War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 137 The Crotch Must Not Be Idle
"You guys analyze this, what does Wang Feng mean?"

In the barracks, the soldiers finally had a full set of toiletries. Each person in the company was allocated a washbasin, a coarse cloth towel, a toothbrush and a bar of soap!
This is the treatment Xu Chaoyang has never had since he came to this era and started leading troops.

In addition to these, Wang Feng also picked out a pair of military boots specifically for Xu Chaoyang. They were shiny black cowhide long boots. Matching with the military uniform, Xu Chaoyang now looked very energetic.

However, this gorgeous appearance made him feel extremely uneasy. After he led his men to get the military supplies, he called Lao Yang, Chang Zhan and several platoon leaders and deputies together, and formed a small circle to discuss the matter.

This time Xu Chaoyang finally understood why our army still had a large number of soldiers who stayed with us despite the shortage of supplies. At least he felt relieved.

"Brother, why do you care so much about him? If you give us food, we eat it. If you give us supplies, we use them. If you don't take advantage of it, you're a bastard. Let's live a good life first. It's better than nothing."

Xu Chaoyang didn't even need to listen. Just by analyzing the words, he knew that it must be Qu Yong who spoke first.

Liu Gener and Yu Minghao raised their heads out of habit; they were too lazy to think about it.

Wang Tianhao, on the other hand, asked doubtfully at this time: "Captain, it's not that I have many tricks..." Ever since he cursed at the people in Tailai last time and was scolded by Lao Yang, but was suppressed by Xu Chaoyang, Wang Tianhao never quarreled with him again: "There is one thing I don't understand. This 9th Brigade is their home. Why is he looking for outsiders like us to help him in his own home?"

These words made Xu Chaoyang shudder, and everyone around him looked at Wang Tianhao!
Wang Xiao's incident left too deep an impression on these people, and no one wanted to be stabbed in the back again.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are at the 9th Brigade's base..."

Yang Jingyu felt that Wang Tianhao's words were too serious, but Xu Chaoyang stopped him and said, "We can choose not to make a fuss, but we have to be on guard."

"Chaoyang?"

Yang Jingyu and Xu Chaoyang exchanged glances. Everyone around them, except Altai, was still in shock about what had happened before!

"gather!!"

"All battalion, company, and platoon leaders, assemble in the brigade headquarters operations conference room!"

"quick!!"

beep!
beep! !

A whistle suddenly sounded in the courtyard, and Xu Chaoyang immediately looked outside.

Wang Tianhao immediately came up to Xu Chaoyang and whispered, "Captain, you have to go."

"Me?" Xu Chaoyang felt that he was an outsider and it was a bit inappropriate for him to attend the brigade's meeting.

Wang Tianhao muttered like a little think tank: "If you don't go, we will be like a bride with a veil on her head. When we enter her husband's house, we may not even know what the groom looks like. Besides, they want all the military commanders of the battalion, company, and platoon levels to gather. They didn't say anyone other than the 9th Brigade. If you really don't want to listen, just come back. So what?"

Xu Chaoyang turned around and looked at Wang Tianhao, as if the missing piece in his lineup had finally been filled!
He walked out of the barracks without saying a word, buttoning his clothes and adjusting the Northeast Army cap on his head.

When he ran to the door of the tall building in the middle of the compound, he stood together with many battalion, company and platoon leaders, which was the end of the team.

"stand at attention!"

A man Xu Chaoyang had never seen before stood in front of the group of people and gave orders. Next to him, four men with bandit-like looks stood at an angle. One of the men was one-eyed and wore an eyepatch.

"Take a break!"

The man standing at the front of the team scanned the group of people in front of him with his eyes, but when his gaze fell to the end of the team, he suddenly stopped...

"report!"

"speak!"

"This is the captain of the first company of the second battalion of the seventh regiment of the cavalry, Xu Chaoyang!"

"The unit fought its way out of Qi City, fought three battles with the Japanese army in Bingcheng, the railway station outside Bingcheng and Fuyu, and Tailai. The entire company was destroyed three times. Finally, they gathered the Oroqen warriors and were rescued by Commander Li Haidan. They are now resting in my unit!"

Wang Feng stood in front of the brigade commander and told him everything that Xu Chaoyang had told him, adding more details to it.

"Stop that!" the brigade commander yelled at the top of his lungs, "Here, those who eat and drink my food are my soldiers!"

"I don't care where you come from or where you're going, but if the 9th Brigade fights the devils... I'll ask you one question, do you, Xu, dare to kill anyone?"

This brutality and tyranny stimulated Xu Chaoyang's blood to rush to his head, and he opened his mouth and shouted directly: "Whoever is a coward is the concubine's support!"

boom!
Xu Chaoyang answered very seriously, which caused laughter from the front-line generals of the Northeast Army. But when the brigade commander glanced over, the laughter of all the people stopped.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Ah!" he roared, opening his mouth wide.

"Are you laughing at the fact that they dare to fight against the Japanese?"

"Isn't it right to fight the devils?!"

"Has it been too long since we've had good times? Now even serious things seem abnormal to you?"

"Then I'm telling you... From today on, from now on, our 9th Brigade's mission on this land is to fight the Japanese. Everyone, go inside and participate in the combat meeting!"

War meeting?

How did this become a war meeting?
Xu Chaoyang deliberately waited until the last to enter the house. When he passed by Wang Feng, Wang Feng whispered in Xu Chaoyang's ear: "Dao Wenbin, we're here."

These words instantly opened up Xu Chaoyang's Ren and Du meridians. So this is what was going on.

