A more masculine work of war than "Bright Sword": Dog Army

The Japanese spared no effort to find interpreters and "collaborators" in the Milang area. During a large-scale raid on Milang county town, the Japanese captured the deputy county magistrate of Milang, who under inducement and coercion became the first "collaborator" in the history of Milang Mountain. However, the repeated actions of the Japanese were thwarted, leading to a brutal punishment operation against the "fake collaborators" carried out in front of hundreds of Milang villagers. Three different forces, all belonging to the Chinese nation, united against the foreign invaders as three streams of blood merged into one, and three machine guns became one, firing the first bullet towards the enemy!

Dog Army Part One

The atmosphere before a battle is always so oppressive and tense.

The surrounding mountains are still, without a breeze; the sun had long since set, and the afterglow of the sunset was splashed like blood over Wufeng Ridge, which had been bombarded countless times and lay cracked like an old oxhide before Shen Mange's eyes. Though it was early spring, there was not a speck of green on the entire ridge. The poplar trees and shrubs that were still there last autumn had all turned to ashes in a winter of bombardment. All that remained was scorched blackness, everywhere was scorched blackness. The dense craters and trenches made Wufeng Ridge look riddled with holes, heart-wrenching. The air smelled only of scorched and bloody odor, nothing else.

Dog Army Part Two

On this day, visitors to Plum Garden suddenly discovered that the huge portrait of Commander Tu hanging on the main wall of the command center was gone. That photo had accompanied them for over a decade, replaced now by a stern military portrait of Chairman Chiang. The two calligraphy paintings originally hung beside Commander Tu's portrait were also changed. Originally, Commander Tu wrote: "Miliang autonomy, merit for thousands of generations." Now hanging there were Sun Yat-sen's "For the public good" and the Chairman's "Intimate sincerity." Although this change was subtle, it caused quite a stir among the officers of the 11th Group Army who were accustomed to looking at Commander Tu's portrait while listening to his speeches. The young commander had only been in Miliang City for over a month, yet he managed to remove Commander Tu's image. So...

Dog Army Part Three

Close combat plus fierce fighting, both sides engaged in a slaughter at the Japanese campsite. The six companies sent out proved worthy, taking advantage of the Japanese soldiers being half-asleep and not fully awake, they pushed forward several hundred meters, leaving Japanese corpses scattered everywhere. Soldiers from the 72nd Regiment also suffered casualties, but overall, it was a very satisfying ambush. It wasn't until 3 a.m. that the warriors from the six companies returned victorious.
