Devil's Army

The deputy commander of the wing called for air force support while retreating. However, the strength of the air force at this time was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning of the war.

His air force formation had barely 25 fighters, and this number was decreasing every day because the planes of the devil's army would sneak attack their fighters every day. They would lose fighters and bombers every day.

But now he has no way to arrange one or two fighter squadrons in each airspace to protect the bombers, support the army, and bomb the devil troops.

The battlefields on the three sides of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport kept requesting air force support, and they kept running around in these three battlefields. This made the support from the three battlefields seem so pale and powerless.

The deputy commander of the regiment left the south gate of Dangyu Town and retreated to Zunhua County at full speed.

However, safely retreating to Zunhua County was just his wishful thinking.

Some soldiers of the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army and the remaining soldiers of the Kunisaki Detachment in Dangyu Town were ambushed by the th Brigade's direct battalion five or six miles outside the town.

The Kunisaki Detachment of the Japanese Army was the elite of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army. The Sixth Brigade Direct Battalion was the elite of the Sixth Brigade. When the two elite troops met, it was bound to be a brutal fight.

The commander of the 11th Brigade of the th Division of the Japanese Army and the Kunisaki Detachment, Kunisaki Noboru, was holding a meeting in Dongbaliqiao Village. The command of this joint force was temporarily handed over to the deputy commander of the th Regiment.

At this time, the Kunizaki Detachment, which had retreated first, became the vanguard and fought with the Sixth Brigade's direct battalion.

The soldiers of the Kunisaki Detachment charged forward fiercely. The machine gunners lay on the ground and fired fiercely at the soldiers of the direct battalion. The mortar soldiers in the rear continuously bombarded the hiding place of the direct battalion.

However, the firepower of the Sixth Brigade's direct battalion is no worse than that of the Kunizaki Detachment.

Their machine guns also continuously fired at the soldiers of the Kunisaki Detachment who were charging. While the mortars kept bombarding the soldiers of the Kunisaki Detachment, they also did not forget to counter the mortar positions of the Kunisaki Detachment.

The deputy commander called for a long time, but their air force had not come to support them yet. Because at this time their air force was bombing the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Brigade outside Xinyin Town, Linnan Cang.

Soldiers from the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Brigade have already attacked the outskirts of Fengnan County. Some Japanese troops have already retreated into Fengnan County, preparing to rely on the city walls of Fengnan County to withstand the attack of the devil troops.

Commander Sakahira, who was in a meeting at Dongbaliqiao Village, received telegrams for help from the troops below. All the telegrams mentioned that they were attacked fiercely by the large forces of the Devil's Army. There was no doubt that the reinforcements of the Devil's Army had arrived.

Commander Itagaki had no choice but to ask the commanders of each regiment to return to their own units to command the battle. He quickly organized a temporary command post with the people recommended by the commanders of each regiment and those selected by himself to command the battle.

The Japanese Kunizaki Detachment launched two waves of attacks in succession, but both were repelled by the direct battalion.

The remaining mortars of the Japanese army fiercely bombarded the Sixth Brigade's direct battalion. The deputy commander of the regiment was preparing to launch the third wave of major offensive in an effort to break through the defense line of the devil troops.

At this time, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky, and the air force that the deputy commander had been looking forward to finally arrived.

The Japanese Kunisaki Detachment attacked the direct battalion with the roar of the planes. But what made the Japanese army collapse was that the bombs from the planes kept falling around them.

The soldiers of the Japanese Army's Kunizaki Detachment looked up and saw that the bombers coming were from the Devil's Army.

Two bombers from the First Army plowed through the charging Japanese infantry and mortar positions, then quickly flew away, leaving behind a field of Japanese wounded wailing and groaning.

After this wave of attacks, the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment was no longer able to organize a large-scale offensive. The Japanese 11th Regiment took over the offensive and prepared to launch an attack on the Sixth Brigade's direct battalion.

At this time, the roar of tanks came from behind. The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade, which had already entered Dangyu Town, broke through the defense line set up by the Japanese blocking troops and chased after them.

The morale of the Japanese Kunizaki Detachment was low as it failed to break through the defense line of the direct battalion after a long attack.

At this time, the roar of airplanes was heard in the sky again. The Japanese soldiers dodged to both sides while looking up.

This time, it was indeed their air force that came to support them. The Japanese soldiers were ready to break through the defense line of the Devil Forces when their air force bombed them to pieces.

When the battalion commander of the Sixth Brigade and the commander of the First Regiment saw Japanese planes flying over, they ordered their soldiers to charge at the Japanese.

The two powerful troops were fighting each other, and the Japanese bombers had no way to attack them. He flew around the battlefield twice and had to return empty-handed.

The Japanese deputy commander was happy to fight with the devil troops with bayonets at first, because according to past experience, the Chinese army would basically collapse at the first touch of a bayonet when fighting with them.

The deputy commander of the Japanese army soon discovered that these Chinese troops were different from previous Chinese troops. They had a strong will to fight, dared to fight with them with bayonets, and their bayonet fighting skills were not inferior to those of their imperial soldiers.

Gradually, the sound of the Japanese army's counterattack on the battlefield became weaker and weaker. Under the desperate protection of the guards, the Japanese deputy commander fled back to Zunhua County from the side with a small number of soldiers.
