Devil's Army

When the old landlord heard that the poisoner had been caught by the army, he hurriedly brought his housekeeper to the military camp again, wanting to ask if there were any clues about the masked man who robbed his house.

The old landlord and the housekeeper were received by the company commander. He enthusiastically made two cups of tea for them and asked them to sit down.

"Master Jun, have you caught the masked man who robbed my house?"

"The clues you provided are very limited. It's difficult for us to catch them. Can you tell me what their characteristics are?"

"It was too dark, so I didn't notice. Oh, they all had guns, the kind of long guns your soldiers use."

"You mean our soldiers did it?"

"No, no, sir. I mean their guns are the same as your soldiers'. They are long. Not the short guns my son wears."

"All troops and bandits have guns, but this cannot be considered a characteristic. What other characteristics do they have?"

“He has eyes.”

"Are you sure he has a pair of eyes, not just one?"

“It’s really a pair of eyes.”

The company commander was speechless. With an IQ like that of the old landlord, he didn't know how he had saved up this fortune. Perhaps he had plundered it from his son, who was a company commander in the puppet army.

Seeing that the company commander didn't seem to believe it, the old landlord continued:

"The leader had very scary eyes. My calves started to tremble when I saw his eyes."

The company commander said nothing more. He knew that it was the murderous intent that naturally emanated from the eyes of his soldiers who had been killing Japanese invaders in the midst of mountains of corpses and seas of blood for years.

The company commander politely invited the old landlord and the housekeeper back.

When the old landlord left the company, he saw his son who was doing labor reform in the military camp. His eyes were filled with tears and he wanted to hug his son and tell him about the misfortune of his family. But he finally held back.

The son of the puppet army company commander also saw his father, but he did not dare to say anything, and just hurriedly lowered his head to work again.

In order to calm his inner uneasiness, the company commander invited the old landlord and the housekeeper to have lunch at Jianye Restaurant, and told He Xiucai that the cost of the old landlord's lunch should be charged to the regiment headquarters, and he would come to settle it when he had time.

The First and Third Brigades were busy clearing out the towns and villages around the East Gate of Jinzhou and the West Gate of Fengtian when the Japanese transport planes in Jinzhou were dispatched again.

The Japanese in the Liangjiashan Fortress have been trapped for nearly a month. In the past, they were rotated every week. This time, they were trapped and there was no way to rotate.

The devil's army has been besieging the Liangjiashan Fortress without attacking it, obviously wanting to trap them to death.

Although there is still food and ammunition in the fortress, the devil army's blockade may become tighter one day and transport planes may not be able to bring in.

So when the division commander Sakamoto in Jinzhou asked if he needed airdropped supplies, he immediately said yes.

The Japanese transport plane flew towards the Liangjiashan Fortress along the route taken nearly half a month ago.

The newly formed 9th Anti-Japanese Army Anti-aircraft Artillery Company, led by veterans, was keeping a close eye on the enemy's transport plane.

The transport plane flew over the position of the 75th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company. Following the order of the 12.7th Company Commander, the five mm anti-aircraft guns and three mm guns at the th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company fired eight tongues of fire at the transport plane.

The transport plane pilot saw the flames coming from the ground ahead and felt something was wrong, so he quickly pulled up the transport plane. But it was too late.

As one 75mm anti-aircraft gun after another penetrated the transport plane, the ammunition loaded in the transport plane was ignited.

The transport plane, which had just raised its head, suffered a violent explosion over the last route and disintegrated in mid-air.

The newly established 9th Anti-aircraft Artillery Company successfully blocked the air transport line between Jinzhou and Liangjiashan Fortress, cutting off the supply from Jinzhou to Liangjiashan Fortress.

The devils in the Liangjiashan Fortress began to panic. They had originally wanted to use air supplies to wear down the devil troops. Now they were in danger of being trapped and killed.

Division Commander Sakamoto immediately contacted the Chief of Staff in Fengtian to discuss how to replenish supplies for the Liangjiashan Fortress.

Once Liangjiashan is lost, Jinzhou's land transportation line will be completely cut off. Jinzhou's situation will become increasingly dangerous. Once Jinzhou is lost, Fengtian will be his turn next. Therefore, it is the chief of staff's unshirkable task to protect the Liangjiashan fortress.

The troops sent to open up the transportation line are currently insufficient. The Korean division sent by the Army Headquarters has just been defeated. The soldiers in the country have not yet been replenished to Fengtian and Jinzhou.

Sending troops was a last resort. This was the consensus between Division Commander Sakamoto and the Fengtian Chief of Staff.

After repeated discussions, Division Commander Sakamoto and the Fengtian Chief of Staff came up with a two-step strategy and telegraphed the Japanese troops in the Liangjiashan Fortress.

The Japs in the Liangjiashan Fortress initially stopped fighting back against the provocations of the First Regiment.

A regiment commander reported to the jackal: the Japanese counterattack in the Liangjiashan fortress has become much weaker, and it is very likely that they are running out of ammunition, so he requested to recapture Liangjiashan.

Based on the downed Japanese transport plane, the Jackal also concluded that there was a shortage of ammunition in the fortress, so he agreed to the regiment commander's request.

The regiment commander immediately went back to make preparations and decided to launch the battle to recapture the Liangjiashan Fortress at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
