War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 138: Rough Man
Under the cover of night, Xu Chaoyang walked out of the military camp carrying four boxes of gifts.

He walked eastward along the street of Kailu, staring at the sky full of stars, and walked towards a house on the corner of the street.

When, when, when.

When Xu Chaoyang walked to the gate of a small residential building not far from the main courtyard, he reached out and knocked on the door very slowly...

"Who is it?"

But Xu Chaoyang happened to hear a response from someone in the room, as if he was frightened. The speed of the response was so fast that even he was a little surprised.

"The rising sun."

Xu Chaoyang responded quickly.

crunch...

Only then did the courtyard door open.

"Chaoyang, why are you here so late?"

Wang Feng’s first action was to look in the direction of the military compound, instead of looking at Xu Chaoyang’s face.

"What are you looking at?"

"fine."

The more Xu Chaoyang looked at Wang Feng, the more strange he felt. He muttered to himself, "Didn't you help us in advance at the combat meeting this afternoon? I have to come to see you with four boxes of gifts."

"Where's my sister-in-law? Is she home?"

After saying that, Xu Chaoyang squeezed against the edge of Wang Feng's body and walked into the house, not giving Wang Feng any time to react.

"Is Brother Chaoyang here?"

What Xu Chaoyang never expected was that an extremely beautiful woman wearing an embroidered cheongsam walked out of the house and said Xu Chaoyang's name as soon as they met.

"Sister-in-law, we don't know each other, right?"

Xu Chaoyang's expression froze completely as he listened to the woman's words. He then explained, "Wang Feng, when he came back, he said he ran into an old acquaintance in the army. He also said he helped you with something. Plus, you two were talking at the door. Who else could it be except you?"

An old woman is trying to figure things out!
Xu Chaoyang handed over the four boxes of gifts in his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I just arrived in Kailu. The army is poor. This is just a little gift. Don't despise it."

He knew clearly in his mind that this woman must have been listening to the conversation between Wang Feng and himself in the room.

"What are you complaining about? Come in quickly. I'll make some food so you two can have a good drink."

Xu Chaoyang followed the direction the woman pointed her hand and walked into the room from the courtyard, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw something wrong.

"Chaoyang..."

Xu Chaoyang saw a pile of things related to Japan on the table in the house, and there were two military swords, one long and one short, hanging on the knife rack.

Wang Feng came over and stood beside Xu Chaoyang and said, "This is what we captured in the battle of Shebotu. Come and have a look."

Wang Feng handed the things on the table to Xu Chaoyang, and then said to his wife very gently: "Aren't you going to cook?"

"Ah, let's go right away. You're in a hurry..."

Cheng Yiqiu laughed and turned around, while Xu Chaoyang took the bag.

"A double-brass-buckled leather bag made in Japan, the kind that Japanese soldiers carried."

Xu Chaoyang actually took a careful look at the bag under the oil lamp. The bag was badly worn, with scratches all around the copper buckle, showing obvious signs of use.

Click.

Xu Chaoyang pressed the copper button to open the bag, and there was fur inside.

"It's pure cowhide." Wang Feng explained, "It's much better than ours!"

"My gun holster is not made of cowhide!"

Xu Chaoyang's heart was in suspense.

This bag is indeed made in Japan. In Japan, this thing is called a "carrying gear". The Japanese soldiers carried it on their backs every day and never left the bag.

This bag was produced in the fifth year of the Showa era, so it is also called Showa Five Style, but!

The "carrying equipment" with double copper buckles was only equipped to senior officers, and the backpacks of ordinary Japanese soldiers were the simplest cowhide bags.

This thing might be able to fool others, but it couldn't fool Xu Chaoyang. Xu Chaoyang didn't work in the Military Museum for nothing in his previous life.

"We are at war with the Japanese, so we have to study their equipment. So, I put a set of them at home..."

So far, what Wang Feng said made sense. It was normal for Japanese officers to participate in the Battle of Shebutu, and it was even more reasonable for them to seize this kind of backpack equipment. In addition, given Wang Feng's position and status in the 9th Brigade, there was nothing wrong with them having this thing.

What really made Xu Chaoyang nervous was that when he approached the table, he saw a military knife on it!

"Is it rare?"

Wang Feng saw Xu Chaoyang looking at the knife rack and immediately picked up the knife: "This is a good item. The Japanese call it the Iida sword."

bass!
Wang Feng pulled out the saber, held it in his hand while the oil lamp shone, and then handed it over and said, "Take a look!"

Xu Chaoyang took the saber and held it in his hand. He put the saber guard over his fingers and clenched it tightly. He looked at the blade carefully under the oil lamp. There was not a single scratch on the blade.

This is not a saber used on the battlefield. This kind of sword is a ceremonial sword used by high-ranking Japanese officers. Most of the Japanese sabers used on the battlefield do not have guards!

Although the appearance of this knife still retains the Japanese style, the entire blade is Westernized.

"Good knife." Xu Chaoyang said, suppressing his inner restlessness.

"Take it and play with it."

Wang Feng raised his hand and handed over the scabbard. Xu Chaoyang put the knife back into the sheath and put it back on the knife rack: "No, that won't do. How can I do that?" At this point, Xu Chaoyang's heart was already in turmoil.

The reason why he came was because Wang Tianhao's words made him feel uneasy. In addition, during today's meeting, Wang Feng chased Xu Chaoyang and asked for favors. He felt weak all over, as if he urgently needed someone to protect him, which made him even more uneasy.

