Devil's Army

Chapter 424: The Japanese Cavalry Enters the Stage

Just when Brother Guo thought Xiaoliu was too nervous, many corpses in front of the fortifications moved and kept throwing grenades into the fortifications of the second company.

The constantly exploding grenades mercilessly harvested the lives of the soldiers of the Second Company in the fortifications.

The soldiers who were not killed shouted, "There are Japs, there are Japs..." and began shooting outside the fortifications.

The Japanese army ignored the soldiers who were hit and continued to rush into the fortifications.

The intermittent shooting of the Second Company in the fortifications could not stop the Japanese soldiers who kept rushing upwards.

Then the gunfire in the fortifications stopped and turned into the ping-pong sound of bayonet fighting.

When the battalion commander heard the sudden gunfire coming from the fortifications, he knew something was wrong and immediately led the third company to reinforce.

However, as the Third Company approached the fortifications, the Japanese machine guns in front of the fortifications started firing at them, blocking them outside the fortifications.

Gradually, the sound of bayonet fighting in the fortifications also stopped. The Japanese jumped into the fortifications one after another and fired at the third company.

The third company commander looked at the lost fortifications, and with tears in his eyes, he led his soldiers to retreat behind the second fortification guarded by the second battalion.

The commander of the first battalion and his men also retreated to the headquarters of the second battalion.

The first and second battalion commanders were smoking together, and both looked very unhappy.

A battalion commander suddenly threw away his cigarette butt and said, "No, we have to take back the fortifications."

"Don't go. The fortifications have actually been occupied by the Japanese. If you go, it will only increase the casualties of the troops."

"I have to go. I can't afford to lose face." said the battalion commander with a sad face.

"That's enough. You still have the nerve to cry." The commander of the first regiment suddenly walked into the second battalion headquarters and shouted at the commander of the first battalion: "It has always been our Sixth Brigade that fought against the Japanese ambush. But you let the Japanese ambush you in return and lost your position. You have brought shame to our regiment."

"Captain, please stop talking. The battalion commander is already feeling bad enough."

"Being uncomfortable is useless. I've been telling you to be alert. Where is your alertness? A whole company was wiped out except for the wounded who retreated. How can I put my face down? When the people in the Sixth Brigade talk about our regiment, they will say that one of our companies was wiped out by the Japanese. How shameful!"

"Commander, I will lead the third company to take back the position." The commander of the first battalion wanted to leave the command post, but was stopped by the commander of the first regiment: "Stop, do you still want to throw my third company in? The Japanese have already established their foothold and are waiting for you to rush into the bullets."

"Second battalion commander, be alert and guard the second line of fortification." After saying this, the regiment commander left angrily.

"Brother, the boss is really mad at you this time." The second battalion commander said to the first battalion commander.

"Alas, I really didn't expect that the Japs, who are not good at night attacks, would actually launch a night attack on us."

The next morning, the second battalion commander observed the enemy's position through the telescope. As he expected, the enemy had moved their troops to the vicinity of the first fortification.

At this time, the gold mine was back on track, and the commander of the Eighth Brigade had nothing to do, so he went to the Sixth Brigade Command Headquarters with the political commissar of the Eighth Brigade to check out the situation.

Soon Chilang and his men learned that the Second Company of the First Regiment had been attacked by the Japanese at night and had lost the first line of fortification. Now Brigadier General Liu was arranging for the troops to build the third line of fortification.

The second fortification where the second battalion was stationed was being bombarded by the Japanese artillery.

"The Japanese successfully launched a sneak attack last night and may repeat the same trick tonight. You must be vigilant." Chilang said to Liu Yaohua.

"I gave the order early in the morning. It is said that the Japanese have come with 7,000 to 8,000 men this time. Brother Guozhu, do you have any good strategies to resist the enemy?"

"I don't have any good strategy to repel the enemy. Anyway, you have to avoid the artillery fire and maintain your manpower. When necessary, seize the opportunity to attack the Japanese. Offense is the best defense. If they attack you, you should find an opportunity to attack them. After all, you have fought many surprise attacks in Qingyuan."

"Hehe, the one who knows me best is Brother Guozhu. A night attack is impossible. The Japs must be on guard against this move of ours. I have sent out scouts to see if they can find their headquarters or artillery positions to give them a lesson."

At this time, the colonel had launched two waves of attacks on the second battalion's position, but both were blocked by the first company of the second battalion.

"Colonel, it's time to mobilize the special forces. Otherwise, if we wait for the Chinese to build a third line of defense, even if we take down the second line of defense, we will have to take down the third line of defense. When will this end?"

"Okay, order them to attack immediately after they are ready!"

The subordinate took the order and left.

After a while, a noise that had never been heard before came from the Sixth Brigade Headquarters. The noise became louder and louder, and the ground began to tremble.

"Oh no! It's the Japanese cavalry." Chilang was the first to react.

The infantry were sheep to be slaughtered by the cavalry.

"Order the infantry to retreat into the woods and organize machine gun fire."

However, the Japanese cavalry advanced very quickly. Just as Brigade Commander Liu passed the order to the second battalion's position, the Japanese cavalry had already rushed to the fortifications of the first company of the second battalion.

The company commander immediately ordered shooting and throwing of grenades.

But the cavalry quickly rushed to the fortifications.

As the Japanese warhorses jumped over the fortifications, they threw grenades into the fortifications, and at the same time, they wielded their cold sabers to hack at the soldiers of the army on top of the fortifications.

The Japanese cavalry moved in and out of the Second Battalion's fortifications at will, repeatedly bombing the First Army's soldiers inside the fortifications and hacking at the First Army's soldiers outside the fortifications.

What's even more terrible is that the Japanese cavalry can rush to the headquarters of the Sixth Brigade in a flash. Is the Sixth Brigade going to repeat the same mistake?
