Devil's Army

Jackal came out of the captain's room and immediately took his team members away from the Rhine freighter.

At about 1 a.m., when the Japanese sentries were all drowsy, a group of masked men suddenly attacked the guards of the Rhine freighter.

Fierce gunfire echoed throughout the dock, and patrolmen on both sides of the dock rushed over to support.

Just when the Japanese squad defending the Rhine freighter was about to be completely wiped out, the Japanese patrol team arrived and quickly joined the battle.

The masked man was defeated and began to retreat, disappearing without a trace in the cover of night.

The Japanese began a large-scale search of the Qinhuangdao dock, but nothing was found.

In fact, Jackal and his men had already changed back into the uniforms of the Navy Special Forces and were searching warehouse after warehouse at the docks.

They had brushed shoulders with the Japanese search team twice, but the Japanese search team did not notice anything unusual about them.

A Japanese captain and his soldiers boarded the Rhine freighter and entered the captain's room.

The captain of the Rhine roared his strongest protest to the Japanese captain:

"These bandits are obviously coming for the machinery on my ship. I want to protest to our Führer Hitler that our ship has been illegally seized by you. If your ship goes to our Germany in the future, we will also seize your ship."

The interpreter translated the German captain's serious protest to the captain word for word.

"I'm sorry, Captain. We don't want to see this happen. We will strengthen the protection of your freighter. Can you tell me where you are going?"

"I have told you many times that we are going to Jinzhou. A businessman there has ordered this batch of cotton yarn machines."

"Okay, can you please let us search it?"

"What right do you have to search the merchant ships of your contracting party so unreasonably? Do we have the right to seize and search your ships at will when they come to our country?"

The captain had no choice but to say goodbye to the captain and report to his superiors.

Before leaving, the captain left behind a small team to protect the safety of the freighter.

The captain came to the naval headquarters and reported the captain of the Rhine's protest to Daisaku Matsushima.

Colonel Matsushima smiled and shook his head, saying, "This old German guy is really stubborn."

"Your Excellency, our Empire's freighters often go to Germany to purchase strategic materials and weapons and equipment. If their army also seizes our freighters like we did, will it cause trouble for us?"

Colonel Matsushima nodded, obviously agreeing with the captain's analysis.

"Besides, we don't have any information about the Rhine freighter collaborating with the enemy. Judging from the direction it was heading, it might be heading to Huludao. And if it's heading in this direction, it might not only be heading to Huludao, but also to Jinzhou, Dandong or Yingkou."

"You have a point. It's already early morning. Let's see what happens tomorrow. Pay attention to the security of this freighter."

"I have arranged a team to defend nearby."

Colonel Matsushima waved his hand and the captain left the command center.

However, what Colonel Matsushima and the Captain did not expect was that at three o'clock in the morning, the Marine squad they sent to guard the Rhine freighter was attacked again by masked men.

The Jackal's attack was well-measured, inflicting heavy damage on the Marine squad defending the Rhine freighter while forcing them to wait for reinforcements from the dock patrol.

There is no doubt that this group of masked men was repelled by the patrol again.

David had to send another team of Marines to defend there and strengthen patrols around the dock.

"Do you think the cotton yarn machine on this old German ship was sent to Huludao?" Colonel Matsushima asked the captain.

"It shouldn't be. According to the intelligence we have, the Devil Army already has a cotton mill in Tiaobinshan County, and it's quite large."

"Maybe our suspicions are really wrong." Colonel Matsushima agreed.

"So let him go now?"

"Let's talk about it during the day. You personally lead people to search for this group of black-masked men. Their shooting skills are so accurate. Could it be that someone from the Devil's Army has infiltrated?"

"In order to survive, Huzi practiced his marksmanship more accurately."

Colonel Matsushima said nothing and waved his hand to let the captain go out.

After saluting Colonel Matsushima, the captain turned around and led the team to search for the masked men.

The search continued until dawn, but the masked group was not found.

At about seven in the morning, the captain went to the Navy Headquarters to ask Colonel Matsushima whether the Rhine freighter could be released. But he found that Colonel Matsushima had gone to the Army Headquarters.

Colonel Matsushima went to the Army Headquarters to find Major Ochiai Masaru. His troops were the only ones in Qinhuangdao who had fought against the Devil's troops.

Major Masaru Ochiai asked a second lieutenant who had fought against the Devil Forces years ago to come and introduce the situation of the Devil Forces to Colonel Matsushima.

When Colonel Matsushima heard the second lieutenant say that the Devil's troops had accurate marksmanship, high military quality, and uniforms that were very similar to their army's uniforms, he seemed to have thought of something and hurried back to the Navy Headquarters.
