Devil's Army

The colonel only had three tanks left, and he didn't dare to take the risk of sending all three tanks out. So he only planned to send one tank for the second charge. However, he sent six scouts to the front and flanks of the tank to watch out for the Devil's troops' weapons to destroy the tanks.

The Japanese artillery began to bombard the fortifications of the Second Regiment again

The fortifications of the Second Regiment were not reinforced with reinforced concrete, and began to collapse under the intensive bombardment of two waves of artillery shells from the Japanese.

The Second Regiment tried to blow up the enemy's artillery positions, but the artillery's calculations disappointed them. The enemy's artillery positions were beyond the range of their 150mm howitzers.

It seems that the Japs have been guarding against their 150mm howitzers.

The Japanese artillery bombardment had not stopped yet, and a squadron of Japanese began to charge.

The artillery bombardment stopped and the visibility of the Devil's position began to improve.

The tanks assisting the attack accelerated their charge, and most of the infantry in the front were thrown behind the tanks. Six scouts searched nervously in front of the tanks and on both wings.

Suddenly, the two scouts in front of the tank saw a ball of fire coming out of the front position of the devil's troops. Then a shell with a flame trailing behind it flew towards the tank.

Then the tank suddenly stopped while it was moving, and the entire turret was blown away. Several Japanese soldiers nearby were also hit by the blown-away turret.

The six scouts who completed their mission quickly retreated and returned to the headquarters to report to the colonel.

Soon the colonel got the information he wanted: the tank was destroyed by a small, mobile cannon.

Although he had the intelligence, the colonel was troubled by how to blow up this small cannon, because it was too easy to move and could be carried by a soldier.

Commander Ling Qilong also had a headache after receiving the intelligence from the colonel. This devilish army was very different from other Chinese armies he had encountered and was quite difficult to deal with. Moreover, new weapons were constantly emerging.

But they have to fight no matter how difficult it is, otherwise the people of the Great Japanese Empire can only hide in Yuwan and recuperate.

The Japanese squadron that made the second charge did not suffer much artillery fire, and it seemed that the devil's troops were running out of artillery shells.

The colonel was secretly delighted and ordered his troops to speed up the charge, and at the same time ordered the two squadrons behind to follow quickly.

When the first squadron rushed to within a hundred meters of the Devil Force's position, it was stopped by the light machine gun and heavy machine gun fire points of the Devil Force's position.

The colonel ordered mortars and mountain artillery to bombard the light and heavy machine gun fire points in the Devil's troops' positions.

However, it seemed that the light and heavy machine gun fire points in the devil troops’ positions could never be completely bombed. As soon as one side was bombed, a new fire point would appear over there.

The two subsequent squadrons of Japanese soldiers also followed, and the three squadrons formed a charging posture in front of the position.

At this time, the Devil's troops, who originally thought that they had insufficient artillery shells, intensively bombarded the three Japanese squadrons in front of the position with their mortars and mountain artillery.

The three squadrons of Japanese soldiers in front of the position had nowhere to hide and could only lie on the ground with their heads in their hands, praying that the shells would not fall near them.

Because the Japanese were very close to the First Army's position, their artillery bombardment had already stopped.

Just as the First Army's artillery bombardment stopped, the soldiers of the First Army on the position launched a counterattack at the right time.

The first squadron of Japanese soldiers in front of the position could not resist and was forced to retreat. The retreat led to the two squadrons behind to flee back immediately.

The colonel's second charge was repelled by the devil's troops.

It turned out that the devil troops were not short of shells, but felt that the Japanese troops in front of the position were too dispersed. "This group of cunning Chinese people," the colonel cursed the army in his heart.

At this time, the baggage and artillery ordered to reinforce had all arrived.

The colonel deployed five 100mm howitzers and began bombarding the First Army's positions.

At this time, the First Company of the First Battalion of the Second Regiment stationed at the frontline had suffered more than half of its casualties after two rounds of artillery bombardment by the Japanese and blocking two rounds of Japanese charges, and many parts of the position had collapsed.

If the Japanese retreated, there would definitely be artillery bombardment soon, so the company commander only left a few observers and the other soldiers retreated to the back.

The commander of the first battalion wanted to withdraw the first company and replace it with the second company.

The company commander refused, and asked to hold off one more attack from the Japanese before retreating. The battalion commander agreed.

The Japanese artillery shells arrived as expected, and what they came from were not mortars or mountain cannons, but the more powerful 100mm howitzers.

The captain of the first company was glad that most of his troops had been withdrawn, otherwise his company would have suffered heavy casualties in the artillery attack. But he was a little worried about the observers.

The bombardment of the Japanese 100mm howitzers had not yet stopped, and a squadron of Japanese troops had begun to slowly move towards the First Army's position following the sound of artillery fire.

The Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, and with a wave of the company commander's hand, the soldiers quickly rushed into the fortifications.

Seeing that the firepower of the devil troops in front was already weaker than before, the colonel ordered the other two squadrons to follow up.

He wanted to use human wave tactics to break through the defense of the devil troops' positions.

It is impolite not to reciprocate. Since the Japanese attacked them with 100mm howitzers, they must greet them with 150mm howitzers.

When the three Japanese squadrons rushed to the position, the First Army's five 150mm howitzers opened fire.

The terrifying whistling sound of the 150mm grenade flew towards the Japanese in front of the First Army’s position.

The terrifying killing power of the 150mm grenade swept everywhere it went. Within its effective killing radius, the Japanese stones and leaves on the ground were swept away and splashed in all directions.

The Japanese army's third charge was repelled again. The colonel's subordinates once again asked him to use special forces.
