Devil's Army

Arriving at the gate of Tieling County, Leng Feng asked a guard to go to the tribal airport and ask the 3rd Regiment of the 5th Brigade to bring all the puppet soldiers and puppet police who were undergoing labor reform to Tieling County. There was not much work left at the airport, and the most important thing at the moment was to help the people of Tieling County rebuild their homes.

Arriving in Tieling County, Boss He said goodbye to Leng Feng. Leng Feng brought his guards to the Liangzi River defense line that faced the Japanese army in Kaiyuan.

When Deputy Brigade Commander Luo of the Fifth Brigade heard that Leng Feng was coming, he led his men out of the command post to greet him.

Leng Feng proposed to go to the front line of the Liangzi River defense line to take a look, but Deputy Brigade Commander Luo tried to stop him and said:

"The front line of Liangzi River is too dangerous. Soldiers from both sides often use cold guns and cold artillery to fight each other."

"We are about to start the reconstruction work in Tieling County. If you can't defend this place well, all our reconstruction work will be in vain." Leng Feng said earnestly.

"I know this, that's why I moved the headquarters nearby, the purpose is to keep an eye on these devils."

Finally, Leng Feng insisted on going to the front of Liangzi River to take a look. He said he would feel uneasy if he didn't take a look.

Deputy Brigade Commander Luo had no choice but to take your team of soldiers with Leng Feng.

Leng Feng refused and said:

"The south side of Liangzi River is still in our hands and it is still our defense zone. I am not going to fight, so I don't need so many people. More people will make the target bigger."

Deputy Brigade Commander Luo had no choice but to take a few people and follow Leng Feng closely to the front line of Liangzi River.

Leng Feng is now the soul of this unit. If Leng Feng has any problems here, Luo Zhiwei cannot bear the responsibility.

When they arrived at the front line of Liangzi River, a battalion commander in charge of defense saw Leng Feng coming and stepped forward to salute him. He was stopped by Deputy Brigade Commander Luo. Saluting the leader at the front line would provide a sniper target for the enemy snipers, increasing the danger to the leader.

Leng Feng and his men were inspecting along the front line of Liangzi River when suddenly a shout came from the side: "Stop, what are you doing?" After the shout, a squad of soldiers rushed over from the side.

As it was late, the squad leader did not recognize Leng Feng and Deputy Brigade Commander Luo for a while. He ran over to them, recognized them, and tried to salute them, but was stopped by Leng Feng's guards.

"I'm sorry, Commander Leng, Deputy Brigade Commander Luo, it was too dark and I didn't recognize you." The squad leader apologized.

"It's okay, you did a good job. This is your duty." Leng Feng said to the squad leader.

"We have arranged secret sentries around the Liangzi River at night to prevent the Japanese from sneaking up on our visible sentries under the cover of darkness and then suddenly launching an attack on us," said Deputy Brigade Commander Luo.

"very good"

Leng Feng walked along the front line of Liangzi River and found that Deputy Brigade Commander Luo's overall defense was good.

Leng Feng instructed Deputy Brigade Commander Luo: “— All the Liangzi River basins bordering Tieling County and Kaiyuan Japs must be guarded by troops.

2. Dig another fortification behind Liangzi River where we enter Tieling County. This is to prevent the troops from retreating to this fortification and continue to block the enemy if Liangzi River is lost. Anti-tank cones should also be built in front of the fortification to prevent the enemy tanks from advancing.

"The Japanese have destroyed the only bridge between Liangzi River and Tieling County. How can his tanks get over?" Deputy Brigade Commander Luo asked in confusion.

"He can't get across now, but what about in winter? If the river freezes over, can't his tanks come over? He can even build a simple floating bridge and drive over."

"Understood. I'll arrange it tomorrow."

"This time, two-thirds of the buildings in Tieling County were destroyed by the Japanese."

"This is our Fifth Brigade's fault. We failed to protect Tieling County well." Deputy Brigade Commander Luo said a little frustrated.

"War means casualties and losses. Tieling County is currently undergoing reconstruction. What we can do now is to prevent this from happening again."

"General Leng, don't worry, we will defend the Liangzi River defense line to the death and not let the Japanese from Kaiyuan cross the river."

When we returned to the headquarters, it was already past lunchtime.

Deputy Brigade Commander Luo called the kitchen staff and cooked a few dishes. Leng Feng and the guards had dinner at the headquarters.

After dinner, Leng Feng said to Deputy Brigade Commander Luo:

"Tieling County is a new county we have rebuilt, and it is of great significance. We must not let the Japanese destroy it again. I will not go back tonight and will stay at your headquarters. I will get up tomorrow morning to watch you dig fortifications.

After hearing this, Deputy Brigade Commander Luo immediately arranged for the guards to help Leng Feng and the guards prepare their accommodation.

The next morning, Leng Feng and Deputy Brigade Commander Luo followed the soldiers to the site where they were going to start digging new construction.

Leng Feng looked at the location and said:

"This place is fine. As long as we can keep the Japanese out of this place, Tieling County will not be destroyed by Japanese artillery fire."

Then Leng Feng put forward two points of his own:

"First, build a group of anti-tank cones about two miles long in front of the fortifications, so that the fortifications can be protected from long-range tank bombardment.

2. Build two pairs of forts on both sides of the anti-tank cone group. The forts are built in two layers. The lower layer of passages is connected to the fortifications, and the soldiers can support each other through the lower layer of passages.

"Okay, I understand." Deputy Brigade Commander Luo responded.

After Leng Feng finished explaining these things, he left with the guards.
