Devil's Army

When the captain of the Sixth Battalion of the Japanese Army saw the reconnaissance team approaching the Huangyaguan Great Wall Pass, he ordered his troops to follow up.

The Japanese reconnaissance team successfully climbed up to the place where the soldiers of the Devil's Army had just stood, and immediately moved towards the fortifications in front.

A soldier from the First Army in the fortification turned his head and saw a small troop troop trotting towards him. He shouted:

"Stop, who are you?"

The Japanese reconnaissance team leader raised his hand and gunshots rang out.

A soldier fell to the ground, and the machine gunner next to him quickly pulled the bolt and adjusted the muzzle to prepare to fire at the Japanese reconnaissance team.

Another Japanese scout raised his gun and shot the machine gunner of the First Army in the head.

The machine gunner lay on the machine gun without firing a single shot, blood gushing out of his forehead.

The rest of the Japanese army quickly ran to the fortifications and occupied them, redirecting their machine guns to block the approaching demonic troops from both sides.

A battalion commander was resting with his eyes closed in the command room when he heard a gunshot. He shuddered and stood up. He thought he was dreaming and was about to ask the guard what happened, but another gunshot was heard at this time.

The battalion commander immediately gathered his troops and ran towards the place where the gunshots were heard.

Before the battalion commander and his men arrived at the fortifications, the patrolling First Army soldier had already engaged in a firefight with three other soldiers and the Japanese reconnaissance team.

The Japanese army's follow-up troops climbed up the city wall one after another and shot at the four patrol soldiers of the First Army.

The patrol soldiers of the army were attacked from both sides by the Japanese army and fell to the ground one after another.

A battalion commander rushed over with the main force, but was blocked by Japanese troops who climbed up the city wall.

The Huangyaguan Great Wall position is narrow and large troops cannot deploy.

The commander of the first battalion ordered the first platoon of the first company to seize the fortifications occupied by the Japanese reconnaissance team. The second and third platoons of the first company attacked the main force of the Japanese army that was climbing up continuously.

Since the soldiers of the First Battalion were engaged in close combat with the Sixth Battalion of the Japanese Army, the heavy artillery and mortars of the First Army were of no use.

After a fierce battle, the first platoon of the company finally captured the fortifications and fired at the Japanese troops in front of them from the fortifications.

In close combat, the brave prevail. In the early days of the war, the Japanese army was well-trained and had been poisoned by militarism, so they fought without regard for their lives. When the Japanese soldiers in front were shot and fell, the Japanese soldiers behind them continued to rush forward without blinking an eye.

But the soldiers of the first battalion fought to the death and held their positions firmly, and the Japanese army only advanced a short distance.

At this time, the Second Battalion stationed on the other side of the Huangyaguan Great Wall position also rushed over to provide support after hearing the news.

The captain of the Sixth Battalion of the Japanese Army, who had already climbed up the city wall, divided his troops on the spot to block the attack of the Second Battalion.

They all knew that after daybreak, they would not be able to capture the Huangyaguan Great Wall position under the bombardment of the Devil Army's heavy artillery and aircraft.

Every minute, soldiers from the First Army were shot and killed at the Huangyaguan Great Wall position, and every minute, soldiers from the Sixth Battalion of the Japanese Army were also killed.

The Japanese garrison in China encountered the most ferocious attack from the Chinese army since they arrived on the Chinese battlefield.

As the Japanese grenade throwers also climbed up the city wall, the soldiers of the first and second battalions were bombarded by the Japanese grenade throwers, and the casualties were even greater.

The first company of the first battalion has retreated to rest, and the second company has taken over.

The battle started at around one o'clock in the morning and lasted until dawn.

The commander of the third regiment also did not sleep all night. He saw that the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain were still climbing up the city wall. He ordered the mortar soldiers to bombard the follow-up troops of the Japanese army that were climbing the city wall.

As the Japanese follow-up troops were suppressed by the mortars of the First Army, fewer and fewer Japanese troops were able to climb the city wall. The firepower of the Japanese troops on the city wall also became smaller and smaller.

The biggest threat to the first and second battalions were the two machine gun positions that the Japanese built with the bodies of their fallen soldiers. They kept spitting out flames, reaping the lives of the soldiers of the first and second battalions.

As soon as the soldiers of the First Army killed their machine gunner, the Japanese soldiers next to them immediately took over the machine gun and fired at them.

Upon seeing this, a battalion commander called in the 40th Rocket Force, which blasted the Japanese machine guns and machine gunners off the city wall with one shot.

The Japanese army's firepower suddenly decreased and they were suppressed by the soldiers of the first battalion.

The second battalion commander also called in the 40th Rocket Force, which destroyed another machine gun position of the Japanese army with one shot.

The sharpshooters from the first and second battalions also specifically targeted the Japanese grenade throwers.

The Japanese follow-up troops were suppressed, and the mortar soldiers of the Third Regiment extended their firepower and continued to bombard the large Japanese forces.

The firepower of the Japanese troops climbing up the city wall was significantly reduced, and the commanders of the first and second battalions launched the final attack on the Japanese troops almost at the same time.

The Japanese troops on the city wall were finally wiped out by the soldiers of the first and second battalions. Under the suppression of the mortars of the third regiment, the Japanese troops under the city wall no longer had the ability to climb up the city wall.

The commander of the 6th Battalion of the Japanese Army's China Garrison finally retreated unwillingly with the remaining soldiers.

The Panshan position was held, and the Huangyaguan Great Wall position was also held. The Japanese army's plot to attack Jixian County was aborted.

Soldiers from the first and second battalions of the third regiment quickly cleaned up the battlefield and prepared for the next attack by the Japanese army.

Terauchi Juichi, commander of the Japanese North China Front Army, soon learned of the disastrous defeat of the 5th and 6th Battalions of the Garrison Army and began to prepare to adjust the deployment of troops and remove the poisonous fangs of the devil's troops.
