Devil's Army

At night, the commander of the first regiment assigned the task of registering and checking the residents on the north side of Xiaoliang River to the second and third battalions. The first battalion was stationed at the checkpoint fortifications from Kaiyuan.

The second and third battalions further subdivided the area into six companies, and the six companies further subdivided the area into eighteen platoons.

The next morning, the troops registered and checked residents in the areas they were assigned to the previous night.

There are not many residents living north of Xiaoliang River, and the registration and screening task soon came to an end.

At this time, an accident happened again. The reporting station at the intersection of the area in charge of the second platoon of the first company of the second battalion was attacked by a grenade from the Japanese. Two of the five soldiers at the reporting station died and two were injured, and a civilian who came to report was also injured.

When Gray Wolf heard the report, he was furious. It was not enough that our soldiers were injured, but the civilians were also implicated. He immediately ordered: "The platoon leader in charge of the investigation in that area should be suspended immediately and reflect on his actions."

"Reporting to the deputy commander, the second platoon leader of the first company was injured in the last battle and is now lying in the Tieling County Hospital." The second battalion commander reported.

"Then suspend the deputy platoon leader's post, and let the squad leader take over the work. Notice that in the future, if civilians are killed or injured in an area under the charge of a unit, the leadership of that unit will be held accountable."

"Captain, did the Japanese spies who sneaked in this time bring so many weapons?" asked the Jackal.

"Not necessarily. After all, the Japanese have been operating here for so long, it's not surprising that they have a few hiding places for weapons and ammunition. By the way, have our special forces dispersed?"

"In the morning, we dispersed them into groups of three. We asked them to wear plain clothes and patrol the areas they were responsible for."

Gray Wolf knew that their special forces had sharp eyes that could suck out Japanese spies from the civilian population like a magnet.

Sure enough, at around eleven o'clock, a special forces team escorted a Japanese spy back to the regiment headquarters.

"Where did you catch it?"

They were captured in the area under the charge of the second platoon of the second company of the third battalion.

Gray Wolf checked the patrol area allocation table of the troops and immediately knew that the Japanese soldier was captured near the regiment's temporary command post.

"He was following our patrol and looked a little strange, so we stopped him. We found two grenades on him, so we captured him."

"Is he the only one?"

“He was the only one seen at the scene.”

"No, there should be some Japanese spies nearby, interrogate them immediately!"

"Yes!" The special forces took the Japanese spy away.

"Political Commissar Hu, Political Commissar Hu!" Gray Wolf shouted loudly towards the gate of the regiment headquarters.

After a while, Political Commissar Hu heard the guard's order and trotted over to Gray Wolf:

"Deputy Commander, what do you want?"

"Arrange the regiment's special agent company to quietly ambush near the regiment's temporary command post. The Japanese have set their sights on this place."

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

"Captain, will the Japanese come to attack our regiment headquarters?" Jackal asked Gray Wolf.

"Not necessarily. We have captured a Japanese spy, which has already alerted them. They may not come. I made this arrangement just to be prepared."

"You mean there are other devils watching us while we're trying to capture this devil?"

"That's for sure. Just think about it. When our special forces go out for operations, there are at least three members in each area to cooperate with each other. Is it possible that they will only send one person to carry out the operation for such an important target as our regiment headquarters?"

Gray Wolf was right. The Japanese spy followed the Devil's patrol team not to attack the patrol team, but to find out the patrol time of the Devil's patrol team so as to formulate a plan to attack the Devil's headquarters.

Their talent was captured by the devil troops, and the lieutenant immediately cancelled the plan to attack the devil troops' headquarters, because he didn't know whether the captured soldier would reveal their plan or whether the devil troops would set a trap to catch them all.

The company commander of a special forces regiment divided his company into four squads and set them in ambush for 24 hours, but they never found any trace of the Japanese spies.

Gray Wolf went to the house where the Japanese spy was being interrogated. The special forces had been interrogating the Japanese spy for a long time. The Japanese spy kept his mouth shut, his ten fingers and ten toes were covered in blood, but he refused to utter a single useful piece of information.

Finally, Gray Wolf lost his patience and ordered the special forces to chop off the Japanese spy's head and hang him in the market.

"Deputy Commander, isn't this move of yours too cruel?" a team leader asked Gray Wolf.

"These Japanese spies are too stubborn. They have been deeply poisoned by militarism. If they want to go to the Yasukuni Shrine, I will send them to hell."

"Will this scare the people? They don't know his identity."

"That makes sense. How about putting him in a Japanese military uniform?"

"Order soldiers to be more vigilant and intensify patrols."

"Are you afraid of the Japanese's revenge?" asked the Jackal.

"The Japanese may take out their anger on the civilians, or they may see that the captured spies were executed by us and think that the information about their plan to attack the regiment headquarters has not been leaked, so they will continue to implement their plan to attack our regiment headquarters."

"Captain, this kills two birds with one stone. It not only intimidates the devils, but also dispels their concerns, allowing them to continue attacking our regiment headquarters."

"Now everything is ready. It just depends on whether the fish will take the bait." Gray Wolf lit a cigarette and muttered to himself.
