Devil's Army

After Xiao Fei led the troops away, Leng Feng suddenly wanted to go back to the tribe. Since the defense war started, he was either in Diaobingshan County or in Tieling County.

Now that the defense battle was won, he was busy for another two days.

Gray Wolf came from the tribe last night. He had nothing to do today, so he accompanied Leng Feng back to the tribe.

When they reached the outskirts of the tribal forest, Li had towed all the 12 broken tanks here for repair because there was a war going on outside Tiaobinshan County. There were only four left, two of which had their turrets missing.

"Engineer Li, have the eight tanks been repaired?" Leng Feng shouted loudly into the tank with its cover opened.

Engineer Li got out of the tank and replied, "It's fixed."

"We captured six more tanks from the enemy in this defense battle. They are all unusable. I'll have someone to tow them over this afternoon so you can have a look."

"Okay," Engineer Li said, and then he went back into the tank to repair it.

"After all the tanks are repaired, we will have 22 tanks and can be used as a surprise force," Leng Feng said to Gray Wolf.

Just as Leng Feng and Gray Wolf were about to go to the tribe, a signalman caught up with them on horseback:

"Report to the commander, there is an old man looking for you. He is now in the Tieling County military camp."

"The old man is looking for me?" Leng Feng looked at the gray wolf in confusion.

"Don't look at me. I don't know who is looking for you."

Helplessly, Leng Feng had to turn around and rush back to Tieling County with his guards.

When we arrived at the Tieling County military camp, we saw an old man with his back to the door, talking to Boss He.

Leng Feng walked up quickly and saw that it was indeed the old county magistrate.

Leng Feng shook the old county magistrate's hand and said happily:

"I didn't know Mr. Dong was coming. I apologize for not welcoming you."

"Hey, I am sorry for interrupting you."

"Mr. Dong, are you here today to be an observer?"

"No, I decided not to be an observer."

"Oh?" Leng Feng was a little disappointed.

"I am going to recommend myself to be the county magistrate of Tieling County."

"Are you serious, Mr. Dong?" Leng Feng's face showed a little disappointment, but he immediately became excited.

"I came out yesterday afternoon and saw your army distributing food and water to the people at the county gate. I came here this morning and saw your army distributing food and water to the people again. With so many people, your army must have consumed a lot of food, and the pressure is not small!"

"That's why I want to ask Mr. Dong to come out and help me manage this business. If we can develop the planting and production of the people in Tieling County, our troops will have a steady supply of military rations."

"General Leng is devoted to the people, how dare I live in seclusion in a corner. I am willing to work with General Leng to contribute to the development and prosperity of Tieling County."

"We, the First Army, will do our utmost to safeguard the development and prosperity of Tieling County and Tiaobinshan County."

"Okay," Mr. Dong and Boss He both spoke well of Leng Feng.

"Next, Tieling County will withdraw from military control and implement the separation of military and political affairs. Mr. Dong, you must first organize the county government personnel and take over the government affairs of Tieling County."

"That's not a problem. I already have a suitable candidate in mind."

"Everything will be arranged by Mr. Dong. Please hand over the list of personnel to me and I will submit it to the Nanjing government for filing and approval."

"Oh, Commander Leng is still under the Nanjing government?" The Nanjing government's non-resistance policy caused the three northeastern provinces to fall into the hands of the devils. Mr. Dong had no good feelings towards the Nanjing government.

"It doesn't matter whether we are affiliated or not, it's just a formality. The key is that we should serve the people and benefit the people. We want to make Tieling County and Tiaobinshan County prosperous and develop." Leng Feng also saw that Mr. Dong was unhappy.

"And I guess the Nanjing government dare not express its position because it has the Tanggu Agreement with the Japanese."

Since the county government team had not yet been set up, Mr. Dong temporarily lived in the military camp, going out every day to contact his old colleagues and set up a new county government team.

Considering that Mr. Dong is old, Leng Feng wants to arrange a carriage for him to travel.

Mr. Dong firmly disagreed. He said that public and private affairs should be clearly distinguished and public power should not be used for personal gain.

Leng Feng said: "You are also doing office work in preparing the county leadership team."

But Mr. Dong said that the county leadership team had not yet been established, and I was just meeting some old friends to catch up, which could not be considered official business. Besides, "If you walk regularly, you will live to be ninety-nine."

Leng Feng had no choice but to let Director Dong make his own arrangements.

Director Dong was quite efficient. Two days later, the county leadership team was officially established and began to handle the affairs of Tieling County.

At this time, Leng Feng asked Dong Lao to do another thing, which was to prepare the leadership team of Tiaobinshan County. Tiaobinshan County also wanted to implement the separation of military and political affairs.

Without saying a word, Dong Laoer entrusted the affairs of Tieling County to the newly established leadership team, and rushed to Tiaobinshan County alone to form the county leadership team of Tiaobinshan County.

Mr. Dong went out early and came back late every day to visit colleagues he knew. However, some colleagues declined Mr. Dong's invitation because they were afraid that the Japanese would settle accounts with them if they reoccupied Tiaobinshan County.

Mr. Dong, who had been running around for several days since the establishment of Tieling County Government, had obviously lost weight. Mrs. Dong felt very distressed, but she had no other choice. She knew that the old man was stubborn and would not easily turn back from his decision. She could only quietly make more delicious food for him behind his back.

Four days later, the county leadership team of Tiaobinshan County was also established.

Since the leadership team of Tiaobinshan County was relatively weak, Mr. Dong stayed in Tiaobinshan County to assist in handling the affairs of Tiaobinshan County.
