Devil's Army

After the Japanese retreated, Wu Lang came to the fortifications on the mountainside. The fortifications on the mountainside were in a mess after being bombed by the Japanese, and Wang Zhuangfei was arranging to clean up the battlefield. Seeing Wu Lang coming, Wang Zhuangfei went forward to hug Wu Lang and patted Wu Lang's back with his right hand. Everything is self-evident.

"By the way, let's report the situation to the captain." After a while, Wang Zhuangfei suddenly remembered.

Wu Lang nodded and flew into a small house with Wang Zhuang.

The call went through and the captain answered.

After listening to Wang Zhuangfei's report, Leng Feng said: "This time when the Japanese attacked Hejiagang, they did not attack Hujia Village and the Oroqen tribe at the same time. This shows that their troops are insufficient. The Japanese may send more people next time. We must quickly restore the destroyed fortifications, including anti-tank cones."

Leng Feng paused and said, "You and Wu Lang should store more supplies. If the Japanese occupy Hejiazhai Village next time, they will definitely not withdraw in a short time. You must be prepared for a big and long battle. You can first evacuate the elderly, women and children to the Xinxu camp, and prepare enough warm clothes and food there. Then find a place to prepare some weapons and ammunition."

"Ok"

"Send someone to collect the bullet casings and shrapnel from the battlefield. I also asked someone to collect some after the battle and put them in a small cave in the north of the village. The entrance to the cave is covered with branches and grass. Send someone to bring all these to me."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." After saying this, Leng Feng hung up the phone.

"What did the captain say? I seemed to hear him talking about me." Wu Lang asked Wang Zhuangfei.

"The captain wants us to stock up more supplies. The next time the Japanese may come with more people, we must be prepared for a big and long battle. After the war, we must collect all the bullet casings and shrapnel and send them to him."

"It looks like the captain's arsenal is about to start production." Wu Lang said to Wang Zhuangfei, "I'm going to go back first and see if there's any chance to take down the devils and collect some supplies."

"I'm busy too, so I won't keep you here." Wang Zhuangfei said.

After Captain Sugimu retreated to Tieling County, he immediately took a small group of Japanese soldiers back to Fengtian and reported the entire battle to Nobuyoshi Muto in person.

Nobuyoshi Muto was slightly surprised to see Captain Sugimu coming back in such a mess. All the encirclement and suppression operations he had carried out since taking office had gone smoothly, except for this one.

After listening to Captain Sugimu's report, he also felt that this devilish army was not simple, and immediately called the Kwantung Army Headquarters to request reinforcements.

After hearing the report, the headquarters attached great importance to it and immediately sent a 3,000-man Korean Japanese army to reinforce. Later, the Kwantung Army would also come to reinforce.

At noon the next day, the soldiers sent by Wang Zhuangfei to deliver bullet shells and shrapnel arrived at the Oroqen tribe. Everyone knew that a big battle had taken place in Hejiazhao Village yesterday. They also felt that a big battle was imminent in the Oroqen tribe. The troupe worked harder to promote the anti-Japanese war and recruit soldiers in more distant villages. The soldiers working in the underground tunnels also accelerated the process. Now an underground Great Wall has been dug out that can initially accommodate more than 5000 people. There are canteens, ammunition depots, storage rooms, hospitals, prisons, war rooms... If necessary, the troops and the tribesmen in the tribe can move to underground life.

The most meritorious person during this period was the Anti-Japanese Drama Troupe. They changed their previous mode of only promoting performances and then waiting for villagers to come to the tribe to sign up for the army. They accepted the applications on the spot and took them back to the tribe directly. The number of soldiers in the Oroqen tribe has reached more than 2,000. Of course, some of them were volunteers who were dispersed by the Japanese.

Leng Feng took the time to reorganize the troops, expanding the new recruits into the three existing battalions, and also selected some veterans from the three existing battalions to form the fifth battalion with the new recruits. The steady and taciturn Meilang served as the captain of the fifth battalion.

Each new recruit in the army was assigned a veteran to lead them. Leng Feng also implemented a joint responsibility system: if a brigade on a mission had abnormal casualties or accidents with new recruits, such as not being able to dodge the enemy's artillery fire, running around causing unnecessary casualties, hitting their own people in battle, throwing grenades without pulling the string, etc., the brigade leader would be held responsible; the brigade leader would hold the squadron leader of the squadron where these accidents occurred responsible; the squadron leader would hold the squad leader of the squad where these accidents occurred responsible; and the squad would hold the veteran who led the new recruits responsible for these accidents.

Therefore, the veterans paid close attention to the learning, training, and physical training of the new recruits. For a time, the army was in a frenzy of training new recruits. Everyone was competing to see who had the best shooting skills and military skills. Many new recruits were miserable, but none of them objected. Because they all knew that the veterans did this so that they could survive better on the battlefield.

Leng Feng also held drills from time to time, assuming that the Japanese invaded the tribe, school, or hospital. The tribesmen, led by their respective leaders, would enter the tunnels from their respective secret entrances.

For a moment, the entire tribe was filled with the atmosphere of war.
