Devil's Army

Wen Lang waited until Leng Feng hung up the phone before asking him, "Xue Lang, what happened?"

"The Japanese fired poison gas bombs at our positions east of Tieling County, and two companies of the first brigade were killed without anyone noticing."

"These devils really have no bottom line."

"Barun, gather the troops immediately and stop the Japanese here for me."

"This battalion is all that's left in the tribe. Once it's transferred away, the tribe will be empty."

"I don't care about that anymore. The tribe won't be in danger for the time being. Let's eat these devils first."

"Yes, Commander, how long shall we hold out?"

"Wait till it's ready to rain."

Baron was confused. You said we can wait for one day, one week, so that he can make plans. But now you say we can wait until it rains. What's going on?

But a soldier's duty is to obey orders, so he did not ask any more questions and immediately went out to organize the troops to rush to the destination.

Then Leng Feng called Wu Lang from the Second Brigade.

Someone at the Second Brigade headquarters soon answered the phone, and the person who answered was the Second Brigade Commander Wu Lang.

"Wulang, except for the garrison troops in Zhangwu County, transfer all other troops to Tieling County. Reinforce the army regiment on the mountain road in front of Tieling County. Barun has already gone there to set up the position."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Lang immediately gathered his troops overnight and quickly advanced towards the mountain road position east of Tieling County.

As it got dark, the Japs stopped their attack and continued to consolidate the positions they had already occupied.

This gave Leng Feng and his men ample time to deploy their troops.

Leng Feng also ordered to set up a checkpoint in front of the Tieling County mountain road position to the west, and sent plainclothes officers to the original east position of Tieling County. The only purpose was to prevent the people on both sides from entering the Tieling County mountain road position where they were preparing to fight.

In fact, Leng Feng's action was just a precautionary measure, because once a battle broke out over there, the common people would not go there at all.

After daybreak, the Japanese soldiers occupying the eastern positions of Tieling County suddenly discovered that the regimental headquarters of the Devil's Army, with which they had fought fiercely yesterday, had disappeared without a trace, and they did not know where they had fled to.

Major Sato ordered his troops to continue advancing westward.

The Japanese soldiers walked very carefully along the way for fear of being ambushed.

When they reached a sunken place on the mountain road in Tieling County, the group of Japanese devils finally encountered fierce resistance from the devil's troops.

A battalion of Baron was ordered to hold off the Japs here until it started to rain.

Baron also received a strange order from Leng Feng: send two soldiers to watch on the top of the mountain, and once the west wind blows, order the troops in the position to be ready to retreat at any time.

Barron had fought in so many battles, but he had never fought a battle based on weather conditions. But orders were orders, and he was responsible for executing them.

At this time Leng Feng also rushed to Baron's regiment headquarters.

He knew that Baron had never seen a poison gas bomb, and it would be difficult to explain it to him, so he personally went to the front line to take charge. Once the west wind blew and the Japanese attacked the position with poison gas bombs, he would immediately order the troops to retreat.

He couldn't bear to see his troops die in large numbers again.

The Japanese also wanted to continue using poison gas bombs, but the wind was always blowing from the east. When the poison gas bombs were fired, the poison gas would drift into their positions. Wouldn't that be poisoning themselves?

So Major Sato could only order the soldiers to continue charging, with mortars and small mountain artillery for cover.

But the Oroqen people were famous for their bravery and fighting ability. Their reinforced battalion withstood the fierce attacks of the Japanese for two days.

When night fell, Leng Feng looked at the starless and intermittently visible moon and ordered the troops that had been waiting beside him to prepare for action.

The humidity on the mountain is so high that you can squeeze water out of the grass.

The Japanese soldiers in the depression were sleeping. The special operations team next to Leng Feng took action.

With a series of muffled sounds, shells flew towards the Japanese camp.

After these shells landed, there was no loud explosion, but instead a "hissing" sound was heard, emitting yellow-green gas.

The next morning, Major Sato ordered the Japanese troops in the valley to launch an attack. He wanted to reach the gate of Tieling County as soon as possible, and then cooperate with the Japanese troops north of Xiaoliang River to occupy Tieling County in one fell swoop.

But what surprised him was that no one answered the phone at the Japanese headquarters in the valley. He sent several waves of messengers over, but they disappeared like yellow cranes.

If he was shot by a sniper from the Devil's Army, there should have been gunfire, but he only heard birds chirping.

Helplessly, Major Sato had to personally lead a large group of Japanese troops to find out the truth.

At this time, it began to rain, and the rain got heavier and heavier, washing away everything it encountered.

Baron breathed a sigh of relief. He not only waited until the sky was about to rain, but also waited until it had already rained.

He called Leng Feng to ask whether the troops should retreat.

But Leng Feng gave him another strange order: the troops should neither attack nor retreat.

Baron had no choice but to continue to carry out Leng Feng's strange orders.
