Devil's Army

The troops of Lieutenant Colonel Isoko that attacked Tieling County were the most successful in Musashi Nobuyoshi's three-way encirclement plan, and were also the first to be defeated. At this time, the troops from Rehe were still entangled in harassment and counter-harassment battles.

The engineers of the Sakamoto Division blasted the anti-tank cones, and the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade sniped the engineers. The Sakamoto Division sent two teams to chase the snipers of the 2nd Brigade. However, they were ambushed, one team was completely wiped out, and the other team escaped with only seven people.

If we use artillery shells to bomb, how many shells will be wasted on the anti-tank cone group that is more than two miles long?

A Japanese major invented the human wall tactic: the Japanese soldiers lined up in two rows, guarding both sides and opening fire at the slightest sign of trouble.

In this way, the Japanese engineers were surrounded by infantry, and the snipers had no way to snipe them. After they set up the line, the infantry on both sides retreated and the explosives could be detonated.

The plan was good and feasible. But they forgot that the Second Brigade grew up by launching surprise attacks, and taking advantage of surprise attacks was their specialty. When the Third Regiment Commander saw that the snipers could not kill the Japanese, he immediately ordered Feilong to keep an eye on the anti-tank cones from a distance in the air, and to immediately transmit the coordinates back to the artillery position if any Japanese engineers wanted to carry out blasting.

The artillery company commander set up a mortar at a random place, fired a shot, and then walked away.

If the flying dragon finds that it has not hit the target, the mortar will move to another location and fire again.

However, the three shells hit the target accurately, knocking down the three Japanese engineers and several infantrymen nearby.

Although using mortars to bomb engineers is a bit like using cannons to kill mosquitoes, if the Japanese successfully open up the road, their tanks can drive straight in and directly bombard the fortifications, which will cause greater casualties to the soldiers in the fortifications, and this waste will be worth it.

After half a day, the Jigu troops in Tieling County advanced straight into the city and would soon occupy Tieling County, but they were still blocked outside the anti-tank cones.

The Japanese stopped for lunch. After lunch, the staff still couldn't think of a good solution. Regimental Commander Sakamoto had no choice but to order the mortar to blast a passage.

The Second Brigade wanted to bomb the Japanese mortar positions, but Feilong was sent to support the Fifth Brigade, so they had to give up.

After Gray Wolf bombed the Japanese supply station coming from Xiaonan Town, the threat from the Japanese coming from Fengtian was no longer great, and the Second and First Regiments could handle it. He brought the special forces and came to the headquarters of the Third Regiment of the Second Brigade wearing Japanese clothes.

The Third Regiment Commander requested the Gray Wolf's special forces to help find the Japanese mortar positions. He couldn't let the Japanese easily break through the anti-tank cones.

Gray Wolf originally wanted to come here to find the headquarters of this group of devils and see if he could find a way to destroy his headquarters to prevent him from attacking Diaobingshan County and Tieling County. Looking for the devil's mortar position is like hunting rabbits while robbing grass.

Gray Wolf didn't stay for long and set off with the special forces team.

The Japanese mortars were still bombarding the anti-tank cones. Gray Wolf and his men followed the trajectory of the Japanese mortars and soon found the Japanese mortar position at the corner of the path.

The signalman quickly sent the coordinates of the Japanese mortar position to the artillery of the Third Regiment.

After a while, three 150mm grenades whizzed towards the mortar position.

After only one round of bombing, the Japanese mortar positions disappeared.

It was inconvenient for the large force to move in the jungle, so Gray Wolf divided the special forces into five groups, each with eleven people including the company leader, and carried radios to search for the enemy's headquarters in all directions. He hid in the woods with the large force.

The major in charge of clearing the road saw that the mortar position was destroyed just when the anti-tank cone was halfway through. He was also angry and ordered the infantry to launch the first round of charge. Since the tanks could not go to support, he ordered the mortars of the brigade to bomb the fortifications of the first company of the third regiment behind the anti-tank cone to cover the infantry charge.

The Japanese infantry approached the fortifications cautiously. When they were more than 200 meters away, there was still no movement inside.

"Is there no one in the fortifications?" the major thought. "That's impossible. If there were no soldiers in the fortifications, why would there be such a long group of anti-tank cones in front?"

Before the major could continue to fantasize, a round of mountain artillery and mortars exploded in front of the anti-tank cones, cutting the charging group of Japanese soldiers into two.

Then the mountain artillery and mortars extended their fire for another round. At this time, the second battalion of the third regiment attacked the five or six hundred Japanese soldiers who were cut off in the encirclement with the most rapid firepower from the left, the third battalion from the right, and the first battalion from the front.

More than half of the Japanese soldiers were killed by the fierce attack of more than 2,000 people from three battalions of the Third Regiment. The less than half of the remaining Japanese soldiers stood back to back and fought with the soldiers of the Third Regiment with bayonets.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment did not follow their martial ethics. When the Japanese soldiers were fighting with the soldiers in front, the soldiers on the side would stab them with their bayonets as soon as they saw a gap. There was nothing they could do. It was because the Third Regiment had too many people and it was difficult to distribute them one-on-one.

Division Commander Sakamoto had suffered a similar loss last time, so he hurriedly called for his troops to reinforce.

The 2nd Brigade's mortar artillery, which was convenient for transfer, fired a round of artillery at the anti-tank cone group from the new position at the right time, and then extended the fire to fire another round. Then they moved to an unknown place.

The Japanese reinforcements who were about to come to reinforce were so shocked by the continuous bombardment that they cried for their parents and had no idea about rescue.

After the smoke from the mortars cleared, the Japanese rushed through the anti-tank cones. There was no trace of the devil's troops in front of them, only hundreds of corpses of imperial soldiers lying in all directions.

Having failed twice in the same place, Division Commander Sakamoto was quite annoyed.

Just when Division Commander Sakamoto was feeling regretful and angry, Leng Feng had already set up a game and played a big game for him.
