Devil's Army

Colonel Sakatani entered the barracks and the Jackal was cleaning the wounds of the injured team members.

"Send him to the infirmary immediately." Colonel Sakatani ordered the guards around him.

The guards sent the five injured members to the infirmary at the naval base. Colonel Sakatani said to the Jackal:

"Urata-kun, are you so kind to your soldiers?"

"If you don't treat them well, will they be willing to work for you? Besides, he was injured because he blocked a bullet for me."

"Urata-kun, are all your team members here? Is anyone missing?" asked Division Commander Sakamoto with concern.

The Jackal knew what he meant and immediately ordered:

"Everyone gather at the barracks entrance immediately."

The team members quickly lined up outside the barracks and began to count.

After a while, a captain named Jackal came running over and reported, "Report to His Excellency the Major, there are 310 Marines, 5 injured, and 305 dead. Report completed."

Colonel Sakatani and Division Commander Sakamoto listened to the Jackal team members counting the numbers.

After reporting the number, Shigeru Sakatani stared at Division Commander Sakamoto with an angry look on his face.

Regimental Commander Sakamoto hummed awkwardly and said, "It's good that no one is missing. I will immediately investigate where this devilish unit came from."

After saying this, Division Commander Sakamoto quickly led his soldiers away from the naval base.

Not long after Division Commander Sakamoto left, Commander Yamamoto called.

Commander Yamamoto scolded Sakatani Shigeru harshly over the phone.

Shigeru Sakatani hesitantly put the blame on the army, saying that their defense was poor and that the soldiers of the Devil's Army repeatedly allowed to sneak into Jinzhou City.

Commander Yamamoto didn't buy it. He scolded, "Why didn't the devil troops who sneaked into Jinzhou attack the army instead of the navy? It's because your navy club and base are not well defended that they have the opportunity to take advantage of you!"

Now Sakatani Shigeru was completely speechless. Yes, the devil troops that sneaked in were not relatives of the army, so why did they only attack their navy and not the army?

Commander Yamamoto ordered Sakatani Shigeru to immediately seal the city gates and conduct a city-wide search to avenge the dead naval officers and soldiers.

Colonel Sakatani immediately ordered the Marines to search the entire city and capture the devil troops who had sneaked into the city.

There was chaos in Jinzhou City.

At this time, the news that the 113th Army Battalion, which was attacking the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces outside the east gate of Jinzhou, was surrounded and more than half of its troops were killed or wounded also reached Colonel Sakatani.

Colonel Sakatani was secretly delighted after hearing this. "We are all brothers in distress, so don't laugh at each other."

The Marines searched Jinzhou for two days without making any progress. Colonel Sakatani was unhappy and invited Jackal to his headquarters for a drink.

The Jackal was invited to the feast alone.

Colonel Sakatani saw the Jackal coming alone and asked, "Where's that flower girl?"

"Oh, Xiao Wei. She was frightened and fell ill when the devil's army attacked the naval base last time."

"Oh? Is it a problem? Do you want to ask the army doctor to take a look?"

"No, there's no need to use our navy's doctors for a Chinese beauty. My medic gave her some medicine and she's getting much better now."

There was no other way, Colonel Sakatani could only ask Sakurako to come and keep him company.

During the banquet, Colonel Sakatani complained to the Jackal that he couldn't catch the Devil's Army soldiers who sneaked in. He asked the Jackal what good plan he had?

The Jackal said, "First, we must improve the defense of our base and club. This way, even if the Devil's troops sneak into Jinzhou, they will turn to attack the army's idiots because of our tight defense."

The Jackal's view coincided with Commander Yamamoto's. Colonel Sakatani nodded approvingly. He thought to himself, "If Urata-kun was his subordinate, he would have much less trouble!"

He raised his glass and clinked it with the Jackal, then drank it all and begged:

"Urata-kun, your Marines suffered the least losses during the Devil's attack on our base this time. Can you send troops to participate in the security patrol of our base?"

"It's rare that Colonel Sakatani has shown such kindness that he has arranged food and accommodation for us. We should take full responsibility for this small matter."

Before Colonel Sakatani could express his gratitude, the guards came over to report that a patrolling Marine squad had been attacked by unknown armed forces.

Colonel Sakatani put down his wine glass and hurried to the scene with the Jackal.

When Colonel Sakatani arrived at the scene, the battle was already over.

Sixteen bodies of Marines, wearing only loincloths, lay at the scene. There were no guns or ammunition left.

Colonel Sakatani also found a number of 5.8mm caliber rifle shells used exclusively by the Devil's troops at the scene.

Judging from the modus operandi at the scene and the 5.8mm caliber bullet casings left behind, it can be confirmed that this was another act of the devil's troops.

Colonel Sakatani returned to the headquarters with Jackal with a dark face, and his subordinates hurried to deal with the scene. Because many civilians at the scene saw this scene, it had a huge negative impact on their navy.

The Jackal followed Colonel Sakatani back to the headquarters, but before he could arrange for the Marines to take charge of the security patrol of the naval base, a huge danger had already struck him.

The signalman reported to Colonel Sakatani: The cruiser Yoshichang will visit Jinzhou Port and dock at 8 o'clock tonight.

Once the Jichang cruiser docks, Jackal and his fake Li Kui will be exposed.

The Gray Wolf special forces will face the greatest danger since entering Jinzhou City.