Entering the crowded room, the brigade commander looked at everyone with a strange smile: "Did you all hear the news?"

"You all know that this place has been changed to the Fifth Military District, right?"

"Then let me tell you, the commander of the Fifth Military District has arrived. The three regiments he led arrived first, and two regiments are still on the march."

The room was extremely quiet, with only the voice of the brigade commander floating in the air. "In other words, it is imperative to recapture Tongliao!"

"It is the responsibility of every Northeast Army soldier to drive the Japanese invaders out of Khorchin!"

The brigade commander pointed to the map behind him and said, "Now, the Fifth Military Region is divided into five echelons. The first echelon is Commander Dao Wenbin's three regiments, the second echelon is the troops of the two subsequent regiments, the third echelon is Li Haidan and Liu Zhenyu, and the fourth and fifth echelons are us and Lao Xie."

"According to the Fifth Military Region Commander-in-Chief's plan, once the battle to retake Tongliao begins, our troops must quickly occupy the Xiaojieji area to ensure that we can attack or defend."

Xiaojieji is located on the edge of Tongliao, in the west of the city, close to the Xiliao River. Its real name should be Xiaojieji Gacha.

At the junction of Kailu County and Tongliao.

This is a strategic location from Kailu County to Tongliao. If we take it, as the commander of the 9th Brigade said, we can achieve a strategic advantage of being able to attack or defend.

But if you want to occupy Xiaojieji Gacha, it is not a matter of empty words. You have to go south along Kailu to Molimiao Reservoir first, and then go to Xiaojieji from Molimiao Reservoir.

The 9th Brigade has been replenishing strategic supplies for so many days, how could the Japanese not get any information about it?
Therefore, the battle of Xiaojiejigacha will definitely be a tough one!
It’s still a tough battle of not being trusted!
Otherwise, the mission of your 9th Brigade should be to successfully pass through Xiaojieji and head to Tongliao for the main attack after others have captured Xiaojieji Gacha.

Xu Chaoyang estimated that the commander of the 9th Brigade was angry because he was not commended for the battle in Shebutu last time and was not trusted by Dao Wenbin this time, so he had to try his skills in Xiaojiejigacha...

Judging from the current situation, this is a tough fight to take down Xiaojieji with both sides being prepared.

He glanced at Wang Feng, and Wang Feng smiled and shook his head at him, which clearly meant "it's okay".

"I order the entire brigade to prepare for battle and be ready to march at any time. Once the battle begins, each regiment must quickly capture the target area and then assemble at Xiaojieji. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

After everyone shouted in unison, the brigade commander looked at Xu Chaoyang: "Captain Xu?"

"To!"

Xu Chaoyang quickly stood at attention.

"You just arrived. If we push you to the front line right away, it would be unkind and a bit like using you as cannon fodder..."

"Then you... build fortifications behind the small street. In case of any emergency, you will be responsible for covering our retreat. Is that okay?"

"There is no shirking the responsibility!"

"It's gone!"

The brigade commander waved his hand, and the company and platoon leaders of each battalion walked out of the house. Wang Feng took the opportunity to come over to greet Xu Chaoyang. The two touched shoulders, and Wang Feng said, "Am I being nice?"

Why is there someone here asking for a favor?
"That's it, that's it!"

Xu Chaoyang quickly smiled and pretended to be grateful.

"Chaoyang, I'm telling you, don't take it lightly. This time it all depends on me. If it weren't for me, you would be a newcomer, and the brigade commander would throw you to the front line and let you charge in the first wave. What would you do? How dare you disobey orders on the battlefield?"

"it's me!"

"He cried bitterly in front of the brigade commander and said that this was the last sapling under Master Ma's command and he had to leave a seed for others, so he left you behind to cover the retreat."

"Oh!"

"Staff Officer Wang, the brigade commander is calling you."

"coming!"

Before Wang Feng went back, he pointed at Xu Chaoyang and said, "I have something in mind."

Xu Chaoyang began to feel more and more strange. Not only did he feel strange, he also felt a little dazed.

Thinking of this, he quickly left the brigade headquarters, turned around and went into his own barracks in the courtyard. He stretched out his hands as soon as he entered the room and shouted, "Come on, who has money in their pockets? Gold and silver jewelry are fine. I can use them!"

Yang Jingyu was the first to pull out a golden object from his pocket: "How about a Japanese pocket watch?"

"I also have a Longines watch here..." Wang Tianhao also found a watch under the bed.

Xu Chaoyang looked at the two objects in his hands and asked, "Why are they both watches?"

Yang Jingyu and Wang Tianhao laughed together: "We can't take the devil's loincloth..."

Aren’t these the things? Except for those who were in the 9th Brigade, all the things in their company were taken from the Japanese. What else could they have?
"Just show it!"

"Rat!"

Yu Minghao, who was teaching the troops how to pack, stood up and ran over. Xu Chaoyang handed over two watches and said, "Pawn them."

"Being alive and being treated as dead?"

Xu Chaoyang hesitated again and again, looking at Yang Jingyu and Wang Tianhao's eyes expecting an answer, and said with gritted teeth: "Die..."

"Hey, when you come back, buy four boxes of gifts. If you have extra money, check with the brothers in the company to see if they are still short of anything and provide them with what they need."

When Qu Yong heard this, his mind immediately became active and he said, "I'll go too." He chased Yu Minghao and trotted out of the barracks.

"This boy!"

Yang Jingyu cursed: "That crotch can't be idle for a day!"
