Devil's Army

"You've just come here after a long journey, why don't you take a day off?" asked the gray wolf with concern.

"No, they asked me to fight last night. In fact, I came here early this morning to ask for a fight."

"Okay, Wulang, assign combat missions to them."

"Okay, Brigade Commander Liu, listen to my order: you arrange a regiment to defeat the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment and the 11th Regiment north of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport. The st Regiment of the nd Brigade will be responsible for attacking the north gate of Dangyu Town. You will be responsible for attacking the west gate and recapture Dangyu Town. Arrange two more regiments to assist the nd Regiment of the nd Brigade. The rd Regiment will push the defense line south and east of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport to Fengnan County and Luan County."

"Yes!" Liu Yaohua responded, standing at attention.

"Dongbaliqiao Village east of Luan County is the headquarters of the Japanese army. It was bombed by our air force yesterday. The deputy commander also went there to add fuel to the fire. But their commander, Itagaki Seishiro, went to Beijing for a meeting and escaped. They must have reorganized their headquarters in the next few days and have no time to attack us. If you can successfully attack there, and if possible, kill him again, see if you can capture Itagaki Seishiro alive."

"Yes!" Liu Yaohua stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and hurried back to the barracks. He led the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade to the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

Liu Yaohua personally led the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade and the 6th Brigade's direct battalion to the first fortification north of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

The commander of the first regiment of the second brigade, who was still at the command center, heard the sentry's report and hurried out of the command center to greet him.

Liu Yaohua asked the commander of the first regiment to take the soldiers down to rest first, and he and the commander of the first regiment of the second brigade entered the command center.

“How was the battle today?”

"Report to Brigade Commander Liu, the Japanese army has not launched an attack on our first line of defense all day today."

Liu Yaohua motioned for the regiment commander to sit down and talk, thinking to himself: "Commander-in-Chief He's guess is correct. The Japanese headquarters has been destroyed. They are now busy rebuilding the headquarters and have no time to attack them."

"Which Japanese unit is on the other side?"

"Brigade Commander Liu, across from us is the 11th Regiment of the th Brigade of the th Division of the Japanese Army."

"Isn't it the Kunisaki detachment?"

"It was indeed the Kunisaki Detachment of the Japanese Fifth Division that started the battle with us. The fighting power of this Kunisaki Detachment was really strong, and it successively conquered our two lines of defense. When they were preparing to attack our second line of fortifications, they were attacked by us at night and were driven back to the first line of fortifications. The next day, the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Fifth Division launched an attack on us. Brigade Commander, do you know anyone from the Kunisaki Detachment?"

"I know his ancestors! All of us Chinese soldiers must know them. They are beasts. They committed heinous crimes in Nanjing. If you encounter them, beat them to death and leave no one alive."

"Yes!" The captain stood up hurriedly and responded.

He probably guessed something, because in Baoding, the Fifth Brigade Commander also gave the same order to the Yamada Detachment when they encountered them.

"I heard that Dangyu Town was recaptured by us before? Are you familiar with the situation in the town?"

"When we arrived, Dangyu Town had already fallen. I was not familiar with the situation in the town. But Commander Hu of the 1st Regiment of the 11th Brigade had been to Dangyu Town before, so he should be familiar with it."

"Okay, ask him to come over and I'll ask him about the situation."

"He is in the military hospital now. He was injured when the Japanese attacked the second fortification. If necessary, I will send someone to the hospital to call him over."

"Forget it, come with me to the hospital."

Liu Yaohua didn't want to disturb Captain Hu's rest so late, but he had to recapture Dangyu Town tomorrow, and he had to understand the situation in Dangyu Town in advance.

When they arrived at the military hospital, Captain Hu had already fallen asleep, but time was running out, so the first commander had to wake him up.

Liu Yaohua learned from Captain Hu in detail about the various city gates of Dangyu Town and the number, size and direction of the main streets.

After understanding the situation, Liu Yaohua and a regiment commander rushed back to the command center overnight to formulate tomorrow's combat plan.

After discussing with the commander of a regiment, Liu Yaohua came to the conclusion that the Japanese army was currently unaware that their Sixth Brigade had arrived at the front line, and they could take them by surprise.

Liu Yaohua decided: The 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade will attack Dangyu Town tomorrow. The 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade will send a small number of soldiers to sneak into Dangyu Town from the west gate, waiting for an opportunity to support the 1st Regiment to attack Dangyu Town from the west gate.

In order to completely wipe out the beastly Kuniqi Detachment, Liu Yaohua also dispatched his brigade's direct battalion to set up an ambush at the south gate of Dangyu Town.

The Sixth Brigade is making intensive arrangements to wipe out the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment in Dangyu Town. Major General Kunisaki To and his guards have already rushed to Dongbaliqiao Village during the day, and together with other wing commanders and battalion commanders, they participated in Commander Banhuan's plan to set up a new headquarters and capture the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.
