Devil's Army

Chapter 1886 Recapture of Guixi County

When the Second Regiment advanced toward the south gate of Guixi County, they encountered a small group of Japanese troops and came across a Japanese stronghold.

This small group of Japanese troops was no match for the Second Regiment.

Before the main force of the Second Regiment arrived, the vanguard of the Second Regiment had already annihilated the Japanese troops and destroyed their stronghold.

When the soldiers of the Second Regiment arrived at the South Gate of Guixi County, it was already late, and the Japanese army did not notice them.

As dawn broke, the vanguard of the Second Regiment launched a fierce attack on the south gate of Guixi County.

The Japanese troops, who were not yet in a state of readiness, immediately moved into position to block the Second Regiment's attack.

The Second Regiment's battle cries were loud, but their charge was slow.

Suddenly, the sound of dense cannon fire came from outside the city walls.

The Japanese troops who were blocking the Second Regiment were blown up one after another.

As soon as the artillery bombardment by the Second Regiment ceased, the infantry immediately launched an attack on Guixi County.

Unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Second Regiment, the Japanese troops at the South Gate hurriedly requested reinforcements from the Major.

At this time, a regiment was also attacking the west gate of Guixi County, and the major had no choice but to transfer troops from the city to reinforce it.

Seeing that the south gate of Guixi County could not be captured after a long siege, the second regimental commander brought in Golden Eagle drones to assist in the battle.

When the Golden Eagle drone flew over, it spotted the Japanese troops rushing from the city to reinforce them. It immediately swooped down and began strafing the Japanese troops. It also reported the coordinates of the reinforcing Japanese troops to the artillery.

Soon after, the Japanese troops blocked on the street by the golden eagle were subjected to a fierce bombardment by the artillery of the Second Regiment.

The second regimental commander heard the loud explosions of artillery shells coming from Guixi County, knowing that their artillery was preventing Japanese reinforcements from arriving. He immediately ordered his troops to intensify their attack.

He knew that artillery could not completely stop the Japanese reinforcements from reaching the city walls, and that the Japanese would definitely try to reinforce the walls again.

The Japanese troops on the south gate of Guixi County were subjected to even more intense bullet fire and rocket bombardment.

Some Japanese machine guns initially fired at the soldiers of the Second Regiment below the city wall, but were quickly bombarded by rockets.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment charged forward wave after wave, braving Japanese bullets, and continued their attacks on Guixi County.

Two soldiers risked their lives to rush to the city gate, but they had no explosives in their hands.

They tied the grenades they were carrying together, then tied them to the city gate and pulled the pins.

Amid a series of explosions, half of the city gate was blown open.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment who arrived later kicked down the city gate and rushed into Guixi City with their guns in hand.

Some Japanese reinforcements who had escaped the Second Regiment's bombardment also arrived and fired fiercely at the Second Regiment soldiers who rushed into the city.

Soldiers from the Second Regiment who had just rushed into the city and were unable to take cover were shot and killed one after another.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment who rushed over immediately returned fire, and the two sides engaged in a life-or-death battle in the open city gate.

Other soldiers launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the city wall.

The Japanese troops on the city wall had to split up and fight the Second Regiment soldiers who rushed into the city.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese firepower on the city walls weakened, the soldiers of the Second Regiment outside the city rushed into the city one after another.

Gunshots, explosions, and soldiers' shouts echoed at the south gate of Guixi City.

The Japanese troops at the south gate of Guixi County could no longer hold out and retreated towards Yiyang County under alternating cover.

During the retreat, the Japanese major notified the garrison at the west gate to retreat in order to avoid being surrounded by the devilish troops.

One regiment then broke through the west gate of Guixi County and advanced deeper into the county.

After capturing Yingtan Town, the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 2nd Brigade continued their advance towards Guixi County, where they joined forces with the 1st and 2nd Regiments.