That's why I came to visit Wang Feng under the pretext of "repaying a favor" and even asked for their home address.

But as soon as he came in, Xu Chaoyang smelled a very special scent on Cheng Yiqiu, and he thought it was perfume.

This is Kailu, not Ice City, nor Tongliao!

Where did you, Wang Feng, get the perfume for Cheng Yiqiu?

Which battlefield did you, Wang Feng, get the Japanese ceremonial knife from? How big a Japanese officer did you have to kill to do that?
If this really happened, the people from the 9th Brigade would have boasted about it long ago. Would they have to endure Li Haidan's anger until today?

"Where is the child? He's not at home?" Xu Chaoyang didn't know what to say anymore. He now wanted to kill Wang Feng!
"You're talking nonsense. This is Kailu. Can we bring our children here with us?"

"Stay in the Northeast?"

As soon as Xu Chaoyang asked, Wang Feng immediately raised his head, and the first thing that appeared on his face was a smile. Even though his expression was still calm, the suddenness of the question was so obvious in his eyes.

The Northeast was an enemy-occupied area. How could a couple use their connections to transfer to Inner Mongolia and leave their children behind in an enemy-occupied area?

"It was sent abroad long ago!"

He tried to speak calmly: "It's not just me. Many high-ranking officials in the Northeast Army sent their children abroad. First, to avoid the war, and second, to let their children see the world."

"You know that at that time, whenever the officers from Yang Yuting's group returned from overseas, they would be given important positions. Who wouldn't be jealous?"

Wang Feng really talks a lot and makes a lot of mistakes. Yang Yuting graduated from the 8th Infantry Department of the Japanese Army Academy. This is well known in the Fengtian clique. By mentioning him, isn't it obvious that you are saying that the child is in Japan?

Wang Feng, who had never expected Xu Chaoyang to come, kept staring at his expression. It was obvious that he regretted what he said.

"Hey, it's better to go out. If you go out, you won't have to suffer like us."

Xu Chaoyang pretended to be totally indifferent and said nonsense: "What England, Germany, as long as you leave, it will be better than here. I tell you, I don't know foreign language, even if I know it, I will leave."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked around the small room. As soon as he walked to the women's dressing table, he saw cosmetics in various packaging boxes!

"Japan!"

Xu Chaoyang heard a very firm voice from behind: "The child is in Japan."

He didn't even turn around, but faced Wang Feng with his back, his eyes wide open: "Well, you have to tell the children to be careful, don't let them get implicated because of you fighting the Japanese here."

"What the hell is this?"

Xu Chaoyang deliberately picked up a powder brush and pinched it, then turned around and looked at Wang Feng: "It's quite soft!"

"Hahahahaha!"

The stiff smile on Wang Feng's face finally softened, and he took the brush from Xu Chaoyang's hand: "Why are you playing with women's things?" Then he put the thing on the table: "Come on, let's drink!"

Wang Feng put his arm around Xu Chaoyang's shoulders and pressed him to the small table in the room. He sat beside him and continued, "Don't worry about the child. He has already flown from Japan to America."

"Don't you think about it? Can I let my son be in such a dangerous place?"

"What if the Japanese use him to threaten me and make me rebel?"

"National integrity cannot be lost."

Xu Chaoyang forced himself to control himself and said nothing: "Isn't this all because I'm holding it back? Otherwise, do you think I'm willing to play with women's things?"

"You don't know how we got here all the way from the Northeast... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but just to buy you these four boxes of gifts, I almost scraped away all the land!"

"You are fine. You have your wife with you. You are a typical example of a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man."

Xu Chaoyang turned his face away angrily. He was really angry!
But so what?
Right next to the 9th Brigade’s base, they killed the chief of staff and his wife?

When people ask you why, what do you say? Just because of the Japanese goods in the house? Is that a reason?
For this kind of thing, as long as there is no substantial evidence in hand, not a single word can be leaked until the time comes to take action!

"Come!"

Cheng Yiqiu entered the room first, carrying a plate of fried eggs: "You two brothers drink first, I'll make some cold dishes, otherwise the stew will take a long time, I'm afraid you two brothers can't wait."

Under the oil lamp, Xu Chaoyang and Wang Feng were drinking. After several cups, Xu Chaoyang still couldn't enjoy the taste. Finally, he couldn't sit still any longer: "Well, I really have to go. There are still a lot of things to do in the company."

"Chaoyang!"

Wang Feng turned around and opened the drawer on the table, and took out a stack of money from it: "Here!"

These are not silver dollars or Japanese military notes, but real US dollars, in a thick stack of ten dollars each!
"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?" Xu Chaoyang could only say this. He couldn't just reach out his hand, right?

"You, don't act so arrogant in front of me. When your company arrived at the 9th Brigade, their shoes were all torn..."

"Take it!"

Wang Feng forced the money into Xu Chaoyang's hand, pointed his finger at his nose and said, "Remember this, in the days ahead, we two brothers will walk forward side by side. What goes to me, goes to you!"

"Go!"

"Hey!"

Xu Chaoyang stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, turned around, walked out of the room as if moved, and walked out of the yard without stopping.

He strode forward on the street, and the stack of money seemed to be weighing on his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.

……

Inside the room, Wang Feng, who had just come back from seeing Xu Chaoyang off, Cheng Yiqiu grabbed his hand and said, "Didn't you see anything?"

Wang Feng smiled and pinched Cheng Yiqiu's face: "This is a rough guy, what can he understand?"
