Devil's Army

After the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinjing retreated, the Japanese troops in Siping City were already at the end of their strength.

The special operations team and the second escort battalion on Yuelong Ridge launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops in Siping City at the foot of the hill.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the First Army and the Second Battalion of the Guard jointly wiped out the Japanese troops in Siping City.

Li Hongmei and her colleagues also brought the families of the escort team down the mountain and came to the side of Brigade Commander Baron.

The widow of a squad leader of the guard team lay in front of the man and burst into tears.

The widow of another guard came with her child and stayed in front of her husband, crying non-stop. She murmured:

"How are we going to live our lives from now on?"

Li Hongmei stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder and said:

"I'll go back and ask our captain if your man can be named a martyr. If he is, the army will give you a pension, but you still have to live your life."

Captain Lin came down the mountain and came to the side of Brigadier General Baron, saluted and said:

"Hello, Brigadier General Baron!"

"Hello!" Barron replied.

"Brigade Commander Baron, you keep saying that there are no enemy fighters in the base area. Have you had enough today?"

"I fought several battles with the Japanese in Changtu County a few months ago. I wanted to take over Siping City, but the army commander disagreed, saying that the time was not right yet."

"When I passed through Siping City, I saw that the defense there was very tight. There were at least 2000 Japanese and puppet troops guarding every bridge and pass."

At this time, Captain Hu also came over.

Captain Lin pointed at Baron and introduced him:

"Captain Hu, this is the commander of our First Anti-Japanese Army Independent Brigade, Barun. He is a tough Oroqen. The people under his command are good at fighting and have fought many fierce battles."

"Hello, Brigadier General Baron!"

"Brigadier Baron, he is Captain Hu Tiejun of the Second Battalion of the Royal Guard."

"Captain Hu, you are welcome to join us in fighting the Japanese. Captain Lin just said that we are good at fighting and have fought many fierce battles, but that was just bragging. Among the nine brigades, our brigade has always been responsible for the security of the base area and has fought the least fierce battles."

"Didn't you fight a fierce battle this time and help pave the way for us back to the base?" Captain Lin asked with a smile.

"There wasn't a fierce battle, but we did build a new road. Now let's all go back to the base to avoid the Japanese and puppet troops in Xinjing chasing us."

Brigade Commander Baron led everyone towards Changtu County.

At this time, the Japanese army in Xinjing had dispatched a battalion and more than 1000 puppet troops to reinforce Siping City.

When Captain Hu was preparing to advance with his large troops, he found that most of the trucks had been destroyed in this battle.

After tinkering with it for a while, the car soldiers assembled eight drivable trucks.

Captain Hu ordered the motor vehicle soldiers to transfer all the diesel from the trucks that could not be driven to these eight trucks, and reserved a truck for the families of the escort team to sit in.

Barun's mobile company and direct battalion led the way, while Captain Lin's Eighth Squadron was responsible for the rear. The large force marched towards Changtu County in a mighty manner.

Since the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade was still feinting an attack on Siping City, where heavy Japanese and puppet troops were stationed, the small towns around Siping City to Changtu County had already been cleared out by the troops of the Independent Brigade.

Baron's large force had a smooth journey back.

It was dark, and since the Japanese and puppet troops had just been cleared along this road, Brigade Commander Baron was worried about being attacked by the remaining Japanese and puppet troops at night, so he ordered the troops to spend the night in Shanmen Town.

The troops of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Brigade just captured Shanmen Town today. They haven't had time to clean up yet, and the town is littered with broken bricks and tiles.

Brigadier General Baron asked the women's special forces to live with the families of the guards in the town mansion, and also arranged for a special forces team to be stationed nearby.

The majority of the troops were crowded into the Japanese puppet army camp in Zhenri.

The next morning, after more than three hours of bumpy ride, the large group finally arrived safely in Changtu County.

Some officers and soldiers of Brigade Commander Baron's regiment remained in Changtu County.

The women's special forces team, the 8th squadron of the special forces team, and the military dependents of the escort team all drove to the Oroqen tribe.

Captain Hu's Second Guard Battalion was preparing to move from Shanhaiguan to Qinglong County to meet up with Captain Guo's First Guard Battalion.

Li Hongmei brought the families of the escort team back to the Oroqen tribe, where Leng Feng and Hu Lang were already waiting.

After a brief welcome ceremony, Leng Feng asked the logistics staff to arrange accommodation for these family members.

Li Hongmei asked Jackal nervously:

"Deputy Captain, among the families of the escort team, two men died in the battle. Can they be rated as martyrs and enjoy the treatment of our First Army martyrs?"

"Yes, they have been our soldiers since the moment they turned from darkness to light, and their sacrifice makes them martyrs. Not only the two of them, but also the other guards whose families are not here are martyrs, and their families can also enjoy the treatment of martyrs." Leng Feng took over and said.

After Li Hongmei saluted Leng Feng and Jackal, she ran away happily. She wanted to tell the older sister the good news as soon as possible.
