Devil's Army

A puppet soldier on duty at the South Gate of Xinjing saw Captain Xiao and greeted him:

"Brother Xiao, you're back? Why didn't you see Brother Guo?"

"He has something else to do and can't come back for the time being."

"Brother Xiao, those brothers look unfamiliar to me. Who are they?"

"In Quantou Town, we met puppet soldiers who were defeated by the devil troops, and they followed us to Xinjing."

After entering Xinjing, Captain Xiao arranged for several team members to accompany Li Hongmei and others to lobby the families of their guard team to withdraw, while he went to meet the captain-in-chief.

The captain went to the Japanese military headquarters, and Captain Xiao followed him.

When he met Captain Wang, Captain Xiao asked directly:

"Captain, Captain Guo has been surrounded by the devil's army. Please send the second battalion for support."

Captain Wang did not reply. He only had three battalions. Guo Yimin's first battalion was surrounded, and now Hu Dezhi's second battalion was also thrown in. He only had the third battalion with weaker combat effectiveness.

But the Japanese ignored him and kept urging him to send reinforcements as soon as possible.

Helplessly, Captain Wang had to agree to let Captain Hu of the Second Battalion go south with Captain Xiao to provide reinforcements.

When Captain Xiao went to meet Captain Wang, two team members also took Li Hongmei and others to persuade their relatives to evacuate Xinjing.

Most of the relatives knew these two guards. They were Captain Guo’s trusted guards and often accompanied Captain Guo to visit the homes of these team leaders.

They also packed up their things quickly, ready to evacuate with Li Hongmei and the others.

However, Captain Guo's wife and the family of another team member did not believe what the two team members said and insisted on waiting for Captain Guo or that team member to say so in person before they would retreat.

Captain Xiao was very nervous when he heard the team members' report. He immediately rushed over to tell Captain Guo's wife about the retreat. He said anxiously:

"Sister-in-law, Brother Guo and I are not brothers by blood, but we are better than brothers. Let me tell you straight, Brother Guo is going to join the First Anti-Japanese Army and fight the Japanese together with them. And you are his biggest concern, so he asked me to come here to help you evacuate Xinjing first."

Captain Xiao and his man often drink and complain together.

Captain Guo’s wife finally believed it and quickly packed up to evacuate Xinjing.

Who knew that when he went out, he met Captain Wang's confidant. He asked in a sarcastic tone:

"Captain Xiao, what are you doing at Captain Guo's house?"

"What can I do in my eldest brother's house? Don't be so dirty-minded. My eldest brother has been away fighting for so long, and he dragged me here to tell my sister-in-law that he is safe."

"Peace, peace, everything is safe." After saying this, he left with bad intentions.

When Captain Xiao saw that no one was following them, he quickly asked Li Hongmei and the others to take Mrs. Guo and the two children out of the city with their luggage. He rushed to persuade another family that was unwilling to evacuate.

Captain Xiao was her man's superior, and he took over and persuaded her to retreat. She had no reason not to believe him.

She simply packed her luggage and quickly left the city with two female special forces members.

Captain Xiao also quickly returned to the escort battalion headquarters and found Captain Hu of the second battalion of the escort team.

At this time, Captain Hu had already received orders from Captain Wang and was ready to set off early tomorrow morning.

As soon as he saw Captain Xiao, he asked:

"How is it, is my second brother safe?"

"Right now, my second brother is guarding inside Longwangmiao Town, so there is no danger for the time being. But if we go there too late, we won't know what will happen."

"We will set out at six tomorrow morning. The captain has allocated a truck for us."

Li Hongmei, along with a female special forces member dressed in plain clothes, took Mrs. Guo and their two children and hurried out of the city.

A puppet soldier at the city gate asked flatteringly:

"Hello, sister-in-law! Where are you going in such a hurry with your child?"

"Yimin's father fell down and sent someone to say hello. I'm fine now, so I'll take the two kids to see him," Mrs. Guo pointed at Li Hongmei and replied.

"The captain's family is so handsome. When will sister-in-law help me find a match?" the puppet soldier said to Li Hongmei.

"Earn some more money, and come back and I'll find you a date."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" the puppet soldier saluted Mrs. Guo and said.

Everyone successfully left the city gate and met Captain Lin and his team outside the city. The female special forces member with Li Hongmei couldn't hold back any longer, she held her stomach and laughed out loud.

Mrs. Guo and Captain Lin both looked at her strangely.

He panted and continued to speak intermittently:

"That, that sharp-nosed and monkey-faced guy of his, wants to marry our captain? Hahaha..."

Everyone started laughing when they heard it.

As the relatives of the last team member left the south gate of Xinjing, Captain Lin immediately led everyone out.
