Devil's Army

Chapter 1069: Destroy the Black Dog

The black dogs that attacked Tanghe and Jiguana Mountain retreated to Laolongtou, built fortifications, and prepared to block the pursuit of the devil troops.

The soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 4th Brigade's Direct Regiment who pursued to Laolongtou were successively blocked at two intersections leading to Laolongtou.

In order to completely wipe out this team of black dogs, Captain Wang of the direct regiment asked Wang Zhuangfei for help, concentrating the strength of the entire regiment to recapture Laolongtou.

Wang Zhuangfei knew that the terrain of Laolongtou was dangerous and that the soldiers would suffer heavy casualties if they attacked by force, so he rejected Captain Wang's request to fight.

He ordered the commander of a regiment to leave behind one company of soldiers from each of the two battalions stationed at Tanghe and Jiguana Mountain, and all the other troops to guard the exit of Laolongtou to prevent the black-skinned dog from escaping from Laolongtou and invading Tanghe and Jiguana Mountain.

In addition, Commander Wang of the direct regiment arranged soldiers to set up an ambush circle at the Qinhuangdao wharf.

Laolongtou Mountain is a dangerous place, but there is a lack of food and water. It is not a long-term solution for the black dog to stay there, and he will definitely leave Qinhuangdao on a warship.

The next day, the black dog on the old dragon's head launched an attack on a regiment of soldiers, but after being repelled, there was no further movement.

The Japanese fleet on the Qinhuangdao sea was still cruising in the open sea, and the soldiers of the direct regiment on the Qinhuangdao dock continued to wait and see.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, a soldier from the First Army who was in charge of monitoring the sea situation reported to the head of the regiment, Captain Wang, that a Japanese warship with its lights off was quietly approaching Qinhuangdao.

Captain Wang immediately ordered the soldiers to be vigilant and prepare for battle.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, more than a dozen black dogs sneaked into the Qinhuangdao Port from Laolongtou, turned on their flashlights, and flashed signals to the warship on the sea.

"Captain, do you want to capture all these black dogs?" asked the soldier in charge of surveillance.

"No, these are puppies. We will prepare to catch the big dogs later." The company commander replied with a smile.

"Captain, just now these black dogs used flashlights to flash their warships 12 times three times in a row. What does that mean?"

"Not sure, maybe we can ask the warship to come and pick them up at 12 o'clock and tell them to be alert, the black dog will soon enter the ambush circle."

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, hundreds of furtive shadowy figures quietly emerged from Laolongtou and quickly ran towards the Qinhuangdao Port.

The leading lieutenant colonel had already found out that the direction out of Laolongtou was guarded by soldiers of the Devil Forces, but the direction into Qinhuangdao Port was not.

Just as several hundred black dogs entered the Qinhuangdao Port, intensive gunfire suddenly rang out from all around the collapsed port warehouse.

The major angrily grabbed the collar of the squad leader in charge of reconnaissance, who hurriedly explained.

At this point, getting angry was useless. The major quickly organized his troops to break out and try to rush back to Lao Longtou. However, the road back to Lao Longtou was tightly blocked by a heavy machine gun and two light machine guns.

The team leader personally led the team to launch the first wave of charge, but all members of their team were killed and they failed to break through the blockade of the devil troops.

The warships at sea also noticed the abnormal situation here and began to fire at this side. However, in the dark, the Japanese navy had no way to figure out which one was the devil unit and which one was their marines.

Artillery shells continued to explode a little further away, more like a demonstration than a battle.

The Japanese warships continued to sail towards the port of Qinhuangdao, hoping to get closer to support and assist the retreating Marines.

The aviation soldiers of the 4th Brigade commanded the Golden Eagle No. 3 and launched two air-to-ground missiles at the Japanese warships in succession.

One of the Japanese warship's main gun turrets and the submerged hull were each attacked by an air-to-ground missile.

A huge fire broke out on the deck of the warship, and the surging sea water began to surge into the hull of the warship.

The captain hurriedly ordered the warship to retreat, put out the fire, and close the hatch to drain the water.

These 400 black dogs were abandoned at the Qinhuangdao port. After nearly an hour of fierce fighting by the direct regiment, all of them were wiped out.

The black dogs were eliminated, temporarily solving the threat from the sea to Qinhuangdao. Wang Zhuangfei did not order the regiments directly under him to clean up the battlefield, but instead asked them to rush to the west gate and north gate of Qinhuangdao.

The Japanese Kwantung Army's Eighth Division had already launched a fierce attack on Qinhuangdao's West Gate and North Gate when the Lushun Navy attacked the Qinhuangdao port.

The Second Regiment of the Fourth Brigade had resisted the attacks of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army at these two gates for two days.

After daybreak, Wang Zhuangfei was worried that the Japanese Lushun Navy would attack Qinhuangdao Port again, so he sent scouts to investigate near the port.

The Japanese warships tried to contact his Marines all night but were unable to do so.

The captain reported the situation to Commander Isoroku Yamamoto, explaining that his fleet had suffered an air attack by the Devil's Forces and that many warships were seriously damaged, and requested to return to the port of Lushun for rest.

Commander Isoroku Yamamoto thought about it again and again, and reluctantly agreed with the captain's opinion.

The navy's plans to attack Jinzhou and Qinhuangdao from Yingkou and Lushun all failed.
