Devil's Army

It turned out that the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Guerrillas heard from Secretary Yu that there was an anti-Japanese armed force in Ya County, and came to discuss the issue of joint anti-Japanese resistance.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Japanese search team in Ya County, and a fierce battle ensued between the two sides.

Battalion Commander Zhang was leading his troops back to the secret camp when they suddenly heard fierce gunfire coming from the direction of Ya County.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to release the golden eagle to check the situation.

Soon, intelligence sent back from the Golden Eagle showed that two Japanese search teams were encircling an anti-Japanese armed force not far south of Ya County.

Captain Zhang discovered that the Japanese forces to their north were relatively weak, so he quickly led the third company to launch a surprise attack.

With the support of Captain Zhang and his men, this anti-Japanese armed force quickly broke out of the Japanese encirclement from the north.

The Japanese army was chasing closely behind, but was met with stubborn resistance from the third company's rearguard troops.

Under the leadership of Battalion Commander Zhang, the anti-Japanese armed forces evacuated the Japanese encirclement.

The third company commander also led the rear guard troops and fought while retreating.

The Japanese army rarely caught up with this elusive unit, so how could they easily let the third company commander and his men escape? They desperately chased them regardless of casualties.

The third company tried to escape the Japanese pursuit several times but failed.

Captain Zhang had no choice but to dispatch the Golden Eagle No. 4 drone, which fired fiercely at the pursuing Japanese troops.

The third company commander took the opportunity to lead his soldiers to escape the Japanese pursuit.

After returning to the new camp of the independent battalion, Secretary Yu introduced Captain Xu of the Qiongya Guerrillas to Battalion Commander Zhang.

Captain Xu said to Captain Zhang:

"We have disturbed the Japanese army in Sanya, Hainan Island, and the Japanese army has intensified the encirclement and suppression of Qiongya, Haikou, Lingshui, Baoting, Yaxian and other places. We were forced to move around. Just when I wanted to come to you to join forces to launch a major counterattack against the Japanese army, I was surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army."

"Although we now have a battalion and a half of troops, the headquarters has given us a secret mission. We must now keep a low profile and hide our strength. Every time we go out to attack the Japanese, our troops will not exceed one company."

Captain Xu glanced at Secretary Yu, who shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know about this secret mission either.

"Can we go with you on this secret mission?"

Battalion Commander Zhang glanced at Captain Xu's troops and did not speak. Captain Xu continued:

"Although our Qiongya Battalion is not as strong as your independent battalion, we also have three squadrons. The first squadron came here today, and there are two more squadrons operating near Qiongya."

"I'm not saying that you have few troops, but our mission is very difficult and the sacrifices will be great. We have been preparing for more than a month, and our troops have grown from 1200 to 34 people to more than people now. The headquarters has not approved us to carry out this secret mission."

Captain Xu smiled and continued:

"If we were afraid of death, we would just go back home and farm. Why would we fight against the Japanese?"

"How about this, I'll call the headquarters and see what they think and then I'll give you a reply."

"Okay, then we will train with your troops here during this period?"

"That's no problem. I'll ask Deputy Battalion Commander Hu to make the arrangements."

In the evening, Battalion Commander Zhang received a reply from the Kunming headquarters. Leng Feng agreed that they could carry out the secret mission together with the Qiongya guerrillas, but the military training of the Qiongya guerrillas must be strengthened.

Leng Feng also instructed Battalion Commander Zhang to increase the firepower of the Qiongya guerrillas. They would also airdrop a batch of food and ammunition to the independent battalion.

Battalion Commander Zhang gave the reply from headquarters to Captain Xu.

Captain Xu was very happy after seeing it, but at the same time he also felt a lot of pressure.

They trained with the soldiers of the independent battalion in the afternoon, and he found that their shooting skills were obviously much worse than those of the independent battalion. There was also a big difference in other military qualities.

The Qiongya guerrillas trained with the new recruits for two days. These two days were the most peaceful days in their lives.

There are soldiers from the independent battalion on guard outside, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese suddenly breaking in.

When it was time for lunch, the troops started eating on time, and the food was quite good. But this good life only lasted for two days.

One morning at around 10 o'clock, a sentry hurried over to report to Battalion Commander Zhang that more than 300 Japanese soldiers were found to the east of the new camp, and the search direction was exactly towards their new camp.

This group of searching Japs must be lured away, otherwise even if the troops retreat safely, the Japs will discover their camp.

The company commander quickly came over to ask for battle:

"Commander, it was the third company that carried out the mission last time, this time it's our company's turn."

"Okay, we usually attack the devils in the Ya County area. You can lead this group of devils to Ya County, then turn around and rush back to the new camp."

The company commander saluted Battalion Commander Zhang and turned to leave.

At this time, Battalion Commander Zhang called out to the company commander.
