Devil's Army

Chapter 2124 The Battle of Longjing County 2

The Japanese tanks could not keep up with the speed of the 1st Army Air Force's aircraft as they fled.

Many Japanese tanks were bombed and strafed by the First Army Air Force when they took refuge in the woods.

Outside Longjing County, the wreckage of Japanese tanks, still burning, lies scattered.

After the First Air Force returned to base, the Japanese army immediately launched a fierce attack on Longjing County.

The second regimental commander, feeling resentful about the loss of Helong County, volunteered to the seventh deputy brigade commander to defend Longjing County.

The seventh deputy brigade commander immediately agreed.

With the Japanese army pressing in, he had no more than five regiments under his command, including his direct subordinates, and none of them could remain uninvolved.

With the approval of the seventh deputy brigade commander, the second regimental commander immediately led his soldiers to replace a regiment of soldiers on the city wall.

After several days of rest, the soldiers of the Second Regiment have regained their original morale.

Faced with the brutal Japanese army, their eyes gleamed with ferocity, and they fiercely fired and threw grenades at the attacking Japanese troops.

The Japanese tanks that had been hiding in the woods also drove over at this time and fiercely bombarded the fortifications on the city wall.

The rocket troops of the 2nd Regiment lay in ambush inside the city wall fortifications, their eyes fixed on the Japanese tanks.

Rocket observers continuously reported the positions of Japanese tanks:

Observer: Azimuth 331 degrees, distance 550 meters, 3 enemy tanks advancing in column!

Squad leader: Adjust the weather parameters and lock onto the first vehicle!

Observer: Understood! Target locked, pitch angle xx, deviation correction complete!

Squad leader: The three teams of rocket soldiers locked onto their targets in turn.

Rocket Soldier: A team of rocket soldiers has locked onto the target!

…………

Observer: Japanese tanks have entered our firing range, 200 meters away.

Observer: Three Japanese tanks are only 100 meters away from us.

Squad leader: Launch unit, attention! Ready—fire!

Three rockets roared towards three Japanese tanks outside the city gate.

The three Japanese tanks that were charging forward with a thunderous roar and firing continuously were instantly reduced to three piles of scrap metal.

Squad leader: Retreat!

Upon receiving orders from their squad leader, the rocket soldiers quickly grabbed their rocket launchers and ammunition and evacuated from the city wall.

Shortly after the rocket troops of the Second Regiment withdrew from the city wall, Japanese mortar shells covered the area where the rocket troops of the Second Regiment had just been.

Thanks to the tenacious resistance of the soldiers of the Second Regiment, the Japanese attack that day was completely repelled.

In the evening, the Japanese army did not launch any new attacks.

The medics rushed forward to rescue the wounded.

One of the machine gunners was required to be hospitalized to recuperate due to the severity of his injuries.

The machine gunner sighed and said:

"Sigh, I can't kill these bastards with my own hands."

The co-pilot next to him smiled and said to him:

"Brother Long, you go down and rest. Leave the machine gun to me, I'll kill these bastards for you."

"Get lost! I can tell you're up to no good the moment you lift your ass. You've been eyeing this machine gun for ages. You say you're helping me kill the Japanese, but really you just want to take over this machine gun."

"Brother Long, why are you saying such harsh things? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine. What's there for us to argue about?"

Upon hearing this, the nurse couldn't help but laugh.

This person seems honest and kind, but he's always trying to take advantage of others.

"Give the machine gun to Lao Han, you go down and rest. What are you doing holding that machine gun? Wait for the baby?"

"Commander, I'll be back soon after I'm bandaged up."

"Open your eyes and look around. We've been fighting since Helong County. How many machine guns does our regiment still have?"
