Devil's Army

The battalion commander ordered the deputy battalion commander to take the soldiers of the battalion to garrison Deshengtai and cooperate with the labor reform team to carry out land reform.

He took a dozen wounded soldiers and the bodies of several fallen soldiers, and together with the mobile troops, escorted the captured puppet troops and guards back to the tribe to report to Leng Feng.

Leng Feng and Huilang heard the report from the battalion commander in the operations room and did not say anything.

Victory in the battle of Deshengtai was a foregone conclusion. The only unexpected thing was that they lost an artilleryman for it. It is not easy to train an artilleryman.

After a long pause, Leng Feng said, "It seems that we are still guilty of contempt."

Gray Wolf nodded and said, "Let's go check on the wounded."

Leng Feng nodded, and he and Huilang walked towards the infirmary.

When we arrived at the infirmary, Teacher Tan and two nurses were performing surgery on a seriously injured soldier. Yuan Wanting was instructing He Shiqi and several veteran nurses to treat the wounds of several other lightly injured soldiers who had no serious injuries.

Several wounded soldiers nearby who had already recovered from their wounds saw Leng Feng and Gray Wolf coming in and wanted to salute them, but were stopped by Leng Feng and the others.

Yuan Wanting saw Leng Feng coming in. She didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly at him and continued to guide them in their work.

At this time, there was a lot of noise coming from the hospital entrance. Leng Feng frowned and said nothing.

Then two soldiers rushed in carrying a wounded man, shouting as they ran: "Dean Yuan, Dean Yuan, hurry up, hurry up and save our brigade commander."

Leng Feng and Hui Lang looked at the wounded on the stretcher. It was He Guihua, the deputy commander of the Sixth Brigade. She looked pale and her eyes were tightly closed.

"Hurry, carry her over here." Leng Feng ordered the soldiers to carry He Guihua to an empty operating table next to the operating room.

Yuan Wanting and He Shiqi handed over the work at hand to other nurses, immediately prepared the instruments, and entered the operating room.

As soon as Leng Feng walked out of the operating room, he was bumped into by someone.

Leng Feng looked carefully and found that it was Liu Yaohua, the commander of the Sixth Brigade. He scolded in a low voice: "Slow down, why are you so reckless?"

"Commander, who is Deputy Brigade Commander He?" Liu Yaohua asked after quickly saluted when he saw that it was Leng Feng.

"She's being rescued. What's going on?"

"We were attacking Duolun, and a Japanese artillery shell happened to explode next to the brigade headquarters. He Guihua rushed over and pushed me down, but she couldn't dodge in time and was hit by two pieces of shrapnel. The medical staff of the brigade headquarters has already given her a simple treatment."

Leng Feng nodded and said nothing more. Gray Wolf was standing nearby, staring at the operating room nervously.

More than two hours later, the door of the operating room opened, and He Shiqi and another nurse pushed He Guihua into a ward.

Yuan Wanting took off her mask and said to Gray Wolf and Leng Feng:

"She had been treated briefly when she arrived. Now the two shrapnel have been removed. She is fine, but..."

Yuan Wanting stopped here and didn't continue.

"Just what's the matter?" Gray Wolf asked nervously.

"One of the shrapnel hit her abdomen and has been taken out. Another shrapnel hit her fallopian tube and has also been taken out, but her fallopian tube was severely damaged, and she will never be a mother again." After saying this, Yuan Wanting lowered her head and trotted away.

The gray wolf stood there in a daze, not saying a word.

Leng Feng felt very sad after hearing this. A young girl lost her qualification to be a mother forever. This was something that no girl could accept.

Liu Yaohua didn't say anything for a long time. After a long while, he said to Leng Feng:

"Commander, our Third and Sixth Brigades are back. They are all gathered on the playground, waiting for your speech."

After hearing this, Leng Feng followed Liu Yaohua to the playground.

As soon as Leng Feng arrived at the playground, Li Guozhu, the commander of the Third Brigade, immediately shouted, "Everyone, stand at attention."

Leng Feng looked at the group of ragged soldiers in front of the playground, saluted, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Comrades, you have worked hard! You are home now!"

"Home" is a warm word. Soldiers fought bloody battles just to defend this home.

All of a sudden, the soldiers on the playground cheered: "We are home, we are home..."

Only then did Leng Feng notice that there were far more than the 15,000 soldiers brought out by the 3rd and 6th Brigades on the playground.

He pointed at the soldiers on the playground and asked Liu Yaohua: "Why are there so many more soldiers?"

"We have been fighting in Chahar for nearly two months. In fact, nearly half of the soldiers in our two brigades have been killed or wounded," Liu Yaohua replied.

"Later, the Chahar Anti-Japanese Allied Army fell apart under the dual threats of the Nanjing government and the Japanese army. Many troops envied our army's excellent weapons configuration and the strong combat effectiveness of our soldiers, and they asked to join our First Army and fight the Japanese with us. So I brought them all here," Liu Yaohua said, pointing.

"Okay, Liu Yaohua, you are really a lucky man for me." Leng Feng said happily.

Then Leng Feng said sadly:

"After you left, the Japanese launched two encirclement and suppression campaigns against us, and our troops suffered heavy casualties. The number of troops has dropped sharply from more than 35,000 to less than 20,000 now. You take them down first to have a good rest and a full meal. If there is not enough room, you can stay in the barracks of the Fourth Brigade."

Liu Yaohua nodded, and he and Li Guozhu took the troops downstairs to rest.
