Devil's Army

Chapter 1422: Counterattack on the Japanese Army at Night

The rocket soldiers of the Second Battalion took advantage of the fact that the Japanese were suppressed by their machine gun fire and quickly retreated.

The Japanese army failed to launch a surprise attack and turned to a strong attack, but they had no way to break through the defense line of the Second Battalion and had to retreat in disgrace.

Although the Japanese army's sneak attack did not break through the defense line of the regiment, their Fourth Brigade had always been the only one to attack the Japanese army at night, and had never been attacked by the Japanese army at night.

This made Captain Hu very angry, and he immediately decided to retaliate against this Japanese army.

He ordered the third and fourth companies, which served as the reserve, to follow the retreating Japanese troops, with the artillery following closely behind.

As the Japanese army retreated to the camp in dejection, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out behind them.

The third company launched a fierce attack on the Japanese camp from behind.

The Japanese troops in the camp rushed over to stop the attack of the third company.

The soldiers of the third company, who had just rushed into the Japanese camp, were heavily blocked by the Japanese army.

The third company commander led his soldiers in launching a fierce attack on the Japanese army's left wing, where the defense was relatively weak.

Seeing that the third company was about to break through the Japanese defense, the Japanese army quickly dispatched troops from the middle to reinforce.

As more and more Japanese troops arrived, the third company's attack momentum became weaker and weaker.

The third company commander decisively ordered the soldiers to take turns to cover the retreat.

The Japanese troops kept a close eye on the third company.

When the Japanese army was chasing the Third Company to a corner, they were suddenly attacked fiercely by the Fourth Company of the Second Battalion.

At this time, the third company also launched a fierce counterattack.

The Japanese pursuit troops suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese army then regrouped and gathered its forces again to prepare to encircle the third and fourth companies.

Suddenly, a series of small mountain artillery shells whizzed towards the place where the Japanese troops were assembled.

The Japanese army, which had just suffered heavy losses, was once again subjected to fierce bombardment by the Second Battalion's artillery.

The artillery of the Second Battalion bombarded the Japanese troops continuously for 15 minutes and then quickly retreated.

When the Japanese commander heard the fierce artillery explosions on the front line, he quickly dispatched his artillery forward to provide support.

After a while, the Japanese artillery shells covered the artillery positions of the Second Battalion.

The Japanese artillery stopped firing, and the Japanese infantry quickly chased after the soldiers of the Second Battalion, but at this time there was no trace of the soldiers of the Second Battalion.

Fearing an ambush, the Japanese army did not continue the pursuit but withdrew to the barracks and stepped up patrols.

The Japanese army's night attack on the Second Battalion not only failed to gain any advantage, but was instead met with counterattacks from the Second Battalion's infantry and bombardment from its artillery, resulting in heavy casualties.

The next day, the Japanese army was on high alert to prevent the devil's troops from attacking them.

However, Captain Hu did not launch an attack on the Japanese army. Instead, he followed the orders of Brigade Commander Wang to clear out the Japanese and puppet army strongholds in the recovered area and strengthen public security in the recovered area.

In order to strengthen the control over Northeast China and fight a decisive battle with the devil's First Front Army, Commander Michijiro Umezu transferred two divisions from Korea to Harbin.

Leng Feng received the news from Secretary Li and prepared to dispatch a brigade from the newly established 19th Brigade, 20th Brigade, 21st Brigade, and 22nd Brigade to provide support.

After discussing with the commander of the 7th Brigade, Wang Zhuangfei believed that there were currently one and a half brigades of troops concentrated in the Harbin direction, and the Xinjing Airport was close at hand, which could provide them with timely air force support. He rejected Leng Feng's suggestion.

In this way, Leng Feng could deploy troops to the battlefield in Rehe Province which was fighting with the Japanese Kwantung Army, and to the battlefields in Peking, Tianjin, western Hebei, northern Hebei, southern Hebei, and central Hebei which were fighting with the Japanese China Expeditionary Army in central China.
