Devil's Army

When the Japanese lieutenant saw the devil troops rushing up the city wall, the captain had already told him that he would live and die with Tangshan. If Tangshan fell, his life would be in danger.

He led the Japanese troops and rushed towards the first battalion with grenades, throwing grenades at the soldiers of the first battalion who had just rushed up the city wall.

The remaining Japanese machine gunners on the city wall also quickly lay down and used machine guns to block the soldiers of the first battalion who kept rushing up.

The first battalion was repelled by the Japanese army's desperate fight to the death.

The Japanese army took the opportunity to recapture the city wall and frantically threw grenades at a battalion of soldiers under the wall.

The regimental commander withdrew the first battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties, and ordered the second battalion to prepare for an attack.

At this time, the Japanese air force also flew in to reinforce. Two Japanese fighter squadrons flew from Tianjin and Beijing to try to encircle and annihilate the four Huaxia II fighters of the First Army.

Japanese bombers began bombing a regiment of soldiers outside the city wall and searched for the regiment's artillery positions.

The commander of a Japanese regiment who had been planning to bombard the city wall again immediately ordered his artillery to stop the bombing and prepare a cover-up.

If the Second Front Army of the First Anti-Japanese Army, which already had a disadvantage in terms of manpower, lost its air support, it would be even more difficult to win the battle.

Gray Wolf decisively ordered the Third Aviation Squadron of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport to take off and fight.

At this time, the four Huaxia II fighters of Captain Yin's Second Aviation Squadron in the sky over Tangshan, relying on their excellent flying speed, kept getting rid of the pursuing Japanese fighters. They also took the time to sneak attack the Japanese bombers that were bombing the first regiment.

At that time, the commander of the Japanese Army's North China Provisional Air Corps had been replaced by Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara. The 180 aircraft of the Kwantung Army's Second Air Corps were almost completely wiped out by the Soviet Air Force. The Battle of Tangshan happened suddenly, and most of his air force was deployed in central China, preparing to launch a major attack on the Nanjing government. It was impossible to mobilize a large number of aircraft back for a while.

He had learned from the previous commander, Lieutenant General Tokugawa, that the Devil Force's pointed fighters were fast, powerful, and flexible in flight. He had to concentrate more than three fighters to attack a Devil Force's pointed fighter from several angles in order to have a chance of winning.

At present, he has mobilized two fighter squadrons. The 24 Type fighters should be more than enough to deal with the four pointed fighters of the Devil Forces.

The actual situation on the battlefield was exactly as Commander Yukio Kasahara had expected. The four Huaxia II fighters of Captain Yin's Aviation Squadron II had been passively dodging and avoiding the siege of Japanese fighters.

While escaping, they found time to shoot down Japanese fighters and bombers.

When Captain Ren led the Third Air Squadron to fly over Tangshan, the Japanese army still had 22 fighter planes.

Squadron Leader Ren continued to use Captain Yin's guerrilla tactics. He did not engage in direct confrontation with the Japanese fighters, but instead looked for opportunities to shoot down Japanese fighters and bombers during guerrilla warfare.

The H-1 bombers of the Second and Third Air Squadrons of the First Army looked for opportunities to bomb the Japanese troops on the ground while they were fleeing.

The Japanese 95th fighter group had no way to engage the fighters of the 1st Army head-on. They were so angry that they could not catch up with the fighters and bombers of the 1st Army, but they could do nothing about it.

Near noon, Japanese reinforcements from Gubeikou and Jiangjunshan arrived one after another and engaged in fierce battles with the 364rd Brigade of the Second Front Army of the First Anti-Japanese Army and the th Brigade of the Sichuan Army.

When the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division arrived in front of the rd Brigade's position, its way forward was blocked by the rd Brigade.

The artillery of the 27th Regiment of the Japanese Army launched a fierce bombardment on the positions of the rd Brigade.

More than half an hour later, the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division launched an attack on the position of the st Battalion of the rd Brigade.

But what puzzled the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division was that they successfully occupied the position of the st Battalion of the rd Brigade with almost no resistance. They even suspected that the one fighting them was not a demonic force, but a local force.

The vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division continued its rapid march to reinforce Tangshan.

Commander Masaharu Homma of the 27th Division of the Japanese Army did not know that all this was under the control of the Third Brigade Commander.

He had learned from the intelligence sent back by the Golden Eagle that the attack was only by the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division, and the main force of the Japanese 27th Division had not yet followed up. So he deliberately let the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division advance alone.

When the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division was marching rapidly towards Tangshan, it was suddenly bombarded fiercely by a small mountain artillery.

As soon as the bombardment of the small mountain artillery stopped, fierce gunfire rang out from all directions.

The lieutenant leading the vanguard of the Japanese 27th Division realized that they had been ambushed, and urgently ordered the troops to change from the rear guard to the vanguard and immediately break out to the rear.

But their retreat was blocked by the devil troops at some point. Two heavy machine guns and several light machine guns fired wildly at the retreating Japanese vanguard.

The retreating Japanese vanguard soldiers fell one after another like cut rice ears.

The Japanese 27th Division knew that its vanguard was surrounded, and it desperately attacked, trying to break through the blockade of the nd Regiment of the rd Brigade to reinforce the vanguard. However, it was desperately blocked by the nd Regiment of the rd Brigade and was also fiercely bombarded by the artillery of the rd Brigade. It was firmly blocked outside the position of the nd Regiment of the rd Brigade.
