Devil's Army

He Shiqi was crying while hugging the gray wolf, when she suddenly thought of something. Her pretty face flushed, and she pushed the gray wolf away and ran away.

The gray wolf didn't pay attention and was pushed down by He Shiqi and sat on the ground.

The gray wolf stared blankly at He Shiqi who was running away, not knowing what to say.

"Captain, women are like this. They will lean on your shoulder when they need you, and push you down when they don't." The Jackal walked up and said.

"You still understand women." The gray wolf laughed at himself and stood up to brush the dirt off his butt.

He Shiqi ran to Qiuhua, Qiuhua opened the first aid kit, took out alcohol to disinfect He Shiqi's neck.

He Shiqi's neck was cut by the Japanese sergeant's sharp bayonet, leaving a small cut that was bleeding.

Qiuhua helped He Shiqi put on the bandage and asked with a smile, "Doctor He, is the deputy commander's shoulder comfortable to lean on?"

"What are you thinking, you little bitch? I was so scared."

"Yes, I was scared. Wow, what thick shoulders!"

"If you say that again, I'll tear your mouth apart." He Shiqi chased Qiuhua with a smile on his face on the battlefield.

"Captain, look," Jackal pointed at He Shiqi and Qiuhua who were chasing him and said, "They were crying just now, but now they are smiling again."

"So if you can study women thoroughly, you will definitely win the Nobel Prize."

Gray Wolf asked Wang Zhuangfei to arrange for the injured soldiers to be sent back to Tieling County Hospital after preliminary treatment. The First Battalion of the Second Regiment took over the defense of Fuxin County, and the other troops rested on the spot.

"Captain, shouldn't we take this opportunity to continue attacking Chaoyang?"

"It's impossible to raid Chaoyang now. The two battalions of Japanese soldiers that escaped will definitely retreat to Chaoyang. And the Japanese soldiers in Jinzhou will definitely send reinforcements. We suffered heavy casualties in the bombing by the Japanese bombers. Let the soldiers rest for half a day to restore morale. We will go back tomorrow to check the situation and act accordingly."

The next morning, the Second Brigade followed Gray Wolf and his men to Chaoyang County to investigate the situation. Wang Zhuangfei and his mixed troops were stationed outside Fuxin County.

It was already past nine o'clock when we arrived outside Chaoyang County, and the gate of Chaoyang County had not yet been opened.

The Japs on the city wall were defending with all their might as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"See? The Japs are defending very tightly." Gray Wolf handed the telescope to Jackal and said.

The jackal looked at it for a while and said to the gray wolf, "Captain, shall I take some people in to scout?"

"The Japanese dare not even open the city gates, how are you going to get in? Are you going to climb over the city wall?"

"Can this little wall embarrass us?"

"Forget it, there's no need. The risk is too high. Just take some people nearby and use a flying dragon to scout the city."

Jackal and two special forces members hid in an inconspicuous place outside the city wall, controlling the flying dragon and conducting reconnaissance in Chaoyang City.

Gray Wolf and the soldiers of the Second Brigade were waiting outside Chaoyang City for Jackal's reconnaissance results.

"Maolang, take a reconnaissance team to scout the south of Chaoyang County."

"Gray Wolf, do you want to open up the south of Chaoyang County?" Wu Lang asked after Mao Lang left.

"Yes, Blood Wolf also has this plan. There are high mountains and dense forests in the south of Chaoyang County, with many gullies and caves. There is a place called Qingfengling, where an anti-Japanese armed force is active. They control Qingfengling. Historically, it is the only land that has not fallen."

"Oh, the main purpose of your battle to recapture Fuxin County is to recapture the southern part of Chaoyang and then connect it to one piece?"

"Yes, attacking Chaoyang City is just like hunting rabbits with straw. If it's easy, attack it. If it's not easy, just bypass it."

At noon, when we were having lunch, the jackal came back.

"Captain, there are some Japanese soldiers in Chaoyang County wearing shabby clothes. They are probably the two battalions of Japanese soldiers that fled outside Fuxin City. The original garrison force in Chaoyang County should be the size of two to three squadrons."

"So there are less than two battalions of Japanese soldiers in Chaoyang City?"

"Yes, but the Japanese are ready for battle. Chaoyang County has high walls and the area outside the city is open. If the troops attack with all their might, the casualties will be high."

"The Second Brigade now has five battalions, nearly 4,000 people, and it shouldn't be a problem to attack more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers. The problem is that after this battle, only one regiment of the Second Brigade may be able to return. Moreover, Chaoyang is less than 100 kilometers away from Jinzhou. The Japanese soldiers in Jinzhou can continuously send more troops to attack Chaoyang. In this way, our garrison in Chaoyang will never have peace."

"So you plan to bypass Chaoyang?" Wulang asked.

"Yes, let's wait for Maolang to come back and find out the situation over there before we take action."

"Grey Wolf, I'll leave a battalion outside Chaoyang County. On the one hand, it can contain the Japanese in Chaoyang and Jinzhou, and on the other hand, it can also support your new base in the south of Chaoyang."

"Of course. Your battalion should cause trouble for the Japanese in Chaoyang and Jinzhou from time to time so that they don't have the energy to plan an attack on our base."

"Don't worry, our Second Brigade got rich by sneak attacks." Wu Lang said with a smile.

Near dusk the next day, Maolang came back. He summarized the deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops in most towns and villages south of Chaoyang County in a notebook and handed it to Huilang.

Gray Wolf looked at Mao Wolf's notebook carefully and found that the Japanese troops in this area were relatively scattered and there were no large forces, so they were easier to deal with.

The Gray Wolf decided to start retaking the southern area of ​​Chaoyang County tomorrow.
