Devil's Army

The next morning, Leng Feng went to the war room. Gray Wolf was alone in the war room. Leng Feng saw that he looked a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. He asked Gray Wolf:

"How are Xiao Fei and the others?"

Gray Wolf found Xiao Fei's combat report next to the desk and handed it to Leng Feng.

It turned out that after Xiao Fei said goodbye to Leng Feng that day, he brought the second, third, and fourth battalions of the army's direct regiment to the vicinity of Xiaonan Town.

There were not many Japanese and puppet troops in Xiaonan Town and Xiaoming Town, only about 300 to 500 people. If they met outside, Xiao Fei's battalion could wipe them out. But now the Japanese and puppet troops had the advantage of terrain, and they did not carry heavy weapons. If they attacked head-on, there would definitely be casualties, and the casualties would definitely be large.

After discussion, Xiao Fei decided that the second battalion commander would first send 30 people to sneak into Xiaoming Town, and the third battalion commander would also arrange people to sneak into Xiaonan Town. When the battle started, they would cooperate with the large forces outside to attack the two towns.

Xiao Fei and the second battalion commander were responsible for attacking Xiaoming Town. Before the battle started, the second deputy battalion commander led 30 soldiers to sneak into Xiaoming Town in batches. They also pulled the weapons up the wall with ropes from the poorly defended wall of the Japanese.

In order to cooperate with the Third Battalion in attacking Xiaonan Town, Xiao Fei deliberately delayed the attack for an hour.

Xiao Fei deliberately attacked the north gate of Xiaoming Town. Mortars bombarded the north gate wall fiercely, and the soldiers' shouts reached the sky.

Most of the Japanese and puppet troops were transferred to the north gate, and only then did Xiao Fei start his main attack in the west gate.

The small force that had sneaked into the city earlier easily repelled the few defenders at the west gate and opened the city gate.

The troops of the Second Battalion successfully entered the city. The Japanese at the North Gate wanted to return to the West Gate for support, but it was too late. They could only flee from the South Gate with the remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

The attack on Xiaonan Town by the Third Battalion was not so smooth. When they sneaked into the town, the battle of Xiaoming Town had not yet started. The first batch of five soldiers successfully sneaked into Xiaonan Town. However, the second batch of five soldiers were identified as guerrillas by the Japanese when they checked their mouths on a whim and were all arrested.

A soldier pretended to cry out for injustice, but was knocked to the ground by a puppet soldier with the butt of his gun.

The infiltration plan had to be temporarily suspended. Seeing that the Japanese had not relaxed their defense, the third battalion commander had to abandon the infiltration plan and launch a strong attack.

The commander of the third battalion divided into three groups: north, south, and west, with one company on each side launching an attack on Xiaonan Town. The Japanese and puppet troops also divided their troops into three groups to resist the attack of the third battalion and seek help from Fengtian.

The commander of the third battalion dispersed the Japanese and puppet troops in the town into three city gates, and asked Xiao Fei for help, requesting that the fourth battalion be sent to attack the north gate.

As the battle in Xiaoming Town was progressing smoothly, Xiao Fei sent the Fourth Battalion to reinforce the Third Battalion.

The commander of the Fourth Battalion concentrated the mortars of the entire battalion and the first company of the Third Battalion to fiercely bombard the Japanese and puppet troops at the north gate.

The Japanese soldiers guarding the north gate gradually lost their ability to hold on. At this time, Fengtian gathered more than 800 Japanese soldiers and puppet troops to attack the third battalion and the third company from the south.

The third company of the third battalion was in danger of being attacked from both sides. When the Japanese at the north gate heard that reinforcements from Fengtian had arrived, they put up a tough resistance.

Xiao Fei ordered the third company of the third battalion to split into two groups and hold out for an hour. At the same time, he ordered the fourth battalion to intensify the attack.

The fourth battalion commander fired all the battalion's mortar shells at the city wall and ordered all troops to press forward.

At this time, the five soldiers who had sneaked into Xiaonan Town earlier had no choice but to go to the grocery store to buy some strong liquor and kerosene, make their own incendiary bombs, and attack the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the north gate because they did not bring weapons into the town.

The incendiary bombs caused considerable chaos to the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the gate.

Finally, the north gate of Xiaonan Town was breached, and the Japanese and puppet troops at the north gate fled to the south in panic.

Xiao Fei ordered the third company of the third battalion to make way for the enemy. The Japanese and puppet troops in Xiaonan Town fled south along that road while attacking, and finally met up with the reinforcements from Fengtian.

The third company of the third battalion also successfully entered Xiaonan Town from the south gate. At this point, Xiaoming Town and Xiaonan Town, the southern gate of Tiaobinshan County, were also recaptured by the First Army.

When the Third Battalion attacked Xiaonan Town, they rescued five soldiers from the prison who had not yet been killed by the Japanese, and released all the other prisoners.

But eleven prisoners did not run away. Instead, they asked the soldiers which unit they belonged to.

A soldier told them that they were from the First Anti-Japanese Army's direct regiment.

The eleven prisoners looked at each other in confusion; none of them had ever heard of this unit.

The soldiers could not explain to them any further and had to tell them to leave quickly, saying that the place had been recaptured. However, the eleven prisoners still refused to leave, saying that they wanted to see their commander.

After obtaining the consent of Political Commissar Xiao, two soldiers took the eleven prisoners to see Xiao Fei.

When they arrived at the Guizi Xiaonan Town headquarters, a sharp-eyed prisoner recognized Political Commissar Xiao who was looking at a map and shouted happily, "Xiao Fei!"

Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, then recognized the man. He happily ran over and hugged him, shouting, "Huang Dejiang, you are not dead yet?"

It turned out that these eleven prisoners were also members of the Anti-Japanese United Army. Huang Dejiang was their squadron leader. Under the leadership of the battalion leader, they fought guerrilla warfare against the Japanese in the southern mountainous area of ​​Tiaobinshan County.

The last time, the troops were surrounded by the superior Japanese troops in Fengtian and Xiaonan Town. They fought until they ran out of ammunition and food, and more than 30 people were captured.

Among the more than 30 captured Anti-Japanese Allied Forces fighters, a small number defected to the enemy, and some were killed by the Japanese, leaving only eleven of them.

Xiao Fei listened to Huang Dejiang's story, obtained their consent, and prepared to take them to the Oroqen tribe.
