Devil's Army

Captain Yao arrived at the headquarters of the regiment commander, who was still in a meeting with other officers.

After the briefing, Captain Yao entered the meeting room.

When the regiment commander saw Captain Yao coming in, he immediately said to him:

"Captain Yao, you came at the right time. We have just reached a consensus and decided to retake Fengzhen City, but the combat missions have not yet been assigned."

"Then what is the mission of our cavalry detachment?"

"Your cavalry detachment will attack the west gate of Fengzhen City. I will arrange for the mortar troops to cooperate with you. After the main force of the Japanese army is transferred by you, our third battalion will attack the north gate of Fengzhen City."

"You mean our cavalry detachment is making a feint attack? How long will the feint last?"

"Yes, we just need to attract the main force of the Japanese army. I estimate that the battle can be resolved in two to three hours."

"When to act?"

"It's past three o'clock now. Go back after dinner and launch the attack at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

After the combat meeting, it was not yet time for dinner, so the regiment commander accompanied Captain Yao for a walk in the barracks.

Captain Yao spotted the "Kuaishou" tank parked in the barracks. He walked up quickly, greedily stroking the tank's shell, and asked:

"Is this the main battle tank of your tank battalion?"

"Yes."

"Captain Li, do you think the Japanese will attack our Liangcheng County again?"

"You must have a clue in your mind, and it will happen again."

Captain Yao nodded.

The captain continued:

"During this attack, the Japanese suffered from their arrogance and carelessness, and were bombed by both our aviation and artillery. The captain was also killed in the bombing, so they had to retreat."

"I just came from Shengli Road. You guys built this road very well. With your support, we are more confident in defending Liangcheng County."

"There aren't many Japanese and puppet troops in Fengzhen City, only about 400 to 500 in total. Your cavalry can break through quickly, so we need you to pin down the main force of the Japanese. Then we will attack from the north gate. We estimate that we can recapture Fengzhen City soon."

"Fengzhen City has been recovered. Our Liangcheng County and your Xinghe County and Chahar Right Front Banner are now connected. The importance of Shengli Road has been relegated to the second place."

"Yes, we need to make extra preparations. If the Japanese troops in Zhuozi County attack Shengli Road, our way to help you will be blocked."

"Captain, you think ahead."

"In war, you have to consider all factors. You have to think about them."

"Captain, dinner is ready," the guard came over and called out.

"Come on, Captain Yao, let's eat first and talk while we eat." The regiment commander called out.

During dinner, Captain Yao saw that the food here was much better than that of their Eighth Route Army.

Captain Yao originally thought that this dish was specially added to entertain him, but when he looked at the food of the soldiers of the First Army around him, it was the same as theirs.

The regiment commander saw all of this. He said to Captain Yao:

"We are still relatively short of supplies, but if the soldiers do not take in enough nutrition, it will be difficult for them to keep up with the arduous combat missions."

"Captain Li said that after our cavalry detachment completes the feint attack, we will stay here to enjoy the feast?"

"Welcome! We have a strong base and the logistics support can keep up. Even if your entire detachment comes, we can afford it."

Captain Yao laughed, because he knew that Captain Li was joking. It was impossible for him to empty the entire Liangcheng County just for a meal.
