Devil's Army

After two days of rest, while other troops were still immersed in the New Year atmosphere, the Eighth Brigade had already been fully armed and headed for Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County.

Of the ten political cadres that Jackal brought back to Secretary Li when he sent military uniforms a few years ago, Leng Feng assigned four to the Eighth Brigade. One was appointed as the political commissar of the Eighth Brigade, and three were appointed as the political commissars of the three regiments under the Eighth Brigade.

Moreover, on the way back, Jackal and his men accidentally rescued the small team of the Ssangyong team that had stopped the Gray Wolf's car on the small road last time.

The Shuanglong team was badly beaten by a small group of Japanese due to lack of weapons and ammunition.

Jackal took the weapons and ammunition from Feilong, and led the ten political cadres to attack the Japanese from behind, saving this small group of soldiers from the Shuanglong team.

This small group of soldiers from the Shuanglong Team got separated from the main force while breaking out, so they followed the Jackal and his men back to the tribe and were incorporated into the Eighth Brigade.

When they arrived at the tribe, the small squad of the Shuanglong Team truly felt the strength of the First Anti-Japanese Army. Whether it was weapons and ammunition, training, or the morale of the soldiers, they were not comparable to their original Shuanglong Team.

Soon after the Eighth Brigade set out, the Third Regiment of Liu Yaohua's Sixth Brigade also set out. Their main task was to prevent the enemy from Fengtian from reinforcing the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when the Eighth Brigade arrived near the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine. Chilang did not arrange combat missions, but instead arranged for the commanders and political commissars of the three regiments to meet at the temporary brigade headquarters to discuss tomorrow's combat plan.

Since the most difficult part of the combat mission, blocking the reinforcements from Fengtian, had been assigned to the old main force brigade, the Sixth Brigade, the Eighth Brigade of the Red Wolf, mainly dealt with more than 300 Japanese soldiers from two squadrons in the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine, and a squadron of Japanese soldiers in two artillery towers on the road from Fengtian to the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine.

A main brigade of more than 8,000 people fought against three Japanese squadrons of more than 500 people. It was more like live-fire training than a war.

Finally, the combat mission of Wangjiadagou Gold Mine was assigned to the First Battalion under the First Regiment, and the combat mission of attacking the two artillery towers on the road was assigned to the First Battalion of the Second Regiment.

The next morning, the troops arrived at the attack site as planned. Chilang personally went to the Wangjiadagou gold mine battlefield to watch the battle.

The battalion commander of the regiment was an old company commander transferred from another unit.

He observed the terrain and made a strategy of feinting attack from the front and attacking from both wings.

The battalion commander knew that this live-fire combat exercise was more important than actual combat, so he called two veterans over and said to them:

"Old Smoker, Xiao Wu, each of you take a new soldier and kill the four Japanese soldiers at the gate of the gold mine."

"Zhu Zi, Gou Sheng, each of you should bring your own recruits. As soon as the old smoker's gun sounds, you should kill the four Japanese soldiers on the watchtower inside the gate."

"it is good!"

"Get ready now."

A few minutes later, Old Smoker and Xiao Wu fired their guns, and the two Japanese soldiers at the entrance of the gold mine were knocked down instantly.

At the same time, Old Smoker, Xiao Wu and two new recruits also fired their guns, but they injured one Japanese soldier and the other shot hit the target.

"Damn it, you can't even hit such a big fixed target, you're just practicing Yuebai." The old smoker shouted at the two recruits.

The new recruit brought by the old smoker was fair-skinned, wore a pair of glasses, and was a college student from Peking.

There were more than 50 college students in this group, and Leng Feng was reluctant to let them fight on the front line. He only let them come with him to practice and see blood to strengthen their courage, considering that the battle of the Eighth Brigade was not fierce.

"Master, I just..." The man with glasses stood up and before he could finish his words, the old smoker pushed him down.

There was a loud bang and a bullet flew past the place where the man with glasses had just stood.

The old smoker shouted, "Be careful, you've wasted all this time studying. Can you stand up and speak at the front?"

The old smoker was obviously really angry. The new recruits he led were killed, and he was bound to be criticized and punished.

"Master, thank you for saving me."

"I'm not trying to save you, I just can't afford to lose face. If word gets out that the new recruits I led died at the beginning of the battle, that would be so embarrassing!"

"Master, you saved my life, how do you want me to repay you?"

"I don't want you to repay me, and I don't want you to give me your body. Just give me all the meat in your lunch. Be careful and aim well."

At this time, the first company of the first battalion had already started a frontal feint attack, and fierce bullets were fired at the Japanese inside the gate of Wangjiadagou Gold Mine.

After the four Japanese soldiers in the watchtowers on both sides of the gate were knocked down, they immediately climbed up the watchtowers. The heavy machine guns on the towers posed a great threat to the troops outside the gate.

However, the first company did not order the artillery to blow up the two watchtowers, but instead rotated the recruits to shoot at the Japanese in the towers.

The Japanese soldier stationed at Wangjiadagou Gold Mine was a captain. He immediately reported to Commander Ling Qilong in Fengtian that Wangjiadagou Gold Mine was attacked by a company of the devil's troops.

A company of more than 100 people from the Devil's Army attacked the Wangjiadagou Gold Mine, which had more than 600 people including his puppet troops? Commander Ling Kulong didn't quite believe it, because this was not like the Devil's Army's usual combat method.

He ordered the captain to investigate the matter and report back, and at the same time to mobilize reinforcements and prepare for reinforcements.
