Devil's Army

When the Japanese assault team rushed to within 100 meters of the Shuiliufeng position, the third company commander ordered them to open fire.

Intense gunfire and grenade explosions echoed through Shuiliufeng.

The Japanese commandos, who had just been gloating over their successful sneak attack, fell dead one after another.

The Japanese artillery that arrived later launched a blanket bombardment of the Sanlian Shuiliufeng position.

The soldiers of the Third Company lay tightly in the trench to avoid the Japanese artillery fire, but many soldiers were still hit by Japanese shells and flew out of the trench.

Before the Japanese artillery bombardment had stopped, three Japanese bombers also flew over Shuiliufeng.

Heavy bombs rained down from the sky, blasting Shuiliufeng into a cloud of smoke and dust.

Before the smoke from the battle had even cleared from Shuiliufeng, Japanese infantry launched an attack on the peak.

The soldiers of the Third Company scrambled to their feet from the rubble, guns in hand, staring at the charging Japanese troops.

Three soldiers frantically dug around the ruins; their squad leader had been buried by the collapsing mud during the Japanese bombing.

Before long, they dug up their class monitor's head.

As they shouted, they dug even harder to remove the soil from the squad leader's head.

More soldiers gathered around and helped dig.

At that moment, a nurse also arrived.

A short while later, the soldiers dug out the squad leader, but he was already lifeless.

The soldiers carried their squad leader to the nurse's side, urging her to quickly save him.

The nurse checked the squad leader's nose with her finger and found that he was no longer breathing. She immediately pressed on his chest and performed CPR.

"The Japanese are coming up! Fire!"

At the company commander's command, the soldiers lay prone in the trenches and opened fire on the attacking Japanese troops.

Meanwhile, a junior soldier who was very close to the squad leader was still half-squatting next to him, anxiously watching the nurses try to save the squad leader.

Suddenly, the squad leader coughed and spat out a mouthful of mud.

Seeing this, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief, plopped down on the ground, and wiped the sweat from her face.

"Squad leader, you're alright! That's great!"

The soldier next to him glanced back at his squad leader and continued firing at the Japanese troops below the mountain.

What are you doing squatting here? Fighting the Japanese!

Upon hearing the intense gunfire, the squad leader immediately scrambled to his feet and shouted.

Yes!

The soldier responded and immediately lay down inside the tent, beginning to fire at the Japanese troops.

The squad leader also grabbed a light machine gun from the ground, lay down in the trench, and started firing fiercely at the Japanese soldiers.

After the Japanese attack was repelled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the trench chatting:

"Squad leader, are you alright?" A veteran standing next to the squad leader asked as he approached.

"The Japanese devils haven't been driven out of our country yet, how dare I be in danger?"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The company commander, who was a little further away, laughed when he heard this.

Yes, with the Japanese pirates still at large, how dare we soldiers speak of death?

He lit a cigarette and then threw the rest to the class monitor.

The squad leader didn't get a cigarette, but the veteran next to him snatched it from him.

The veterans quickly divided up the few remaining packs of cigarettes that the company commander had.

The trenches were filled with the satisfied laughter of the soldiers.

During wartime, soldiers' satisfaction was actually quite simple. As long as the Japanese invaders didn't attack, a cigarette, a glass of wine, or even a glass of water could satisfy them.

The battalion commander learned from the telegram of the company commander that the Japanese army had bypassed the main route to attack Shuiliufeng, and immediately ordered the company that was preparing to reinforce the Huangouling Pass to rush to Shuiliufeng.
