Devil's Army

Leng Feng's First Anti-Japanese Army's expedition to Weichang greatly shocked the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters. From then on, Japanese bombers dared not participate in any battles in which the First Anti-Japanese Army participated.

The First Army's expedition also shocked the National Government and attracted the attention of the Red Army.

The bald leader sent Mr. Zheng from the Blue Shirts Society to visit Leng Feng in the Oroqen tribe with several military and political leaders from the Northeast and gifts.

Leng Feng stared at the gifts and warmly entertained Mr. Zheng and the military and political leaders.

Mr. Zheng saw that there was hope and promptly asked Leng Feng to join the National Government.

Leng Feng smiled and said, "We are free here, why should we join the National Government? What good will it do us?"

"Join the National Government and you can get an official number."

"These numbers are fictitious. We can call ourselves the First Army, the Long Live Army, or the Victory Army."

"With the number, the National Government can give you military pay and replenish your weapons and equipment every month."

"Well, that sounds good." Leng Feng is a man who wants all the benefits.

"Then may I ask Commander Leng, how many people are there in your unit now?" Mr. Zheng asked again.

"We now have more than 60,000 troops." Leng Feng deliberately reported an extra 20,000 people in order to collect empty salaries.

"Captain Leng has a strong army. Can I have a look at your troops?"

"Of course." Leng Feng knew that Mr. Zheng didn't believe what he said and wanted to check it out himself, so he agreed affirmatively.

"Then let's go for a walk now," Mr. Zheng continued. He also wanted to understand the actual situation of this unit.

"Let's go," Leng Feng made a gesture of invitation, and then took Mr. Zheng and the military and political leaders of the Northeast to visit the tribe.

The first, third and fifth brigades of the tribe are in training.

Mr. Zheng was a military man, and he saw that this unit was much more powerful than other units. Its weapons and equipment were also quite good. However, the total number of personnel was only 20,000, which was a far cry from the 60,000 or so that Leng Feng had said.

Leng Feng took him to visit the six military camps in the tribe and then said that there were several troops stationed in the Diaobei Mountain area of ​​Tiaobinshan County. Mr. Zheng, is he interested in going there?

Mr. Zheng calculated that if all six military camps were fully occupied, the total number of people should not exceed 40,000. So he readily accepted Leng Feng's invitation.

Leng Feng and the guards led Mr. Zheng and his men for nearly three hours and arrived at the basement of the Second Regiment of the Sixth Brigade in the underground warehouse at around one o'clock.

"This is the base of the Second Regiment of the Sixth Brigade. The other two regiments are stationed at the small dock on the other side of the Waterfall River." Leng Feng introduced.

Everyone had lunch in the second group.

After lunch, Leng Feng did not let everyone rest, and then took them to Hejiazhao Village.

When Wang Zhuangfei heard from the sentry that Leng Feng was coming, he hurried to the village entrance with Huang Lei to greet him.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Wang Zhuangfei saw Leng Feng coming with a group of people. He hurried forward, saluted and said:

"Commander of the Fourth Brigade Wang Zhuangfei and Deputy Commander of the Fourth Brigade Huang Lei welcome Commander Leng to inspect the work of the Fourth Brigade."

"Brigade Commander Wang, this is Mr. Zheng from the Kuomintang government and several military and political leaders from the Northeast. They want to come to your Fourth Brigade for an inspection."

"Please." Although Wang Zhuangfei had doubts in his heart, he still invited Mr. Zheng and several important military and political figures from the Northeast to visit the military camp.

Leng Feng took Mr. Zheng and the others to visit Hejiazhao Village, the mountain pass and the grove fortifications with Wang Zhuangfei. Mr. Zheng knew that the Fourth Brigade should have about 7,000 personnel, which was definitely a fully staffed brigade.

Before everyone had time to rest, Leng Feng took them through a small road to the Second Brigade’s base in Hujia Village.

Several important military and political leaders from Northeast China were already very tired and looked at Mr. Zheng eagerly.

Mr. Zheng was born in a military family, so he could still bear it. It was he who proposed to inspect the troops, and he couldn't refuse, so he followed Leng Feng to Hujia Village through the small road.

When we got on the path to Hujia Village, it was fine at first, but gradually everyone started to complain. The paths just now were just appetizers. The thorns here made everyone suffer.

When they reached the path along the cliff, the calves of several Northeastern military and political personnel were shaking so much that they didn't dare to go forward at all.

Leng Feng could only ask the guards to support him one by one and walk slowly over.

Due to confidentiality requirements, Leng Feng did not take them to the underground cave.

Wulang had already received advance notice that the Second Brigade was ready and waiting for their inspection in Hujia Village.

After finally reaching Hujia Village, the calves of several Northeastern military and political leaders were still trembling.

Mr. Zheng looked at the Second Brigade, which was ready to go with murderous intent in their eyes, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"What a mighty army full of murderous intent! Commander Leng is really good at commanding the army."

"They all crawled through the mountains of corpses and blood of the Japanese invaders, so of course they have murderous intent." Leng Feng said calmly.

As it was already late, everyone had dinner at the Second Brigade’s base.

"Commander Leng, where are the remaining troops stationed? Can we take a car there?" Mr. Zheng asked again during dinner.

"The 7th and 8th Brigades are stationed on the other side of Diaobei Mountain, which is more than 30 to 40 kilometers away from here. We can drive more than 20 kilometers, and we can only walk the remaining nearly 20 kilometers. The road there is even more difficult to walk than the road we just walked. There is no other way. Our strength is not as good as the Japanese, so we can only hide in the mountains. The 9th and 10th Brigades are stationed in the mountains and forests south of Fengtian City, which is quite far from here."

When those important military and political leaders from the Northeast heard that there were still 20 kilometers of mountain roads to go and that the road would be even more difficult to walk than today's, they all declined on the grounds of feeling unwell.

Leng Feng smiled and said nothing, looking at Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng calculated in his mind that the troops he saw today had about 40,000 men, so he took the opportunity to say:

"Since they are not feeling well, I think we should just forget it and go back to the tribe tomorrow."

"That's fine." Leng Feng agreed readily.
