Devil's Army

At this time, the soldiers of the first battalion had already attacked the new bunker above.

The soldiers of the second battalion immediately followed and lit half-dried and half-wet firewood and chili peppers in the bunker that had just been destroyed.

With the cooperation of the Second Battalion, the First Battalion continued to approach the Liangjiashan Fortress, destroying the smoking bunkers and killing the Japanese who climbed out of the bunkers to get some fresh air.

Under the cover of the First Battalion, the Second Battalion continued to set fire to the new bunker to smoke out the Japanese.

The soldiers from the first and second battalions cooperated with each other and attacked the Liangjiashan Fortress.

The Liangjiashan Fortress was not connected to the bunkers in front, but was independent of each other. The poisonous smoke from the Second Battalion could not reach the Liangjiashan Fortress.

At this time, Japanese soldiers occasionally emerged from the bunkers in front of the Liangjiashan Fortress and shot at the soldiers of the First Army.

The commander of the first battalion and the commander of the second battalion had a brief discussion and decided that the commander of the first battalion would be responsible for blocking the Japanese in front of the Liangjiashan Fortress. The commander of the second battalion led the soldiers to clear the Japanese in the bunkers one by one.

The soldiers of the second battalion began to stop lighting fires to release poisonous smoke inside the bunker, but at this time, fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers crawled out of the bunker.

The second battalion commander ordered the soldiers to tear off the Japanese uniforms, spray them with water, cover their mouths and noses, and then start to enter the bunker to clear out the Japanese inside.

Oil lamps were lit on the walls of the bunkers. The passages between the bunkers were not very wide, only enough for a person to pass through with his back half bent.

But the bunker is relatively wide. It can accommodate five or six people standing there. Generally, it has two layers. The upper layer has observation holes and shooting holes, and the lower layer has a ladder connected to the upper layer. This design can avoid the entire bunker being destroyed after the first layer is bombarded by the enemy. The Japanese can hide in the second layer of the bunker to avoid the bombardment.

Japs ran out of the bunker from time to time, but were quickly shot dead by soldiers from the first battalion.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers alive in the bunker. Many of them died in great pain, with their throats scratched by their fingernails.

Many bunkers had separate storages of ammunition and food, and the soldiers of the Second Battalion collected and concentrated all of them as they passed by.

As the soldiers of the Second Battalion emerged from the bunkers one after another, the military operation to clear out the Japanese in the bunkers came to an end.

All the positions in front of the Liangjiashan Fortress have been recaptured by the soldiers of the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Without the harassment from the Japanese bunkers, the 40th rocket and mortar troops began to approach the front of the Liangjiashan Fortress and launched a fierce attack on it.

The Japanese, who had been relying on the strong fortifications and fierce firepower of the Liangjiashan Fortress, were suppressed by the artillery and rocket troops of the First Army and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

After clearing out the Japanese in the bunker, the second battalion of soldiers also joined the attack on the Liangjiashan Fortress.

There were only two squadrons of devil soldiers stationed in the entire Liangjiashan Fortress. Looking at the devil troops charging one after another, Captain Inu knew that his situation was hopeless. However, Liangjiashan was surrounded by the devil troops on all sides, and it was impossible to escape. He could only fight like a trapped beast.

While he was arranging soldiers to block the attack of the devil's troops, he also sent a telegram to the division commander Sakamoto, requesting reinforcements.

When Division Commander Sakamoto received Captain Inu's telegram for help, he did not dare to sit idly by and immediately sent an infantry battalion out of the city to reinforce.

However, soon after this Japanese infantry battalion left the city gate, it encountered strong resistance from the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade.

After fighting for a long time, the Third Regiment did not allow the Japanese infantry battalion to advance even a single step.

The Japanese in the Liangjiashan Fortress still had sufficient ammunition and had been stubbornly resisting the attacks of the first and second battalions, waiting for reinforcements from the Jinzhou Japanese.

Especially the two heavy machine guns on the left and right sides of Liangjia Mountain. Its location is very tricky, and there are large rocks covering it. The mortars exploded on it, only blowing out some rubble.

The charge of the first and second battalions was suppressed by these two crossed heavy machine gun fire points.

The first battalion was responsible for the heavy machine gun position on the left, and the second battalion was responsible for the heavy machine gun position on the right. They each sent a demolition expert to climb up and blow up the two machine gun positions.

The two machine gun positions had a good view of the battlefield. Both demolitionists were knocked down by the enemy's heavy machine guns.

The fearless soldiers of the first and second battalions continued to rush forward to blow up the enemy's machine gun position, but the commanders of the first and second battalions refused.

In such an open area, charging up the mountain under the bullets of heavy machine guns was tantamount to suicide.

A cold wind blew and the second battalion commander couldn't help but sneeze.

The second battalion commander suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, then let go. The soil floated slowly up the mountain with the wind.

"Got it!" the second battalion commander slapped his thigh and shouted.

The second battalion commander ordered the soldiers to burn dry wood in the windward direction, and occasionally poured water on the wood. Another soldier nearby threw chili peppers into the fire from time to time.

The semi-dry and wet firewood produced thick black smoke, mixed with the pungent smell of chili peppers, which drifted towards the Liangjiashan Fortress on the top of the mountain with the wind.

The Japanese soldiers in the fortress were choked and their tears, saliva and snot were running.

Captain Inu immediately asked for help from Division Commander Sakamoto: they were attacked by the chemical weapons of the devil troops. Liangjiashan Fortress was in danger.

When Division Commander Sakamoto received the telegram from Captain Inu, his brows furrowed. The ordinary troops of the Devil's Army already gave him a headache, and now a chemical unit has appeared. What should he do?
