Devil's Army

"When the Japanese gather enough troops and collect enough strategic materials, they will attack us from Qingyuan County, Kaiyuan City, Yaobao Town, Xiaoming Town, Xiaonan Town, and Zhangwu County at the same time. Do you think we can hold on?"

Wu Lang and Wang Zhuangfei looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"Yes, the commander has also considered this. In order to prevent the worst from happening, we must take advantage of the fact that his troops and military supplies have not yet been gathered, recapture Fuxin first, and attack Chaoyang. We will connect with the dense forests in the Qingfeng Ridge area of ​​Chaoyang. This will greatly expand our strategic room for maneuver."

"How are you going to arrange it?"

"The commander has decided that your Second Brigade will lead the attack in this battle. After retaking Fuxin, you will attack Chaoyang without stopping."

"Chaoyang is less than a hundred kilometers away from the enemy's important city of Jinzhou. Is it a bit dangerous?"

"The Japanese have always wanted to bring the war to our base. Now we want to bring the war to their doorsteps, so that they can't protect themselves and have no energy to think about how to attack our base."

"Then when do we take action?" Wu Lang and Wang Zhuangfei asked at the same time.

"You should start preparing immediately. Wu Lang, take the medical team with you. I will discuss this with the army commander. Once you receive the order, set off immediately."

"Yes." Wulang and Wang Zhuangfei saluted Gray Wolf and left the regiment immediately. Gray Wolf also left the regiment and returned to the tribe.

Gray Wolf returned to the tribe and reported the situation to Leng Feng. Leng Feng decided that the troops would prepare strategic materials tomorrow and set out at six o'clock the day after tomorrow morning.

Gray Wolf immediately conveyed the order to Wu Wolf and Wang Zhuangfei, and at the same time ordered Jackal to assemble the special forces and prepare to set off at seven o'clock tomorrow morning to look for fighter planes near Fuxin first.

When Gray Wolf and his men arrived near Fuxin, the main force hid on the spot. He and the reconnaissance team took Feilong and waited for an opportunity to sneak into Fuxin City.

Since there had been no fighting, the gates of Fuxin were not well guarded, so Gray Wolf and his men managed to sneak into Fuxin without much difficulty.

The reconnaissance team met in a small alley near the city gate, and then divided into groups of three to disperse and gather intelligence. They met again in the alley in the evening.

Back in the alley in the evening, Gray Wolf combined the intelligence gathered by everyone and deduced that the number of the Japanese in Fuxin County was only two squadrons, and the puppet army was only more than 200 people.

It should not be difficult to capture Fuxin, but the difficulty lies in dealing with the reinforcements coming from Jinzhou.

Gray Wolf placed the information in the belly of the flying dragon and passed it to the special forces outside Fuxin City. At the same time, he ordered Jackal to take another small team into Fuxin City before the Japanese closed the city gate.

Due to the lack of support from comrades in the city, the activities of Gray Wolf and the two special forces teams that were unfamiliar with the area were greatly restricted.

In order to support the troops' attack on Fuxin City tomorrow morning, Gray Wolf and his two teams stayed at the corner of a small alley not far from the city gate.

Occasionally, one or two ordinary people who were about to go out would open the door and see Gray Wolf and his companions, and would be so scared that they would quickly close the door.

Gray Wolf knocked on the door of a villager with a small courtyard and told him that they were members of the First Anti-Japanese Army fighting the Japanese invaders, and that it was not safe for the troops outside, so he asked if they could hide in his small courtyard for a day or two. He also took out ten dollars and gave it to the villager, asking him to help arrange food for the troops.

Looking at the group of young men holding guns, the fellow villager chose to believe them. Because if they were bandits or robbers, they could just use the guns in their hands to force their way into his home and steal his food and money instead of paying him to negotiate.

The villager asked Gray Wolf and the other thirty-two men to hide in the small courtyard, and refused to accept the ten dollars that Gray Wolf handed to him.

But Gray Wolf forcefully stuffed the ten dollars into the fellow's pocket and said to him:

"You've already done us a big favor by letting us hide in the courtyard. We can't let you pay for preparing food for us."

"But you don't need so much money in just one or two days?" the fellow villager said honestly.

"It's okay. The extra money can be used as our accommodation fee. You can keep it to improve your life. You and your sister-in-law can buy food and vegetables separately. Otherwise, buying so much at once will easily arouse suspicion from others."

"We just bought some rice the day before yesterday, which should be enough for the next three days. The mother and I can just buy some meat and vegetables separately."

"Thank you for your help, be careful."

At six o'clock the next morning, Wulang left one regiment to garrison Zhangwu County, and the other two regiments marched towards Fuxin with the military medical team.

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Wu Lang led a large force to approach Fuxin County. Wang Zhuangfei and his troops had already arrived in Fuxin County by car and camped more than ten miles northwest of the county.

Jackal received Wulang and showed him the intelligence that Gray Wolf had gathered in Fuxin County.

After seeing this, Wulang also agreed with Huilang's point of view and decided to focus on attacking the reinforcements.

He intended to show weakness to the enemy and sent only one battalion to attack Fuxin.

Wu Lang ordered the First Battalion of the Second Regiment to attack Fuxin from two gates, with the East Gate, which was supported by the special forces, as the main attack, and the North Gate as a feint. At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, both gates would launch attacks at the same time.

The atmosphere of war permeated outside Fuxin City, while the Japanese and puppet troops inside Fuxin City were still in the dark.
