Devil's Army

Chapter 1895 Encirclement and Suppression of Japanese Reinforcements in Yushan County

Upon receiving the order, the commander of the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment led his soldiers to quietly advance along the woods on the left side of the path, setting up an encirclement in front of Guangcai Mountain.

Soldiers from the Fourth Battalion of the Fourth Regiment quietly advanced along the woods on the right side of the path, setting up an encirclement in front of Guangcai Mountain.

Because the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments launched a fierce and rapid attack on the Japanese troops on the Guangcaishan position, the lieutenant did not have time to report their situation to the commander.

The Japanese reinforcements, believing the Guangcaishan position was in their hands, went through great lengths to break through the bombing raids of the devilish air force and rush to their aid.

Japanese troops from Yushan County broke through their air force's blockade and rushed to reinforce them. However, they were met with fierce resistance from the 3rd Battalion on the western side of Guangcai Mountain.

The soldiers of the 4th Battalion of the 3rd Regiment and the 4th Battalion of the 4th Regiment, who were in the ambush, remained still and quietly watched the Japanese troops in the ambush area.

The intense gunfire attracted more Japanese troops into the encirclement.

As most of the Japanese reinforcements from Yushan County entered the encirclement, the commander of the Third Regiment prepared to order an attack.

At this moment, the battalion commander of the third regiment quietly called out to the regimental commander.

He pointed to a group of Japanese soldiers a little further away.

The third regimental commander lay down and took a look through the binoculars.

Good heavens, the Japanese artillery is setting up artillery positions. If they break out of contact with the Japanese troops in the encirclement, they will be sitting ducks for the Japanese artillery.

"Commander, I'll take a company to take out the Japanese artillery positions."

"The Japanese artillery positions are heavily defended. Take two companies and go there. We will launch an attack on the Japanese troops in the encirclement in ten minutes. You can manage the timing yourself."

"Yes"

After the fourth battalion commander responded quietly, he called the first and second companies to go with him to take down the Japanese artillery positions.

Ten minutes later, the commander of the third regiment gave the signal to attack.

Soldiers from the Third and Fourth Regiments outside the encirclement launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops inside the encirclement.

The Japanese commander, unaware that the devilish troops had flanked them from both sides, hurriedly organized a resistance.

The Japanese artillery quickly adjusted their firing parameters, preparing to bombard the frontal defenses of the devilish troops in order to open a passage for the besieged forces.

Japanese artillerymen stood beside their cannons, ready for battle.

Japanese artillery signalmen waved red and white flags, preparing to give the order to fire.

Suddenly, the battalion commander of the fourth battalion led the first and second companies to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese artillery positions from both flanks, disrupting the Japanese artillery's deployment.

The Japanese commander was taken aback when he heard the intense gunfire and explosions coming from the artillery positions.

If their artillery positions were destroyed by the devilish troops, it would be a pipe dream to quickly rescue the besieged Japanese troops.

He immediately ordered the infantry that had not yet been surrounded by the devil's troops to return to the artillery positions.

The fourth battalion commander organized his troops to block the Japanese reinforcements on one hand, and on the other hand, he intensified the attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

Under the fierce attack of the Fourth Battalion soldiers, a gap was torn in the defensive line of the Japanese artillery position.

The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion continued their attack on the Japanese troops on both flanks of the breach, and the follow-up troops of the Fourth Battalion successively rushed into the Japanese artillery positions through the breach.

Although the Japanese artillerymen on the artillery positions immediately put down their shells, picked up their rifles, and engaged in fierce combat with the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, their fighting ability was truly lacking, and they were all brought down by the fierce attacks of the Fourth Battalion soldiers.

After the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion occupied the Japanese artillery positions, several artillerymen who came with the Fourth Battalion Commander immediately lowered their guns and fiercely bombarded the Japanese troops in the encirclement.
