Devil's Army

Although Division Commander Sakamoto was helpless against the Devil's Army, he dared not give up easily because of the important position of the Liangjiashan Fortress.

There was nothing we could do on land, so we had to think of a solution from the air.

Division Commander Sakamoto sent two bombers to support Liangjiashan Fortress. Before leaving, Division Commander Sakamoto quietly told the two pilots: Fly higher, and immediately increase the flight altitude if there is any situation, to avoid the attack of the anti-aircraft artillery unit of the Devil Force.

The Japanese Air Force received an order from Division Commander Sakamoto and sent two bombers to fly quietly to the Liangjiashan Fortress.

The soldiers from the first and second battalions looked at the Liangjiashan Fortress where the sound of gunfire had become much less frequent, covered their mouths and noses with the wet coats of the Japanese soldiers, and slowly approached the fortress while lying on the ground.

The soldiers were still more than fifty meters away from the fortress, and the soldiers of the second battalion stopped burning firewood. The thick poisonous smoke gradually became smaller.

At this time, the Japanese bullets in the fortress were firing indiscriminately without any target.

The soldiers continued to crawl forward, and the moment the thick smoke completely dissipated, they suddenly threw grenades into the fortress.

A string of grenade explosions accompanied by the shouts of soldiers from the first and second battalions rushed up to the fortress.

Captain Inu was killed by a grenade at some point in time, and his mutilated limbs lay quietly in the fortress.

The First Army finally succeeded in occupying the Liangjiashan Fortress. Before the soldiers of the First Army could celebrate, the roar of two G3 M9 6 bombers came from the direction of Jinzhou.

Soldiers from the First Battalion and the Second Party jumped into the Liangjiashan Fortress to avoid the bombing of the bombers.

The remaining soldiers of the 9th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company, who had been prepared, fired fiercely at the Japanese bombers.

The continuous explosion of artillery shells frightened the Japanese pilots. After dropping aerial bombs on the ground, two Japanese bombers quickly increased their flight altitude, then turned around and flew back to Jinzhou to report.

A series of explosions from aerial bombs scared all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest out.

Soldiers from the first and second battalions continued to clean up the battlefield and clear the bodies of the Japanese in the fortresses and bunkers.

Soon, a regiment commander also came to the Liangjiashan Fortress that made him sad.

The commander of a regiment saw that the three small steel cannons behind the fortress were still intact. The range of the steel cannons covered the path at the foot of the mountain. Even if the Japanese in Jinzhou broke through the defense line of the First Army at the city gate, it would be very difficult to break through the blockade of the Liangjia Fortress and join the Japanese in Fengtian.

The current strength of the First Battalion was at best a company, which was obviously not suitable for defending the Liangjiashan Fortress. The First Regiment Commander gave the important task of defending the Liangjiashan Fortress to the Second Battalion.

The brigade commander received the telegram from the regiment commander and was relieved. Jinzhou was now completely surrounded by the First Army, and he could only obtain supplies by sea or airdrop. When the time was right, he would recapture Jinzhou.

In this way, the anti-Japanese army will have two seaports, and the Japanese will not have to keep their eyes on Huludao every day.

Division Commander Sakamoto sent a telegram to Captain Inu, but there was no reply. He knew the outcome without asking. He was surprisingly calm and did not send another telegram to Commander Minamijiro for help. He could already imagine the future of Jinzhou.

Leng Feng did not order the first brigade to recapture Jinzhou in one go. Firstly, the strength of the Japanese troops in Jinzhou should not be underestimated. Secondly, the purpose of this battle was to contain the Japanese army in Jinzhou and Fengtian, so that they could not cooperate with the navy to launch an attack on Huludao.

Now that his goal had been achieved, he no longer continued to provoke the newly appointed Kwantung Army Commander Minami Jiro.

A battalion commander and his soldiers prepared to return to the camp after searching the Liangjiashan Fortress.

He originally wanted to garrison at the Liangjiashan Fortress. If the Japanese dared to come, he could avenge his brothers who died in front of Liangjiashan.

But the commander of the first regiment assigned this task to the second battalion, and he had nothing to say. Who told him that he only had one company of troops now?

Suddenly, a battalion commander heard a strange noise in the jungle. He immediately clenched his fist to stop the troops and carefully observed the left front.

But these sounds disappeared, and the other party might have discovered them.

The first battalion commander made left and right gestures to the second and third platoon leaders.

The second and third platoon leaders nodded and led their troops to encircle the two wings.

A battalion commander led a row of soldiers and slowly moved forward.

"Get down!" A battalion commander suddenly shouted when he saw a bunch of gun barrels sticking out of the woods ahead.

Just as the battalion commander and his men lay down, a burst of gunfire was heard from the front.

The soldiers in the first row raised their guns and prepared to fight back, but were stopped by the battalion commander:

"Don't shoot! No one is allowed to shoot!"

The soldiers looked at the battalion commander in surprise.

The battalion commander did not explain anything to the soldiers, but began to shout into the grove:

"We are from the First Anti-Japanese Army. Which unit are you from?"

He was very familiar with the sound of gunfire that had just been fired at the battalion commander and his men.

He had served in the Northeast Army before, and he knew that it was not the Type 38 rifle of the Japanese, but the Type 18 Liao rifle of their former Northeast Army.

After the battalion commander shouted this, the enemy stopped shooting, but they still hid in the woods.

It seemed that the other party was still on guard, and the battalion commander shouted at them again.

The other party replied: "We are from the Niangniang Palace Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army. Are you also fighting against the Japanese?"

"We are what the Japanese call the devil's army. Do you think we should fight the Japanese?" The battalion commander responded with a smile.

When the other side heard what the battalion commander said, they all came out of the woods.
