Devil's Army

After Leng Feng finished speaking, Huilang also came to the stage and gave a speech to boost morale and inspire the officers and soldiers of the First Army.

After Gray Wolf finished his speech, the stage was handed over to Miao Nana's anti-Japanese drama troupe.

The officers and soldiers of the First Army, who had a rare chance to relax, were watching the performance of Miao Nana Anti-Japanese Drama Troupe attentively.

Commander Yang also asked Leng Feng with emotion: "Your Anti-Japanese Army is really full of talents, and you even have your own theater troupe."

"There was no other way. The army was too weak when it was first established. We had to avoid the Japanese encirclement and suppression, and at the same time, we had to develop the army. He Shuzhen and several college students from Fengtian founded this anti-Japanese drama troupe and recruited new soldiers for the army through performances."

"Oh, the leader of this anti-Japanese drama troupe is a college student?"

"Well, no, the current leader of this anti-Japanese drama troupe is the daughter of the tribal leader Miao Xieling. Xiao He went to be in charge of the pharmaceutical factory due to the development needs of the army."

"It's not easy for you either!" Commander Yang sighed sincerely.

The next day was New Year's Day, and the officers and soldiers of the tribe were still on semi-vacation.

Before the Spring Festival, Leng Feng issued an order that the commanders and political commissars above the regimental level should leave one person on duty in the army, and the others should go back to the tribe to celebrate the Spring Festival. The commanders and soldiers below the battalion level should stay in the army together.

Although the remaining troops could not return to the tribe to celebrate the Spring Festival, the troops had added more dishes and the food was obviously better than before.

There is no other way, someone has to make sacrifices during war, and soldiers are the first to make sacrifices.

Leng Feng, Wen Lang and Hui Lang went to the barracks of the 1st Brigade to wish Commander Yang and his men a happy new year.

On Commander Yang's desk were some fruits and snacks that Leng Feng had asked the logistics department to send over.

Gray Wolf brought some tea leaves from the war room, put some in everyone's cups, brewed tea, and drank while chatting.

Commander Yang made a timely request, asking the First Army to help train their medical soldiers.

Leng Feng agreed immediately, but also pointed out: Dean Yuan, who has the best medical skills, is currently in Chaoyang County Temporary Hospital. Tieling County Hospital is currently in charge of Doctor He. However, Doctor He is more than enough to train a few medical staff.

"Isn't Dr. He's teacher, Mr. Tan, currently in the tribal infirmary? It shouldn't be a problem to have him lead a few medical soldiers."

Leng Feng discussed with Commander Yang and others and planned to go to Teacher Tan to wish him a happy new year tomorrow. However, early in the morning on the second day of the new year, a call from the Fifth Brigade Commander disrupted Leng Feng's plan.

On the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Leng Feng and Huilang went to the First Brigade military camp to find Commander Yang and others to go and wish Teacher Tan a happy new year.

A signalman hurried over and handed Leng Feng an urgent telegram from the fifth deputy brigade commander.

After reading the telegram, Leng Feng immediately asked, "Where are the Fifth Brigade Commander and Political Commissar Yang?"

"Reporting to the army commander, the Fifth Brigade Commander and Political Commissar Yang have already rushed to the Fifth Brigade Headquarters. They asked me to send the telegram to you."

Gray Wolf took the telegram, read it and slammed it on the table, cursing, "Damn it, the Japs really know how to pick a time. Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year when I go back to my parents' home. Do the Japs want to take back Jianchang County?"

"If they want to go back, beat them back to their hometown. Order the 150mm howitzers in the hands of Brigade Commander Wang of the Fourth Brigade to be immediately transferred to the front line of Jianchang County to support the Fifth Brigade Commander and blast these bastards back to their hometown."

"Commander Leng, how can we help?" Commander Yang asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

"No need. You have been fighting continuously before the New Year. You should take a break first." Leng Feng replied.

"Blood Wolf, I'll ask the logistics department to deliver more 40mm rockets and 75mm and 35mm anti-aircraft shells to the Fifth Brigade."

Before Leng Feng could answer, Chief of Staff Li, who had seen the telegram Gray Wolf had put on the table, interrupted:

"The devils in Lingyuan belong to the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army, right?"

"Yes, those who fought against us before were all the Japanese Kwantung Army. Whether it was the Japanese Kwantung Army from Jinzhou, Fengtian or Changtu, they all fought with us many times. It can be said that they were scared by us. They wanted to wipe us out the most, but they were unable to do so." Leng Feng responded with a little pride.

"The Japanese Kwantung Army doesn't dare to send out its air force and tanks easily because we have Golden Eagles and 40mm fire. This will greatly reduce their firepower. But now it's the Japanese North China Front Army, they have never fought with us, so planes and tanks will definitely be deployed." Gray Wolf analyzed.

"Go to the logistics department to make some arrangements first." Leng Feng instructed Gray Wolf.

"Since the Japanese Air Force is so afraid of your golden eagles, why don't you send the golden eagles over there?" Chief of Staff Li asked puzzledly after Gray Wolf left.

"Our Golden Eagle's air-to-air missiles are almost used up." Leng Feng said with a wry smile.

"Don't you have an arsenal?"

"The Arsenal can't produce or copy all weapons." Leng Feng replied with a smile. He knew that some things could not be explained.

Before Leng Feng left, the signalman came running over to report: "Commander, Brigade Commander Wang of the 150th Brigade replied that the Japanese in Jinzhou have made unusual movements and suggested not to mobilize the mm howitzers of the th Brigade."

"Does the Kwantung Army in Jinzhou want to take advantage of the situation? I agree with the Fourth Brigade Commander's suggestion and ask the Third Brigade Commander Li to transfer their heavy howitzer artillery to support the Fifth Brigade."

Commander Yang and Chief of Staff Li looked at each other in bewilderment. Their First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces did not even have a small mountain gun, while the 150mm howitzers of the First Anti-Japanese Army could be freely transferred among various brigades.
