Devil's Army

After receiving a call back from Leng Feng, Jackal immediately led his team members to retreat to the vicinity of the culvert.

Jackal asked the main force to rest in the forest near the culvert. He personally led a small team of special forces to change into the Japanese military uniforms and go to the nearby forest to look for traces of Li Hongmei's guerrillas.

Jackal led the special forces squad to wander around the nearby mountains and forests for a whole day, but did not find any trace of Li Hongmei's guerrillas.

At night, Jackal and his men dragged their exhausted bodies back to the main force's camp in the mountains.

"Captain, it will not work if we keep searching blindly like this. The guerrillas are very familiar with this area and they hide in the dark. They don't contact us and it will be difficult for us to find them." The dwarf wolf said to the jackal.

The Jackal nodded. He thought that to be able to survive under the eyes of the Japanese, he must be very capable and it would be impossible for him to be found so easily.

But what else could he do except keep looking? If he couldn't find it, he could only ask the commander of the Seventh Brigade to call the political commissar to help.

The next morning, Jackal set out again with his team.

They wandered around in the mountains and forests for a long time but still found nothing.

The Jackal decided to act alone. Even if he asked the political commissar of the 7th Brigade to come, he might not be able to find him, and it would also add to the danger for the political commissar.

After returning to the base, a patrol team reported to him a situation: they were attacked by a group of unidentified armed forces while patrolling outside.

"Did you shoot them?"

"We were wearing Japanese military uniforms. They must be our people if they attacked us. We pointed our guns several inches upwards and fired to scare them off."

"Why don't you catch them or keep up with them?"

"We were all wearing Japanese military uniforms, and they were very wary of us. They were also very familiar with the mountains and forests. I tried to follow them, but they quickly left me behind."

"Are there any casualties among our team members?"

"One member of the team is injured."

"Didn't the gunshots alarm the devils?"

"Yes, a patrolling Japanese squad near the culvert was alarmed and came to reinforce us. I pointed them in the opposite direction, and they quickly chased in the direction I pointed."

Soon, Jackal came up with an idea. He ordered all the team members to change into Japanese military uniforms and continue patrolling in the mountains and forests.

Another team of special forces followed them from a distance, and when they discovered something unusual, they immediately surrounded them.

The Jackal deliberately took the members of this small team to wander around the place where the patrol team was attacked.

Suddenly, the jackal sensed some unusual movement in front of it and quickly shouted, "Get down."

After a while, a round of gunfire was heard, and the bullets were fired towards the place where Jackal and the others had just stood.

The Jackal pretended to be timid and lay on the ground with his special forces team members without moving, buying time for the special forces members of the team behind him.

The guerrillas were concentrating on shooting at the Jackal and his men, not realizing that the Jackal's special forces team had surrounded them from behind.

"Don't move!" The special forces team surrounded them.

The Jackal also led a small team to surround them from the front.

There were only about forty or fifty guerrillas in this group. A female guerrilla was unwilling to be captured, so she quietly raised her gun.

The Jackal reached out and shot the pistol out of her hand.

"Are you Li Hongmei's guerrillas?" Jackal asked the girl.

"Oh, you speak Chinese fluently. I am Li Hongmei. Today I am in your hands. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."

The Jackal laughed out loud upon hearing this, and the other special forces members also laughed along.

Li Hongmei was puzzled by the laughter of the jackal and his men.

At this time, Jackal discovered that the clothes of Li Hongmei's group were thin, and their weapons were also mixed and poor. The best guns were the Mauser pistols that Liao Shisan and the girl had knocked away, and there were more than a dozen people holding swords and spears.

Suddenly, a special forces member hurriedly ran up to the Jackal and whispered, "Captain, that small group of devils is coming again."

The Jackal nodded and said to Li Hongmei, "A good sword is forged through constant grinding."

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Are you one of us? Li Hongmei whispered happily.

"We are not your people. We are from the First Anti-Japanese Army. But we are very familiar with your people. It was Secretary Li who introduced me to you."

"You retreat first, I will give you a generous gift." After Jackal said this to Li Hongmei, he gestured to the special forces members with his right hand, and the special forces members immediately flashed into the surrounding mountains and forests.

"We will not retreat, we want to help you." Li Hongmei said to the jackal.

"No, your weapons are too poor. These forty or fifty devils don't need your help."

"We have dealt with the Japs here many times, and they are very familiar with us. We will attract them from the front, and you will outflank them from both sides. What do you think?"

"It's a good plan, but you're in greater danger."

"It's always dangerous to fight the devils."

"Okay, let's arrange it this way."

After a while, this small group of Japanese soldiers searched over, and more than ten Japanese soldiers fell in front of Li Hongmei's guerrillas.

The Japanese second lieutenant who led the team saw that more than ten of their soldiers were killed by Li Hongmei's guerrillas, and he screamed and ordered this small group of Japanese soldiers to shoot at Li Hongmei's guerrillas.

Li Hongmei's guerrillas immediately counterattacked this group of Japanese devils.

The lieutenant saw that although the guerrillas had the same number of people as him, their weapons were much worse than theirs. He thought it was time to make a contribution, but reality slapped him hard in the face.
