Devil's Army

The Second Regiment Commander had not yet received the news of Commander Sun's reorganization, but instead received news from the scouts that the Fushun devils had set out.

"How many troops did the Japanese send out?" the second regiment commander asked the scout.

"The Japanese sent out a small number of people, probably a battalion of more than a thousand people."

"Okay, continue the investigation." There were more than a thousand devils in one battalion, and more than two thousand soldiers in their second regiment. 1:2, they would not suffer any loss.

But after a while, the scouts brought news that the Japanese had dispatched a large number of people.

The second regiment commander got angry and asked the scout: "Did the Japs send out a few people? Or a lot of people?"

"Report to the commander, the Japanese sent out only a small number of people just now, but now they have sent out a lot of people." The scout answered truthfully.

The second commander really made this scout mad. If it weren't for his alertness, he would have really wanted to transfer him out of the scout group.

"Be specific."

"Report to the regiment commander. The Japanese sent out only a small number of people just now, only one battalion of about a thousand people. Now a lot of people have been sent out from behind, about seven or eight thousand people. They also brought heavy howitzers and four tanks."

"Where is that brigade of devils now?"

"They stopped in front of our Tieling County territory, waiting for the large Japanese army behind them."

The Japanese sent out nearly 10,000 people, heavy artillery and tanks. This was not something that the 2,000-plus people of their Second Regiment could resist. The Second Regiment commander immediately reported to the Fifth Brigade commander.

Meilang received the report from the second commander and immediately reported to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng received Meilang's report and immediately ordered the entire Sixth Brigade and two regiments of the Fourth Brigade to bring two 150mm howitzers and two 75mm anti-aircraft guns to quickly reinforce the Second Regiment of the Fifth Brigade. He also ordered the mobile force to dispatch two companies to wait for an opportunity to assist.

In order to prevent the tragedy in Yaobao Town from happening again in the Second Regiment, Leng Feng transferred the Golden Eagle over.

As the Japanese army advanced, they arranged for engineers to build roads, and finally they met up with a large group of Japanese vanguards in front.

After the Japanese joined forces, they did not immediately attack the Second Regiment, but instead set up camp in front of him.

Commander Sun and Captain Wang must have received the news of the Japanese's large-scale action. But the Japanese sent out so many troops at once, which was not something they could resist. They could only hide nearby and see if there was a chance to support the Second Regiment.

The next morning, before daybreak, the Japanese heavy artillery began bombing the positions of the Second Regiment.

The enemy's heavy artillery fired very accurately, and the shells landed precisely in the fortifications of the Second Regiment, causing considerable casualties to the Second Regiment.

"The Japanese heavy artillery bombardment is so accurate, there must be a Japanese artillery observation post nearby. Send the Golden Eagle over and see if it can be taken down." The second regiment commander ordered.

However, the mountains in Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County are high and the forests are dense. The golden eagle flew several circles but did not find the Japanese artillery observation post.

The second regiment commander had no choice but to order the first battalion stationed in the second fortification to be careful of artillery defense, while at the same time sending scouts to sneak into Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County to see if the Japanese artillery observation post could be found.

The Japanese heavy artillery bombardment, which lasted for nearly an hour, caused more than 200 casualties to the first battalion in the fortifications.

Before they even saw the enemy, his first battalion had lost one-third of its troops. The second regiment commander was very annoyed, but he had not found the enemy's artillery observation post yet, so he had no idea what to do.

At this time, Liu Yaohua led the Sixth Brigade and rushed over. He learned about the situation of the devils from the commander of the Second Regiment, and then ordered the First Regiment to enter Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County from the left wing and the Second Regiment from the right wing, attempting to encircle and annihilate the devils.

At this time, the Japanese stopped shelling and the infantry began to charge.

The First Battalion of the Second Regiment gained experience in defending Tieling County. They did not rush to stop the Japanese, but waited for the Japanese to approach.

However, the Japanese soldiers from Fushun were much more cunning than those from Kaiyuan. They slowly approached the fortifications of the First Battalion, and when they were fifty or sixty meters away from the fortifications, before the soldiers in the fortifications launched an attack on them, they suddenly rushed forward, throwing grenades into the fortifications as they rushed.

The soldiers of the first battalion in the fortification had already taken out the grenades, ready to throw them when the Japanese got closer. Who knew that the Japanese threw grenades into the fortification half a step earlier than them.

The Japanese grenades kept exploding in the first battalion's fortifications, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers of the first battalion in the fortifications.

The soldiers of the first battalion who had recovered from the fortifications quickly threw the grenades in their hands at the devils.

But how could the few remaining grenades stop the madly charging Japanese?

The Japs kept rushing into the first line of fortification, and the sound of bayonet fighting and shouting could be heard from the fortification.

After only one round, the first line of defense was lost. The second regiment commander was so angry that he threw his hat to the ground and wanted to curse.

When the battalion commander of the first fortification killed two Japanese soldiers, he was also stabbed by a Japanese soldier. He took the opportunity to shout to the deputy battalion commander of the second fortification: "Throw grenades, throw grenades."

The second fortification was only about 50 meters away from the first one, so the grenade could be thrown over there. But if the grenade was thrown into the first fortification, the Japanese in the fortification would be doomed. The battalion commander and his men would not survive either.

Finally, the deputy battalion commander gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to throw grenades at the first fortification, because he knew that the two fortifications supported each other, and if the first fortification fell, their second fortification would be unable to support itself.

The first battalion commander finally failed to wait for Commander Sun and Captain Wang, whom he had arranged to join, to merge with the First Anti-Japanese Army, and fell in the first line of fortification.
