Devil's Army

The first company chased and shot at the fleeing bandits.

The bodies of bandits fell one after another at the entrance of Jinkuang New Village, but the bandits quickly escaped without a trace thanks to their familiarity with the terrain.

The soldiers of the first company began to clean up the battlefield, and the medical soldiers began to treat the injured Self-Defense Force members.

In the first battle after the establishment of the Self-Defense Force, four bandits were killed and seven or eight were injured. Three of the bandits were killed by hunters.

The Self-Defense Forces also lost two members and six were injured.

After this battle, the Self-Defense Forces realized that danger could come at any time. And their marksmanship needed to be improved urgently. Everyone would consciously go to the empty square at the entrance of the village to train whenever they had time.

The One-Eyed Dragon's sneak attack on the Gold Mine Village resulted in the death of two Self-Defense Force members. This also broke his practice of seeking money without killing people. It also touched the bottom line of the First Army.

The commander of the Eighth Brigade decided to annihilate the bandits who had been active in the mountains and forests near the Wangjiadagou gold mine.

The company commander arranged two platoons, led by hunters, and began to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits.

Qingyuan Manchu Autonomous County is full of high mountains, dense forests and many caves, so it is not easy to search for dozens of bandits.

The hunter led two platoons of soldiers from the army and searched several places where bandits often appeared for a day, but found no trace of the bandits.

Platoon Leader He and his men returned to the Gold Mine New Village exhausted and disappointed.

The company commander called a meeting with Platoon Leaders He, Wang and the hunters under a big tree in front of the village to discuss how to encircle and suppress the bandits led by One-Eyed Dragon.

Platoon Leader He said that when he was a soldier in the Qingyuan Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, he fought against the Japanese in the jungle of Qingyuan. The Japanese had never been able to do anything to the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

The bandits are using this trick to deal with us. They don't have any of our people among them, so it's hard for us to track their whereabouts. Moreover, the bandits are like frightened rabbits, and they will move away at the slightest sign of trouble.

Platoon Leader Wang suggested finding a suitable bait to lure these bandits into the trap.

But no one has been able to find a suitable bait.

The armed forces of the Gold Mine New Village are stronger than the bandits and are not the best bait.

Pretending to be a merchant caravan to lure the bandits into the trap was too far-fetched.

Because people who do business on this road don't often pass by. And when the bandits were attacked, a caravan passed by immediately. How could the bandits not be suspicious?

Just when everyone was at a loss, the next morning, the hunter opened the door and saw snow falling outside.

The hunter excitedly ran to Cong the platoon leader and told him that prey was most likely to leave footprints in heavy snow.

Platoon Leaders He and Wang immediately gathered their troops and followed the hunters into the mountains to look for traces of the bandits.

Hard work pays off. With his keen sense, the hunter found several human footprints in the snow under a jungle.

The footprints meandered up the mountain. The hunter told Platoon Leader He that there was a large cave where the footprints led.

Everyone was excited all of a sudden. After two days of hard work, there were finally results.

The further up the mountain we went, the more blurred our footprints became.

The hunter keenly felt that the footprints had been cleared by humans.

Platoon Leader He and his men climbed one step deep and one step shallow, and finally reached the vicinity of the cave.

There were many footprints near the cave, extending into the cave. It was obvious that there must be someone in the cave.

Platoon Leader He waved his hand and the soldiers quickly surrounded the entrance of the cave.

"Is there an entrance at the back of this cave?" Platoon Leader He asked the hunter.

"Yes, there is a cave entrance behind the mountain that is connected to this cave." The hunter told Platoon Leader He.

"Platoon Leader Wang, please go to the cave entrance behind the mountain and guard it to prevent the bandits from escaping from the cave entrance behind the mountain later."

"Okay, we'll go right away." After saying this, Platoon Leader Wang led their platoon, led by the hunter, to the entrance of the cave behind the mountain.

Platoon Leader He estimated the time and believed that Platoon Leader Wang and his soldiers should have reached the cave entrance behind the mountain, so he began to order the soldiers to shout into the cave.

"You are surrounded. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise we will kill you all." The soldier shouted into the cave.

But no matter how the soldiers shouted, there was no response from inside the cave.

"Platoon leader, is there no one in the cave?"

"That shouldn't be the case. There are so many footprints of people walking around at the entrance of the cave."

When Platoon Leader He was shouting into the cave, Platoon Leader Wang and his men had already reached the cave entrance behind the mountain.

Platoon Leader Wang divided the soldiers into two teams and ambushed them behind the trees on both sides of the cave.

As long as the bandits run out of the cave, they will block the retreat route back to the cave entrance and wipe out all the bandits outside the cave.

The hunter also climbed up a tree with a better view and stared at the cave entrance. He was responsible for sniping the escaping bandits.

Platoon Leader He asked the soldiers to shout into the cave again. After the echo, there was still no movement in the cave.

Platoon Leader He ordered three soldiers to get close to the cave entrance and throw grenades into it. After the grenades exploded, a group of soldiers quickly rushed into the cave and eliminated the bandits inside.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of grenade explosions sounded in the cave.

The explosion of the grenade had just stopped and the smoke had not yet dispersed. The squad leader immediately ordered the soldiers to rush into the cave.

At this moment, the squad leader suddenly saw a dark shadow in the cave rushing towards them desperately.

The squad leader immediately ordered the soldiers to lie down and open fire.
