Devil's Army

As more and more soldiers from the Fourth Brigade sneaked into Kaiyuan City, Feilong became increasingly busier.

Every day they were busy transporting weapons, ammunition, food and medicine from outside Kaiyuan City to the No. 3 secret camp.

In order to strengthen the firepower of the lurking troops, Wang Zhuangfei also transported in five 40 rocket launchers and ammunition.

Secret Camp No. 3 could no longer accommodate so many soldiers, so Li Hongmei led the guerrillas to cut down trees and build barracks.

Secret Camp No. 3 can no longer be called a secret camp. It houses more than 5,000 soldiers and guerrillas.

However, these soldiers and guerrillas basically did not go out, and all daily necessities were transported in from the First Army troops in or outside Kaiyuan City by flying dragons. The devils did not realize that there were thousands of First Army soldiers stationed under his nose.

The guerrillas have been driven around by the Japanese and have never felt as safe as they do today.

On this day, Gao Lao learned from an intelligence agent they had planted in the puppet army that a truckload of supplies would be transported from the dock to Kaiyuan via the highway the day after tomorrow. However, the Japanese soldiers defending the area numbered as many as half a battalion.

In the past, the Japanese also transported goods from the dock to Kaiyuan City via the highway. However, the Japanese troops escorting the goods were usually a squadron. Because the guerrillas of Li Hongmei had basically no way to deal with a squadron of Japanese.

The reason why so many devils were arranged to escort the transport this time was obviously to guard against the devil's troops.

Jackal immediately asked the signalman to contact the headquarters and tell Leng Feng the intelligence, requesting that the battle to retake Kaiyuan City be scheduled for the morning of the day after tomorrow.

Soon, Leng Feng’s reply came: The 1st Brigade will launch the battle to recapture Kaiyuan City at 8 o’clock the day after tomorrow morning.

After receiving Leng Feng's reply, Jackal immediately started to prepare for work. He asked Gao Lao:

"What is this truckload of supplies from the Japanese? At which dock will it be transferred? Will it arrive at the dock in the morning or afternoon of the day after tomorrow?"

But Gao Lao knew nothing about anything, and the information their intelligence agents could obtain was limited.

Jackal analyzed that the frequent movements of the First Army outside Kaiyuan City could not be completely hidden from the Japanese scouts. Therefore, the Japanese in Kaiyuan City would definitely step up their preparations for war.

The cross-river railway bridge for transporting materials in Changtu has not been repaired yet. Therefore, the strategic materials piled up in Changtu can only be transported by ship. Therefore, Jackal analyzed that the materials in the truck of the Japanese were most likely strategic materials.

As for which port to transfer the goods, you can only rely on your own reconnaissance.

One of Li Hongmei's guerrillas led two special forces to conduct reconnaissance at the three docks in Kaiyuan.

Soon, Jackal judged from the feedback from the scouts that the Japanese's transfer terminal was at a terminal near the cross-river railway bridge.

The defense around the railway bridge has been very strict since the railway bridge was bombed, and the Jackal's special forces with more than 100 people have no way to take it down. However, if the supply line of the Japanese is not cut off, it will cause great damage to the siege brigade.

Jackal discussed with the commander of the first regiment of the Fourth Brigade and decided to transfer a battalion from their first or second regiment to assist their special forces in attacking the Japanese highway transport convoy, and the remaining forces of the first and second regiments would capture the Japanese material transfer terminal.

A regimental commander assigned a battalion to the command of Jackal, and the other troops also prepared for battle.

In the early morning of the third day, the commander of the first regiment led the remaining soldiers of the second regiment towards the dock near the railway bridge.

At eight o'clock, Jackal led the special forces and the first battalion of the first regiment to ambush the Japanese on the road that they had to take to return to Kaiyuan City.

At the same time, at eight o'clock, a brigade of soldiers who had gathered at several gates of Kaiyuan City began to bombard the city walls of Kaiyuan City.

What Major Zuochuan worried about finally happened. The devil's army began to attack his Kaiyuan City.

Just when Major Zuochuan was busy mobilizing troops to defend Kaiyuan City, soldiers reported that trucks transporting ammunition were attacked by the devil's troops.

Major Zuo Chuan couldn't help but curse: "This group of devil troops really know how to pick a time to cause trouble."

But no matter how angry he was, Major Zuochuan still sent a large team to reinforce.

This large group of Japanese reinforcements were blocked by the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion before they could even get near the transport team.

The first company evacuated the residents on both sides in advance, and then hid in the residents' houses to block the Japanese reinforcements.

The first company piled up wood, boxes and other debris on the front of the road and began to block the Japanese.

Meanwhile, a fierce battle was already underway between the Jackals and the Japanese transport team.

Since the dock was not too far from the munitions depot, the Japanese only arranged fifteen trucks to transport the goods.

There were no obstacles on the road, so the Japanese could only rely on trucks to fight back.

The Jackal's special forces and the remaining two companies of the first battalion occupied the obstacles on both sides of the road and continued to shoot at the Japanese.

The Japs fought back passively and were knocked down repeatedly.

The battle on the transport team's side was still going on fiercely. A messenger from the first company came over to ask for help: the first company could no longer hold on.

"Second Captain, go over and reinforce the First Captain and his men. Hold out for another hour. We will find a way to steal the ammunition."

The second company commander received orders to withdraw the fight against the transport team and ran to reinforce the first company.

When the second company rushed over, the first company was already retreating while resisting.

The second company commander immediately ordered the soldiers to set up fortifications and at the same time ordered the artillery to fire at the Japanese who were approaching the first company.
