Devil's Army

The Japanese agreed to the conditions of the brigade commander, and the brigade commander began to ask people to contact a cargo ship to send the Japanese away from Jinzhou.

The third regiment commander followed the advice of the first brigade commander and bought a cargo ship from a captain. He also arranged for the soldiers to bury some good things in the cargo ship.

A brigade commander borrowed a watch from a college student soldier with great difficulty. He personally modified the watch into a time bomb and then set the time to put it among the goodies in the cargo ship.

The Japanese received a notice from a brigade commander and began to escort civilians towards Jinzhou Port.

The Japanese commander arrived at the freighter arranged for them by the brigade commander and arranged a small team of Japanese to search on the freighter.

Nothing was found on the freighter except the captain.

More than 800 Japanese soldiers boarded the cargo ship one after another. The Japanese commander ordered the soldiers to prepare to shoot the civilians who were about to leave.

A captain stopped the commander's action. He explained to the commander:

"Although we are safely on the freighter, the devil army has many ways to deal with us. They can still bombard us, send warships to chase us, and send small aircraft to bomb us. Let's not make things more complicated. Let's retreat directly to Qinhuangdao Port and look for an opportunity to make a comeback."

The commander thought what the captain said made sense, and ordered the soldiers to put down their guns and let the civilians leave.

A navy officer disguised as a captain started to sail away from Jinzhou Port at the request of the devils.

The freighter sailed a short distance and suddenly stopped. Then the captain suddenly left the cabin and dived into the sea.

The Japanese felt something was wrong and fired desperately at the place where the captain jumped into the sea, but they never saw the captain again.

Just when the Japs were at a loss, the explosives hidden under the deck of the freighter suddenly exploded.

The explosives blew two large holes in the side and bottom of the ship, and the surging sea water rushed into the freighter through the two holes.

In less than half an hour, with a loud bang, the entire freighter sank to the bottom of the Bohai Sea with more than 800 Japanese devils.

"Brigade Commander, you still have a way. We can send more than 800 Japanese soldiers to feed the turtles without losing a single soldier." The third regiment commander said happily.

"These beasts who disregard the lives of ordinary people don't deserve to live in this world." A brigade commander said coldly as he watched the freighter sink to the bottom of the sea.

All the Japanese invaders on the west side of Nv'er River were wiped out, and the First Brigade began to arrange soldiers to clean up the damaged houses and streets.

Jinzhou began to return to normal under the joint maintenance of the 1st and 4th Brigades. However, the commander of the 4th Brigade was always worried about the Japanese who had escaped into the woods.

The commanders of the Fourth Brigade and the First Brigade met at the headquarters of the Japanese division commander Sakamoto in Jinzhou City, preparing to discuss the two brigades' coordinated search for the remaining Japanese in the forest.

The signalman of the Fourth Brigade came to report: a fierce battle had occurred between the row of soldiers guarding the forest entrance and the Japanese in the forest.

"What are the casualties of our army?" Wang Zhuangfei asked nervously.

"We suffered more than twenty casualties in our platoon."

"Have the Japanese escaped?" Wang Zhuangfei was most afraid that the Japanese in the forest would escape to Jinzhou City and cause trouble.

"When our battalion commander arrived with reinforcements, the Japs had fled back into the forest."

Wang Zhuangfei breathed a sigh of relief. It would be much easier to deal with the enemy since they were still in the forest. He ordered:

"The first battalion continues to defend the forest entrance."

He also discussed with a brigade commander and decided that the two brigades would conduct a large-scale search for the Japanese in the forest tomorrow morning.

At eight o'clock the next morning, except for the garrison troops, more than 15,000 people from the 1st and 4th Brigades divided into areas and conducted a dragnet search for the Japanese in the forest.

Wang Zhuangfei looked at the massive search team and felt deeply moved.

Three years ago, he led his troops to Hejiaqi'an Village and encountered a large-scale search by the Japanese. The troops were almost wiped out. Later, under the leadership of Dwarf Wolf, they hid in an underground warehouse and escaped.

Three years later, this scene appeared again, but the roles changed.

But what made Brigade Commander Wang regretful was that the troops searched for a whole day but did not find the Japanese hiding in the forest.

The commanders of the first and fourth brigades decided that the two troops would surround the entire forest in different areas.

'As long as the Japanese don't leave this forest, they won't be able to harm the people. Besides, there's a shortage of food and water in the forest, so the Japanese can't survive for long.

Fortunately, there was no major battle at the moment, so the First and Fourth Brigades could stay outside the forest and fight the Japanese. But reality soon slapped Wang Zhuangfei in the face.

The signalman reported: Niwatun Village in the south of the forest was looted by the Japanese. All the food and property in the village were robbed by the Japanese. Fortunately, the Japanese did not kill the villagers.

"The Japs must be short of food and water, otherwise they wouldn't have ventured out of the forest."

Thinking of this, Wang Zhuangfei strengthened the patrols on all the small roads and also dealt with the second company commander who was responsible for the defense of that area.

Wang Zhuangfei also left garrisons in villages outside the forest to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The entire forest was surrounded like an iron barrel, and it was only a matter of time before the more than 200 Japanese devils in the forest were wiped out.
