Devil's Army

At seven o'clock the next morning, Captain Hu brought 25 naval soldiers, and Li Hongmei and five others came to the barracks of the Second Regiment to wait for orders.

Gray Wolf and Jackal discussed in the command room how to successfully infiltrate Jinzhou City.

In the end, the Gray Wolf decided to let the 1st Regiment of the 5th Brigade stationed near the west gate of Jinzhou cooperate with them to stage a drama and send them into Jinzhou.

The plan to enter the city has been finalized, but the Japanese navy uniforms have not been delivered yet, so Gray Wolf and his men can only continue to wait.

This time, Gray Wolf brought from the tribe the three teams of special forces that had caused trouble at the Jinzhou Military Police Headquarters last time, and also selected three teams of special forces from the Huludao Special Forces to participate in the operation.

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the truck carrying the Japanese Marine Corps uniforms from the Tiaobinshan County Military Uniform Factory arrived at the gate of the regiment's barracks.

The special forces members of the three Huludao teams immediately changed into the Japanese Marine Corps uniforms, got on the truck with the three teams that had already changed into the Japanese Marine Corps uniforms, and drove towards the east gate of Jinzhou with Feilong.

Gray Wolf brought more than 300 special forces soldiers to the base of the 1st Regiment of the 5th Brigade.

The commander of the first regiment had already received Gray Wolf's order and immediately sent the first and second battalions to cooperate in the operation.

The Japs on the west gate wall of Jinzhou soon discovered that about 1,500 soldiers of the Devil's Army were chasing more than 300 of their Marines.

The sound of gunfire soon spread from far away to near, and mortar shells kept exploding behind their Marines.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers came out of the city and stopped the fleeing Marines.

"Stop, who are you?" The Japanese squadron leader stopped Gray Wolf and his men.

"We are the navy on the Jichang cruiser in Dandong Port. We attacked their military camp in Huludao and were chased by the devil's troops." Gray Wolf learned from the Japanese agents that the Jichang cruiser where he used to serve had been repaired and was still in Dandong Port.

"I'm sorry, I have to ask our superiors before deciding whether to let you enter the city." The squadron leader said stubbornly.

"Okay, we won't enter the city. You help us eliminate the devil troops chasing us, and we will take the warship back to Dandong Port." After saying that, Gray Wolf ordered his team members to disperse quickly to both sides, exposing the front of this squadron of devils to the devil troops chasing them.

The squadron leader was dumbfounded. He was not arrogant enough to destroy two battalions of the devil's troops with the strength of his squadron.

The gunfire of the two battalions of the devil troops was getting closer and closer to Jinzhou City. If they didn't retreat, they would definitely have to fight a battle with the devil troops outside the city.

The squadron leader has not yet received the order to stop the devil's troops outside the city.

He immediately ordered the troops to retreat into Jinzhou City and prepare to close the city gates to stop the evil troops. He also asked the signalman to report to his superiors.

The Gray Wolves won't be happy about this. Your army ran away, leaving their navy outside the city gate as cannon fodder?

The Gray Wolf Marines also followed this squadron of Japanese devils back to Jinzhou City.

The squadron leader tried to stop the Marines from entering the city, but the situation was out of control.

His squadron was retreating, with Marines mixed in with his men as they retreated toward the city.

The Gray Wolf's special forces team successfully sneaked into Jinzhou's west gate, and the Japanese squadron leader was still shouting loudly behind him:

"Don't leave. Wait here for a moment. Our commander will be here soon."

But no matter how the squadron leader shouted, Gray Wolf and his men ignored him and continued to retreat towards the naval base.

The squadron leader was very anxious, but he did not dare to order the soldiers to shoot.

"Captain, this group of marines is too arrogant. Should I lead some men to stop them?"

At this time, the first and second battalions of the first regiment had arrived at the wall of the west gate of Jinzhou, and mortars began to bombard the wall of the east gate.

"Forget it, report to our commander and ask him to negotiate with the navy. We will stop the attack of the devil troops first."

Division Commander Sakamoto quickly sent two squadrons to support the devils at the west gate. As for the group of marines who fled into Jinzhou City, they would contact the Navy Department after repelling the devil troops outside the city.

The devilish troops attacking the west gate of Jinzhou retreated under the heavy artillery bombardment of the reinforcements led by Division Commander Sakamoto.

What puzzled the squadron leader was that the devil troops outside the city only launched a charge when chasing them, and then just bombarded their city walls without launching any new attacks.

The squadron leader reported his doubts to his superior, who then reported the matter to the staff of Division Commander Sakamoto.

Most of the staff in the general staff believed that the two battalions of devilish troops were lightly equipped to pursue the fleeing Marines and did not carry heavy artillery.

It would be very difficult to attack Jinzhou City without the support of heavy artillery. So they thought that the devil troops outside the city would wait until the heavy artillery arrived before attacking Jinzhou City.

Division Commander Sakamoto thought the staff's analysis made sense. He had fought against the Devil's troops several times and was defeated by their 150mm howitzers.

He immediately ordered the soldiers of the three squadrons at the west gate of Jinzhou to strengthen their vigilance and pay attention to artillery defense. He also quietly divided the 100mm howitzers in Jinzhou City into two artillery positions and deployed them inside the west gate of the city.
