Devil's Army

The signalman trotted to Wang Zhuangfei, and Wang Zhuangfei ordered the soldiers to immediately contact the 5th Brigade outside the city and request the 5th Brigade to send a regiment from the direction of Jinzhou to surround and attack the Jiogu Regiment.

Soon the commander of the Fifth Brigade replied and immediately arranged for the first regiment to take action.

Colonel Isokuro was very dissatisfied with the progress of the battle by the lieutenant colonel, so he personally sat in the command center and urged the lieutenant colonel to arrange the soldiers to attack Songlingmen Town.

The Japanese artillery fire had not stopped yet, and the second squadron of devils began to cautiously approach the first company's position.

Less than 200 meters away from the fortifications, the Japanese squadron quickened their pace and rushed towards the fortifications howling.

But when they rushed into the fortifications, the Japanese were dumbfounded. In the fortifications, apart from the bodies of the fallen soldiers of the Devil's Army, there was not a single soldier of the Devil's Army to be seen.

"Were all the Devil's Army soldiers in the fortifications killed by the shells? That's unlikely. There must be some survivors."

The squadron leader ordered the soldiers to search again carefully, but the result was the same.

Since I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. Anyway, the fortifications have been occupied and the process is no longer important.

This squadron of Japanese soldiers did not continue to charge, but confronted the devil soldiers of Songlingmen Town across the fortifications, while starting to cook and prepare lunch.

The 3rd Regiment of the 4th Brigade followed the 2nd Regiment into Huludao and had been carrying out the clearing work, but had not yet fought a decent battle. The soldiers were full of anger and their morale was high, and they were ready to kill the devils ruthlessly.

This squadron of Japanese soldiers successfully occupied the outer fortifications of Songlingmen Town without losing a single soldier, and their morale was high.

When two highly motivated troops meet, it is bound to be a brutal bloody battle. However, the attack and defense have been reversed, and the casualties of the Japanese are bound to be much greater.

Colonel Murata's Yamato battleship fled back to Jinzhou Port with injuries, and immediately reported to the Navy Command: The devil troops have unknown weapons to attack warships. My Yamato is damaged and is being repaired in Jinzhou Port.

The commander of the Navy Headquarters got angry when he heard this and cursed: "The Army is a bunch of bastards. The devil troops had a secret weapon to attack warships, but they didn't even inform them."

He immediately called the Kwantung Army headquarters to demand accountability.

The Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately called Commander Ling Qilong.

Commander Ling Kulong asked helplessly: "I don't have any warships, and I have never fought a naval battle with the devil's army. How do I know that they have secret weapons to attack warships?"

The Navy Command was silenced by the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Yes, the Army did not have warships. The matter was left unresolved.

At around 1:00 p.m., the well-fed Japanese soldiers began their attack on Songlingmen Town.

It was still a familiar routine. The Japanese mortars and mountain cannons began intensive bombardment of the city walls.

The Japanese 100mm howitzer fired a round like a thief and then stopped and moved to another position.

The first company of the first battalion of the third regiment was responsible for this defense. They were all hiding from the Japanese artillery fire under the city wall.

The mortars of the first battalion also adjusted their firing parameters behind the first company and prepared to attack.

The two 150mm howitzers that were reinforcing the Third Regiment have also arrived. The five 150mm howitzers have no attack missions and are waiting for the opportunity.

The Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, but sporadic bombardment continued. The Japanese infantry began to charge.

The Third Regiment is an old unit from Hejiazhai. They were poor before, so the best heavy weapon they had was the hand grenade. They took the hand grenade to a new level.

When the company commander saw the Japanese start to charge, he was not in a hurry to fight back. He waited until the Japanese were within thirty or forty meters away from the city wall before he started shouting to attack.

The light and heavy machine guns and rifles of the first company aimed at the Japanese a hundred meters away and fired. The Japanese in front were dealt with by hand grenades and hand grenades. Moreover, after pulling the trigger on the hand grenades, the soldiers of the first company waited one or two seconds before throwing them down the city wall.

Most of the grenades and hand grenades exploded in the air, and countless shrapnel flew around like black snowflakes.

The Japanese soldiers under the city wall fell one after another. The Japanese soldiers behind wanted to rush over but were stopped by machine guns and rifles.

The squadron leader, who suffered heavy casualties, ordered the Japanese army to temporarily stop the attack, take a short rest and then launch a new attack.

Due to the lack of trucks, only one and a half battalions of troops from the 5th Brigade arrived at the destination after an hour and a half. The empty trucks immediately went back to pick up the other half battalion of troops who were on a forced march. The soldiers of the half battalion that arrived at the destination began to surround Colonel Isoko's death regiment.

The Japanese squadron leader took a short rest and immediately launched a second charge with the support of artillery.

Just as the squadron captain's second charge was still continuing, intensive gunfire was heard behind Colonel Isoguru.

The chief of staff reported to Colonel Isokuro that no less than a battalion of devilish troops appeared in the direction of Jinzhou.

At this time, after two battles in Songlingmen Town, the Jigu League had lost a battalion of troops. The current force was not enough to deal with the Songlingmen Town, which had already increased its troops. If the Devil Army sent a battalion or even a regiment to cut off his retreat, he would be completely annihilated in Songlingmen Town.

Colonel Isokuro ordered the rear guard to become the vanguard and to defeat the devil's troops in the direction of Jinzhou with all their strength.

Upon seeing this, the 150mm heavy artillery at Songlingmen Town immediately opened fire on the retreating Japanese.

At this time, the artillery of the Isoko Regiment bombarded the temporary positions of the Fifth Brigade with all its might, and tore a hole in the resistance of the Fifth Brigade's one and a half battalions and fled to Jinzhou.
