Devil's Army

A battalion commander originally wanted to capture members of the royal family and exchange them for some supplies from the puppet Manchukuo government.

Who knew that this princess was canonized and was not of royal blood at all.

Although the scale of this battle was not large, it marked the beginning of the joint operations between the First Front Army and the Second Front Army.

After interrogation, the battalion commander discovered that Captain Guo graduated from the Northeast Army Military Academy. He also fought with him and found that his military quality was not low.

The soldiers all spoke highly of him: he was upright, loved the people, and had a strong sense of justice. He came to serve as a puppet soldier because his best friend, Captain Wang, changed his flag and he was forced to switch sides.

He was depressed for a while because of this. Later, he was brainwashed by his best friend's indirect way of saving the country, and he willingly became the captain of the first brigade of the Royal Guard.

Captain Guo was taken to the temporary brigade headquarters of the 5th Brigade of Qinglong County by the commander of the first battalion.

After hearing the introduction of the first battalion commander, the fifth brigade commander also felt a sense of appreciation for the talent. He wanted Captain Guo and his men to join the First Anti-Japanese Army and lead the troops to fight against the Japanese.

Captain Guo said that the Japanese were using their advanced technology to help us build a sphere of co-prosperity.

After hearing this, the Fifth Brigade Commander asked back:

"Do you own a house?"

"The emperor has bestowed upon me a small courtyard."

"If we attack Xinjing, we will confiscate your courtyard and all the property in it. Since there are still many homeless people in Xinjing, I will let them live in the courtyard with your wife and children."

"That's my yard. Why should I give it to those homeless people?"

"This is our Chinese territory. Why should the Japanese build a so-called co-prosperity sphere with us?"

Seeing that Captain Guo seemed to be thinking about something, the Fifth Brigade Commander continued:

"Japan is a tiny country with little land and few resources. They want to annex our Chinese territory under the guise of establishing a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and make us Chinese people slaves for generations. You are living in a high-ranking position now and cannot understand this feeling. If your descendants are made slaves, would you be willing?"

Captain Guo shook his head.

"Well, I'll send you to our old base. You can see how the people in our base live. Then think about how the people under your rule live. Then decide whether you want to join our First Anti-Japanese Army?"

The next morning, the commander of the Fifth Brigade arranged a platoon of soldiers to drive a truck to take Captain Guo, several captains of his guard team, and the canonized princess to the Oroqen tribe.

Commander Leng Feng was away, so Deputy Commander Zhang Junxi (Jackal) summoned them.

Deputy Commander Zhang received a telegram from the Fifth Brigade Commander, granting them special permission to move freely in the tribe. However, they were not allowed to go to the woods on the right side of the tribe, as there was poisonous miasma there. They were also not allowed to leave the tribe.

Captain Guo was originally a criminal, so he was naturally flattered by Deputy Commander Zhang's tolerance and thanked him repeatedly!

When Gege was first taken to the Oroqen tribe, she thought she was going to be executed and was extremely worried.

Later, she heard from Captain Guo that she could move freely in the tribe, so she asked Captain Guo to take her for a walk in the tribe.

Soon Gege was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the tribe.

Captain Guo shook his head and followed behind, but he was soon attracted by the lives of the people in the tribe.

The people here live a comfortable and warm life. People they meet constantly greet them with a smile.

Those who hum songs while farming, those who make handmade jewelry to folk songs...

It was a beautiful scene of paradise. There was no trace of the smoke of war. There were no beggars who were displaced and begging everywhere in Xinjing.

In the evening, Deputy Commander Zhang invited Captain Guo and others to dinner.

During the dinner, Deputy Commander Zhang asked Captain Guo:

"What do you think? Is our paradise better built, or is your Greater East Asia Community better?"

"It's because you built this paradise well." Captain Guo answered cautiously.

"It's still the best here!" After playing for most of the day, Gege no longer felt the nervousness and worry she had when she first came here.

"Although the Japanese would not do anything to us, they were still very cruel to most Chinese people, and would kill people if they were unhappy. I personally saw several civilians being stabbed to death by the Japanese on the street."

"Is there such a thing?" Deputy Commander Zhang asked Captain Guo.

"It's true." Captain Guo nodded in response.

"Burning, killing and looting in other people's homes, is this what the Japanese call the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?"

Captain Guo was speechless, he knew he had been misled by his best friend.

He stood at attention and said to Deputy Commander Zhang:

"Deputy Commander Zhang, I, Guo Yimin, am also a man of integrity and will never again be a traitor who sells out his master for fame and fortune. If there is anything you need from me, just let me know."

"Okay, the Fifth Brigade Commander said that you were too deeply poisoned. I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. Not bad! He does have a mission for you."
