Devil's Army

Chapter 1797 Recovering Su County

The Japanese troops who were encircling the paratrooper assembly area soon realized that they had fallen into a trap.

A large force of paratroopers had already attacked their supply warehouse, so they rushed over to provide reinforcements.

The Japanese troops in the city had not yet reached the supply warehouse, and were blocked by a large paratrooper group outside the warehouse.

The Japanese troops in the city took advantage of the fact that the paratroopers of the Devil Unit had no heavy weapons and ordered the mortar soldiers to prepare to bomb the paratroopers' fortifications.

To the surprise of the Japanese commander, before their mortar positions were set up, a small aircraft suddenly swooped down from the sky and strafed them fiercely.

With the limited firepower of the Japanese troops in the city, there was no way to break through the position of the First Paratrooper Battalion.

The captain of the first team left the second paratrooper squadron to block the attack of the Japanese army in the city, and the remaining first and third squadrons followed him to attack the Japanese headquarters.

As they approached the Japanese headquarters, more and more Japanese troops rushed over to block the attack, but they were quickly defeated by the captain and his men.

As they approached the Japanese headquarters, the captain saw that the place had been bombed many times by their air force and many buildings had collapsed.

The Japanese commander was directing the battle in the basement.

The captain of the first battalion still divided his troops into two groups. He led a squadron of paratroopers to fight with the guards of the Japanese command from above.

The captain of the third squadron led their third squadron over the wall and attacked the guards of the Japanese headquarters from the flank.

The Third Regiment, which was engaged in street fighting with the Japanese, heard fierce gunfire coming from the direction of the headquarters and knew that the paratroopers had already engaged the Japanese. They immediately increased their offensive strength and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese.

From time to time, Japanese soldiers pulled the fuse of grenades and rushed out of the houses towards the soldiers of the Third Regiment, launching suicidal attacks.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment also continued to pounce on the Japanese soldiers who had escaped, and died together with them after the grenade exploded.

The battle lasted until after two o'clock in the afternoon. There was no large-scale resistance from the Japanese army in Suxian, only sporadic gunfire remained.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment surrounded the Japanese headquarters from the outside, but at this time the battle at the Japanese headquarters was nearing its end.

The captain has already rushed into the Japanese headquarters with paratroopers and launched a campaign to clear out the remaining Japanese officers in the headquarters.

Seeing that their command center had been lost, the Japanese troops in the city who were attacking the material warehouse had no choice but to withdraw from Suxian with the remaining Japanese troops and rush to Huaibei City.

By around 4 p.m., the Japanese and puppet troops in Suxian County had basically been wiped out.

The independent brigade successfully completed the task assigned by Deputy Commander Tan: it seized a material warehouse set up in Suxian by the Anhui Japanese army in order to prevent the devil troops from moving south.

The Japanese troops in Suxian County did not have a smooth escape to Huaibei City. On the Jinpu Railway and the Sisu Highway, there were enemy troops fighting with the Japanese troops in Huaibei.

When the Japanese commander heard the report from their scouts, his morale was so low that he had no intention of fighting the devil's troops.

He had no choice but to take a shortcut with his large army, through the mountains, through the battle area between the Devil Army and the Japanese army in Huaibei, and rush to Huaibei City.

When the Japanese army in Su County crossed the village roads, in order not to alert the devil troops, they did not harm the villagers in the village, but just passed by the village quietly.

Although the road was uneven at this time, it was still passable.

After entering the forest, the troops found it difficult to move through the dense weeds, thorns, and trees, so they had to clear the way as they went.

However, when the Japanese troops in Suxian County finally arrived in Huaibei City after going through untold hardships and crossing mountains and rivers, they found that the time for them to catch their breath was gone and greater danger was waiting for them.
