Devil's Army

At the dock, the Japanese troops were still transporting munitions from the north of Xiaoliang River.

A train of arms arrived in Changtu County today. Because the railway bridge was destroyed, it can only be transported by ship.

In fact, Major Zuochuan had a train of ammunition hijacked by the devil troops, and the chiefs of staff of the Kwantung Army headquarters were furious. They immediately demoted Major Zuochuan to captain. However, since there was no suitable commander to replace him, he was allowed to temporarily retain the post of commander of Kaiyuan City, and he would resign immediately when the new commander sent by the headquarters arrived.

During this period, the devil troops were the most violent in the Northeast region that they had taken over. The headquarters had no choice but to send him another military train of munitions, asking them to cooperate with the Japanese troops in Fengtian and Jinzhou to encircle and suppress this group of devil troops.

The arms at the dock were still being transported, but what surprised the lieutenant in charge of transporting the arms was that the fifteen trucks carrying the arms had not returned.

The lieutenant did not wait for the fifteen trucks, but received a call from Major Zuochuan: fifteen trucks transporting arms were hijacked by the devil's troops during transportation and their whereabouts are still unknown, so the lieutenant was asked to be on high alert.

The lieutenant panicked when he heard this. If something went wrong with the arms at the dock in his hands, it would not just be a matter of dismissal, but rather he would lose his life.

The lieutenant immediately ordered the soldiers to increase the density and intensity of patrols.

All this was seen by a group of soldiers who were mixed in by pretending to be dock workers.

All the arms were finally transported. A group of soldiers who had been watching outside the dock received the signal and immediately launched an attack on the Japanese at the dock.

What was supposed to come finally came. The lieutenant immediately organized an attack and reported to Major Zuochuan at the same time.

Major Zuo Chuan was already in a state of panic due to the devil troops attacking Kaiyuan City and the devil troops in the city who hijacked his ammunition truck. The lieutenant's phone call only added fuel to the fire.

Major Zuochuan didn't know whether the devil troops that attacked the dock were the same devil troops that hijacked his ammunition truck, but he still ordered the large group of Japanese troops that had originally reinforced the convoy to reinforce the dock immediately.

Major Zuo Chuan had half a battalion of Japanese troops stationed at the dock, more than 600 people. Although they were outnumbered by the Devil's First Regiment, they relied on the familiar terrain to stubbornly block the attack of the First Regiment. The First Regiment could not do anything to them for a while.

Just as the lieutenant was trying his best to resist the attack of the regiment, his backyard caught fire.

A platoon of soldiers from a regiment disguised as loaders took out suitable weapons from the ammunition they were carrying and fired fiercely at the lieutenant and his men from behind.

Lieutenant Leng Bufan and his men suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers of the first regiment took the opportunity to intensify their attack.

Slowly, a gap was created in the lieutenant's defense line by a group.

A regiment of soldiers increased their firepower, attacked and charged fiercely, and slowly widened the gap.

Finally the lieutenant was powerless to save the situation. He led the few remaining Japanese soldiers in a desperate attempt to blow up the munitions at the dock and perish together with the evil army.

But the platoon that had sneaked in earlier firmly controlled the entrance to the dock.

The lieutenant's conspiracy failed, and he and half a battalion of Japanese troops were all wiped out by the First Army.

The first and second regiment commanders immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield and evacuate the coolies on the dock and nearby civilians. They would then have to deal with the devil's more brutal counterattack.

The first to arrive were the large group of Japanese soldiers who were reinforcing the convoy. They were blocked by the First Battalion of the Second Regiment outside the dock.

This group of Japanese troops' reinforcement convoy had already failed. If they failed at the dock again this time, the captain would not be able to explain to Major Zuochuan.

So when this large group of Japanese soldiers were blocked by the First Battalion outside the dock, they immediately ordered their troops to launch continuous charges on the First Battalion in the size of a squadron.

This desperate charge also caused great damage to the first battalion.

Soldiers from the first battalion kept falling, and the number of people able to fight dropped sharply.

A regimental commander temporarily set up a mortar position using the artillery that was transported over, and launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese who were charging desperately.

The captain, who was not carrying any heavy weapons, suffered heavy casualties and began to retreat.

The first battalion arranged scouts to follow up and report the location of this group of Japanese devils in a timely manner.

The captain was still retreating with the remaining troops, and the artillery of the first regiment had already aimed five assembled 100mm howitzers at them.

There was a whistling sound, and five 100mm grenades fell one after another into the retreating group of Japanese devils.

This brigade of Japanese soldiers completely lost their combat effectiveness.

While the First Battalion was fighting fiercely with the captain's group of Japanese soldiers, the Japanese reinforcements coming from the other direction of the dock also fought with the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment.

The devils from this direction also came with a large group of more than 1,000 people. They had never fought with the First Army, but they participated in the attack on the Northeast Army. So although they had heard the name of the devil army many times, they still subconsciously regarded the First Army as the Northeast Army.

The sharp-eyed second battalion commander quickly saw through the arrogance of this Japanese army.

While pretending to be a coward and retreating, he asked for help from the artillery unit. Thirty minutes later, the artillery shells covered their current position.
