Devil's Army

With a loud "boom", the city gate of Xinyin Town was blown up by the Japanese army, and a large number of Japanese troops rushed into Xinyin Town one after another.

The southern and eastern defense lines of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport only had one main defense line besides Linnancang Town and Xinyin Town. Brigade Commander Du said that they could not give up the defense of these two towns unless they had no choice.

Brigade Commander Du arranged for the regiment directly under their brigade to defend Xinyin Town.

The commander of the brigade's direct regiment ordered the second company of the second battalion to rely on houses and other buildings to resist the attacks of the 41st Regiment of the Japanese Army one by one.

It has been three days since the battle of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport began, and Brigade Commander Du has not had a good night's sleep in these three days.

The commander of the Third Regiment of the 11th Brigade, the defenders of Linnancang Town, reported that there was only one battalion of troops left in the town. If Linnancang Town fell, how many days could the company on the western defense line of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport hold out?

The commander of the brigade's direct regiment in Xinyin Town also reported that their town had fallen today, and the defenders still had a battalion and a half of troops. If Xinyin Town fell, there would only be one company on the eastern defense line of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport. How many days could they hold out?

Brigade Commander Du only had the first company of his direct regiment left, so he had no choice but to call Wu Lang and ask for support.

After receiving a report from Brigade Commander Du, Wu Lang sent the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of the 2nd Brigade to the east and south positions of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport respectively, under the command of Brigade Commander Du of the 11th Brigade.

Shortly after Wu Lang transferred Gao from the three regiments of the 364nd Brigade, the Panshan position and the Huangyaguan Great Wall position in Ji County were in urgent need of help, so the th Brigade of the Sichuan Army, which had requested to fight, was sent to the Huangyaguan Great Wall position, and the nd Regiment of the th Brigade was sent to the Panshan position.

During this time, Wulang and Huilang took turns guarding the telephone at the headquarters at night. They were most afraid of the phone ringing, because when it rang, it was certain that there was an emergency somewhere.

Because at this time, Jixian County only had the Second Brigade's Direct Regiment, the Twelfth Brigade's Third Regiment, and the Fourth and Sixth Special Operations Squadrons. The Direct Regiment was responsible for the safety of the North China Theater Command of the First Anti-Japanese Army, the Fourth Special Operations Squadron was responsible for training new recruits, and the Sixth Special Operations Squadron was responsible for the safety of the Jixian Heavy Artillery Base. The only troops that could be mobilized were the Third Regiment of the Twelfth Brigade.

Just when Ji County was short of troops, it encountered an unprecedented crisis.

The belated Japanese 109th Division launched a fierce attack on the First Army defenders at Sanchakou and Bailonggang Bridge as soon as it arrived in Baodi County.

日军109师团的107联队和119联队被八路军129拖住，这时赶到宝坻县的是日军109师团136联队和109骑兵大队。

The 136th Regiment of the Japanese Army, led by Captain Matsu Youjie, fought fiercely with a company of the rd Regiment of the rd Brigade in a small road fortification for half a day. The company commander of the st Army had to withdraw from the position because his troops suffered heavy casualties from the overwhelming bombing of Japanese artillery.

After successfully occupying the fortifications on the small road, the 136th Army Regiment continued to advance towards the fork in the road.

Seeing the Japanese army approaching in full force, the soldiers of the Third Brigade and the Third Regiment at the bridgehead on the south bank of Sanchakou took the initiative to evacuate the fortifications on the south bank and went to the north bank of Sanchakou to confront the Japanese.

At this time, the water in the Sanchakou River had frozen. After the Japanese army occupied the bridgehead position on the south bank of Sanchakou, they immediately launched an attack on the north bank of Sanchakou.

The Japanese artillery began to bombard the north bank of Sanchakou, and the infantry also prepared to cross the river. However, they were counterattacked by the 150mm howitzers buried nearby by the Third Regiment. For a time, the Third Regiment was helpless and had to confront each other across the Sanchakou River.

Japanese Army Commander Matsu Arisetsu wanted to order the air force to bomb the 150mm howitzers of the Devil Forces on the south bank of Sanchakou, but at that time the main force of the Japanese air force was attacking the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport and was temporarily unable to withdraw.

The Japanese army attacked the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment at Bailonggang Bridge by surprise.

When the battle at Sanchakou broke out, the commander of the third regiment reminded the commander of the second battalion to pay attention to the security of Bailonggang Bridge. The commander of the second battalion did increase the patrol team and patrol density to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Jixian from Bailonggang Bridge.

What the Second Battalion Commander did not expect was that the Japanese army that attacked them this time was the 109th Cavalry Battalion of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army.

He felt something was wrong when he heard the sound of "tick-tick..." in the command room. He ran out of the command room and saw the soldiers of the First Army in the position firing fiercely at the Japanese cavalry.

However, the Japanese cavalry advanced very quickly. Before many Japanese cavalrymen were shot and killed, their follow-up cavalry had already rushed to the front of the First Army's position, waving their sabers with cold light and hacking at the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

The soldiers in the Second Battalion's position on the south bank of the Bailonggang Bridge were either killed by the Japanese horses or fell under the Japanese sabers.

The vanguard of the Japanese 109th Cavalry Battalion did not clean up the mess, but continued to cross the Bailonggang Bridge and launched an attack on the second battalion's position on the north bank.

Although the soldiers of the Second Battalion on the north bank fought tenaciously, the Japanese 109th Cavalry Battalion still broke through the positions of the Second Battalion on the north bank with its rapid speed.

The vanguard of the Japanese 109th Cavalry advanced all the way to the headquarters of the Second Battalion, and rushed and hacked at the headquarters of the Second Battalion.

After shooting and killing a Japanese cavalryman, the second battalion commander also fell under the saber of a Japanese cavalryman.

Because the Japanese cavalry advanced too fast, the frontline soldiers could not defend at all, and they had no time to return to defend. After the command post was breached by the Japanese cavalry, the commander, deputy commander, instructor and a squad of guards of the second battalion were all killed.
