Devil's Army

A regiment of soldiers is not afraid of the Japanese who are bewitched by the spirit of Bushido, so how could they be afraid of these pretentious rabble?

He immediately raised his gun and fired fiercely at the soldiers of the 338th Regiment behind the wall.

"Don't kill them!" ordered Deputy Captain He.

"Yes!"

The commander of the 338th Regiment and his soldiers came over in a pretentious manner to provide reinforcements.

A sniper from the regiment shot him in the right leg.

The commander of the 338th Regiment lost his balance due to the pain and stumbled to the ground.

The soldiers hurriedly supported their commander, shouting:

"The commander was shot, the commander was shot..." while retreating backwards.

Deputy Regiment Commander He took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to charge into Dayunshan Village.

The soldiers of the 338th Regiment fired their guns and quickly retreated to the back of the village.

A regiment of soldiers chased and attacked fiercely, continuing to attack Dayunshan Village.

Many soldiers from the 338th Regiment fell along the way to Dayunshan Village, and some soldiers simply raised their guns and surrendered.

In less than half an hour, the 1st regiment completely recaptured Dayunshan Village.

Deputy Regiment Commander He ordered a company of soldiers to take up a defensive position in the direction of the 338th Regiment's retreat, and the other soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

After a while, Commander Qin, who had received the news, hurried to Dayunshan Village with his guards. He shouted to Deputy Commander He:

"You really dare to shoot?"

"They shot and injured four of our soldiers first, and I shot in defense afterwards. What's there to be afraid of?"

"He shot and wounded four of your men, and you shot and captured more than 100 of his men?"

"It's not a question of how many people were injured, but who started it first?"

"Your Captain He is just a hot-tempered person!" Commander Qin shook his head and said helplessly.

"Master Qin, I'll leave these people to you. I'm too lazy to meet that birdman."

Commander Qin and his guards rushed to the headquarters of the 100th Division with more than 338 wounded and captured soldiers of the 54th Regiment.

As soon as Master Kong saw Master Qin, he immediately started to complain:

"Commander Qin, you need to take better care of your men. They are so outrageous that they injured so many of my men in one blow."

Teacher Qin changed his expression and asked coldly:

"Who was the first to attack, Commander Kong? Why did your people run into my division's defense zone for no reason?"

Master Kong knew he was in the wrong, but he still shouted stubbornly:

"My 338th Regiment was chasing a group of communist bandits and chased them to Dayunshan Village. This is also our defense zone."

"Where are the communists? Who is the communist? If you have evidence, I will help you catch them! If you want territory, you can fight to the north bank of the Xinqiang River, which is currently occupied by the devils!"

Teacher Qin left another sentence:

"I'm busy with official business. Goodbye." After saying this, he left without looking back.

Commander Kong spat at Commander Qin's back and cursed:

"Why are you so proud? If you don't care about me, I'll report it to the higher-ups."

After receiving the complaint from Commander Kong, Commander Yang asked:

"Why are you running into someone else's defense zone for no reason?"

"Commander, their methods are really similar to those of the Communist Party, and their troops are growing very fast. Their numbers will soon exceed our 54th Division."

"You are using this excuse again. Isn't it good that our troops are developing rapidly? Aren't you also trying hard to recruit able-bodied men to expand your troops? The Japanese army still has nearly 100,000 troops on the other side of the Xinqiang River."

"Wang Huajun asked us to do this. He said they would take care of it if anything went wrong."

"He told you to die, and you went? Don't you have a brain? Can you believe what the Military Control Commission says?"

Commander Kong was humiliated by Commander Yang and had no choice but to hang up the phone in anger.

If you ask him to fight the Japanese and seize territory, he wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave him a water tank as a courage.

The matter passed like this, and the Japanese army never launched an attack on the Chinese troops on the south bank of the Xinqiang River.

The First and Second Regiments of the First Army continued to develop in a low-key and rapid manner.

The stable development environment ended in early November of 39.

Okamura Yasuji, who considered himself an expert on China, suffered a loss in the First Battle of Changsha. Unwilling to accept defeat, he sent part of the Eto detachment across the Xinqiang River one night to test the deployment of the Chinese defenders.

At that time, a battalion of the 195th Division was stationed at the forefront of Xinqiang River.

It happened that the Second Regiment Commander discovered this action of the Japanese army when he was investigating the situation of the Japanese army on the north bank of the Xinqiang River with a golden eagle.

He immediately reported this to the commander of the first regiment, who then asked the commander of the second regiment to lead a battalion of the second regiment to the Xinqiang River front, and he called Division Commander Qin to ask for a fight.

Division Commander Qin asked the regiment commander to arrange his battalion as a reserve force to reinforce the front-line troops at any time. However, the regiment commander did not want his battalion to be a reserve force.

More than half of his battalion are new recruits who have never seen blood, so he wants to bring them out for some training.

Commander Qin couldn't bear the repeated pestering of the regiment commander and agreed.

The second regiment commander divided his battalion into two units, one unit ambushed at the front of the Xinqiang River beachhead position, and the other unit ambushed behind the Xinqiang River position.

At twelve o'clock midnight, a part of the Japanese Eto Detachment launched a sneak attack on the south bank of the Xinqiang River.

The first small-scale battle between China and Japan after the end of the First Battle of Changsha began in the form of a surprise attack on the south bank of the Xincheng River.
