Devil's Army

When Gray Wolf and his men were crossing the river, a company from the First Army heard the news and rushed over quickly.

More and more Japanese soldiers came over from the other side, and the two sides shot at each other across the Xiaoliang River.

Then a battalion commander was also attracted by the fierce gunfire. He sent troops to reinforce and passed the information to the regiment headquarters.

After hearing the report from the first battalion commander, the fifth brigade commander said to Political Commissar Li: "The deputy army commander just came over there. He is most familiar with the situation over there. Go ask the deputy army commander for his instructions. I will go to the front line to keep an eye on it now."

"Fifth Brigade Commander, where is the deputy commander?"

"He was shot in the arm while crossing the river and is now in Tieling County Hospital." The commander of the fifth brigade said as he walked out of the regiment command room.

The situation was urgent, so Political Commissar Li did not delay and immediately drove to Tieling County Hospital.

After hearing the report from Political Commissar Li, Gray Wolf immediately left the hospital and went to the front line to check the situation.

But He Shiqi wouldn't let him leave the hospital.

Gray Wolf tried to persuade He Shiqi in every possible way, but He Shiqi just wouldn't agree to let him leave the hospital.

Finally, Gray Wolf got angry and said to He Shiqi, "I order you to leave. I am leaving the hospital immediately and going to the front line to inspect the situation."

He Shiqi's stubborn temper also came up, pointing at Gray Wolf and shouting: "I order you to lie down and have a good rest. You are my patient now and you must obey my orders. If you have the guts, tell Commander Leng to remove me."

"My dear, there are many devils on the north bank. If they launch a full-scale attack, our regiment will not be able to hold on. I have to watch the front line. If there is any situation, reinforcements must be sent up immediately."

"There is the Fifth Brigade Commander at the front line, and Political Commissar Li is watching over us. We don't need a deputy commander like you."

Gray Wolf wanted to have some fun with He Shiqi. He was only slightly injured in his left arm, not his brain. He was familiar with the situation over there. He went to the front line to keep an eye on it and could give suggestions to the Fifth Brigade Commander and others at any time.

But He Shiqi gave a death order to a nurse next to Gray Wolf: "Qiuhua, you are not allowed to go anywhere today. Just stay here and watch the deputy commander. If he leaves this ward, I will hold you accountable!"

After saying this, He Shiqi turned around and left the ward. There was no way for Gray Wolf to persuade her any more.

Qiuhua is the older sister of the two sisters rescued by Huilang from the Japanese bacterial unit, and the younger sister is Dongxue.

Qiuhua certainly wanted to be able to stare at the man she loved all day.

She moved a stool to block the door and sat there.

"Sister Nurse, I'll just go out for a walk."

"I go with you."

"I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."

"I go with you."

"I'm going to the bathroom."

"I go with you."

Gray Wolf looked at Qiu Hua with a smile.

Qiuhua realized that she had made a slip of the tongue and added with a blushing face, "I'll accompany you to the toilet door."

"Political Commissar Li, please help me think of a way to get me out of the hospital. I'm really anxious."

"Deputy Commander, I think they are right. You should stay in the hospital to recover. I will report to you immediately if the Japanese have any new movements. What instructions do you have now?"

"Leave one platoon to guard the barracks, and the rest of you go forward. Use all your howitzers to fire at the enemy positions on the north bank. When you run out of shells, immediately ask the arsenal to ship more over."

"Are you not going to keep a reserve team?"

"No, our Tieling County has only 2,000 troops in total, while the Japanese on the north bank have 14,000 to 15,000. They have always wanted to attack our Tieling County, but they just can't figure out the true strength of our Tieling County."

"At present, his military deployment in Tieling County is limited to the intelligence sent to them by Sister Juan, saying that we have more than 10,000 people here. We can't show weakness and let them feel that we are short of troops."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

The Gray Wolf's special forces provided the coordinates to the Fifth Brigade and killed the lieutenant colonel who came to negotiate a joint attack on Tieling County, disrupting Commander Ling Qilong's offensive deployment against Tieling County.

But it was also because of the Gray Wolf's special forces that this battle across the river was triggered.

The army south of Xiaoliang River dispatched nearly a regiment of troops and artillery to fiercely attack the Japanese positions north of Xiaoliang River.

All the more than 4,000 Japanese garrison troops on the north side of Xiaoliang River participated in the battle, and more than 10,000 Japanese reinforcements were also ready to join the battle at any time.

The battle lasted until the evening, with both sides suffering casualties, and the troops were called off.

The next day, the soldiers on both sides of Xiaoliang River started shooting at each other again, not knowing who fired first. Then they bombarded each other again.

The more than 150 Japanese troops north of Xiaoliang River suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of the mm howitzers of the Devil Force's First Army.

Finally, they forcibly requisitioned some civilian houses near the north of Xiaoliang River to build fortifications, preparing to block the attack of the devil's troops.

However, after three days of shooting and shelling each other, the First Army did not launch an attack on the Japanese north of Xiaoliang River because of insufficient manpower.

The Japanese troops north of Xiaoliang River did not launch an attack on the devil troops in the south because their intelligence showed that the devil troops in the south numbered more than 10,000 people.

Perhaps out of fatigue, on the fourth day, there was no large-scale shooting and shelling between the two sides, only sporadic gunfire and shelling.
