Devil's Army

Chapter 1813 Recapture of Chuzhou City

The captain of the Japanese guard team attacked twice but failed to break through the Hongshankou defense line, so he ordered a retreat.

When Captain Chen saw that the Japanese army was about to escape, he immediately ordered his soldiers to attack.

The soldiers of the first company of the fourth battalion rushed towards the retreating Japanese troops like tigers descending from the mountains.

As soon as the Japanese transport team escaped from Hongshankou, they were bombarded with heavy machine gun bullets.

When the Japanese transport team entered Hongshankou, the soldiers of the first company of the third battalion had quietly completed the encirclement.

The Japanese transport team was attacked from both sides and was completely wiped out after resisting for half an hour.

All the supplies of the Japanese transport team were also donated to the First Army.

The Japanese troops at Hongshankou heard the fierce gunfire coming from the mountain pass and guessed that their transport team had been intercepted by the devil troops. They quickly reported the situation to the headquarters and requested that another transport team be sent to deliver supplies for them.

But this was no longer possible, as the Japanese troops in Chuzhou City could hardly protect themselves.

The Second Regiment of the Fifth Brigade was divided into two groups and was attacking the west gate and north gate of Chuzhou.

The Second Regiment's attack was fierce from the start, with mortars and small mountain guns providing cover fire, destroying the Japanese fortifications on the Chuzhou city wall.

Under the cover of machine guns and rocket soldiers, the infantry launched an attack on the Japanese city gate.

The Japanese army in southern Anhui had just launched an attack on the Devil Army in northern Anhui, but they did not expect the Devil Army's retaliation to come so quickly. The Japanese army in Chuzhou was short of manpower.

The commander quickly mobilized troops from the surrounding towns and villages to provide support.

The First Army Air Force, which had just arrived at Dangshan Airport, had no time to rest and arranged a squadron to provide support.

The Japanese army in Chuzhou City had been doing its best to resist the attack of the Devil Force. Now it was bombed by the Devil Force's air force, and the west gate defense line was finally broken.

Soldiers from the first and second battalions of the second regiment rushed into Chuzhou City through the collapsed city wall.

At this time, the First Army Air Force, which was carrying out an air raid mission in the air, discovered the Japanese troops who were rushing to reinforce from the south.

The Dangshan Airport Air Force immediately dived and launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese reinforcement convoy.

The Japanese soldiers jumped out of their cars and fled to avoid the air raid of the Devil Force Air Force.

On the small road, the Japanese army's convoy was blocked by the bombed cars, and its advance and retreat were blocked.

The aviation force at Dangshan Airport conducted bombing training on the Japanese convoy parked on the road, just like target practice.

Shortly after their brother units broke through the west gate of Chuzhou City, soldiers from the third and fourth battalions of the second regiment also broke through the north gate of Chuzhou City.

The Japanese army took turns covering their retreat, attempting to organize a second line of defense in the city.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment rushed and attacked fiercely, and the rocket soldiers kept attacking the machine gun fire points of the Japanese rear-end troops.

The Japanese army was never able to organize a second line of defense in the city.

Under the fierce attack of the four battalions of the second regiment, the Japanese troops in Chuzhou fled to Chaohu City from the south gate.

At that time, Chaohu City had not been completely occupied, and some areas were guerrilla zones of the New Fourth Army.

The 28th Red Army and the Red Army guerrillas in the Tongbai Mountain area were reorganized into the 4th Detachment of the New Fourth Army and fought in Tongcheng, Shucheng, Lujiang, Wuhu, Chaoxian and other places.

When the First Army was attacking Chuzhou City, part of the Ninth Regiment of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army was operating in the area around Jiangjiahekou in Yinping Town, Chaohu City.

When they heard the news from the courier that an army was attacking Chuzhou City, they immediately moved towards Chuzhou, looking for opportunities to fight and destroy the Japanese army.

Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered Chuzhou, we encountered the fleeing Japanese reinforcements.

The 9th Regiment of the 4th Detachment of the New Fourth Army had no time to build a defense line and immediately engaged in battle.
