War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 162: Big Mouth Slapping Glue! (Thanks to '元丶琉忆' for the 1500 reward!)
One day, two days, three days...seven days passed, and the small street was still shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

The loss of the two regiments in Tongliao seemed to have taken away the spirit and vitality of the entire Fifth Military Region. In the midst of the gray and silent atmosphere, quarrels would always suddenly break out.

"Commander Dao, what do you mean?"

"Aren't you going to attack Tongliao?"

"Why did you let your men build such a strong fortification on the small street?"

"I also saw someone using cement to build anti-tank cones!"

"General Li Haidan, there is nothing we can do about it. That's a tank, and we don't have many ways to deal with it. It is said that this thing is not afraid of mines or artillery shells. Commander Dao personally called the headquarters and learned that Germany has a special method to deal with this thing, called Dragon Fang."

"Don't you think about it? After our defeat in Tongliao, can the Japanese so easily let go of the opportunity to occupy the entire territory of Tongliao?"

"Be prepared!"

"Bullshit, this is cowardice!"

"Hey, as a soldier, I have never been accused of being afraid of fighting. If you think you are invincible, go to Tongliao with your cavalry. Who can stop you?"

Quarrels, nothing but quarrels.

These days, Xu Chaoyang has been sitting with his arms folded, listening to the quarrels coming from the brigade headquarters just across the wall from the brigade headquarters. His ears are almost callused from the noise.

He didn't know whether Dao Wenbin was scared by the Japanese or numb from the fighting. He couldn't understand how such a tough guy couldn't learn how to deal with the situation after being defeated in the battle of Tongliao.
Isn’t this situation obvious?
The Japs suffered such a great humiliation that even Tongliao City was breached. The city gate has only just been repaired today. The newly rebuilt gate tower and the city gate made of broken wooden boards all show that the Japs in Tongliao are not only short of manpower, but they don’t even dare to leave the city to look for good wood...

At this time, instead of looking for fellow villagers who are familiar with the situation in Tongliao City to find out the location of the iron-shelled turtles and organize a suicide squad to launch a night attack to blow up those iron-shelled turtles, what are you thinking about in the small street?

"Chaoyang?"

Xu Chaoyang put his index finger to his lips and said "hush" to Lao Yang who was running towards him.

The two brothers leaned against the wall and listened to the dispute in the brigade. As they listened, Yang Jingyu finally understood the situation...

"This is because we lack a mass base. In addition, we have just been defeated. The people don't know how the future will develop. They dare not gamble with their own fate, for fear that they will inform the Fifth Military Region and make a wrong bet, which will affect their entire family. Now, Dao Wenbin seems to be able to fight after losing nearly two regiments, but what about the reality? He is isolated and helpless in this vast Inner Mongolia."

"He was also afraid that after all his troops were wiped out, he, as the military commander of the Fifth Military Region, would lose his right to speak."

Xu Chaoyang nodded, thinking that Yang Jingyu's analysis made sense. As long as Dao Wenbin still had people under his command, he would still have value in Inner Mongolia. All parties had to pay attention to this force. Once they fought the Japanese all the way or lost another battle, the whole world would be disappointed.

“It’s still warlord thinking.”

Yang Jingyu looked at him and said, "The Fengtian Army was originally a warlord."

In one sentence, the essence of the entire Northeast Army was revealed.

At that moment, Yang Jingyu turned to Xu Chaoyang very formally: "Chaoyang, we are different..." "We are fundamentally different from warlords."

"I know."

Facing Xu Chaoyang's answer, Yang Jingyu looked over unhappily: "Chaoyang, I don't like your attitude. You can fight and you know how to fight, but you never seem to want to understand us..."

"Old Yang! Old Yang, Old Yang, Old Yang..."

"Believe me, I understand. Not only do I understand, I understand it very deeply, really!"

"Well, I have something else to do, ah..."

"Chaoyang! With your attitude, how can I do ideological work on other people in the team in the future? Chaoyang!!"

Yang Jingyu thought that he, Xu Chaoyang, was just like his subordinates Qu Yong, Yu Minghao and others. They fought the Japanese only out of hatred and had no interest in the ideals he believed in. Otherwise, how come this team was infected with the "Xu Chaoyang habit"? They would listen when he told stories and laugh when he talked nonsense, but when he started doing ideological work, it was like they heard a lullaby, and their snoring became louder and louder.

But it was also because of this 'Xu Chaoyang habit' that this group of people were able to quickly unite into one around Xu Chaoyang when fighting the Japanese invaders. There were no obstacles at all in getting orders down. This group of people naturally felt that what Xu Chaoyang, the 'big brother', said should be carried out without fail.

The problem is that if this habit continues to develop, at most it will form another group of warlords, and Dao Wenbin is demonstrating to the whole country the fragility of the warlords in the face of war.

The warlords have neither the fearless spirit nor the quality of self-sacrifice. Once they encounter difficulties, the first thing they think of is self-preservation. How can they continue to fight the Japanese?
Uh……

Yang Jingyu was suddenly stunned when he thought of this. He seemed to feel that it was not accurate to describe Xu Chaoyang with gangster habits and warlord characteristics. You said they did not have the fearless spirit, but they did save themselves at the station at the risk of their lives; you said they did not have the spirit of sacrifice, but they still rushed into Taylor with a stubborn head; you said that under this kind of mentality, they would not be able to compete with the Japanese when encountering difficulties, didn't they already show you how to do it outside Tongliao City?

In short, Yang Jingyu felt that the group of people brought by Xu Chaoyang were very strange. While they were able to fight and dared to fight, they resisted the blessing of all "thoughts and ideas". They liked to speak foul language and live in a careless manner.

"Altai, Yu Minghao, Wang Tianhao, Lao Chang, all platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders, come to the meeting!"

In the room, all the backbones of the company gathered together. Xu Chaoyang didn't say a word. He sat on the edge of the window sill and went straight to the point: "Let's talk about it. If we go to the battlefield again and the Japanese iron-shelled turtles rush towards us, what should we do!"

Xu Chaoyang looked at this group of brothers who had fought with him all the way from the Northeast, and scanned them with his eyes.

It's not that he was unwilling to listen to Yang Jingyu's discussion of armed ideology, but the time was not right yet.

Among this group of people, except for Wang Tianhao who has been influenced by Yang Jingyu all day long to look a bit like a decent person, the others are all from humble backgrounds. How many of them can understand if you talk about ideological construction with them?
On the contrary, most of the people who are brave enough to stand up for justice are butchers. If you tell them that being a soldier means eating food and making meritorious service means receiving rewards, this group of people will understand what it means and can form combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.

As for ideology, you can slowly instill it once you have a stable backing and a collective atmosphere of unity and progress. Now you insist on making people understand what "ideals" and "beliefs" are. Who wouldn't be confused?

This is like a student in school who is being taught by his teacher every day, "You have to study hard, only by studying hard can you have a future." How many of them can appreciate the teacher's good intentions? When you enter society, you will be slapped in the face by others. Do you want to try again? You don't need to remind him to study on his own. Why? He has to make money!
　Thanks to '元丶琉忆' for the 1500 reward, it's too much, I am very grateful, thank you very much.

　　In addition, you don't need to care how much Qidian divides the reward into, and you don't need to care how much I take. No matter how much I take, I will thank you in full. After all, you spent that much money. If I want to thank you according to the amount I received, how inhuman would I be? No one's money comes from the wind, right?

　　Thanks again!
