Devil's Army

Leng Feng asked the captain to arrange for someone to register all the damage to the warehouses at the dock. If a merchant's warehouse was found to be damaged, the merchant's information would be registered immediately. The merchant was asked to convey to the merchants in other warehouses at the dock, asking them to go to the First Army camp to register the damage to the warehouses. The First Army would provide rent-free compensation to the merchants in the damaged warehouses.

After doing all this, Leng Feng and the guards returned to the barracks.

Back at the military camp, the couple who made cotton yarn were still waiting for Leng Feng, because Leng Feng was their life-saving straw.

"We will rebuild the dock warehouse in Huludao next. Merchants whose warehouses were blown up by the Japanese can be exempted from rent for a certain period of time."

Another big good news came to the cotton yarn couple. Their comeback is just around the corner.

"Well, how much money do you need to ship a shipload of cotton yarn and cloth?"

The businessman carefully reported a rough amount to Leng Feng, and kept watching Leng Feng's reaction out of the corner of his eye.

"You raise half of the funds yourself, and our troops will provide the remaining half. Is that difficult?"

The merchant was speechless when he heard this. In the past, this was already a great discount, but he could not take out the other half of the funds. In order to make some money this winter, he had been preparing for this batch of cotton yarn and cloth and had already borrowed money to live.

The wife looked at the man eagerly, but the man didn't say a word.

"Well, we will pay for all the cotton yarn and cloth on this ship. When the goods arrive, you can supply us with half of them, and you can use the other half to circulate."

"Aren't you afraid that I might run away with the money from this shipload of cotton yarn and cloth?"

"Merchants value profit as well as trust. If you run away for the money from this shipload of cotton yarn and cloth, then you are not a businessman but a villain. I, Leng, have misjudged you." Leng Feng said calmly.

The man held Leng Feng's hand tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. His chance to turn things around had come, and he might even make a lot of money from it.

After the Miansha couple left, Leng Feng sent a telegram back, asking someone to bring all the people in the labor reform team to Huludao to participate in the reconstruction work.

Leng Feng ordered the Second Regiment, which was responsible for the security of Huludao, to leave two companies behind to patrol and protect the military camp and Huludao, and all other soldiers and special forces members were deployed to repair and rebuild the port.

Huludao Port suddenly became bustling again.

Some merchants who received the news rushed to the military camp to report the damage to their warehouses at the dock.

The soldiers guarding the barracks asked them to go to the dock because the working group had been transferred to the dock.

The staff of the dock working group immediately registered and went to the scene to verify the size of the merchant’s warehouse, the extent of the damage, and the damage to the goods inside.

The next morning, more than 100 members of the labor reform team were escorted by soldiers from the First Army to the Huludao Port Terminal, where they began the construction and reconstruction of the terminal together with soldiers from the Second Regiment.

A regiment leader looked at the labor camp members working and sighed to Leng Feng: "We still have too few prisoners. More prisoners means more free labor."

"Originally there were more than 600 puppet soldiers and police officers in the labor camp. After the reform, some of them gradually turned against the government. Now there are only about 100 of them left. You all thought the subsequent battles were too troublesome, so you won't capture any more prisoners."

"Commander, how about we go to Jinzhou and fight a battle and bring back some prisoners?"

"The deputy commander's special operations team will also be responsible for capturing prisoners. You will do your best to ensure the safety of Huludao and the reconstruction of the port."

While the soldiers of the Second Regiment and members of the labor reform team were still cleaning the dock, Leng Feng dispatched the Third and Fifth Anti-aircraft Artillery Companies to come over.

At present, there is still a shortage of anti-aircraft guns. Leng Feng transferred the anti-aircraft gun companies defending the tribe and Diaobingshan County to Huludao. Gray Wolf once raised objections and believed that the anti-aircraft gun company of the tribe must be retained.

Leng Feng thought that the tribe was now in the heart of the base, and it was unlikely to be attacked by the Japanese. If the Japanese came to attack, they could all hide in the tunnel.

When Gray Wolf heard about the tunnel, he stopped insisting. They had been hiding in the tunnel when Muto Nobuyoshi attacked the tribe. Now that the tunnel had been renovated and improved for so long, it was more convenient for hiding people.

Huludao cannot be rebuilt on a large scale now, because the golden eagles alone can only deter the Japanese navy for a while. If the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet launches a large-scale attack, the army without air force and navy will not be able to save Huludao at all.

By then, Huludao, which had been rebuilt and developed with great effort, would either be destroyed in the war or completely ceded to the enemy.

Leng Feng deployed the third anti-aircraft artillery company near the dock, and cooperated with the golden eagle to guard the sky and sea around the dock.

The 5th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company was deployed near the command center and Huludao Administrative Office to ensure the security of Huludao’s military and political institutions.

Leng Feng also planned to second the old county chief to reorganize Huludao's administrative organs. All the former government department staff who were incompetent would be dismissed and new ones would be selected.

When the government workers heard the news, they became panic-stricken and lost their focus on work.

Leng Feng had to come out and clarify: Under the rule of the devils, most government officials still worked diligently for the development of Huludao. Only a small number of hardcore traitors and pro-Japanese elements did things that harmed the interests of the people of Huludao. We all know this. And they all fled when we recaptured Huludao.

From now on, as long as you work wholeheartedly for the development of Huludao, nothing will happen. Of course, if you are not capable enough and just muddle through during the Japanese rule, we will still ask you to leave!
