Devil's Army

Chapter 1788: Blocking the Japanese Army in Zhengzhou 2

The four Japanese armored vehicles braked and turned their guns, ready to suppress the firepower of the devil troops on the hillside.

At this moment, four rockets with flames on their tails came roaring in and hit four armored vehicles, two of which were immediately blown off the tracks.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the five armored vehicles behind the Japanese army quickly retreated.

The Japanese soldiers in the military train fired upwards at the devilish troops on the hillside through the windows and gates, and were in a very passive position.

The soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Regiments on the hillside continued to suppress the Japanese troops in the military column with firepower.

The mortar and rocket troops of the 3rd and 4th Regiments continued to bombard the Japanese military trains on the railway tracks.

The Japanese soldiers in the military train suffered heavy casualties and had to abandon the train and retreat towards Zhengzhou.

The soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Regiments, who were ambushed in the valley and mountains on the north side of the Yiluo River, responded to the Japanese retreat with even more fierce bullets.

The Yanshi railway section was littered with the bodies of Japanese soldiers.

When the remaining five Japanese armored vehicles fled to the Xingyang to Gongyi section of the road, they found that the tracks in front had been removed by the devil troops.

The railway on which they retreated to Zhengzhou was blocked.

At this time, the soldiers of the first and second companies of the first battalion of the first regiment of the third brigade, who were ambushed on both sides of the railway tracks, quickly launched a charge towards the five armored vehicles.

In order to capture these five armored vehicles for future use in retaking Zhengzhou, the regimental commander did not use rocket soldiers.

The Japanese armored vehicles hurriedly fired at the soldiers of the Devil Unit, but the soldiers of the first and second companies quickly rushed to the side of the railway tracks, jumped onto the armored vehicles, and shot at the Japanese soldiers inside.

After capturing the five armored vehicles, some soldiers quickly jumped into the armored vehicles, turned the machine guns and aimed them towards Yanshi.

The remaining soldiers quickly set up an ambush again.

After a while, the fleeing Japanese army appeared on both sides of the railway tracks.

They were very surprised. Why didn't the armored vehicles in front continue to retreat?

Before they could figure out the reason, five armored vehicles fiercely fired at the fleeing Japanese military train.

The Japanese troops who fled the fastest fell one after another like harvested rice ears.

At this time, soldiers from the first and second regiments, who were ambushing on both sides of the railway tracks, fired fiercely at the Japanese troops on the tracks.

Mortar shells and rockets also hit the Japanese soldiers on the railway tracks one after another.

The morale of the Japanese troops in Zhengzhou, who had been ambushed repeatedly, had reached an extremely low point. They had no intention of fighting anymore and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, trying to break out in all directions.

The soldiers of the first and second regiments launched a final charge against the fleeing Japanese troops and launched a sheep-catching encirclement and suppression campaign.

After less than an hour of fierce fighting and more than an hour of encirclement and suppression, most of the Japanese troops reinforcing the Luoyang Longhai Railway Line were annihilated and a small number were captured.

Since the number of Japanese soldiers captured this time was relatively large, Brigadier General Li did not execute them, but temporarily detained them in Xingyang.

After preparing to deal with the Japanese troops in Zhengzhou, they took them all to Jiaozuo and went down to the mines to dig coal together with the captured Japanese and puppet troops in Jiaozuo.

Shortly after the battle on the Longhai Railway Line began, the battle on the Zhengluo Highway also began.

When they were in the canyon section of Gongyi section of the northern line of Zhengluo Highway, they encountered stubborn resistance from the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade.

The ambush position chosen by the regimental commander was in a rather tricky location, just uphill with a 45-degree turn.

The Japanese convoys slowed down when they arrived here, but were ambushed by a group of soldiers in the canyon mountains.

The Japanese tried to call for artillery reinforcements, but to their dismay, the artillery had no way of attacking the Devil's troops' positions behind the corner of the mountain.
