Devil's Army

At noon, the sentry responsible for monitoring the Japanese reported that they had not left yet.

Leng Feng, Huilang, Meilang, Wenlang, Li Guozhu and Barun sat in the tunnel operations room, unable to do anything.

"We can't go on like this. The Japanese aren't leaving anytime soon, and we're hiding in tunnels day after day. We'll be easily discovered after a while. And we'll be under great pressure for food," said Gray Wolf.

"Yeah," Leng Feng nodded in agreement. "Now Hejiazhai has been occupied by the devils, and we have been 'annihilated' by them. The only one who can attract the devils' attention is the Second Battalion of Hujia Village."

"How about asking Wulang to make some big noise and divert the Japanese away?" Wenlang suggested.

"I think it's a good idea to lure the tiger away from the mountain." Then Leng Feng called Wu Lang and instructed him to wait for an opportunity to launch an attack from a small road to the entrance of Hejiazhai Village, making the noise as loud as possible. Lure away the devils in the Oroqen tribe.

After receiving the order, Wu Lang immediately ordered the first and second squadrons to march quickly to Hejiazhao Village with mortars, and also brought the firecrackers and iron barrels bought in Diaobingshan County some time ago.

After arranging the affairs of the Second Battalion, Leng Feng said:

"We can't just let these hundreds of prisoners sit there and do nothing. It's a waste of our food. Gray Wolf, take your men and lead them to dig a tunnel from the glass factory tunnel to the bottom of the mountain. Once it's dug through, we can go straight out of the tunnel to the outskirts of the forest and escape the Japanese encirclement. In the future, we can also move the necessary materials or machines from the outskirts of the forest into the tunnel or the Oroqen tribe through the tunnel."

"If the Japanese find the entrance to the tunnel, it will be much easier for them to attack the Oroqen tribe. At least they won't have to force their way through the pass at the foot of the mountain." Li Guozhu said worriedly.

"We installed more wooden doors along the tunnel and prepared some earth bags next to them. In case of emergency, we can close the wooden door and block the back with earth bags, so they can't get in. In addition, we can install explosives at the entrance of the cave and blow it down when necessary."

"Grey Wolf, you go and arrange for the digging of the tunnel down the mountain."

"Yes," Gray Wolf responded, and went out with the Second Squadron of the First Brigade and more than 300 members of the labor reform team to dig a tunnel down the mountain.

In less than two hours, the two Wulang squadrons reached the outskirts of the forest on the right side of Hejiazhao Village.

The Japanese set up two circular fortifications on both sides of the entrance to Hejiazhao Village, each with a machine gun and three Japanese soldiers. Two Japanese soldiers were also stationed on each of the village's watchtowers. One Japanese soldier lay down next to a machine gun, while the other stood and patrolled everywhere.

Wu Lang arranged two snipers and several team members with better marksmanship to assign the ten devils to each of them. He tried to kill the ten devils in the first round of gunfire. He also arranged two machine guns facing the village entrance, and suppressed the devils with firepower as soon as they rushed out of the village.

"Shoot!" Wu Lang shot the Japanese soldier next to the machine gun on the watchtower behind him. The guns of the other nine team members also sounded almost at the same time. Nine of the ten Japanese soldiers went to see their emperor on the spot. The Japanese soldier lying next to the machine gun in the left fortification was left unshot. He immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and pulled the bolt. But Wu Lang did not give him a chance to shoot, and shot him again in time. A blood-red flower splashed on the helmet of the Japanese soldier, and he lay on the machine gun without moving.

Wu Lang commanded the two squadrons to rush to the village entrance, and at this time the Japanese in the village also rushed out of the village entrance.

As soon as the Japanese rushed out of the village, the two machine guns deployed by Wulang immediately started to "click and click". Several Japanese who had just rushed out of the village fell down one after another.

Wu Lang led a squadron of members to quickly occupy the village entrance, lying in the fortifications and shooting at the Japanese in the village.

It would take at least two hours for the Japanese troops from the Oroqen Forest to come to reinforce from the small path on the left. But just in case, Wulang sent a small team of 15 members to the small path on the left to block the Japanese troops who were coming to reinforce. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Wang Zhuangfei's Fourth Battalion and asked him to help fight the reinforcements. He also arranged a small team on the main road to immediately build fortifications to block the Japanese troops who were coming to reinforce from the mountainside pass.

There was only one squadron of devils in Hejiazhao Village, which was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and firepower. However, they relied on various obstacles to shoot at the devil troops and resist Wulang and his men from rushing into the village. At the same time, they sent a telegram for help to Lieutenant Colonel Hebian.

Wu Lang also moved the two machine guns outside the forest to the entrance of the village. Together with the two machine guns at the entrance of the village, there were four machine guns in total, divided into two groups to suppress the Japanese who were fighting back in the village. The Japanese were defeated and retreated to the rooms in the village, trying to hold on and wait for help.

No matter what, Wu Lang and his men had stayed in this village for several months, so they were much more familiar with the situation in the village than the Japanese who had only been there for a few days.

On the one hand, Wu Lang arranged for his team members to attack the Japanese head-on to attract their attention. On the other hand, he arranged for two small teams of nimble members to climb up the house from the side, tiptoe to make a hole in the roof, and throw grenades at the Japanese who were resisting.

In this way, Wulang gradually occupied the houses near the village entrance.

At this time, the sound of gunfire rang out on the path at the entrance of the village. The Japanese soldiers at the mountainside pass came to reinforce.

There was a large room in the village with a lot of Japanese soldiers in the yard. A team member on the roof dug a hole in the roof and happily gestured to Wu Lang, asking him to surround the large house. At the same time, the team members on the roofs also gathered towards him.

Wu Lang immediately arranged the main force to attack the big house. The team members on the roof threw grenades from the roof to the Japanese devils below in the yard of the room, and kept firing.

Under the pincer attack from both inside and outside, the Japanese in the yard were quickly wiped out.

Wulang came over and walked into the big room. He was delighted to see the room full of weapons, ammunition and food.

Wu Lang looked at his watch. The battle had been going on for an hour. In another hour, the enemy's main force would arrive. He ordered the second squad to monitor the enemy in the village, and the others to move their belongings and retreat. At the same time, he asked someone to call Wang Zhuangfei's fourth squad to move the supplies, and also asked the small squad that was blocking the enemy to withdraw as well.

The Japanese in the village saw that the big room was occupied by Wulang's men and tried desperately to take it back, but they were blocked by the second team.

Soon, the men from Wang Zhuangfei's Fourth Brigade came running over. Wang Zhuangfei was delighted when he saw the room full of supplies. He was just worrying about the lack of ammunition and food, and the Japanese immediately delivered them to him. Without further ado, he immediately ordered the troops to move as much as they could and to withdraw as soon as they had moved.

After moving the supplies from this big house, a team member discovered that there were many Japanese soldiers in the yard of another big room. He immediately reported it to Wulang.

Wu Lang looked at his watch and saw that the battle had already lasted for an hour and a half. He waved his hand and said:

"He who is content is always happy. Retreat, immediately and in turns retreat!"

When Lieutenant Colonel Hebian returned with a large army, he saw the bodies of imperial soldiers all over the ground, and there was no sign of any member of the devil army.
