Devil's Army

Li Hongmei brought Jackal and the others to the original secret camp and found that it was deserted, but there were still traces of fighting on the ground.

Judging from the traces left on the ground, although the battle here was not very fierce, there were quite a few people who came.

The Jackal was a little worried about the guerrillas and the wounded special forces soldier.

Li Hongmei looked at a crooked tree nearby and said to the Jackal, "They have retreated to the Second Secret Camp. Let's go over there too."

The captain who had searched for the bodies of the missing Japanese soldiers saw that many of the dead soldiers were shot dead. Moreover, the soldiers were stripped down to their loincloths. He keenly felt that this was definitely not the work of the guerrillas who had been fighting with them. It was more like the method of the devil's army.

The information was passed on to Major Zuochuan's ears layer by layer. Major Zuochuan immediately ordered the captain to lead this squadron of Japanese troops to search the surroundings carefully, and at the same time sent a large group of Japanese troops to reinforce.

After a careful search, the captain finally found the area near Li Hongmei and her group's secret camp.

Fortunately, the guerrillas were vigilant enough and spotted the Japanese from a distance and immediately fired warning shots.

The guerrillas immediately packed up their supplies and retreated.

During the retreat, the guerrillas engaged in a low-intensity gun battle with a small number of Japanese devils, and then, relying on the familiar terrain, disappeared into the vast woods.

By the time the Japanese troops searched the guerrillas' secret camp, it was already deserted.

The Tongjiangkou cross-river railway bridge was blown up, and the transportation of materials to Xinjing was forced to be interrupted.

What made Major Zuochuan even more worried was that it took less than an hour for the Japanese reinforcements on the left side of Tongjiangkou Railway Bridge to arrive at the Tongjiangkou Railway Bridge from the time they received the request for help from the bridge-guarding troops.

According to the report from the Japanese reinforcements on the left, when they arrived on the bridge, a troop wearing their military uniforms had already cleaned up the battlefield and were preparing to retreat.

The two squads of Japanese soldiers finished the battle in less than half an hour. How strong was the enemy's fighting power? Moreover, all the Japanese soldiers at the scene were stripped down to their loincloths.

All signs indicate that the Devil's Army has sent people to sneak into Kaiyuan City. As for how many people sneaked in and what equipment they had, there is no way to verify it. Because the Japanese soldiers who saw this Devil's Army sneaking in would not speak.

Jackal's worries became a reality. Major Zuochuan began to dispatch a large number of Japanese troops to conduct a comprehensive search in Kaiyuan City. The dense forest near the culvert was also their key search area.

But now Jackal is not worried anymore. With the leadership of Li Hongmei's guerrillas, a living map, they don't have to wander around in Kaiyuan City.

Li Hongmei quickly led Jackal and the others to the second secret camp.

The deputy captain has already joined up with Li Hongmei's guerrillas.

The deputy captain’s surname is Wang. He is tall and thin, and everyone usually calls him Gao Lao.

"Look, Gao Lao, what good stuff did we get?"

As soon as Li Hongmei saw Deputy Captain Gao, she immediately pointed at the special forces member who was unloading supplies from Feilong's belly and shared her joy with him.

Deputy Captain Gao was already very happy to see the more than 40 guns and ammunition and more than 40 sets of cotton uniforms that Li Hongmei had obtained. Now that he saw more than 100 guns and cotton uniforms, his eyes widened even more.

Now each guerrilla has a cotton military uniform and a gun to spare.

Gao Lao ran over, touched this gun, hugged that machine gun, and laughed foolishly.

"Look at how successful you are!" Li Hongmei said to Gao Lao with a smile.

In fact, Li Hongmei was also very happy in her heart, because she also hoped that her guerrillas could have a gun and a warm cotton coat for every soldier. But it had never been realized. Now that Jackal and his men appeared, they helped her realize it.

"I don't want to achieve anything, I just want these things." Gao Lao said while holding a machine gun.

"You are just being conceited, these things belong to Captain Hu and his men." Li Hongmei heard a soldier call the captain "Jun Lang" and thought his last name was Hu.

Gao Lao looked at the jackal with a little disappointment.

"Except for these two heavy machine guns, which are inconvenient for you to carry, I'll give you everything else."

"Did you hear that, Captain? These are all ours." The tall man jumped and lay in his military uniform.

Li Hongmei smiled and shook her head without saying anything else.

After Feilong unloaded the supplies, two special forces members took Feilong to patrol the surroundings. Each team leader also arranged his own special forces member to be responsible for the security in a certain direction.

It was evening, and the guerrillas had no intention of cooking dinner.

"Captain Li, why haven't you arranged for dinner yet? It will be dark soon."

Gao Lao was standing next to her, looking at Li Hongmei embarrassedly.

"Go ahead, Mr. Gao, arrange for someone to prepare dinner." Li Hongmei ordered.

Jackal also noticed something was wrong and asked Li Hongmei: "What's going on?"

"Nothing serious has happened. We have always been short of food. Our team members usually eat a little in the morning, eat a full meal at noon, and don't eat at night."

"How can we have the energy to fight the Japanese without enough food? From today on, we will guarantee three meals a day. The food will be provided by our First Army. Feilong will be back later, and we will make dinner then. You can keep this little food for emergencies."

"No, I won't. You helped us seize so many weapons, ammunition and cotton uniforms. I should do my best to be a good host."

"This is not the time to be polite. Our army is not short of weapons, ammunition and food at the moment."
