Devil's Army

The next morning, several soldiers knocked down a wooden pillar in the market and hung a headless body wearing Japanese military uniform on the pillar.

Two soldiers with guns stood on either side of the body.

"Be alert, the Japanese may attack our regiment headquarters at any time." Gray Wolf said to Political Commissar Hu.

But what surprised Gray Wolf was that the Japs' attack did not come, but another person who frightened him came instead.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, three trucks stopped suddenly in front of the regiment headquarters.

Two teams of guards escorted a man into the regiment headquarters.

When Gray Wolf saw this man, he was so scared that he screamed, "My goodness, the devils are attacking us everywhere, and you come here at this time."

"The old county chief's simple bridge has been built. I drove over here to test its sturdiness. I have nowhere else to go, so I came to sit at your place."

"Don't you know it's dangerous here?"

"You're not afraid of the gray wolf, so why should I be afraid?"

"We are planning to lure the Japanese spies into the trap and attack our regiment headquarters. If you come to the headquarters at this time, won't that make me nervous?"

"Then I came at the right time. Now that we are both here, the chips are enough, right? How can the fish not take the bait?"

"Commander, I'll send someone to take you back to the south bank." Political Commissar Hu was also very worried.

But Leng Feng shook his head and refused.

"Blood Wolf, your guards are here. The devils don't have the courage to attack us."

"That's easy. Just find an excuse to transfer them away."

As soon as I mentioned finding an excuse, a great excuse came up.

The guard came to report: the two soldiers who were guarding the Japanese corpse in the market were attacked by Japanese grenades and both died. The Japanese corpse was also burned to ashes by someone pouring alcohol on it.

"The platoon leader in charge of that area has led people there and questioned the people who witnessed the incident. But most of them said they didn't notice anything. Only one local citizen said he saw two villagers pouring an unknown liquid on the body of the Japanese soldier, then setting it on fire and burning the body."

"Captain Liu, take all the guards and rush to the scene."

"Commander, Platoon Leader Wu has already sent people to deal with the situation at the scene. Let the guards stay by your side to protect you." Captain Liu suggested to Leng Feng.

"What do you know? Follow the order immediately."

The captain had no choice but to bring all the guards he brought with him to the scene of the incident.

"Political Commissar Hu, the lives of the commander and I are in your hands," said Gray Wolf.

Leng Feng passed the regiment headquarters, and the Japanese lieutenant had been watching from the dark of the regiment headquarters. Although they did not know the man who entered the regiment headquarters, they could infer that the man's status was not low from the respect shown by the officers and soldiers of the headquarters.

The lieutenant sent two men to attack the two Devil's Army soldiers guarding the bodies of their companions, while the others hid near the regiment headquarters to see how the situation developed.

The lieutenant saw Leng Feng's entire guard unit move out, and was very happy that his feint to the east and attack in the west had succeeded.

At noon, when the soldiers were having lunch, the lieutenant and half of the soldiers passed by the regiment headquarters as if nothing had happened.

When they arrived near the entrance of the regiment headquarters, the lieutenant suddenly opened fire, and two guards were shot and killed on the spot.

More than 20 Japanese soldiers rushed into the regiment headquarters, and they skillfully coordinated with each other to attack the regiment headquarters. There were also more than 20 Japanese soldiers outside the regiment headquarters to support them.

Political Commissar Hu arranged several guards to block the Japanese attack inside the command center.

The lieutenant heard that the gunfire inside the headquarters was not very intense, so he ordered the soldiers to rush into the headquarters as if nothing had happened.

At this time, more than 40 soldiers from the special forces company who were ambushed on the wall of the headquarters stretched out the black muzzles of their guns on the wall and fired fiercely at the Japanese in the headquarters compound.

Soldiers from the special forces company who were not on duty also surrounded the regiment headquarters from both sides.

The lieutenant knew he had been tricked, and he rolled over with the Japs, dodging bullets while trying to escape from the regiment headquarters.

The more than 20 Japanese soldiers outside who were supporting him also fired fiercely at the soldiers of the First Army who were surrounding them from both sides, trying to help the lieutenant and his men escape.

Leng Feng and Huilang wanted to come out of the regiment headquarters to see the battle situation, but they were blocked inside the headquarters by the guards arranged by Political Commissar Hu.

"Gray Wolf, it seems we have become prisoners of war." Leng Feng said helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. I have to bow my head under someone else's roof."

With the risk-taking cover of the soldiers around him and the desperate support of the soldiers outside, the Japanese lieutenant finally escaped from the regiment's headquarters with about ten remaining people.

The special forces company chased after them, but the remaining Japanese soldiers took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain and escaped among the civilians.

The battle was over. Leng Feng and Huilang regained their freedom and walked from the regiment headquarters to the regiment headquarters compound.

Political Commissar Hu apologized to Leng Feng and Hui Lang, saying, "We had a company of more than 100 special agents but failed to wipe out this group of devils. Please punish us, Commander and Deputy Commander."

"How many Japanese spies have come?" asked Gray Wolf.

“Close to fifty.”

"So how many escaped?"

"Nearly ten devils escaped from our special forces company's encirclement."

"You really should apologize. If you hadn't captured me and the deputy commander, the two of us could have defeated these ten Japanese devils with a force of five to one." Leng Feng patted Political Commissar Hu on the shoulder and said.

Gray Wolf handed cigarettes to Leng Feng and Political Commissar Hu. He was thinking, "These fifty devils were able to escape from the encirclement of nearly 200 people. It can be seen that they are quite capable. How can we eliminate them?"
