Devil's Army

This time, the devil's troops destroyed his heavy artillery positions. All twelve large-caliber howitzers were blown up, not a single one left.

Division Commander Sakamoto requested aircraft support from Commander Musashi to bomb the heavy artillery positions of the Devil's Army. As long as the heavy artillery of the Devil's Army was destroyed, he could break through the fortifications and approach the Tiaobinshan County today.

Commander Musashi rejected the request of Division Commander Sakamoto and asked him to find another way to destroy the heavy artillery position of the Devil's Army.

But this was easier said than done. The Second Brigade was an expert at using cold guns and cold artillery. Wu Lang knew that this group of Japanese soldiers also had a large number of small mountain artillery. So his howitzers bombarded several rounds and then immediately retreated.

The Japanese did not organize another charge for the entire afternoon. Although the number of troops surrounded and annihilated was not large, only more than 700 people, which was nothing compared to his large army of more than 3 people, the fact that the entire army was surrounded and annihilated brought great psychological shock to their soldiers.

Division Commander Sakamoto spent the entire afternoon in the tent discussing countermeasures with several staff officers and several regiment commanders.

But what gave him a headache was that their first countermeasure was to send planes to bomb!

Later, the division commander Sakamoto got angry and yelled, "Whoever suggests sending planes to bomb again, get out!" Only then did everyone stop discussing this impossible countermeasure.

After participating in the encirclement and annihilation of that Japanese force, the soldiers of the Third Company of the Second Battalion retreated to the fortifications, exchanged shifts with the Second Company, and rushed to repair the fortifications.

The second regiment commander also took advantage of the Japanese stopping their attack and ordered the third battalion to dig another fortification at a corner more than two miles away from the third company's fortifications, and sent the first company of the third battalion to garrison there.

On the morning of the third day, the battle in Tieling County could no longer be called a battle. Major Fujie only occasionally sent a squadron to charge and declared to the devil troops: I am still here, don't leave.

Leng Feng informed Wu Lang of the attack on the Fifth Brigade's artillery position and asked him to beware of the Japanese's tactics, so Wu Lang became more cautious when using the howitzer.

Compared with the battle in Tieling County, the smell of gunpowder in Diaobingshan County was much stronger. Division Commander Sakamoto reorganized the artillery and divided the remaining 24 small mountain guns into three teams. The first team had four guns to assist the attacking tanks and infantry in bombing fortifications; the second and third teams had ten guns each, and each built two artillery positions. If the heavy artillery of the devil troops was found, they would bombard immediately.

At around seven in the morning, the Japanese followed the tanks and launched a charge towards the fortifications of the third company. The two wings of the fortifications also discovered the Japanese. However, since the roads on the two wings were relatively narrow, the Japanese heavy weapons could not be transported up. The commander of the third company arranged a squad on each wing to block the Japanese attack.

The Japs also wanted to launch a full-scale attack, but the road was so wide that only three to five hundred people could charge forward at a time.

This battle is fought with the tactic of adding fuel. Whoever runs out of fuel first will lose.

The four small guns of the Japanese army cooperated with the infantry to bombard the fortifications of the third company. The fortifications that had just been repaired last night were soon blown down.

Wu Lang knew that the Japanese had far more than these four small mountain artillery pieces. He had deployed more than ten heavy artillery pieces this time. How could there be only four small mountain artillery pieces?

Wulang sent a telegram asking Huilang to help find the enemy's new artillery position.

Gray Wolf agreed, but the Japanese artillery had not fired, and it was indeed difficult to search such a large area. He could only look for the Japanese headquarters while keeping an eye out for new artillery positions.

Wu Lang, Chen Dongbei, Huang Lei and the second regiment commander had been staying at the regiment headquarters. Chen Dongbei and Huang Lei's two regiments were hiding near the regiment headquarters. They had been keeping an eye out for opportunities to annihilate the Japanese and share the pressure for the second brigade. However, the area was narrow and the Japanese troops could not be deployed, and the troops of the first army could not be deployed either. They could only continue to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese.

Without the bombardment of heavy artillery, a Japanese tank quickly rushed to the front of the fortifications of the third company and fired fiercely at the fortifications of the third company with machine guns. Soldiers of the third company were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing this, Wulang brought in two 75mm anti-aircraft guns and fired at the two tanks. After firing one round, he immediately moved away.

The four Japanese mountain guns immediately launched a fierce bombardment on the two anti-aircraft gun positions of the Second Brigade, but the two 75mm anti-aircraft guns of the Second Brigade had already been moved.

Two Japanese tanks were blown up by two anti-aircraft guns of the Second Brigade and lay quietly on the path between the fortifications and the anti-tank cones.

The two destroyed tanks blocked the Japs' line of sight. The soldiers of the third company used the two tanks to shoot at the Japs, but the two tanks also blocked the Japs' line of sight, and the Japs soon approached again.

After the Japanese's four small steel cannons bombarded the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Second Brigade, they immediately came over to bomb the fortifications of the Third Company.

The Japanese infantry hiding behind the two tanks rushed towards the fortifications when the hill artillery just stopped firing. Seeing this, the second regiment commander immediately sent the second company of the third battalion to support them.

Before the reinforcements from the Second Company of the Third Battalion arrived, the Japanese had already rushed into the fortifications and engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Third Company inside the fortifications.

There were more and more Japanese soldiers in the fortifications, and the number of soldiers in the third company was decreasing.

The third company commander took off his red underwear, took the time to rush up to the fortifications, and sent a flag signal to the artillery position of the Second Brigade to fire at him.

His younger brother was an artilleryman, and he talked to him about some artillery flag signals in his spare time, so he understood a little bit.

The Second Captain looked on in bewilderment as the Third Captain waved a red underwear in their direction.

At this time, two Japanese soldiers rushed up and stabbed the third company commander with two bayonets from behind.

The third company commander loosened his grip, and the red underwear flew in the wind, all the way towards the regiment headquarters.

What he wanted to do most at this moment was to eat the cabbage and pork dumplings made by his wife again.

His wife worked in a glass factory and couldn't stay idle, so she cleared a piece of land in the tribe and planted a lot of cabbage, which he liked to eat. So he could often eat dumplings stuffed with cabbage, but only dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork occasionally.

The third company commander leaned on his rifle, his eyes open, looking at the Oroqen tribe.

A Japanese soldier stepped forward and kicked the company commander, who fell heavily to the ground.

The second regiment commander witnessed all this and was heartbroken. At this time, the artillery called and told him that the third company commander requested to fire at him.

Looking at the increasing number of Japanese soldiers in the fortifications, the second regiment commander shouted angrily: "Fire!"

There were five howitzers, two covering the fortifications and three extending the firing range. The Japanese in the fortifications and in front of the anti-tank cones were wiped out in five huge explosions.
