Devil's Army

Chapter 896: Xinyin Town Falls

In just one encounter, eight Japanese Type 95 fighters were shot down by the sharp-nosed fighters of the Devil Force. The Japanese Air Force captain who led the team was quite annoyed, but he could do nothing because they could not catch up with these sharp-nosed planes of the Devil Force at all.

At this moment, what the captain wished most was that he also had a fighter squadron with such a fast flying speed.

But what he could do now was to organize the two patrolling fighter squadrons into the patrols over the airspaces north of Xiaoguanzhuang and over Xinyin Town, to strengthen the air defense capabilities of these two airspaces and prevent them from being attacked by the sharp fighters of the Violent Ghost Force.

The two fighter formations led by Captain Xu and Squadron Leader Ren shot down 2/3 of the aircraft of a Japanese fighter squadron in one encounter.

They each patrolled over the Xiaoguanzhuang airport, looking for fighter planes and continued to annihilate Japanese fighters and bombers.

The Japanese fighters and bombers huddled together tightly, and could not find an opportunity for a while. But they were not discouraged, because the fighter planes were captured.

The 1st Company of the 2nd Brigade at the third fortification north of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport could now breathe a sigh of relief, because the attacking Japanese infantry had been destroyed by the 1st Army's air force, and the artillery positions had also been attacked by the 1st Army's bombers.

The defenders of Linnancang Town and Xinyin Town could also breathe a sigh of relief, because the passage for transporting ammunition was cut off by the Yidong Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. The transport team carrying ammunition was also attacked by the Jidong Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. The Japanese 41st Regiment responsible for attacking the two towns had no shells.

The commander of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, Ban Huan, urgently ordered the base to quickly allocate a batch of artillery shells to the front lines of Xinyin Town and Linnancang Town. On the one hand, he sent heavy troops to strengthen protection, and on the other hand, he ordered the engineers to speed up the repair of the damaged roads.

What made the Japanese engineers collapse was that just as they finished repairing this section of road, the road two or three miles ahead was dug up again.

If we keep stopping and starting like this, we will definitely not be able to reach the front line on time.

Captain Ito Ken, who was in charge of protecting and transporting ammunition from the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, arranged for soldiers to help build the road and sent a road protection team to protect the road ahead.

None of this escaped the eyes of the scouts of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Soon, Captain Shang got the information and set up an ambush at a corner more than ten miles ahead.

When the Japanese road protection team scouted the corner, they found a group of civilians digging up the road with pickaxes. They immediately rushed over while firing their guns. They wanted to shoot all the unruly people who were blocking their way.

When the Japanese road protection team reached the corner, fierce gunfire rang out on both sides of the path.

In less than 20 minutes, the soldiers of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Alliance wiped out all the Japanese soldiers in the railway protection team and quickly evacuated after cleaning up the battlefield.

By the time Captain Ito Ken and his large troops arrived at the corner of the path, his road protection team had become a pile of corpses.

Captain Ito Ken found that the clothes of the Japanese road protection team soldiers were not taken off, and the guns they were shot with were not Japanese weapons, so it can be judged that it was not done by the devil troops. As for who did it, only God knows.

Afterwards, Captain Ito Ken did not dare to send more troops to patrol the roads, and could only urge the soldiers to speed up road repairs.

It took the Japanese transport team nearly a week to deliver the additional ammunition to the 41st Regiment.

Regiment Commander Tetsujiro Yamada immediately distributed the ammunition to the troops attacking Xinyin Town and Linnancang Town.

During this week, the Japanese troops attacking Xinyin Town had no artillery support, only intermittent support from the air force. They suffered heavy casualties, but were unable to capture the remaining one-third of Xinyin Town.

As soon as the shells arrived, the Japanese army immediately launched a retaliatory bombing.

The remaining houses in Xinyin Town collapsed one after another under the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army. The soldiers of the First Army in the houses were either blown away by the Japanese artillery fire or buried under the rubble.

The commander of the third battalion of the first army left behind a platoon, and the rest of the soldiers withdrew from Xinyin Town.

After losing Xinyin Town, only one fortification remained on the east side of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

The commander of the Third Regiment of the Second Brigade who came to reinforce had only one thought in his mind, which was to not let the Japanese army reach the fortifications smoothly.

The third regiment commander gathered the remaining soldiers of the regiment and set up an ambush on both sides of the path, waiting for the Japanese attack.

The Japanese army finally broke through the resistance of this platoon of the Third Regiment and successfully occupied Xinyin Town.

After the Japanese army occupied Xinyin Town, they began to search everywhere in Xinyin Town. However, the residents of Xinyin Town had already been transferred to Ji County by the First Army.

At around 2:00 p.m., a squadron of Japanese infantry began to march towards the position east of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

When all the Japanese troops in this squadron entered the ambush circle of the Third Regiment on the path, the Third Regiment commander gave an order and fierce gunfire rang out on both sides of the path.

Two-thirds of the brothers of the Third Regiment were buried in Xinyin Town. The soldiers turned their sorrow into anger and fired fiercely at the Japanese troops in the ambush circle.

Two Japanese bombers came over to support, but the soldiers on both sides were fighting hand to hand and in chaos, so they had no way to drop bombs. They circled a few times and had to return in disappointment.
