Chapter 2143 Recapture of Tumen County
Seeing that the fourth battalion commander was hesitant to speak, the second regimental commander anxiously asked:
"What's the matter?"
"The Japanese have been launching continuous attacks on us these past few days. The brothers haven't slept for several days and are really tired."
"Oh, First Battalion Commander, you'll be leading your troops to relieve the Fourth Battalion Commander," the Second Regiment Commander replied with a smile.
Just as the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 15th Brigade had finished their shift change with the soldiers of the 7th Brigade, the Japanese troops, who had surrounded them from all sides, launched a fierce attack on the Ma'anshan Fortress.
During a break in commanding the battle, the second regimental commander glanced back and saw the fourth battalion commander and his soldiers fast asleep amidst the sounds of gunfire and explosions.
The second regimental commander was directing the battle when he suddenly heard the fourth battalion commander's battle shouts coming from behind him:
"Charge! Kill! Kill these Japanese devils!"
The second regimental commander was startled, thinking that Japanese soldiers had appeared behind him.
But when he turned around, he saw that the fourth battalion commander was still fast asleep, pointing ahead and shouting.
The company commander chuckled to himself and said:
"The Fourth Battalion Commander is really dedicated; he doesn't even forget to kill Japanese devils in his dreams!"
The company commander's words drew laughter from the soldiers.
With the arrival of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, it became even more difficult for the Japanese army to capture the Ma'anshan Fortress.
Meanwhile, the 15th Brigade Commander was leading a regiment in a fierce attack on the Japanese defenses in Tumen County.
At Tumen Port, the Dalian fleet has already docked.
The 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 15th Brigade have completed their assembly and are rapidly advancing towards Tumen County.
In order to prevent the 1st Regiment of the 15th Brigade from breaking through their defenses, the division commander also arranged for the 2nd Battalion of Yanji County to go and reinforce them.
The Japanese 2nd Battalion, which rushed to reinforce the troops, unexpectedly encountered the 3rd Regiment of the 15th Brigade, which was flanking from the side, and the two sides immediately engaged in fierce fighting.
Meanwhile, the 4th Regiment of the 15th Brigade has successfully outflanked the right flank of the Japanese army in Tumen County and is now advancing rapidly towards the center of the Japanese forces in Tumen County.
Upon seeing this, the regimental commander led his soldiers in a fierce attack and captured the Japanese positions in Tumen County.
The Japanese rearguard in Tumen County had no choice but to retreat into the county, attempting to hold out and await reinforcements.
The fourth regimental commander led his soldiers in hot pursuit, giving the Japanese army no chance to catch their breath.
Just as the Japanese army was about to close the city gates and block the Fourth Regiment's entry into the city, the Fourth Regiment's rocket troops blew open the city gates with two consecutive shots.
The soldiers of the Fourth Regiment charged into the city with shouts and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.
After annihilating the vanguard of the Japanese army in Tumen County, the regiment rushed into the city to participate in the battle to wipe out the Japanese army in Tumen County.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, all the Japanese troops in Tumen County were wiped out by the 1st and 4th Regiments of the 15th Brigade.
Meanwhile, on the left flank, the 3rd Regiment of the 15th Brigade was still engaged in fierce fighting with the Japanese army in Yanji County.
After the 1st and 4th Regiments of the 15th Brigade dealt with the Japanese troops in Tumen County, they also flanked the Japanese troops from both sides, attempting to annihilate the Japanese troops in Yanji County.
By this time, the Japanese troops in Yanji County already knew that the Japanese troops in Tumen County had been completely wiped out, and they had no will to fight, so they fought and retreated.
The soldiers of the Third Regiment pursued relentlessly, chasing the enemy all the way to the outskirts of Yanji County.
The roads were rugged and riddled with craters from bombings.
The heavy artillery units of the 15th Brigade were temporarily unable to keep up.
The Third Regiment then surrounded Yanji County, cutting off the connection between the Japanese troops in Yanji County and the Japanese troops in Hunchun County.
The 1st and 4th Regiments of the 15th Brigade turned around and advanced towards the west and south gates of Hunchun County, respectively.
The battle between the Japanese army in Longjing County and the Ma'anshan Fortress was in full swing when a sentry reported that the main force of the Ximen Devil Unit had attacked.
The Japanese battalion commander, enraged, kicked him and cursed:
"Idiot, they can't even hold off two battalions of the Demon Army?"
