Devil's Army

The company commander and his soldiers quickly followed and quickly entered the artillery tower.

The second platoon leader was leading his soldiers at the gate of the artillery tower and shooting at the Japanese.

Then the platoon leader who rushed into the artillery tower led his soldiers to the second floor.

Some soldiers threw grenades at the Japanese downstairs, while others fired fiercely at the Japanese outside the artillery tower through the firing holes.

The soldiers of the first company used the artillery tower built by the Japanese to attack the Japanese. They felt indescribably happy.

The Japanese, lacking artillery, were unable to capture the artillery tower they had built and had to start retreating.

A company commander ordered his soldiers to pass through the artillery tower and pursue the retreating Japanese.

The first battalion commander ordered the second and third companies to follow.

The Japanese squadron leader led his soldiers and puppet troops all the way to the village entrance before they gained a foothold.

The villagers had already fled after hearing the gunshots. The Japanese relied on obstacles at the entrance of the village to block the attack of the First Army soldiers and waited for reinforcements from the Fengtian army.

The squadron leader was right. Fengtian did send a large group of Japanese troops to reinforce.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel who led the team had fought with the First Army several times and knew that the First Army was good at attacking reinforcements, so he walked cautiously along the way. The troops advanced slowly, but they were not ambushed by the First Army.

When the large army reached a small road, the major stopped the troops and then ordered a squadron to search forward.

The commander of the Third Regiment, who was ambushing on both sides of the path, was anxious when he saw this. If he fought, the Japanese behind him would definitely not enter the encirclement. If he didn't fight, this squadron of Japanese would pass through this path smoothly and reinforce the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine.

Finally, the Third Regiment Commander decided to let go of this reconnaissance squadron and concentrate on encircling and annihilating the large force behind them.

Who knew that the Japanese major leading the team was so cunning. When he saw that the reconnaissance squadron had passed the path smoothly, he ordered another squadron to follow.

We have no choice but to fight, the Japanese will break through the encirclement one squadron at a time.

The commander of the Third Regiment ordered the Third Battalion, as a reserve, to quickly catch up with the Japanese reconnaissance squadron that had just passed by and block their way forward. Other troops began to attack the Japanese squadron that had entered the encirclement.

The Japanese in the encirclement, who had been prepared for this, immediately organized a counterattack. At the same time, the large Japanese force outside the encirclement began to attack the soldiers of the First Army on both wings of the path.

The Japanese squadron that had already passed the encirclement asked if they wanted to return for reinforcements?

The major refused and ordered the squadron of Japanese troops that had already broken through the encirclement to advance quickly to Wangjiadagou Gold Mine to reinforce it.

The Japanese reconnaissance squadron received the order and quickly approached the Wangjiadagou gold mine.

However, the Japanese reconnaissance squadron was soon hit head-on by the 3rd Battalion which had caught up with them.

The third battalion had sufficient manpower, and once the battle started, three companies divided into three groups to besiege the Japanese reconnaissance squadron, which put a lot of pressure on the Japanese reconnaissance squadron.

However, their mission was to reinforce the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine, so the squadron leader ordered two teams to block the attacks of the devil troops on both wings, and the other troops made every effort to break through to the front.

The Sixth Brigade had not experienced the baptism of war for many months. This battle was the first since the New Year of 1934. Most of the soldiers in the Third Regiment were veterans. Their military quality was not lower than that of the Kwantung Army, and their shooting skills and coordination were even slightly better than those of the Kwantung Army.

The Japanese reconnaissance squadron rushed east and west, but could not break through the defense line of the Third Battalion.

The major ordered the Japanese troops outside the encirclement to attack the devil troops on both wings while asking for help from Fengtian.

Commander Ling Kulong received the telegram from the major, and then he realized that the devil troops attacking Wangjia Dagou Gold Mine were far more than the two battalions they reported. Instead, they had at least two main regiments, four to five thousand people. However, this was also in line with the devil troops' combat methods that Commander Ling Kulong was familiar with.

Commander Ling Qilong ordered the regiment that had arrived a year ago and was currently in training to bring five new tanks, apply for ammunition, and prepare for reinforcement together with the regiment originally stationed in Fengtian.

Commander Ling Qilong's new reinforcements had not yet set out. Except for a company of the 1st Regiment that stayed behind to guard the intersection of the road leading from Fushun to Tieling County, all the other soldiers of the 3rd Brigade had already arrived at the 3rd Regiment's position.

The commander of the first regiment handed a cigarette to the commander of the third regiment. He saw that the third regiment had been unable to defeat the Japanese brigade for a long time, so he said to the commander of the third regiment:

"Fatty Zhang, your regiment hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and your teeth are not in good condition. Please step aside and let our regiment take over. I guarantee that our regiment will eat up this large group of Japanese soldiers until there is nothing left."

"We have good teeth. We can not only eat meat and chew tendons, but also drink marrow. You guys can go wherever you want."

The three team leaders burst into laughter.

However, the battle process must be accelerated. Otherwise, if Fengtian sends reinforcements, the Third Brigade will not have completed its fortifications and will be in a passive position in the battle.

The Japanese soldiers in the artillery tower were still hiding in the village, struggling to hold on, waiting for reinforcements from Fengtian.

The Japanese reconnaissance squadron launched three large-scale charges in succession, but they were all blocked by the Third Battalion of the Third Regiment. They no longer had the strength to organize a large-scale attack. With the consent of the major, they began to retreat and joined the main force to block the siege of the First and Second Battalions of the Third Regiment.

The troops of the Third Battalion that were pursuing the Japanese reconnaissance squadron also surrounded them.

Seeing that there was no way to break through the defense line of the Devil's troops, the major had to retreat towards Fengtian with the remaining troops, while telegraphing Commander Ling Qilong.
