Devil's Army

It was four days later that Fox Wolf returned to the Oroqen tribe. During this time, Leng Feng arranged for the Korean Japanese army to dig through the tunnel leading to the bottom of the mountain and expand it. Four-fifths of the tunnel is already large enough for a truck to pass through. It will take another half day to dig through the one-fifth section leading to the glass factory and the tunnel will be fully open to traffic.

At 1:30 pm, the tunnel was dug and could be used directly by traffic, but vehicles could not pass each other in the tunnel.

Leng Feng directly let the Korean Japanese troops rest. Next, he will dig a hole for hiding troops every 200 meters in the tunnel. It can be used for vehicles to pass in the tunnel in normal times, and troops can be deployed to block the enemy in wartime.

He ordered his soldiers to place a large amount of explosives near the tunnel entrance and installed two independent detonation systems. If the Japanese found the tunnel entrance, he could also detonate the explosives and blow it down.

Gray Wolf's work achievements during this period were also quite remarkable. Not only did he recruit more than 200 new soldiers, he also brought back an anti-Japanese volunteer army of more than 800 people.

At the beginning, although this anti-Japanese volunteer army had heard of the name of the Devil's Army, they were not willing to merge with it.

Gray Wolf said that Rehe would be completely lost in early March, and they would lose their rear base to maneuver. The supply of food, ammunition and other materials would be cut off. By then, their survival would be a problem, not to mention their development and growth.

Captain Liu of the anti-Japanese volunteer army was skeptical about what Gray Wolf said.

Gray Wolf then said to Captain Liu, "You have more than 800 people now. If Rehe is not lost by March, I will give you a regiment's worth of equipment. You can first visit our tribe and then decide whether to stay or go."

Only then did Captain Liu agree to stay in the tribe for a few days.

The day after Captain Liu led the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army to the tribe, he agreed to merge with them. He admitted that Gray Wolf's troops were the most motivated, the most powerful, and the best equipped troops he had ever seen. It was worry-free to fight with such troops.

Fox Wolf arrived at the operations room, where Leng Feng, Gray Wolf and Wen Wolf were discussing the issue of troop transformation.

Wen Lang thought that with the addition of Wang Zhuangfei's Fourth Battalion, there were now more than 6,000 troops in the tribe, so he suggested selecting a group of elite soldiers to form a special operations team. The other troops would be organized into a brigade with four regiments under it.

Leng Feng believed that a major war was imminent and that any major changes to the troops would be detrimental to command, so he decided to wait until the Rehe Campaign was over before deciding based on the situation.

"Captain, are you ready to fight the Japanese?" Gray Wolf asked Leng Feng.

"The Japanese sent so many people to attack Rehe, it would be unreasonable for us not to show our support."

"Where are you going to attack?" Gray Wolf asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Leng Feng lit a cigarette and continued.

Gray Wolf nodded, agreeing with Leng Feng's decision not to make major adjustments to the troops for the time being.

Finally, everyone decided to select 800 of the more than 1,100 new recruits and evenly distribute them to the first, third, fourth, fifth, and fifth independent battalions, and then select 800 veterans from these five battalions and the remaining more than 300 new recruits to form the sixth battalion. Liu Yaohua, a former member of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, was appointed as the captain of the sixth battalion. He Guihua, the former captain of the Hejiazhai guerrillas, was appointed as the deputy captain.

Gray Wolf was worried that He Guihua was not capable enough to do the job.

Leng Feng believed that after several months of fighting, He Guihua had grown from a green guerrilla fighter to a calm battlefield commander. Although her abilities were still somewhat lacking, they could be improved in battle. Moreover, Liu Yaohua was an experienced commander. They would definitely be able to lead the Sixth Battalion well.

The organization of the troops was finalized, and Leng Feng asked Fox Wolf how the trip went.

The fox wolf took another sip of tea and said with a smile, "It lives up to expectations."

Wenlang came over and asked:

"How many boxes of penicillin did Brigade Commander Wang order? Which brother unit helped us order penicillin and alcohol?"

"Take your time. Look how anxious you are." The fox wolf said with a smile.

"How could he not be anxious? With such a large family, what does eating, drinking, defecating and urinating cost money? He has to worry about everything. When we build the arsenal next, it's not just spending money, it's burning money."

After hearing this, Fox Wolf said quickly: "Brigade Commander Wang and Commander Sun of the 41st Army each ordered five boxes of penicillin, and Commander Sun also ordered another 1 bottles of alcohol."

"How many truckloads of food can I exchange for these ten boxes of penicillin and 1 bottles of alcohol?" asked Gray Wolf.

"Brigade Commander Wang used six truckloads of food and gasoline to exchange for these five boxes of penicillin, and Army Commander Sun used eight truckloads of food to exchange for these five boxes of penicillin and 1 bottles of alcohol."

"Of course, you kid even thought of exchanging some gasoline. A few days ago, Hairy Wolf told me that gasoline was running low." Gray Wolf patted Fox Wolf on the shoulder and said.

"You stay in the army all day long, how can you not know what the army needs? You are not an outsider." said the fox wolf.

Leng Feng also smiled. These brothers saved him a lot of worry.

Leng Feng suddenly thought of something and asked, "The Commander Sun you are talking about is the Commander Sun of the 41st Army of the Northwest Army?"

"Yes."

"Then try to get another penicillin before the Chifeng battle begins. This tomb robber is rich. Don't let him take the money and defect to the Japanese."

Everyone laughed. Then Gray Wolf asked Leng Feng: "Will there be an inauguration ceremony for the establishment of the Sixth Squadron?"

"Open. Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, hold the establishment ceremony of the Sixth Brigade on the playground. It will boost morale. You will take care of this matter."

The trip had to start early tomorrow morning, and time was too tight, so the gray wolf turned around and left immediately.

The next morning, with the sound of a loud military bugle call, the troops marched in neat steps to the playground and lined up. In the middle of the playground, the fifteen characters "The Founding Ceremony of the Sixth Battalion of the Chinese Wolf Special Forces" were written in brush.

The tribesmen and children, who lacked entertainment activities, also gathered around the playground to watch the fun.

Leng Feng, the captains of each brigade, and Miao Xieling stood in the middle of the playground. Leng Feng solemnly declared: The Sixth Brigade of the Chinese Wolf Special Forces was established from today.

There was prolonged applause in the playground.

Then Leng Feng read out the personnel appointments of the captain, deputy captain, squadron leader and team leader of the Sixth Battalion.

Finally, Leng Feng solemnly handed the team flag of the Sixth Brigade, which he had made overnight, to Liu Yaohua.

Liu Yaohua took the flag with both hands, grabbed the two corners and threw it. The bright red flag fluttered in the cold wind.
