Devil's Army

The soldiers of the 47th Division who had been watching the Japanese being beaten behind the position happily threw their hats into the sky and cheered.

Although they had already made up their minds to sacrifice their lives for the country before they set out, they still felt heartbroken when they saw their comrades being blown to pieces by the enemy's planes, artillery and tanks.

Commander Pei also tightly held the hand of the regiment commander and said excitedly:

"I didn't expect your army to have such sophisticated equipment."

"That's the Japanese Type 150 mm howitzer. We just intercepted a truckload of their shells and are returning them now."

"Yes, yes, our Chinese nation is a country of etiquette. If you borrow, you must return." Commander Pei also said with a big laugh.

"I saw the small plane that attacked the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles in the air just now. Were they also captured from the Japanese?"

"Oh, no, the Japanese don't have the ability to produce it. That's the Golden Eagle II drone developed by our own research department. It can launch air-to-ground missiles. It's very useful for hitting the Japanese tanks and warships. But I heard from our army commander that the missile is a bit expensive."

I heard that the First Anti-Japanese Army had its own research department, which was able to develop cutting-edge weapons. Commander Pei stared at the commander of the First Regiment with envy. Their Northwest Army was so poor that they couldn't even guarantee a basic gun for each person.

The Japanese have retreated and will definitely not organize a large-scale attack in the short term.

A regimental commander called for medical soldiers to come and help the 47th Division treat the wounded.

The temporary division hospital behind the 47th Division was packed with wounded soldiers, many of whom were crippled by the bombing of the Japanese heavy artillery and aircraft.

The regiment commander fixed his eyes on a wounded soldier who was only about 20 years old. His left forearm was broken by a bomb. He was sweating profusely on his face while the doctor was treating his wound, but he didn't cry out.

The accompanying commander of the Second Regiment of the 47th Division introduced to the commander of the First Regiment of the First Army:

"This is our regiment's messenger, named Gazi. He is from Rehe. After Rehe fell, he and his uncle joined our Northwest Army. His uncle died in yesterday's battle."

Yes, the Japanese launched this war of aggression, which tore apart so many Chinese families!

While Commander Pei was talking to the regiment commander, Doctor He from the hospital came over.

"Doctor He, is there anything wrong?" asked Commander Pei.

"Commander, this medicine is called penicillin. It is very effective in treating infections after gunshot wounds. I have seen it in the Central Military Hospital. Can we get some as well?"

"We also supply the Central Army's hospital. We produce this medicine ourselves," said a regiment commander proudly.

"Oh? Can you help contact some people?" Doctor He asked, anxious to save his soldiers' lives.

"I've seen this medicine before, and I heard it's a bit expensive. One box costs a small yellow croaker." Commander Pei replied awkwardly.

Doctor He knew the background of the 47th Division. They were not as wealthy as the Central Army. He stopped talking and turned to leave. The regiment commander stopped him and said:

"I didn't bring much penicillin this time. Whatever is left after treating the wounded will be left to you."

"Isn't this bad? This thing is too expensive."

"No matter how expensive this thing is, can it be more valuable than the lives of our soldiers?"

Doctor He held the regiment commander's hand tightly. As a doctor, his biggest worry was that there was no medicine to treat his wounded.

After Dr. He left, the regiment commander and Division Commander Pei came to the Fangshan position. Looking at the already messy position, the regiment commander said:

"We must quickly consolidate the fortifications and dig anti-artillery holes on the sides of the trenches. This will effectively reduce the casualties of soldiers in artillery attacks. The Japanese retreated today, but they will definitely come again."

"If the devils come again, you can bombard them with large-caliber artillery."

"The devils now have air superiority, and our artillery cannot survive under the air raids of aircraft."

Division Commander Pei also nodded in agreement. He knew better than anyone how many soldiers of the 47th Division had fallen in the Japanese air raid.

The information that the 20st Battalion of the Japanese 80th Division was attacked by Chinese reinforcements in Fangshan, with heavy casualties and heavy artillery destroyed, was uploaded to the desk of Commander Kiyoshi Kozuki. Combined with the experience of Kenji Doihara's th Regiment, he was sure that the Japanese army was attacked by the devil troops entrenched near Tieling County.

He immediately gathered the second, fourth, and fifth squadrons to prepare for an air strike on the Fangshan position, hoping to destroy the evil forces here in one fell swoop.

After lunch, the commander of the Japanese 20th Division replaced the First Battalion with the Second Battalion.

At this time, the terrifying roar of airplanes came from the sky. A formation of 36 Japanese fighters and bombers flew towards the Fangshan position.

Without destroying the enemy's air superiority, there is no way to hold Fangshan.

Before the Japanese planes came, the commander of a regiment had ordered the Army Aviation to launch all the golden eagles into the air and hide them in the clouds, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Japanese planes. He also asked for help from the headquarters as soon as he found the Japanese planes.

He also quietly ambushed 40 rocket soldiers and light machine gunners at the front of the Fangshan position. This move can effectively destroy the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, but the lives of the rocket soldiers and machine gunners are difficult to protect.

But in order to repel the Japanese invaders, someone must make sacrifices!

When the Japanese planes began to bomb the Fangshan fortifications, the Second Battalion of the 20th Division of the Japanese had replaced the First Battalion and began to attack the Fangshan positions under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.
