Devil's Army

At this time, the Japanese troops that were besieging the 1st Battalion of the 6th Brigade suddenly retreated.

The commander of the Sixth Brigade immediately sent a telegram to Gray Wolf, telling him about the strange behavior of the Japanese here.

When Gray Wolf received the telegram from the commander of the Sixth Brigade, he felt something was wrong and ordered his troops to return to the brigade headquarters immediately.

When Gray Wolf led the Second Battalion to the grove, he stopped the troops. Years of fighting on the battlefield had made him feel a sense of danger and smell of blood. He ordered the soldiers to search both sides.

Soon, the soldiers carried out twelve patrolmen whose throats had been slit from the woods on both sides.

"The brigade headquarters is in danger, hurry back to the brigade headquarters." Gray Wolf ordered immediately.

When Gray Wolf and his soldiers ran back to the brigade headquarters, the battle there had already ended.

The bodies of the fallen soldiers of the First Army were lying in a mess at the entrance of the brigade and inside the brigade headquarters.

Gray Wolf was the first to rush into the brigade headquarters, only to see Political Commissar Guo lying on his back on the ground.

Gray Wolf stepped forward and sniffed Political Commissar Guo's breath, but he had already stopped breathing.

Gray Wolf rushed into the inner room of the brigade headquarters and saw He Guihua lying on her back on a table. Her pants had been taken off and her top was completely torn. She was already dead.

Gray Wolf pulled a sheet from the small bed that was usually used for rest in the brigade headquarters and covered He Guihua with it. He walked outside the brigade headquarters and calmly shouted to the soldiers:

"Search, search thoroughly to see if there are any living soldiers." He wanted to know what had happened and who attacked their brigade headquarters?

At this time, Liu Yaohua also rushed back to the brigade headquarters with his soldiers. When he saw the tragic situation around the brigade headquarters, he looked at the livid Gray Wolf and shouted, "Deputy Commander."

Gray Wolf didn't respond to him and continued to sit at the door smoking.

At this time, the second battalion commander in charge of the search came over to report to Gray Wolf: All the soldiers were killed, and the devils left no one alive. But we found that the bullet shells of these guns were different from the bullet shells used by the devils we usually encountered.

"Japanese special forces!" Gray Wolf said fiercely while staring at the bullet shell.

Liu Yaohua, who had already run into the brigade headquarters and was squatting next to Political Commissar Guo, heard what Gray Wolf said and immediately turned around and walked to Gray Wolf and asked, "Japanese special forces?"

Gray Wolf nodded and said, "These are submachine gun bullets commonly used by the Japanese special forces. We once fought against a small Japanese special forces team in Hejiazhai. I didn't expect that after so many months, they would appear here again.

Liu Yaohua also picked up the bullet shell and looked at it carefully. Then he put it in his pocket. He wanted revenge, revenge on the Japanese special forces.

Liu Yaohua ordered the soldiers to conduct a comprehensive search in the direction of Fengtian.

Gray Wolf knew that this was useless. Since the Japanese sent out a large battalion to lure the tiger away from the mountain and then retreated, it must be that their special forces team succeeded and retreated safely.

But he did not stop Liu Yaohua from doing so because he knew Liu Yaohua needed to vent.

Sure enough, the troops searched until evening but found nothing.

Liu Yaohua walked up to Gray Wolf with a frustrated look on his face and said, "Deputy Commander, I take full responsibility for this matter."

"Of course you are responsible. Why did you transfer the large force of the brigade headquarters without reporting to me?"

"I thought you were busy collecting food, and I can handle this large group of devils. I will report to you after I have defeated them."

"Forget it. Now is not the time to assign blame. Let's take care of the soldiers' affairs."

"We have arranged for someone to handle it, Deputy Brigade Commander He?"

"Deputy Brigade Commander He, don't worry about it. I'll take her back to the tribe."

The next day, Gray Wolf returned to the tribe with He Guihua, whose remains had been taken care of by medical staff.

The commander of the Sixth Brigade has reported to Leng Feng that the Sixth Brigade headquarters was attacked and that Deputy Brigade Commander He and Political Commissar Guo had died.

Leng Feng listened to Gray Wolf's report in detail and agreed with Gray Wolf's judgment: this was a decapitation operation by the Japanese special forces. Although it cannot be determined that this Japanese special forces is the Ono special forces that they had fought before.

Leng Feng immediately called the various brigade headquarters and told them to be on guard against the decapitation operation of the Japanese special forces. All unfamiliar troops were not allowed to approach the headquarters. This order was also notified to the company level.

He Guihua's funeral was simple. She had led guerrillas from Hejiazhao Village, and there were still fifteen of them. Her good friends from the infirmary also came.

He Shiqi felt mixed emotions as she looked at He Guihua, who was sleeping sweetly with her eyes closed.

When she heard that He Guihua could have a baby, she was very happy, thinking that she could compete fairly with Guihua for the position of Deputy Commander Tan.

However, He Guihua actually gave up the competition with her for the position of Deputy Commander Tan in this way.

Logically, she should be happy that no one was competing with her for the position of Deputy Commander Tan. But she was not happy at all.

She even felt a little guilty. If she had arranged the marriage between He Guihua and the deputy commander earlier, perhaps He Guihua would have married the deputy commander and even had a child. She would have fulfilled her greatest wish and died without regrets.
