Devil's Army

Battalion Commander Zhang called to the company commander:

"Bring the golden eagle with you. He has already replenished his ammunition and can save lives if necessary."

"Yes!"

After the first company commander led his troops away, Battalion Commander Zhang ordered the second company to deploy in a defensive posture on the east side to prevent the Japanese from being fooled and continuing to search towards their new camp.

A company commander led his soldiers from outside the forest to the side of the Japanese army and quietly approached the searching Japanese troops.

Several Japanese soldiers in charge of searching the side sensed some unusual movements, and they searched forward cautiously with their guns in hand.

Suddenly, several gunshots were heard and the Japanese soldiers who were searching fell to the ground.

The sound of gunfire was like blood, attracting the bloodthirsty Japanese troops from all around.

The company commander led the soldiers to retreat quickly while blocking the enemy. If they retreated too late, they would probably be surrounded by the Japanese. However, the golden eagle still found that a large number of Japanese were surrounding them from the direction of their retreat.

The company commander led his soldiers to retreat decisively towards Ya County.

The Japanese troops that surrounded the guerrillas from three sides joined together, but did not find the whereabouts of the guerrillas. However, the Japanese soon discovered that the company commander and his men retreated towards Ya County. They quickly adjusted their deployment and surrounded Ya County from all sides.

This time, the Japanese army in Sanya was determined to wipe out the Hainan Island Independent Battalion, so they dispatched a large number of troops to search in several encirclement circles.

The intelligence sent back by the Golden Eagle disappointed the company commander. They were surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides and it was impossible to break through in any direction.

At this time, a platoon leader took the initiative to step forward and volunteered to take on the task of attracting the main force of the Japanese army.

The company commander agreed.

At this time, if they did not attract the Japanese troops on the periphery, they would have no chance of breaking out.

After a while, fierce gunfire and grenade explosions were heard in the north of Ya County, where the military strength was relatively weak.

The Japanese troops on all sides encircled Ya County from the north.

The company commander took off his hat, with tears in his eyes, looked towards the north of Ya County for a while, waved his hand, and led his troops to retreat quickly to the south of Ya County.

A company commander arranged several soldiers to retreat while covering up any traces of their retreat.

While retreating, the company commander kept paying attention to the gunfire to the north of Ya County.

Half an hour later, the gunfire from the north of Ya County became quieter and more sparse. However, the company commander and his men did not stop, but continued to speed up their retreat. This was the retreat path that the platoon leader and his men had paved for them with their lives.

No more gunfire or noise from the devils could be heard, so the company commander ordered the soldiers to stop and sent a golden eagle to investigate the situation.

All around a small mound of earth were densely packed Japanese soldiers' corpses.

On the small hillock, there were the bodies of more than 40 soldiers lying in a row.

The Japanese army has occupied the small slope and is cleaning up the battlefield.

After returning to the new base, the company commander reported to Battalion Commander Zhang with tears in his eyes:

"Reporting to the battalion commander, the first company successfully completed the mission and requested to return to the team with the second and third platoons!"

The company commander specifically emphasized the need to bring the second and third platoons back with him.

Looking at a company missing more than 40 soldiers, how could Captain Zhang not know what had happened?

He didn't say anything, but waved to the company commander and his men, signaling them to go down and rest.

The Japanese army had never searched this forest. If they continued to search on such a large scale, they would find their new camp sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Battalion Commander Zhang asked the signalman to send a telegram to the Kunming headquarters to inform them of their current situation and request the headquarters to instruct them on their next move.

The headquarters quickly replied that they would launch a large-scale operation against the Japanese troops in Sanya to disrupt the Japanese army's large-scale roundup.

With the strong support of the headquarters, Captain Zhang felt relieved.

At around seven o'clock the next morning, the roar of a large number of planes was heard again in the sky over Sanya, Hainan Island.

The fighter planes and bombers of the First Army flew over again to strafe and bomb the Japanese Sanya Airport.

At that time, the Japanese Sanya Airport had not been repaired yet and no planes stayed there.

The First Army's planes turned to strafing and bombing the Japanese defenders at Sanya Airport and surrounding Japanese troops.

The Japanese troops in Sanya were strafed by the First Army's fighter planes and bombed by bombers, suffering heavy casualties.

The Japanese army's originally planned new round of search and arrest operations was also forced to stop.

After the Japanese army's large-scale search operation was forced to stop, the training of the soldiers of the Hainan Island Independent Battalion returned to normal.

At this time, Captain Zhang received another telegram from the Kunming headquarters: a 50-man force will land in two batches from the Sanya Passenger Terminal, asking them to pick them up.

After reading the telegram, Captain Zhang was a little confused.

They had more than 140 people who landed at the dock one after another, but this unit only had 50 people. Why did they have to be divided into two batches?

But the headquarters must have its reasons for making such arrangements.

Battalion Commander Zhang quickly replied: We will ensure that the mission is completed.
