Devil's Army

As the enemy tanks approached, the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the 89th Army followed the orders of the regiment commander and concentrated on sniping the infantry around the enemy tanks, but they were still worried, fearing that they would be crushed into bloody mud by the incoming tanks.

When the captain of the Japanese Third Battalion saw that the tanks were about to rush up to the Juyongguan position, he excitedly waved his command knife and shouted.

The second regiment commander took a Type 38 rifle from the soldier next to him and aimed at the captain of the Japanese third battalion.

A crisp gunshot sounded from the dense gunfire. The head of the captain of the third Japanese brigade was shattered. The command knife in his right hand fell to the ground, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

As the Japanese tanks entered the range of 40 rockets one after another, the second regiment commander gave an order and the rocket soldiers who had been prepared opened fire one after another.

Five of the Japanese tanks were hit and exploded one after another, and the infantry nearby were also affected.

When the soldiers of the 89th Army saw that all the Japanese tanks were destroyed in an instant, their confidence increased and they fired fiercely at the Japanese infantry around the tanks.

The revenge battle of the 11rd Battalion of the th Brigade of the Japanese finally ended in failure.

The commander of the Fifth Division of the Japanese army witnessed the failure of the Third Battalion of the 11th Brigade and changed his offensive strategy. He ordered his soldiers to carry pickaxes and shovels and dig trenches with the support of artillery to approach Juyongguan.

When the Japanese planes heard that the Chinese troops' planes had returned, they also came to help. For a time, Juyongguan was bombed into flying debris and collapsed fortifications.

The most important thing is that all the 150mm howitzers of the Second Regiment were destroyed in the Japanese air raid, which made the subsequent defense of Juyongguan even more difficult.

At this time, a strong wind blew. The commander of the Japanese Fifth Division looked at the infantry who were struggling to approach Juyongguan, suddenly grabbed a handful of soil, and then let go.

He smiled as he looked at the dust drifting toward Juyong Pass, and called the second squadron leader, Captain Hamada, and whispered something to him. Captain Hamada took the order and went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the Japanese fired several shells at the southeastern heights of Juyongguan. The shells did not explode after landing, but emitted wisps of yellow-green smoke. The smoke drifted towards the southeastern heights of Juyongguan with the wind.

Soon, a company of the 89th Army stationed on the southeast heights of Juyongguan began to show symptoms of discomfort, followed by difficulty breathing...

After a while, a team of Japanese infantry wearing protective clothing began to charge towards the southeast heights of Juyongguan.

This group of Japanese soldiers encountered almost no resistance and successfully occupied the southeastern heights of Juyongguan. The Chinese company stationed on the southeastern heights of Juyongguan was completely killed.

It was the Second Squadron of the Third Squadron of the Japanese Army that occupied the southeastern heights of Juyongguan. Lieutenant Hamada, the squadron leader, became the first Japanese commander to occupy Juyongguan.

He took off his chemical protective suit and excitedly waved his command knife down the mountain.

A sniper from the 89th Division aimed at the arrogant Japanese squadron leader and shot him down with one shot.

The Japanese troops successively rushed to the southeast heights of Juyongguan and launched a fierce attack on other positions in Juyongguan in an attempt to expand the results of victory.

The second company of the 89th Army defended the southeastern heights of Juyongguan and the junction with other positions. They fought to the death and isolated the Japanese on the southeastern heights of Juyongguan.

The battle lasted until the afternoon. The third company replaced the second company's defense, but the Japanese still could not advance beyond the Juyongguan position.

The Second Regiment Commander learned that the Japanese had occupied the southeast heights of Juyongguan by despicable means and decided to take it back.

When night fell, the commander of the first battalion of the second regiment led the first and second companies to the southeast heights of Juyongguan.

A battalion commander led two companies of soldiers to infiltrate the southeastern heights of Juyongguan and alerted the Japanese sentries. A battle broke out between the two sides.

Wu Lang had often led the Second Brigade to attack the Japanese before, so the First Battalion Commander was familiar with night attacks. But the Japanese were not used to night battles.

A battalion commander led his soldiers to throw grenades and shoot desperately at the area where the Japanese were concentrated.

The Japanese were defeated step by step and were finally driven down the southeast heights of Juyongguan by a battalion of soldiers.

The First Battalion of the Second Regiment of the First Army successfully recaptured the southeast heights of Juyongguan.

In the following days, the Japanese launched several major attacks on Juyongguan, but they were all repelled by the 89th Army and the Second Regiment. However, the 89th Army and the Second Regiment of the First Army also suffered heavy casualties.

During this period, the Japanese aircraft also participated in the battle several times, and the First Army Air Force also reinforced twice. However, the First Army Air Force's stay in the air was not long, and it missed the Japanese air force twice.

At this time, the Japanese deployed the 2nd Flying Group in North China, which had 24 flying squadrons and nearly aircraft.

Although the speed and firepower of the First Army's Huaxia II fighters were much better than the Japanese Type 95 fighters, the First Anti-Japanese Army had produced a total of seven Huaxia II fighters and ten H-1 bombers so far. One of the Huaxia II fighters was shot down by the Japanese aircraft.

If the Japanese Type 95 fighters launched a wolf pack attack against the First Army's Hua Xia II fighters, the First Army's Air Force might not be able to gain an advantage.

At this time, the Japanese Chahar dispatched a corps to launch a fierce attack on Zhangjiakou. Zhangjiakou was in danger of falling at any time. The Nankou and Juyongguan positions were about to be attacked from both sides. However, Wei Lihuang's reinforcements had not arrived yet.

Considering the current situation of the war between China and Japan, Tang Enbo had to order the 89th Army at Juyongguan to retreat to Weixian. Juyongguan fell completely the next day.
