Devil's Army

At eight o'clock in the morning, the Second Regiment of the Sixth Brigade of Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County was still blocking the Japanese troops transporting ammunition from Fengtian, and the Japanese troops in the positions north of Xiaoliang River were bombarded by the First Army's artillery shells.

After the bombing by the 150mm howitzers of the First Army, more than soldiers of the First Army of Tieling County launched a full-scale attack on the Japanese positions north of Xiaoliang River.

Gray Wolf knew that the greatest casualties would occur when crossing the river, so he took advantage of the darkness last night and used scarecrows to consume the few remaining ammunition of the Japanese.

As a result, when the soldiers of the First Army officially launched the river crossing campaign this morning, the sound of artillery fire from the Japanese positions in the north was very few, and the sound of gunfire was not dense either.

The First Army quickly rushed to the position north of Xiaoliang River. The sound of the First Army's soldiers charging and shouting could be heard everywhere north of Xiaoliang River.

The Japanese soldiers in the positions north of Xiaoliang River began to retreat, and the Japanese soldiers in the civilian fortifications quickly ran into the civilian houses, because there were fortifications there that were not bombarded by the devil troops and remained intact.

However, what the Japanese did not expect was that when they ran to a distance of about 50 meters from the civilian fortifications, the Japanese soldiers in the houses fired at them fiercely.

The defenseless Japanese soldiers fell in rows in front of civilian fortifications.

There was no doubt that the civilian fortifications had been lost. As to when and how the civilian fortifications were lost, no one told the retreating Japanese commander in the north.

The major used the remaining bullets to desperately block the attack of the devil troops. He wished he could grab a handful of sand and turn it into a handful of bullets.

Telegrams requesting help flew like snowflakes to Commander Ling Qilong's office.

Commander Ling Qilong knew that the position north of Xiaoliang River was in danger, and he sent three consecutive telegrams urging the Japanese reinforcements to quickly break through the positions of the Qingyuan Devil Forces, get rid of the Devil Forces' entanglement, and reinforce the position north of Xiaoliang River.

Finally, the reinforcements from Fengtian broke through the position of the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Brigade. At this time, they had lost half of the regiment, with more than 1,200 people left.

Time is life. The reinforcement troops did not stop and immediately advanced towards the position north of Xiaoliang River.

However, it was of no use. The reinforcements advanced less than ten kilometers before being blocked by the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade.

The scouts then reported even worse news to the commander of the reinforcements: the two devil troops that they had just repelled were moving towards their two wings.

The commander had no way out, so he had to order the soldiers to speed up and strengthen their breakthrough of the devil troops' resistance in the front, and report their situation to Commander Ling Qilong at the same time.

Commander Ling Kulong sat weakly on the chair. It was obvious that he had been led by the devil's army.

The Devil's troops carefully planned to blow up the ammunition depot north of Xiaoliang River, and then took advantage of their lack of ammunition to organize an attack on the positions north of Xiaoliang River. They also calculated that he would definitely send reinforcements to reinforce the positions north of Xiaoliang River, so they sent out elite troops in advance to block the reinforcements he sent from Fengtian.

He continued to send reinforcements to support the Japanese troops transporting ammunition, but on the one hand it was too late, and on the other hand they would definitely be blocked by the devil's troops.

Finally, he ordered the Japanese commander who was transporting ammunition to reinforce the positions north of Xiaoliang River as much as possible, and to retreat to Fushun County if there was no other way.

After receiving the telegram from Commander Ling Kulong, the commander launched another fierce attack, but was still repelled by the regiment.

At this time, gunshots began to be heard on both sides of his flank.

Helplessly, he could only order his troops to retreat to Fushun County.

The pursuing Second Regiment beat the fallen dog from behind.

Finally, the commander led more than 500 Japanese soldiers to retreat to Fushun County, and all the ammunition they carried was used to support the devil troops.

Leng Feng had no telegraphic correspondence with Commander Ling Qilong, otherwise he would definitely send a telegram to Commander Ling Qilong to thank him for his generous support!

As the Japanese troops transporting ammunition from Fengtian were defeated, the major's carefully deployed positions north of the Xiaoliang River began to collapse completely.

The major began to gather his troops and retreat to Kaiyuan.

The soldiers of the First Army took advantage of the fact that they had no ammunition and chased them relentlessly.

This was a completely one-sided massacre. The Japanese soldiers, who had no bullets, were used as targets for shooting practice by the soldiers of the First Army as they retreated.

The road to Kaiyuan was littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

In the end, the major escaped into Kaiyuan with less than half of the Japanese soldiers.

The soldiers of the First Army also stopped the pursuit and began to dig fortifications on the road leading from Kaiyuan to Tieling County in preparation for war.

The situation of the Japanese army and the First Army confronting each other across the river was broken. Tieling County was also safer, and there was no need to worry about the devils north of Xiaoliang River suddenly launching an attack and occupying Tieling County.

Since there was no important barrier to defend from the north of Xiaoliang River to Kaiyuan, it would be difficult to defend if the Japanese attacked from Kaiyuan. Therefore, Leng Feng only regarded this place as a buffer zone.

He asked people to transfer a group of Chaori labor reform team members from Diaobeishan Coal Mine to simply rebuild the houses and roads destroyed in the battle. He did not build a new urban area like the one in the south of Tieling County.

The position north of Xiaoliang River was taken, and the Third Brigade left one regiment to guard the only way to Kaiyuan. The other two regiments immediately returned to Yaobao Town to recuperate. After all, they also had to defend against the Japanese invaders in Fengtian.
