Devil's Army

When Captain Chen arrived at the battle site, Golden Eagle's intelligence showed that about two squadrons of Japanese troops from Pinggu County had already been dispatched.

We must get rid of these devils in front of us as soon as possible, otherwise when the devils from Pinggu County arrive, the unidentified armed forces will be attacked from both sides.

Captain Chen's special forces suddenly attacked the Japanese mortar position and then specifically killed the Japanese machine gunners.

Captain Chen took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army's firepower was greatly reduced and ran into people from an unknown armed force.

"Who is the leader of this unit?" Captain Chen asked a guerrilla.

"I am their captain. It was you who attacked the Japanese artillery?" Captain Hu asked.

"Yes, you should retreat quickly now. The Japanese reinforcements from Pinggu County have already been dispatched. They will be here in less than an hour."

"No, this Japanese transport team is transporting food and supplies to Baodi County. They store the supplies in order to attack the First Anti-Japanese Army in Ji County. We are following the orders of our superiors to harass and attack the Japanese army's transportation lines."

Captain Chen looked at Captain Hu with gratitude. These guerrillas with poor weapons dared to resist the Japanese who were armed to the teeth with their passion. Just to help their First Anti-Japanese Army to contain the Japanese army and harass the Japanese army's transportation lines.

"I am from the Third Squadron of the First Anti-Japanese Army Special Forces. Thank you for your efforts. Retreat first and preserve the vitality of the troops. This Japanese transport team is left to us."

Captain Hu was very happy to hear that Captain Chen and his men were from the First Anti-Japanese Army. However, he was skeptical when Captain Chen told them that he would be tasked with destroying the Japanese transport team. After all, Captain Chen and his men only had more than 20 people.

Captain Chen did not explain, but turned to a team member and said, "Go to Sanchakou immediately and ask the commander of the third regiment of the third brigade to send troops to intercept this Japanese transport team."

Then he ordered another team member: You must rush to Sanhe County immediately and ask the garrison of Sanhe County to send troops to intercept the Japanese reinforcements from Pinggu County.

"We will fight and retreat to slow down the Japanese transport team's marching speed."

Captain Hu saw that Captain Chen had arranged to block the Japanese transport team and intercept the Japanese reinforcements in one go. He immediately followed Captain Chen's advice and ordered the troops to retreat.

"Which unit are you from?" Captain Chen asked Captain Hu during the retreat.

"We are from the Five-County Anti-Japanese Joint Guerrilla Corps, and I am the captain, Hu Xiangpu. We received a secret report that a Japanese transport team was going to transport supplies from Pinggu County to Baodi County today, so we ambushed them on this road. Who knew that this team of Japanese was so difficult to deal with."

"Your weapons and equipment are too poor. It will definitely be difficult to defeat the devils."

"Our weapons and equipment are much better than when we were first established."

Captain Chen didn't know what the weapons and equipment of Captain Hu's Five County Anti-Japanese Joint Guerrilla Corps were like when it was first established, but as far as the current weapons and equipment were concerned, he really couldn't praise them. But he didn't refute it, but invited Captain Hu:

"We can unite to fight the devils."

"How can we unite to fight the devils?"

"Your intelligence system is relatively developed, and our military force is relatively strong. You can provide us with the routes and times of some of the enemy's transport teams or small units, and we will send troops to eliminate them."

"That won't work. The headquarters asked us to send troops to contain the Japanese army and support your First Anti-Japanese Army. How can we just talk about it?"

“Sometimes intelligence is more important than a troop. If you provide us with intelligence, it will be your support to us.”

The Japanese transport team began to march towards Baodi. Captain Chen ordered the special forces to attack the Japanese to slow down their march and buy time for the reinforcements at Sanchakou to stop the Japanese.

After a round of gunfire, more than 20 Japanese soldiers in front of the Japanese transport team were all knocked down. The other Japanese soldiers quickly lay down and fired back at the place where the gunfire came from.

The special forces members did not get entangled with them and immediately moved away after firing a round of shots.

"Captain Chen, your soldiers are really accurate in shooting," Captain Hu exclaimed.

"This is our job, how can we not be accurate?" Captain Chen said after he knocked down a Japanese machine gunner with one raise of his gun.

When Miao Nana and the special forces members rushed back to Sanhe County, they told Captain Chen's words to the commander of the second battalion of the fifth brigade who was guarding Sanhe County at that time.

The second battalion commander immediately arranged two companies to follow the special forces to pursue the Japanese transport team.

The two companies of the Second Battalion Commander met another special forces team who came to report the news halfway, and then turned around to block the Japanese reinforcements in Pinggu County.

Two platoons of the Second Battalion, riding in trucks, finally blocked the Japanese reinforcements from Pinggu County on a small road leading to Baodi, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

As soon as the battle started, the Japanese reinforcements in Pinggu County launched mortar bombardment and machine gun fire, trying to quickly open a gap to reinforce the transport team.

The two platoons of the Second Battalion fought to the death and blocked the advance route of the Japanese army in Pinggu County.

Soon, the main force of the second battalion arrived, and the mortars began to bombard the Japanese reinforcements in Pinggu County. The four platoons of the first and second companies also besieged the Japanese reinforcements in Pinggu County from two sides.

The Japanese reinforcements had to retreat temporarily and prepare to attack again after adjusting their deployment.
