Devil's Army

"Stop, or I'll shoot." The Japanese sentry pulled the bolt and shouted at Captain Liu.

"What are you yelling about? I'm Lieutenant Oda of the Hata Detachment, and I want to talk to your squadron leader."

"This is an important artillery position. Outsiders are not allowed to enter casually." The Japanese sentry still shouted vigilantly, but his voice was much quieter.

"Bang" At this time, Captain Liu and his men were already very close to the Japanese artillery guard troops. Captain Liu stopped talking nonsense with him and simply raised his hand and shot him down.

The soldiers of the first squad next to Captain Liu also raised their guns and knocked down the Japanese soldiers in front of them. Soldiers of the second and third squads fired at the Japanese soldiers on the left and right wings respectively.

The gunfire from the artillery position soon alarmed the headquarters of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army, and the chief of staff immediately sent troops to reinforce from all directions.

Captain Liu ordered the artillery to lower the muzzles of the Japanese artillery positions and fiercely bombard the Japanese troops who were attacking Dehua County. At the same time, he arranged for the team members to build fortifications to prepare for the Japanese counterattack.

The commander of the first regiment saw that all the shells from the Japanese artillery positions hit the Japanese troops in front of Dehua County, and knew that the Sixth Squadron had captured the Japanese artillery positions. He immediately commanded the first and second battalions of the first regiment to rush out of Dehua County, attack the Japanese troops outside Dehua County, and attack the Japanese artillery positions.

Captain Liu and his men were soon besieged on three sides by the Japanese 106th Division.

Captain Liu responded calmly and commanded the artillery to continue bombing the Japanese troops that were encircling the artillery positions.

The soldiers of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army encountered tenacious resistance from the soldiers of the th Squadron of the st Army Special Forces and were constantly bombarded by their artillery. They suffered heavy casualties but were unable to advance.

The chief of staff immediately called for air force reinforcements.

After a while, two Japanese bombers roared over to support the Japanese 106th Division.

Captain Liu shouted to his team members to abandon their artillery and hide in the surrounding bushes.

The Japanese bombers flew away, and Captain Liu and his men also walked out of the woods. The soldiers outside the artillery position continued to block the attack of the Japanese 106th Division soldiers.

As more and more Japanese troops surrounded them, the soldiers of the Sixth Squadron felt more and more pressure.

The Japanese troops in Dehua County once approached the artillery formation of the Sixth Squadron.

Suddenly, two more 75mm mountain artillery shells were fired, and the attacking Japanese troops were knocked down.

Captain Liu looked back and saw the captain of his team grinning at him.

A team leader was selected from the guerrillas to join the special operations team with him. They were short of supplies and afraid of poverty when they fought against the Japanese in Northeast China. Now, seeing the Japanese army's small mountain artillery, they were like wolves seeing meat and were reluctant to let go.

Just now when the Japanese planes flew over to bomb, he commanded a small team of members to drag two 75mm mountain cannons of the Japanese army into the bushes, and also moved some shells and hid them inside.

Seeing that the Japanese were fighting fiercely, they dragged out their small mountain cannon and fired two shots at them.

Before the Japanese soldiers could recover, the commander of the first regiment led the soldiers of the first and second battalions and rushed through Dehua County. Captain Liu also led his team members to rush out from the artillery position.

The 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment and the 6th Squadron of the Special Operations Team met at the Japanese artillery position outside Dehua County.

The Japanese 106th Division was unable to withstand the fierce fire from the st and nd Battalions led by the st Regiment Commander and retreated one after another.

Captain Liu ordered the artillery to turn the guns around and continue bombarding the retreating Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops accelerated their retreat and their formation began to become chaotic.

A regimental commander commanded the soldiers of the first and second battalions to continuously shoot at the retreating Japanese troops from behind.

Gradually, the Japanese army's retreat turned into a rout.

The 106st Regiment repelled the attack of the Japanese 75th Division, and Captain Liu also pulled two captured Japanese mm mountain cannons and artillery shells into Dehua City.

At this time, the Japanese 101st Division broke through the layers of resistance of the 723rd Regiment in the mountains on the northern foot of Lushan Mountain and arrived outside Dehua County.

The fierce artillery fire and continuous low-altitude bombing by Japanese aircraft caused many walls of Dehua County to collapse. Then the infantry quickly launched an attack on Dehua County.

Soldiers of the 723rd Regiment braved the artillery fire and stubbornly blocked the Japanese attack under the broken city wall, repelling this wave of Japanese attack.

The 101st Division of the Japanese Army was determined to capture Dehua County. As soon as the first wave of attack was repelled, it immediately organized a second wave of attack, massacring the soldiers of the 723rd Regiment on the Dehua County city wall with even more fierce artillery fire.

The Japanese army's wave-like continuous attacks made it difficult for the 723rd Regiment to resist, and one company after another was poured into the bottomless hole of Dehua County's wall.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, the Japanese army finally succeeded in breaking into Dehua County through the collapsed city walls.

Captain Wang organized a commando team from the 723rd Regiment's direct company to launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese troops who had advanced into Dehua County and had not yet gained a firm foothold, and drove the Japanese troops out of Dehua County.

The Japanese army then once again advanced into Dehua County with the support of heavy artillery fire.

The officers and soldiers of the 723rd Regiment retreated to civilian houses and engaged in brutal street fighting with the Japanese army.

Captain Liu led a part of the 75th Squadron of the Special Operations Team and two captured 723mm mountain guns from the Japanese army to the position of the rd Regiment in time. With the cooperation of the two mountain guns of the Special Operations Team, the Japanese troops that had entered Dehua County were blasted out of Dehua County.
