Devil's Army

Back in the office, the old county chief said to Leng Feng: "The county government was established not long ago and is short of funds."

"How much money is needed? Old County Magistrate, just tell me the number and I'll ask the logistics department to send it over later." Leng Feng interrupted the old county magistrate and asked directly.

"Thank you so much, Commander. However, the development of Tieling County is not stable yet, so I don't know when I can return the money to you."

"The county government doesn't need to pay back the money. It can be considered as our army's investment." Leng Feng continued after drinking a cup of tea.

“Power plants are not necessarily profitable.”

"It's okay. We will share the losses with the county government."

The old county chief looked at Leng Feng and didn't speak for a long time. He had worked in the county government for so many years. Which leadership didn't try to make money? Only Leng Feng of the First Army never thought about how to make money, but how to benefit the people.

"What's the matter, old county magistrate? Is there something on my face?" Leng Feng asked, wiping his face.

"No, I just thought that we have a coal mine in Tiaobinshan County, and we can dig coal to supply our own power plant."

"That's not a problem. I'll arrange it."

Everything was resolved, and the old county magistrate didn't want to say thank you anymore, as that would be too polite.

The next morning, Leng Feng and the old county magistrate inspected the newly established police force in Tieling County in front of the Tieling County Police Station.

The police station chief was a company commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade. When he was guarding a small hilltop fortification, a Japanese artillery shell blew off his left arm. After losing his left arm, he was very depressed and didn't know what else he could do. Unexpectedly, the deputy commander transferred him here to be the police station chief, and he could pick up his beloved gun and protect the people again.

"Comrades, the Tieling County Police Station was established today. From now on, the safety of Tieling County depends entirely on you. Tieling County needs you! The people of Tieling County need you!"

There was warm applause from the police force.

These police force members are all injured soldiers from the army. Some of them have injured hands, some have injured legs and walk with a limp. There is even a captain who has an injury in his left eye...

Some of them were very confused, some were very depressed, they felt that they could no longer fight on the battlefield, could no longer touch a gun, and didn't know what to do in the future.

Who would have thought that now they have been transferred to Tieling County, changed into military uniforms, and can touch guns to protect the safety of the people. They have seen their own value again.

Then the old county magistrate said something else, and the police force will officially take up their posts today to maintain the security of Tieling County.

After inspecting the police force in Tieling County, Leng Feng returned to the Tieling County military camp.

The guard told Leng Feng that Brigade Commander Li was not there, and he and the deputy commander went to the east of Tieling County to investigate whether the Japanese in Fushun would attack Tieling County through Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County.

Leng Feng nodded to indicate that he understood.

In the afternoon, the police force on duty on the first day captured two prisoners who were suspected to be spies. Chief Li and two policemen personally escorted the two suspects to the military camp.

Arriving at the military camp, Director Li saw Leng Feng and saluted:

"Reporting to the commander, we have arrested two suspects in the county. These two people have been chatting with the locals, asking them if they have relatives in the Oroqen tribe. I asked those locals, but they all said they didn't know them."

"Not bad, you are quite alert. You guys go back to work, I'll take care of this."

The two suspects were shocked when they heard the policeman call the man in front of them "Commander". They didn't expect that this cold man was the leader of the Northeast First Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

Two guards took one of the suspects into a house, and Leng Feng followed suit.

After Leng Feng entered, he first looked at the suspect's knuckles, then sat at a table in front of him and asked coldly:

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"Sir, we are just businessmen. Tieling County's economy has been developing well recently, so we came here to see if there are any business opportunities."

"Do businessmen need to touch guns often?" Leng Feng asked, staring into the suspect's eyes.

"We didn't touch the gun, and we don't know how to shoot a gun." The suspect's psychological quality is very good, and he doesn't even need to prepare his lies.

"Just because I don't like violence doesn't mean I won't use it." Leng Feng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. The suspect's heart skipped a beat. But he still said stubbornly:

"Sir, we are truly businessmen."

"Take him away and bring another person in. If he tells you, there's no need for you to be alive." Leng Feng ordered the guards.

After the second suspect came in, his confession was the same as the previous one, saying that they were businessmen and came to see if there were any business opportunities in Tieling County.

"Tell me, who sent you? What do you want to do here? I don't want to hear your nonsense. The man just confessed, and I want to see if your confession is the same as his. If what he said is true, there is no need for you to live. If what you two said is false, you should go down together and continue your mission."

"Sir, we are really businessmen."

Leng Feng waved his hand, and the two guards on both sides of the suspect punched and kicked him, and soon his face was beaten into a pig's.

"Tell me, he said someone asked him to find a way to sneak into the Oroqen tribe. Who did you say sent you? I want to see if the person you are talking about is the same person he was talking about."

Leng Feng was trying to trick him. The suspect was fooled because they were indeed planning to sneak into the Oroqen tribe, and the companion had been dressed neatly when he went out, and had not been beaten at all, so he must have confessed. So he immediately said:

"I said, I said, we were sent by Mr. Zheng and we wanted to infiltrate the Oroqen tribe." The suspect quickly confessed.

Leng Feng ordered the guards to release the two men, and before leaving, he told them, "Tell Mr. Zheng not to do so many things on my land, or I will turn my back on you."

The two men nodded and agreed quickly, then left immediately.
