Devil's Army

It turned out that when the Japanese 65th Regiment retreated through Huangcun, it had a fierce battle with the Chinese troops in Huangcun. Although the 65th Regiment finally succeeded in occupying Huangcun, it suffered heavy casualties. The Chinese troops and civilians in Huangcun successfully retreated.

Today, a small team from the 65th Regiment made a surprise attack and surrounded Huang Village. The villagers had no time to escape and were trapped in the village.

When Deputy Captain He and his men arrived at Huangcun, the Japanese were searching every house to see if there were any people there. From time to time, the civilians who were searched were driven to the village well to gather.

Some civilians who walked a little slower were shot or stabbed to death by the Japanese.

There was a big pot burning next to the well, and a machine gun was mounted on each side, facing the shivering people in front.

A platoon and the deputy company commander of the first regiment rushed over first and shot dead the Japanese soldiers who were pointing guns at the civilians near the fire and the wellhead.

A dozen Japanese soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked down one after another by the soldiers of the regiment and the reconnaissance company.

The Japanese soldiers who were searching in the village heard the gunshots and rushed over to exchange fire with the soldiers of the reconnaissance company and the first regiment.

The snipers of the reconnaissance company suppressed the Japanese soldiers who showed up, and a regiment of soldiers jumped and kept approaching the villagers' houses and shot at the Japanese soldiers.

A regiment of soldiers successfully squeezed the Japanese into a few houses.

At this time, two soldiers who ran to the wellhead to check the situation saw a scene that they would never forget, and hurriedly ran out of Huangcun to report to the commander of the Fifth Brigade.

When Meilang heard the soldier's report, he and the guards rushed over with a dark face.

Two naked villagers were seen lying next to the burning pot. Their faces were twisted in extreme pain. The flesh on their thighs had been cut off by the Japanese, leaving only white bones. The flesh on their chests had also been cut off by the Japanese with knives.

Meilang heard the continuous gunfire coming from the village and ordered the guards to go to the roof and kill this small group of Japanese devils!

The guards climbed onto the roof and quickly approached the Japanese who were fighting desperately.

After several grenades were thrown down, the Japanese gunfire in the yard stopped.

The Fifth Brigade Commander ordered the heads of the 68 devils to be cut off and taken away, and their bodies to be burned on the firewood. At the same time, he asked the signalman to request reinforcements and ammunition from the commander-in-chief.

The commander of the Fifth Brigade led his troops to the Dace River Valley far away from Huangcun and threw the 68 Japanese heads in a row on the path in the valley.

Then we arranged the first regiment on the left valley of Dace River, and the second regiment on the right valley of Dace River, waiting for the Japanese to enter the Dace River Valley.

Having witnessed the Japanese's perverted and brutal behavior, this platoon, led by Platoon Leader Wu and the reconnaissance company of Deputy Company Commander He, acted as decoys to lure the Japanese into the ambush circle in the Dace Valley.

When Deputy Company Commander He and Platoon Leader Wu approached the outskirts of Baoding City, the Battle of Baoding had already begun.

The Japanese 6th Division, 14th Division and 20th Division, with the support of tanks, large-caliber artillery and aircraft, fiercely bombarded the Baoding city wall in three directions.

On the Chinese side, the Second Army commanded by Liu Zhi, under which were Sun Lianzhong's First Corps, Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army, Tang Enbo's Twentieth Corps, Wei Lihuang's Fourteenth Army, Shang Zhen's Twentieth Army, Wan Fulin's Fifty-third Army, totaling more than 100,000 people defending the defense line centered on Baoding City.

Since the Chinese army lacked large-caliber heavy artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, the battle was difficult and tragic. The soldiers fought back the Japanese troops who had entered the city several times with only light weapons and grenades.

When the Japanese army was attacking the city with all their might, Platoon Leader Wu and his men fired at the 65th Regiment of the Yamada Detachment from behind, killing and wounding more than a dozen Japanese soldiers before quickly retreating.

The commander of the 65th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Colonel Ryokaku Gyōsaku, has been having a rough time these days. One of his three infantry battalions was completely wiped out by the devil's troops, and another had more than half of its troops killed or wounded. Now the Chinese army is attacking him from behind.

He was furious and ordered the Second Battalion to arrange an infantry company to immediately pursue the Chinese troops that had ambushed them.

Deputy Company Commander He and his men deliberately retreated step by step and led the Japanese squadron towards the Dace River Valley.

The Japanese squadron leader stopped when he reached the entrance of the Dace River Valley. The valley was too dangerous, and if the Chinese army had ambushed troops on both sides, his squadron would be in danger.

Seeing that the Japanese did not enter the valley, Deputy Company Commander He ordered the sniper to continue provoke the Japanese.

The soldiers in Platoon Leader Wu's platoon who were good at shooting also knocked down the Japanese at the mouth of the valley one after another.

The Japanese squadron leader was very calm. His battalion had suffered losses in many attacks, so he was not fooled and ordered his soldiers to retreat.

Deputy Company Commander He and Platoon Leader Wu were extremely anxious when they saw that the Japanese were not fooled, so they had no choice but to launch a charge against the Japanese squadron.

A fully equipped imperial infantry squadron was forced to retreat by more than 70 Chinese troops. No matter how calm the commander was, the arrogant soldiers could not remain calm.

The Japanese soldiers in this squadron stopped retreating and shot at Deputy Company Commander He and Platoon Leader Wu.

Deputy Company Commander He and Platoon Leader Wu were defeated and retreated while fighting back. Several soldiers died during the retreat.

When the bloodthirsty Japs saw the Chinese soldiers fall, they chased after them.

The Japanese squadron leader was also completely furious, waving his command knife and shouting: "Attack!"
