Devil's Army

Chapter 1875 Recapture of Jiujiang County

The deputy regimental commander has fallen into a coma.

To reduce the impact of the truck's bumps on the deputy commander, Dr. Song stretched out his legs so the deputy commander could rest his head on them.

As the truck was about to enter the military defense zone of the Ji'an Municipal Government, it encountered a group of Japanese soldiers. The two sides then exchanged fire.

The Japanese soldiers set up a machine gun on the roadside in front of the truck and kept firing at the cab.

The truck's windows were shattered, and the truck was also riddled with machine gun fire.

The truck driver bent over, head down, and steered by feel, accelerating forward.

The soldiers on top of the truck cab quickly set up two machine guns, one firing fiercely at the Japanese machine guns and the other at the Japanese soldiers blocking the road ahead.

The Japanese troops were suppressed by the fierce firepower of the soldiers from the trucks and were unable to raise their heads.

By the time they found cover and continued firing, the truck had already sped past them.

The Japanese troops did not dare to continue the pursuit and quickly retreated. This was because once they crossed the bridge, they entered the defense zone of the Nanjing government forces and the elite troops.

Sure enough, as the trucks were driving onto the bridge, a company of soldiers from the First Army at the bridgehead were already searching towards the direction from which the gunfire had begun.

The truck drove for nearly two more hours before safely arriving at the rear field hospital.

The soldiers quickly carried the wounded to the hospital for emergency treatment. But Dr. Song remained seated in the vehicle.

"Dr. Song, what's wrong? Why aren't you getting out of the car?"

A nurse asked Dr. Song with a puzzled look.

"My legs are numb, Xiao Xu, come and help me, I can't walk."

Dr. Song patted his right leg as he crawled toward the carriage door.

With Xiao Xu's help, Dr. Song walked slowly and shakily into the field hospital.

Thanks to the field hospital's race against time and strenuous efforts to save him, the deputy regimental commander was finally pulled back from the brink of death.

Dr. Song and the guard platoon took some medical supplies and hurriedly returned to the front line.

Dr. Song and his team arrived at the front line. The Second Regiment also broke through the defense line at the west gate of Jiujiang County and, together with the First Regiment, launched a fierce and brutal street battle against the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiujiang County.

In order to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops hiding in houses and around street corners, a brigade commander sent out Golden Eagle drones, which had been replenished with ammunition, as the vanguard.

As soon as the golden eagle spotted Japanese or puppet troops inside a house or at a street corner, it would immediately open fire.

Soldiers from the brigade that arrived shortly afterward rushed over and opened fire on the Japanese troops inside the houses or at street corners.

This tactic reduced casualties among soldiers exposed to the Japanese army to some extent.

After nearly a week of fierce street fighting, the soldiers of the First Brigade drove the Japanese and puppet troops out of Jiujiang County. However, this group of Japanese troops was not willing to accept defeat, and they fled to Nanchang, attempting to join forces with the Japanese troops in Nanchang City and continue to resist the attack of the Southern Independent Division.

At this time, the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division was engaged in fierce street fighting with the Japanese and puppet troops in Nanchang.

Upon receiving intelligence from the Golden Eagle, the Second Brigade Commander immediately arranged for the Third Regiment outside Nanchang City to encircle the Japanese and puppet troops.

Fierce fighting soon broke out on the outskirts of Nanchang City.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese troops who had fled from Jiujiang County were basically wiped out. The remaining puppet troops all laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The fighting in Jiujiang County has shifted to managing the battlefield and mopping up the remaining enemy forces.

Dr. Song and a platoon of soldiers also drove a truck to transport medical supplies and critically wounded soldiers back to the rear field hospital.
