Devil's Army

The soldiers of the 29th Army and the nd Brigade of the st Anti-Japanese Army witnessed the air battle between the st Anti-Japanese Army and the Japanese Air Force and were very excited.

Deputy Army Commander Tong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. Our Chinese Air Force can finally breathe a sigh of relief and suppress the Japanese.

Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, the father of Japanese aviation, was also incredulous after hearing this. In East Asia, their Great Japanese Air Force was a crushing presence, so how could a powerful air force suddenly emerge in China? Moreover, according to the description of the pilots who escaped back, the speed of these Chinese planes reached an astonishing speed of more than 1000 km/hour, and it was possible that it was even faster.

Lieutenant General Tokugawa handed over command to Hirotaro Watanabe, who decided to return to Japan to develop a faster fighter.

After the air force of the First Anti-Japanese Army flew away, Kiyoshi Kozuki's garrison army's first mixed brigade began to clean up the mess.

The Type 150 mm howitzer, which they revered as the "magic gun", was blown to pieces, with its wheels, gun carriage, and gun barrel scattered everywhere. The artillerymen's limbs and arms were hanging or falling everywhere.

The remaining artillery began to clean up the battlefield. They rescued ten Type 150 mm howitzers from the air raid. Commander Kiyoshi Kozuki applied for assistance from the Army Department to continue replenishing artillery.

At this time, Commander Zhao of the 132nd Division received information from two regiments. Due to the betrayal of the traitor Pan Yugui, the Japanese learned of their reinforcement route in advance and set an ambush in Tuanhe. After a fierce battle, his two regiments suffered heavy casualties and the remaining troops had to retreat.

The Japanese, lacking tank and heavy artillery support, launched another attack an hour later, with the main attack direction still targeting the section of the line defended by the student corps.

However, with the addition of the First Battalion of the First Anti-Japanese Army, that section of the defense line has become much more solid.

The Japanese Third Air Squadron flew over to reinforce, and aerial shells exploded in Nanyuan.

The number of casualties among the 29th Army's defenders and the st Battalion began to rise again. However, the buildings in Nanyuan had been blown into rubble by the Japanese, and there was no way to effectively defend against air attacks.

The Japanese Third Air Squadron did not stay in the air. After bombing the Chinese defenders in Nanyuan, it immediately flew away from the battlefield.

At around 4:40 in the afternoon, pointed-nosed fighter jets and bombers appeared in the sky again.

Soldiers from the 29th Army and the First Anti-Japanese Army came out of the makeshift air defense shelters one after another, because those were their planes. They went back to restock their fuel and bombs and then came back to reinforce.

At this time, there were no Japanese planes in the sky. The H-1 bombers of the First Anti-Japanese Army were recklessly dropping bombs on the charging Japanese and where they were gathering.

The Japanese positions were once again filled with blood and flesh flying, and wailing was everywhere.

Since the round trip distance between Beijing and the Oroqen Tribe Airport is nearly 1000 km, and the range of the Huaxia No. 1300 fighter and bomber is less than kilometers, it has a very short time to stay in Beijing.

However, this short period of time in the air has provided great support to the Nanyuan defenders.

After the planes of the First Anti-Japanese Army left, the Japs did not launch a new round of attacks, but instead cleaned up the battlefield and licked blood to heal their wounds.

Only then did the commander of the 132nd Division, Zhao, have time to get to know Wu Lang. Together with Deputy Army Commander Tong, they discussed the next war trend in Nanyuan at the headquarters.

Everyone was worried about the future of Nanyuan, and they all thought that Nanyuan would definitely not be able to be defended. The only way out for the Nanyuan defenders was to retreat. Deputy Commander Tong held Wu Lang's hand and said to him earnestly:

"In this battle, the student corps suffered the greatest losses. I see that your troops are the most powerful among the troops in Nanyuan. Can you find a way to lead these students out of the encirclement tomorrow?"

Wu Lang firmly disagreed. Historically, Deputy Army Commander Tong and Division Commander Zhao of the 132nd Division died in the Nanyuan battle. Since he had traveled through time, he had to save these two anti-Japanese heroes. So he insisted on covering Deputy Army Commander Tong and his men's breakout.

Everyone insisted. Finally, Wu Lang made concessions and asked his first battalion and first company to cover the retreat of Deputy Commander Tong's main force. He led the other two companies and the first battalion's direct platoon and the student corps to withdraw from Fengtai to Beiping.

Deputy Commander Tong asked Wu Lang a little worriedly:

"Is this all you have?"

"Our company can take on a squadron of the Japanese. No problem." Wu Lang replied with a smile.

The next morning, Commander Kiyoshi Kozuki added small mountain artillery to the troops attacking Nanyuan and began to bombard the Nanyuan defenders. The main attack direction was still the section of the defense line where the student corps was stationed.

Wu Lang only left two soldiers in the fortifications to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese, while the other soldiers hid behind from the artillery fire.

Many student soldiers in the student corps were inspired by the fearless spirit of sacrifice of their comrades yesterday, and they all requested to go to the fortifications to prepare to kill the enemy.

Wu Lang frowned and scolded: "Charging forward under such fierce fire from the Japs? That's not bravery, that's stupidity!"

As soon as the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped, the infantry rushed over.

Wu Lang ordered the soldiers of the second company to quickly enter the position. The student soldiers shouted from behind that they also wanted to go to the position, but Wu Lang turned a deaf ear to them.

The Japanese rushed closer and closer, but Wu Lang did not fight back.

The Japanese rushed faster and faster. When they were more than a hundred meters away from the Nanyuan fortifications, the light and heavy machine guns of the Second Company opened fire at the same time, and grenades flew into the group of Japanese.

At the same time, the third company jumped out of the fortifications, followed closely by the student corps, and the battalion's direct platoon followed behind, launching a fierce counterattack against the Japanese.
