Devil's Army

The Fangshan position fortifications were filled with smoke and dust due to the bombing by the Japanese planes.

The soldiers of the 47th Division had already taken shelter in the anti-artillery caves under the arrangement of Division Commander Pei. The observation post was staring firmly at the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Japanese who were attacking them, and kept reporting their distance from the fortifications.

The artillery position of the First Regiment was the main target of the bombing by the Japanese planes this time. However, the artillerymen had already withdrawn the artillery and camouflaged it. The Japanese planes bombed the Fangshan position for a round but still failed to find the heavy artillery position of the First Regiment.

The second battalion of the 20th regiment of the Japanese army, which was invincible on the battlefield of China, did not learn a lesson from the failure of the first battalion. Although they were arrogant, they still approached the Fangshan position with skillful tactics in the cooperation of tanks and armored vehicles.

The enemy's tanks and armored vehicles had entered the effective range of the rocket troops, but the rocket platoon leader Lu did not order the artillery to fire, because he knew that there was only this one chance for a surprise attack, and he wanted to destroy the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles as much as possible.

The Japanese tanks and armored vehicles were only 50 meters away from the rocket soldiers, and the people in the position could already feel the ground shaking as the tanks moved.

But the experienced rocket soldiers did not panic. At this time, Platoon Leader Lu decisively ordered an attack.

Eight rockets with flaming tails whizzed towards the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

The machine gunner also opened fire quickly, shooting at the Japs desperately.

Five Japanese tanks and three armored vehicles were destroyed in succession. The Japanese soldiers nearby also fell down.

The assistant gunner quickly handed the rocket to the main gunner, who quickly loaded the rocket into the rocket launcher and aimed at the next target.

Another round of explosions sounded. A Japanese Type 89 tank was hit by two bullets and was blown into a pile of broken iron. Another rocket failed to destroy the Japanese tank due to insufficient range. It exploded in front of the tank, knocking down the infantry in front of the tank.

At this time, the Japanese planes also discovered the abnormality in front of the Fangshan position and began to attack the rocket troops.

Platoon Leader Lu quickly gave the order: Retreat, retreat immediately!

The rocket soldiers retreated quickly, and the machine gunners also began to retreat after completing their cover mission. Only the machine gunner Mo Erdan's machine gun was still "tat tat..." firing at the devils. His home was destroyed by the devils, and his hatred for the devils was far from being explained by a single word.

The reason why he wanted to be a machine gunner was because machine guns could kill a large number of Japanese soldiers. He felt very relieved when he saw Japanese soldiers fall under his bullets one by one.

Of course, his danger also increased greatly. On the battlefield, machine gunners were always the enemy's priority target.

"Let's go!" Platoon Leader Lu pulled Mo Erdan over and shouted.

As soon as Platoon Leader Lu and his companions left their fortifications, the falling bombs exploded.

Platoon Leader Lu and Mo Erdan were thrown backwards by the blasts of the successive explosions.

Mo Erdan got up first, pushed Platoon Leader Lu next to him and shouted anxiously:

"Platoon leader, platoon leader..."

Platoon Leader Lu shook his dizzy head, looked at the fortifications that had been razed to the ground by the Japanese planes and said with a smile:

"No need to run this distance."

Mo Erdan was also amused by Platoon Leader Lu's humor, and quickly pulled Platoon Leader Lu back to the Fangshan position fortifications.

Because the rocket soldiers and machine gunners retreated in time, this wave of bombing by the Japanese planes did not cause any casualties to them.

After bombing the ambush position of the rocket soldiers, the Japanese planes turned and began to bomb the Fangshan position.

The Second Battalion of the Japanese 20th Division also recovered and, with the support of the remaining tanks and armored vehicles, launched the first wave of assault on the Fangshan position.

The enemy planes were still bombing the Fangshan position, and the enemy's second battalion had already rushed over. The soldiers of the 47th Division had to climb out of the anti-artillery holes and lie on the broken and collapsed fortifications to prepare to block the enemy.

The mortar soldiers of the 1st Regiment also risked being attacked by Japanese aircraft and built mortar positions behind the Fangshan position.

The Japanese from the Second Battalion rushed to the front of the Fangshan position, and the soldiers from the 47th Division and the First Battalion of the First Regiment began to open fire to block their attack.

The Japanese soldiers in the front were knocked down one after another, and the machine gunners behind them quickly lay down, and the machine guns "tat tat..." fired at the Fangshan fortifications in an attempt to suppress the firepower of the Chinese defenders.

The grenade thrower following closely behind was half-kneeling and bombing the Fangshan fortifications.

The commander of the first battalion of the first regiment told the soldiers to avoid the artillery fire, while at the same time he asked the soldiers with better marksmanship to snipe and kill the Japanese machine gunners and grenade throwers.

The Japanese machine gunners and grenade throwers were constantly being sniped and fell to the ground, but more Japanese took over the machine guns and grenade throwers and attacked the Fangshan position.

At this time, the Japanese were very close to the fortifications. Their planes were afraid of accidentally bombing the Fangshan positions, so they stopped dropping bombs on them.

A regiment of mortar soldiers quickly bombarded the Japanese who were charging outside the Fangshan fortifications.

The Japanese's four tanks were arranged in two columns, covering the infantry as they rumbled towards the Fangshan position.

A soldier from the 47th Division rushed towards a Japanese tank with a bundle of grenades, but was quickly knocked down by the infantry next to the Japanese tank.

The commander of the 47th Division, Jin, was about to order his soldiers to continue bombing the tanks, but he was stopped by the commander of the first battalion of the first army, because he saw a Golden Eagle II flying through the clouds and rushing towards the enemy's tanks.
