Devil's Army

What surprised the 89th Division Commander Wang was that the Second Regiment Commander kept looking up at the sky while hiding in the command post.

When the Second Regiment Commander looked up at the sky again, Division Commander Wang could not help but ask him:

"Why do you keep looking at the Japanese planes? Do you want to shoot them down?"

The second regiment commander did not answer, but pointed at the planes getting closer and closer in the distance and shouted happily:

"I'm coming……"

Commander Wang was puzzled. Was there any need to be so excited about a few Japanese planes?

Seeing that Commander Wang did not respond, the Second Regiment Commander immediately added:

"Our plane is coming!"

When Commander Wang heard that it was one of their own planes, he immediately walked out of the command center and looked up at the sky.

I saw the eight pointed-headed planes flying very fast, and in the blink of an eye they were over the Juyongguan position.

The two Huaxia II fighter planes of the First Army quickly caught up with the two Type 95 fighter planes that were escorting the Japanese.

Two Huaxia II fighter planes of the First Army rushed over and fired.

The two Japanese fighter planes swung left and right, trying desperately to get rid of the pursuit of two Hua Xia II fighter planes of the First Army.

The two Hua Xia II fighter planes of the First Army deliberately reduced the throttle, followed the Japanese fighter planes and fired continuously, finally shooting down the two Japanese planes.

The First Army's five H-1 bombers began bombing the Japanese headquarters, artillery positions and charging Japanese infantry.

Upon seeing this, another Type 95 fighter plane of the Japanese escort immediately flew towards the bomber of the First Army that was bombing their headquarters.

The pilot of the bomber that was bombing the Japanese command center was Xia Baijun. As soon as he saw a Japanese Type 95 fighter plane rushing towards him, he immediately stepped on the throttle and fled.

The Japanese fighter plane couldn't catch up with Xia Baijun's bomber and could only look at the back of his plane and sigh.

After shooting down a Japanese bomber, another Hua Xia II fighter of the First Army saw the Japanese fighter that was chasing their bomber, and immediately turned and rushed towards it at full speed.

The Japanese fighter plane was looking for a new bomber target, and suddenly heard the whistling sound of a 30mm machine gun from behind, and immediately stepped on the accelerator to escape. However, with an absolute speed disadvantage, escape has become a luxury.

The three Type 95 fighters of the Japanese escort were shot down one after another by the First Army's Huaxia II. Two bombers were also blown up. The remaining bombers had already fled back.

The air force, which had gained air superiority, dropped all its bombs on the Japanese before flying away.

After the First Army's planes flew away, the Third Battalion of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese army, which had suffered heavy casualties in the bombing, began to lick its wounds and regroup, preparing to take Juyongguan in one fell swoop and make great achievements.

At this time, the Second Regiment's four 150mm howitzers and two small mountain cannons were in place and began to aim at the gathering Japanese troops.

The officers and soldiers of the 89th Division had recovered from the excitement of seeing the Japanese being bombed by their own planes, and were fully prepared for a new round of attacks from the Japanese.

The third battalion of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese army, which had finally assembled, began to attack Juyongguan. At the same time, the heavy artillery of the second regiment also began to bombard them.

One 150mm grenade after another blew the attacking Japanese soldiers away, sending their limbs and arms flying everywhere.

The soldiers of the 89th Army had only been bombarded by the Japanese's large-caliber artillery before, and had never tried to bomb the Japanese. Now they were just watching the show like outsiders.

After the bombing by the 11nd Regiment's heavy artillery, the rd Battalion of the th Division of the Japanese Army was unable to organize a large-scale attack. Commander Kiyoshi Kozuki had to hand over the task of capturing Juyongguan to the rd Battalion of the th Division of the Japanese Army.

When the Third Battalion of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army was preparing to attack, the captain of the Third Battalion of the Eleventh Division of the Japanese Army pleaded with the commander of the Fifth Division with red eyes:

"Division Commander, please let us attack once more. I will not be content until I take Juyong Pass."

"Okay, you attack again, and my artillery and tank units will cooperate with you." The commander of the 5th Division replied after thinking for a while.

The captain of the third division of the Japanese 11th Division gathered the remaining soldiers of the brigade, and shouted with a sanitary napkin tied on his head:

"For our honor, for the Emperor, charge!"

The Japanese soldiers of the Third Battalion of the 11th Division charged towards the Juyongguan position with excitement. Five Japanese tanks rushed in front of them and fired continuously at the Juyongguan position.

The Fifth Division's artillery Type 150 mm howitzers bombarded the Juyongguan position while suppressing the Second Regiment's artillery.

The artillery of the Second Regiment calmly exchanged fire with the Japanese artillery, and both sides suffered casualties. However, the number of artillery of the Second Regiment was far less than that of the Japanese. The artillery of the Second Regiment had to move around to improve the survivability of their artillery.

When the commander of the 89nd Regiment of the th Division saw the Japanese tanks approaching, he began to organize a suicide squad to prepare to blow up the tanks.

The commander of the Second Regiment of the First Army stopped their actions and said:

"Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Leave the enemy's tanks to us. Let them get closer first."

"The Japanese tanks advanced very quickly and reached the position in a blink of an eye." The second commander of the 89th Division said worriedly.

"It's okay, leave it to us. You are responsible for the infantry around the tanks." The commander of the second regiment of the first army responded confidently.

The commander of the Second Regiment of the 89th Army finally chose to believe it, because this local force not only had strong combat effectiveness, but also had fierce firepower.
