Devil's Army

Chapter 1893 Blocked at Guangcai Mountain

The Third Regiment pursued the enemy to Guangcai Mountain, where they were again ambushed by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army set up defenses along the mountainside of Guangcai Mountain, blocking the Third Regiment's attack from a high vantage point.

Guangcai Mountain is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is only one road in and out. This narrow passage makes it difficult for the army's three teams to deploy.

Meanwhile, the lush bamboo groves and abundant vegetation in the mountains provided excellent concealment for the Japanese ambush troops.

Meanwhile, the First Army Air Force was unable to locate the Japanese positions from the air.

The Japanese troops then evaded the bombing by the First Army Air Force.

Two companies from the Third Regiment took turns attacking the Japanese positions on Guangcai Mountain, but all their attempts failed.

As darkness fell, the Japanese army found the best cover.

If the three regiments, which were in the open, attacked Guangcai Mountain at night, they would suffer even greater casualties.

The third regimental commander then ordered his troops to halt the attack and camp at the foot of Guangcai Mountain. However, he was not reconciled with the daytime defeat.

So he ordered the second battalion commander to organize a commando team to prepare for a night raid on the Japanese positions on Guangcai Mountain.

Before the assault team launched a night raid on the Japanese positions at Guangcai Mountain, the second battalion commander, as a precaution, first sent several scouts to investigate the movements of the Japanese troops.

The scouts discovered a Japanese outpost at a mountain pass near the Japanese positions, where two Japanese soldiers were on guard duty.

Two scouts prepared to step forward and take down the two Japanese sentries.

The platoon leader stopped them and gestured for them to observe for a while longer.

The platoon leader thought that the Japanese sentry at the mountain pass was too obvious a target, and wondered if it was a bait.

As I hesitated, a small patrol of Japanese soldiers passed by the outpost.

The scouts were thankful they hadn't acted rashly; otherwise, they would have been spotted by Japanese patrol squads and chased around like rabbits.

After the Japanese patrol squad had gone some distance, the scout still asked his platoon leader to eliminate the two Japanese sentries.

During the time the Japanese patrol detachment passed by, the platoon leader kept an eye on the area around the outpost, but found nothing unusual.

So they agreed to the two scouts' request.

Two scouts slowly crawled toward the Japanese sentry.

As the two Japanese sentries turned their backs, the two scouts suddenly leaped up and rushed toward the Japanese sentries.

At that moment, rapid gunfire rang out not far from the sentry post.

Before they could eliminate the two Japanese sentries, the scouts were shot and fell to the ground.

It turned out that the cunning Japanese army had placed hidden sentries near the conspicuous outposts.

As soon as the gunshots rang out from the sentry post, the surrounding Japanese soldiers immediately swarmed over like flies attracted to a stench.

The platoon leader sensed something was wrong and immediately led the other two scouts back.

The Japanese soldiers noticed the commotion on the platoon leader's side and immediately opened fire on him and his men.

The platoon leader returned fire as he ran towards his camp.

Unbeknownst to them, the platoon leader led more than 30 Japanese soldiers into their assault team's ambush zone.

Suddenly, bursts of intense gunfire erupted from all around.

The battalion commander led his assault team in a fierce barrage of fire at the Japanese troops who were pursuing the platoon leader and his men.

The Japanese soldiers, who were in full pursuit of the three fleeing devilish soldiers, were caught off guard and fell to the ground after being shot.

Because the 3rd Regiment Commander equipped the 2nd Battalion Commander and his men with more powerful weapons, it wasn't long before most of the Japanese troops pursuing the platoon leader and his men were annihilated.

When the few remaining Japanese soldiers who had fled led the main force of the Japanese army to surround them, the second battalion commander had already led the assault team back to the camp.

This night raid on the Japanese position at Guangcaishan failed due to the Japanese army's tight defenses, but unexpectedly resulted in the elimination of nearly 30 Japanese soldiers.
