Devil's Army

Colonel Sakatani said to the Jackal with a hint of disappointment, "Urata-kun, I just asked you to help strengthen the security patrols at the naval base. Your warship will be here to pick you up soon."

"It's okay. We will meet again soon. Maybe I will be transferred to work under you. Our warships are coming back soon. I will go back and make some arrangements first."

"Okay, please, Urata-kun."

The Jackal returned to the barracks and immediately reported the incident to the Gray Wolf.

Gray Wolf immediately summoned Fox Wolf and the team leaders to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, everyone suggested seizing the Yoshino cruiser by force and then driving it back to Huludao.

However, Gray Wolf was reluctant to give up the trust that he had gained from Colonel Sakatani, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something else.

Finally, the Gray Wolf decided to take a risk and fish in troubled waters tonight.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Colonel Sakatani came to inspect the dock and escorted Jackal and his men to the dock. Five wounded soldiers were also carried to the vicinity of the dock.

Colonel Sakatani exchanged greetings with the Jackal for a while at the dock before leaving the dock with the guards.

After nearly an hour, the whistle of the Jichang cruiser sounded from the sea.

The Jichang slowly approached the shore, and Jackal and his men cheered in pretended joy.

The Jichang docked, and the captain and other officers and soldiers quickly disembarked. After drifting on the sea for so long, it was finally possible to dock again.

What made the captain of the Jichang feel strange was why so many Marines welcomed them tonight? And the expressions of these Marines seemed very happy and excited.

"They don't have any military achievements, so why are they treated like this?" The captain of the Jichang got off the warship with confusion.

Although the other officers and soldiers on the Jichang also had doubts, they did not think about other things.

Except for those who stayed behind, all the officers and soldiers on the Jichang cruiser got off the ship one after another.

Some officers and soldiers have already walked up to the Jackal and his companions and greeted them.

Although the faces of the Jackals were unfamiliar, their enthusiasm was genuine.

Following Gray Wolf's order, Jackal and several special forces members nearby shouted at the same time: "They are disguised as the Devil's Army! They are disguised as the Devil's Army!"

The officers and soldiers of the Jichang cruiser didn't know who the Jackals were talking about, but dense bullets and daggers with cold light had already begun to greet them.

The guards at the dock had just seen Colonel Sakatani chatting with the Jackal, so they chose to believe the Jackal without questioning him, and they also fired at the officers and soldiers of the Yoshichang who had just disembarked from the warship.

The officers and soldiers of the Jichang were attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Some officers and soldiers turned around and fled to the Jichang cruiser. However, they were shot by the special forces ambushed nearby and fell into the sea.

Fox Wolf, along with two naval soldiers and five naval artillerymen, rushed onto the Jichang cruiser with the cooperation of more than fifty special forces members.

"Put your hands up. Your captain is suspected of treason and has been executed by us. Put your hands up and surrender immediately." The Fox Wolf and the special forces who rushed into the Jichang shouted to the naval soldiers who stayed behind on the Jichang.

The 42 naval officers and soldiers who stayed behind on the Jichang cruiser raised their hands and were captured inexplicably.

The special forces then tied up all 42 naval prisoners and locked them in a cabin.

Fox and his naval team drove the Jichang cruiser at full speed towards Huludao.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Jichang, who had just landed from the dock, were all annihilated by the attack from the Gray Wolf's special forces and the Japanese garrison troops at the dock.

Hui ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield quickly and all the officers and soldiers of the Jichang who were still alive were reloaded with gunshot.

When Colonel Sakatani arrived at the dock, the scene had already been cleaned up.

Colonel Sakatani asked the Jackal, "What's going on?"

"They are the devil troops disguised as officers and soldiers of the Jichang."

"How do you know they are disguised as the devil's troops?"

"The boots on their feet are not our boots, but the boots of the Devil's Army." Jackal pointed at two soldiers whose faces were blown beyond recognition by grenades and had not yet been thrown into the sea and said to Colonel Sakatani.

Colonel Sakatani looked at the bodies of the two soldiers and saw that the boots on their feet were indeed not the military boots issued by their army.

He ordered two soldiers to search the bodies of the two navy soldiers.

After a while, a soldier made a discovery. He found a handful of bullets in the trouser pocket of a dead navy soldier. These bullets were the 5.8mm rifle bullets commonly used by the devil's army.

"See if there are any shell casings of this type of bullet at the scene," Colonel Sakatani ordered.

But unfortunately, the scene had already been cleaned up by Jackal and his men, and Colonel Sakatani's guards searched but could not find the shell.

Colonel Sakatani ordered the battleship Ise to set sail immediately to pursue the escaping cruiser Yoshimasa. The twelve 356mm main guns on his battleship Erie could easily sink the cruiser Yoshino.

The Jackal stopped Colonel Sakatani and asked, "In such a dark night, can you spot the small aircraft of the Devil's Army ambushing in the air?"

When Colonel Sakatani heard this, he hesitated. His battleship Ise had to go into the dock for repairs twice thanks to the small aircraft of the Devil Forces.

He has not yet figured out a way to crack the kind of shells launched by the Devil Army's small aircraft that would automatically track his warships and eventually blow them up.

Instead of continuing to order the battleship Ise to pursue the cruiser Yoshichang, he ordered the troops to retreat and return to the naval base with Jackal and his men.
