Devil's Army

Can this small group of devils withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese Army? I believe everyone knows that it is impossible, because they lack ammunition and heavy weapons support.

The positions of this small group of Japanese soldiers, wherever the gunfire was a little more intense, immediately attracted bombardment from the army's mortars or 40 rocket launchers.

The different attack and defense positions made it impossible for this small group of Japanese soldiers to adapt.

In the end, all the devils in this small group returned to the Yasukuni Shrine.

But this group of cannon fodder also completed their mission and bought time for the Japanese commander to escape.

The Japanese commander disappeared into the night with the few remaining soldiers.

The 40-odd reinforcements began to clean up the battlefield. The 38 surrendered puppet soldiers were also taken to the room in the Japanese camp where the boatmen were originally held.

A platoon leader led the remaining soldiers to meet up with the soldiers from the first battalion who continued to cross the river, preparing to recapture the position east of Xiaoling River.

The Japanese lieutenant in charge of guarding the position east of Xiaoling River had a premonition that things were not going well. The gunfire in Jianye Town, which had been constantly roaring, had gradually stopped. However, the ammunition supply he requested had not been delivered.

Four of the rescued boatmen volunteered to replace the two young boatmen from the village. Even the youngest ones couldn't stand rowing like this all night.

There are too few boats and they can only carry 25 people to the east bank of Xiaoling River at a time.

After the small fishing boat transported all the soldiers of the first company to the east bank of Xiaoling River, it continued to transport the soldiers of the third company of the first battalion.

A company of soldiers arrived at the east bank of Xiaoling River and began to act under the leadership of a platoon leader, preparing to destroy the Japanese positions and fortifications on the east bank of Xiaoling River.

The company commander quietly surrounded all the Japanese fortifications on the east side of Xiaoling River and called on the battalion artillery on the west bank of Xiaoling River to bomb the Japanese fortifications.

In an instant, the enemy's fortifications were hit by shells one after another. Explosions continued and flames shot up into the sky.

The Japs all hid in their fortifications, dared not move, and did not fire back because they had run out of ammunition.

As soon as the first battalion's artillery fire stopped, the first company immediately launched a charge on the Japanese fortifications.

In an instant, the shouts of the First Army soldiers, the sound of gunfire, and the explosions of grenades came from all around the Japanese fortifications.

The Japanese lieutenant was also puzzled. He had kept his eyes wide open all night, staring at the west side of Xiaoling River. He did not find a single soldier from the Devil's Army crossing the river. And where did the more than 100 soldiers from the Devil's Army who were attacking him cross the river?

But before he could think any more, the sound of gunfire from the soldiers of the First Army was right before his eyes.

The lieutenant had to leave a small number of troops to continue defending the west side of Xiaoling River. The other troops were distributed to various places to resist the attack of the devil troops.

Although the number of troops in the lieutenant's fortifications was not as large as that of the first company, he took advantage of the fortifications and withstood the continuous attack of the first company.

The boatmen heard intense gunfire on the east side of Xiaoling River and continued to work hard to transport the soldiers of the third company to the east bank of Xiaoling River.

The soldiers of the third company who had just got off the boat immediately rushed towards the Japanese positions on the east bank.

As soldiers from the third company joined the battle, the lieutenant's situation in the fortifications became increasingly dangerous.

The lieutenant sent three telegrams to his commander, requesting reinforcements and weapons and ammunition, but all fell on deaf ears and received no response.

Gradually, the lieutenant understood: they were abandoned. But even if they were abandoned, they would not have abandoned their position and fled without receiving orders from their superior commander.

However, the soldiers of the First Army did not rush to charge, but surrounded the lieutenant's position.

As the day gradually brightened, the Japanese lieutenant in the fortifications became more and more irritable, because with the arrival of daylight, it would be more difficult for them to escape the encirclement of the devil's troops.

The soldiers of the First Army began to attack the position east of Xiaoling River. This attack was not divided into a main attack and a secondary attack, but an all-out attack.

The lieutenant's position was surrounded by fierce gunfire. He was exhausted and fought back with limited ammunition.

But the devil's troops did not save ammunition. If the resistance on the lieutenant's position was a little stronger, a mortar shell or 40 rocket would attack.

Gradually, the sound of gunfire became less frequent. The first and third companies attacked the lieutenant's fortifications and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the remaining Japanese soldiers.

The effect of the strict and scientific training of the First Army soldiers was now reflected. They could basically fight the devils in a one-on-one fight.

In order to eliminate the Japanese troops in the positions north of Xiaoling River, the first and second companies began to clean up the battlefield.

Soldiers from the Third Company and the Second Battalion crossed the river one after another and began to take over the cleanup work in Jianye Town.

The sound of gunfire in Jianye Town all night frightened the residents. At dawn, the sound of gunfire stopped. The residents of Jianye Town began to open their doors a little to observe the army they had never seen before.

In the battle to recapture Jianye Town, the first platoon of the first company suffered the most casualties, with casualties of the entire platoon reaching 55%. The third squad leader also died.

In view of the veteran's outstanding performance on the building opposite the ammunition depot, the platoon leader asked his superiors for approval and promoted the veteran to be the squad leader of the third squad.

The veteran made a request in response, asking all five soldiers who were fighting with him upstairs to follow him.

The five soldiers that the veteran brought back from the gate of Jianye County originally belonged to the second squad. The squad leader of the second squad strongly opposed this. The soldiers in their squad suffered heavy casualties this time, and now four of them were going to be taken away.

The platoon leader kicked him away and scolded him, "They cooperated well with the veterans, so we were assigned together. What are you complaining about? I will provide you with new soldiers after the war.

The second squad leader shut up helplessly and stared at the old soldier with a face full of resentment.
