Devil's Army

Battalion Commander Zhang said this to Captain Chen, then took the soldiers with him and set off.

Captain Chen, still a little worried, stood at the entrance of the camp and looked towards Tianya Village.

Secretary Yu came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"You should go back to training. Do you think your combat capability is stronger than Captain Zhang and his men?"

Captain Chen participated in the battle to destroy the Japanese radar bombs together with Battalion Commander Zhang.

The soldiers in Captain Zhang's unit not only have accurate shooting skills, but also have good coordination with each other.

The guns, manpower and combat effectiveness of their Ya County guerrillas are simply no match for Captain Zhang and his men.

As we approached Tianya Village, sporadic gunshots were heard from the village from time to time.

Battalion Commander Zhang asked the soldiers to arrange for the Golden Eagle drone to patrol at the intersections at both ends of Tianya Village.

He led his soldiers and quickly approached Tianya Village.

Arriving at the entrance of Tianya Village, two Japanese sentinels saw Captain Zhang in the uniform of a naval lieutenant and saluted him:

"Lieutenant, we're searching for guerrillas."

"Gather immediately. We have found traces of guerrillas ahead. We are short of manpower. Come with us to encircle and suppress them."

The sentry blew the assembly whistle, and soon all the Japanese troops who were wreaking havoc in Tianya Village ran out.

"Hello, Lieutenant. I am Captain Yoshino of the Third Squadron of the Second Squadron of the Hainan Island Base Team of the Japanese Navy. May I ask who you are?"

The Japanese squad leader hurried over, saluted Captain Zhang and asked.

"We are from the 16rd Squadron of the th Guard Brigade of Sanya Airport. We have found traces of guerrillas in the woods ahead. Gather your troops immediately and join us in encircling and suppressing them.

Japanese Squad Leader Yoshino gathered his troops without saying anything, but he felt that the soldiers of the third squadron looked at them in a strange way.

The Yoshino squad lined up in three teams in front of Battalion Commander Zhang, waiting for orders from the squadron leader.

Battalion Commander Zhang nodded, waved his hand, and stepped aside.

The soldiers of the Hainan Island Independent Battalion immediately opened fire at the Japanese troops lined up in front of them.

The Japanese soldiers in the front row were shot and fell one after another, and the Japanese soldiers in the back row quickly raised their guns to fight back.

The soldiers of the independent battalion who were watching on both sides immediately raised their guns and fired, knocking down the Japanese soldiers in the back row.

In less than ten minutes, all 42 Japanese soldiers in Yoshino's squad were knocked down, while only four soldiers of Captain Zhang's independent battalion were injured.

Battalion Commander Zhang asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield quickly, and he and two soldiers went into Tianya Village to find the village chief.

When the villagers saw the Japanese troops coming back, they became panicked again.

"Don't be afraid, we are from the Hainan Island Independent Battalion. I want to discuss something with your village chief."

When the villagers saw that Captain Zhang was speaking Chinese, they stopped panicking.

A brave villager even led Captain Zhang to the old village chief's home.

When he saw the old village chief, Captain Zhang, he told him:

"We have wiped out this Japanese search team here. They will definitely not give up. Send people to stand guard at the entrance of the village. If you find any Japanese, tell the villagers to move away immediately."

When Captain Zhang returned to the village entrance, the soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield and were sitting nearby waiting.

Battalion Commander Zhang pointed at the bodies of the Japanese soldiers on the ground and scolded the soldiers:

"You losers, don't you need to clean these military uniforms and boots?"

The soldiers smiled and quickly stood up and cleaned the uniforms and boots off the Japanese bodies.

At this time, Captain Zhang saw the old village chief and two young men following timidly behind.

"Old village chief, what else do you want?"

"Sir, I think you are a good man. The devils may come here at any time. Can you take my two grandsons away?"

"Row."

At this time, a soldier nearby introduced to the old village chief:

"Old village chief, he is Captain Zhang of our Hainan Island Independent Battalion."

The old village chief hurriedly shouted to his two grandsons:

"Why don't you thank Captain Zhang!"

The two grandsons of the old village chief hurriedly thanked Captain Zhang.

"Old village chief, the Japanese don't treat us as human beings. The only way for us to survive is to take up arms and fight them. We have just been established, and the army is short of people. Do you see any young people in the village who are willing to join the army? Tell them and I will take them to fight the Japanese together."

"Okay, Xiaolong, go call all the young people in the village over. I want to talk to you."

"Okay." A smaller man responded and turned around and ran back to the village.

After a while, a large group of men and women followed Xiaolong to the village entrance.

"Fellow villagers, Captain Zhang's army has just been established. They want to recruit some people to join the army to fight the Japanese. Are you willing?"

The villagers all looked at Captain Zhang at the same time.
