Devil's Army

Chapter 1823 Attack on Japanese Supply Depot in Hefei 2

The Japanese troops in Feidong County took a shortcut to reach the supply train of the Japanese troops in Hefei.

When the vanguard of the Japanese army in Feidong County passed through a small path in the middle of a chaotic attack post.

Soldiers from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions on both sides suddenly opened fire and threw grenades.

The Japanese vanguard suffered heavy casualties and quickly retreated.

The Japanese artillery reacted swiftly, immediately launching a fierce bombardment of the scattered graves on both sides of the path.

Since the artillery of the Second Regiment was deployed on the top of Shuangshan Mountain, the only heavy weapon that came with the Third and Fourth Battalions was 40 rockets.

Intense gunfire and explosions could still be heard from the direction of the Japanese supply corps. The Japanese artillery hastily ended its bombardment, and the infantry immediately launched a fierce attack.

When the Japanese infantry entered the path in the middle of the mass grave, the Japanese machine gunners lay on the ground and fiercely fired at the mass graves on both sides.

Rocket soldiers from the 3rd and 4th battalions lay prone behind the mass graves, calmly aiming at the Japanese machine gunners.

Four rockets, trailing flames, hurtled toward the Japanese machine gun position in quick succession.

In a series of explosions, four Japanese machine guns and their crews were blown away.

The machine gunners of the Second Regiment fired fiercely at the Japanese troops on the path.

Lacking machine gun cover, the Japanese troops were unable to mount a counterattack and were forced to retreat steadily.

However, time was of the essence. The Japanese commander forbade the infantry to retreat and instead dispatched another unit to attack the mass grave. Mortars provided cover from behind.

Accurate mortar shells hit the soldiers of the Second Regiment behind the mass grave, and also accidentally hit the Japanese soldiers who were attacking.

But at this point, both sides were blinded by rage and completely ignored the bombardment. Both sides fired bullets fiercely at each other, trying to tear the other's body apart and repel the attack.

Some Japanese troops who were close to the mass grave were forced back by a barrage of grenades.

The Japanese machine gunners who arrived later were destroyed by rocket troops.

The commander was truly exasperated by the resistance of the Second Regiment's soldiers. But even in defeat, the devilish troops' position still needed to be breached, as gunfire from the supply corps ahead continued to erupt.

However, the gunshots and explosions had become much weaker.

Knowing that the supply train was in imminent danger, the Japanese commander committed the majority of his forces to the attack, launching a full-scale assault on the elite troops not only from the front but also from both flanks.

The pressure on the 2nd Regiment, 3rd Battalion, and 4th Battalion has increased dramatically.

The battalion commander heard that the gunfire from the direction of the Japanese supply corps had become very faint, and knew that the first and second battalions had succeeded, so he ordered a retreat.

Upon hearing the gunfire gradually cease from the direction of the supply train, the Japanese commander urgently ordered his troops to accelerate their advance.

However, the Third and Fourth Battalions were not without their troubles.

When they encountered favorable terrain during their retreat, they immediately ambushed the Japanese troops, halting their advance and buying time for the First and Second Battalions to retreat.

The Japanese troops in Feidong County fought and retreated intermittently. When they arrived at the Japanese supply depot, there was nothing on the ground except for corpses scattered everywhere and still flickering flames.

The Japanese commander noticed the devilish troops retreating to the left from the wheel tracks and artillery ruts on the ground. He immediately ordered his soldiers to give chase.

The Japanese troops in Feidong County followed the wheel tracks all the way to Shuangshan Pass.

By this time, the soldiers of the first and second battalions had already hidden the Japanese army's supplies in a valley at the exit of Shuangshan via the Shuangshan Trail.

The Japanese troops in Feidong then launched an attack on the positions on both sides of Shuangshan. However, they were met with fierce resistance from the soldiers of the First and Second Battalions who remained to defend the positions.

Before the Japanese troops in Feidong could break through the Shuangshan position, another piece of bad news came from Feidong County.
