Devil's Army

Chapter 1781 Recovering Boai County and Wen County

The Japanese troops in Bo'ai County and Zhengzhou knew that the Devil Army had recaptured Xiuwu County and Wuzhi County, and that the Devil Army would soon attack Bo'ai County and Wen County, so they immediately strengthened their defenses.

At 6 o'clock that morning, the First Army's air force sounded the clarion call to attack Bo'ai County and Wen County.

The 3rd, 4th, 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Brigade also advanced towards Bo'ai County and Wen County respectively.

After a series of battles, the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 1st Brigade wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds between Xiuwu County and Bo'ai County, blew up two bunkers, and reached the outskirts of Bo'ai County.

The 3rd and 4th Regiments did not rest and immediately launched an attack on Bo'ai County.

Since Wen County had no coal resources, there were relatively fewer Japanese and puppet troops stationed there.

The troops of the First and Second Regiments of the First Brigade were stationed on the outskirts of Wen County yesterday.

After two hours of fierce fighting, Wen County was successfully recovered.

The troops continued to advance southwest, preparing to recapture Meng County.

Since Bo'ai County had several important coal mines, the Jiaozuo Japanese military command arranged a large number of Japanese and puppet troops to garrison there.

In particular, a stronghold was set up next to the Daoqing Railway at the eastern gate. There was a bunker in each of the four directions. In the center of the bunker was a supply warehouse for the Jiaozuo Japanese army.

When the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 1st Brigade attacked Boai County, the Japanese army once wanted to destroy this material warehouse. However, at this time, the Japanese army from Qinyang County rushed to support it, and the destruction plan was temporarily stopped.

After all, this warehouse is related to the material supply of the entire Japanese army in Jiaozuo.

As the First Battalion of the Third Regiment broke through the defense line at the north gate of Bo'ai County, the follow-up troops of the Third Regiment made rapid progress, and the Japanese and puppet troops had no time to organize a new defense line before they were broken through.

At this time, the east gate of Bo'ai County was also under fierce attack by the four regiments of soldiers and was in danger.

The Japanese army retreated to the East Gate: Daoqing Railway, attempting to use the surrounding bunkers to block the attack of the devil troops from a high position. Moreover, their material warehouse was located in the center of the bunkers, which could support them until the arrival of follow-up troops.

Unexpectedly, the devil troops did not launch an attack on their bunkers, but used machine guns to suppress the firepower of the bunkers and cover the attack of the rocket soldiers.

The rocket soldiers of the third regiment fired a few shots in succession, turning the surrounding bunkers into a pile of bricks and stones.

Having lost the cover of the bunkers, the remaining Japanese soldiers lay on the railroad tracks, roadbeds and inside houses, firing fiercely at the soldiers of the Devil Unit.

At this time, the First Army's air force flew low and fiercely strafed and bombed the Japanese troops who were resisting stubbornly.

The machine gunners of the 3rd Regiment fiercely suppressed the Japanese firepower and covered the soldiers' attack on the Daoqing Railway.

The Japanese army had no way to resist the fierce air-to-ground fire bombing of the First Army.

At this time, the 4th Regiment of the 1st Brigade also broke through the defense line of the east gate of Bo'ai County and advanced deep into Bo'ai County.

The Japanese military command system in Bo'ai County was in chaos, with each unit fighting independently.

As a result, the Japanese troops stationed at the supply warehouse did not receive orders and did not destroy the supply warehouse.

After the soldiers of the Third Regiment wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops on the Daoqing Railway and in the central warehouse, the commander of the Third Regiment was pleasantly surprised to find that the Japanese army had left him a big surprise.

The Japanese troops from Qinyang County originally came to support the Japanese troops from Bo'ai County, but were blocked outside the west gate of Bo'ai County by soldiers from the fourth battalion of the third battalion of the fourth regiment.

Until Bo'ai County was recaptured by the 3rd and 4th Regiments of the 1st Brigade, the Japanese troops in Qinyang were unable to break through the defense lines of the 3rd and 4th Battalions.

After receiving the news that Boai County had fallen, the Qinyang Japanese army had to return in disappointment. However, at this time, the third and fourth battalions pursued them and entered the territory of Qinyang County.
