Devil's Army

Chapter 73: The Mountainside Pass Lost

"Victory! Victory again!" Wenlang's team members looked at the retreating Japanese soldiers and jumped out of the fortifications and cheered. In the past, they were chased all over the mountains by the Japanese soldiers, but now they are once again outside the defense line. The people in the defense zone can live and work in peace.

Wenlang stood out of the trench and shouted happily: "Clean up the battlefield." The team members rushed down the mountain.

The next morning, Major Takahashi held a meeting in the command room to summarize the reasons for the failure. He concluded that the first reason for the failure was the leak of intelligence. Whether it was the entrance of Hejiazhai Village or the Aozuikou of Diaobingshan, the enemy had made careful deployments in advance. This showed that the enemy had obtained the intelligence that they were going to besiege Hejiazhai in advance. The second reason was that the intelligence they obtained was wrong. The enemy was not 300 people. It was far more than 300 people.

"Captain Matsuda, how many enemies do you think are there on Hejiazhai?" asked Major Takahashi.

"About four to five hundred people." Captain Matsuda stood up and responded.

"Hmm?" Major Takahashi stared at Captain Matsuda with dissatisfaction.

"The enemy definitely has more than a thousand people. Including the village's reserve troops, the enemy will not be less than 1,300 people." Nakamura Koji stood up and said knowledgeably.

"Yoshi." Major Takahashi let him sit down with satisfaction.

"Yasui-kun, how many enemies did you encounter over there?"

"We were ambushed by an enemy force that was twice our size. So we suffered heavy casualties," said Captain Yasui.

"Yoshi! There are also more than a thousand enemies. That means there are nearly three thousand enemy troops on both sides of our side."

"Send these two reasons to headquarters and ask for reinforcements. It would be best if we could send a mobile force."

Commander Honjo Shigeru was also shocked when he saw Takahashi Ken's report. A guerrilla force of 30 to 40 people had grown into a force of more than 3,000 people in just a few months. Given time, wouldn't it soon become a powerful force for him? So he quickly sent an infantry squadron and a mobile squadron, a total of more than 300 people, to rush to Takahashi Ken's aid.

Takahashi Ken was very happy after receiving the telegram. In order to prevent the information from being leaked, he ordered the mobile squadron and the infantry squadron to arrive on the day of the encirclement and annihilation of the Hejiazhai devil troops. He did not even tell the captain of the Imperial Army, Lin Junjie, about this order. He did not trust the Chinese. At the same time, he only left a small team of Japanese troops and a squadron of the Imperial Army to guard Tiaobinshan County, and the rest were transferred to Tieling County to wait for orders. This time he wanted to concentrate his forces to break through the mountainside pass defense line in one fell swoop and directly attack the headquarters of Hejiazhai Village.

Three days later, Takahashi Ken was informed that the reinforcements had already replenished fuel and food in Faku County and would arrive in Tieling County at 4 a.m. So Takahashi Ken set the attack time at 4:30 a.m.

At four o'clock in the morning, except for a small group of imperial and imperial army troops who stayed behind, everyone else in Tieling County quietly gathered and marched out of the city. When they arrived at the outskirts of Tieling County, a mobile squadron and an infantry squadron of the imperial army were already waiting there. The mobile squadron had two tanks, two armored vehicles and two trucks. The infantry squadron had three trucks.

Everyone rested until 4:30, and at the order of Major Takahashi, they rushed towards Hejiazhao Village together.

The Fourth Battalion defending the grove outside the county town was the first to discover the enemy and quickly counterattacked.

Most of the team members saw a tank for the first time. They pointed at the tank in horror and asked Wang Zhuangfei:

"Captain, there are several moving iron boxes there."

Wang Zhuangfei was also shocked and shouted, "Turtle bastards!" He didn't expect that the Japanese would actually send out turtle bastards in such a small mountain village. Since his defense line was more than ten kilometers away from the mountainside pass defense line of the First Battalion, the First Battalion must not know the enemy situation yet. He immediately ordered the signalman Xiao Wang to drive the Samurai back to report.

Although the Fourth Battalion bravely and tenaciously blocked the Japanese attack, the Japanese mechanized troops advanced quickly. Soon his defense line was broken by the devils. Wang Zhuangfei had no choice but to lead the remaining team members to retreat to the grove. The devils did not entangle with the Fourth Battalion, and kept rushing forward with a clear goal.

As soon as the communications soldier Xiao Wang started his Samurai, he was discovered by the Japanese bastards. A burst of machine gun fire was heard, and Xiao Wang and his vehicle crashed into a tree in the nearby grove.

At around five in the morning, the first brigade at the mountain pass discovered the Japanese. Since Huilang was working with Leng Feng at the Hejiazhai headquarters, Diaolang immediately organized an attack. The infrared detectors at the pass also reported the incident to the Hejiazhai headquarters.

Diao Lang called Leng Feng to report that he had discovered two Japanese tanks and two armored vehicles.

Leng Feng was also shocked when he heard the report. He didn't expect that the Japanese would use two armored vehicles and two tanks in his remote mountain village. Moreover, he currently had no anti-tank missiles and was helpless against the tanks. The tanks were very fast and could reach Hejiazhao Village in half an hour after breaking through the mountain pass.

"Send the golden eagle." Leng Feng looked as if he was trying everything possible.

"Captain, the Golden Eagle is equipped with air-to-air missiles. It mainly relies on the fragments of the explosion to kill and destroy aerial targets. It is not very aggressive against moving targets on the ground. Moreover, the amount of explosives is small." Gray Wolf responded.

"It's okay. The Japanese tanks have very thin iron plates. They should be useful. Turn on the artificial infrared guidance and positioning device immediately. I'll turn on the Golden Eagle receiver."

"Yes." Gray Wolf immediately put on the infrared guidance locator and drove the Samurai towards the pass on the mountainside.

"Diaolang, take your men and try to stop the Japanese. I'm already trying to find a way to destroy the enemy's tanks." Leng Feng shouted into the phone.

"I tried my best, but the enemy's tanks were advancing very quickly and they didn't bother with us at all." Diaolang shouted.

Diaolang sent out several teams of death squads, hoping to blow up the enemy tanks, but they were all killed by the enemy infantry around the tanks on their way forward.

Finally, a Japanese tank broke through the pass on the mountainside and rushed towards the headquarters of Hejiazhao Village with the infantry.

Major Takahashi smiled happily. He could already see victory waving at him.

Gray Wolf parked the car in a secluded place and used an infrared guidance locator to locate the top of the tower of the Japanese's first tank.

At this time, a gust of wind came from far away, and Major Takahashi saw something like an airplane flying towards them. Suddenly, a burst of fire lit up from the belly of the thing, and a thing like a cannonball flew towards his first tank that had broken through the mountainside pass.

He felt something was wrong. At this moment, the top of his first tank exploded, and the shell inside also caused a secondary explosion. The entire tank was like a dazzling firework, throwing iron fragments around. The Japanese infantry around him fell to the ground one after another as the tank threw fireworks.

What’s even more terrible is that the second tank that passed the mountainside pass also performed a fireworks display.

The narrow path was completely blocked by two tanks, and two armored vehicles could not pass. Wu Lang took the opportunity to order his team members to throw grenades at the Japanese soldiers on the hillside. The grenade rain left the Japanese soldiers on the hillside with nowhere to hide.

Helplessly, Major Takahashi had to order a retreat, and the crisis was finally averted.
