Devil's Army

That afternoon, Yuan Wanting was helping Guo Liang check on his wound recovery in the hospital when a guard came in to report that Captain Leng had asked her to go to the operations room.

"Okay, you go first, I'll be there soon." Yuan Wanting replied.

After checking Guo Liang’s wound, Yuan Wanting came to the operations room.

In the operations room, Leng Feng, Gray Wolf, Wen Wolf, and Fox Wolf were sitting inside and discussing something.

"Report, after experiments, this batch of penicillin fully meets medical standards and can be used in actual combat." Yuan Wanting said as soon as she entered the operations room.

"How do you know what we are going to ask you?" Leng Feng asked with a smile.

"Are you asking me if I've had lunch? You're just using those five Korean soldiers as a test subject to see if we can extract penicillin successfully."

"Come, sit down." Wen Lang felt guilty and moved a chair to Yuan Wanting.

"Because this medicine is used to cure diseases and save lives, although I have tested it several times in the laboratory and found that it definitely does not contain patulin. But since no wounded soldier has tried it personally, I always feel a little uneasy." Wen Lang said frankly.

"Judging from the recovery of the wounds of these five people, this medicine does not contain patulin and can be put into practical use," Yuan Wanting said directly.

"That's good, we now have another way to make money." Leng Feng said happily.

"Fox Wolf, go to the Rehe 7th Brigade Headquarters now and deliver these two boxes of penicillin to Brigade Commander Wang. See if you can place an order. Also, Brigade Commander Wang asked us to contact a brother brigade to order disinfectant alcohol. See if there is any follow-up."

"Okay," the fox wolf replied.

"Remember, we are not exchanging money this time, but food. They have the support of the government, and they have sufficient food and ammunition. We have more troops now, and the food pressure is getting greater and greater. The Rehe Campaign will start in more than 20 days, and by then it will be impossible to exchange food with them."

"Ok"

"By the way, I'd like to tactfully remind them that the Japanese will launch a full-scale battle in Rehe on February 2st, and they should be prepared in advance."

"So I'm leaving right now?"

Leng Feng waved his hand, the fox wolf saluted, and left immediately.

"Wenlang, go to the factory and keep an eye on it. Speed ​​up the production of penicillin and alcohol. We need to stockpile as much food and ammunition as possible before the Rehe Campaign begins."

"Grey Wolf, tomorrow you will arrange for the Anti-Japanese Drama Troupe to tour the villages from Fengtian to Rehe to expand our influence. After the fall of Rehe, the volunteers from all over the Northeast will lose their rear base. The supply of weapons, ammunition, food, and materials will be interrupted. Many volunteers will find it difficult to develop and fall into a trough. We should try our best to attract them to our side and expand our team."

It was already past ten o'clock the next morning when Fox Wolf arrived at the Rehe 7th Brigade Headquarters. Brigade Commander Wang warmly received Fox Wolf.

Fox Wolf handed two boxes of penicillin to Brigade Commander Wang and told him that it was penicillin they produced themselves.

Brigade Commander Wang took the penicillin and opened it. Inside were small medicine bottles. He asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"This is penicillin. It can treat bacterial infections after soldiers are injured. It is known as the 'magic medicine'."

Brigade Commander Wang was surprised. A guerrilla force with only a little fame could produce such a miraculous medicine. It couldn't be boasting.

"Can this medicine really cure bacterial infections?" He knew that once a soldier who was shot on the battlefield was infected with bacteria, there would be only one outcome: death.

"Brigade Commander Wang, I am a Chinese soldier, not a businessman." Fox Wolf responded calmly.

"What a great Chinese soldier! I believe in you!" Brigade Commander Wang decided to give it a try in his own military hospital.

"By the way, last time Commander Wang asked me to contact the brother troops to see if I could buy some alcohol. Is there any progress on this?"

"One of my subordinates, a deputy regiment commander, has contacts with a brigade commander of the 41st Army. I mentioned it to them and they were somewhat interested."

"Oh? From the 41st Army. We can get to know Commander Sun through this brigade commander. The 41st Army has more than soldiers."

"Shall we go together after lunch?"

"Thank you very much, Brigade Commander Wang."

After lunch, Brigade Commander Wang took a box of penicillin and drove to the paddock with the deputy regiment commander and Fox Wolf.

When they arrived at the enclosure, Brigade Commander Wang and Fox Wolf met Commander Sun through the brigade commander.

Fox Wolf asked Commander Sun for disinfectant alcohol and penicillin, and quoted a price slightly lower than the market price.

Commander Sun agreed to order 1 bottles of alcohol. As for penicillin, he was also skeptical.

"Commander Sun, our troops are fighting the Japanese in the enemy's belly. We ask you to provide us with some food and ammunition. You won't refuse, right?"

"Of course. We are all fighting against Japan. It is my duty to do so." Commander Sun said righteously.

"Since Commander Sun has agreed to provide free assistance, why should we produce some fake drugs to fool you, Commander Sun?"

"That's true. Okay, I'll try it in our hospital first. Once it works, I'll call Brigade Commander Wang and let you know how much to order."

"Okay, then Brigade Commander Wang and I will go back first. Please send the penicillin and alcohol over when the time comes."

"Ok."

Fox Wolf and Brigade Commander Wang returned to the 2th Brigade headquarters and stayed there for two days. During this time, Fox Wolf tactfully told Brigade Commander Wang that the Japanese would launch a full-scale attack on Rehe on February 21. But Brigade Commander Wang didn't seem to care much, so he let it go. Just leave it to fate and do your best.

On the afternoon of the third day, the chief physician of the military hospital of Brigade Commander Wang called and told him that the medicine was very effective. The bacteria were suppressed and the wounded no longer had inflammation or pus discharge.

Brigade Commander Wang was very happy to hear this and immediately called Commander Sun of the 41st Army.

Commander Sun was also very happy to hear this and immediately called his military hospital.

Soon the military hospital gave him a positive reply, the effect was quite obvious and useful.

Commander Sun immediately asked Brigade Commander Wang to help him order five boxes of penicillin.

Brigade Commander Wang turned around and told Fox Wolf that he would also order five boxes of penicillin.

Fox Wolf was very happy, having finally completed the task assigned by the captain. He told Brigade Commander Wang that they were now in the belly of the Japanese and food was a bit tight. The captain told him not to exchange money this time, but for food instead.

"Okay, tell me how much food can be exchanged for five boxes of penicillin, and I'll arrange it right away." Brigade Commander Wang responded readily.

The enemy's trucks can carry 1.5 tons. According to Leng Feng's calculation of the price of one dollar for a bottle of penicillin, five boxes of penicillin can be exchanged for nearly five and a half truckloads of food. So Fox Wolf said to Brigade Commander Wang:

"Five boxes of penicillin can be exchanged for five and a half carts of food. We don't have much gasoline, and it's hard to replenish it. Do you think you can exchange it for five carts of food and give us some gasoline?"

"Okay, I'll give you six truckloads of food and gasoline, and the rest will be considered my support for you."

"Thank you very much!" Fox Wolf said, shaking Brigade Commander Wang's hand.

Later, Fox Wolf called General Sun again and said that their troops were short of food. This time, the captain wanted to exchange food with them. He also told General Sun how much food he could exchange for 10,000 bottles of alcohol and five boxes of penicillin. General Sun quickly agreed to it and asked him when the food would be delivered so that he could raise some food.

Fox Wolf thought about it and told him that it would be delivered in about three days, and then Commander Sun hung up the phone.
