Devil's Army

The commander of the Fifth Brigade was also very worried when he saw the two tanks that were advancing suddenly stopped. Because with their current industrial base, they could not produce tanks themselves, and every tank destroyed was one less.

The Fifth Brigade Commander immediately asked someone to inquire about the situation.

The tank soldiers quickly reported the situation, but the problem with the tank was ridiculous - the tank had run out of fuel after continuous fighting.

The commander of the 5th Brigade immediately ordered the other three tanks that were waiting to be dispatched.

Upon receiving the order, the three tanks on standby roared towards the Japanese position.

When they rushed to the front of the enemy's position, the three tanks that came later were dumbfounded. The path could only accommodate one tank, and now the two tanks that had broken down blocked the path, so they had no way to pass.

There was no other way, so a driver and crew member of the first tank had to risk climbing off the tank and use the oil pipe and helmet to pump oil into the fuel tanks of the two disabled tanks.

The two tanks were finally started again after being operated by the drivers, and then they moved aside to clear the road.

Three tanks roared one after another through the path and rushed towards the Japanese position.

The Japanese soldiers in charge of blocking the enemy immediately threw grenades at the tanks of the First Army, which raised clouds of dust around the tanks.

The Japanese threw two grenades onto the tank, which rolled off the tank and exploded in front of it.

The dust blocked the tank's observation hole. The tank stopped and the machine gun fired at the Japanese who threw the grenade.

Two Japanese soldiers who were about to throw grenades were riddled with bullets and fell helplessly on the battlefield.

The grenades that slipped from the hands of the two Japanese soldiers blew up the Japanese soldiers next to them who were concentrating on blocking the first army.

The Japanese defense line began to loosen under the attack of the tanks, and the soldiers of the Third Regiment seized the opportunity and followed the tanks forward.

The Japs began to retreat, and then began to flee in all directions.

The commander of the Fifth Brigade, who had been watching the progress of the battle at the Third Regiment, looked at the Japanese soldiers fleeing towards Jinhua Mountain and came up with a plan. He immediately ordered all officers and soldiers in the brigade who knew a little Japanese to gather at the Third Regiment.

After a while, sixty-three officers and soldiers of the Fifth Brigade who knew a little Japanese gathered at the entrance of the Third Regiment.

The fifth brigade commander took a look at the 63 officers and soldiers and found that most of them were grassroots officers and soldiers of the army, and one of them was even the head of a regiment. They had attended Wenlang's Japanese crash course in the tribe before.

The commander of the Fifth Brigade was a little hesitant. If this operation failed, the casualties among the grassroots officers and soldiers of their brigade would be too great.

When the commander of the first regiment saw that the commander of the fifth brigade had gathered them and was silent, he hurriedly asked, "Brigade commander, what is the mission?"

"I want you to pretend to be defeated Japanese soldiers and escape to the Jinhua Mountain position. Then, when the opportunity arises, you can join forces with our troops and capture the Jinhua Mountain position."

"Okay, let's get ready right away."

"But most of you are grassroots commanders of the army, and this mission is somewhat dangerous. I am afraid..."

The Fifth Brigade Commander stopped talking, and the First Regiment Commander only then realized what the Fifth Brigade Commander was worried about. He told the Fifth Brigade Commander:

"Commander, we are here to infiltrate, not to attack the camp. It's not as dangerous as you think."

"Okay, find a lieutenant's uniform on the battlefield and put it on. You will be in charge of this operation. Be sure to pay attention to safety."

The commander of the first regiment nodded to the commander of the fifth brigade. The commander of the fifth brigade said to the other officers and soldiers: "You all go find a set of Japanese military uniforms to change into, and then gather here."

Everyone responded "yes" and went to look for Japanese military uniforms that fit them.

The Fifth Brigade Commander called the First Regiment Commander and two battalion commanders and told them: "When the time is right, First Regiment Commander, you will find someone to send a signal down the mountain, and the soldiers lurking near the Jinhua Mountain position will cooperate with you to attack the Jinhua Mountain position. You will discuss and decide on the method and content of the signal with the Third Regiment Commander."

Everyone changed their clothes, and the regiment commander led everyone to flee towards the Jinhua Mountain position.

The regiment commander and his men arrived at the Jinhua Mountain position, where they were stopped by a sentry.

A regiment commander told the sentry: "Our troops have been dispersed. We don't know where our leaders are now. We just ran up the mountain and don't know how we ran here."

"It seems that our regiment has been defeated. There have been defeated soldiers fleeing to our side today." A sergeant said to the captain in the fortification.

"There are only sixty-three people left in our squadron. We will rest here for a while before going down the mountain to find our commander." The regiment commander in lieutenant's uniform responded.

"Why do you look so unfamiliar to me, as if we have never met before?"

"We were a temporary reinforcement when we retreated to the east of Jinhua Mountain."

The Japanese captain knew about the defeat and retreat to the foot of the eastern side of Jinhua Mountain, but he didn't know whether there were reinforcements from nearby. He said to the commander of a regiment:

"Since we can't find your leader right now, why don't you join us in defending the Jinhua Mountain position and then go down the mountain to find your leader after we defeat the Devil's Army."

"What about food?"

"Don't worry, our commander has already made preparations for the long-term defense of the Jinhua Mountain position and has prepared a lot of food and ammunition for us."

"That's a pity to trouble you, Captain." The regiment commander bowed to the Japanese captain and said.

So the sixty-three men led by the regiment commander successfully infiltrated the Jinhua Mountain position.
