Devil's Army

Of the ten Type 2 tanks transported by the First Army, two were deployed in the direction of Baodi, and six were deployed in three directions of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport. After Commander Du left, the remaining two Wulang tanks were ordered to be driven to the position north of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

The Japanese attack in this direction was the most fierce and was closest to the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

The regimental commander had only more than 1,200 soldiers left. He left a company to guard the fortifications, and only more than 1,000 soldiers participated in the battle.

The headquarters assigned him a thousand new soldiers, and the ratio of new soldiers to old soldiers reached 1:1, which had never happened in previous battles.

In order to prevent these new soldiers from causing trouble during the war, a regiment commander assigned the 1,000 new soldiers to 1,000 veterans, asking them to guide the new soldiers and let these new soldiers grow into veterans under the tempering of war.

At around twelve o'clock in the morning, a regiment commander led his soldiers and quietly approached the Japanese position in front.

At one o'clock in the morning, fierce gunfire and grenade explosions were heard almost simultaneously on the three battlefields outside Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

The full-scale counterattack of the First Anti-Japanese Army began. They had to smash the Japanese encirclement and suppression before the arrival of the Japanese Sixth Division.

Japanese Army Captain Nagano Yu knew that the Devil's troops were good at night attacks, so he was well prepared.

As soon as the soldiers of the regiment approached the Japanese fortifications, they were immediately blocked by the Japanese army and had to slow down the pace of the attack.

But not long after, the sound of "boom..." tank engines came from behind a group of soldiers.

Captain Nagano Yu was shocked because their company had no anti-tank weapons at all.

As a last resort, he could only ask the squadron leader at the front line to arrange soldiers to blow up the tanks of the devil troops.

However, the tanks of the devil's army did not advance at all. They advanced steadily under the protection of the infantry. At the same time, they continued to bombard the Japanese firepower points with artillery and machine gun fire to support the infantry's attack.

In less than half an hour, the soldiers of the first regiment successfully recaptured the second fortification. The Japanese army retreated to the first fortification.

After occupying the second line of fortification, the soldiers of the First Regiment did not stop but continued to advance steadily.

The four Type 2 tanks of the First Army, which was in charge of the vanguard, kept firing at the retreating Japanese troops. Soldiers from the First Regiment followed closely beside the tanks and kept shooting at the devils.

The road of retreat was littered with Japanese soldiers' corpses and broken limbs blown off by tank fire.

When a regiment of soldiers rushed to the front of the first Japanese fortification, they were bombarded by Japanese mortar troops who had been prepared.

Although the Japanese mortars could not cause much damage to the Type 2 tank of the First Army, they caused considerable casualties to the infantry next to it.

Without the protection of the infantry, the Type 2 tank did not dare to advance too far, fearing that it would be bombed by human bombs from the Japanese suicide squad.

The four Type 2 tanks of the 1st Regiment had to stay where they were and bombard the Japanese mortar positions fiercely.

The Japanese mortar soldiers exposed in the wild were no match for the Type 2 tanks of the First Army, which were wrapped in steel. After several rounds of bombardment, the Japanese mortar soldiers were defeated and had to retreat.

While the tanks of the Devil's Army were exchanging fire with his mortar soldiers, Lieutenant Commander Nagano Yu continuously sent out suicide squads carrying explosive packs to rush towards the tanks of the Devil's Army, but they were all knocked down by a group of infantrymen next to the tanks.

After clearing the Japanese mortar threat, the four Type 2 tanks of the 1st Regiment continued to bombard the Japanese machine guns at the first line of fortification.

As the machine gunners and machine guns in the Japanese fortifications were blown away by a group of tanks, the Japanese resistance became increasingly weak.

The tanks of the 1st Regiment continued to bombard the Japanese fortifications, and the soldiers of the 1st Regiment took the opportunity to approach the Japanese fortifications.

As the gunfire from the Japanese fortifications became sparse, the regiment commander launched a final attack on the Japanese fortifications.

All the Japanese troops in the fortifications who had no time to retreat were defeated by a regiment of soldiers.

Captain Nagano Yu had to flee back to Dangyu Town with the remaining defeated troops.

After the commander of the first regiment recaptured the two fortifications north of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport, he arranged for the garrison to consolidate the fortifications to prevent a counterattack by the Japanese army after daybreak.

At the same time, four Type 89 tanks and four Japanese Type medium tanks were hidden to avoid being bombed by Japanese bombers after daybreak.

The battles to the west and east of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport were also progressing smoothly.

Although the 41st Regiment of the Japanese Army had been on high alert to prevent the Devil Forces from launching a night attack, they did not expect that the Devil Forces would send out tanks to attack them.

Linnancang Town and Xinyin Town, which had just been occupied by the Japanese army, were recaptured by the Second and Third Regiments of the First Army shortly after the war broke out.

The commanders of the second and third regiments of the First Army did not order their soldiers to continue attacking the defeated Japanese 41st Regiment, but instead to consolidate the towns of Linnancang and Xinyin, which had been completely changed by the Japanese bombing.

After dawn, a more brutal battle is about to begin.
