Devil's Army

The captain led his troops to continue pursuing the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, but they were suddenly ambushed by the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, resulting in heavy casualties.

The captain was furious and ordered the mortars to chase the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment and bomb them, and the infantry to continue chasing them. This also confirmed his idea that the devil troops were retreating after being defeated, rather than feigning defeat to lure them into an ambush.

The captain led hundreds of Japanese soldiers into the ambush circle set up by Brigade Commander Wang, and fierce gunfire rang out on both sides of the path.

The captain was horrified, he did not expect there was an ambush, and he quickly organized an attack. However, under the attack of the 4th Brigade's absolute superiority in manpower and firepower, the captain's attack seemed pale and powerless.

When Captain Fujioka heard the fierce gunfire coming from both sides in front of him, his face changed drastically. The devil troops really ambushed on both sides. He quickly ordered the artillerymen around him to fire at both sides of the path to support the captain and his men in breaking through.

However, the artillery of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade was soon suppressed by the artillery of the th Brigade and was silenced.

The commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Brigade began to organize his troops to attack Brigadier Commander Fujioka.

At this time, there were only more than 200 guards left by Brigadier General Fujioka.

As a last resort, he had to flee to Qinhuangdao with his guard troops and the remaining artillery.

More than half an hour later, the Japanese battalion commander, who was trapped in the encirclement, fled into the mountains near Sandaguan with about 100 Japanese soldiers under the full cover of his confidants. The rest of the Japanese soldiers were all annihilated.

At this time, it was only a matter of time before Qinhuangdao was recaptured. Wang Zhuangfei left the Second Regiment to block the northeast exit of the Three Passes while continuing to search for the escaped enemy, and ordered the Third Regiment to recapture Qinhuangdao.

He was not worried that these more than 100 Japanese soldiers would launch a sneak attack on them, but these more than 100 Japanese soldiers scattered around posed a great threat to the people in the surrounding villages.

Wang Zhuangfei and Huang Lei followed the Third Regiment to the South Gate of Qinhuangdao. Wang Zhuangfei picked up the telescope and looked at the Qinhuangdao city wall, and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Deputy Brigade Commander Huang asked in confusion.

"Look for yourself!" Wang Zhuangfei said after handing the telescope to Huang Lei.

Huang Lei took the binoculars, looked through it, and smiled.

I saw that the south gate of Qinhuangdao was closed, and there were more puppet troops standing on the city wall than Japanese troops.

"Brother, it seems that the Japanese troops in Qinhuangdao are already insufficient."

"Tell the third commander to start the attack."

The artillery of the Third Regiment began to bombard the wall of the Qinhuangdao South Gate. Mortar shells and small shells fell on the wall, and Japanese and puppet soldiers were blown away with the bricks and stones on the wall.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the First Battalion of the Third Regiment launched an attack on Qinhuangdao.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the Qinhuangdao city wall put up a desperate resistance but were suppressed by the machine guns of the first battalion.

"Let's go to the front line and take a look." Wang Zhuangfei called to Huang Lei.

"Brother, the front line is too dangerous." Huang Lei stopped him.

"What's the danger of these fake devils?" Wang Zhuangfei said disapprovingly.

"Brigade Commander, why are you here? It's dangerous here."

"Danger is bullshit. How come you haven't taken down these fake devils after fighting for so long? Take down Qinhuangdao as soon as possible."

The Third Regiment launched two waves of attacks, but when they reached the southern gate of Qinhuangdao, they were repelled by dense grenades and mortar shells fired by the Japanese and puppet troops in the city. The commander of the Third Regiment was also very anxious.

He ordered the artillery to bombard the enemy artillery positions on the city wall, but the mortars were easy to move, and the enemy artillery had already moved to another place.

After the third regiment's more intense artillery attack, the commander of the third regiment ordered the infantry to launch a third charge.

At this time, the Japanese artillery observation post on the Qinhuangdao city wall discovered an officer of the Devil Forces who was holding a telescope and pointing at them.

Immediately afterwards, two mortar shells whizzed towards Wang Zhuang.

Huang Lei listened to the whistling sound of mortar shells coming closer and closer, pushed Wang Zhuangfei down, threw himself on him and shouted:

"Brother, be careful!"

After two explosions, Huang Lei's left foot was injured and there were several holes on his body, with blood gushing out.

The third captain who heard the unusual noise ran over in a panic, shouting as he ran:

"Brigade Commander Wang, Deputy Brigade Commander Huang, how are you?"

The soldier had already helped Huang Lei to one side. Wang Zhuangfei shook his dizzy head and said:

"I'm fine. Let's see how Deputy Brigade Commander Huang is doing."

"Brother, I may have to die here. I'll leave my sister-in-law and nephew in your care." Huang Lei said to Wang Zhuangfei with a weak breath.

"Quick, send him to the infirmary for emergency treatment."

Huang Lei followed him to fight guerrilla warfare in Northeast China for 32 years, and got married two years ago and gave birth to a little fat boy. Now he has become like this, and he doesn't know how to explain it to his brother and sister-in-law.

Two soldiers quickly carried Huang Lei to the infirmary at the back.

When the first battalion's charge reached the vicinity of the Qinhuangdao South Gate city wall, it was again met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese and puppet troops.

A battalion commander called for mortar reinforcements, risking being accidentally bombed by artillery.

One shell after another landed accurately near the Japanese and puppet troops and machine gunners who were throwing grenades on the city wall, and the Japanese mortar troops were also suppressed.
