Devil's Army

The Canglang Special Forces, which was fighting against Leng Feng, won a great victory. The seized weapons, ammunition, military uniforms and Japanese rations filled the playground.

The Miao leader specially cleared out a large house in the tribe for the troops to store the spoils.

Leng Feng and Huilang were sitting next to the bodies of their fallen teammates on the playground. The two of them were smoking one cigarette after another, and the ground was littered with cigarette butts.

Wenlang also led the second team to the tribe for a short rest. He walked over to Lengfeng and Huilang, hugged them both, and said nothing, but everything was said without words.

Miao Nana was very happy to see that they had won a great victory and captured so many guns, and she wanted to run to find Leng Feng, but was stopped by Miao Xieling.

Assistant Commander Miao waved to Miao Nana. Miao Nana saw the expressions of Leng Feng and the other three and walked away tactfully.

Although this counter-encirclement campaign was a complete victory, the Gray Wolf's First Battalion suffered heavy losses, with two-thirds of its personnel reduced. These people were brought over from Hejiazhai, and they were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles!

"In the last battle at Hejiazhai, only one squadron of Wang Zhuangfei's Fourth Battalion was left. This time, less than one squadron of your First Battalion is left. We can't outlast the Japanese, so we have to think of a way." Leng Feng said to Gray Wolf.

"Captain, how about this? I'll leave a squadron behind and incorporate it into the First Battalion. The combat mission on my side isn't that heavy. If we can't defeat the Japs, we'll just hide in the cave. It's different here. You have to guard the pass and fight the Japs head-on." Wen Lang suggested.

"Leave the squadron with the miners behind? When I went to the miasma forest in the north with Assistant Commander Miao that day, I took a look at their underground passages. They were too small. If we have time, we can expand them into an underground fortification." Leng Feng nodded and said.

"Okay, I will leave the Third Squadron and incorporate it into the First Battalion." Wen Lang replied.

Gray Wolf hugged Wen Wolf and patted him on the back. Good brother, everything is self-explanatory.

At this time, a sentry came to report that there was a man who claimed to be a communications soldier from the Fourth Battalion and wanted to see the captain for something.

"Okay, bring him over." Leng Feng said as he threw away his cigarette butt.

After a while, the sentry came over with a short and strong soldier.

"Report to the captain, our Captain Wang has received Master Li's family and is currently settling them in Hejiazhao Village. He asked whether we should send them over?" said the short and strong soldier, saluted.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll bring someone to pick them up tomorrow."

After saying that, Leng Feng turned to Gray Wolf and said, "Gray Wolf, tomorrow you will take a small team with Wen Wolf to Hejiazhao Village to pick up Master Li and the others."

"Okay," Gray Wolf nodded in response.

The next morning, Wen Lang left the third squadron and said goodbye to Leng Feng with the other team members. Hui Lang also left with a small team of 15 people.

Wang Zhuangfei, who received the news in advance, asked someone to cook two more side dishes at noon. Firstly, it was a rare opportunity to get together with Gray Wolf and Wen Wolf, and secondly, it was also a way to show his gratitude to Master Li and his family.

After lunch, Gray Wolf took Master Li and his wife and their two daughters on the road to the Oroqen tribe.

As the road was difficult to travel on and Master Li and his family had no prior training, they stopped and walked along the way and only returned to the Oroqen tribe in the evening.

Leng Feng and Miao Xieling received the news and brought Li Guozhu and Barun to the tribe gate to greet Master Li and his family in advance.

"Engineer Li, now that you are here, my arsenal has a place to stay." Leng Feng said, holding Li Zhiqiang's hand.

"I try my best and do my best," Li Zhiqiang said modestly.

"Let's go, the food is ready, let's eat and talk."

Baron asked the hunters of the independent brigade to shoot a deer and two rabbits in advance. Leng Feng also asked someone to catch a fish, so the dinner was quite rich.

Leng Feng was afraid that Li Zhiqiang's wife would feel uncomfortable, so he specially called Miao Nana to come and keep her company.

"I heard that Mr. Li studied abroad before?" Leng Feng asked.

"Yes, I studied mechanical manufacturing in France." Li Zhiqiang has a scholarly air. He is quiet and answers questions one by one. Mrs. Li is quiet and will not say anything unless you ask her a question. Their little daughter is shy and always sits close to her mother, not daring to pick up food.

The scene was a bit awkward for a while. Leng Feng shouted to the infirmary next to him: "Meilang! Meilang!"

After a while, Yuan Wanting came over and asked, "Captain, what's the matter?"

"Call Xiao Lingling over. The little sister is stage frightened and doesn't dare to eat." Leng Feng said with a smile.

"It's okay. The child rarely goes out and has never seen the world. Don't worry about her." Mrs. Li responded understandingly.

Yuan Wanting turned and left.

"Brother Leng, are you looking for me?" After a while, the little girl's voice came from outside the door.

"Yes, little bell, you sit here and eat with your little sister."

"Okay," Xiao Lingdang turned around and pulled Yuan Wanting, pushing her to sit next to Leng Feng.

Yuan Wanting refused to sit down and turned around to leave, but Xiao Lingling refused.

"The task that Brother Leng assigned to me is to accompany this little sister for dinner. Do you want to sit here and snatch the task from me? Just sit there obediently." Xiao Lingdang said seriously.

Everyone at the scene laughed.

"You come sit down too and eat together." Leng Feng called.

Yuan Wanting sat down obediently on Leng Feng's left. Miao Nana, who was sitting on Leng Feng's right, showed a hint of displeasure on her face.

Mrs. Li, who was standing next to her, was very sensitive to the subtle relationship. She put a piece of rabbit meat in Miao Nana's bowl and said, "Come on, beautiful lady, eat more meat."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li." When someone called her a great beauty, Miao Nana suddenly felt happy again.

"Is Mrs. Li not doing anything now?" Leng Feng asked Li Zhiqiang.

"Yes." Li Zhiqiang said a little guilty:

"My wife graduated from Shanghai Normal University and taught at Fengtian Middle School. She was dragged down by me and now she and the children are hiding in the countryside with me."

"No, no, Engineer Li would rather die than produce weapons for the Japanese to massacre us Chinese. Let's toast to Engineer Li's national integrity." Leng Feng said, raising a glass of kumis.

All the men at the scene raised their glasses, said "Cheers" and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mrs. Li is in education?" Leng Feng asked.

"It's not really an education. I just teach the kids at Fengtian Middle School," Mrs. Li said calmly.

"That's great. No matter how poor we are, we must not neglect education. No matter how hard it is, we must not make children suffer. I plan to open a school here. Mrs. Li's arrival is really a timely help." Leng Feng said happily.

“No matter how poor you are, you must not neglect education; no matter how hard it is, you must not make your children suffer.” Mrs. Li savored these words and couldn’t help but take another look at the cold and handsome man in front of her.

The feast lasted until around eight in the evening. Miao Nana excitedly took Mrs. Li's two daughters to the room she had prepared, while Mr. Li and his wife lived in the room next door.
