Devil's Army

Commander Musashi, several staff officers of the General Staff, and several regiment commanders were discussing in the Operations Department how to encircle and wipe out this devilish force.

The last time Division Commander Sakamoto fought against the Devil's Army in the enclosure, he said:

"This devilish unit has accurate shooting skills, fierce firepower, and strong combat effectiveness. It is a unit that cannot be underestimated. It must be equipped with enough tanks and armored vehicles."

The division commander Maeda, who had never fought against the devil troops, thought that the division commander Sakamoto was boosting the enemy's morale and destroying his own prestige. The Chinese army would flee immediately as soon as you bombed them with planes or heavy artillery.

Commander Musashi waved his hand to stop the blind arrogance of Division Commander Maeda. He heard the word "plane" and looked at his watch. It was already past six o'clock. The reconnaissance plane had already returned at this time last time. How come there is still no news after going out for reconnaissance two hours earlier today?

He asked the guard at the door to ask whether the reconnaissance plane had returned.

The guard went out for a while and came back to report: The reconnaissance plane has not returned yet.

Musashi Nobuyoshi didn't say anything, he had already guessed the result.

The staff officer who advocated sending a reconnaissance plane lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Commander Musashi did not scold him because he was the one who agreed to send the reconnaissance plane for reconnaissance. Wouldn't it be a slap in his own face to scold him?

Leng Feng returned to the Oroqen tribe in a happy mood. When he arrived at the outskirts of the tribe forest, he happened to meet Engineer Li and his two apprentices repairing the broken tank.

Because it was the weekend and students had no classes, Mrs. Li stood next to the tank with a plain small umbrella. Seeing Leng Feng coming over, she nodded slightly at him as a greeting.

"Engineer Li, is the tank repaired?" Leng Feng shouted as he approached the top of the tank tower.

"It's almost done. Just install these accessories."

Leng Feng didn't say anything to disturb him, but stood beside him and chatted with Mrs. Li.

"Mrs. Li, is that student easy to teach?"

"It's OK. They are all quite obedient."

……

Mrs. Li didn't talk much, just answering one question at a time. Soon the conversation became dull.

Leng Feng lit a cigarette and squatted beside to smoke.

After a while, Engineer Li emerged halfway from the top of the tower and said to Madam Li, "It's finally done." He looked up and saw Leng Feng squatting not far away. He hurriedly greeted him:

"Hey, Commander Leng, why are you still here?"

"Well, I want to talk to you about something."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll test the car." After saying that, Engineer Li got into the tank again and closed the tank tower cover.

After a while, the tank started and started running with a rumbling sound.

The tank turned around and stopped. Engineer Li got out from the top of the tank tower. There was still black oil stain on his face.

Mrs. Li walked forward and lovingly wiped off the oil stains with the back of her right hand.

Who would have thought that after being wiped by Mrs. Li, the two small oil stains turned into two long black oil stains.

Mrs. Li simply stopped wiping it and rubbed it all over Mr. Li's face with her hands, and Mr. Li's face immediately turned black.

Mrs. Li laughed out loud while watching from the side. Mr. Li also chuckled foolishly.

"I've polished it twice, and this time it finally fits." Engineer Li said as he squatted next to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng handed over a cigarette and asked, "Are all of them fixed?"

"Only three were damaged. The other five were fine. All the damaged ones have been repaired."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li. You are really our treasure."

"Don't say that. It's you who gave me a meaningful life to contribute to the anti-Japanese war. Otherwise, I would still be hiding in the mountains and confused for the rest of my life."

"By the way, you just said you had something to talk to me about. What is it?" Engineer Li paused and asked Leng Feng again.

"Oh, our anti-aircraft guns just shot down a Japanese reconnaissance plane."

"Oh, congratulations, Commander Leng."

"But we have too few anti-aircraft guns and large-caliber howitzers. I want to ask if you can produce a batch of them?"

"We are short of materials, especially these seamless steel pipes for producing artillery." Engineer Li replied after taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Now that we have seized the equipment from the Fengtian Arsenal, we have no shortage of equipment for producing weapons. Can we ask the boss who asked us to buy the equipment for the arsenal last time to exchange the equipment for raw materials for making weapons? We can pay more and buy twice or three times the raw materials."

"I have to contact him before I can answer you."

"Okay, hurry up and contact him tomorrow. I'll find a few people to go with you."

"Okay, no problem."

"Do your two apprentices know how to drive tanks and armored vehicles?"

"Of course I understand!"

"Okay, could you go to Madam Li's school tonight and teach the soldiers some theoretical knowledge about tanks and armored vehicles? Tomorrow, ask your two apprentices to help teach the soldiers how to drive tanks and armored vehicles. I want to form a mobile force."

"This is no problem."

"Okay, thank you." Leng Feng shook hands with Mr. Li and returned to the tribe through the tunnel down the mountain.

The first thing Leng Feng did when he returned to the tribe was to notify each brigade to select 15 soldiers who could drive and rush to the tribal school to listen to Engineer Li's lecture at 7 o'clock tonight. Tomorrow they will start practicing driving tanks and armored vehicles and forming a mobile force.

In the evening, except for the 3rd and 6th Brigades that were on the Western Expedition to Chahar, the other four troops all sent people to listen to Engineer Li's lectures.

Engineer Li studied mechanics, so this class mainly talks about the operation of tanks and armored vehicles and the precautions that should be taken during operation.

The lectures were a bit abstruse and the soldiers had a hard time listening to them. But in order to be able to drive tanks and armored vehicles, the soldiers still listened very carefully.
