Devil's Army

After the soldiers of the first company cleaned up the battlefield, the company commander and his platoon leader Feng and his men returned to Yanjia Town.

At this time, the third battalion commander and his men had already entered Yanjia Town.

Yanjia Town was not damaged during the fierce battle, but the city wall collapsed in several places due to the mortars of the Third Battalion.

The third battalion commander arranged for people to clean up the city wall and began to arrange soldiers to patrol to see if there were any remaining Japanese and puppet troops.

The battalion headquarters was set up in the devil’s command post in Yanjia Town.

The first company commander led Platoon Leader Feng and his men to the battalion headquarters. He left the other puppet soldiers outside the headquarters and took Platoon Leader Feng into the battalion headquarters.

After listening to the first company commander's speech, the third battalion commander asked Platoon Leader Feng what plan he had.

Platoon Leader Feng stepped forward, saluted the Third Battalion Commander, and said:

"I will try to sneak into Youwei Town, find my two brothers, and then explain my purpose to them, asking them to cooperate, start an internal uprising, and support your army to enter the town."

"Return to your army?" The third battalion commander asked Platoon Leader Feng with a smile.

"Oh, no, it's to support us in entering the town."

"I think this method is inappropriate. First of all, you have to sneak into the town to find your brothers. And you don't know whether your brothers agree to the uprising. If your identity is exposed, it will bring unnecessary sacrifices." The third battalion commander replied.

"I am not afraid of death. And I believe my two brothers will not betray me."

"It's not a question of whether or not to be afraid, but rather a question of whether or not to be afraid. I think you should lead your troops and pretend to be defeated and flee to Youwei Town. After you settle down, you can have a chance to talk to your two brothers. This way, the chances of success will be greater."

"This is a new idea." The company commander came forward and said.

Platoon Leader Feng also nodded in agreement.

The third battalion commander had a detailed discussion about the defeat and rout of Platoon Leader Feng and his men.

The first question we need to solve is why the Japanese and puppet forces fled together, but only the puppet troops successfully escaped to Youwei Town, without a single Japanese soldier left?

Platoon Leader Feng pointed out that the Japanese often used them as cannon fodder, making them rush to the front and fight fiercely with the guerrillas.

The third battalion commander helped Platoon Leader Feng design a battle plan in which the Japanese army left their puppet army to attract the attack of the devil troops, and they fled to Jinzhou themselves. Platoon Leader Feng and his men were defeated by the attack of the devil troops and fled to Youwei Town. The Japanese army fled to Jinzhou and their whereabouts were unknown.

But there will be casualties in battle. The members of Platoon Leader Feng and his platoon were unharmed. If you tell the Japanese in Youwei Town that they had experienced a fierce battle, they will never believe you.

The puppet soldiers who died in the battle were easy to deal with. We could just leave a dozen puppet soldiers who did not participate in the operation and put them on the list of dead. But the puppet soldiers who were injured were a bit of a headache.

Fake injuries are easily noticed by the Japanese, while real injuries mean that some puppet soldiers will suffer.

Platoon Leader Feng and the first company commander walked out of the command center to discuss with their brothers.

Platoon Leader Feng had always been kind to his brothers. Suddenly, many puppet soldiers came forward willing to pretend to be wounded soldiers.

Finally, Platoon Leader Feng picked out five of his best friends and had the soldiers of the First Army shoot and injure them, pretending they were wounded soldiers. He also picked out 15 puppet soldiers and left them behind, pretending they were dead soldiers.

After completing these tasks, Platoon Leader Feng did not stop and immediately took the remaining puppet army brothers and headed for Youwei Town.

The commander of the third battalion then left a platoon of the first battalion to garrison Yanjia Town, and the other large troops followed suit and set off for Youwei Town.

Platoon Leader Feng and his men stumbled to Youwei Town, where they were stopped by the Japanese and puppet troops stationed there.

"We are from the second row of the Imperial Army in Yanjia Town. The devil troops have now captured our Yanjia Town, and we are forced to come and join you."

"Who can prove your identity?" asked a puppet soldier.

"I have met your Platoon Leader Jia several times, and he can prove it." Platoon Leader Feng said calmly.

Soon, after receiving the report, Platoon Leader Jia hurried to the gate of Youwei Town.

He saw Platoon Leader Feng from a distance and greeted him, "Brother Feng, why are you in such a mess?"

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words."

"Let's go to the headquarters and take a rest."

With Platoon Leader Jia's testimony, Platoon Leader Feng and his men successfully entered Youwei Town and arrived at the Japanese command post.

There are two squads of Japanese soldiers stationed here, and the commander is a lieutenant.

The Japanese lieutenant summoned Platoon Leader Feng, who told the Japanese lieutenant the whole story according to what the third battalion commander had taught him.

The Japanese lieutenant then asked the signalman to contact the small group of Japanese soldiers in Yanjia Town. However, after calling many times, there was no news from the small group of Japanese soldiers in Yanjia Town.

But the Japanese lieutenant still believed it firmly, because using puppet troops as cannon fodder was a glorious tradition of the devils.

What worries the Japanese lieutenant is that the devil troops have taken over Yanjia Town, and the next step will be to attack his Youwei Town.

The Japanese lieutenant replenished ammunition for Platoon Leader Feng and his men, and incorporated them into Platoon Leader Jia's puppet army, making him Platoon Leader Jia's deputy.

Platoon Leader Feng said he would follow the Imperial Army's arrangements in everything.

In the evening, in order to facilitate the next work, Platoon Leader Feng took out his so-called private money to invite Platoon Leader Jia and several squad leaders to a restaurant for a meal, in order to thank Platoon Leader Jia and get their opinions.
