Devil's Army

Chapter 406: Battle for Chaoyang

The Jackal had to fight against the captain's squadron with the strength of a small team, which was quite stressful.

But as more and more soldiers from the Third Brigade rushed into Chaoyang County, the pressure on the Japanese gradually increased.

Colonel Inoue sent another squadron to reinforce and asked for help from Division Commander Sakamoto.

Division Commander Sakamoto quickly replied to Colonel Inoue that in three days, a ship of soldiers and weapons would dock at Jinzhou Port, and he asked Colonel Inoue to hold Chaoyang County for a week and wait for the counterattack of the Jinzhou army.

When Colonel Inoue received the order from the division commander Sakamoto, he thought to himself that he had 14 or 15 squadrons, including the guards. He gave a death order to the squadron leaders that each squadron must resist the attack of the devil troops for one day.

In this way, a week later he could still lead half of his troops to join forces with the large force in Jinzhou to defeat the devil's troops in the Chaoyang area.

After receiving the order, the squadron responsible for the blocking mission fought more tenaciously against the attack of the devil troops.

There were corpses lying one after another on the Japanese position, but the Japanese behind still rushed forward without hesitation.

The casualties of the First Army began to rise, and it became increasingly difficult to recapture the position.

Chaoyang County became a meat grinder, with the Japs and the First Army's soldiers constantly pouring people into it.

Gray Wolf went to the front line to observe the situation. Jackal asked Gray Wolf: "Captain, did the Japanese take the wrong medicine? Why don't they retreat despite the heavy casualties?"

"I don't know if the devils are taking the wrong medicine, but the battle to retake Chaoyang County cannot be dragged on. Otherwise, Jinzhou will gather enough troops and prepare enough supplies, and will definitely attack us again. At that time, the devils in Chaoyang County can stab us in the back. At that time, we will be very passive."

"I will mobilize our special forces to seize the enemy's positions one by one."

"No, our special forces cannot be wasted here. Go, ask Captain Fan to dispatch a company of tanks. Arrange four special forces to follow each tank to prevent the Japanese from jumping off the wall and perishing together with our tanks."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!" The Jackal saluted the Gray Wolf and left immediately.

After a while, the roar of tank engines came from outside the city towards the Japanese positions.

The Japanese squadron leader who was in charge of blocking the devil troops was stunned. It was always their tanks that crushed the Chinese, but when did the Chinese tanks crush them?

The situation did not allow him to think too much. Their squadron had no special weapons to deal with tanks, so they could only use human bombs.

The squadron leader ordered the machine gunners to intensify their shooting, and at the same time arranged for the suicide squad members to take grenades to blow up the tanks.

However, Gray Wolf had prepared for this move by the Japanese in advance. There were two special forces members on each side of each tank, who were specifically responsible for dealing with the Japanese who posed the greatest threat to the tanks.

There is no way. China's basic industrial base is weak. All the tanks that the mobile forces have now were captured from the Japanese. If one is blown up by the Japanese, there will be one less tank.

The Japanese suicide squads holding grenades were shot dead one after another by the special forces. They could never get close to the tanks of the First Army.

The tanks of the First Army advanced rapidly forward while firing at the Japanese's firing points.

With the assistance of tanks, the soldiers of the First Army finally broke through the fortifications that were piled with the corpses of the Japanese devils.

The Japanese retreated and reorganized a new defense line. Mortars also began to bombard the tanks of the First Army, but it was useless.

The mortar only injured the infantry next to the tank, and the tank continued to move forward.

Suddenly, a Japanese soldier rushed down from the second floor next to the street towards the first tank with two grenades in his hands.

A special forces soldier jumped onto the stationary tank with his left foot, and then kicked the Japanese soldier who was rushing towards the tank with a whip kick.

The Japanese who were rushing towards the tank were swept away in front of their own position by the special forces. Then two "boom" explosions were heard.

Two grenades blew a hole in the new fortifications built by the Japanese with sandbags.

The first tank took the opportunity to fire at the gap. The soldiers of the Third Brigade shouted and rushed to the new fortifications.

The Japs had no choice but to continue retreating, blocking the enemy and building new fortifications.

The battle lasted until the evening, and the two sides confronted each other at the Japanese's new fortifications.

At around 6 o'clock the next morning, no one knew who fired the first shot, but the meat grinder in Chaoyang County started working again.

In order to completely drive the Japanese out of Chaoyang County, the Third Brigade paid a lot of sacrifices. But this was unavoidable, as street fighting has always been a nightmare for infantry.

The soldiers of the Third Brigade pressed forward step by step with the support of tanks and mortars, and the Japanese retreated step by step. But even if the Japanese retreated step by step, they also advanced step by step. Every time the Third Brigade captured a new fortification of the Japanese, it had to pay a heavy price.

But for the safety of the area around Chaoyang County and its subsequent construction and development, the current sacrifices are worth it.

The battle lasted until dusk, and the setting sun slowly sank into the west like a dying blood, and both sides stopped fighting.

The devil's army was advancing too fast. At this rate, Chaoyang County would not last a week. They had already retreated to the north gate of Chaoyang County. Colonel Inoue called everyone together to discuss countermeasures.

A squadron leader proposed a way to stop the devil troops. Colonel Inoue agreed and ordered the squadron leader to stop the first wave of attack by the devil troops tomorrow morning.
