willow tree.

The Japanese soldiers in Liushukou were frantically looking for shelter from the bombardment, but they were blown away along with the earth by the explosive howitzer shells.

The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in Liushukou were also destroyed by howitzers.

The tanks that exploded blew away all the surrounding Japanese troops.

At this time, the First Army Air Force, which had been nearby, also flew over and launched a fierce strafing and bombing attack on the Japanese troops outside Liushukou.

The Japanese commander, realizing he had been tricked, entered the ambush of the Devil Unit and the Eighth Route Army and wanted to use artillery to cover his troops' retreat. However, the Devil Unit's air force kept bombing, and their artillery dared not fire.

Half an hour later, the artillery of the First Army's Jidong Independent Brigade stopped bombing.

In the afternoon, the Japanese troops outside Liushukou finally dug through the blocked path, but the path inside Liushukou was already in ruins.

The Japanese soldiers gasped when they saw this scene. Everywhere they looked were the broken limbs of Japanese soldiers.

The ground was also stained brown and black by the blood.

The destroyed tanks and armored vehicles were still burning.

The flames that had not yet been extinguished were dancing in the bushes on both sides of the path, and the sound of "crackling" could be heard from time to time.

At this time, the artillery positions of the Jidong Independent Brigade sounded again.

Shells fell one after another on the Japanese troops entering the Liushukou path.

The Japanese commander, who had lost all fighting spirit, quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat and set up camp outside Liushukou.
