Devil's Army

Five Japanese tanks were destroyed one after another in front of the fortifications by a company of rocket soldiers.

The Japanese infantry squadron that encountered the surprise attack suffered heavy casualties and retreated in panic, leaving behind more than 100 corpses.

After the Japanese retreat, their positions will surely be covered with artillery fire.

The company commander looked at the five iron turtles lying alone in front of him, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He called the first and second squad leaders to give them some instructions.

After listening to the instructions of the first company, the first squad leader and the second squad leader saluted him and said:

“Yes, ensure the mission is completed!”

Then the company commander led all his troops to withdraw from the fortifications.

Seeing that his infantry squadron had suffered a great loss and all five tanks had been destroyed, the division commander Sangmu was furious and ordered his artillery to cover the positions of the first company.

The artillery of the Japanese 110th Division bombarded the first company's position for more than half an hour before the second infantry company of the Japanese Army launched a second attack on the first company's position.

When the company commander saw that the Japanese army had begun to attack, he immediately ordered his soldiers to take up their positions.

The battalion commander, who had exchanged information with the company commander, immediately asked the regiment commander to prepare artillery support.

When the second Japanese infantry company arrived not far from the tanks, it began to charge at the fortifications.

At this time, two squads of soldiers from a company ambushed behind five tanks simultaneously threw grenades at the charging Japanese army.

A series of grenade explosions disoriented the Japanese infantry squadron.

After throwing the grenades, the soldiers from the two squads quickly lay behind the tanks and fired at the Japanese army.

The artillery of the 364th Brigade then launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese troops in accordance with the regiment commander's request.

Under the cover of their own mortars, the soldiers of the two squads quickly jumped back to the fortifications and continued shooting at the Japanese army.

The Japanese infantry squadron suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

Division Commander Kuwagi was speechless. He lost one and a half infantry squadrons in two consecutive attacks. He sent a telegram to Division Commander Kima Masaharu of the 27th Division, asking him about the battle situation.

The reply was that their 27th Division was not making good progress either.

At this time, he remembered what his colleagues said: "It is better to fight with the central army than to fight with the devil's army!"

At this time, a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Sugiyama Moto arrived again, asking about his battle situation and how long it would take to reach Tangshan.

The Tangshan garrison was in danger, and he had to reinforce Tangshan immediately, otherwise he would be punished by military law. He thought of a trick.

He ordered the artillery to bombard the fortifications of the second company in a less intensive manner. As soon as the artillery stopped, another infantry squadron immediately began to attack.

When the company commander saw the Japanese army begin to attack, he immediately ordered his troops to take up their positions.

Who knew that these Japanese troops stopped halfway through their attack, and the Japanese artillery began to bombard the company's fortifications fiercely again.

The company that failed to escape suffered heavy casualties in the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army and lost its ability to resist.

Before the artillery fire stopped, the Japanese army began to charge towards the first company's position.

Upon seeing this, the battalion commander immediately ordered the second company to enter the position to reinforce.

The second company and the Japanese army arrived at the position at almost the same time, but everyone did not have time to jump into the position, and they started shooting and killing each other in front of the position.

The soldiers of the Second Company in front of the fortifications fell one after another, and the Japanese troops in front of the fortifications also fell one after another.

The Japanese follow-up troops immediately launched an attack on the fortifications to reinforce the Japanese troops in front.

A battalion commander led the remaining soldiers of their battalion to rush to the fortifications to resist the Japanese attack.

The Japanese artillery extended their fire and fired fiercely at the battalion commander and his men. Soldiers around the battalion commander were blown away and fell one after another by the shells.

The artillery of the 364th Brigade also bombarded the Japanese reinforcements fiercely. One by one, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in the surroundings amid the explosion of the shells.

In front of Jiangjun Mountain, the two armies attacked each other like crazy, and even the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

More than an hour later, it was already dark and the two sides stopped firing temporarily. The battle returned to the situation before the war, with the two sides facing each other across the fortifications. However, the bodies of soldiers from their respective units were lying on both sides of the fortifications.

Division Commander Sangmu was so bloodthirsty that in the fierce battle, one of his infantry battalions was crippled and another suffered heavy casualties.

The commander of the 364th Brigade, Wang, was also furious. His 727th Regiment became the 727th Battalion. And it was an understaffed battalion.

What made Brigade Commander Wang most distressed was that only one commander, one battalion commander, one deputy battalion commander, and two platoon leaders were left in the 727th Regiment, while all other officers were killed, including some of the brothers he had brought with him from Sichuan.

In the evening, Brigade Commander Wang, the commander of the 727th Regiment, the commander and deputy commander of the 728th Regiment, and Brigade Commander Gao sat together in the brigade headquarters drinking water.

The head of the 728th Regiment pretended to be relaxed and said to Brigade Commander Wang:

"Brother, our superiors have given us the task of resisting the Japanese attack for two days. The 727th Regiment has completed the task today, and it will be our turn tomorrow. Our regiment's performance will not be worse than their 727th Regiment, and the task will definitely be completed. If, if I can't come back, please take care of my three kids in my hometown."

"Brother, you go first, I will follow you soon. We have been fighting the Japanese for nearly a year, and they take good care of the military families. I have also handed my baby over to Commander Tan, and asked them to take care of it."
