Devil's Army

The Japanese army's attack on Hunchun from the Huanggouling Pass was blocked, so they detoured to Liushuifeng. However, they were still met with fierce resistance from the devilish troops.

The mountains here were not as steep as the Huanggouling Pass, so the Japanese army launched a continuous offensive against the Liushuifeng defense line of the Devil Force.

Under the relentless and intense attacks of the Japanese army, the Third Company of the Third Battalion suffered considerable casualties.

The Fourth Company, which was waiting behind Liushui Peak, had arrived at the position and replaced the Third Company.

When the third company commander led his soldiers back to the rear to rest, they encountered the first company, which was rushing over.

Upon seeing the third company commander, the first company commander anxiously asked:

"Company Commander Ji, what's the situation at the front?"

The company commander pointed to the soldiers beside him and said with a wry smile:

"The situation is not optimistic. The Japanese are like mad dogs. Despite the heavy casualties, they keep attacking."

"I wonder how Company Commander Wu is doing?"

"Their fourth company has just gone up; they should be able to hold off the Japanese attack for a day or two without any problem, but it's hard to say what will happen if it goes on for too long."

The third company commander looked at the anxious first company commander and said with a smile:

"Company Commander Chen, don't worry, you'll have plenty of fighting to do. Take a good rest first; I reckon the Second Company will be here soon."

"The terrain at Huanggou Ridge Pass is treacherous, and the Japanese army won't be able to break through it anytime soon. Moreover, their main force has already detoured to Liushui Peak, and the Second Company will be arriving soon. We thought our First and Second Companies were destined to be reserves, but we never expected to be assigned the good job of killing Japanese devils so quickly."

"With the Japanese army pressing in, no one in our brigade can remain uninvolved. A fierce battle with the Japanese is only a matter of time."

As night fell, the evening breeze whistled through the tent, making a rustling sound.

Gunshots and explosions continued to ring out from Liushui Peak.

Outside the tent, the company commander and the third company commander were chatting over water instead of wine, while eating roasted peanuts.

"Old Ji, do you think we can hold Hunchun County this time?"

"The Japanese army came prepared this time. With our 1th Brigade of over 34 men, we probably can't withstand them. We can only do our best and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"Do you know how long it will take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

"I don't know exactly how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive, and I'm afraid even our brigade commander doesn't know. But before the battle started, the brigade commander said that reinforcements would take about half a month to arrive. Now almost a week has passed, and I estimate that if we can withstand the Japanese attack for a week, our reinforcements will arrive."

"Why do you think such a small, insignificant country as the Japanese dare to bully our great China?"

"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. I heard our regimental commander say that the Japanese are short of domestic resources, and if they want to develop rapidly, they can only annex neighboring countries, and China is their first choice."

"He underestimates China too much. Although China has been weak for many years, it is not something he can simply annex! Besides, China is not lacking in patriotic men!"

"When war breaks out on our Chinese soil, it is our ordinary people who suffer the most. I truly hope that one day the war will reach even the smallest, most insignificant country!"

"Yes, let's bring the war to the borders of this tiny country and plant our flag on Mount Phu Phu Phong!"

Upon hearing this, the company commander spat out a mouthful of water and laughed, saying:

"Company Commander Chen, is it Mount Fuji? Mount Fuji is a mountain from Changchun."

The company commander and his men were unaware that their commander, Leng Feng, was furious about the Japanese army's renewed offensive and the spread of the war to Northeast China.

He has secretly ordered the Oroqen Aircraft Factory and the Kunming Aircraft Factory, which have the strongest technical capabilities, to accelerate the development of bombers with large payloads and long ranges in preparation for bombing the Japanese mainland.
