Devil's Army

Chapter 1586 Recapture of Suihua City

After the First Battalion of the Second Regiment joined forces with the Second Battalion of the First Regiment, the First Battalion Commander learned of the First Regiment Commander's plan and immediately launched an attack on the Japanese reinforcements.

The Japanese reinforcements were originally in a stalemate with the Second Battalion of the First Regiment and the paratrooper unit.

Now suddenly a main battalion came in from the flank and was forced to retreat.

The soldiers of the Second Battalion of the First Regiment and the paratroopers pursued the enemy all the way to the outskirts of the Japanese military headquarters in Suihua City.

Major Kojima and his fellow commanders hadn't anticipated the Devil's attack would be so swift, and hadn't retreated yet. Their garrison, along the streets and houses, desperately resisted the attacks of the First and Second Regiments, buying time for their commanders' retreat.

Major Kojima did not expect that his carefully arranged defense line could only hold off the devil's troops for less than two days.

He was reluctant to retreat, but fierce gunfire was heard from the north. After crossing the Hulan River, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 2nd Regiment attacked northward and approached the Japanese headquarters in Suihua City.

If Major Kojima and his men do not retreat, they will be surrounded and killed.

Major Kojima had no choice but to retreat northward with Major Matsue and his men, retreating to Qiqihar.

At this time, the only Japanese army left in Suihua City was in Jinjialou Commercial Street.

This group of Japanese troops could temporarily survive the crisis thanks to the small amount of food and drinking water stored in the homes of residents in the commercial street.

The regimental commander continued to treat them coldly. On the one hand, he arranged his troops to strictly prevent them from breaking out, and on the other hand, he arranged his troops to clear the battlefield.

Wang Zhuangfei ordered the commander of the Second Regiment to hand over the task of clearing out the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in Suihua City and cleaning up the battlefield to the First Regiment, and to gather the troops and set off eastward.

Yin Chun's Japanese troops reinforced Suihua City when the main force of the Second Regiment attacked the main force of the Japanese army in Suihua City.

At present, the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment was blocking the hillocks and earthen mounds leading to Suihua City. However, the Japanese troops in Yichun dispatched tanks and armored vehicles to launch a series of assaults on the hillocks and earthen positions.

In order to increase firepower and suppress the Japanese machine guns, the Fourth Battalion's rockets were running out, and logistical supplies could not be delivered for the time being.

Fortunately, the Xinjing Air Force received intelligence and quickly flew over to provide reinforcements, destroying the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles approaching the hills.

The Japanese army's subsequent tanks and armored vehicles quickly turned around and fled.

The Japanese artillery did not dare to open fire under the threat of the New Beijing Air Force.

The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion barely managed to hold this position, but they were unable to repel the Japanese army.

While the Xinjing Air Force was returning, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Fourth Battalion.

Under the continuous and fierce attack of the Japanese army in Yichun, the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion lost more than one-third of their troops. However, they still held their positions and waited for the main force of the Second Regiment to return for support.

After the Second Regiment Commander led a large force to capture Suihua City, he rushed eastward without stopping to reinforce the Fourth Battalion.

The third battalion, which arrived first, had no time to rest and immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops in Yichun.

The Japanese scouts in Yichun had already discovered that a large force of the Devil Army was coming to reinforce, so they were prepared and immediately organized an attack.

However, as the first battalion also joined the battle, the Japanese troops in Yinchun began to be unable to resist and retreated alternately towards Yichun.

This time, the Japanese troops in Yichun were under the order of Commander Michijiro Umezu to provide full reinforcements.

After suffering a heavy defeat, the military forces in Yichun City were depleted.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment did not stop and continued to pursue the Japanese troops of Yinchun into the territory of Yinchun.

At this time, the Xinjing Air Force flew over to reinforce and launched a fierce bombing and strafing on the stubbornly resisting Japanese troops of Yin Chun.
