Devil's Army

Chapter 396 Wang Zhuangfei blocks Jinzhou reinforcements

While the three battalions of the third regiment were dividing into three groups to clear out the Japanese invaders in the south of Chaoyang County, the second battalion of the second regiment began to harass the Japanese invaders in Chaoyang County.

Since the city gates of Chaoyang County were closed all day yesterday, the city and the surrounding areas were crowded with common people, all of whom wanted to leave or enter the city.

There was a lot of noise at several city gates in Chaoyang County.

At nine o'clock the city gates opened, and the common people rushed in and out of the city, while the Japanese on the city wall stared nervously outside the city gates, fearing that the devil's troops would sneak in.

More than half an hour later, all the city gates returned to normal.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the Japanese gradually relaxed their tense nerves.

At ten o'clock, a round of gunfire was heard from the east gate of Chaoyang County. Two Japanese soldiers and two puppet soldiers on duty at the gate received lunch boxes on the spot.

Then another round of gunfire rang out, and five Japanese soldiers on guard on the city wall were knocked down.

There was a place on the city wall where the Japanese saw the smoke coming out of the sniper rifles of the Second Battalion. However, the Japanese commander of Chaoyang County did not dare to order his soldiers to go out of the city to pursue the soldiers of the Devil Army, for he was afraid of being ambushed. He only ordered the Japanese soldiers on the city wall to shoot at the place where the snipers were ambushed outside the city.

The snipers of the second battalion succeeded in their sniping and immediately retreated, without engaging with the Japanese in Chaoyang County.

This went on for several days, and the Japanese were in fear every day. The Japanese who were on duty at the gate felt like they had drawn a death lottery. In the end, they had no choice but to send puppet troops to guard the city gate. Anyway, the Chinese killed the Chinese, and they didn't care how many people died.

Wang Zhuangfei received an order from Gray Wolf and led the mixed troops towards Jinzhou, where they unexpectedly encountered the Japanese reinforcements coming from Jinzhou.

Wang Zhuangfei's troops did not panic like some of the Nanjing government's troops. Instead, they immediately lay down and fired at the oncoming devils.

The Japanese soldiers who were slow to react were knocked down one after another and had to take turns to cover their retreat.

Wang Zhuangfei ordered the Second Battalion of the First Brigade to pursue cautiously, and the front troops immediately built anti-artillery bunkers, while the other troops dispersed to the two wings.

Wang Zhuangfei knew that in order to effectively occupy the south of Chaoyang County and develop it into a base, he had to withstand the attack from the Japanese in Jinzhou, so his battle would be continuous and fierce.

Sure enough, after the Japanese gained a foothold, they began to counterattack. Mortars, mountain guns and 100mm howitzers continued to hit Wang Zhuangfei's troops.

A battalion of a brigade in charge of the pursuit was forced to retreat to the rear of the troops who had dug anti-artillery fortifications.

Wang Zhuangfei's artillery also began to attack the enemy's position. Mortar shells, small mountain shells and 150mm howitzer shells whizzed towards the enemy's position.

The Japanese troops coming from Jinzhou encountered the Chinese army with the strongest artillery strength since they entered the Chinese battlefield.

Instead of sending their soldiers to charge, they started an artillery fire on the devil's troops.

Large-scale battles are all about personnel and supplies. Wang Zhuangfei's troops are no longer like when they were first established, and they have to calculate every bullet they shoot. Although they can't fire freely, they won't be at a disadvantage for a while.

Moreover, Wang Zhuangfei's five 150mm howitzers caused great damage to the Japanese. One shot created a hole the size of a small fish pond.

Wang Zhuangfei also wanted their artillery to suppress and destroy the enemy's artillery positions. However, according to the data sent back by the Golden Eagle, the enemy's artillery positions were beyond the range of their heavy artillery.

It seems that the Japanese are also on guard against their artillery. If they insist on destroying the Japanese artillery, their artillery positions must also move forward. Their 150mm howitzers are inconvenient to move, and there is also a risk of being destroyed if the positions are moved forward.

Wang Zhuangfei didn't dare to take the risk and had to give up.

In this way, the Japanese reinforcements in Jinzhou fought a strange battle with the reinforcements of the First Anti-Japanese Army. All day long, the soldiers of both sides did not attack each other, but the artillery bombardment continued.

The commanders of the Jinzhou devils rewrote their three-axe combat doctrine of heavy artillery bombardment, followed by machine gun fire, and then infantry charge.

Wang Zhuangfei sent company after company to the front battlefield fortifications. Although the number of casualties continued to rise, the position was still firmly in his hands.

The division commander Sakamoto in Jinzhou was afraid of the new weapons of the devil troops, so he did not dare to send more tanks to reinforce the devils.

Without the tanks' high mobility and penetration capability, the Japanese reinforcements from Jinzhou were unable to break through Wang Zhuangfei's defense line for a while.

The desperate Division Commander Sakamoto wanted to repeat the same trick again and ordered the Air Force to cooperate with the reinforcements to bomb the devil troops.

Two G3M96 bombers roared over again.

But this time, he couldn't just use one trick to win everything. Before the two Japanese bombers flew over Wang Zhuangfei's troops, two air-to-air missiles on the air-to-air missile launcher on the belly of the golden eagle ignited and flew towards the two bombers.

Only a series of explosions were heard, and two beautiful big fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The wreckage of the bomber hit the Japanese positions on the ground at a very high speed. Two Japanese soldiers were lucky enough to receive lunch boxes on the spot.

After receiving Wang Zhuangfei's report, Gray Wolf led the remaining special forces to Wang Zhuangfei's position.

The key to this battle is whether Wang Zhuangfei can withstand the attack from the reinforcements of the Jinzhou devils.

Gray Wolf is coming to help Wang Zhuangfei win this blocking battle!
