Devil's Army

Chapter 573: The Japs are about to break through the defense line

The Japanese in Lingyuan were very fierce and launched five waves of attacks in one morning.

The commander of the second battalion had already arrived above the first company's position. Seeing that the first company was beginning to have difficulty in blocking the Japanese, he sent the first company over to replace the first battalion's first company.

The company commander of the first battalion was injured in an artillery attack by the Japanese and was rushed to a temporary hospital by two soldiers.

Soon after the Jinhuashan battle began, Yuan Wanting brought all the backbone personnel of Chaoyang County Temporary Hospital to the Second Battalion. The closer the hospital was to the front line, the more lives it could save.

The deputy company commander of the first battalion did not want to retreat. His machine gun squad was completely wiped out. The entire company now could not even pick out a usable machine gun. He wanted to avenge his comrades who died in the first company and beat the Japanese one more time.

However, the second battalion commander disagreed and ordered them to carry the bodies of their fallen comrades down the mountain.

At this time, an embarrassing scene occurred. Even counting the injured soldiers, the company was still unable to carry all the bodies of their fallen comrades down the mountain.

The second battalion commander silently asked their second company to help support the injured soldiers of the first company of the first battalion and carry the bodies of the fallen soldiers down the mountain.

The snow in front of the company's position was originally white, but now many places were dyed brown and red. Some places were burned by the war and the original color of the soil was revealed.

In order to prevent the Japanese artillery fire, the company commander of the second battalion also ordered the second and third platoons to retreat to the defensive artillery trench behind the position to avoid artillery fire.

Before the second and third platoons had time to evacuate completely, the Japanese artillery began bombing again.

After lunch, the first blocking battle started. This time, the Japanese also sent out tanks. Four tanks creaked through the road at the foot of the mountain, bombing the positions of the first company as they passed.

Two 40mm rocket soldiers from the 40st Company of the nd Battalion immediately picked up the mm rocket launcher and began aiming at the tank, preparing to attack.

At this time, a mortar shell exploded next to a 40 rocket soldier. The 40 rocket soldier swayed and fell down with a plop, and the 40 rocket launcher in his hand also rolled down the mountain.

Never let a 40 rocket launcher fall into the hands of the Japanese. This was repeatedly emphasized by the superiors during the training of their 40 rocket soldiers.

Another 40mm rocket soldier suddenly jumped out of the trench, ran a few steps, and flew towards the 40mm rocket launcher that was slowly rolling down.

The 40th rocket soldier bent over, holding the 40th rocket launcher, and slowly crawled back, preparing to return to the trench.

But his exaggerated actions had already alarmed the Japanese, and two machine guns on the Japanese position were aimed at him. "Da da da..." A series of bullets swept over.

This 40th Rocket Army soldier fell on his way back while holding a 40th rocket launcher.

What's even more terrible is that the four Japanese tanks did not engage with them at all, and rushed towards Jianchang County at full speed.

The two 40mm rocket launcher soldiers of the 40st Company of the nd Battalion were killed. Without the attack of the mm rocket launcher, the Japanese tanks rushed forward unimpeded.

Although other soldiers in the company had also been trained on how to use the 40 rocket launcher, their accuracy and proficiency were much worse because they had not received nearly as much training time as the professional 40 rocket soldiers.

But at this time we can only try our best to save the situation.

An old soldier picked up the 40 rocket launcher left in the trench by the 40th rocket soldier who jumped out of the trench and aimed at the first moving tank.

With a slight sound, a 40 rocket trailing flames flew towards the first Japanese tank.

After a loud "boom" explosion, the infantry behind the Japanese's first tank were blown over.

The driver and crew of the first Japanese tank were also startled and quickly turned the gun to aim at the place where the old soldier had just been.

When the veteran saw the tank's gun was turning towards him, he quickly rolled to the side holding the rocket launcher.

The tank fired three shells in succession at the veteran's original position, creating a large hole where the veteran was, and then continued to move forward.

If the advance of the Japanese tanks cannot be effectively resisted, the Japanese infantry will likely break through the company's blockade under the cover of the tanks.

When the battalion commander received a call from the company commander, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

The first company of the first battalion resisted five waves of attacks from the Japanese in one morning, but his first company couldn't even resist a single wave of attacks from the Japanese. How could he put his face on the ground?

But at this time he also discovered that the Japanese had changed their tactics. They no longer focused on attacking their positions as they did in the morning, but instead focused on attacking their positions as a supplement and breaking through their positions as the main strategy.

The second battalion commander called the first regiment commander to report this new situation.

The Fifth Brigade Commander at the regiment headquarters took the call and ordered the Second Battalion Commander to find a way to delay the Japanese for an hour and let them in after an hour.

The Second and Third Regiments of the Fifth Brigade have arrived at the designated location and are now building fortifications on both sides of the paths leading to Jianchang County from Jinhua Mountain, preparing to ambush the Japanese attack force.

The commander of the first company of the second battalion breathed a sigh of relief when he received the order. They only needed to hold the Japanese for an hour to complete the mission. Even if he had to send soldiers to bite them with their teeth, he had to hold the Japanese tanks at the foot of the mountain.

He took the 40mm rocket launcher from the veteran, ran to the trench and got a 40mm rocket, and began to aim at the first tank of the Japanese.

With a loud "boom", the turret of the first Japanese tank that was moving at full speed was blown away, and Goran stopped moving forward.
