Devil's Army

Chapter 1865 Annihilating Japanese Reinforcements in Xinjian County

At this time, the commander of the Second Regiment of the First Army was organizing his troops to block and break out of the Japanese encirclement, and had no troops to support the Third Battalion.

The Third Battalion, with less than half its remaining strength, stubbornly resisted the Japanese army's attack on Xinjian County.

At this time, the Japanese army in Xinjian County also sent reinforcements to come and help, but they were met with fierce resistance from the Fourth Regiment.

The besieged Japanese troops had no choice but to intensify their attack on the Third Battalion's position.

If they can break through the Third Battalion's position, they can join up with the Japanese troops in Jiujiang County.

Knowing that the reinforcements from Xinjian County were in danger, the Japanese troops in Jiujiang County also sent reinforcements to help them.

The Third Battalion was attacked from both sides by superior Japanese forces from Jiujiang County and Xinjian County. The unit was likely to be completely annihilated.

The battalion commander knew this was not the time to act like a hero. Faced with overwhelming strength, he had no way to withstand the attack of two superior Japanese forces.

He immediately sent a telegram to the second regimental commander requesting assistance.

At this time, the main force of the Second Regiment was preparing to annihilate the Japanese reinforcements in Xingzi County.

The main force of the regiment is blocking the Japanese army in De'an at Wanjialing and is preparing to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in De'an County.

The second regimental commander knew that the third battalion commander would never ask him to send reinforcements unless he was forced to, so the situation must have reached a critical juncture.

But now that an encirclement is forming, it has no troops to send.

Helpless, he could only draw troops directly under the regiment from the main force to rush over and send a telegram to the air force for support.

Soon after, four fighter planes from the Nanxiong Air Force of the First Army arrived over Jiujiang County and launched a fierce strafing and bombing attack on the Japanese troops in Jiujiang County, disrupting their deployment.

While the Nanxiong Air Force was bombing the Japanese troops in Jiujiang County, a fighter plane and a bomber were also bombing the Japanese troops attacking Xinjian County.

At the same time, the Third Regiment intensified its efforts to encircle and suppress the Japanese troops in Xinjian County.

The Japanese army's fierce offensive in Jiujiang County was disrupted by air power. However, the Japanese reinforcements in Xinjian County were in imminent danger due to the fierce attack of the Third Regiment and the tenacious resistance of the Third Battalion.

The Japanese troops in Jiujiang County had no choice but to launch another fierce attack on the Third Battalion from the rear, despite being bombed by the First Army Air Force.

At the critical moment, the Second Regiment's directly subordinate troops, drenched in sweat, arrived and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in Jiujiang County from the flank.

Meanwhile, the Third Regiment dispatched a battalion to bypass the Japanese positions in Xinjian County from Jinjiashan and attack the Japanese forces in Jiujiang County from the other side to reinforce the Third Battalion.

Fearing encirclement and annihilation by the devilish troops, the Japanese reinforcements in Jiujiang County retreated back into Jiujiang County.

The 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment then crossed the Jin Guan Bridge and launched an attack on the Japanese troops in Xinjian County from the front.

Under the combined attack of three regiments from two sides and the bombing by air force, the Japanese reinforcements in Xinjian County could not withstand the onslaught and began to break out separately.

To prevent this group of Japanese troops from escaping back to Xinjian County and increasing the resistance to their recapture of Xinjian County.

The Fourth Regiment also deployed three battalions to participate in the search and encirclement of the fleeing Japanese troops in Xinjian County.

After half a day of fierce fighting, most of the Japanese reinforcements in Xinjian County were annihilated.

The Third Regiment began to detour, preparing to encircle the Japanese and puppet troops who were coming from Xinjian County to provide reinforcements.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Xinjian County, who were making every effort to break through the defense line of the Fourth Regiment, realized that the devilish troops were preparing to encircle them.

They also knew that the reinforcements sent to support Jiujiang County had been defeated.

To avoid being surrounded and annihilated, the Japanese commander in Xinjian County ordered them to retreat back into Xinjian County.

When the Third Regiment arrived at the rear of the Japanese troops in Xinjian County, the Japanese troops had already retreated back into Xinjian County.
