Devil's Army

The awakened Japanese soldiers looked around nervously but found nothing unusual.

Just as the awakened Japanese soldiers were about to curse the sergeant, they found that smoking grenades were thrown into the fortifications.

Along with the sound of grenade explosion, intensive gunfire and the shouts of soldiers from the First Army were heard outside the fortifications.

The Japanese in the fortifications fought back hastily, but they didn't know where the devil's troops were attacking from.

The Japanese in the fortifications began to come to their senses and fired at the place outside the fortifications where the gunfire was intensive. But at this time, the soldiers of the second and third companies had already rushed to the vicinity of the fortifications. They used grenades and guns at the same time.

Gradually, the sound of gunfire in the fortifications became sparse and finally stopped.

The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain and on the trail heard the gunshots and knew that their Jinhua Mountain position was attacked by the devil troops. But they did not dare to send troops to help. Because they did not know how many people the devil troops had, and they did not know whether the devil troops had set up an ambush to attack the reinforcements.

The communications soldier of the third company sent a message to the battalion headquarters: the Jinhua Mountain position has been successfully recaptured.

But the reply from the second battalion commander was just twelve simple words: Clean up the battlefield, make good camouflage, and retreat immediately!

The second company commander asked the third company commander in confusion: "We finally reoccupied the Jinhua Mountain position, why are we retreating?"

The third company commander spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's the battalion headquarters' order. I don't know why. Clean up the battlefield and withdraw?"

The third company commander and his men retreated to the battalion headquarters, but the second battalion commander had not yet fallen asleep.

The second battalion commander was holding a cup of strong tea. When he saw the third company commander and his men had safely retreated, he hurried forward and asked, "Are you all back? Are there any casualties?"

"Battalion Commander, we are all back. We launched a surprise attack and the Japanese were not prepared, so our casualties were not heavy. We also carried back the fallen soldiers."

"it is good".

At this time, the second battalion commander saw the second company commander angrily pick up a stool with his foot, then sat down on it without saying a word.

"Oh, my grandson has emotions?"

"Battalion Commander, did you tell us to give up because it was too easy for us to retake the Jinhua Mountain position?"

The second battalion commander said nothing and pushed the phone next to the command center in front of the second company commander.

"what's wrong?"

"You call the brigade commander and ask him why he is retreating."

"Our brigade commander personally ordered a retreat?"

"The brigade commander surrendered before you even took over the Jinhua Mountain position. Why don't you tell the brigade commander that I won't retreat?"

"Battalion Commander, I dare not." The second company commander responded with a smile.

"I indulged you too much, so you dare to call yourself Laozi to me."

"No, I'm not the battalion commander. I'm not your father. I'm your grandson." The second company commander still said with a smile.

The third company commander couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter in the battalion headquarters.

"Go back and rest. You don't have to do drill tomorrow morning."

The next morning, before the third and second company commanders got up, three Japanese G3M96 bombers began to bombard the Jinhuashan position.

The second and third company commanders hurried to the battalion headquarters. The third company commander took the binoculars from the battalion commander and looked toward the Jinhua Mountain position.

I saw that the Jinhua Mountain position had been completely engulfed by thick smoke and dust.

"Do you know why the brigade commander withdrew you?" the second battalion commander asked the second company commander.

"Yes, if we hadn't withdrawn last night, the Third Company would have suffered more than half of its casualties, just like ours." The Second Company Commander stuck out his tongue in response.

"Have you noticed one more thing? The east side of Jinhua Mountain is also completely occupied by the Japanese. If the Japanese block the road to Jinhua Mountain, you will be trapped."

"Battalion Commander, it's not a turtle, it's a tortoise, a tortoise grandson." The third company commander pointed at the second company commander and said. Everyone in the battalion headquarters laughed.

After the Japanese bombers dropped their bombs and flew away, their artillery continued to bombard the Jinshan position.

While the Japanese artillery was still bombarding the Jinhua Mountain position, the Fifth Brigade Commander called and asked the Second Battalion Commander whether their troops who attacked the Jinhua Mountain position last night had withdrawn.

The second battalion commander praised the fifth brigade commander for his brilliant strategy and told him that the troops that attacked the Jinhuashan position had withdrawn last night.

The Japanese artillery bombarded the Jinhua Mountain position, and seeing no response from inside, they sent a squadron to cautiously move towards the Jinhua Mountain position.

The Japanese squadron climbed up to the Jinhua Mountain position, but found that there was not even a single body of a Devil's Army soldier inside, but only the bodies of the Imperial soldiers who had been blown to pieces.

When Colonel Saito heard the report from his subordinates, he secretly admired the foresight of the commander of this devilish army.

At this time, the position at the foot of the east side of Jinhua Mountain had been formed. Colonel Saito arranged a troop to set up roadblocks and patrols on the road to Jinhua Mountain. This made it difficult for the devil troops to sneak up Jinhua Mountain again.

After doing all this, at one o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of Japanese troops began to advance towards Jianchang County under the cover of two tanks.

The two tanks, one on the left side of the path and the other on the right side, kept firing at the woods on both sides of the path as they moved forward.

The second and third regiment commanders of the Fifth Brigade were both in the brigade headquarters, and their troops were lying in ambush in front. When all the devils entered the ambush circle, they immediately surrounded and annihilated the devils.

Who knew that the cautious Colonel Saito would fail the 5th Brigade's plan this time.
