Devil's Army

The commander of the first battalion immediately ordered the third company to enter Daqing Mountain and exchange guards with the two special forces teams there; the second company hurried to the old imperial city to exchange guards with Li Hongmei and others, and began to build and consolidate fortifications.

The platoon directly under the battalion was stationed in Jianchang County.

The first company searched and advanced in the direction of Jianchang County to Lingyuan County in Rehe Province, looking for places to build fortifications that would be convenient for blocking the Japanese.

We traveled through mountains and rivers all the way to Lingyuan County in Rehe Province, and finally arrived at Jinhua Mountain in Wulanbai Town.

Jinhua Mountain is steep and has wide ravines. There is also a large cave. It is easy for a company to live in it.

Not far from the cave there is a well called the Divine Spring, which can solve the troops' water problem.

However, since Jinhua Mountain is more than 130 miles away from Jianchang County, it would take the troops more than ten hours to arrive if they marched. It would only take more than an hour to arrive by car. However, the road was bumpy and difficult to travel. In addition, the First Army did not have many trucks left in Huludao and Chaoyang County.

After comprehensive consideration, the commander of the first battalion applied to the commander of the first regiment to transfer the second battalion to garrison between Jinhua Mountain and Jianchang County. In case of fighting, it can reinforce the first company of the garrison at Jinhua Mountain and the second company of the garrison at the old imperial city.

The commander of the first regiment asked the commander of the fifth brigade for instructions, and the commander agreed without much thought, and allocated four of the five existing trucks of the fifth brigade to the second battalion.

Because the Fifth Brigade Commander considered that the Japs in Qinhuangdao and Rehe rarely fought with them, so they were quite arrogant. Now that the Japs in Qinhuangdao had lost a squadron and an artillery squad, it was very likely that they would come to retaliate.

Major Ochiai Masaru of Qinhuangdao provoked the Shanhaiguan battle on the afternoon of January 3 this year. He successfully drove the th Brigade of the Northeast Army out of Shanhaiguan on the rd, and completely occupied and controlled Shanhaiguan.

Then he led his troops to the southwest and occupied Qinhuangdao, responding to the Japanese North China Front Army in Rehe Province and Jianchang County.

When Leng Feng heard from Huilang that Jianchang County had been recaptured, he immediately instructed Huilang: The first company stationed in Lingyuan County, Rehe Province, has already touched the cheese of the Japanese North China Front Army, and we must be careful to prevent retaliation from the Japanese Major General of the North China Front Army.

Since Leng Feng and his men were established, they had always been fighting against the Japanese Kwantung Army, and rarely fought against the Japanese North China Front Army.

Leng Feng reminded Huilang that the North China Front Army of the Japanese would not be afraid of their anti-aircraft weapon Golden Eagle, so they should pay attention to air defense. In addition, the two battalions were not strong enough, so the Fifth Brigade could be transferred to garrison near Jianchang County.

Gray Wolf then transferred the fifth company of the two anti-aircraft artillery companies stationed in Huludao to the second battalion's base, and also transferred the newly established seventh and eighth anti-aircraft artillery companies.

The 7th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company replaced the 5th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company's defense area, and the 8th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company was stationed five miles ahead of the 5th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company.

After receiving the transfer order, the 5th Brigade immediately set out and rushed to Xiaosanqing Village near Jianchang County to garrison.

The First Army was preparing for war on all fronts, and Major General Hattori of the Japanese North China Front Army was very annoyed when he heard that the devil troops had extended their tentacles into his defense zone, occupied Jianchang County, and stationed troops in Jinhua Mountain.

Although he had not fought against the Devil's Army many times, Commander Ling Qilong of the Kwantung Army had been defeated by the Devil's Army many times, which had become a big joke in their Army Department.

Major General Hattori had a good personal relationship with Ling Li Long, so he immediately sent a telegram to Ling Li Long, asking him to provide relevant information about the Devil's Army.

He didn't want to become the second biggest joke of the Army Department, so he had to know himself and the enemy, and drive the devil's troops out of his defense zone with one blow.

Major General Hattori learned about the Devil Unit. Major Masaru Ochiai had already learned from Commander Ling Kari Takashi that the Devil Unit was the most difficult unit to defeat among the current Chinese troops, and for a while he did not dare to act rashly.

There was a brief period of calm around Huludao.

Gray Wolf then turned his attention to the navy. When Gray Wolf arrived at the navy barracks, the training here was already in full swing.

Battalion Commander Hu reported to him: the one hundred new recruits from the 4th and 3rd Brigades have been transferred here and are currently undergoing training.

"How is the teaching of the Japanese instructors now? There are no more incidents of bullying of Japanese instructors, right?" Gray Wolf asked Captain Hu.

"I feel that apart from Lieutenant Kamikawa who teaches more attentively, the other Japanese instructors seem to have some tricks up their sleeves. There have been no incidents of bullying of Japanese instructors during this period."

"This is normal. Those who are not from our tribe must have different hearts. Ask Blood Wolf to transfer members of the Japanese Anti-War Alliance here. Let them do ideological work among their own people."

"Grey Wolf, the shipyard is seriously short of skilled workers. Can we transfer a group of Japanese customs prisoners from the Diaobeishan Coal Mine to fill the gap?"

"Many of those Japanese naval prisoners are engaged in the repair and maintenance of warships. I'll write you a note and you can pick a group of them when you have time. Now accompany me to the warship to take a look."

The army of the First Anti-Japanese Army is now well-known, the air force is blank, and the navy is just starting. So Gray Wolf, like Leng Feng, has always been concerned about the development of the First Army's navy.

Currently, the First Army Navy, together with recruits and logistics, has a total of more than 2,400 people, of which only a quarter, or more than 600 people, have been on the battlefield.

Fox Wolf divided more than 2,400 navy officers into eight companies, of which more than 600 veteran navy officers were evenly distributed into seven companies, and another company was responsible for logistics.

The soldiers of the newly formed First Navy Army were eager to fight a battle with the Japanese navy.

But Gray Wolf and Fox Wolf didn't think about it. Because they knew that the First Army's navy was still very weak, and they would not engage in a naval battle with the Japanese navy unless they had no choice!
