Devil's Army

Chapter 1861 Breakthrough at the Left Wing of Xiao'ao in Nanyi Town

As soon as the bombers arrived, they immediately began bombing the Japanese artillery positions.

The fighter jets of the First Army immediately began strafing the Japanese troops in the trenches.

Seeing that the vanguard of the 1st Battalion was stalled, the 2nd Regiment Commander immediately ordered the follow-up troops to speed up their advance and rush to reinforce them.

Despite being strafed by fighter planes, the Japanese troops continued to throw grenades and grenade launcher shells at the attacking battalion.

The fierce attack by the First Battalion was thwarted by the tenacious resistance of the Japanese troops in Xiao'ao, Nanyi Town.

The battalion commander was also hit by several bullets and was carried back by the soldiers.

That night, the second regimental commander wanted to arrange a raid on the Japanese positions. However, after reconnaissance, he found that the Japanese defenses were very strong, so he had to give up the idea.

Who knew that the Second Regiment Commander's plan to launch a surprise attack was abandoned, but the Japanese army, which was not good at night fighting, sent troops to launch a surprise attack.

The Japanese attack was spotted by the sentries of the 2nd Regiment before it even began.

The second regimental commander did not make a sound, but ordered his troops to withdraw from the command post and set up an ambush on the perimeter.

A Japanese suicide squad successfully reached the Second Regiment's command post.

The Japanese commando captain was overjoyed, knowing they could successfully complete their mission, and immediately ordered his soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the command post.

As soon as the Japanese suicide squad fired their guns, fierce gunfire erupted all around the command post.

Hand grenades exploded around the Japanese suicide squad like rain.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, all but 13 of the more than 100 Japanese suicide squad members were killed.

To ensure the success of the plan, the major equipped the Japanese suicide squad with a large number of machine guns.

The complete annihilation of the Japanese suicide squad significantly increased the machine gun firepower of the Second Regiment, and also caused considerable losses to the Japanese forces in Xiao'ao, Nanyi Town, who had machine gun firepower.

Before annihilating the Japanese suicide squad, the second regimental commander arranged for a unit to secretly ambush near Xiao'ao in Nanyi Town.

At dawn the next day, before it was fully light, the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment launched a fierce attack on the Japanese position at Xiao'ao.

Soldiers from the 3rd and 4th Companies of the 1st Battalion, who were lying in ambush on both sides of the small pass in Nanyi Town at night, took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army's attention was drawn to the 2nd Battalion in front and quietly sneaked towards the small pass.

Before the Third and Fourth Companies could climb up the small pass of Nanyi Town, they were discovered by the Japanese troops on guard on both flanks.

The third and fourth company commanders immediately changed their strategy from a sneak attack to a full-scale assault, leading their soldiers in a fierce attack on Xiao'ao in Nanyi Town.

The Japanese army hastily mobilized troops from the front to reinforce the defenses on both flanks.

The Second Regiment Commander's three-pronged attack entered a stalemate with the Japanese army, but the Third and Fourth Companies on the flanks were closer to the Japanese positions and could break through at any time.

Seeing this, the second regimental commander ordered the third battalion commander to lead his battalion to reinforce the third and fourth companies on both flanks.

With the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the pressure on the Third and Fourth Companies increased significantly.

The company commanders of the third and fourth companies had already heard the shouts of their brethren behind them, ordering them to hold their positions and fight to the death.

The rocket troops of the Third Battalion arrived later and destroyed the last remaining Japanese machine gun positions one after another.

Soldiers from the First and Third Battalions leaped up and, with the support of the rocket troops, launched an assault on the Japanese positions.

Soldiers from the First and Third Battalions successively charged onto the Japanese positions on both flanks of Xiao'ao.

The Japanese troops on the left flank unloaded their bullets, attempting to use bayonets to fight off the charging devilish troops.

To their surprise, the devilish troops suddenly retreated a few steps and then violently threw grenades into the trenches.

The violent grenade explosions sent the Japanese soldiers in the trenches flying back to the island nation.

The soldiers of the First and Third Battalions occupied the left flank of Xiao'ao in Nanyi Town and immediately advanced along the trenches towards the frontal position.
