Devil's Army

If you have a boat, you must have a boatman. Although the Japanese captured many boatmen, those who grew up by the river all knew a few tricks.

Soon, two young villagers volunteered to come and work as boatmen.

In order to cooperate with this operation, the commander of the second regiment deliberately launched a feint attack on the Japanese troops opposite Xiaoling River at 11 o'clock.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the Second Regiment's artillery concentrated the regiment's mortars and fiercely bombarded Xiao Ling's position to the east.

The soldiers of the first company of the second battalion also shouted loudly and fiercely fired at the devils on the other side of Xiaoling River. It was as if thousands of troops were rushing across the river.

The Japanese troops on the position east of Xiaoling River were caught off guard and hurriedly fought back while calling for help.

When the Japanese in Jianye Town heard the deafening sound of gunfire, they quickly sent reinforcements.

Xiaoling River is a natural barrier for them. If the devil troops break through this barrier, they can only escape.

At this time, two miles downstream from the battle position, on a small fishing boat, two boatmen were rowing desperately to transport a row of boats to the east bank of Xiaoling River.

The small fishing boat made three trips and finally brought a row of fifty-five people to the east bank of Xiaoling River.

At this time, the battle on the front of the road was in full swing, and the Japanese's attention was all attracted by the sound of gunfire to the west of Xiaoling River.

The platoon leader asked two soldiers to scout ahead, and they followed behind, cautiously moving towards Jianye Town.

The closer you get to Jianye Town, the more Japanese and puppet troops there are running around.

When we arrived at the gate of Jianye Town, the only people coming in and out were the Japanese and the puppet army, not a single ordinary citizen.

A platoon leader hid at the town gate, thinking about how to enter the city.

Before the platoon leader could come up with a solution, about thirty puppet soldiers came out of Jianye Town and headed straight for the fortifications on the east side of Xiaoling River.

The platoon leader immediately ordered his troops to follow.

Far away from Jianye Town, the platoon leader ordered the second and third squads to quickly surround the puppet army from both wings. The first squad attacked the puppet army from the front.

And tell them to cover their heads as much as possible to ensure that the clothes are intact.

This puppet army was swearing and not being allowed to sleep at night while reinforcing the position east of Xiaoling River when suddenly a series of gunshots were heard from behind.

The puppet soldiers quickly lay down and fired back. At this time, gunshots were heard from both wings of the puppet army.

Soon, the puppet soldiers put down their guns and surrendered.

The platoon leader drove all 27 surrendered puppet soldiers to an open space beside the path. The bodies of the eight puppet soldiers who were killed were also dragged to the open space beside the path by the soldiers.

"Take off your clothes immediately, quickly!" a platoon leader ordered the puppet army prisoners.

However, these puppet soldiers did not understand what the platoon leader was going to do. They looked at each other and did not take any action.

The platoon leader shook the gun in his hand and ordered: "Take off your clothes quickly."

At this time, the puppet soldiers hurriedly scrambled to take off their uniforms.

The soldiers quickly put the puppet soldiers' clothes on the outside. The clothes of the eight puppet soldiers who were killed were also put on by the soldiers in the row.

The damp and cold wind blew over from the Xiaoling River from time to time, making the puppet soldiers shiver.

The platoon leader didn't have time to take care of them. He ordered the soldiers to stuff smelly socks into their mouths and then tied seven or eight puppet soldiers into a ball.

After doing all this, the platoon leader led the soldiers and continued to march towards Jianye Town.

Just now, another group of Japanese soldiers rushed to the east of Xiaoling River. Only five puppet soldiers were left at the gate of Jianye Town, pretending to guard it.

Two puppet soldiers even leaned against the gate with their eyes closed to rest.

A platoon leader and thirty-five other people walked quickly towards the gate of Jianye Town.

The two puppet soldiers who were resting with their eyes closed raised their eyes and glanced at their platoon leader. Seeing that they were not Japanese, they continued to close their eyes.

The platoon leader easily took care of the five puppet soldiers and replaced them with his own people.

The soldiers who did not change into puppet army uniforms also quickly passed through the city gate and entered Jianye Town.

Led by two guides, the platoon leader found the Japanese command post without much difficulty.

There were Japanese soldiers guarding the entrance of the command department, and they were coming and going non-stop.

The platoon leader and his men had no idea whether the arrested villagers were in the barracks next to the headquarters. It would be very risky to rush in.

The platoon leader regretted that he was in such a hurry to go into the city and did not ask the puppet soldiers where the arrested civilians were being held.

A puppet soldier hurriedly ran towards the headquarters, apparently to convey orders.

The platoon leader took him away without saying a word.

The puppet soldier looked at his unfamiliar comrade in panic.

"Tell me, where did you take the villagers?" a platoon leader asked the puppet soldier in a low voice.

"What fellow villagers?" The puppet soldiers were puzzled by the question.

"Where did you detain those boatmen?" a row of soldiers asked as they thrust their daggers into the chests of the puppet soldiers.

"Oh, yes, in the barracks." The puppet soldiers became panicked.

"How to go?"

"On the left side of the headquarters is the barracks, where there is a row of houses. At the end there are two empty houses, where the captured boatmen are held. Not on the right side, where the ammunition depot is."

When the platoon leader heard about the ammunition depot, he immediately had a new idea.
