Devil's Army

Leng Feng's decision to not allow Miao Nana's anti-Japanese drama troupe to perform north of Xiaoliang River was not groundless as he was worried about the unsafe situation there.

He knew that the Japanese had suffered a great loss in this battle and would definitely find ways to retaliate.

Sure enough, two days later he received a report from the First Regiment of the Third Brigade: three grenade explosions occurred north of Xiaoliang River, one in a military camp, one targeting a patrol soldier of the First Army, and one in a market with a large flow of people.

Leng Feng went to Tieling County Hospital to see Gray Wolf.

"Blood Wolf, how come you have time to come and see me today?"

"I heard that you were injured again, so I came to see you."

"Stop, can you remove it?"

"Oh, I heard that you were injured again, so I came to see you." Leng Feng said with a smile.

"Blood Wolf, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep talking about useless things."

"It's okay."

"Who are you kidding? There's something written all over your eyes."

"You are indeed a brother who lives and dies together. Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. There have been three Japanese grenade attacks north of Xiaoliang River. I want to go over and see what's going on."

"I'll go. I've been working on catching spies. You should go back to the tribe and think about the long-term plan for our troops."

"But your injury..."

"My injury is fine, but He Shiqi won't let me leave."

"I'll go ask Meilang first." After finishing, Leng Feng turned around and left the doctor's office.

After a while, Leng Feng returned to the doctor's office with a smile.

Gray Wolf had already changed his clothes and was ready to leave: "So? Mei Wolf, do you agree to let me leave the hospital?"

"Meilang said Xiao He said that you were hit by a rock and had dozens of hairs injured. You need to rest for two or three days."

"I have to rest for a few days just because I broke a few dozen hairs? What kind of logic is this? If I broke a nail, would I have to be hospitalized for a month?"

"It's mainly because you were too tired recently, and Xiao He wants you to rest for a few days. You should understand her painstaking efforts."

"Considerate, I am quite considerate. So? Can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"Meilang said it's okay."

When Gray Wolf and Leng Feng were about to leave the doctor's office, He Shiqi came over.

"What? The deputy commander wants to escape?"

"Reporting to Dr. Xiao He, the hairs on my back betrayed me. I shot them all dead. Now there is no problem of injury."

He Shiqi was delighted when she heard this, knowing that her trick had been discovered by Gray Wolf, but she still asked stubbornly, "Did Dean Yuan approve your discharge?"

"Xiao He, a group of Japanese spies have infiltrated the north of Xiaoliang River and are engaging in sabotage activities. The deputy commander has been in charge of reconnaissance work behind enemy lines, so it would be most appropriate for him to handle it." Leng Feng said to He Shiqi.

After listening to Leng Feng, He Shiqi said to Gray Wolf, "You can go over there, but you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest."

"Yes, Doctor He." Gray Wolf saluted He Shiqi with a standard military salute.

Gray Wolf and the two guards at the gate arrived at the military camp and immediately called the tribe, ordering Jackal to take two special operations teams to report to the Tieling County Regiment Headquarters.

More than two hours later, Jackal and thirty special forces soldiers arrived at the Tieling County Regiment Headquarters.

The gray wolf did not let them rest and immediately walked towards Xiaoliang River.

When we arrived at the south bank of Xiaoliang River, the old county magistrate was pointing and talking among a group of people.

"Old County Magistrate, what are you busy with?"

"Those bastards blew up the only bridge over Xiaoliang River, making it inconvenient for people to travel. I asked someone to build a temporary bridge."

"We can just build a simple temporary bridge. There is no important barrier to defend on the north side of Xiaoliang River. If the Japanese from Kaiyuan attack us, we may have to blow up the bridge to fight against them occupying the river."

"I know. I spoke to Commander Leng on the phone and he said the same thing."

"Then you guys get busy. I have military business to rush to the north."

"Okay, you go about your business."

Gray Wolf and his men reached the front line of the south bank and took two patrol boats to the north bank.

Gray Wolf and his men arrived at the temporary headquarters of the 1st Regiment on the north bank. The regiment commander was out capturing Japanese spies, and Political Commissar Hu was at the regiment headquarters.

"Commissar Hu, have you found any clues about the Japanese spies?"

"Deputy Commander, there is no clue. We caught several suspects at the scene. After investigation, we found that they were all residents of the north side of Xiaoliang River in Tieling County."

"The Japanese spies must have thrown the grenade and escaped when you weren't paying attention. You must have captured ordinary people who were unaware of the situation."

"That's what happened."

At this time, a regiment commander came in from outside, cursing. When he saw Gray Wolf, he immediately saluted and said, "Hello, Deputy Commander."

"What? No clue?"

"There is no clue at all. The Japanese have been entrenched here for so long, they must have a few holes."

"First, we will order the checkpoints from Kaiyuan to strengthen the inspection. We will not allow the Japanese to enter our defense zone with a single grenade or bullet. If there are no clues, we will weave a network, a people's network. We will leave no place for the Japanese spies who have infiltrated to hide."

"How do we weave this net?" asked a captain.

"Starting tomorrow, all residents north of Xiaoliang River will be re-registered, and newcomers will be strictly checked. Reporting stations will be set up at every intersection, and several soldiers will be posted to guard them. Citizens can report suspects to the nearest reporting station at any time."

The first step of the Gray Wolf was to block the transportation of munitions into the defense zone from the source, but it had little actual effect.
