Devil's Army

Chapter 1602: Planning the Transportation Line

Soon, Secretary Li's intelligence agent reported that the Japanese army's transport convoy in Mudanjiang City had changed its operations to nighttime operations.

Deputy Commander Xu immediately ordered the Xinjing Air Force to take off at night and conduct night flight training.

When the Japanese transport convoy heard the roar of the plane, they quickly turned off the lights and moved forward in the dark.

The two couriers who were watching the Japanese convoy not far ahead thought quickly and threw several grenades in succession when the Japanese convoy approached.

The guards of the Japanese convoy that was attacked subconsciously fought back immediately.

The flash of the grenade explosion and the dense gunfire quickly attracted the attention of the air force behind.

They immediately lowered their altitude and fired at the place where the fire was coming from.

The flashes of exploding machine gun shells indicated the target for the air force to strike.

The bombers of the Xinjing Air Force dropped bombs on the Japanese military convoys one after another.

The convoy that attempted to use the cover of night to transport supplies to the Japanese army in Hailin County was attacked by the Devil Force Air Force.

The Korean division commander of Hailin County ignored all this and repeatedly urged Commander Meijin Michiro to replenish their ammunition and supplies. He was ready for a protracted war.

The Japanese commander in Mudanjiang was extremely anxious after receiving a telegram from Commander Umezu Michijiro.

All the trucks they could mobilize were blown up by the Devil Force's air force. How could they transport the supplies stored in Dongning County?

The chief of staff advised General Takeda to requisition horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts to transport supplies. Otherwise, if they delayed the battle in Hailin County, the commander would not let them off easily.

General Takeda nodded. At this point, he had no better solution.

On this day, both armies made no progress and stopped fighting, facing each other across the city wall.

The three city gates of Hailin County have not been opened for two days, which has caused great inconvenience to the people.

At night, the soldiers of the 7th and 17th Brigades were on high alert, guarding against a surprise attack by the Japanese army. However, the Japanese army did not launch an attack until dawn.

Leng Feng has been following the progress of the battle in Hailin County. Up to now, the battle has not only relied on the will of the soldiers, but also the logistical supplies of the troops.

He arranged for scouts to sneak in through the north gate of Hailin County and use golden eagles to keep an eye on the Japanese transport convoy day and night. If there was any movement, he would immediately call in the air force to bomb it.

Their air force had tightly controlled the Japanese supply lines. Although some of the Japanese occasionally slipped through their air blockade, this amount of supply was only a drop in the bucket for the intense fighting at the three city gates throughout the entire day.

The Japanese army also suspected that scouts from the Devil Force had infiltrated, and arranged for soldiers to search back and forth along their transportation lines several times, but nothing was found.

At this time, an army scout was hiding in the distance, operating a golden eagle to observe all this.

The most direct and quick way for intelligence officers in the city to contact troops outside the city is to use radio.

So the Japanese army arranged a telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle along the transportation line and searched carefully along the way.

Before the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle reached the scout, an air-to-ground missile whizzed over and turned the telecommunications reconnaissance vehicle into a pile of scrap metal.

This left the head of the Japanese Special High Technology Department stunned, but he was helpless.

On the First Army side, the logistics department mobilized trucks and a large number of ox carts and horse carts, and under the protection of the soldiers, continuously transported supplies to the frontline soldiers of the Seventh and Seventeenth Brigades.

Seeing that the Devil Force's air force had blocked the Japanese army's transportation lines in Hailin County, Commander Umezu Michijiro also set his sights on the Devil Force's transportation lines.
