Devil's Army

Early the next morning, the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade broke the stalemate and began to attack.

The Japanese army did not expect that the First Army, which had been on the passive defensive, would suddenly break out of the first line of fortifications and launch an attack on them, so they had to respond hastily.

The two sides began fighting outside the first line of fortification north of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

Although the morale of the soldiers of the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army was low, they still stubbornly held their positions and resisted the attack of the devil's troops when they did not receive orders from their superiors to retreat.

The Japanese air force knew that the battle had begun here, and bombers flew over to support under the escort of fighter jets.

The second battalion commander in charge of the attack urgently ordered the soldiers to suspend the attack and avoid the bombing of Japanese aircraft.

At this time, the Second and Third Regiments of the Sixth Brigade also began fighting in the outer areas of Linnancang Town and Xinyin Town.

After hastily bombing a regiment of troops, the Japanese planes rushed to support the 41st Regiment of the Japanese Army outside Linnancang Town.

Captain Xu led the remaining seven Hua Xia II fighters of the First Army and kept searching for aircraft in the air, shooting down the Japanese fighters or bombers that had fallen behind.

The Japanese fighter and bomber formations were very cautious and rarely fell behind.

As a last resort, Squadron Leader Ren drove his Hua Xia II fighter into the Japanese aircraft formation to create chaos.

Captain Ren immediately damaged two Japanese fighter planes, but his own plane was also hit by several bullets. Fortunately, no important equipment was damaged and the plane could still be driven.

Captain Xu led a large force to chase the Japanese fighters and bombers that were in chaos and fell behind in the periphery, and shot down three Japanese fighters and two bombers in succession.

Seeing that the Japanese planes were unable to take care of themselves, a regiment commander ordered the tanks to cooperate in the attack.

With the cooperation of the Type 2 tank, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment finally broke through the Japanese defense line.

The Japanese army began to retreat alternately towards Dangyu Town. However, the tanks of the First Army advanced too fast, and the Japanese army had no way to escape the pursuit of the Second Battalion.

Japanese Army Captain Nagano Yu went to the headquarters for a meeting. The deputy commander in charge of commanding the troops had to order the mortar troops to bombard the Devil Troops soldiers to delay the Devil Troops' attack, while organizing the soldiers to blow up the tanks.

As the Japanese troops were frantically using soldiers to blow up tanks, the commander of a regiment temporarily slowed down the tanks' advance and asked the infantry to catch up and clear out the Japanese infantry in front of the tanks.

The 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army took the opportunity to retreat to Dangyu Town.

Shortly after the battle of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment started, the First Regiment of the Sixth Brigade arranged a squad of soldiers to disguise themselves as ordinary people and sneak into the west gate of Dangyu Town. They also took weapons from the belly of the golden eagle and were ready to support the large force in attacking the city from inside the town at any time.

The main force of the Japanese army withdrew into the town from the north gate of Dangyu Town, and the deputy commander of the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army ordered the Japanese army to close all the city gates.

People at the west gate of Dangyu Town swarmed in to try to enter or leave the city before the gate was closed.

At this time, soldiers from the first company of the first regiment of the sixth brigade, who were mixed in with the civilians, opened fire and killed the Japanese troops who were closing the city gates.

The 1st Company of the 6th Brigade, which had already approached the west gate of Dangyu Town, immediately launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the city wall. The Japanese troops on the city wall hurriedly lay on the wall and fought back.

A small group of Japanese troops rushed to the west gate of Dangyu Town and attempted to close the city gate.

The soldiers from the first squad of the first company who had been hiding nearby suddenly rushed over and shot at the dozen or so Japanese soldiers to prevent them from closing the city gate.

Under the cover of mortars, the soldiers of the first company of the Sixth Brigade quickly rushed into the city gate and cooperated with the soldiers of the first squad to shoot at the Japanese troops on the city wall.

The west gate of Dangyu Town was occupied by soldiers from the 1st Company of the 6th Brigade, and soldiers from the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade rushed into Dangyu Town one after another.

As more and more soldiers from the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade rushed into Dangyu Town, the Japanese troops on the city wall gradually could not hold on and began to retreat.

The regiment commander divided his troops into two groups, one group continued to pursue the retreating Japanese troops, and the other group approached the north gate of Dangyu Town.

When the soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade approached the north gate of Dangyu Town, they encountered strong resistance from the Japanese army and had to temporarily stop advancing.

At this time, soldiers from the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade had also pursued the Japanese troops to the north gate of Dangyu Town and began to attack the Japanese troops on the north gate wall of Jueyu Town.

Japanese planes learned that the situation in Dangyu Town was critical and flew over to provide reinforcements.

Under the fierce bombing of Japanese planes, the First Regiment of the Second Brigade had to temporarily stop the attack.

Seeing that the Japanese planes had left, the commander of the Second Regiment of the Sixth Brigade in Linnancang Town also stepped up his attack on the Japanese troops in the front. The Japanese defense line in Linnancang Town was in danger again.

Japanese planes had to fly over again to support the Japanese troops in Linnancang Town.

When the commander of the first regiment of the Sixth Brigade saw that the Japanese planes had flown away, he intensified his attack on Dangyu Town.

The Japanese planes kept running around in Dangyu Town, Linnancang Town and Xinyin Town. On the surface, all three battlefields were supported, but in fact, the support for each battlefield was very limited.

The commander of the first regiment of the second brigade ordered the tanks to intensify the bombing of the Japanese fire points on the city wall while the Japanese planes flew away. The infantry took the opportunity to rush to the north gate of Dangyu Town.

At the same time, the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in the town.

The 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army was in a very passive position as it was attacked from both sides by the st Regiment of the nd Brigade and the st Regiment of the th Brigade.

The four Type 2 tanks of the First Army also rushed into the collapsed city gate one after another, bombing and chasing the Japanese army.

Seeing this, the deputy commander of the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army had to lead his troops to retreat to the south gate of Dangyu Town.
