Devil's Army

After lunch, the team members lazily lay in the grass or sat under a tree to bask in the sun and chat about family matters. There was no sense of war at all.

At nearly 2:30 in the afternoon, the jackal hurried over to Leng Feng:

"Captain, the Japanese are coming. A standard reinforced squad. 62 people in total. They are less than 5 kilometers away from here and can be here in less than an hour."

It turned out that this group of Japanese soldiers didn't know that the Japanese squad was annihilated here yesterday. So they searched and advanced along the way. Two villages ahead were destroyed by them again. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when they searched five kilometers ahead of the mountainside.

"We're finally here. Everyone get into position and prepare for battle." Leng Feng ordered into the headset.

"Hua La La" the members of the shooting team quickly jumped into the second trench, and the grenadiers also quickly trotted through the trenches on both sides and entered the first trench to ambush.

"Report to the captain, the first squad's bomb crew is ready." Gray Wolf reported.

"Report to the captain, the first squad's shooting team is ready," Diaolang reported.

"Okay, hide and wait." Leng Feng ordered.

"Wenlang, Wenlang, did you hear me? Did you hear me? If you heard me, please answer." Leng Feng adjusted his headphones and shouted from a distance.

"I heard you, I heard you, Captain." After a while, Wenlang's voice came from the headset.

"The Japs will be here in less than an hour. How's the situation over there?"

"We have everything ready here." Wenlang replied.

"Okay, no matter how fierce the fight gets here, you guys shouldn't get involved. As for when you start, you'll have to decide for yourself."

"Okay, got it." Wenlang replied.

"Relax, don't be nervous. The Japanese will be here in about an hour." Gray Wolf said to He Shitou, who was holding a grenade tightly next to him.

He Shitou loosened his hand that had been tightly holding the grenade and smiled embarrassedly.

"Everyone relax and don't be nervous. Remember the order of throwing bombs. When I say one, everyone pull the safety. When I say two, everyone knock the grenade to the ground and then throw it out. After throwing three rounds in a row, retreat to the second trench. Do you understand?" Gray Wolf asked in a low voice.

"Understood," everyone responded in a low voice.

"Gray Wolf, why don't you tell them to knock the grenade once and let it stay for three seconds before throwing it out? This way, when the grenade explodes in the air, its shrapnel will be more lethal." Maolang asked.

"Come on, you are all rookies who have never fought in a war. It's good enough that you can throw the grenade safely. And keep it for three seconds, otherwise you will blow yourself up." Gray Wolf said with a sneer.

"Oh, too."

At about three o'clock, the Japanese troops gradually came into the team members' sight. The leader was a thin Japanese second lieutenant. He rode a tall Japanese horse and led three small teams of Japanese troops into the ambush circle with a proud look on his face.

"Captain, this group of Japanese soldiers are too arrogant. They are still walking around the mountainside without any hesitation and without even searching." Diao Lang said to Leng Feng.

"A bunch of dead people, let them be arrogant for a while." Leng Feng said coldly.

"Marshal Zhang's 30 Northeastern Army troops were driven away like ducks by more than 2 Japanese troops. The Japanese army would never look down on these guerrillas." Jackal said with contempt.

Deng Shanwa and several former guerrillas saw so many devils, their hands began to shake unconsciously. Last time, fifteen devils chased them everywhere. Now there are many more devils than last time.

Gray Wolf patted Deng Shanwa's shaking hands and comforted them:

"Relax, don't be nervous, just do it like we normally do in training."

At this moment, Leng Feng suddenly saw a communications soldier carrying a radio. He quickly whispered into the headset:

"Diao Lang, Diao Lang, did you hear that?"

"Diaolang heard me, Captain, please speak." Diaolang's voice came from the headset.

"When the battle starts, kill the signalman and don't let him leak the news."

"Diaolang received it."

"Don't destroy the radio. Keeping the Japanese radio will be useful in the future."

"Roger, understood!"

"Bang!" Leng Feng had just finished instructing Diao Lang when a Japanese soldier who was about to leave the mountain pass triggered an anti-infantry mine. The anti-infantry mine jumped into the air and exploded with a loud "boom". Shrapnel from the infantry mine flew everywhere like fairy flowers, and in a blink of an eye, nearly ten Japanese soldiers fell dead or injured. The second lieutenant was also scratched on the right cheek by shrapnel, and blood was flowing. He hurriedly jumped off the horse with his face covered by the soldiers, looking around in panic.

"What is this thing? It's so powerful and can fly and explode?" People always have a natural fear of unknown things.

"Engineers, clear the mines."

"Hi!" Privates Kumaji Matsuda and Taro Inoue responded, took a mine sweeper and started clearing the mines.

A large group of Japanese soldiers stopped and waited for the engineers to clear the mines before moving forward.

The two engineers continued to march out of the mountain pass but did not find any more mines.

The second lieutenant waved his hand, and the Japanese army continued to advance. A village appeared in front of them.
