Devil's Army

The third battalion commander and his men entered Shangdu County and soon discovered a Japanese checkpoint.

After observation, it was found that there were five Japanese soldiers and a squad of puppet soldiers at this checkpoint.

As it was not yet fully light, the Japanese soldiers were still dozing off, while the puppet soldiers were yawning and pretending to stand guard.

Once these five Japanese soldiers are dealt with, the puppet troops will be easy to deal with.

When the commander of the second company of the third battalion was about to take action, a Japanese patrol team rushed over.

The puppet army saluted the Japanese patrol team. The leader of the Japanese patrol team chattered at the puppet army squad leader for a while, then turned around and went back to Shangdu County.

After the Japanese patrol left, the second company commander and his soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the puppet army.

The puppet army squad leader turned his head and saw the third battalion commander. He raised his hand quickly and was about to shout in surprise.

The second captain knocked him down with the butt of his rifle and shouted in a low voice:

"No one is allowed to make a sound!"

A soldier nearby quickly supported the fallen puppet army squad leader.

The other puppet soldiers also quickly put down their guns and raised their hands in surrender.

Several other soldiers quickly rushed into the checkpoint and used bayonets to send all five Japanese soldiers who were still sleeping with their eyes closed back home.

After dealing with the devils, the second company commander shouted to several puppet soldiers:

"Take off all your uniforms!"

The weather in early autumn was already a bit chilly, and the puppet soldiers stared blankly at the second company commander, not knowing what he wanted to do.

The company commander thrust his bayonet forward and shouted:

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

The puppet soldiers hurriedly took off their uniforms, fearing that they would be the next person to be stabbed.

The second company commander ordered the soldiers to escort the puppet soldiers in this squad to the rear squad, and the other soldiers quickly changed into puppet and Japanese military uniforms and stood guard at the checkpoint.

There were also some soldiers lying in ambush in the weeds on both sides of the path leading to the checkpoint.

The large force of the Third Battalion quickly passed through the checkpoint and entered Shangdu County.

After daybreak, the Japanese patrol came to the checkpoint again.

The patrol sergeant was very angry when he saw the Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint were still sleeping. He rushed into the checkpoint angrily and kicked the nearest Japanese soldier.

The sergeant kicked a sleeping Japanese soldier, but a bayonet also pierced his chest.

The sergeant cried out a few words in confusion, then drooped his head weakly.

The soldiers of the Second Company, who were lying in ambush in the bushes on both sides of the checkpoint, had already rushed up, stabbing at the Japanese patrol with their shining bayonets.

Before a single shot was fired, the Japanese patrol was killed by the soldiers of the Second Company who were ambushed on both sides.

At this time, the main force of the third battalion had arrived near the south gate of Shangdu County.

The third battalion commander did not order a violent attack on Shangdu County, but waited quietly for the Japanese army to open the city gate before attacking.

Nearing 8 o'clock, some ordinary people who were preparing to enter the city gathered at the south gate of Shangdu County.

Some soldiers from the Third Battalion also carried pistols and grenades and mingled with the civilians.

After the city gates were opened, people rushed into and out of the city.

The camouflaged soldiers followed into the city slowly and cautiously.

Several puppet soldiers also discovered that the disguised soldiers were different from other civilians and came over to check.

At this time, most of the people entering and leaving the city dispersed.

Three puppet soldiers walked up to the disguised soldiers and were about to question them, but the soldiers quickly took out their pistols and shot each of them.

He then raised his gun and shot at the Japanese soldiers who were checking at the city gate.

As soon as the disguised soldiers fired their guns, the soldiers of the second company of the third battalion outside the city immediately fired at the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall.
