Devil's Army

The Japanese squadron leader led more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops to retreat to Lulong County at full speed.

When they arrived at the Luan River, the water level in this section of the river was not deep, with the deepest point only reaching chest level.

The Japanese squadron leader ordered the soldiers to wade across the river without hesitation. As long as they passed Wushan in front, they would reach Lulong County.

This group of Japanese and puppet troops scrambled to wade across the river. Now they were being pursued closely by the enemy, and if they ran fast they could escape.

However, this time, if you run fast, you will die.

As soon as this Japanese and puppet troops reached the center of the river, they heard fierce gunfire and the whistling of mortar shells flying over from the opposite side.

At this time, the Japanese squadron leader was caught in a dilemma with the enemy blocking his way in front and the enemy chasing him from behind. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge forward.

At this time, the second regiment commander led the soldiers of the second and third battalions to the west bank of the Luan River and fired fiercely at the Japanese puppet troops from behind.

Finally, the Japanese squadron leader and more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops were all killed in the Luan River under the pincer attack from one battalion of the Sixth Brigade and two battalions of the Seventh Brigade.

At that time, the water of Luan River also turned into a beautiful blood red.

Due to a combat mission, the Second Regiment Commander greeted the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade across the Luan River, and then led the soldiers back to Changli County.

A battalion commander and his soldiers were searching for Japanese and puppet troops and traitors in the county, while helping to clean up Changli County after the war.

The commander of the second regiment left behind a battalion to help rebuild and garrison Changli County, and took the rest of the troops with the commander of the seventh brigade to continue his journey to Funing County.

What made the commander of the Seventh Brigade laugh and cry was that their vanguard troops actually took advantage of the situation on the way to Funing County and wiped out a small group of Japanese and puppet troops.

"Brigade Commander, it seems that the Third Regiment Commander and his men have recaptured Funing County."

The commander of the Seventh Brigade nodded. If they had not captured Funing County, how could the defeated Japanese soldiers appear on the road?

As expected by the Second Regiment Commander and the Seventh Brigade Commander, when they arrived at Funing County, the Third Regiment had already entered Funing County and was cleaning up the battlefield.

The commander of the Seventh Brigade entered Funing County, and the commander of the Third Regiment immediately reported the situation of the battle to him.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the first battalion of the third regiment was ordered to launch an attack on Funing County. They encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army and the puppet security team. However, they still successfully approached the village gate of Funing County.

At this time, the gate of Funing County suddenly opened, and their battalion of soldiers took the opportunity to rush into Funing County.

"Oh? The North China Front Army sent people to lurk in Funing County to provide support?"

"No. They said they were from the Eighth Route Army's armed work team. They were on a reconnaissance mission in Funing County, and happened to encounter us attacking the city. They attacked the pseudo-security team at the city gate, and then opened the gate to let us in."

"I heard Commander He talk about the Eighth Route Army giving them great help in the defense of the Tangshan base. How many of them came? Where are they now?"

"There are only five of them. There are still two left in the regiment infirmary."

"Let's go and see them."

The commander of the Seventh Brigade and the commander of the Third Regiment arrived at the Third Regiment's infirmary. The two armed work team members had their wounds treated and were lying on the bed to rest.

"Captain He, this is our Seventh Brigade Commander, he's here to visit you."

Captain He tried to stand up and salute the Seventh Brigade Commander. The Seventh Brigade Commander took two steps at a time and stepped forward to stop Captain He and said:

"Lie down and don't move, or the wound will burst again."

Captain He smiled helplessly.

"Why did you appear in Funing County?"

"It's pure coincidence. A few days ago, the Japanese invaders from Funing County harmed the nearby Gongjia Village. We came here to scout the area and look for an opportunity to take revenge. We happened to encounter your attack on Funing County, so we helped you."

"We have avenged you. Have a good rest and get well before continuing to fight the devils."

After saying this, the Seventh Brigade Commander turned and left the infirmary.

"Were there heavy casualties among the troops?"

"There were only about 200 Japanese troops and puppet security forces in Funing County, and with the armed work team as internal support, the siege went relatively smoothly, and the casualties were not great."

"After we clean up Funing County, leave one company to garrison there. The rest of the troops will follow me to Xiaoguanzhuang Airport tomorrow. Commander-in-Chief He and the deputy commander have already arrived at Xiaoguanzhuang Airport."

"Yes!"

At six o'clock the next morning, the troops had gathered outside the headquarters, waiting for orders from the commander of the 7th Brigade.

"Stand at attention! Comrades, the land route between our new and old bases has been opened. We are now going to Xiaoguanzhuang Airport to join forces with the North China Front Army. Listen to my orders: turn left and march in step!"

Everyone was very excited that the two fronts from the new and old bases could finally join forces in victory.

After a long journey of nearly six hours, the 7th Brigade finally arrived at Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

Gray Wolf and Commander He, along with the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport guard troops, were already waiting eagerly outside the Xiaoguanzhuang Airport.

"Deputy Commander, hello, Commander-in-Chief He!" Red Wolf stepped forward and saluted.

"Hello! Welcome to your new home!" Gray Wolf said to the soldiers of the Seventh Brigade after returning the greeting to Red Wolf.

After more than a week of fighting, the land route between the two bases was finally opened, and the two fronts successfully joined forces.

The soldiers from the 7th Brigade and the soldiers from the 6th Brigade hugged each other happily.
