Devil's Army

The Jackal and his men left the USS Erie. Wei Ke ran away from the team and burst into tears under a tree.

She felt wronged and very depressed.

She was a college student from Peking. More than 30 of them joined the Anti-Japanese Army with hatred for the Japanese and love for the country. Who would have thought that she, who had never held a man's hand, was touched all over by the Japanese she hated the most.

Jackal and Li Hongmei walked silently to Wei Ke's side.

Li Hongmei patted Wei Ke's back and secretly cried with him. As a young girl, how could she not understand Wei Ke's heart?

Jackal waited until Wei Ke stopped crying, saluted her and said, "Thank you for saving all of us. I know you've been wronged. If you think beating me or scolding me will help you vent your anger, go ahead."

"The captain is fine. I just felt a tightness in my chest just now. Now I'm okay after crying." Wei Ke said as he wiped the tears that had not yet dried on his face.

"Xiao Ke, if you hadn't tried to get Colonel Shigeru Sakatani drunk just now, it would not be just a simple injustice. It is very likely that all five of you would have been abused by the Japanese." Jackal was still scared when he thought about what happened just now.

"If the Japanese want to harm me, I will take someone with me to die with me." Wei Ke nodded firmly and said.

"It's okay, shall we continue to complete the task of finding an ambush point to attack the reinforcements?" asked the Jackal.

"Let's go, Captain. I'm fine now."

Jackal led everyone to continue walking towards Jinzhou.

After the dangerous encounter just now, the Jackal saw that the Japanese army no longer walked past them in a swagger, but deliberately kept a distance from them.

Jackal and his companions walked towards Jinzhou and stopped at a certain point in the road.

The road here is relatively narrow, only allowing one and a half cars to pass through. There are lush trees on both sides of the road, which is suitable for hiding ambushes.

"Remember this section of the road. This is a suitable ambush point." Hu Langfen instructed Li Hongmei.

It was already dark by then, and the Jackals and their companions spent the night in the woods on the right side of the path.

In the middle of the night, Wei Ke was still awake. She wanted to fight the Japanese, but she didn't expect to end up falling into their arms.

She was the pride of her classmates. She was the only one among the 32 students who was selected to join the special forces team. If her classmates knew about this, they would be so embarrassed.

Li Hongmei woke up in the middle of the night and saw Wei Ke sitting there in a daze. She gently leaned forward and hugged her and asked:

"Why, are you still thinking about those things?"

"I'm afraid it would be embarrassing if this matter got out." Wei Ke nodded.

"Where there is fighting, there are sacrifices. We formed a team to fight the Japanese. At our peak, we had 300 to 400 people. But the Japanese kept besieging us. When we met Captain Zhang, there were only about 100 of us left. It was really hard to see my comrades falling one after another."

"Sister Mei, tell me how you met the captain?"

Wei Ke and Li Hongmei talked like this until Dongfang Tubai fell asleep.

The Jackal saw all of this, and the next morning, he woke up the team members a little later on purpose.

After breakfast, the Jackals continued their journey.

The terrain along the way was plain and unsuitable for ambushes.

Jackal and his companions walked until about one o'clock in the afternoon before they arrived at Songlingmen Town, the western gateway of Jinzhou.

Jackal and his friends were eating lunch at a street stall while observing their surroundings.

This place is only about 50 kilometers away from Jinzhou, and the Japanese defense is quite strict. From time to time, I saw Japanese patrols passing by vigilantly.

The slightly revealing clothes of Li Hongmei and the other five people often attracted the attention of the Japanese patrol soldiers. However, the uniform of Lieutenant Commander Jackal helped him, and the Japanese patrol soldiers just looked at him and did not dare to act rashly.

After lunch, without resting, Jackal led them through Songlingmen Town and came to the east gate of the town.

There was a small team of Japanese troops and a platoon of puppet troops defending here.

"Captain, the Japanese defense here is quite tight." Li Hongmei said to Jackal.

"After passing through here, we will reach Jinzhou, the important city of the Japanese. How can the Japanese not be strict?"

"Captain, the city wall here is quite high. It can be used as the first barrier to block the reinforcements from Jinzhou." A special forces member suggested to Jackal.

The Jackal nodded and instructed, "Keep an eye on your surroundings."

The Japanese guarded the city wall very tightly, and the team members had no way of getting close to conduct reconnaissance. They could only scout roughly nearby.

"Captain, are we still going to Jinzhou?" asked a special forces member after scouting the west gate for a while.

"Let's go on."

We arrived at the west gate of Jinzhou, where the Gray Wolves had caused trouble with their special forces some time ago, and the defense was even tighter.

In order to prevent any accidents, Jackal decided not to enter Jinzhou City and the team members began to withdraw to Huludao.

Back to the woods where we camped last night, Jackal arranged for everyone to rest inside. Two male special forces members were on guard.

Jackal sorted out the information he had gathered along the way and asked Wei Ke to send it back to headquarters.

After sending the telegram, everyone continued to head towards Huludao. However, the enemy met on a narrow road, and Jackal and his men ran into the Japanese squadron that was returning to Jinzhou.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. But the lieutenant colonel could only stop at being jealous.

The navy of Hulu Port has been traveling back and forth on this road. If he makes things difficult for Jackal and his men again and Colonel Sakatani finds out, he will be in big trouble.
