Devil's Army

Brigade Commander Liu saw through the telescope that the Second Battalion's position was no longer a position.

There were continuous explosions in the fortifications, and the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were slashing with their sabers, and the soldiers of the Second Battalion fell one after another.

The second battalion commander had also been organizing a counterattack, but the soldiers were cut down by the rushing Japanese cavalry before they could fire many rounds.

The messenger was still shouting dutifully: "Run to the woods, run to the woods."

Finally, some soldiers heard the messenger's words and turned around and ran into the woods on both sides. The lush trees could block the speed of the horses' charge.

Some soldiers hid behind trees and shot at the Japanese cavalry.

A Japanese soldier was waving a saber when a messenger rushed over and chopped him down with his sword.

The messenger was a boy less than 20 years old, and he was quite short. When he saw the shining saber coming at him, he quickly squatted down and dodged the knife.

But as soon as he stood up, another cavalryman rushed towards him quickly.

The messenger was unable to dodge and was knocked away by the tall horse.

The Japanese cavalry moved back and forth on the battlefield at will, as if they were in an empty space.

The first company in the position fortifications and the second and third companies behind the fortifications were unable to organize any effective resistance.

There were not many soldiers left on the position who could continue to resist, and they fled to the woods on both sides.

The Japanese cavalry commander left a small group of cavalry to rush into the woods to continue chasing the remaining soldiers of the second battalion, while the large group of cavalry continued to rush northwest to the Wangjiadagou gold mine.

The third line of fortification had not yet been completed, and even the Japanese infantry could not be effectively resisted, let alone the Japanese cavalry.

What was even more terrible was that the Sixth Brigade Headquarters was not far behind the third fortification. As long as the Japanese cavalry rushed to the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine, they would definitely see the Sixth Brigade Headquarters.

Is the Sixth Brigade Command going to repeat the same mistake of being wiped out?

It was the first time that Brigade Commander Liu fought against the Japanese cavalry, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"Get on the tank, and the machine gunners from the third regiment will follow up." In the moment of crisis, Chilang quickly reminded Liu Yaohua.

Liu Yaohua quickly passed on the order as Chilang said.

Suddenly, the roar of tanks came from the mobile force’s base near the Sixth Brigade’s headquarters.

The two companies of 12 tanks were arranged in six rows, with two tanks in each row, and they roared towards the Japanese cavalry, firing their cannons as they charged, and the machine guns on the tanks also kept firing.

The remaining Third Battalion of the Second Regiment of the Sixth Brigade and the retreating Third Company of the First Battalion immediately organized all their machine gunners, followed the tanks, and fired at the Japanese cavalry.

The 3rd and 1st Regiments of the 6th Brigade also organized their machine gunners to reinforce the 2nd Regiment.

The Japanese cavalry also rushed towards the tanks fiercely, trying to use the grenades in their hands to blow up the tanks of the First Army.

But although the Japanese war horses were fast, they were still mortals. They fell one after another under the dense machine gun and artillery fire from the tanks. Some rushed in front of the tanks, but they were helpless against the iron boxes. Some war horses were even crushed to death or injured by the tanks.

However, the Japanese cavalry still successfully blew up the two tanks in front with grenades.

The tanks behind continued to bombard the enemy cavalry with artillery and machine guns. The enemy cavalry could not resist and began to retreat.

At this time, the second line of fortification had been occupied by the Japanese infantry who followed up.

The tanks of the First Army were blocked by two disabled tanks in the first row in front of them and could not move forward. They could only stop and bomb the second line of fortifications occupied by the Japanese.

The Japanese's mountain artillery position moved forward cautiously, but their five 100mm howitzers did not dare to move forward. They were afraid of being bombarded by the devil's troops' 150mm howitzers.

The Sixth Brigade was afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese cavalry, and for a while it did not dare to send troops to recapture the second line of fortification.

Brigade Commander Liu called the battalion commander of the brigade's direct battalion to the headquarters:

"Captain He, you know that the Second Company of our First Battalion was attacked by the Japanese at night. Except for the wounded who retreated, all the other soldiers were wiped out. Our Second and Third Battalions were also defeated by the Japanese cavalry. Our Second Regiment is finished. I want to send you deep behind enemy lines to see if you can find their headquarters, ammunition depots or artillery positions and turn them upside down. Tell me what support you need."

"Give me a bazooka squad, and I'll bring a radio, and the brigade artillery will support us if necessary."

"That's no problem." Liu Yaohua shouted to the messenger at the door, "Xiao Zhao, go and ask squad leader Hu to bring their bazooka squad to report in."

After a while, Squad Leader Hu and the 15-member rocket launcher squad reported to the brigade headquarters.

"Squad Leader Hu, you take your squad and follow Captain He to carry out a mission."

"Yes," Squad Leader Hu saluted Brigade Commander Liu and replied.

On the front battlefield, the Japanese were afraid of the tanks of the First Army and did not dare to attack in large numbers. The tanks of the First Army were also afraid of being bombed by the Japanese 100mm howitzers and did not dare to advance. In this way, everyone maintained a delicate balance.

Battalion Commander He led the soldiers of their battalion and the soldiers of Squad Leader Hu's squad through the woods and disappeared into the vast forest.
