Devil's Army

When the Japanese tanks reached the Guchengli Port Canyon, they were blocked by a deep and wide trench dug by the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment.

As the Japanese tanks stopped and waited for the soldiers to fill in the trenches, the rocket troops of the 2nd Battalion, who had been lying in wait, fired two rockets in succession, destroying the two tanks in front of them.

The first tank destroyed was hit in the ammunition magazine, causing a secondary explosion.

Tank shrapnel flew in all directions like a shower of flowers, knocking down a large number of soldiers who were providing cover.

As the Japanese tanks were destroyed, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies of the 2nd battalion also fired fiercely at the Japanese troops on the path.

The Japanese army's advance was completely blocked by the wreckage of two tanks.

The narrow path was crowded with Japanese soldiers.

A single grenade could kill or wound a group of Japanese soldiers in the Second Battalion.

Moreover, most of the soldiers in the 7th Brigade were veterans who had experienced countless battles. They timed the explosions perfectly, and most of the grenades exploded in the air. The shrapnel flying everywhere greatly increased the casualties of the Japanese soldiers.

Japanese soldiers searched everywhere for cover to block the devilish troops' advance. However, the rocks and trees around the path had been cleared away by the soldiers of the Second Battalion, leaving no place to hide on either side of the path.

With nowhere to hide, the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to retreat quickly.

The 2nd Battalion of the Japanese 18th Division suffered a crushing defeat as soon as they began their attack on the Guchengli Port Gorge.

The Japanese troops who withdrew from the Guchengli Port Gorge rested and waited for nearly an hour before launching another attack on the Guchengli Port Gorge.

The Japanese artillery fire fiercely covered the positions of the 1st and 2nd companies of the 2nd battalion. The Japanese soldiers marched in neat steps toward the positions of the 1st and 2nd companies of the 2nd battalion.

When they approached the positions of the 1st and 2nd Companies of the 2nd Battalion, there was still no movement from their positions.

Japanese soldiers scattered like a tide, surging towards the positions of the First and Second Companies.

When the Japanese soldiers rushed onto the position of the 1st and 2nd companies of the 2nd Battalion, they found that the position was deserted.

The soldiers of the first and second companies had already retreated into the port canyon positions in the ancient city.

The Japanese soldiers looked at each other, showing no joy at having captured the position.

The Japanese battalion commander then ordered his soldiers to push the tank wreckage aside, and the troops continued to advance towards the Guchengli Port Gorge.

The Japanese company commander in charge of the vanguard saw the treacherous terrain of the canyon at the ancient city's border and knew that the devilish troops would definitely have laid an ambush there. So he ordered his soldiers to carefully search and advance.

The soldiers of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion who had retreated remained calm and waited until the Japanese troops were less than 50 meters away from their positions before they threw grenades fiercely.

After a barrage of grenades, intense gunfire erupted from the high ground on both sides of the canyon.

Although the Japanese soldiers were prepared, they quickly lay down after hearing the grenade explode.

However, the shrapnel from the grenade that exploded in mid-air flew in all directions, and even the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground were not spared.

The relentless barrage of rifle and machine gun bullets claimed the lives of the surviving Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese 2nd Company, which was acting as the vanguard, suffered heavy casualties as soon as it engaged the 2nd Battalion.

The arriving Japanese soldiers quickly occupied advantageous positions and opened fire fiercely on the positions of the first and second companies.

The newly arrived Japanese mortar troops also continued to bombard the positions of the 1st and 2nd companies.

Explosions and gunfire echoed from the positions of the first and second companies.

The battle to blockade the border canyon in the ancient city has officially begun.

The first wave of fierce Japanese attacks was repelled by the tenacious resistance of the soldiers of the First and Second Companies, who were positioned on higher ground.
