Chapter 1862 Breaking Through the Japanese Positions in Nanyi Town
Soldiers from the First and Third Battalions launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in front of them from the left flank along the trenches.
The Japanese army was forced to divide its forces and fight on both flanks.
Seeing that their fraternal units on the left flank had succeeded, the Second Battalion on the front intensified its attack on the Japanese forces on the front.
As the soldiers of the Second Regiment attacked the Japanese positions from the left flank, the Japanese lost their advantage in terrain and were soon unable to resist. They had no choice but to retreat into Nanyi Town under alternating cover.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment pursued relentlessly to prevent the Japanese army from rebuilding fortifications within the town. However, when the soldiers of the Second Regiment reached Nanyi Town, they were met with resistance from the Japanese army, who had already constructed defensive fortifications there.
The artillery of the Second Regiment arrived later and launched a fierce bombardment of the Japanese positions in Nanyi Town.
After the artillery bombardment ceased, the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment immediately launched an attack on the Japanese positions. However, reinforcements from the Japanese forces also arrived at the same time.
The two sides engaged in a life-or-death struggle for the position at Nanyi Town.
By the afternoon, the Japanese positions at Nanyi Town had lost all their intact fortifications.
However, the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment also suffered heavy casualties and withdrew from the battle.
The second battalion will be responsible for the next battle.
The battalion commander requested the regimental commander to bypass Nanyi Town, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army, and head to Jiujiang County from Danaoshan.
The second regimental commander refused.
He believed that rather than letting the Japanese troops in Nanyi Town retreat to Nanchang unscathed, it would be better to eliminate them on the spot to reduce the resistance during the attack on Nanchang.
The Japanese fortifications in Nanyi Town have been largely destroyed, so wasting precious shells would be of little use.
He telegraphed the regimental commander, asking him to transfer the Golden Eagle drones from the First Route Army to assist him in attacking Nanyi Town.
Before the Golden Eagle drone arrived, the Second Regiment Commander deliberately withdrew the troops in front and ambushed them nearby, creating the illusion that they had already withdrawn.
As expected, the Japanese army did not wait for the Second Regiment's attack and sent out scouts to investigate the situation.
Japanese scouts searched the woods and bushes on both sides of the path but found no trace of the Devil Troops.
When the scouts of the Second Regiment saw that the Japanese scouts had returned to report, they immediately reported to the commander of the Second Regiment.
The second regimental commander then ordered the troops hiding a little further away to approach Nanyi Town along the woods and bushes on both sides of the path.
Two Golden Eagle 4 drones served as the vanguard, flying over Nanyi Town to scout the Japanese forces.
A short while later, the Japanese army spotted two Golden Eagle 4 drones and pointed at them.
Some Japanese soldiers mischievously fired at them, and the bullets hit the steel plate on the belly of the Golden Eagle drone, making a crisp "clang" sound.
The Japanese soldiers, finding the task tedious, continued firing at the Golden Eagle drone.
At this moment, the Japanese soldiers on guard suddenly discovered the devilish troops approaching Nanyi Town from both sides of the path.
The Japanese troops hurriedly moved into their blocking positions and opened fire fiercely to prevent the devilish troops from getting closer.
The two Golden Eagle 4 drones, which were already prepared, immediately began to straf the designated target.
Upon hearing the gunfire, the soldiers of the Second Regiment changed their strategy from a sneak attack to a full-scale assault, and quickly launched a charge towards Nanyi Town.
Japanese machine gunners and mortar soldiers in the trenches were taken down one after another by the Golden Eagle drone.
The Japanese positions in Nanyi Town were thrown into chaos.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment fired fiercely as they rushed toward Nanyi Town.
The Japanese positions in Nanyi Town were completely disrupted by the Golden Eagle drones, making it impossible for them to form a united force to stop the Second Regiment's attack.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment quickly rushed onto the Japanese positions in Nanyi Town and engaged in close combat with the Japanese.
