Devil's Army

A Japanese sergeant who was changing shifts got angry and kicked the Japanese sentry who was sleeping with his head down closest to him.

The squad leader who was kicked shouted:

"action!"

The other three sleeping soldiers of the First Army suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers next to them, waving their daggers.

The Japanese sentries who were changing shifts were horrified and wanted to resist. Several dark shadows rushed out from behind and pounced on them.

The five Japanese sentries were also easily eliminated, and the other five soldiers quickly put on Japanese military uniforms.

Ten soldiers from the First Army wearing Japanese military uniforms split into two groups and headed towards the bunkers on both sides.

What made the platoon leader happy was that the slight movement at the checkpoint did not alarm the bunkers on both sides in front.

The soldiers of the First Army successfully arrived at the entrance of the bunker and entered the bunker. They found that the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were dozing with their eyes closed.

There had been no fighting at Sanchakou, and the Japanese army's vigilance was very low.

As a series of gunshots rang out, all the Japanese soldiers in the two bunkers went to see their emperor.

A battalion commander ordered the checkpoint to be moved to the north side of the bunker, and arranged a squad of soldiers to stay in the bunker, and asked them not to leave too many soldiers in the bunker to prevent bombing by the Japanese heavy artillery.

The other soldiers rested on the spot and took action again in the early morning.

At five o'clock in the morning, the reconnaissance platoon was still in the vanguard, followed by the first battalion commander and his battalion soldiers, and the third regiment commander led the main force to the rear.

After entering the fork in the road, the reconnaissance platoon soon encountered a patrolling Japanese squad head-on.

“&@$

The Japanese reconnaissance squad shouted to the reconnaissance platoon of the First Army. (The reconnaissance platoon was wearing Japanese military uniforms.)

The reconnaissance platoon did not respond and continued to move towards the Japanese patrol team.

“&@

When the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon saw the Japanese soldiers raising their guns, they took the initiative and immediately opened fire.

The soldiers in front of the Japanese reconnaissance team were knocked down one after another, and the soldiers behind them quickly lay down and fought back.

After a brief and fierce battle, the reconnaissance platoon wiped out the entire Japanese patrol team.

The troops continued to advance towards the fork in the road, but the gunfire had already alarmed the Japanese defenders at the fork in the road.

The Japanese machine guns in front of the wooden bridge at the fork began to fire at the reconnaissance platoon, preventing it from moving forward. They also had no idea what was going on.

The mortar soldiers of the Third Regiment also set up their guns, and began firing mortar shells at the Japanese positions in front of the wooden bridge.

The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were blown away one after another, including the machine guns, and the fortifications were also blown down.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon rushed to the Japanese position as soon as the artillery fire stopped, and the soldiers of the first company followed closely behind.

The reconnaissance platoon took down the Japanese position in front of the wooden bridge at no cost and began to attack the wooden bridge, but was frantically strafed by the Japanese position on the other side of the wooden bridge.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon who had just rushed onto the wooden bridge were shot one after another and fell under the bridge.

The mortar soldiers of the Third Regiment quickly adjusted their guns and bombarded the Japanese positions on the other side of the small wooden bridge.

The Japanese soldiers on the other side of the small wooden bridge were like ants at the entrance of an ant nest. After one group was killed, another group emerged and kept shooting at the soldiers of the First Army who were crossing the bridge.

The attacking army's soldiers were blocked and had to shoot at the Japanese across the river.

As more and more Japanese soldiers arrived at the position, the pressure on the First Battalion to attack the small wooden bridge became greater and greater.

At this time, the soldier said to the third commander:

"Captain, I know there is a shallow ford ahead where people can wade across the river."

"Okay, Third Company Commander, you lead your company and Xiao Guo to cross the river from the shallows and attack the enemy's position from the side."

The third company commander led his soldiers to cross the river with Xiao Guo from the shallows. The first company commander no longer forced his way across the bridge to attack the enemy's position. Instead, he lay on the river bank and fired at the enemy.

The mortars of the Third Regiment continued to bombard the enemy's positions. The enemy mortar soldiers who arrived later also began to bombard the company of soldiers on the other side of the river.

Seeing that there were not many Japanese soldiers at the fork in the road, the commander of the third regiment ordered the commander of the second battalion to lead their battalion to attack the Bailonggang Bridge from another road.

When the third company commander and his men were following Xiao Guo towards the shallow river ahead, they suddenly heard the rustling sound of people walking on the side.

The third company commander quickly ordered the soldiers to move to the sides of the path.

"Chunxiu, sister Xiangqin, what's going on?"

"Brother Jianxin, there are devils. There are devils in the village."

"Xiao Guo, what's going on?" The third company commander came over and asked.

"Captain, this is my wife. The one next to her is my neighbor Xiangqin. They said there are Japanese invaders."

"Take a breath and tell me slowly, where are the devils?"

"The Japanese invaders have come to our village." Chunxiu said in panic.

"How many devils came to your village?"

“More than ten.”

"Captain, we are blocking the Japanese at the small wooden bridge at the fork in the road. Where did the Japanese come from?" Xiao Guo asked the captain of the third company in confusion.

"They are not the devils coming from Sanchakou. They should be coming from somewhere else. The dozen or so devils should be their scouts, coming to scout our situation."

The third company commander then shouted to the first platoon leader:

"Platoon leader, take two squads of soldiers and go back to the village with these two people. Remember to catch the two tongues."
