War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 143 Ear Thunder

This was the first time Xu Chaoyang had seen this kind of weather. The strong winds blew the sky yellow, and the sand in the wind hit people so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. It seemed as if the whole world was swallowed up by the darkness. If you didn't know, you would think it was evening.

But it was afternoon now. They had departed from Kailu in the morning, arrived at Moli Temple, and then went to Xiaojieji from Moli Temple. They had just arrived!!

Xu Chaoyang had just finished building defensive fortifications on the road between Molimiao and Xiaojieji when a strong wind blew away and made everyone feel uneasy.

"What kind of weather is this?"

Qu Yong tilted his head and spat out sand. Ten meters in front of him, he could only see rolling yellow sand and nothing else.

Xu Chaoyang shook his head. He had only heard that the sandstorms in Inner Mongolia were severe, but he didn't expect it to be this severe.

"Chaoyang, do we need to make some strategic arrangements?"

Seeing that the fortifications were completed, Yang Jingyu walked over very seriously and asked this question with squinted eyes in the trench.

"This is a stupid strategic deployment. If the Japanese really come, they won't see our defenses. They can just attack them."

Yang Jingyu asked again: "What if the wind stops for a while?"

This question stumped Xu Chaoyang!
He had an idea in his mind. What if the failure in the Tongliao defense battle was more or less related to the weather?

"Rat!"

Yu Minghao came over from the other side of the trench, his face covered with dirt, looking like a little dirt man.

"Have the brothers stand sentry in front, one man every 15 to 20 meters. Tell the sentries that if they encounter an enemy, they don't need to report, but should be the first to fire their guns."

"Yes!"

Yu Minghao turned back and quickly gave orders. A team of ten sentinels jumped out of the trench and moved forward.

At this time, everyone in the company huddled in the trenches and couldn't even raise their heads.

Xu Chaoyang took a look through the telescope and gave up. It was true that the telescope could see far, but it could not break through the sand. Not only was there still rolling dust in front of his eyes, but there was also the "crackling" sound of fine sand hitting the ground beside his ears.

Liu Gener came over and asked, "Are the mines still buried?"

"What's the point of burying this? Don't let the 9th Brigade come back defeated and then get beaten again." Qu Yong said with no trust in the 9th Brigade.

Yang Jingyu glanced at Qu Yong, and the brothers, who were all huddled in the trenches, asked: "How do you know that the 9th Brigade will definitely lose?"

"They look like they are doomed to fail!" Qu Yong analyzed the situation for you like a fortune teller: "The 9th Brigade is equivalent to a ground artillery, right?"

"They are living a good life, but the Fifth Military Region has to force them into a war. If it were you, would you be happy about it?"

"Fighting is fine, but it's also nameless. It's like all the gods in the sky came out to help Sun Wukong capture monsters. Then who should get the credit for capturing the monsters? Or should it go to the gods or Buddhas in the sky?"

"Add to that what happened with Li Haidan before, and everyone is unhappy. Soldiers and officials alike are not interested."

"The commander of the 9th Brigade is just holding back his anger. Do you think we can win this battle?"

Yang Jingyu really listened to what Qu Yong said. Although Qu Yong didn't know anything about military books or battle formations, what he said was really to the point.

Hearing this, Xu Chaoyang inexplicably interjected: "I am not afraid of the 9th Brigade losing now, I am afraid that his 9th Brigade will win."

Qu Yong was confused: "Brother, isn't it a good thing that the 9th Brigade won?"

Wang Tianhao waved his hand quickly: "Just stop it!"

"You can see that the 9th Brigade is not prepared for a major war. They are bound to lose this battle. So why don't you think about how they can win?"

"If the Japanese hadn't taken off their loincloths themselves, exposing their butt hair for him to poke, would that be possible?" "Once the 9th Brigade wins, what the Japanese are planning to put in their pockets will definitely not be the 9th Brigade, but the entire Fifth Military Region!"

Qu Yong was not convinced: "Stop talking nonsense, okay? There is only one Japanese regiment and 3,000 puppet Mongolian soldiers in Tongliao. How dare they pack so many people in there? Aren't they afraid that the pack will explode and Tongliao will be lost?"

"No matter how cowardly the 9th Brigade is, it is not made of clay. How many people are there in a brigade? What about the three regiments of the Fifth Military Region?"

"Add the two fallen regiments and Li Haidan's cavalry, and there will be more than 10,000 people. Let a regiment of Japanese soldiers kill more than 10,000 pigs all over the mountains and plains!"

"I just don't believe this!"

Xu Chaoyang still didn't say anything, but Wang Tianhao explained: "Maybe the Japanese bullets don't kill people that quickly..."

"What kind of thing can kill people so quickly?"

"Miko in the captain's pocket!"

"If the 9th Brigade wins the battle and enters Xiaojieji, the three regiments of the Fifth Military Region will rush to Tongliao and start a major battle..."

"If the 9th Brigade were to turn against their own side in the middle of a battle, the Fifth Military Region would be turned into a living hell!"

Qu Yong quickly stretched out his hand towards Wang Tianhao. He was stunned for a long time before he figured it out: "Don't say anymore, I'm sweating."

No matter how stupid Qu Yong was, he could figure out what was going on. This was not a war at all. If the war really continued like this, who would dare to join the army in the future?

"Brother, what should we do? If the 9th Brigade really makes such a scene, it will be a disaster for us!"

They also came from the Northeast Army. Even though the name is not nice, no matter what, when people mention the 9st Company of the Ma Army, they have to look up to them. If the th Brigade really did something like this, wouldn't it be like a pile of mud stuck in the crotch that cannot be explained away?
"Yu Minghao!"

Xu Chaoyang made up his mind and shouted, "Send five more people to Jigacha, the small street, and find out the battle situation for me!"

Xu Chaoyang also wanted to leave, but since he joined the 9th Brigade, the matter was already a done deal.

You have eaten the 9th Brigade's food, right? You have taken the 9th Brigade's food, right? No matter what the result is, you have to bear it!

If the 9th Brigade really turns against you in the middle of a battle, history will not be able to explain away your presence as long as there are traces of you on the battlefield!

You say you are not traitors, not traitors? Who would believe you?

"Brother..." Qu Yong's face looked like a bitter gourd: "I think we fell into a ditch!"

Wang Tianhao sighed, "You just found out. Why did the company commander choke his teeth with worry when he brought Meizi back? Do you understand now?"

"Now you understand why the captain got all this gunpowder, don't you?"

Xu Chaoyang ignored them and looked at Yang Jingyu: "Old Yang..."

"Shut up!"

"Don't say a single word to me. I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. Anyway, we're brothers now. If you want to give in to the gangsters and pretend to be a big shot, I'll give you a fucking slap in the face!"

Qu Yong was confused by Yang Jingyu's words: "Old Yang, my brother didn't say anything, why did you just open your mouth and scold him?"

Wang Tianhao turned his head and slapped him: "This time, our leader is right to scold us!"

A wisp of yellow sand drifted along the sky. In the strong wind, the sand grains were obviously colored, and clumps of them were constantly surging.

Altai didn't listen to anyone's quarrel. He just looked at the sky full of wind and sand and said, "If the weather here continues to be like this, how can the people survive?"

　Don’t worry, there’s more.
