Devil's Army

Gray Wolf collected military rations from nine villages in four days, and then arranged the soldiers of this battalion near these nine villages to prevent the Japanese grain collection team from coming to harm the villagers of these nine villages.

After dinner in the evening, He Guihua took Gray Wolf for a walk near the regiment headquarters.

"Gray Wolf, do you like children?" He Guihua asked.

"I like it. It's lively here with kids." Gray Wolf responded truthfully.

"If you like us, let's get married. I want to have a baby for you. My body is well now." He Guihua looked at the gray wolf with a red face.

"Let's talk about it after a while. The anti-Japanese situation is so serious now." Gray Wolf remembered what Leng Feng said and evaded the question.

"I can see that He Shiqi likes you very much. You are not allowed to get too close to her." Women's feelings are quite accurate.

"No, don't make blind guesses."

Gray Wolf didn't expect that because of his evasion, He Guihua's plan to marry him would never come true.

The next morning, Gray Wolf took another battalion from the regiment to a distant village to collect grain.

Although the nine villages were still under the jurisdiction of the devils a few days ago, the actual control had fallen into the hands of their army.

Gray Wolf wanted to collect the food from the villages near Fushun from Fengtian, and then send troops to garrison here. After retaking Fushun, it would not be so easy for the Japanese from Fengtian to come to reinforce.

Gray Wolf and the Second Battalion were collecting grain when the commander of the First Battalion reported to the commander of the Third Regiment: the Japanese devils in Fengtian had sent out a large group in an attempt to surround them.

The commander of the Sixth Brigade personally led the team and took away the brigade's direct battalion and two companies of the Third Battalion to reinforce the First Battalion.

Before leaving, the third regiment commander asked a little worriedly: "Is it enough for the brigade to leave only one company?"

"The deputy commander will lead the second battalion to guard the road from Fengtian to Fushun, and we will guard the road from Fengtian here. As long as we can hold our positions on both sides, the brigade headquarters will be safe." Liu Yaohua said to the commander of the third regiment.

The first and second companies of the first battalion guarded the two roads leading to the nine villages where they collected grain, and the third company served as a reserve in the rear.

But what was strange was that the Japanese surrounded their positions and did not launch an attack immediately, but instead continued to bombard them with artillery.

The fortifications of the first company at the forefront had collapsed in many places due to the Japanese artillery fire. Soldiers were buried inside, and the soldiers nearby quickly dug them out.

A soldier who was dug out scratched his ears which were buzzing from the explosion and cursed in the direction of the devils:

"Fuck you, come over here if you can and fight me face to face. Don't bully others just because you have more shells."

The platoon leader next to him threw him a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Shuanzi, how many Japanese have you killed?"

"Less than ten." Shuanzi replied while continuing to pick his ears.

"How long have you been in the army? How many battles have you fought in? You only killed nearly ten Japanese devils." The platoon leader asked again in disbelief.

"Two," Shuanzi answered after digging the dirt out of his ears.

The soldiers nearby laughed when they heard this. A platoon leader kicked him and cursed, "Two is two. You said less than ten."

"Platoon leader, two means less than ten, right? I'm not bragging." Shuanzi said, still feeling aggrieved.

The platoon leader was speechless and stared at Shuanzi with wide eyes. Shuanzi said nothing and continued to pick his ears.

Brigade Commander Liu suddenly stopped the troops as he felt someone was watching them in the nearby woods.

But after the troops stopped, he stared carefully at the bushes on both sides for a long time, but did not find anything unusual.

This was their defense zone, maybe he was overthinking it. He ordered the troops to continue moving forward.

Brigade Commander Liu led his troops to the front line and asked the battalion commander, "What's the situation?"

"The Japanese have a lot of money. Except for a charge when they first arrived, which was repelled by us, there has been continuous shelling since then. They have not launched any more charges." A battalion commander said with some confusion.

"Oh?" The brigade commander picked up the sniper rifle's telescope and looked towards the Japanese position.

The enemy's positions were densely packed with soldiers in yellow clothes. They were all armed with live ammunition and could charge at any time.

It was unreasonable to send so many Japanese soldiers to this remote village. Moreover, the tactics of this group of Japanese soldiers were different. In the past, the Japanese soldiers' tactics were always artillery bombardment, followed by infantry charge. Or tanks and infantry charge coordinated to quickly occupy their positions.

Now they are just bombarding but not charging. Why? "Perhaps the Japanese have enough shells, and they want to reduce the casualties of their soldiers." Liu Yaohua thought. He ordered the soldiers:

"We must pay attention to the defense against artillery fire, and also be careful of the Japanese launching sudden charges."

Since Gray Wolf and the Second Battalion were busy harvesting crops, Liu Yaohua thought: With two battalions and two companies, except for the artillery fire, their manpower and firepower had already crushed the Japanese. He could handle the Japanese in front of him, so he did not call Gray Wolf.

On both sides of the path where Liu Yaohua had just stopped, a troop of 500 to 600 people suddenly came out after Liu Yaohua's troops left. The firepower of this troop was fierce, and each person had a submachine gun.

The troops quickly assembled and then headed towards the brigade headquarters of the 6th Brigade.
