Devil's Army

"The commander and I have used such a large amount of bait today but we still haven't been able to wipe out all the devils. It may be difficult to lure them into the trap again in the future." Gray Wolf said to Political Commissar Hu.

"Deputy Commander, why don't we recapture Kaiyuan? We can stop the Japs from coming to Tieling County at the source."

"Kaiyuan is an important town between Fengtian and Xinjing, and a major transportation route connecting Xifeng, Dongfeng, and Meihekou. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Once we recapture it, the Japanese in Fengtian and Xinjing can send reinforcements to it via the railway. It will cost too much for us to hold on to it. It is not realistic at the moment."

"Although it is unrealistic to recapture it, we can still cause trouble for it." Gray Wolf said to Political Commissar Hu.

"Blood Wolf, I'll watch from here and see if I can eliminate all the remaining devils."

"Okay, keep your eyes peeled. I think we can mobilize the residents of Tieling County to help you keep an eye on these devils. Let's go back first."

After Leng Feng left, Huilang and Political Commissar Hu felt that the focus of their work was still what Leng Feng said later: mobilizing the masses.

Next, Political Commissar Hu ordered a squad of soldiers to be stationed at each reporting station, so that the Japanese would not be able to attack easily.

The people's war is indeed effective. The residents next to the common people all know each other.

As soon as the common people saw the unfamiliar faces, they immediately reported to the reporting station, and the space for the Japanese to maneuver became smaller and smaller. On two occasions, they were almost surrounded by the soldiers of the First Army. It was the lieutenant who saw the common people lowering their heads and hurrying on their way, and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly led the remaining Japanese to retreat in advance and avoided being wiped out.

Finally, the Japs hid in an empty house after escaping the war.

Of course, there were no empty houses nearby, and the Japanese turned them into empty houses.

Several ordinary families suffered tragically at the hands of the Japanese devils.

After two days of continuous searching, these ten Japanese devils seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no clue at all.

"It's been so many days, it's impossible for the Japs to carry so much food with them. They must need to replenish their food." Gray Wolf analyzed.

Gray Wolf changed the direction of his search and dispersed his special forces to the vicinity of the vegetable market and grocery store, focusing on the short, bow-legged man.

Soon, there were many strangers around the markets and grocery stores. When someone went to those places to buy food, they would naturally walk up to pick things, and then ask the store owner if he knew the customer who just bought food.

The shop owner's answer repeatedly poured cold water on them: The one just now was Xiaolin from the intersection of Xilin Road, a regular customer. The one who just left was Xiaogang, his wife just gave birth to a child...

Two short men came to the rice shop. One of them bought a bag of rice and the other picked up a bucket of oil and left.

One special forces soldier followed the two of them as if nothing had happened, and the other special forces soldier entered the rice shop.

"Boss, are you familiar with the two people who just bought rice and oil?"

"Yes, the Liu brothers have a small fishing boat and make a living by catching small fish and shrimps."

"Okay, thank you!"

The special forces soldier walked out of the rice shop and shook his head at the special forces soldier who was following the two brothers.

The special forces soldier who was following did not continue to follow, but sat down at an intersection, smoking a cigarette, while his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, a soldier at the reporting station called out to two special forces soldiers near the grocery store, suggesting that they follow the man who had just come to the grocery store to buy noodles.

Because the grocery store owner had just run over to report to them: the man who bought noodles had never been here before, and he was very generous. He didn't even ask for change and left in a hurry.

The man who bought the noodles went into an oil refinery and closed the door.

After searching for so many days, they finally found something. The special forces members happily walked to another small shop not far away and asked the owner:

"Boss, are you familiar with this oil shop in front?"

"Oh, I'm not familiar with that oil shop. They've only been here a few days, but the oil they make using traditional methods is quite delicious."

It was normal that the grocery store owner didn't recognize him as he had only been there for a few days, and the special forces member was a little disappointed.

"Do you know the man who just went in?" the man asked the shop owner again.

"Oh, which man just went in? I didn't pay attention, but their boss seems to be sick, very sick. He is now hospitalized in Tieling County Hospital, and his wife has gone there to take care of him. The store was closed yesterday and today. His employee is the only one left in the store."

"Okay, thank you." The special forces member left the shop disappointed.

"No wonder he didn't open the door, it turns out the boss was sick. The suspicion of this oil refinery can also be ruled out." The special forces soldier thought while smoking cheap local cigarettes and looking at the oil refinery.

The two special forces members nearby saw the special forces member coming over and naturally walked up to him and asked, "How is it? What's going on?"

The special forces shook their heads at them.

The three special forces soldiers looked at each other in disappointment and dispersed.

"It's already dark now, and there's nothing to do anyway, so I might as well sneak in and take a look."

The special forces soldier who was following the man buying noodles thought, and then he climbed up the wall and slipped in.

Who knew that this curious idea would actually give him an unexpected surprise.
