Devil's Army

Chapter 1170: The Guards Turn to the Light

When Captain Guo heard about the mission, he immediately asked:

"Deputy Commander Zhang, if you have any mission, just tell me. I, Guo Yimin, will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"I don't want you to jump into the hot water, nor do I want you to walk through the fire. Eat first, and we can talk while we eat."

Deputy Commander Zhang invited Captain Guo to dinner privately.

During the meal, Deputy Commander Zhang said to Captain Guo:

"Our Tangshan base and the Oroqen tribe base fought a large-scale counter-encirclement campaign against the Japanese army. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. All the troops were in short supply of grassroots commanders, especially senior commanders above the battalion and regiment level."

Deputy Commander Zhang picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Captain Guo, then continued:

"You graduated from the Northeast Army Military Academy, and you are quite good at fighting. The Fifth Brigade Commander thinks highly of you."

"That's the commander's kindness to me. Deputy Commander, please let me know if you have any mission."

"Oh, you're quite anxious. Of the surrounding counties connected to the Second Front Army's base in the north, the only one left to be captured is Suizhong County. The Fifth Brigade is preparing to capture it in the next few days."

"This is easy. We can once again enter Suizhong County as the Royal Consolation Group of the Puppet Manchukuo, and take over Suizhong County with the help of both inside and outside forces."

"Great minds think alike. The Fifth Brigade Commander has the same idea. But you can't ignore what happens next."

"The deputy commander is talking about the problem of our family members, right?"

"Yes, if you guys turn to the light, won't the devils in Xinjing start attacking your family members?"

When the topic of his wife and children was mentioned, Captain Guo immediately fell silent.

When he and Captain Wang changed their flags and joined the puppet army, it was the lowest point in his life. It was always his wife who silently encouraged and supported him from behind and told him not to do anything that would harm the world.

Deputy Commander Zhang also saw the deep affection that Captain Guo had for his wife and suggested:

"It doesn't matter if we attack Suizhong County a few days earlier or later. We can transfer your family members out first."

When Captain Guo heard this, his eyes lit up again.

"Give me a list of the names of the family members who need to be relocated and their addresses. We just happen to have a female special forces team here. It will be more convenient to let women do these things."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"Don't worry about it, let's eat first. One more thing, do all the officers and soldiers under your command agree to join our First Anti-Japanese Army?"

"They are all my brothers who have been through thick and thin with me. I treat them well, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"We still need to clarify this issue. There can be no ambiguity. We welcome those who agree to join our First Anti-Japanese Army. Don't force those who don't agree to join. We will give them travel expenses and let them go back."

"After I write down the list and address, I will rush back to Qinglong County to discuss with my old subordinates. If possible, please ask the deputy commander to arrange a car for me."

"That's not a problem."

"One more thing, Gege will temporarily live here."

"I think she's having a great time!" After saying that, both of them burst into laughter.

After dinner, Captain Guo gave Deputy Army Commander Zhang the names and addresses of the families who needed to be relocated, and then took several team leaders to Qinglong County in the truck provided by Deputy Army Commander Zhang.

He brought the troops from the Northeast, and most of the families of his officers and soldiers were not in Xinjing.

Captain Wang wanted to control him, so he kept him and the families of several key team leaders in Xinjing.

When he returned to Qinglong County, his officers and soldiers were very happy to see him. They thought Captain Guo had been executed by the devil's army.

Captain Guo repeated to his subordinate officers and soldiers what he had seen and heard in the Oroqen tribe, and told them that he planned to abandon darkness and join the First Anti-Japanese Army, and asked them if they had any ideas.

The result was just as Captain Guo had expected, and they all supported Captain Guo's decision.

They were all Northeastern dudes who peed while standing, and none of them wanted to be humiliated by the Japanese. But the team leaders raised the issue of their families.

Captain Guo patted them on the shoulders and said:

"Don't worry, Deputy Commander Zhang has already considered this issue and is preparing to transfer our families out first, and then we can turn from darkness to light."

"Captain, there's nothing to worry about. We'll do it whenever you say!" said a small team leader, rubbing his hands.

"Okay, Gege, we are still living in the Oroqen Village. After we transfer our families out, we will enter Suizhong County as a delegation from the puppet Manchukuo, and then cooperate with the First Anti-Japanese Army to capture Suizhong County."

Everyone had no objection to Captain Guo's arrangement.
