Devil's Army

Commander Ling Qilong's order to retreat had not yet been issued, and the two groups of Japanese invaders were facing the arrival of night again.

The two groups of devils began to be busy dealing with the devil's night attacks.

The Devil's troops' night attacks are flexible and varied, with attacks at platoon level, company level, and even squad level.

The harassing devil troops didn't bother with them at all. They just fired a round of gunfire to wake them up. When they chased them out, they quickly disappeared into the vast mountains and forests by relying on their familiar road conditions.

In the morning, the two groups of Japanese soldiers yawned and started marching again. They were already close to Tieling County.

Commander Ling Kulong did not order the troops to retreat in the end. He had not achieved any political achievements since taking office, and he wanted to start a war with this devilish unit that had already registered with the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

After walking and fighting, and fighting and walking again, the two groups of Japanese finally arrived at Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County, which borders Tieling County to the east.

Commander Ling Qilong ordered the advance troops to set up camp and rest first, not to advance rashly, and to wait for the arrival of follow-up troops.

Major Sato looked towards Tieling County with a telescope, and saw that the devil troops to the east of Tieling County were already on high alert and ready to fight.

Major Sato, who had been brainwashed by the Bushido ideology, relaxed and could finally fight face to face without having to worry about being bitten by flies.

At night, the follow-up troops that had shaken off the harassment of the small forces of the Sixth Brigade also arrived at their destination.

At night, fierce gunfire was heard from many places of the Japanese advance troops and follow-up troops.

The Japs got up again and were busy dealing with the harassment from the Sixth Brigade.

In Tieling County, which is directly opposite, more than 10,000 troops from the 5th, 1st and 4th Brigades are now stationed.

When they heard the fierce gunfire, they knew it must be the work of their brother troops. They ignored it, continued to sleep, and prepared for tomorrow's fierce battle.

The next morning, just after dawn, according to the order of Commander Ling Kulong, whichever Japanese army reached Tieling County first would have the honor of occupying Tieling County.

The Japanese troops led by Major Sato arrived an hour earlier than those from Fushun, so he was the one who started the battle to capture Tieling County.

The Japanese troops in Fushun were led by Major Matsushita, who had attacked Tieling County from Fushun the last time. He knew the strength of the devil troops and their fierce firepower, so he said to Major Sato:

"Your heavy artillery shells have been destroyed by the devil's army. How about I give you half of my artillery shells to support you in the battle?"

However, Major Sato said arrogantly: "No, I can defeat these Chinese without heavy artillery."

Sometimes you can have a full meal by listening to advice. Major Matsushita stopped talking.

Major Sato started the attack on Tieling County. He also couldn't do without the three axes of the Japanese attack. Without heavy artillery shells, he had small mountain artillery and mortars.

His artillery began bombarding the defensive positions in front of Tieling County.

Gray Wolf was also in the headquarters east of Tieling County. He did not participate in the guerrillas in Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County. This was because Deputy Brigade Commander Liu of the Sixth Brigade and several others had fought guerrilla warfare in Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County for many years. They were more familiar with the grass and trees there than he was, so he did not have to worry about fighting guerrilla warfare.

He began to have some doubts when he heard the shells of the small mountain artillery and mortars hitting the position. Later, combined with the intelligence sent by the Sixth Brigade the day before, he smiled and realized that it was the Japanese who had lost their heavy artillery shells that were attacking.

He said to Wang Zhuangfei, the commander of the Fourth Brigade in charge of this battle: "The heavy artillery shells of the Japanese were destroyed by the Sixth Brigade. We can't be stingy. We have to send them some shells to show our hospitality."

"Understood!" So the five 150mm howitzers delivered a few days ago began to adjust their parameters and aimed at the positions outside the fortifications in turn.

After the first blow, it was time for machine guns and infantry to go into battle.

This time, of the 50 tanks that came from Fengtian, only two were left after being blown up by the devil troops along the way.

Two are better than nothing. Major Sato ordered two tanks to support the infantry and start the charge!

The roar of two tanks and the massive Japanese soldiers began to attack the front position of Tieling County.

But the devil troops' front positions did not respond.

"The troops this time can't be so weak, right? They were defeated with just one round of artillery fire. Then this victory came too easily, which is boring."

Major Sato was still daydreaming when the infantry was less than 200 meters away from the front fortifications.

At this time, the whistling sound of 150mm howitzer shells came over.

At first, Major Sato thought that the Japanese troops in Fushun were supporting him, and he cursed in his heart, "Taking off pants to fart, what a waste of time."

But he soon felt something was wrong. The whistling sound of the shells came from far away to near, rather than from near to far away.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of a series of heavy artillery shell explosions rang out among the Japanese soldiers.

The bombardment of the First Army was precisely calculated, and the impact point of each 150mm grenade was 150 to 200 meters away. The killing radius of a mm grenade is about meters.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky along the one-kilometer-long road, and the remains and corpses of the devils flew everywhere.

Before Major Sato could catch his breath, the second and third waves of artillery fire came one after another.

Major Sato's group of soldiers suddenly lost their combat effectiveness.

Major Sato stared at the tragic battle in front of him through a telescope, stunned. He was thinking: "Is this still a local armed force? He even thought that his colleagues' shells hit the wrong place."
