Devil's Army

The soldiers of the Second Battalion climbed up the city wall one after another and, under the leadership of the puppet army, moved towards the Japanese army's supply base.

The Japanese army was highly alert, with patrols coming in from time to time.

If it weren't for the intelligence sent back by the golden eagle, they would definitely have encountered the Japanese patrol.

When they reached a point about one kilometer away from the Japanese army's supply warehouse base, the paratroopers could no longer advance.

There were sentries and patrols everywhere, and even their own troops had no way of entering the supply warehouse without the commander's order.

It seemed the only option was for the Golden Eagle to launch an attack from the air. This time they brought a Golden Eagle III and a Golden Eagle IV drone.

That means the captain only has six air-to-ground missiles. And the Japanese army's supply base has more than 20 warehouses of various sizes. Which targets should they attack?

The captain ordered the paratroopers to bring the puppet squad leader over, pointed at the warehouse on the screen, and asked:

"Where is the Japanese ammunition depot?"

It was the first time that the puppet army squad leader saw the Japanese army’s ammunition depot on the Golden Eagle’s display screen, and he was so surprised that he couldn’t close his mouth for a long time.

"Tell me, what are you staring at? Which ones are the Japanese ammunition depots?"

"Sir, the Japanese won't let us into this supply warehouse base."

The captain thought about it and realized that the Japanese didn't trust the Chinese at all.

At this point, we can only rely on our own reconnaissance. However, there was no fighting here at night, and the Japanese would not open the door of the ammunition depot to transport ammunition for no reason.

With so many of them staying in the county town, they would be easily exposed during the day.

How to do?

"Where can we hide a force of several hundred people here?" the captain asked the puppet army squad leader.

"Where else can so many people live here except in the military camp? I can't take you to our regimental military camp, right?" The puppet army squad leader replied with a sad face.

“Is there a school nearby?”

The paratroopers all carry three days' rations. If they hide for two or three days without going out to buy food, they should not be exposed.

"Yes, turn left in this alley behind and go about 5 or 6 kilometers. There's a middle school."

"Take us there."

The principal, who was woken up, was very annoyed when he saw the puppet army entering the school with a troop, and immediately came over to stop them.

He had no good feelings towards these traitors. But now the entire Dongning County was under the control of the Japanese army, and he had no choice but to bow his head.

"Sir, my name is Gong, and I'm the principal of Dongning Middle School. It's late at night, so what can I do for you at the school?"

"Old man, arrange food and lodging for the officers. They will live in your school."

"How dare you talk like that? Get out of here!" the captain shouted.

The puppet army squad leader walked aside awkwardly.

"Principal Gong, we are from the First Anti-Japanese Army and are passing through Dongning County to carry out a mission. We have nowhere to hide. Is it okay to bother you for two days?"

When Principal Gong heard that they were from the First Anti-Japanese Army, he immediately became enthusiastic, but still said with a little concern:

"I wouldn't say it's disturbing, but the Japanese are conducting a very strict search right now. Gong is worried that if so many people enter the school and they find out, it will implicate the teachers and students of the school."

"Principal Gong has prepared a few remote houses for us. We'll bring our rations and leave tomorrow."

"Okay, sir, please follow me."

Principal Gong placed the paratroopers in a few empty classrooms on the innermost left side of the school, and left after a few greetings.

The captain arranged for the soldiers to divide into teams and monitor the intelligence transmitted by the golden eagle 24 hours a day. The other team members immediately went to sleep.
