Devil's Army

Chapter 1859 Racing Against the Mechanized Japanese Army

The regimental commander, who was pursuing the Japanese troops in Ruichang, suddenly received a telegram from his brigade commander:

The other three units of the Southern Independent Division are attacking Japanese and puppet army strongholds on the outskirts of Nanchang. They were ordered to have one of their armies find a way to contain this Japanese force.

The regimental commander ordered the vanguard to advance lightly equipped and race against the mechanized Japanese army, aiming to capture the Da'naoshan position to the west before the Japanese army could complete its fortifications.

Soon, the fleeing Japanese troops in Ruichang were caught up by the vanguard of the First Regiment.

They hadn't expected the demon army to march so fast, and they scattered and fled to both sides. To their relief, however, the demon army didn't pursue them, but instead continued their rapid advance.

Just as the Japanese troops breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the devilish troops had not discovered them, the follow-up troops of the 1st Regiment arrived and launched an attack on them.

After a fierce battle, most of the Japanese troops in Ruichang were killed.

Meanwhile, the vanguard of the regiment rushed to Danaoshan, where Japanese engineers and soldiers were digging trenches and building fortifications.

The Japanese soldiers on guard spotted the vanguard of a regiment that was marching rapidly and immediately opened fire to intercept them.

The vanguard immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

The Japanese guard units could not withstand the attack.

Upon hearing the gunfire, the Japanese soldiers who were building fortifications hurriedly picked up their weapons to fight back.

The vanguard of the regiment launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops at the Da'naoshan position and quickly stormed up the position.

The Japanese troops, who were encamped at the foot of Mount Danao, were unwilling to accept defeat and immediately organized a counterattack.

The vanguard of the regiment, relying on the half-built fortifications of the Japanese army, stubbornly resisted the Japanese army's attack.

The Japanese army deployed artillery and bombarded the positions on Da'nao Mountain.

The major saw that the Da'naoshan position had been riddled with holes by their artillery, but when the Japanese infantry launched an attack on the Da'naoshan position, the devilish soldiers who appeared out of nowhere stubbornly blocked their attack.

In order to stop the devilish troops from entering Jiujiang from the direction of Danaoshan and attacking Nanchang, the major went mad.

He ordered the infantry to charge while the artillery was still bombarding them.

This tactic was indeed vicious. One advance unit was pinned down by Japanese artillery fire and unable to raise its head; the Japanese had already reached them.

A vanguard unit desperately threw grenades at the Japanese troops.

Japanese soldiers approaching the Da'naoshan position were blown away by grenades. Those who escaped were also taken down by the advance troops of a regiment.

But the Japanese army seemed to have an endless supply; after eliminating the Japanese troops in front, more Japanese troops would rush up.

Just as the position on Danaoshan was in imminent danger, a series of mortar shells came from behind a vanguard unit.

Japanese reinforcements continued to have soldiers blown away by mortar shells.

The Japanese troops that rushed to the front of the Da'naoshan position were weakened by a lack of follow-up strength and were repelled by the vanguard of a regiment.

Before the Japanese reinforcements could arrive, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment arrived.

The machine guns of the First Battalion fiercely swept the attacking Japanese troops, while the mortars and rocket troops of the First Battalion fiercely bombarded the follow-up Japanese troops.

Immediately afterwards, the main force of the regiment crossed the position of the first battalion and launched a counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops in front.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the front were unable to withstand the fierce attack of the main force of the regiment and retreated towards Jiujiang County under alternating cover.

At this moment, a fighter jet and two bombers from the army also arrived to provide support, launching a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the retreating Japanese troops.
