Devil's Army

At around five in the morning of the seventh day, Leng Feng was awakened by two not-so-loud mine explosions outside the forest, "boom, boom."

Leng Feng's first reaction was that the Japanese were attacking, so he blew the emergency assembly whistle.

Soon, more than 900 people from the three battalions gathered in front of the playground.

Leng Feng brought the captains and deputy captains of each brigade and the captain and deputy captain of the squadron to the reception room quickly.

"The Japanese planned for a week before launching a surprise attack on us. It is conceivable that there will be a lot of Japanese troops coming this time. Our next idea is to destroy as many of the Japanese's living forces as possible, and the puppet troops can be put aside for the time being. Once the Japanese are destroyed, the puppet troops will not be a big deal."

"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.

"Let me arrange the deployment for this battle: Independent Battalion, you are familiar with the terrain, disperse in the forest and resist layer by layer to eliminate the enemy's manpower. Don't fight the enemy head-on, but focus on attacking and harassing. Finally, lead the enemy to this pass."

"Yes," Captain Baron stood up and responded.

"First Battalion!"

"Here," Gray Wolf stood up and responded.

"Your team will guard the two passes. Your team's mission is the most difficult. Your success or failure is related to whether the entire tribe can withstand this attack by the devils."

"Our team is guaranteed to complete the mission!" Gray Wolf responded in a resounding voice.

"Your team can go in front of the mountain pass..."

"Are you clear about everything?" Leng Feng asked finally.

"Clear!"

"Action!" Leng Feng gave the order without saying much.

"Captain Leng, what can I do?" Leader Miao walked in and asked after seeing Leng Feng and the others finish the meeting.

"Assistant Miao, this will be a big, fierce battle, and casualties among the soldiers are inevitable. Mobilize the young and strong men in the tribe to carry the wounded to the infirmary, and mobilize some women to help. Dean Yuan and the others will definitely be too busy to handle it."

"Okay, leave this matter to me, don't worry." After saying that, Leader Miao blew the assembly horn in the tribe.

Leng Feng's troops set out one after another, with the third battalion stationed at the entrance of the tribal village, and also serving as a reserve force, ready to rush to the mountain pass to reinforce the first battalion at any time.

The tribesmen in the tribe heard the horn and gradually gathered in the playground.

Miao Xieling told everyone about the current situation and what they were required to do. All the tribesmen who were able to move quickly cut bamboo and found wooden planks to make stretchers, ready to carry the person. The women went directly to the infirmary to help.

Yuan Wanting gathered everyone at the entrance of the infirmary before the battle even started, and explained to them some things to pay attention to when treating the wounded. She also called a few women to bring some pots and firewood from home to boil water and disinfect the bandages.

The first brigade soon arrived at the jungle near the outskirts of the forest. Outside, it was all yellow, full of Japanese soldiers. One could tell at a glance that there were quite a few of them.

It turned out that the Japanese had brought two battalions and one battalion of puppet troops, totaling more than 4,000 people, to attack the Oroqen tribe in the early morning and break through the natural barrier of the pass. Who knew that they stepped on a booby trap set by foxes and wolves on the outskirts of the forest. The first truck was overturned on the spot, and more than 20 people were killed or injured on the spot.

Major Honkawa cursed and ordered his men to carry the wounded away. Since a sneak attack was no longer possible, he could only attack by force. He commanded his troops to press forward.

Seeing that a large number of Japanese troops were searching towards them in a dark mass, Barun gestured to his troops to retreat, disperse, and look for opportunities to fight.

"Bang" Barun took the lead and fired a shot at a Japanese soldier in front of the trap.

The Japanese soldier fell to the ground. The rest of the Japanese soldiers pointed at the place where Baron fired the gun and shouted. A large group of them rushed forward and tried to surround Baron and his men.

Suddenly, with a "boom", the first few Japanese soldiers fell into a big trap. The other few Japanese soldiers following closely behind were so scared that they stood there, but were pushed into the trap by the Japanese soldiers who squeezed in from behind.

The Japanese soldiers who had regained their footing gathered around and took a look, gasping for air. The dozen or so Japanese soldiers in the trap were pierced by the sharpened bamboo sticks. Several of them were pierced in the hands and legs, but those who were not dead were screaming in pain.

The Japanese soldiers tried frantically to pull out the remaining soldiers in the trap.

At this time, several more gunshots were heard. The Japanese soldiers who tried to pull the Japanese soldiers out of the trap also fell headfirst into the trap. The injured Japanese soldier in the trap fell back down and was stabbed by the bamboo again, screaming in pain.

The Japanese bypassed the trap and chased after Baron and his team. Baron and his team immediately retreated to another trap.

The Japanese squad leader led his fellow soldiers in pursuit, shooting, while reminding everyone to watch their step.

Baron and several other team members suddenly stopped retreating and hid behind some trees to shoot at the Japanese. This Type 38 rifle was probably much better than their muskets and bows and arrows. They were not satisfied with the training ground, so they wanted to have a go at it with the Japanese.

At this time, a Japanese soldier behind them pointed at the heads of the Japanese soldiers who were shooting at Baron and shouted.

The Japanese squad leader lying on the ground turned his head to look upwards, but before he could shout, a large bamboo frame with sharp bamboos stuck upside down and stones tied to it fell towards them quickly.

Blood spurted out everywhere at once, and the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and shooting at them struggled for a while and then fell silent.

The attacks of the Japanese from other directions were also not going well. The soldiers of the Oroqen Independent Battalion led the Japanese into traps.

Seeing no progress for a long time, Major Honkawa had to temporarily withdraw the attacking troops to the outskirts of the forest.

After the Japanese retreated, Major Honkawa looked very unhappy. Before the real battle, his two squads were completely defeated.
