Devil's Army

Captain Li threw himself to the right side of the path while shouting. A bullet shot past where he had just stood.

At the same time, a burst of bullets was fired at the members of the Third Squadron from nearby, but the shooting soon stopped.

Captain Li did not let the fallen team members fight back. Because the second brigade commander said that Daxing County had been recaptured by them, and now the enemy was using Japanese weapons, and it was unlikely that the enemy was the Japanese army. There could only be one answer, the enemy was also the first anti-Japanese army.

At this moment, a shout came from the woods on both sides of the opposite path:

"Where are you from?"

"Are you from the Second Brigade of the First Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War?" Captain Li shouted towards the woods on both sides of the path.

Several soldiers wearing the uniforms of the First Army came out from the woods on both sides of the path after hearing Captain Li's call. One of the officers, a captain, shouted to Captain Li:

"I am Hu Fusheng, the company commander of the first company of the first battalion of the second regiment of the second brigade of the First Anti-Japanese Army. I was too reckless just now. Please forgive me, brothers."

Captain Li also stood up, brushed off the dirt on his body and said with a smile:

"We are Li Jingxun, the captain of the third squadron of the special operations battalion of the First Northeast Anti-Japanese Army."

"Hello, sir. I guessed that you are from the special forces when I heard you shouting. You are the only ones who often wear the Japanese military uniforms to perform missions." The company commander came over and saluted Captain Li.

"You almost took my life." Captain Li said to the company commander with a smile.

"I heard from the scouts that there were nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers coming, so I led them to set up an ambush here. When I was shooting, I vaguely heard someone shouting 'get out of the way', so I quickly stopped them, otherwise it would have been a big mistake."

"This set of ghost skin is definitely more useful than our military uniform in the Japanese-occupied area. I still have a mission to accomplish, so I won't nag you anymore. Let's go." After saying that, Captain Li led his team members to continue heading towards the Jinpu Line.

When the Third Squadron was marching to Dongyang Village outside Gu'an County, they heard a series of rapid-fire bursts of Type 38 rifle fire.

It turned out that after arriving in Tianjin, Terauchi Juichi issued an order to clear out the Chinese garrison outside Baoding. The Japanese First Army entered the Yixian and Baxian areas.

Subsequently, Kenji Doihara's 35th Division, with the support of 40 aircraft and tanks, forced a crossing of the three ferry crossings of Dongyang Village, Xiyu Village, and Xinwu Village, and attacked the rd Army's defense line.

What Captain Li heard was the sound of gunfire from the next squadron of Kenji Doihara's 14th Division attacking Dongyang Village.

Captain Li immediately reported the situation to the Second Brigade Commander, and at the same time watched the movements of the Japanese in this squadron from the dark.

At that time, the villagers of Dongyang Village had already received the news and most of them had already moved away in advance. The Japanese only captured Li Lianru and his wife and six others, and took them to a large pit in the west of the village and shot them all.

The second team leader whispered to Captain Li: "Captain, shall we start?"

Captain Li shook his head solemnly and said:

"This squadron of devils cannot be dealt with in a short time. We still have a mission to accomplish. Let's not make things more complicated."

After shooting Li Lianru and his wife and six other civilians, the Japanese looted the village, stole all the poultry and livestock, and then left.

After the Japanese left, Captain Li led the members of the third squadron to Dongyang Village.

The doors of most of the houses in the village were kicked in by the Japanese, and the houses were in a mess.

Captain Li ordered his team members to bury the six victims and then move on.

The Third Squadron left Dongyang Village and walked along a small path for a short distance when they saw a Japanese truck coming towards them.

Captain Li stopped the Japanese car and found out that it was a signalman who was going to convey orders to the Japanese squadron that had just left. For some reason, the Japanese radio station of that squadron could not be connected.

Captain Li asked them for help: "We are from the First Mixed Brigade of the Garrison Army. May I ask where this is?"

"This is the outskirts of Gu'an County in China. Your 1st Mixed Brigade of the Garrison Army is in the Jinghai County area. Why are you here?"

"We were chasing a Chinese army all the way to Tongzhou, but were ambushed by the Chinese army. Our radio station was also damaged, so we had no way to call for reinforcements. We had to retreat northward. Do you have any food and ammunition?"

"We are just driving to inform Captain Kurashima of the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Regiment of the latest mission. We did not bring any food or ammunition. Go to Yongqing County and walk about ten miles towards Tianjin. There is a small supply warehouse of our 14th Division."

"Thank you very much!" Captain Li bowed and expressed his gratitude.

The Japanese signalman was flattered and quickly bowed in return.

Captain Li took advantage of the Japanese signalman bowing and stabbed him in the chest.

A special forces soldier pulled open the door of the truck. Before the Japanese driver in the cab of the truck could react, he was pulled to the ground by the special forces soldier and his throat and carotid artery were cut with a knife.

Captain Li asked four team members to dispose of the body and then told all the team members to get in the car and drive towards Yongqing County.
