Devil's Army

The last time the troops were deployed to defend Shanxian and Tieling counties was because the enemy's artillery was destroyed. Without the artillery's fire support and the cooperation of aircraft, the division commander Sakamoto ordered the troops to withdraw, which did not hurt Musashi Nobuyoshi's vitality.

This time, the battle to defend Tieling County only drove Lieutenant Colonel Isoko's troops back to Kaiyuan and injured one finger of Musashi Nobuyoshi. This time, Leng Feng wanted to break one of his fingers at Aozuikou, so that he would not dare to touch his defense area for a period of time.

Leng Feng ordered: the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 3rd regiment of the 2nd brigade, the 1st regiment of the 1st brigade, and two battalions and seven battalions of the 3rd regiment of the 1st brigade, totaling more than 5,000 people to block the road from Aozuikou to Xiaonan Town via the small road of Hujia Village from Tiaobinshan County; the 1st regiment of the 4th brigade, the 3rd battalion of the 2nd regiment, and two battalions of the 1st regiment of the 2nd brigade, totaling more than 4,000 people to attack Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki's troops coming from Xiaonan Town from the front from Aozuikou; more than 2,000 people from three battalions of the army's direct regiment set up an ambush near Diaobei Mountain from Xiaonan Town through Tiaobinshan County, preparing to annihilate the transport team carrying supplies to Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki's troops.

This time, Leng Feng used almost all of the available reserve troops.

The efficiency of the Japanese was quite high. In less than a day, the supplies for Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki's 7,000 people were ready. Commander Musashi immediately arranged for more than 1,200 Japanese and puppet troops to escort the troops to Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki's troops at Aozuikou.

As the Japanese troops in Rehe were approaching in large numbers, the Japanese were not prepared for the First Army to withdraw troops to ambush them. So when the Japanese transport team reached the vicinity of Diaobei Mountain, the more than 2,000 troops of the army's direct regiments ambushed on both sides opened fire and shot at the Japanese on the path.

The Japanese were caught off guard. But soon, the Japanese major who led the team stabilized the troops, organized a counterattack, and asked Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki for help.

Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki was shocked when he received the telegram for help from the transport team, and immediately sent two battalions to reinforce. Their troops only had enough food for three days, and one day had already passed.

The military quality of the Japanese in the transport team was much higher than that of the puppet army. While the puppet army was still running around in panic, the Japanese had already found cover and lay down to fight back.

Unfortunately, the transport team was at a disadvantage in terms of both manpower and firepower, and the sound of their counterattacks gradually became sparse.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel who led the team hid under the carriage and encouraged them, "Hold on, hold on. Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki has sent reinforcements, and they will be here in less than an hour."

The Japanese lieutenant colonel was right. If they had come normally, it would have taken less than an hour. But now the reinforcements sent by Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki could not even protect themselves.

The two battalions of Japanese soldiers left the barracks and rushed to Diaobei Mountain. But the faster they rushed, the faster they would fall into the ambush circle set up by Leng Feng.

Leng Feng saw that all the Japanese had entered the ambush circle and fired a green flare into the sky.

Gunshots rang out almost simultaneously on both sides of the several-mile-long path, and the sound of grenades exploding could be heard continuously on the path.

When the two battalions of Japanese soldiers heard the gunshots, they immediately rushed into the bushes on both sides of the path and fired back.

When Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki heard the gunfire coming from the reinforcements, he immediately led the remaining troops towards the reinforcements.

As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki's troops left the barracks and walked onto the main road, the troops that had been waiting near Aozuikou, led by Wang Zhuangfei, attacked Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki's troops from behind.

There were only 3,000 people left in Sasamoto's army, and he sent a battalion of more than 1,000 people to block Wang Zhuangfei and his men. The remaining 2,000 people quickly moved towards the 2,000 people who were coming to reinforce him.

Wang Zhuangfei saw that Sasaki had sent more than 1,000 people to stop his 4,000 people, and sneered: "This Japanese commander really thinks highly of himself." Then he ordered:

The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Regiment of the 4th Brigade outflanked the left wing; the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 4th Brigade and the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment outflanked the right wing; the remaining troops attacked from the front of the main road.

The troops of the First Anti-Japanese Army had previously captured a large number of Japanese weapons, and now they have their own arsenal, so the firepower of individual soldiers is not weaker than that of the devils. Some individual troops are even slightly stronger than the devils.

The training intensity of veterans is generally greater than that of the Chinese military during the same period.

More than a thousand Japanese soldiers were besieged on three sides by the First Army, which was four times larger than them, and were at a disadvantage from the beginning. Wang Zhuangfei launched a general charge at the right time.

This large group of Japanese soldiers were surrounded on three sides by the shouts and gunfire of the First Army.

Soon, the battle between Wang Zhuangfei and this large group of Japanese devils came to a calm state.

Wang Zhuangfei did not arrange his troops to clean up the battlefield, but instead gathered his troops and continued to pursue Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki.

At this time, Sasaki had already started fighting with the troops that surrounded the reinforcement convoy.

The one that fought with Sasaki was the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Brigade.

The battle was fierce from the start, and Sasaki used artillery.

A gap was soon blown up in the temporary defense line of the Third Battalion, but the rear rank of the Third Battalion filled it up immediately.

The third battalion commander was worried that their battalion would be destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire because this fortification could not protect against artillery fire at all.

But the Japanese artillery fire suddenly stopped and they charged at them.

The third battalion commander thought that the Japanese were afraid of accidentally injuring their own people. Later he found out that the Japanese artillery was too fierce when attacking Aozuikou, and the supply station was destroyed, so there were no more artillery shells.

Wang Zhuangfei immediately ordered his troops to encircle Lieutenant Colonel Sasaki.

At this time, the Japanese transport team could not wait for reinforcements and was finally annihilated, and more than one hundred puppet soldiers were captured.

Baron ordered the third battalion to clean up the battlefield and the first and second battalions to dig fortifications in preparation to stop the Japanese invaders coming from Fengtian.

It was difficult for Sasaki to deal with Wang Zhuangfei with the troops he had, let alone the Third Battalion.

In the end, before the reinforcements from Fengtian arrived, Sasaki's troops of more than 5,000 were surrounded and annihilated by the devil's troops of more than 10,000 people.

Leng Feng successfully cut off one of Musashi Nobuyoshi's fingers, achieving the goal of killing the most Japanese devils in a single battle since the start of the war against the Japanese devils.
