Devil's Army

After returning to the barracks, Platoon Leader Jia immediately arranged for his confidants to guard the entrance to the barracks and told them that no one was allowed to leave without his warrant.

This is exactly what Platoon Leader Feng wanted to do. So Platoon Leader Feng arranged for the soldiers to keep an eye on Platoon Leader Jia's every move. As long as Platoon Leader Jia didn't do anything weird, they would be safe.

The next morning, at daybreak, the city gates were not open yet, and the Japanese on the city wall were surprised to find that Youwei Town had been surrounded by the devil's army. There were swaying figures in front of the city wall.

After receiving the report, the Japanese lieutenant hurried to the front of the city wall, picked up a telescope and looked outside the city wall.

The lieutenant estimated from the shadows swaying outside the city wall that the devil's army would be no less than a battalion.

On the one hand, the lieutenant asked the city gates to be closed and prepared for battle, and on the other hand, he asked for help from Jinzhou.

Sakamoto, the division commander of Jinzhou, was speechless after receiving the telegram for help. He himself was surrounded by the devil's troops and could only ask for help from Minami Jiro, the new commander of the Kwantung Army.

Nanjiro refused, saying that he had just taken office and had many things to do, so he could not split his time. He asked them to hold on with all their strength and that reinforcements from the country would arrive soon.

Division Commander Sakamoto followed suit and asked the lieutenant of Youwei Town to hold on with all his strength until his reinforcements arrived as soon as possible.

The two sides confronted each other until noon, and the devil army did not attack the city. Even the ambush location of the army seemed to have not changed.

After noon, the lieutenant could no longer bear it and ordered the puppet army to send a squad to investigate.

Platoon leader Jia had a headache. He was about to attack the devil from behind and surrender to the devil army. Now the devil asked him to send troops to investigate the devil army's movements. Isn't this a provocation to the devil army? But now the devil is fully preparing for war, and it is obviously not a good time to turn against the devil.

At this time, Platoon Leader Feng volunteered to go out and investigate the situation of the Devil's troops.

Platoon Leader Jia was very happy. After all, Platoon Leader Feng was not his man. When the devil troops blamed him, he could say that it was Platoon Leader Feng's personal behavior and had nothing to do with him.

Platoon Leader Feng went out of the city gate and slipped away to meet the third battalion commander while the Japanese on the city wall were not looking.

He told Captain Zhang that he had already contacted Platoon Leader Jia of the puppet army and had a talk with them, and that they were still a little short of turning against him.

After hearing this, the third battalion commander nodded and told Platoon Leader Feng that they would attack the city at 4 pm. He asked Platoon Leader Feng and his men to stay away from the city wall at the gate and find a suitable time to join Platoon Leader Jia in turning against the enemy and supporting the troops in attacking the city.

When Platoon Leader Feng and his men were preparing to return to Youwei Town, the Third Battalion Commander told him that in order to help them successfully guard the city gate, they would bombard the city gate. After three bombardments, they would ask the Japanese for permission to defend the city gate and wait for an opportunity to open the city gate to welcome the troops into the city.

Platoon Leader Feng nodded to show that he understood.

After returning to the city, Platoon Leader Feng told the Japanese lieutenant that all the devil soldiers outside the door were scarecrows.

The lieutenant was relieved when he heard this and ordered the soldiers not to be so nervous and scare themselves. The devil's army did not have that many soldiers.

Platoon Leader Feng met with Platoon Leader Jia and found a secluded place to sit down.

Platoon Leader Feng told Platoon Leader Jia that there were more than a thousand devil troops outside the city wall, and he had expressed his intention to surrender to the commander of the devil troops, who welcomed him.

Platoon Leader Jia didn't expect that he would abandon Platoon Leader Feng and his men in times of crisis. But Platoon Leader Feng was still thinking about him, and he couldn't help but patted Platoon Leader Feng's shoulder and said, "Brother, you have survived this disaster. I will treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

"We can eat anytime. Let's get through this difficulty first. Tell your brothers to stay away from the city gate when they go up to the city wall for defense."

Platoon Leader Jia nodded gratefully.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery of the Third Battalion of the First Anti-Japanese Army began to launch fierce bombardment on the city gate and nearby city walls.

The Japanese soldiers at the city gate and nearby walls suffered heavy casualties, but the puppet soldiers of Platoon Leaders Feng and Jia were not affected because they were patrolling in these places far away from the bombardment.

Platoon Leader Feng discussed with Platoon Leader Jia and decided that he would take the lead in attacking the devils, and Platoon Leader Jia's soldiers would follow up. Together with the devil troops, they took down Youwei Town in one fell swoop.

After three rounds of artillery fire, Platoon Leader Feng proposed to the Japanese lieutenant that their troops should defend the city gate.

The Japanese lieutenant was overjoyed. The Japanese troops at the gate and the city wall were suddenly bombarded by the devil's troops, and suffered heavy casualties. Now someone volunteered to be a scapegoat, which he certainly wanted.

Platoon Leader Feng successfully gained the right to defend the gate, and Platoon Leader Jia also slowly outflanked the Japanese from the city wall.

After stopping the shelling, soldiers from an army outside the city wall began to attack Youwei Town.

The Japs on the city wall began to shoot at the devil soldiers outside the wall, and asked the artillery to set up the artillery quickly and prepare to bombard the devil soldiers who were attacking the city outside the wall.

However, what the Japanese lieutenant did not expect was that as soon as his artillerymen set up the gun, fierce gunfire was heard from the artillery position.

The puppet army squad led by Platoon Leader Feng was attacking the Japanese artillerymen who were setting up the guns.

The Japanese lieutenant was furious, it turned out that he had let a wolf into the house.

He ordered the Japanese troops on the city wall to eliminate Platoon Leader Feng's puppet troops first.

At this time, Platoon Leader Jia's puppet army also attacked the Japanese troops who were shooting at Platoon Leader Feng and his men under the city wall.
