Devil's Army

A regiment commander watched the Japanese transport planes calmly replenishing supplies for the Japanese in Liangjiashan Fortress, but he could do nothing.

After the enemy's transport plane flew back to Fengtian, the commander of a regiment went to the brigade headquarters to plead guilty to the commander of a brigade. His company was completely wiped out because of his wrong judgment.

The brigade commander did not say anything after hearing this. He silently poured a glass of water for the regiment commander and said:

"Some time ago, our battle with the Japanese went too smoothly, and some officers and soldiers became arrogant. They always felt that the Japanese were vulnerable. This failure can let everyone know that the Japanese are still very powerful. It's time to rectify the thinking of grassroots officers and soldiers."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask the instructor to conduct a study session on everyone's thoughts. What do you think of Brigade Commander Liang Jiashan? What should we do next?"

"The Liangjiashan Fortress is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are many hidden bunkers. We should focus on siege. Do not attack again and add unnecessary sacrifices."

"Our anti-aircraft company is guarding Jinzhou's air transport line. Now they are sending transport planes from Fengtian. We can't achieve our goal of encircling them, right?"

"Split the 9th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company into two, one to guard the aircraft transport lines on both sides. They are only transport planes, not bombers. Half an anti-aircraft artillery company is enough to deal with them."

Following the idea of ​​the brigade commander, the regiment commander split the 9th anti-aircraft artillery company into two to block the aircraft routes at both ends of Liangjia Mountain. The rest of the troops continued to surround Liangjia Mountain, waiting for the time when the Japanese really ran out of ammunition and food.

When the First Brigade was confronting the Liangjiashan Fortress, Secretary Li sent a secret telegram to Leng Feng: General Nan Jiro, the new commander of the Kwantung Army, has taken office and is currently in Xinjing. The military affairs of Fengtian are temporarily under the charge of Chief of Staff Jinnan.

"It seems that the Japanese can't outlast us. We have already lost three commanders of the Japanese Kwantung Army." Leng Feng said as he slapped the telegram in front of Gray Wolf.

Gray Wolf took a look at the telegram and continued, "We have exhausted the three commanders of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, Honjo Shigeru, and Ryokari Takashi. The next commander, Minami Jiro, is a political opportunist. He has never been soft-hearted in attacking anti-Japanese armed forces. Should we notify the troops below to be on high alert?"

"We will be fighting him for more than a year. It is time to remind the troops to be vigilant."

"At present, our First Army only has the First Brigade outside Fengtian and Jinzhou. The Third Brigade is fighting the Japanese. Order the Jackal and Li Guozhu to end the battle as soon as possible and enter a state of readiness."

Soon, both Jackal and Li Guozhu received the telegram sent by Leng Feng.

The jackal's first reaction was that the devils were about to launch a major operation against their base, so he immediately ordered the first regiment commander to end the clearing operation as soon as possible.

When the second regiment commander received the telegram, his troops had just split up and were preparing to clear out the Japanese in Shuangyang Town and Xinzhuangzi Town.

The commander of the Second Regiment launched the battle in Shuangyang Town and Xinzhuangzi Town that afternoon.

Since the first company of the first battalion was stationed in Niangniang Palace Town and the second company was stationed in Jianye Town, the battle of Shuangyang Town and Xinzhuangzi Town was handed over to the second and third battalions.

In the afternoon, the Second Battalion took the lead in launching the battle to recapture Shuangyang Town.

Soon, the battle in Xinzhuangzi Town also began.

Although the battles in these two towns were not as smooth as the battle in Niangniang Palace Town, they were much smoother than the battle to recapture Jianye Town.

More than half an hour later, the battles to recapture Shuangyang Town and Xinzhuangzi Town ended one after another, and the soldiers began to enter the clearing operation.

By the evening, no Japanese or puppet troops were found. The troops temporarily stationed in these two towns, preparing to recapture other towns tomorrow.

The next morning, the second battalion left a platoon of soldiers to guard Shuangyang Town, while the other soldiers continued to recapture Daye Town to the north of Shuangyang Town. The soldiers advanced triumphantly all the way and reached the gate of Daye Town without encountering much resistance.

The devils and puppet troops in Daye Town relied on the town wall to block the attack of the devil troops.

The Second Battalion didn't waste any time and fired two 40mm rocket shells to blast away the gate and obstacles at the entrance of the town. Before the soldiers of the Second Battalion could rush into the gate of Daye Town, the Japanese and puppet troops retreated like a tide and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

In one day, the Second Battalion recaptured three towns north of Shuangyang Town.

The third battalion also left a row of soldiers to garrison Xinzhuangzi Town, and the other soldiers set off for Yanjia Town.

When they arrived at the gate of Yanjia Town, the third battalion commander found that the gate of Yanjia Town was closed. The Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall were waiting for them.

There were some civilians outside the city gate shouting, but the Japanese and puppet troops turned a blind eye and did not open the city gate.

Seeing that his troops were ready, the third battalion commander ordered an attack on the city.

After a round of gunfire, a row of Japanese soldiers on the city wall were knocked down.

The remaining Japs hurriedly lay down and fought back.

The common people at the city gate also ran around with their heads in their hands.

Although the third battalion commander didn't know how many Japanese and puppet troops there were in the town, he was still confident that he could take over the town.

The Japanese on the wall of Yanjia Town were quickly suppressed by the fierce fire from the artillery and soldiers of the Third Battalion, and were forced to fight back passively.

Seeing that the enemy's counterattack was weak, the artillery platoon leader of the third battalion simply transferred a cannon to conduct on-site training. Target: the gate of Yanjia Town. Two new recruits assigned by the artillery school began live-fire shooting.

After two rounds of continuous bombardment by four mortars, one side of the city gate was finally blown down.

The soldiers shouted and prepared to rush into Yanjia Town through the collapsed city gate.

But the charging soldiers soon stopped and began to retreat.
