Devil's Army

The soldiers of the first battalion were suppressed by the Japanese light and heavy machine guns in the 12 trucks and could not raise their heads. The Japanese troops on both sides of the path also began to encircle them.

The Second Battalion of the First Regiment that arrived later blocked the Japanese troops that were feigning defeat and were trying to encircle them from both sides of the path, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides.

The third battalion concentrated the mortars of two battalions and fiercely bombarded the 12 trucks of the Japanese transport convoy.

The Japanese soldiers in the trucks could dodge the bullets fired by the soldiers of the first battalion, but they could not dodge the mortar shells that fell from the sky. The Japanese soldiers in the trucks were blown away by the mortar shells one after another. The firepower suppressing the first battalion was rapidly weakened.

The commander of the first battalion took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to fight and retreat, and gradually withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of the second and third battalions.

The Japanese army did not want to let the fat meat slip away, so they jumped off the trucks and chased the soldiers of the first battalion. However, they were stubbornly blocked by the soldiers of the second battalion.

After the soldiers of the first battalion withdrew from the battlefield, the soldiers of the second and third battalions also withdrew to Sanhe County one after another.

After returning to Sanhe County, the battalion commander reported the failed ambush to the regiment commander.

"What are the casualties of the troops?" asked a regiment commander worriedly.

"Thanks to your advance warning, our casualties were not too great."

"I didn't expect the Japanese to set an ambush. Captain Chen reminded me in advance. Let's go down and rest first."

Captain Chen sent a telegram back to the headquarters outside the city of Beiping and then sent it to the Tianjin Intelligence Station. Fortunately, it was finally connected.

Captain Chen also learned that the Tianjin Intelligence Station had been destroyed by the Japanese army and two special forces members had died. Fortunately, the backbone of the intelligence station was still there and could continue to work.

The transport ambush designed by Beiping was attacked again after passing Pinggu County and the Tianjin Devil Forces Intelligence Station was destroyed, confirming the speculation of Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi:

Their military operations in Tianjin and Beijing were under the surveillance of the Devil's Army. Without cutting off the intelligence line of the Devil's Army, they would not be able to transport military supplies to Baodi.

However, apart from destroying an intelligence station of the Devil Forces in Tianjin and killing two intelligence officers of the Devil Forces, they had no other clues.

Captain Chen also realized the threat posed by the Japanese telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle. They had to run to the suburbs to send messages, which was not only unsafe but also a waste of time.

Captain Chen decided to destroy the Japanese telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle.

On this day, an old beggar with dishevelled hair and ragged clothes sat on a path often used by Japanese military telegraph reconnaissance vehicles. He had a bowl in front of him and stared blankly at the occasional passers-by.

In the afternoon, the Japanese military's telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle slowly drove over from a distance. Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Juichi put a lot of pressure on the Beiping Special High Section, asking them to crack the intelligence network of the devil's army within three days. However, the section chief of the Beiping Special High Section had no clue at all.

When the Japanese military telegraph reconnaissance vehicle entered a corner of the trail, three gunshots suddenly rang out from behind, and the three Japanese soldiers behind the reconnaissance vehicle fell to the ground.

The other Japanese soldiers quickly chased towards the place where the gunshots came from, like wolves smelling blood.

While the Japanese army's attention was drawn to the gunfire around the corner, the old beggar quickly threw two pulled grenades out of the car window into the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle and left quickly.

The Japanese soldier, who was concentrating on receiving the telecommunications signal, suddenly saw two smoking objects thrown in from the car window. He looked closely, and before he could shout, two explosions of "boom, boom" blew him and the equipment in the telecommunications car into a pile of scrap metal.

The Japanese army, who were chasing the suspect towards the place where the gunfire was heard the explosion from the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle, realized that they had been tricked and hurried back, but the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle had been blown up.

The gunfire and the explosion of the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle were a series of premeditated actions that clearly proved that there was an intelligence organization of the Devil's Army hiding in that area. The telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle had already threatened their existence.

There were only two telecommunications reconnaissance vehicles in the entire Peiping. The chief of the Special High Technology Department scolded the second lieutenant who was guarding the reconnaissance vehicle and quickly transferred the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle on the south side of Peiping.

Before leaving, the section chief ordered that if the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle was damaged again, the second lieutenant would die as a token of apology.

The second lieutenant timidly led the soldiers to continue the search.

The next day, the Japanese sent a new reconnaissance vehicle to the area after the telecommunications vehicle was blown up. It was impossible to blow it up again because there was no way for outsiders to get close to it.

Captain Chen had a confrontation with the Japanese telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle. Since humans couldn't blow it up, he asked the Golden Eagle to do it.

The telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle finally reached the trail. A golden eagle descended from the sky, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun on its belly "da da da..." fired at the Japanese troops around the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle.

As the Japanese soldiers protecting the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle were knocked down one after another, the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle was left alone again.

After the golden eagle eliminated the Japanese troops around the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle, it flew over, knocked down the driver of the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle, and then fired at the reconnaissance vehicle desperately.

The last remaining reconnaissance vehicle in Peiping was also blown up by the soldiers of the First Army.
