Devil's Army

The first and second regiments of the Wulang Army replenished their ammunition and medicines and prepared to march to the Nankou area.

Brigade Commander Du said to Wulang:

"Commander-in-chief, please bring one regiment from our 11th Brigade with you. Your brigade currently does not have enough troops."

"If I take your regiment away, there will only be more than one regiment left in the Tangxia Village logistics base, with more than 3000 soldiers. Can you defend it?" Wu Lang asked worriedly.

After the battles of Lugou Bridge, Wanping City, and Peking, his Second Brigade suffered heavy casualties.

"General Leng said that he will continue to transport the rest of my troops here, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the next few days. Besides, the enemy's troops in Tangshan are not too many at the moment, so we can handle it."

Wulang thought about it and agreed.

What Wulang's Second Brigade lacks most now is 150mm grenades and 40 rockets. However, it is indeed a bit difficult for the troops to march long distances with these ammunitions.

Wu Langzheng dispatched the air force that was operating with the 11th Brigade and dispatched the five Golden Eagle IIs to transport ammunition. The troops advanced lightly.

At this time, the Japanese invaders were advancing along the Pingsui Railway and had already threatened China's hinterland.

The bald leader ordered Tang Enbo to be the commander-in-chief of the front line, and the 13th Army led by him was deployed along the Great Wall. Among them, Nankou and Juyongguan were important passes to block the Japanese army.

Tang Enbo's 13th Army had completed its deployment, and the Japanese's 11th Independent Mixed Brigade also arrived near Nankou. The two sides then engaged in a fierce battle near Longhutai.

The Japanese 11th Brigade captured Longhutai and began to launch a fierce attack on the th Army defenders in Nankou.

The Japanese attacked the Nankou position twice, but were beaten back each time by the tenacious 13th Army.

The Japanese planes and heavy artillery began to bombard the 13th Army in the Nankou position. The 13th Army suffered heavy casualties and the Nankou position was in danger.

After the Japanese planes and heavy artillery once again launched a fierce bombardment on the Nankou position, they sent out three powerful infantry squadrons to launch an attack on the Nankou position from three sides.

At this time, the defenders of the Nankou position were less than a battalion, and the battles of the three armies in Juyongguan and other places were also going on fiercely, so no reinforcements could be sent.

A dark-faced commander of the Thirteenth Army spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, laughed miserably and said to the soldiers: "Brothers, Nankou is where we will die, and we will take a devil with us even if we die.

After saying that, the black-faced commander led his soldiers to use mild gunfire to block the Japanese troops who were rushing towards the Nankou position.

These devils seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and they ignored the fallen devils in front of them and continued to charge forward. The number of soldiers of the 13th Army in the Nankou position was decreasing.

At this time, the fierce roar of 150mm howitzers was heard behind the Nankou position.

The 150mm grenade landed accurately among the charging Japanese soldiers, blasting them into various places.

The commander of the 150th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese who was supervising the battle in the back looked at the Japanese troops who were being bombarded by mm howitzers in confusion and asked the chief of staff next to him:

"When did the 150th Army of China get equipped with mm caliber howitzers?"

The chief of staff also shook his head at the brigade commander in confusion. According to their intelligence, the Chinese 13th Army did not have any 1mm large-caliber howitzers.

However, what surprised him was yet to come. A powerful force using Japanese weapons rushed into the Nankou position and blocked their 11th Brigade together with the th Army.

The black-faced captain was of course very happy to see the sudden arrival of reinforcements, but he was also surprised by their costumes.

A tall and thin officer among the reinforcements shook hands with the dark-faced commander and said:

"Hello, I am Huang Honglei, the commander of the 150st Regiment of the nd Brigade of the st Northeast Anti-Japanese Army. Because of the delay in going to Jinghai to transfer these three mm howitzers, the Nankou position was almost lost."

"Not too late, not too late, just right. It's really cool to see your cannons bombing the Japs. But you have to pay attention to air defense. The Japs' planes are very powerful and they lay eggs very accurately." The black-faced commander said, grinning and revealing his yellow teeth.

"Look, the artillery fire has stopped, hasn't it? Our artillery has already moved its position. If the Japanese planes dare to come, let them run rampant for a while. When our planes come, they will have to keep their tails between their legs."

"Oh my goodness, you still have planes?" Before the black-faced commander could finish his words, the Japanese planes flew over and began to drop bombs on the Nankou position.

"Hide, hide, pay attention to air defense." The regiment commander shouted desperately. However, in the Nankou position, which lacked anti-aircraft weapons, the casualties of the regiment's soldiers continued to rise.

At this time, Wu Lang was watching the Nankou position from his command post less than two miles behind the Nankou position. His Second Regiment had already gone to Juyongguan to reinforce another unit of the Thirteenth Army.

As soon as Wu Lang arrived at the command center and saw how rampant the Japanese planes were, he immediately called for reinforcements from the First Army's Air Force.

The infantry of the three squadrons of the 150th Brigade of the Japanese army, which were charging just now, were defeated by the mm howitzers of the st regiment and fled back.

Now their artillery god, the Type 150 mm howitzer and aircraft are taking revenge for them, frantically bombing the Chinese defenders in the Nankou position.
