Devil's Army

Chapter 1922 Battle of Muliao Mountain 2

Seeing no hope of breaking out, the Japanese major had no choice but to order the rear guard to become the front guard and accelerate their withdrawal from the ambush area of ​​the devilish troops.

On the first day of their attack on Muliao Mountain, the Japanese army first encountered fierce resistance from the First Battalion, and then suffered a powerful ambush from the Second and Third Battalions, resulting in heavy casualties and a forced retreat.

The next morning, the Japanese major changed his strategy. He sent one unit to attack the positions of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, while another unit provided cover from the rear, constantly suppressing the firepower of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions with heavy fire.

This tactic by the Japanese army had some effect.

The machine guns of the 2nd and 3rd battalions, which were intercepting the Japanese attacking troops, were quickly subjected to fierce bombardment from the Japanese mortars and grenade launchers behind them.

The third regimental commander immediately changed tactics, using precision shooting to counter the Japanese army's fire suppression.

He arranged for a golden eagle to fly over the rearguard of the Japanese army, and as soon as it spotted the Japanese mortar and mortar crews, it immediately began to fire fiercely.

Japanese mortar and grenade launcher infantry were precisely intercepted and killed by Golden Eagle drones. They were unable to provide long-range fire support to their infantry.

Although the Japanese infantry were fierce, they were unable to break through the positions of the Second and Third Battalions. However, the Japanese forces were superior in number and continued to attack the positions of the Second and Third Battalions.

The Japanese artillery continued to suppress the artillery of the Third Regiment.

Seeing that the artillery firepower of the Devil Unit had been suppressed, the Japanese major deployed two more tanks to intensify the bombardment of the Devil Unit's positions.

Seeing the Japanese tanks advancing aggressively, the third regimental commander ordered Golden Eagle to fire fiercely at the Japanese tanks and surrounding soldiers.

Seeing that the bullets from the small planes could not penetrate the armor of their tanks, the Japanese major immediately ordered three more tanks to come forward as reinforcements.

Seeing that the artillery couldn't shake off the Japanese artillery and bombard the Japanese tanks, and that the rocket troops were too far away, and the Golden Eagle IV drones were ineffective against the Japanese tanks, the 3rd Regiment Commander quickly dispatched two Golden Eagle III drones from the rear to provide support.

The first two Japanese tanks, under the cover of infantry, charged toward the hillside positions of the "Devil Forces" on both sides.

The machine gunners of the 3rd Regiment fiercely fired at the infantry next to the Japanese tanks, providing cover for the rocket troops to approach the Japanese tanks.

On the left hillside, the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment, at the cost of four machine gunners, finally covered the rocket troops as they approached the tanks.

A loud "boom" was heard, and a Japanese tank that was climbing up the hillside was reduced to a pile of scrap metal.

Upon seeing this, the Japanese tanks on the right hillside immediately retreated and continued to fire at the soldiers of the Third Regiment and rocket troops who were approaching them.

The rocket troops of the 3rd Regiment, who were attempting to destroy Japanese tanks, and the soldiers next to them were blown away by Japanese tank artillery.

At this point, the four Japanese tanks had learned their lesson and no longer crawled towards the 3rd Regiment's position. Instead, they stayed on the path and continuously bombarded the 2nd Regiment's position, providing long-range support for the infantry's attack.

The Second and Third Battalions suffered heavy casualties from the fierce bombing by Japanese tanks and the heavy firing by infantry, but they still hid in their fortifications and stubbornly resisted the Japanese attack.

Seeing that the firepower of the second and third battalions' positions was weakening, the third regimental commander quickly ordered the fourth battalion, which was serving as a reserve force, to split into two groups to reinforce the positions of the second and third battalions.

Seeing that the Devil Squad's firepower was being suppressed, the major ordered the four tanks to launch an attack on the two hillsides respectively.

Four Japanese tanks, divided into two groups and under the cover of infantry, thundered towards the positions of the Second and Third Battalions.

At this critical moment, two Golden Eagle 3 drones belonging to the Army Aviation Corps arrived.
