Devil's Army

Chapter 1945 Battle of Jianli County 3

Just as the Japanese artillery at Bailuo Airport began shelling the First Regiment, the Nanchang Air Force swooped in and launched a fierce bombardment of the Japanese artillery positions.

Japanese anti-aircraft guns at Bailuo Airport then launched a fierce barrage on the First Army's fighter planes.

The Nanchang Air Force launched a fierce bombing and strafing attack on the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery units from several directions in multiple waves. This overwhelmed the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery, and many were hit.

After a fierce battle of blood and fire between the Nanchang Air Force and the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery, at the cost of two aircraft being shot down and several others being damaged, the Japanese air force successfully destroyed the anti-aircraft artillery positions at Bailuo Airport.

At this time, the Japanese Bailuo Airport was practically defunct, with neither fighter planes nor anti-aircraft artillery units.

The remaining defending troops were in an increasingly dangerous situation, having to evade air raids by the First Army Air Force and repel attacks from the First Regiment and the Independent Battalion.

Knowing the importance of Bailuo Airport, the Japanese lieutenant colonel immediately dispatched troops from Jianli County and surrounding towns to reinforce it.

At this time, the battle of the army, navy and air force of the First Army against Jianli County had begun in full swing, and fighting was taking place everywhere. The Japanese troops were insufficient in every place.

The Japanese troops in Jianli County, Zhuhe Town, and Chiba Town dared not disobey orders and could only send reinforcements to Bailuo Airport.

As soon as the Japanese troops in these areas left the county town, they were immediately blocked by other units of the brigade and had no way to reach Bailuo Airport smoothly.

At this time, a part of the First Parachute Battalion, which had already completed its assembly, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army's supply base in the valley of Linxiang County from the front, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Wu.

Led by their company commander, the main force of the 2nd and 3rd Parachute Squadrons slid down from both sides of the valley and quietly approached the Japanese army's supply base in the valley.

The Japanese troops in the valley kept rushing towards the valley entrance to engage in battle with Deputy Battalion Commander Wu's paratroopers.

The paratroopers on the left, led by the second company commander, are making their way towards the core position in the valley.

Suddenly, a cacophony of footsteps came from the opposite side.

The second team leader led everyone to lie down in the grass, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, a Japanese army unit was rushing toward the mouth of the valley.

The fierce fighting at the mouth of the valley sent them constantly rushing to provide reinforcements.

At this time, the 2nd Parachute Company was not far from the Japanese army's supply depot.

Deputy Company Commander Wu decisively ordered his soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese troops from behind.

He led three or four squads in a fierce attack on the Japanese guards at the entrance of the supply warehouse.

The Japanese troops, who were rushing to reinforce the valley entrance, were suddenly attacked from both sides by the first and second paratrooper squads, and their formation was thrown into chaos.

Led by its commander, the 3rd Parachute Company on the right side of the valley launched a swift and unexpected attack on the Japanese troops at the warehouse base.

The valleys of Linxiang County were filled with intense gunfire and explosions.

The remaining Japanese troops in the warehouse were no match for the First Parachute Battalion.

While organizing a defensive operation, the Japanese commander requested reinforcements from a lieutenant colonel.

The valley in Linxiang County stores a considerable amount of ammunition, fuel, and food for the air force, making it no less important than Bailuo Airport.

The lieutenant colonel hurriedly dispatched troops to support the nuclear project. However, they were blocked by soldiers from the First Brigade and the New Fourth Army.

Seeing the air force of the "Devil Unit" returning to base, the Japanese army launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the 1st Brigade's blocking line in an attempt to break through and support the troops in the valley of Linxiang County.

(When Bailuo Airport was attacked by the First Air Force, it was moved to this secluded mountain cave for safety reasons. However, it is quite far away, and now reinforcements are encountering problems.)
