Devil's Army

Chapter 70 The Golden Age of Development

In this battle, Leng Feng's special forces seized more than 700 guns of various types, more than 700 sets of military coats, grenades, shells, and a batch of food. They also seized four mortars and a small steel cannon. There was a surplus of guns for each member of the brigade, which provided support for his vigorous expansion of the army.

On the Japanese side, Miyamoto Musashi remained silent for a long time after reading Captain Matsuda's report. He sat in his office in a daze. He didn't know if this was his fate, but he suffered repeated setbacks while other troops were marching forward in the Northeast. Three of the four squadrons had been crippled, and the most elite Ono Special Forces had also been attacked. He was no longer able to send troops to encircle and suppress. What should he do? Just sit back and watch this devilish army grow stronger?

When Major Miyamoto was at a loss, Leng Feng directly deployed the 4th Squadron in a small forest five kilometers in front of Tieling County, digging fortifications and preparing for war. He directly included several villages outside Tieling County into his jurisdiction. In this way, the population base within his activity area has increased several times compared to a few months ago. The larger the population base, the larger the source of soldiers.

Wen Lang also naturally attacked Aozuikou and expanded the defense area to Aozuikou. The defense area was expanded from one Hujia Village to eight villages including Liujia Village. Even the Diaobeishan Coal Mine was included in his jurisdiction. However, with his current strength, he could not firmly guard this coal mine, so he did not develop it for the time being.

Leng Feng took advantage of the golden period when Tieling County and Tiaobinshan County were unable to encircle and suppress them, and took advantage of the period to recuperate, massively expand the army, intensify training, and develop planting.

Some team leaders got carried away and thought they should liberate Tiaobinshan and Tieling counties in one fell swoop. Leng Feng disagreed because he knew that their overall strength was still very weak. Even if they could capture the two counties, they would not be able to hold them, and the war would bring disaster to the people in the counties. He did not surround the two counties because the people would suffer first and last.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru, was a little bit unconvinced when he heard Miyamoto Musashi's report. His 2-strong Kwantung Army had forced back more than 20 Northeastern Army troops and successfully occupied Fengtian. However, Miyamoto Musashi's -strong Kwantung Army was crippled by hundreds of guerrillas. He ordered the removal of Miyamoto Musashi from all his posts and transferred him back to the country to await his fate. He would send another battalion to take over his defense.

Since Fengtian had just been occupied, there were many things to deal with and the troops were stretched thin everywhere. In addition, the matter of sending a large team to take over his defense zone was also delayed again and again.

During these two months, Marshal Zhang's Northeast Army withdrew without firing a shot, but the people of Baishan Heishui did not bow their heads and joined the Canglang Special Forces enthusiastically. The special forces also expanded from more than 500 people to more than 1,200 people. The troops were also expanded from the battalion organization to the general team organization. The four squadrons under it were also expanded to the battalion organization. Among them, the two female college students that Gray Wolf rescued last time at Fengtian University also came with eight classmates. Leng Feng warmly welcomed them and temporarily kept all ten of them at the headquarters.

Wang Zhuangfei's Fourth Battalion was apparently still guarding the small woods five kilometers in front of Tieling County, but in reality it was guarding a sparsely traveled mountain road on the left side of Hejiazhai Village.

Since the Japanese army's artillery, tanks, and aircraft had an absolute advantage in firepower, the Fourth Battalion, under the guidance of Leng Feng, dug a large number of anti-artillery holes under the fortifications. The military quality of the troops was also greatly improved under the scientific and strict training of Leng Feng's former special forces.

In Hujia Village, Wen Lang's Second Battalion expanded the fastest, reaching nearly 400 people. Wen Lang's former miners used their skills to expand the cave that could only accommodate more than 100 people to an underground camp that could accommodate more than 500 people. They also dug a medical room and a kitchen. The medical room dug several ventilation holes in a hidden place. Wen Lang also installed solar LED lights in the four corners of the medical room. The solar panels were placed in an inconspicuous position on the cliff. When the lights were turned on, the entire medical room was as bright as day. The kitchen installed the exhaust pipe under the cliff. The bottom of the cliff is always shrouded in smoke, so even if the enemy was cooking when they passed by, they could not see it.

The most exciting thing is that when the cave was expanded, a small underground water flow was found inside the cave. The opening of the underground water flow is very small, and a person cannot get in. Judging from the direction of the water flow, it should flow down the cliff.

The large amount of soil and stones dug out from the cave were piled up at the intersection of the cliff to build two simple defensive fortifications.

Two and a half months later, the newly arrived Takahashi Ken Battalion arrived in Faku and took over the defense of Miyamoto Musashi. Miyamoto Musashi also officially resigned and prepared to return home.

After resting for two days, Takahashi left a small team to guard the Faku, and took the remaining infantry company of Miyamoto Musashi, a machine gun artillery company and his own troops to Tiaobinshan County and Tieling County.

When the troops arrived at Tiaobinshan County, Ono Jiro had been transferred back to the Kwantung Army Headquarters. As expected, he was scolded and asked to reorganize the special operations team. The person who received Major Takahashi was Lieutenant Takeo, a subordinate of Hirazu Kawaki. After the troops rested for a day, Takahashi Ken left two squadrons and then brought the remaining devils to Tieling County.

Captain Matsuda, who was stationed in Tieling County, received Major Takahashi. Major Takahashi stood on the wall of Tieling County, looking through a telescope at the 4th Battalion of the Lengfeng Special Operations Force stationed outside the county, and angrily scolded Captain Matsuda:

"You are a disgrace to the Imperial Japanese Army. You actually let the Chinese pigs surround the county town and dare not go out."

Captain Matsuda nodded and responded, "Hi, hi."

Major Takahashi left Captain Matsuda behind and led his men back to the headquarters. He also did not attend the welcome banquet hosted by Captain Matsuda.
