Devil's Army

Why did Mr. Zheng feel uncomfortable after hearing this? Because he heard the familiar words: “We should not take even a single needle or thread from the people.”

Moreover, the army and the people are very similar in the way the red regime deceives the people.

"Commander Leng, your soldiers respect you very much." A reporter asked maliciously.

"If the soldiers led by our commander don't respect him, who should they respect?" Gray Wolf said casually.

Mr. Zheng looked at Leng Feng and felt more and more that this army was difficult to control.

The next day Mr. Zheng and the reporters went back.

On the fourth day, the photos and related articles were published in the Central Daily News. They were published in several issues in a row, with different photos and serial articles.

Once the newspaper was published, it immediately caused an uproar among the people across the country.

Unexpectedly, among the white mountains and black waters where the Northeast Army was defeated, there was still a team that persisted in resisting the Japanese. Enthusiastic young people from all over the country rushed to the vicinity of Tieling County to join the First Anti-Japanese Army.

As time goes by, more and more enthusiastic young people from all over the country rush to Tieling County to join the army.

Black Wolf could no longer handle the task alone, so Leng Feng transferred Red Wolf and Red Wolf from the special forces team to assist Black Wolf in training new recruits.

The Japanese guns captured in the Chaoyang County battle were originally enough to equip one and a half brigades, but now they have been distributed to the new recruits.

After the battles in Fuxin and Chaoyang County, the First Anti-Japanese Army's strength had shrunk to more than 30,000 men, but now it has quickly recovered to more than 40,000 men.

While the new recruits here are still in training, the passionate young people over there are rushing over to ask to join the army.

Soon, the First Anti-Japanese Army recovered to its peak strength of 50,000 people.

Then, we finally broke through the bottleneck of 50,000 people and reached more than 60,000 people.

Fortunately, the land reform in the base was implemented relatively early, and the military food reserves were relatively sufficient. It was really not an easy task to feed the more than 20,000 people who suddenly arrived.

The tribe’s recruit training ground can no longer accommodate so many recruits.

Red Wolf and Red Wolf brought a group of new recruits to the tribal airport for training.

The airport had been completed, and there were more than one hundred puppet army labor reform team members left. They were arranged to participate in the reconstruction work in Chaoyang County the day after Leng Feng returned.

The new recruits used up all the guns that the Japanese had stored after fighting for more than a year. The arsenal had to start producing guns and ammunition.

Leng Feng expanded two more brigades, the Seventh Brigade and the Eighth Brigade, based on the veterans of the six brigades. The Seventh Brigade was a reinforced brigade with four main regiments under its command. It was to be sent to take charge of the security and defense of various parts of the base. The troops originally defending the base would be transferred back to their original units.

The Japanese also read the newspapers and felt humiliated and furious, but at the same time they were also a little happy because they had never known where the evil troops that had troubled them for more than a year belonged to, and now they finally knew that they belonged to the Nanjing government.

The Japanese continued to increase their troops to put pressure on the Nanjing government. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also made the most serious and angry note to the Nanjing government, demanding that the Nanjing government abide by the Tanggu Agreement and severely punish the First Anti-Japanese Army that caused serious damage to their Imperial Japanese Army. If they did not follow their note, the Imperial Japanese Army would not hesitate to go to war with the Nanjing government.

This is naked coercion by force. It is like a robber who goes to someone else's house, burns, kills and robs, but then protests against being driven away.

But a weak country has no diplomacy, and the Nanjing government began to panic.

The Central Daily News calmed the people's anger and protests, but it also brought on the threat of force from the big bandit Japan.

The leader sent Minister He to mediate.

Minister He said to the Japanese consul: "The First Anti-Japanese Army is not a unit under the National Government. Look at their uniforms, flags and weapons. Which one looks like the troops of our National Government?"

The Japanese leader also knew something about the First Anti-Japanese Army. Their uniforms were different from those of any Chinese army they had fought against. They were very similar to those of the Imperial Japanese Army. Most of their weapons were also Japanese. But he still asked firmly:

“Why does your Central Daily News say they are the National Revolutionary Army of your Nanjing government?”

"First of all, I want to make it clear that: 1. Saying that they are troops under the battle sequence of our Nanjing government is the personal opinion of the newspaper reporter, and does not represent the opinion of our Nanjing government leaders. 2. It is a political need to quell domestic unrest. 3. To show our position, if you destroy them, we will never send a single soldier to reinforce them."

At this point, the Japanese consul had nothing to say and could only order Minister He to supervise his troops and strictly abide by the Tanggu Agreement.

Minister He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's for sure, for sure."

A serious diplomatic crisis ended in a transaction that sacrificed the life and death interests of the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Fortunately, everything the First Anti-Japanese Army has now was earned through their own hard work. Leng Feng and his men never expected the Nanjing government to provide them with manpower or weapons assistance!
