Devil's Army

In the tribe, Leng Feng took Yuan Wanting and the brigade commander who was not on duty to attend the celebratory dinner hosted by the Miao assistant leader.

At the banquet, Miao Nana wanted to sit next to Leng Feng. Leng Feng didn't mind, he always regarded Miao Nana as his sister, as long as her request was not too excessive, he would satisfy her.

Yuan Wanting was sitting on the other side of Leng Feng.

At the banquet, Miao Nana kept picking up food for Leng Feng, which made Leng Feng feel quite embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, Yuan Wanting knew Miao Nana's character and didn't mind. She listened quietly throughout the whole process.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the new year began and the sound of firecrackers began to ring one after another.

The next morning, Bayida, who had slept in the hall last night, wanted to return to the tribe.

Dongxue had not been to the tribe since she came to Tieling County Hospital, so He Shiqi simply took her, Ahua and Bayida's grandson to the tribe together.

Since the tribe stepped into the gate, it was like stepping on a red carpet.

People who had been suppressed for many years bought a lot of firecrackers and burned a lot of firecrackers.

The children in the tribe searched the red carpet for some unlit firecrackers. They lit the firecrackers with long fuses and peeled off the red paper wrapping the firecrackers with short fuses, then poured the gunpowder on the ground to form a long worm and lit it.

Looking at the long worm that was smoking and stretching forward, the children clapped their hands with joy.

As soon as Ahua and Bayida arrived at the tribe, they immediately pulled Dongxue into the group of children and started playing together.

The children also shared the fireworks that Ahua and his friends brought.

At this time, He Shiqi found Leng Feng and Yuan Wanting. Ah Hua pulled Yuan Wanting to play with them. Leng Feng then went with Gray Wolf to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li.

When we arrived at Mr. Li's house, Mrs. Li was preparing lunch while their two children went to play in the village.

Mr. Li, who was sitting at the door watching the children play, saw Leng Feng and Gray Wolf coming and hurriedly welcomed them into the house.

"Engineer Li, you don't regret coming to the tribe with me, right?" Leng Feng asked as he followed Engineer Li into the house.

"I don't regret it. On the contrary, I am quite grateful to you. I studied mechanics and went abroad for further studies in order to build a China with a strong industry and protect it from foreign enemies. Although China is still far from being strong and is being bullied by powerful enemies, I see the shadow of China's future in the tribe."

"Yes, our duty as soldiers is to keep the area safe. With our current capabilities, we can only keep the tribe and nearby bases safe. This is far from enough. We must also drive out all the devils and build a stable, prosperous, and powerful China."

"Engineer Li, you have also helped us a lot. Without you, our arsenal would not have been able to get on track and develop so quickly, and our tank unit would not have been formed so quickly." Gray Wolf continued.

"Speaking of the Arsenal, I had something I wanted to tell you about. But I got so busy lately that I forgot."

"Oh, tell me what it is. I'll prioritize those that can be solved."

"It's not a big deal. It's just the raw materials that arrived last time. I wanted to produce some more 150mm howitzers and anti-aircraft guns, but the troops urgently need 40 rocket launchers. We have produced several batches of 40 rocket launchers, but now we are running out of raw materials."

"Oh, contact the supplier in the next few days and ask him to purchase another batch of military raw materials for us. Change the meeting place to Tieling County or Tiaobinshan County. Don't go to Fengtian, it's too dangerous there."

"Okay, how much do you want to order?"

"It's not easy to book once, so why not book two ships this time? The unloading location is temporarily set at Hulu Port."

"Blood Wolf, are you planning to take Hulu Port? Half of the troops are new recruits now, and their combat effectiveness has dropped significantly."

"It takes about half a year for the goods to arrive. After such a long period of training, the new recruits have become veterans."

"That's true, but this distant water can't quench the thirst nearby. Should we try to get some nearby?"

"You mean to retake the Wangjiadagou gold mine?"

"Yes, there is a copper mine in Shujigou next to the Wangjiadagou gold mine. Copper is the raw material for making weapons."

"How did you know there was a copper mine in Shujigou next to Wangjiadagou Gold Mine?" Li Gong asked Gray Wolf and his team in surprise and confusion. You know, Gray Wolf and his team had never been to Shujigou for investigation.

The gray wolf and the man looked at each other. There was no way to explain this, because historical records showed that there had been a copper mine here before the time travel, and it was changed to Hongtoushan Copper Mine after liberation.

Gray Wolf could only pretend to be mysterious and said, "The secret cannot be revealed." After saying that, he and Leng Feng burst into laughter.

"It's time to have lunch. You men don't talk about auspicious things during the New Year, but are still thinking about fighting and killing." Mrs. Li complained as she brought some food over.

"Madam Li, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Leng Feng apologized to Madam Li.

"Alas, Commander Leng, you are too serious. I don't understand women. Without your fighting and killing, how could the tribe be so peaceful and happy now?" Li Gong and Mrs. Li both came from the Japanese-occupied area. They knew the lives of the people in the Japanese-occupied area best. Every day, they had to keep their heads down and be "obedient citizens".

Mrs. Li did not refute Mr. Li because what Mr. Li said was true.

"Should the Third Brigade go?" After lunch, Gray Wolf asked Leng Feng in a low voice while Mrs. Li was cleaning up in the kitchen.

"The Third Brigade is mainly composed of veterans, so let them fight the reinforcements. The Eighth Brigade will lead this battle, and more than half of them are new recruits. It's time to give them some training."

"Okay, after two days of rest, I'll ask Red Wolf to bring the Eighth Brigade over."
