Devil's Army

At noon on the second day after Captain Yin returned to Xiaoguanzhuang Airport, the first batch of post-war supplies arranged by Leng Feng for the First Army's Tangshan base also arrived at Tangxia Village.

Since the first army's four warships were still under repair in Hulu Port Dockyard, the transport capacity was limited. This time, 2000 new soldiers and a group of anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery were transported. Leng Feng also transported 300 special forces selected and trained by the Jackal.

Wu Lang directly assigned these 2000 new recruits to the Second Brigade and the 11th Brigade, and transferred 300 new special operations team members to Jixian County to join the First, Second and Third Squadrons of the Special Operations Team, which had always been short of staff and not fully organized.

The anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery soldiers that were transported here, together with the surviving anti-aircraft artillery veterans from Xiaoguanzhuang Airport, formed two new anti-aircraft artillery companies and were stationed at Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

In Xiaoguanzhuang, the airport restoration work has been going on in an orderly manner. Although it is not yet usable, it has shown some initial signs of improvement. There are no more potholes and broken bricks and tiles everywhere.

Wu Lang was worried that the Japanese army would regroup to attack the Tangshan base. Although there were golden eagles scouting all around, they might not be able to send reinforcements in time. So he ordered the commander of the Sixth Brigade, Liu Yaohua, to withdraw his troops and deploy the Sixth Brigade in Zunhua County, Fengnan County and Luan County on the three sides of Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

Sanchakou, Bailonggang Bridge, Panshan position, Huangyaguan Great Wall position and Fengrun County were garrisoned by the Fifth Brigade transferred from Tangxia Village.

The security of Ji County is the responsibility of the Fourth and Fifth Squadrons of the Special Operations Team.

At this time, except for Qianxi County in the north and Qian'an County in the northeast, Tangshan's Xiaoguanzhuang Airport was in the hands of the Japanese army. The rest of the airport was firmly controlled by the First Anti-Japanese Army. It was not so easy for the Japanese army to occupy Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

Gray Wolf planned to wait for some time until the veterans and new recruits from the first, second, and third squadrons of the special forces team had gotten used to each other, and then take them to capture Qianxi County and Qian'an County.

The busiest group in the entire Tangshan base was Miao Nana's anti-Japanese performance troupe.

Since the war had just ended, the First Anti-Japanese Army in the North China battlefield urgently needed to restore its troops.

Every day, Miao Nana led the anti-Japanese drama troupe to perform in various counties and towns to recruit new soldiers for the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Zunhua County, Fengnan County and Luan County had just been recovered from the Japanese army's iron hoof. The people's anti-Japanese sentiment was the most urgent, and it was also the easiest to recruit new soldiers.

Miao Nana's anti-Japanese drama troupe has been performing in these three counties these days. However, since these three counties have just been recovered, the danger is greater than that of other counties.

On this day, Miao Nana's sister Qiuyue and a female team member were singing the sad "On the Songhua River" in an empty space in Zunhua County.

Everyone was immersed in the sorrow of losing their homes and becoming homeless, and the hatred towards the Japanese invaders was also growing.

Captain Chen of the Third Squadron suddenly noticed that two of the onlookers looked a little strange, so he kept staring at them.

Suddenly, Captain Chen saw them drawing their guns, and immediately rushed forward and knocked Qiuyue and the female team member down.

Two gunshots followed, and two bullets flew past where Qiuyue and the others had just stood.

When the people in the open space heard the gunshots, they immediately ran in all directions.

The two shooters tried to escape by blending in with the civilians, but the special forces had already spotted them.

After a while, four special forces soldiers escorted the two shooters from the crowd to Captain Chen.

Shortly after the performance began today, Captain Chen ordered his team members to tie the two men aside while the anti-Japanese drama troupe continued the performance.

When the people saw that the situation was under control and nothing happened, they gathered around and continued to watch the performance.

As the performance continued, ordinary people began to sign up to join the army at the conscription office next to the troupe.

Captain Chen and four special forces members took the two shooters to two houses a little further away for interrogation.

At first, the two men kept saying that they were just ordinary people. When the special forces took out the guns they had searched from them, they still insisted that the world was unsafe and they only took the guns for self-defense.

The team members were already very familiar with interrogating the spies, and soon the man in the second room confessed.

They were spies from the Beijing Special High Technology Bureau, who came to scout the defense situation of the First Army in Zunhua County.

The man in the first house had his hands and feet bruised by the special forces, but he still refused to confess.

Captain Chen didn't waste time talking to him and ended his life with a dagger. In the evening, Miao Nana's anti-Japanese drama troupe returned to Jixian with the newly recruited soldiers.

After hearing Captain Chen's report, Wu Lang immediately called Liu Yaohua of the Sixth Brigade, telling him that the Japanese army was still intent on targeting the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport and asked him to step up vigilance.

If the Japanese army wants to attack Xiaoguanzhuang Airport again, they must gather enough planes.

He asked the signalmen to send telegrams to the intelligence stations in Peking and Tianjin, asking them to closely monitor the movements of Peking Nanyuan Airport and Tianjin Dongjuzi Airport.
