Devil's Army

A Japanese lieutenant came over, pointed at the stretcher and asked:

"Where are you from? Where did you get this rack?"

"Lieutenant, I was injured during the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese army. Is there a problem with them making this rack to carry me?" Captain Chen was also wearing a lieutenant's clothes, so he asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

The two girls had never seen such a scene before and were trembling with fear.

The lieutenant pointed at the two girls and asked:

"If you are not imperial soldiers, then who are you?"

The two girls didn't understand Japanese and could only shake their heads.

Captain Chen looked at the black muzzles of guns pointed at them and closed his eyes helplessly. He tried desperately to bring out the remaining spark of the Second Squadron, but ultimately failed.

Who knew that at this moment, the Japanese lieutenant suddenly asked Captain Chen in fluent Chinese:

"You are not the devil's troops, who are you?"

Captain Chen immediately opened his eyes and replied:

"We are the Second Squadron of the First Battalion of the First Special Operations Team of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army."

"Who is your captain? What are you doing in Tangxia Village?"

"Is this Tangxia Village?" Captain Chen shouted excitedly.

But the lieutenant did not respond and continued to stare at him coldly.

"Our captain is Tan Hanbo, nicknamed Gray Wolf. We came here with the Second Brigade Commander He Qingwu. We had a battle with the Japanese on the way and covered the Second Brigade's First and Second Regiments. That's why we are here only now." Captain Chen answered calmly. He had already guessed who the other party was.

After hearing what Captain Chen said, the Japanese lieutenant hurriedly told the soldiers to put down their guns. He stepped forward, shook Captain Chen's hand and said:

"Hello! I am He Gangyi, the company commander of the 1st Company of the Special Service Battalion of the 11th Brigade of the First Anti-Japanese Army of the Northeast!"

"Why are you dressed like this?" Captain Chen asked Captain He.

"Aren't you dressed like this too?" After saying that, everyone smiled knowingly.

"Have the Second Brigade Commander and his men arrived?"

"They arrived early. I'll take you to the infirmary first and arrange accommodation for them. I'll report your arrival to Brigade Commander He later." After saying that, Company Commander He and a soldier took Captain Chen and the others into Tangxia Village.

A while after Captain Chen entered the infirmary, Wu Lang came to see him.

Wu Lang had heard from Captain He that Captain Chen had brought 36 members of the Second Squadron of the Special Operations Team to Tangxia Village. He knew that they must have fought a fierce battle with the Japanese. Wu Lang didn't say anything else, but told Captain Chen to take good care of his injuries. He would ask the headquarters to assign him new soldiers as soon as possible and strive to rebuild the Second Squadron as soon as possible.

Captain Chen nodded and asked Wulang:

"The 11th Brigade is coming. Do we have two brigades of troops near Peking now?"

"Our warships have limited transport capacity. This time, only the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 11th Brigade and the 1st Company of the Special Forces Battalion came, a total of about 6,000 people."

Wu Lang talked with Captain Chen for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Due to the intervention of the First Anti-Japanese Army, the Japanese invasion of China was delayed for several days. However, according to the Japanese intelligence collected in the past few days, the Japanese will prepare to occupy Nankou and Zhangjiakou. Wulang must make preparations to attack the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade 11 to support the Zhangjiakou Anti-Japanese War.

Before leaving, Captain Chen asked Wulang for help. The older girl among the two girls he rescued had worked as a nurse in Tianjin Church Hospital. Their parents had been killed by the Japanese. He asked Wulang if he could keep her in the army as a nurse.

Wu Lang readily agreed. There was a severe shortage of medical staff at the moment. Of course, it was a great pleasure for experienced medical staff like them to stay.

At this time, the curtain of Captain Chen's ward was pushed open, and Xiaoyun came in with a plate and said to Captain Chen:

"Captain, your wound needs to be disinfected and rebandaged."

"Xiao Yun, are you staying here to be a nurse? Where's your sister?"

"She followed me and learned nursing." Xiaoyun replied softly with a smile.

"Okay, you don't need my help with this." Wu Lang stood up with a smile, clapped his hands and left.

Wu Lang returned to the brigade headquarters and discussed with Brigade Commander Du: At present, the Japanese have concentrated more than 100,000 people in North China. With the small number of people in Tangxia Village and the weak fortifications, it will definitely be difficult to defend. The best defense is to disguise and let the Japanese think they are their own people.

So what excuse could be used to stop the Japanese defenders in Tangshan from searching their own territory?

Wu Lang thought of the Japanese's 731st Unit and immediately drew a sketch of a chemical protective suit and asked Brigade Commander Du to find someone to sew it.

With the props, the next step was to find someone. To pretend to be a Japanese soldier, we had to find someone who could speak Japanese. The first company of the special forces battalion had only the company commander, a student soldier from Peking, who could speak Japanese, and it would be easy to be exposed during the confrontation.

Wu Lang thought of the soldiers from the second squadron of the special forces that Captain Chen brought back. They basically all spoke Japanese and often pretended to be Japanese soldiers to carry out missions. When they pretended to be Japanese soldiers, even the real Japanese soldiers couldn't tell them apart.

He asked someone to call the second squad leader to the brigade headquarters.

The second squad leader quickly ran to the brigade headquarters. As soon as he arrived, he asked Wu Lang:

"Second Brigade Commander, do you have a mission?"

"Why? You can't sit still after just one day's rest?" Wu Lang asked with a smile.

"Now that we are on the front line, all we think about every day is how to kill the devils, and we never think about how to rest."

Wu Lang nodded and told the second team leader the mission.

The team leader thought about it and agreed to it, although this mission did not allow him to kill the Japanese personally, it was related to the logistical support of the entire army.

Who knew that it was the special forces of Team 2 that saved Tangxia Village from disaster.
