Devil's Army

Gray Wolf was also wearing the uniform of a major, the same rank as the Shanhaiguan captain. So he walked out of the barracks and asked the captain in a dignified manner:

"What's the matter?"

"What do you do?" the captain asked Gray Wolf.

"We are going to Peking to carry out a special mission. What do you want?"

"Our command center and police station were attacked by unknown armed forces just now." The captain asked, staring at Gray Wolf.

"Do you suspect we did it?" Gray Wolf asked back.

The captain said nothing and continued to stare at the gray wolf.

"Assemble the troops!" Gray Wolf ordered the squadron leader standing next to him.

"Hualala..." The special forces members quickly lined up in front of the gray wolf.

"Can we see your guns?" asked the captain.

"Sure!" Gray Wolf knew that the Japs wanted to smell whether there was any smell of gunpowder from the muzzles of their guns.

The captain waved his hand, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers immediately walked into the special forces team's ranks and checked their guns.

But what disappointed the captain was that none of the guns in the hands of the 150 soldiers had the smell of gunpowder. It was obvious that the soldiers who had just fought with them were not these soldiers.

"Sorry to bother you." The captain apologized to Gray Wolf and left with the soldiers.

It was already daybreak, and the captain ordered the puppet army and puppet police to search for the unidentified armed forces with whom they had just fought.

At this time, Teacher Ye came to Gray Wolf’s barracks with a guide who was familiar with the nearby mountain roads.

Gray Wolf was afraid of any accidents, so he left the squadron leader in the barracks to deal with the situation, and he took a small team with the guide to explore the way.

At first, the path was wide enough for two people to walk side by side, but cars were not allowed to pass. As we went up the mountain, fewer people walked on it, and the path became more desolate, with grass completely covering the path.

When Gray Wolf and his companions reached the back, the path was completely covered by grass. Fortunately, the guide was familiar with the mountain conditions in this area, so Gray Wolf and his companions did not get lost in the mountains.

Gray Wolf and his men did not return to the Shanhaiguan barracks until the evening.

The squadron leader handed the dinner to Gray Wolf and asked:

"Captain, how are you? Are you going well?"

"It's impossible to pass easily, but the troops can barely pass through. But there is no way for the baggage to pass through."

"Will our country officially go to war with the devils in Peking in a few months as you said?"

"Yes, in Wanping District, Beiping." Gray Wolf replied indistinctly while eating dinner.

"If we can't get the baggage through Shanhaiguan, are we still going to support the Nationalist Army in Peking?"

"Go!" Gray Wolf put down his chopsticks and said affirmatively, "This is our national war against the Japanese invaders!"

The squadron leader nodded solemnly. The Nanjing government saw that the Japanese would only retreat step by step, and they would formally fight against the Japanese in a few months.

The next morning, Gray Wolf led everyone out of Shanhaiguan and arrived at Qinhuangdao along a small path over mountains and hills.

Gray Wolf came to Qinhuangdao once when rescuing the Rhine freighter that year.

Because it was a time of war, it was impossible for the troops to pass through Qinhuangdao openly, so the Gray Wolf did not enter Qinhuangdao, and focused on exploring a small path that could bypass Qinhuangdao to Beijing.

Gray Wolf brought everyone to the outskirts of Beiyingzi Village in Qinhuangdao.

The sharp-eyed villagers saw a group of Japanese invaders coming and ran back to the village to report the news. Beiyingzi Village was suddenly in chaos.

Gray Wolf stopped his troops outside the village for fear of disturbing the people. He and the squadron leader led two special forces members into the village.

The village chief was an old man in his 60s. He was supported by a young man and tremblingly walked towards Gray Wolf and asked Gray Wolf:

"What business does Taijun have in our village?"

Gray Wolf didn't dare to reveal his identity, so he had to politely invite the old village chief and the young man to their base outside the village.

The young man was the grandson of the old village chief. Although he was very scared when he saw the Japanese soldiers with guns, he still gritted his teeth and supported the old village chief to the garrison outside the city.

Many villagers opened the door a crack and quietly watched from behind the door as the gray wolf and his companions took away the old village chief and his grandson.

When they arrived at the garrison, Gray Wolf politely asked the old village chief to sit down, revealed his identity to him, and asked him to introduce a guide to take them to explore a path that could pass through Qinhuangdao and reach Peking.

They were all wild kids in the mountains, so who didn't know the paths in the mountains? In order to prevent the identity of Gray Wolf and his team from being exposed, the old village chief directly asked his grandson to take Gray Wolf and his team to explore and find a path that could cross Qinhuangdao.

The squadron leader led a small team and the old village chief's grandson up the mountain.

Gray Wolf invited the old village chief to stay in the camp. The villagers began to worry when they saw that the old village chief and his grandson had not returned after such a long time.

Some timid villagers began to pack up their things and fled to the mountains behind the village.

Some brave villagers lay at the entrance of the village and looked at the gray wolf and his companions.

What surprised them was that in the past, when the Japanese invaders came to raid the village, they would rush into the village and search every house as soon as they arrived at the entrance. But this group of Japanese invaders stayed outside the village and did not enter.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the villagers who had fled to the mountains behind the village returned to the village one after another.

At this time, dense gunfire was heard at the entrance of the village. Several villagers who were looking out at the entrance were frightened and quickly ran back.
