Devil's Army

Chapter 1894 Breaking Through the Japanese Defense Line at Guangcai Mountain

The next morning, the soldiers of the Third Regiment continued their fierce attack on the Japanese positions on Guangcai Mountain.

The Japanese troops on Guangcai Mountain held out for a while, then panicked, because their retreat had been blocked by a devilish unit of soldiers.

It turned out that the Third Regiment Commander had arranged for the First Battalion to bypass Chengjiawan with light equipment, thus blocking the retreat route of the Japanese troops in Guangcaishan.

The Third Regiment Commander knew that the Japanese army's retreat route on Guangcai Mountain was blocked, and that the Japanese army in Zhejiang would definitely come to reinforce them.

Lacking heavy weapons, their battalion would certainly have a hard time withstanding the heavy siege of the Japanese army in Zhejiang.

He immediately requested air support, asking them to bomb the Japanese reinforcements in Zhejiang to slow down their advance to the Japanese forces in Guangcai Mountain.

In addition, the troops were ordered to take advantage of the Japanese forces' two-pronged attack at Guangcai Mountain and intensify their offensive to open up the Guangcai Mountain passage as soon as possible.

The Japanese lieutenant defending the Guangcaishan position was caught off guard by the sudden attack from the rear by the battalion of the 3rd Regiment.

He quickly mobilized troops to the west of Guangcai Mountain to block the attack of the devilish army.

Meanwhile, the devilish troops east of Guangcai Mountain intensified their attack.

He had no choice but to order his troops to hold Guangcai Mountain and block the devilish troops' attack, while simultaneously requesting reinforcements from his commander.

The Japanese major stationed in Yushan County was shocked to hear that Guangcai Mountain had been besieged.

He didn't know how the devil troops would bypass and break through Guangcai Mountain's defenses, but he still sent troops to reinforce them.

Because the devil troops have broken through the Guangcai Mountain defense line, they will soon be able to reach the outskirts of their Yushan County.

The reinforcements sent by the major did not have a smooth journey.

They had barely left Yushan County when they were subjected to fierce bombing and strafing by the devilish air force. All the trucks carrying the reinforcements were destroyed.

The troops were also thrown into disarray, scattering to avoid air raids.

Meanwhile, the Japanese troops on Guangcai Mountain faced an unprecedented crisis, as they were attacked from both the east and west by the devilish troops.

The 3rd Regiment Commander transferred the machine gunners and rocket soldiers of the 4th Battalion and the 4th Battalion of the 4th Regiment to the front line.

Machine guns continuously suppressed the Japanese firepower on the position, while rocket troops continuously destroyed the Japanese machine gun positions and firing bunkers.

The Japanese lieutenant kept promising his soldiers that reinforcements would arrive soon.

The Japanese troops on the position were like desperate criminals, fiercely firing at the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments who were attacking.

However, the two battalion commanders of the Third and Fourth Regiments, who were on the offensive, completely disregarded casualties.

As the soldiers in front fell to the ground after being shot, the soldiers behind immediately rushed forward to continue the attack on the Japanese army.

Under the relentless attacks of the Third and Fourth Regiments, the Japanese positions on Guangcai Mountain were finally breached.

The Japanese lieutenant ordered his soldiers to fight back against the devilish troops who had charged onto the position.

However, by this time, most of the veteran Japanese soldiers who were skilled in bayonet fighting had been killed in action, and many of the current Japanese soldiers were new recruits whose bayonet fighting skills were nowhere near those of the veterans.

After years of fighting, the Southern Independent Division of the First Army had greatly improved its bayonet fighting skills.

With the tides turning and the tides shifting, the Japanese army had no advantage whatsoever in hand-to-hand combat.

Before long, all the Japanese troops on the Guangcai Mountain position were wiped out.

Having breached the Guangcai Mountain position, the Third Regiment Commander immediately led the soldiers of the Third and Fourth Regiments on a forced march to reinforce the troops west of Guangcai Mountain.

At this time, the Japanese reinforcements from Yushan County had not yet reached the Guangcaishan position due to their constant air raids.

The third regimental commander decided to annihilate this Japanese force outside Yushan County.
