Devil's Army

That night, since the battle began, Saito had been pacing in the command center.

Finally, the signalman brought the bad news that all three fortifications had been lost.

Although Colonel Saito had expected this outcome, he was still upset when the signalman delivered the news. He had always laughed at the Kwantung Army being beaten to a pulp by the devil's troops. Unexpectedly, two years later, their North China Front Army also followed in the footsteps of the Kwantung Army.

To be honest, he wanted to retreat, so that he could at least lose with dignity. But he couldn't retreat because he had already put himself on the fire.

Before leaving this time, he promised Major General Hattori that he would occupy Jianchang County and drive away the devil troops. So no matter how much it costs, he will attack the devil troops tomorrow.

At around seven o'clock the next day, there was still no movement from the Saito Corps.

The third commander felt that the atmosphere was not right and ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance. At the same time, he subconsciously looked towards the sky in the direction of Lingyuan.

At around eight o'clock, the two G3M96s that came to help yesterday roared over again.

Having succeeded easily yesterday, the two bombers were very arrogant today. They lowered their altitude and flew towards the fortifications on the small road.

The third regiment commander immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat, so as to avoid the anti-aircraft artillery unit fighting with the planes. If the Japanese planes struggled to the death and bombed his troops, it would be a loss.

Colonel Saito saw through the telescope that the Devil Army was retreating again. He thought to himself, "The biggest threat to them now is the Devil Army's tanks. As long as they can block the Devil Army's tanks outside the fortifications, they can still fight the Devil Army."

Colonel Saito decided to dig a wide and deep anti-tank trench in front of the third line of fortification.

Just when Colonel Saito was still fantasizing about how to arrange the deployment after retaking the fortifications, the anti-aircraft guns of the 5th and 8th Anti-aircraft Gun Companies spoke.

High-explosive bombs kept exploding around the Japanese bombers.

In the first round of attack, the first Japanese bomber was shot up and exploded in mid-air. Beautiful fireworks were scattered around the woods.

The air battle also attracted Colonel Saito's attention and brought his thoughts back.

At this moment he happened to see the spectacular scene of the first bomber exploding in mid-air. Could it be that this time their air force was going to experience the misfortune of bombing the Devil Forces headquarters again?

However, this was not a "maybe" but a "certainty"! After the first Japanese bomber was blown up by the fifth anti-aircraft artillery company, the second bomber was also hit by the eighth anti-aircraft artillery company, and it roared towards the top of the mountain with thick black smoke.

Fortunately, the air raid mission this time was not heavy and the Air Force only sent two bombers, otherwise the losses would have been even greater.

Colonel Saito decided to continue the air strike on the devilish troops in the fortifications, but the prerequisite was that his anti-aircraft artillery company must be destroyed.

Colonel Saito ordered the infantry to search and advance towards the location of the Devil Force's anti-aircraft artillery company, preparing to provide guidance for the artillery.

But soon Colonel Saito's infantry company was strongly blocked by the devil troops.

The anti-aircraft artillery unit is the treasure of an army, and its defense is tighter than fortifications.

The infantry squadron launched several waves of charge but failed to break through the blockade of the devil troops. The squadron leader had to report their position and current situation to Colonel Saito.

Colonel Saito ordered the artillery to carry out a covering bombardment on the area that had just been attacked by the plane.

Soon, dense artillery explosions were heard around the anti-aircraft artillery company, and the situation was dangerous.

This time the Japanese artillery used their 100mm howitzers. The shells were incredibly destructive. One shot destroyed a small forest.

At this time, the artillery of the 150th Brigade also spoke, and their mm howitzers also smashed into the area of ​​the Japanese artillery positions that were calculated and speculated.

At this time, the Japanese artillery also adjusted its attack targets and focused on bombarding the artillery of the devil troops that posed a greater threat to them.

The commander of the Fifth Brigade also transferred Feilong over and followed the track of the Japanese artillery shells to find the Japanese artillery position hidden at the corner at the foot of the mountain.

Feilong continued to transmit the precise coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions back to the artillery position command of the 5th Brigade.

The artillery of the 5th Brigade immediately adjusted its shooting parameters and bombarded the enemy's artillery positions more accurately.

Originally, the artillery of both sides bombarded each other, and both sides suffered casualties. Now, under the precise guidance of Feilong, the First Army bombarded the artillery positions of the Japanese more accurately.

Under Feilong's dimensionality reduction attack, the Japanese artillery quickly lost the ability to fight back.

The enemy's air threat was gone, and the artillery was hit so hard that it had no power to fight back. The third regiment commander immediately ordered his troops to launch a full-scale counterattack.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 5th Brigade followed suit, ready to reinforce the 3rd Regiment at any time.

The two tanks of the First Army, which acted as the vanguard, roared and rushed towards the Japanese defensive positions with the cooperation of the infantry.

One of Colonel Saito's chiefs of staff ordered the soldiers to take Colonel Saito and retreat first, while he and an infantry battalion commander blocked the attack of the Devil's Army. Because he knew that the tanks of the Devil's Army were advancing very fast, and if they were not careful, the command center would be destroyed.

However, what the chief of staff and the captain did not expect was that the two tanks of the Devil's Forces, which had been unstoppable, broke down one after another and stopped in front of their position.
