Devil's Army

A team member immediately returned to the city to tell Captain Xiao that Captain Lin and his team had already set off with Mrs. Guo and the others.

Captain Xiao asked this team member to take the 40-odd team members he brought with him out of the city to chase Captain Lin and his team. He stayed behind to confront Captain Hu of the Second Battalion.

During dinner, Captain Xiao took Captain Hu to the team headquarters, closed the door and ate together.

"It's just a meal, why make it so mysterious?" Captain Hu asked doubtfully.

"Captain Hu, I didn't tell the truth. In fact, your second brother was not surrounded by the devil's army."

(Captain Hu, Captain Guo and Captain Wang are sworn brothers. Captain Hu is the youngest, the third oldest, and Captain Guo is the second oldest.)

"My second brother is not in danger, why is my eldest brother rushing to ask me to save him?" Captain Hu asked puzzledly.

"Captain Hu, are you willing to help the devils bully us Chinese?"

"Didn't Big Brother say that we are now saving the country in a roundabout way, using Japan's advanced technology to build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere?"

"Do you really believe these self-deceiving lies?" Captain Xiao asked, staring into Captain Hu's eyes.

"Alas! We are outnumbered, what can we do?" Captain Hu finally sighed.

"The most ferocious army fighting the Japanese invaders in Northeast China is the First Anti-Japanese Army, which is also known as the devil army by the Japanese invaders. My second brother wants to join them and fight the Japanese invaders together."

Captain Hu was startled when he heard this. He quickly stood up and looked out the door, and whispered:

"You can't just say that. You'll lose your head. Did my second brother really say that?"

"Captain Guo not only said this, he also did this." Captain Xiao puffed out his chest and responded in a low voice.

Although his second brother discussed this issue with him when they were drinking together, it was always just a discussion and no action was taken.

Seeing that Captain Hu did not resist his suggestion, Captain Xiao hurriedly handed Captain Hu the letter written by Captain Guo.

In the letter, Captain Guo described the happy and peaceful life of the people in the base of the First Anti-Japanese Army, and also described the brutality and ruthlessness of the Japanese army. He said frankly that he did not want his descendants to become slaves of a conquered country.

After seeing this, Captain Hu was so upset that he could not calm down for a long time and immediately decided to follow Captain Guo in the uprising.

Captain Xiao immediately asked Captain Hu to evacuate all the family members of the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion in Xinjing City to avoid being implicated.

And tell Captain Hu that the family members of the First Brigade had all evacuated Xinjing City during the day today.

Captain Hu pointed at Captain Xiao and pretended to curse:

"You actually did so many things right under the noses of Captain Wang and me?"

Then he continued:

"Most of the officers and soldiers in my Second Battalion and my second brother's First Battalion came from Fengtian. There are not many local family members, so it is easier to deal with them."

Then he quietly called a small team leader over.

After the first team leader came in, Captain Hu gave him a secret order: tonight, all the family members of the second team in Xinjing City should be gathered at his home, and they should be sent out with the troops tomorrow morning, but they should not be made public, especially not to Captain Wang's people.

Although the team leader had no idea what Captain Hu was up to, he still faithfully carried out his orders.

When a family member of the Second Battalion rushed to Captain Hu's home, he ran into Captain Wang's confidant.

The confidant asked curiously:

"Mrs. Chen, why are you rushing there in such a hurry?"

Mrs. Chen was startled, and after a pause she replied:

"Let's go to Mrs. Guo's house to play cards. We are short one."

"Do you need to bring your kids along to play cards?"

"I can tell from one glance that you haven't got a family yet. Why don't you bring him with you and leave him at home to ruin your family?" Mrs. Chen waved the handkerchief in her hand and scolded.

"Yes, yes, we still need Mrs. Chen to help us," the confidant said angrily.

"Which girl would be interested in you if you're just idle? Come on, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to play cards."

After saying that, Mrs. Chen's high heels went away with the sound of "dong dong dong..."

The confidant looked at Mrs. Chen's receding back, spat and cursed, "Fox spirit!"

When Mrs. Chen saw that the confidant did not catch up, she pulled her child and ran towards Captain Hu's house, making "dong dong dong..."

When we arrived at Captain Hu's home, the other eight team members and their families were already there.

Mrs. Hu reproached:

"Lijuan, you don't live far away, why are you taking so long?"

"Don't say any more. I ran into Liu Matou when I was leaving the house just now. I almost got into trouble. Fortunately, I was quick-witted and asked you to play cards with me."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Captain Hu returned home. The women surrounded him and asked what happened and where their men were.

Captain Hu told everyone seriously that something serious was going to happen, and that you should all stay here tonight and not go anywhere. All of your men had already returned to their homes.
