Devil's Army

When the regiment leader heard this, he burst into laughter.

The information that Golden Eagle discovered someone walking in the woods was indeed correct, but the person walking there was not a Japanese soldier, but one of his own.

"By the way, after hearing what you said, my doubts have been dispelled," the captain continued.

“What are your concerns?”

"A large group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared not far from our secret camp. My first reaction was that our secret camp had been exposed. I quickly ordered the organization to move. However, these Japanese soldiers did not seem to be carrying out a search mission, but a retreat mission."

"Which direction did they retreat?"

"Retreat south."

"South, south is the area around Chifeng City in Rehe Province. It seems Brigade Commander Wang's judgment was correct. Signalman, send a message to the Brigade Commander immediately: The Japanese are retreating towards Rehe Province. Have him notify allies to intercept them."

"Yes!"

"Now, except for Qiqihar, all other places in Heilongjiang Province have been recovered by us. You can come out openly. It's time for dinner now. If you don't mind, why don't you have dinner before going back?"

As soon as the guerrillas heard that it was time to eat, several of them started to have their stomachs growl.

Several soldiers from the first regiment nearby laughed quietly.

It seems they went hungry during their time in the Greater Khingan Range. The Japanese weren't having an easy time either.

"We just met you, how can we disturb you?" the captain replied embarrassedly.

"We just met, but our brigade commander is very familiar with your secretary. Guard, take them to our barracks for dinner, and the other troops return to their original patrol areas."

One regiment came to the rescue of the frightened Heihe Anti-Japanese Guerrillas who had quickly moved away, but no one came to rescue the Heihe Japanese troops who had fled into the Greater Khingan Range.

They slept in the open air, lacking cold-proof bedding, and more and more soldiers caught colds and even began to run fevers.

Initially, the commander assigned a lieutenant to collect soldiers who were suffering from colds and fevers and falling behind. As the number of soldiers suffering from colds and fevers increased, he became unable to manage them and continued to order the troops to advance faster.

As long as they escape from this cold hell, they can enter Rehe Province to find villages, replenish food and keep warm.

As a result, weak and sick Japanese soldiers continued to fall, and no one cared about them.

Chifeng City has been recovered for a long time, and public security has improved significantly. Most of the troops are fighting against the Japanese in Xing'an Province and Chahar Province.

Currently, the Fifth Brigade has only one battalion stationed in Chifeng City. Even if all of them were transferred there, they would still be less than a fraction of the Japanese troops in Heihe.

After receiving Wang Zhuangfei's report on the enemy situation, the commander of the Fifth Brigade immediately mobilized troops from Tongliao, Chengde and other places to prepare to encircle and suppress the group of Japanese troops who rashly broke into Rehe Province.

A deputy regiment commander in charge of this encirclement and suppression mission was worried that the Japanese army would sneak into Rehe Province from the direction of Tongliao, so he sent golden eagles to watch from the air.

Five days later, the golden eagle discovered during reconnaissance that birds were occasionally flying into the sky from the woods leading to Tongliao.

The deputy regiment commander immediately determined that the Japanese army's breakout direction was Tongliao.

The only defensive forces in Tongliao were definitely not enough to encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops in Heihe.

The deputy regiment commander quickly transferred the troops ambushed in Chifeng City to Tongliao and ambushed them at the ambush site that had been selected long ago.

A day later, the emaciated Japanese troops began to peek out and walk out of the Greater Khingan Range.

The deputy regiment commander immediately reported to the commander of the 5th Brigade and discovered that the Japanese troops in Heihe had broken out from Tongliao.

Wang Zhuangfei received a notice from the commander of the Fifth Brigade and withdrew the troops that had been besieging Daxinganling for nearly a week.
