Devil's Army

The Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the blocking positions of the Second Regiment.

The Second Regiment Commander now had no artillery support, so he calmly used the Type 40 rocket launcher to blow up the Japanese machine gun that was responsible for covering the front of the position.

Seeing that the two squadrons in the Changle Street Pass were being ambushed by the Chinese army, and that they could not break through the Chinese army's blockade, the division commander Zhong Jing was extremely anxious and ordered the artillery to continue shelling the positions of the Second Regiment. The infantry moved closer to the positions of the Second Regiment.

The Second Regiment's position was immediately covered in flying sand and rocks, and there were constant explosions. However, the Second Regiment's commander did not lead his soldiers to retreat, because if they retreated, the First Regiment's plan to ambush the Japanese troops in the pass would fail.

When the commander of the first regiment heard the intensive artillery explosions at the second regiment's position, he knew that the commander of the second regiment and his men were holding out to wipe out the Japanese troops at the pass, so he immediately launched a charge.

The gunfire at the Changle Street Pass stopped, and a regiment commander led his soldiers to retreat quickly.

The commander of the second regiment also led the soldiers of the second regiment to withdraw from the Changle Street Pass position in turns.

When the Japanese 106th Division broke through the nd Regiment's position and rushed into the Changle Street Pass, the battle here was over, and the guns and ammunition on the position were hastily cleared.

The 195st and nd Regiments and the th Squadron withdrew to the south bank of the Miluo River, arrived in the area of ​​Fulinpu and Shanshi, and joined the th Division. They continued to prepare for battle, preparing to block the Japanese troops crossing the Miluo River for three days, and cover the main force of the group army to set up the main battlefield in the suburbs of Changsha to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

On September 9, the Japanese 23th Division, led by Rokuro Inada, took the lead in breaking through Xinkaitang and Xinqiang River and attacking the south bank of the Miluo River.

Then they continued to move south and launched an attack on the positions of the 195th Brigade Supplementary Regiment of the 566th Division and the st Regiment of the st Army in Fulinpu.

The Japanese 6th Division launched a series of fierce attacks on Fulinpu under the fierce bombardment of airplanes and artillery.

The First Regiment of the First Army and the 566th Brigade Supplementary Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and Fulinpu was also lost.

In the evening, Commander Qin led the reserve regiment and the commander of the first regiment led the sixth squadron of the special operations team to launch a counterattack against Fulinpu and successfully recaptured the Fulinpu position.

In the early morning of the next day, the 566th Brigade and the st Regiment completed the blocking mission and retreated to Shan City.

After daybreak, the artillery and aircraft of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army launched a fierce bombardment on Fulinpu, and the fortifications were completely collapsed by the Japanese artillery fire.

More than half an hour later, the Japanese Sixth Division launched the first wave of attack on Fulinpu.

The Japanese army easily occupied Fulinpu, and there were no Chinese soldiers left in the position.

Subsequently, a force of more than 1000 people from the Japanese th Division continued to march towards Sugino City, preparing to attack Sugino City.

When the Japanese army of more than 1000 people reached the path between Fulinpu and Shanshi, they were severely bombarded by the artillery ambushed by the 195th Division. They suffered heavy casualties and were unable to attack Shanshi anymore.

Shiro Inada urgently sent bombers to reinforce. Guan Linzheng's 195th Division's artillery positions and soldiers were heavily bombed by Japanese bombers and had to continue to retreat southward to Sugi City.

The Japanese 9th Division continued to replenish its troops, and on September 30, the 1500 replenished Japanese troops continued to march towards Sugino City.

When this Japanese troop reached the outskirts of Sugi City, it was attacked fiercely by the Second Regiment of the First Army which had been lying in ambush there.

Shiro Inaba then dispatched heavy artillery to launch a fierce bombardment on the ambush position of the Second Regiment.

When the Japanese heavy artillery began to bombard, the commander of the Second Regiment immediately led his troops to retreat into Sugi City, and continued to block the Japanese 195th Division with the help of the city walls and the soldiers of the 6th Division.

At this time, the Japanese 106th Division and the Saeda Detachment advanced towards northern Jiangxi, but were blocked by the 58th Army, 60th Army, and 30th Army of the Nanjing Government Army. There was no way to join the Japanese 33rd Division.

The Japanese 106th Division suffered heavy losses at the hands of Wang Lingji's 30th Army (71st Army, 78th Army) at Huangsha Bridge and dared not advance further westward.

The Japanese 33rd Division attempted to join up with the Japanese 106th Division, but was surrounded and attacked by multiple Chinese troops.

The Japanese 33rd Division attempted to wedge into Zhajin, cut off the main communication line between northern Hunan and northern Jiangxi of the 9th War Zone, and then attack the Pingjiang area to coordinate with the Japanese troops attacking northern Hunan to encircle the Kuomintang's 15th Army in order to achieve the goal of joining up with the 106th Division.

The 79th Army of the Nanjing government army pursued the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army southward and began to attack the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Chiayi and Xianzhong areas from west to east.

On October 10, part of the 1th Army successively captured Taoshugang and Maishi, cutting off the enemy's retreat.

The 20th Army of the Nanjing government army attacked the Japanese 33rd Division in Changshou Street, Longmen Factory and Zhuxi Factory from east to west.

The 8th Army of the Nanjing government army rushed south from the area east of Tongshan, preparing to cooperate with the 20th Army and the 79th Army to attack the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army.

南京政府军第30集团军与第79军、第8军、第20军互相配合，多次对撤退的日军33师团进行截击、夹击。

In this way, the attempt of the Japanese 33rd Division to join forces with the Japanese 106th Division has never succeeded.

At this time, a unit of the Nanjing government army attacked a large supply warehouse in the Japanese army's camp, causing several Japanese offensive units to face a food and ammunition crisis.
