Devil's Army

Captain Pingjin's large force split into two groups. After wreaking havoc on several villages and searching in vain, they returned to the county town in disgrace.

Wen Lang and his three teams also returned to Hujia Village in the evening. Everyone sat down to summarize the gains and shortcomings of the three teams. Everyone found that the new team members' shooting skills were really not good, so Wen Lang decided to strengthen military training every morning and carry out cold gun and cold artillery activities in the afternoon.

The next morning, the team members got up and trained just like they did at the Hejiazhai headquarters. The new team members knew their shortcomings and trained even harder.

In the afternoon, Wen Lang led a small team to the gate of the county town. The new team members were given the opportunity to practice their marksmanship on the Japanese soldiers and puppet troops at the gate of the county town, while the old team members aimed at the Japanese soldiers on the city wall.

"Bang, bang, bang..." After a round of gunfire, Wen Lang immediately led his squad to retreat. The Japanese and puppet soldiers on the city wall and at the city gate were shot and fell to the ground.

The Japanese immediately fired at the place where Wen Lang and his men were hiding, and sent out soldiers to search the city, but apart from finding some shell casings, they didn't even see a ghost.

Wen Lang and his men retreated to a place called Xinglongtun Village on the right side of the county town to rest for a while, and promoted anti-Japanese resistance to the villagers, encouraging them to join the army and defend their country.

The second squad of Fox and Wolf ambushed the Japanese soldiers stationed at Aozuikou and immediately fled into the woods after the success.

At this time, Wulang's third team arrived at the gate of Diaobeishan Coal Mine. After a round of gunfire, the six Japanese soldiers at the gate and on the watchtower were killed again.

After Wulang's three teams succeeded, they retreated to Liujia Village under the leadership of the Liujia Village team members.

Liujia Village was too close to the Diaobeishan Coal Mine, and was often harmed by the Japanese and puppet troops from the Diaobeishan Coal Mine. The lives of the common people were miserable. Wu Lang led three small teams into Liujia Village, promoted the anti-Japanese policy to the villagers, and encouraged everyone to join the army. 16 people immediately joined the army.

When Captain Pingjin in the county heard reports of enemy attacks from various places, he immediately sent troops on motorcycles and trucks out of the city to reinforce the search. But the result was the same: nothing was found. Captain Pingjin was so angry that he swept the documents on his desk to the ground and cursed loudly:

"They are just a bunch of rats. They can only attack secretly and don't dare to fight us, the Imperial Japanese Army, face to face." The other Japanese soldiers in the office looked at each other and dared not say a word.

After the rage, things still needed to be dealt with. Pingjin Chuanshu saw that such a large-scale search was a waste of manpower and money and had no results, so he decided to lay an ambush in the place where the small team often launched attacks and wait for the opportunity.

In the evening, all three teams returned to Hujia Village. Except for one member of Wenlang's team who was slightly injured, the other two teams had no casualties. Team 16 also brought back new members. Wenlang's team also brought back six new members from Xinglongtun Village. Only Fox Wolf's team made no progress.

"Captain, are we going tomorrow?" A new team member who became addicted to sneak attacks asked Wenlang.

"Three times the limit, there will be no chance of a surprise attack. If we launch another sneak attack, we might be ambushed by the Japanese. In addition, there are more than 20 new members joining us. We will not plan any new combat missions this week. Let's focus on training first." Wenlang replied.

The next morning, as the assembly whistle sounded (since they were deep in the enemy's belly, the troops did not blow a loud wake-up call), the team members gathered in Hujia Village. Wenlang temporarily organized the 22 new members into a group, and Heilang was responsible for training. The other three teams trained as usual. The enemy and puppet troops at the three places, Aozuikou and Diaobeishan, had already set up a siege, waiting for the three teams to take the bait.

The devils endured mosquito bites in these three places and ambushed for three days, but still did not see the target appear. However, Pingjin Chuandou believed that there is no cat that does not eat fish. Since Wenlang and his men had taken advantage of these places, they would definitely come again, so he ordered the troops to continue the ambush.

On the fifth day, the target still did not appear. Pingjin Chuanshu had no choice but to withdraw the ambushing troops. He consoled himself in his heart: "These people have already withdrawn."

In the past few days, Wen Lang has been focusing on training his troops. Except for the sentinels, none of the other three teams have even left the village.

A week later, Wen Lang's desire to fight the Japanese began to beat again, and he was ready to continue his cold gun and cold artillery campaign.

At this time, the sentry at the entrance of the village came over with two fellow villagers.

"Report to the captain, these two people were sneaking around the village entrance, so we caught them." The sentry reported.

"Sir, we are not bad people. We are from Liujia Village. We were captured by the Japanese and forced to work as laborers in the coal mine. Today they brought another truckload of laborers here, and we found an opportunity to escape. We haven't eaten all day, so we wanted to go to Hujia Village to see if there is anything to eat."

"Are you from Liujia Village?" Wenlang asked.

"Yes, sir."

"Shorty Wolf, go call Liu Wenbiao in." Wenlang shouted to Li Shaohua at the door.

"Yes!" Li Shaohua responded and ran away.

After a while, the strong miner came in carelessly. As soon as he entered the command room, the two fellow villagers shouted:

"Brother Yuen Biao, why are you here?"

"Erxi, Sanxi, why are you here?" the strong miner asked in surprise.

"We don't dare go back to Liujia Village, so we went to Hujia Village to see if there is anything to eat. We have been hungry for a day and two nights."

"Captain, they are from our village, their names are Liu Erxi and Liu Sanxi. Last time the Japanese came to Liujia Village to capture laborers, more than 20 of us escaped from the back mountain, but they were captured by the Japanese again."

"Okay, Yuen Biao, take them to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat. If not, make something for them. I have something to ask them later."

"Yes!" Liu Wenbiao saluted and left with two fellow villagers.
