Devil's Army

Chapter 1889 The Last Battle

The soldiers of the Third Regiment launched a fierce and rapid attack on the Japanese troops at the rear.

The Fourth Battalion, in particular, though it had less than half its original strength, was eager for revenge and charged at the Japanese troops in front of it while firing wildly.

The soldiers of the Third Regiment quickly broke through the rearguard Japanese defenses and continued to pursue the retreating main force of the Japanese army.

Due to the narrow roads and the fact that the Japanese troops were carrying supplies, their retreat was slow.

Even more critically, the air force of the First Army arrived and bombarded the retreating Japanese vanguard, effectively slowing down their retreat.

The soldiers of the Fourth Battalion ran all the way and finally caught up with the retreating Japanese army.

The fourth battalion commander immediately launched a fierce attack on the retreating Japanese troops.

The major had no choice but to arrange for troops to block the attack of the Fourth Battalion while simultaneously ordering the vanguard to break through the bombing of the Devil Force's air force and retreat quickly towards Yiyang County.

However, to the major's dismay, the 3rd Regiment Commander arrived in Yiyang County with the 3rd Battalion and its subordinate troops, blocking the major's retreat.

The major was now in a predicament, with enemy troops blocking his way in front and pursuing him from behind. However, he had no choice but to launch a full-scale attack on the Third Regiment Commander's troops.

If they could break through the third regimental commander's defenses, they could join up with the Japanese troops in Yiyang County.

The third regimental commander certainly knew what it would mean if the Japanese army broke through his defenses.

He committed all three battalions to the attack, focusing all his efforts on repelling the Japanese offensive. His direct subordinate units were on standby, ready to provide reinforcements.

The Japanese army launched two fierce attacks on the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, but both were stubbornly resisted by the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion.

Meanwhile, the third deputy regimental commander, leading three other battalions, launched fierce attacks on him from the rear and flanks, and the defensive line was at risk of being breached by the devilish troops at any moment.

The major had no choice but to request reinforcements from the lieutenant colonel in Yiyang County.

The major had led away an elite force of the Japanese army in Yiyang County. If they were to be completely annihilated by the "Devil's Troops," it would be a tremendous loss to the defense of Yiyang County. After much deliberation, the lieutenant colonel decided to send troops out of the city to reinforce them.

The third regimental commander quickly learned from intelligence transmitted by the Golden Eagle drone that the Japanese army inside the city had sent reinforcements.

He had no troops left to send, so he could only send his reserve troops to intercept Japanese reinforcements in Yiyang County.

The Japanese reinforcements in Yiyang County engaged in battle with the direct subordinate units of the Third Regiment. Immediately, the artillery bombarded and the infantry charged, unleashing full firepower in an attempt to break through the Third Regiment's defenses as soon as possible and relieve the besieged Japanese troops.

The Third Regiment's directly subordinate troops, fearless in the face of death, withstood the Japanese artillery bombardment, acting as a pillar of strength to firmly prevent the Japanese reinforcements from Yiyang County from joining the besieged Japanese troops.

The third deputy regimental commander, along with the first, second, and fourth battalions, and the third regimental commander, along with the third battalion, intensified their attack on the surrounded Japanese troops.

If the Japanese troops in the encirclement are dealt with, the Japanese reinforcements in Yiyang County will retreat without a fight.

Although the firepower of the Third Regiment was not as fierce as that of the Japanese army, the air force of the First Army came to reinforce from time to time, and launched fierce bombing and strafing against the Japanese reinforcements in Yiyang County and the Japanese troops in the encirclement, making the Japanese troops in the encirclement and the Japanese reinforcements in Yiyang County suffer greatly.

Most of the Japanese artillery pieces in the encirclement had been destroyed by the First Army's air force.

Under the intense bombardment of the First Army's air force, the Japanese artillery in Yiyang County dared not fire.

The pressure on the Third Regiment's directly subordinate units has been greatly reduced.

After half a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese troops in the encirclement were like grasshoppers in autumn.

The three regimental commanders and three deputy regimental commanders launched their final attack on them at the same time!
