Devil's Army

Chapter 744 Successfully Defending Jinghai County

The First Company of the First Battalion, which was escorting Golden Eagle II, arrived at the outskirts of Jinghai County and quietly approached the Japanese command post.

The company commander took advantage of the fact that the Japanese were focusing all their attention on attacking Jinghai County and launched an attack on the Japanese command post.

The Japanese captain was very careless. The guard force left behind at the command center, including non-combat personnel, consisted of only a hundred people.

The headquarters was suddenly attacked, and the captain hastily organized a counterattack. The Chinese soldiers who rushed into the headquarters were like tigers coming down the mountain, constantly knocking down the Japanese soldiers who appeared in their sight.

The few Japanese guards protected the battalion captain and hid in the battalion headquarters, trying their best to block the attack of the first company.

The deputy captain who was supervising the battle at the front line was shocked to see the command center attacked, and immediately ordered the third squadron to return for support.

As more and more Japanese soldiers came back to support, the company commander felt more and more pressure.

The battalion commander on the Jinghai wall saw that the Japanese soldiers who were attacking the city began to retreat, and the gunfire from behind the Japanese soldiers became more and more frequent. Knowing that their reinforcements had arrived, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to counterattack.

Upon seeing this, the Second Battalion Commander of the 657th Regiment left the First Company behind to defend Jinghai County, while the other soldiers followed the First Army to fight back against the Japanese.

The retreating Japanese soldiers did not expect that the Chinese defenders, who had been passively defending, would actually launch an attack on them. They were unable to organize an effective defense line and had to continue retreating.

When the company commander saw intensive gunfire coming from the direction of Jinghai, he immediately increased the intensity of the attack and finally broke into the Japanese battalion headquarters.

A company commander rushed into the Japanese battalion headquarters and saw 18 Japanese corpses lying in a mess inside, one of whom was a lieutenant colonel.

The company commander took away all the information in the Japanese battalion headquarters and set it on fire. Then he led the soldiers to fully block the Japanese who were rushing to the Japanese battalion headquarters.

The Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards the battalion headquarters saw that it had been captured by the Chinese army. They were facing attacks from both sides by the Chinese army and had to retreat towards Tianjin.

The 657th Regiment had been bullied by the Japanese for so long, but this time they finally got their revenge and chased after the Japanese.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the soldiers of the 657th Regiment returned to Jinghai County in high spirits to consolidate their fortifications.

When the Japanese invaders from Liangwangzhuang who were attacking the villages on the east and west sides of Jinghai County heard that the Japanese troops in Tianjin had retreated, they immediately ordered their soldiers to intensify their attacks. At the same time, they ordered the artillery to intensify their bombings. He wanted to take the honor of capturing Jinghai County alone.

At this time, the Japanese planes came to bomb again. The artillery had to move four 150mm howitzers and three small mountain guns to Jinghai Middle School and hide them under the Japanese artillery fire.

The Chinese defenders, without artillery support, fought hard and heroically, with Chinese soldiers falling every minute.

The Japanese soldiers finally rushed to the villages on the east and west sides of Jinghai County and engaged in a melee with the Chinese defenders.

Seeing the two armies engaged in a melee, the Japanese air force had no way of dropping bombs and flew away one after another.

The soldiers of the 657nd and rd Battalions of the rd Regiment had undergone intensive training by the Black Wolf and had fought against the Japanese on the battlefield many times. Their bayonet skills were not inferior to those of the Japanese, and the Japanese could not gain any advantage. However, the soldiers of the rd Battalion of the th Regiment had poor bayonet skills and suffered heavy casualties.

Just when the villages on the east and west sides of Dongjinghai County were in danger, intensive gunfire and grenade explosions were heard from the rear of the Japanese in Liangwangzhuang.

Wu Lang arrived with soldiers from the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the 1st Regiment of the 11th Brigade, and stabbed the Japanese in Liangwangzhuang in the back.

Wu Lang first attacked the enemy's artillery position. He ordered the first battalion of the first regiment to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's artillery position while the enemy was not prepared, and the second battalion of the first regiment to encircle and annihilate the outer infantry of the enemy's artillery position. Other troops then launched a fierce attack on the enemy in Liangwangzhuang from behind.

The soldiers in the Japanese artillery position were carrying shells to bomb the Chinese defenders in Jinghai County. Suddenly they were attacked and could not dodge, so they fell to the ground one after another.

Some artillerymen ran to grab their guns and fight back, but were knocked down one after another by the soldiers of the first battalion.

After dealing with the third-rate soldiers in the Japanese artillery position, the commander of the first battalion left the first company to guard the captured Japanese cannons and artillery shells. The second and third companies cooperated with the second battalion to launch an attack on the Japanese outside the artillery position.

Soon, all the Japanese in the artillery position of Liangwangzhuang were annihilated. The first battalion stayed behind to guard the artillery position of the Japanese, and the second battalion continued to attack the Liangwangzhuang Japanese.

When the soldiers of the 657th Regiment in the villages on the east and west sides of Jinghai County heard the loud gunfire from the rear of the Japanese, they knew that their reinforcements had arrived and their confidence increased greatly. They picked up the broadswords of the th Army and chopped at the heads of the Japanese even harder.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment also attacked the Japs even more fiercely.

The information obtained by the Japanese in Liangwangzhuang, Colonel Sada Saburo, was that the soldiers of the 38th Division in Tianjin retreated to Chaomidian, and a small number retreated to Jinghai County and Machang area. The main force that is now attacking them must be much more than one regiment.

In order to avoid the troops being completely wiped out, Colonel Saburo Sada urgently ordered the troops to retreat quickly to Liangwangzhuang.

Wu Lang did not continue to pursue the retreating Japanese, and ordered the first battalion to pull all the captured Japanese nine Type 150 mm howitzers, five Type infantry guns and shells into Jinghai County. He also arranged for the Golden Eagle II to patrol around Jinghai County.
