Devil's Army

On the morning of the third day, Fujie's troops who had come from Kaiyuan were no longer able to launch a large-scale attack, and only launched a few small-scale harassment attacks sporadically. Most of the time they were in a standoff.

Lieutenant Colonel Takeda continued to attack and sent two squadrons to attack from both wings, but they were blocked by the second and third squadrons of the first battalion.

The battle on Lieutenant Colonel Takeda's side also entered a stalemate phase.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Leng Feng asked the messenger to inform Wang Zhuangfei, Jackal and Wulang that they could arrange for the retreat.

So Wu Lang and Wang Zhuangfei retreated to Hejiazhao Village. Before leaving, Wang Zhuangfei asked Leng Feng for the two 150mm howitzers. Leng Feng originally planned to use the two howitzers to defend the mountain pass of Hejiazhao Village, so he naturally agreed. He also allocated two 75mm anti-aircraft guns and two anti-aircraft machine guns to Wang Zhuangfei.

Wang Zhuangfei was happy but also had a headache because no one in his Fourth Team knew how to handle these good things.

A large group of jackals retreated back to the Oroqen tribe.

At six o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant Colonel Takeda "completely recovered Fengtian."

Musashi Nobuyoshi was very happy and asked about the situation of Fengtian Arsenal and Ammunition Depot. The answers he got were: Fengtian Arsenal and Ammunition Depot had been completely emptied, leaving only an empty frame. All the workers in the arsenal had also fled.

Nobuyoshi Musashi slowly put down the phone and sat down weakly in the chair.

In stark contrast to the passive resistance of Tang Yulin, chairman of Rehe Province, Sun, commander of the 41st Army, insisted on resisting the Japanese and fought bloody battles with the Japanese in Chifeng. The Japanese even had to bypass Yu Zhaolin's brigade to attack Lingyuan.

After the war, volunteer armies and anti-Japanese armed forces from all over the country were incorporated into the 41st Army, and the 41st Army's strength increased by more than six times.

Now, thanks to the appearance of Leng Feng and his men, the victory of the Battle of Fengtian has greatly inspired the people of Northeast China. Many volunteers and other anti-Japanese armed forces and ordinary people have asked to join Leng Feng's troops.

The number of civilians newly recruited and asked to join the army reached more than 20,000. Together with the original nearly 7,000 troops, the army suddenly expanded to more than 31,000. In addition, anti-Japanese armed forces continued to request to join.

The troops completed Leng Feng's plan to build a team of 30,000 to 50,000 people.

Due to the rapid expansion of the army, the supporting facilities could not keep up. Leng Feng and Miao Xieling discussed whether they could let the tribesmen return to live in the tunnels temporarily, and use the surface for training new soldiers. After the training, the new soldiers would be assigned to various places, and the tribesmen would return to live on the surface. Leng Feng's original troops would all be temporarily stationed in the tunnels.

Only with the protection of a strong army can one have a stable life. It was not difficult for Miao Xieling to convince the tribesmen.

The tribesmen took their belongings and returned to live in the tunnels.

Since the Rehe Campaign was still ten days away from ending, the Japanese would attack them after the Rehe Campaign ended, and it would take at least a month to prepare war supplies. This way, Leng Feng and his men would have at least a month of safety.

Leng Feng decided to use this safe period to comprehensively reform the army.

He ordered Wu Lang and Wang Zhuangfei, who were temporarily stationed in Hejiazhao Village, to take the second and fourth battalions back to the Oroqen tribe. On the third day after they arrived at the tribe, he announced that the troops would be reorganized into the First Chinese Anti-Japanese Army, with six brigades, each with more than 5,000 people and four regiments.

Commander of the 1st Brigade: Zhang Yuanhang (Jackal), Deputy Commander Chen Dongbei;

Second Brigade Commander: He Qingwu (Wulang), Deputy Brigade Commander: Dai Ansheng;

The commander of the 3rd Brigade is Li Guozhu, and the deputy commander is He Guangming;

Commander of the 4th Brigade: Wang Zhuangfei, Deputy Commander Huang Lei;

Commander of the Fifth Brigade: Li Junnan (Meilang), Deputy Commander Luo Zhiwei;

Commander of the Sixth Brigade: Liu Yaohua, Deputy Brigade Commander: He Chunhua.

Baron's independent battalion of more than 3,000 people was reorganized into a military regiment.

Leng Feng was unanimously elected as the commander of the First Army, and Huilang as the deputy commander and captain of the special operations team.

Since the army had just been restructured, there was a serious shortage of military and political cadres. Leng Feng could only build the framework of the army first, and then slowly fill in the gaps with the chief of staff and political cadres at all levels.

After the restructuring of the troops was completed, each brigade used the original veterans as the backbone to lead the new recruits in training in subjects such as the use of firearms, battlefield escape, and physical training.

Gray Wolf also selected 1,000 veterans from each brigade for devilish training. After the training, 400 were selected to join the special operations team, and the rest returned to their original units.

Of all the people, Wenlang was the busiest. He had to take care of the logistics of more than 30,000 people during the day, and teach the special forces Japanese at night. Now he was also an artillery instructor. He selected a group of soldiers who had fired artillery and even had contact with artillery to come and learn.

Fortunately, the production of alcohol and penicillin is now on track, otherwise Wenlang would really be unable to spare any time.

Since the army now has more artillery, Leng Feng decided to set up an artillery regiment. However, the military commanders of the artillery regiment will have to wait until the students graduate before making arrangements.

This time, the Fengtian combat troops captured more than 30 Japanese soldiers and more than 800 puppet soldiers and puppet police.

These thirty-odd Japanese soldiers were assigned to the Korean Japanese labor camp and were responsible for digging tunnels together. However, they were not allowed to approach the tunnel where a large amount of supplies were stored.

At first, the thirty-odd Japanese prisoners were very uncooperative. Short Wolf not only refused to give them food, but also beat them up severely. Gradually, the thirty-odd Japanese prisoners also obediently followed the nearly three hundred Korean Japanese labor reform team to work together.

How to arrange for these more than 800 puppet soldiers and police officers? It is impossible to let them eat for nothing.

Since there is the Dongta Airport in Fengtianli, Huilang suggested to Leng Feng that they build their own simple airport by opening an airstrip in the vast forest inside the glass factory.

Leng Feng had originally intended to build his own air force to break the enemy's air superiority. The two hit it off. However, Leng Feng planned to build an arsenal next to the glass factory to produce heavy weapons such as artillery. The arsenal in the tunnel was only responsible for producing guns, grenades and bullets.

For safety reasons, a simple airport was built in a large forest more than 20 kilometers south of the glass factory. Leng Feng first built a barracks and a labor camp there, and then arranged for the Sixth Brigade to station and train there. He also supervised the labor camp team to build the airport.
