Devil's Army

As soon as Colonel Matsushima rushed back to the naval headquarters, he immediately asked the guards to call the captain who was in charge of searching for the masked man to the headquarters.

The captain entered the headquarters, and Colonel Matsushima introduced to him the situation of the Devil Unit soldiers that he had learned from Major Masaru Ochiai.

The captain analyzed to Colonel Matsushima: "If the fighting power of the Devil's Army is so strong, how could our small team protecting the Rhine freighter resist more than 40 or 50 of them for nearly half an hour?"

"There are 40 to 50 masked men? What does Major Ochiai Masaru do for a living? He allowed so many people with weapons to sneak into the dock!"

"It was too dark to see clearly. But the surviving soldiers reported that the number of masked men who attacked them was no less than forty."

"Did you find any Army personnel when you searched the docks?"

"The dock has always been under the management of our navy. Unless there are special circumstances, the army rarely comes here. We did not find any army during our search this time."

"Intensify the search."

"Yes, Colonel, will the Rhine freighter be allowed to leave?"

"Detain us for another day. Ambush troops nearby and see if you can eliminate this group of masked men today."

Colonel Matsushima didn't know that the Jackal was only lighting a fire this time and he would not let the fire burn too much.

In the morning, he left two special forces members to pretend to be dock workers and stay at the dock to inquire about the situation of the Rhine freighter. The others all evacuated the Qinhuangdao dock and met with the Gray Wolf outside Qinhuangdao.

During the day, the captain led his men to search the dock, focusing on searching for unfamiliar army and navy soldiers.

A morning passed and the search still made no progress.

At noon, after lunch, the captain of the Rhine started yelling at the Japanese soldiers guarding the ship, and asked to see the highest commander of their navy.

The captain hurried over to solve the problem.

The captain shouted at the captain: "I am ready to ask the company to protest to your embassy."

"Captain, our Colonel Matsushima is attending a meeting in Fengtian and will be back tomorrow."

"You won't call him?"

"He's in a meeting and won't answer the phone."

"Well, I will wait until tomorrow at most. If you still don't let us go tomorrow, I will ask our company to negotiate with your embassy. Your ships will not be able to pick up goods from Germany so smoothly in the future."

After saying this, the captain returned to the Rhine with a gloomy face.

After the captain left, the captain redeployed the defense of the Rhine freighter.

He dispatched two small teams responsible for defending the Rhine freighter, claiming to participate in the search for the masked man. He secretly arranged a squadron of Marines to ambush in the dock warehouse near the Rhine freighter. If there was any movement on the Rhine freighter, they would rush over and kill the masked man.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a Chinese crew member on the Rhine freighter went to the dock as agreed with Jackal and found the two special forces members who were on the freighter last night.

The crew told the special forces that the Japanese agreed to let them go after Colonel Matsushima returned tomorrow.

After receiving the information passed on by the crew, the two special forces members immediately evacuated the dock and came to the main force of the Qinhuangdao outer special forces.

The two special forces members conveyed the information passed by the crew to Jackal and Gray Wolf, and told Jackal and others that the Japanese who were defending the Rhine freighter had withdrawn two squads, and now only one squad was left to defend.

When Gray Wolf heard this, he immediately analyzed: "Withdrawing before catching the masked man, this is obviously a trap."

"Captain, not long after you withdrew, the Japanese sent a large number of Marines to search house to house," said the two special forces members.

"It seems that the Japanese can't find you, so you have to take the bait yourself. Ignore them and take a rest. Next, let the captain of the Rhine freighter fight with the Japanese." Gray Wolf ordered.

"Okay, I'll send them both to the dock tomorrow to get information," the Jackal replied.

That night, except for the sentinels, everyone else in the Gray Wolf Special Forces was fast asleep in the woods, but the Japanese soldiers on the dock were suffering.

The Japanese marines who were in the squad defending the Rhine freighter had their eyes wide open the entire night, fearing that they would be taken away by the masked men if they were not careful.

That squadron of Japanese Marines ambushed in a warehouse near the Rhine freighter during the day while on patrol.

Because this squadron was very cautious when ambushing and the warehouse was well hidden, they actually escaped the eyes of the two special forces members sent by the Jackal to collect intelligence at the dock.

The Japanese soldiers in this squadron took turns to stare at the Rhine freighter. But until the white masked man appeared in the east, he did not attack the marines guarding the Rhine freighter.

The captain told Colonel Matsushima that he had refused to release the Rhine freighter on the pretext that the colonel was in Fengtian for a meeting. But it could only be delayed until today. If it is not released today, the German will have his company protest to our embassy!

"Didn't the masked man show up again last night?"

"Our squadron remained on guard until eight o'clock in the morning. The masked man never showed up."

Colonel Matsushima had no choice but to ask the captain to let him go.
