Devil's Army

The chief of staff immediately arranged for another squad of infantry to protect two signalmen and quickly go outside the city to reconnect the telephone lines that had been cut by the devil's troops.

The task of transporting ammunition and supplies was important, and he did not dare to act on his own without personally receiving orders from Division Commander Kunisaki Noboru.

This group of Japanese soldiers soon searched near Li Hongmei and her group and saw two female guerrillas.

The two female guerrillas had obviously seen this group of Japanese soldiers and began to shoot at them in a panic. They screamed in fear while shooting. No one knew where the bullets were going.

The Japanese squad leader laughed out loud and immediately raised his gun, ready to shoot. The two female guerrillas were so scared that they turned around and ran away.

"Could it be that Lieutenant Ono was wiped out by these guerrillas?" The team leader said contemptuously, pointing at the two female guerrillas jumping around.

"Lieutenant Ono has more than 34 men. They won't be defeated by a guerrilla force like this, right?" a sergeant nearby responded.

"Just charge forward and catch them and you'll know." The lieutenant changed his cautious attitude and immediately ordered the soldiers to chase after the two female guerrillas.

After a while, the two female guerrillas stopped running and hid behind a tree to shoot at the Japanese soldiers. Their shooting skills were much more accurate, and Japanese soldiers fell to the ground in almost every round of gunfire.

Before the squad leader could react, grenades were thrown at him from both sides, which exploded continuously among the small group of Japanese soldiers.

Then there were intense and continuous gunshots from both sides.

In less than an hour, this small group of Japanese soldiers and two signalmen also became victims of Li Hongmei and her team.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Li Hongmei and her team threw the Japanese corpses behind the hillside and continued to hide, preparing to ambush the next target.

Captain Huang waited for a long time, but there was still no news from the Chief of Staff. He called the Chief of Staff into his office again.

The chief of staff came to the office cautiously. Captain Huang kicked him down without saying a word and cursed:

"Do you want to wait until your Seventh Division runs out of ammunition and food before setting off?"

"Major Zuoqi, that's not the case. The signalmen, they haven't connected the telephone line yet."

"They haven't connected the phone line yet, so why don't you set out? Your Seventh Division will be destroyed in your hands!" Captain Huang slapped the chief of staff in the face again and cursed.

"I'll make arrangements right away and leave tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning?"

"It's getting dark now. If we set out at night, we might be ambushed by the devil's army."

"You are not wasting time here. We have already reached Changtu County before dark. Division Commander Kunisaki Tou has already used this batch of weapons to kill the devil troops." Captain Huang drew out his command knife, pointed at the chief of staff's head and cursed.

The chief of staff didn't dare to respond, and went down timidly to arrange for the transport team to set off.

"Wait, leave half of the troops to defend Zhonggu Town, and the other half will follow me to transport ammunition to Changtu County."

"This?" The chief of staff looked at Captain Huang with difficulty.

The task of transporting supplies and ammunition was arduous and dangerous. Even if all of his remaining troops were to set out, he could not guarantee that there would be no mistakes. And this Major in front of him actually only asked him to send half of his troops to escort.

"What? How long do you want to drag it out?"

The chief of staff didn't dare to respond and hurried down to prepare.

More than half an hour later, this half of the troops arranged by the chief of staff escorted the transport team and followed Captain Huang's special forces on a road of no return.

After Captain Huang and his men left with the transport team, the chief of staff desperately called the division commander Kunisaki To, but to his disappointment, the call could not be connected.

Li Hongmei and her friends did not have dinner either. They simply ate some dry food and waited near the telephone line.

But until dark, there was no sign of the Japanese signalmen coming to repair the lines.

Li Hongmei and her colleagues covered the Japanese soldiers' bodies with mud and returned to the headquarters.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade left a company behind to pretend to besiege Zhonggu Town before Captain Huang's special forces left. The main force set up an ambush in Jingou, between Zhonggu Town and Changtu County.

In Changtu County, the division commander Kunisaki Tou had indeed been in contact with the transport team's major, Huan Dang, but his purpose was not to ask the transport team to help them transport ammunition.

Commander Michijiro Umezu had already helped him replenish food and ammunition by train.

His purpose in contacting Major Huandang was to have the transport team concentrate its forces to attract the devil troops outside Zhonggu Town and cooperate with them to destroy the devil troops from the flank. However, Major Huandang's phone was unreachable and the radio could not be reached.

This made the division commander Kunisaki Toshio believe that Zhonggu Town had been lost, and he did not dare to act rashly.
