Devil's Army

Chapter 1798: Plan to Take Over Huaibei City

Since Huaibei City was only 40 kilometers away from Suxian County, after the Third Regiment recaptured Suxian County, it left behind a company and the main force immediately attacked Huaibei City.

After the Third Regiment joined the battle, the pressure on the Japanese troops in Huaibei increased.

By this time, the Japanese commander in Huaibei had learned that Suxian had fallen, so for safety reasons he ordered his troops to withdraw to Huaibei.

Shortly after the Japanese troops in Huaibei retreated, soldiers from the Third Regiment chased them from Suxian.

They quickly caught up with the retreating Japanese troops in Huaibei and attacked them from behind.

The Japanese troops in Huaibei took turns providing cover, fighting and retreating.

The First Army's air force flew over and carried out a fierce bombing on the Japanese army's retreat route in Huaibei, blocking the Japanese army's retreat in Huaibei.

Under the fierce bombing of the Devil Force Air Force, the Japanese troops in Huaibei temporarily stopped retreating and looked for a place to avoid air raids.

The commander of the Third Regiment arranged for two companies of soldiers to change into Japanese military uniforms, take a detour and march quickly to the front of the Japanese army in Huaibei.

The soldiers of the two companies of the third regiment hurried forward, regardless of their clothes being torn by branches and thorns, and finally caught up with the Japanese troops in Huaibei.

At this time, the Japanese troops in Huaibei City had already realized that their troops had been defeated and were retreating.

Hearing fierce gunfire behind the retreating Japanese army, he quickly ordered the puppet army to open the city gate.

Soldiers from two companies of the Third Regiment quickly rushed into the city, and the first company immediately fired at the Japanese troops on the city wall, while the second company launched a charge towards the city wall.

The Japanese troops in the Huaibei city wall fortifications were attacked unexpectedly and fell into chaos for a while.

The second company took the opportunity to rush up the city wall, controlled the fortifications on the wall, and turned their guns towards the city.

At this time, the first company also controlled the puppet troops on the city gate and eliminated the Japanese troops at the city gate.

The Japanese commander in Huaibei heard fierce gunfire at the east gate of the city and quickly arranged for a Japanese army to go and investigate.

At this time, he found that the gunfire at the east gate of Huaibei City had stopped. The city gate was still under the control of their imperial soldiers.

The leading lieutenant took several Japanese soldiers to investigate what had just happened.

The soldiers of the first and second companies, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly opened fire.

The Japanese lieutenant was immediately sent back to the island nation.

The Japanese soldiers who had no time to dodge were knocked down one after another by the soldiers of the first and second companies.

The soldiers behind crawled back to the headquarters and reported to the commander.

The company commander took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to advance deep into Huaibei City, occupy some commanding heights, and build simple fortifications to prevent the Japanese army in the city from counterattacking.

At this time, some Huaibei Japanese troops rushed to the east gate of the city. While running into the city, they asked the puppet troops to prepare to close the city gate.

Before these Japanese troops rushed into Huaibei City, gunshots suddenly rang out at the city gate and on the city wall.

Dense bullets swarmed towards the unprepared Japanese troops like locusts.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment who were pursuing the Japanese army heard fierce gunfire coming from the front and launched a fierce attack on the rearguard troops of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese rearguard troops put up a tenacious resistance, their defense line was still broken through by the soldiers of the Third Regiment.

As soon as the soldiers of the Third Regiment broke through the defense line of the Japanese rearguard troops, they continued to pursue and attack fiercely, rushing to the city of Huaibei in one fell swoop, and fiercely attacked the Japanese troops blocked at the city of Huaibei from behind.

The Japanese troops in Huaibei were attacked from both sides by three regiments and could not resist, so they fled in all directions.

In order to prevent the fleeing Japanese soldiers from harassing the civilians, the commander of the third regiment ordered the soldiers to disperse and surround them.

For a while, sporadic gunshots and explosions were heard everywhere outside the east gate of Huaibei.
