War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 164 I'll just watch you perform quietly

"Chaoyang!"

In the evening, the sky was full of rosy clouds. Xu Chaoyang was sitting on the threshold of the courtyard door, smoking a cigarette. Dao Wenbin, who was wearing a military uniform, came over from the next courtyard.

"Hello, sir."

Xu Chaoyang stood up slowly. There was no thunderous roar or salute that could make a sound like stepping on one's feet. He just tilted his head to spit out the cigarette butt, and almost put his hand towards his temple, then looked over with a smile on his face.

Dao Wenbin seemed to be relieved when he stood in front of Xu Chaoyang. He put one hand on his waist and unbuttoned his military uniform with the other hand and said, "How are you? Have you rested for the past few days?"

As he spoke, he pointed forward and said, "Come on, take a walk with me. It's time for dinner."

What else can Xu Chaoyang say? Just follow me.

The two of them walked along the small street and headed out of the city. It was then that Xu Chaoyang realized that although Dao Wenbin had many shortcomings, he had a little more admiration for him just because he dared to wander around his own military camp without anyone with him. The key point was that he did not attract any contempt or disdain, even after two regiments had been sent to Tongliao.

After unbuttoning his shirt, Dao Wenbin handed over the 'gun handle' in the holster and said, "I picked it up from Wang Feng's body when the First Regiment took over the Nansha Camel Battlefield. You can handle it."

This gun is Dao Wenbin's sidearm. Its combat performance in a formal war is not very high, but Wang Feng's life is at stake here.

Xu Chaoyang took the gun and put it on his waist without even refusing. This thing was definitely more convenient to carry than a box gun.

Dao Wenbin said at this time: "In the battle of Tongliao, the enemy's tanks dealt us an indelible blow. If we don't solve this problem, there is almost no hope of attacking Tongliao."

"Here's what I thought. Give me some advice. Do you think the Japanese could have thought that our morale was low after the battle of Tongliao, and that we would take the initiative to attack Xiaojieji after repairing the defense of Tongliao, and take the opportunity to launch a decisive battle and pacify eastern Mongolia in one battle?"

The military chief of the Fifth Military Region, find a company commander to give you strategic advice?
Xu Chaoyang resisted the urge to laugh, and shook his head with a confused expression, as if to say, "I'll just quietly watch you perform." "It's almost impossible. If the devils had such thoughts, they should have left the city after we were defeated."

"I think the main reason why the Japanese didn't do this is probably because they don't have enough troops. If they still dare to do this under such circumstances, it can only mean that the Northeast has begun to increase its troops in the direction of Tongliao."

Dao Wenbin pointed at Xu Chaoyang and said, "You hit the nail on the head. The intelligence we just received is that the Northeast has begun to send reinforcements to Tongliao. Although the number is unknown, they will arrive in Tongliao soon."

"Is this a preparation for attacking Rehe?"

"Human spirit!"

Dao Wenbin smiled at Xu Chaoyang and praised him generously, and then the two of them chatted as they left the city.

"If the Japs had no intention of capturing Rehe, the master in the pass wouldn't have hurriedly transferred me here. But now that I'm here, I can't just watch all this happen... Look!"

Dao Wenbin pointed outside the city. There were anti-tank cones everywhere. In front of the anti-tank cones, many soldiers were still digging foxholes.

"Commander, what are you doing?" Xu Chaoyang pretended to be surprised and looked up at Dao Wenbin.

Dao Wenbin sneered: "The lesson from last time was too profound. Groups of soldiers died in Tongliao. Let the devils burn them in front of the city gate. I wish..."

"This kind of thing can't happen again, so I thought for a long time about how to destroy the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles..."

As Xu Chaoyang listened to Dao Wenbin repeating almost word for word the tactics he had described in the barracks, his smile grew wider and wider, and he didn't even notice that his mouth was already grinning.

"why are you laughing?"

Dao Wenbin asked in surprise. He might not understand why he didn't get surprised but made the opponent laugh after he told him his understanding of the opponent's tactics.

"This is fate." Xu Chaoyang seemed to really accept his fate. Standing in the sunset, he said, "Commander Dao, to be honest, I was discussing your thoughts with my men in the barracks yesterday at noon. At that time, our opinions were almost exactly the same as yours. I was thinking about finding an opportunity to tell you, who knows..."

Xu Chaoyang pointed his finger in front of his eyes and said, "You have already finished everything before me!"

"Do you think this is fate?" "No wonder you are the chief of the Fifth Military Region. I am still a small company commander after all this..."

Xu Chaoyang's complaints were so real that Dao Wenbin heard them and patted him on the shoulder: "What is there to complain about? Isn't it all for the sake of fighting the Japanese?"

"I'm telling you, as long as we can take back Tongliao and stop the Japanese from invading Rehe, I really don't care who came up with this idea or who gets the credit!"

Don't you fucking care?

Dao Wenbin said this, and seeing that Xu Chaoyang's expression was not much moved, he quickly asked: "Do you really think so?"

Xu Chaoyang finally reacted and slapped his thigh vigorously: "How can I pick this out in front of you?"

"Let me tell you... At that time, I was thinking that since it was an infantry-tank collaboration, there must be infantry behind the tanks, so as long as..."

Dao Wenbin was afraid that Xu Chaoyang would speak out ahead of time, so he quickly interrupted and said, "As long as a cavalry unit quickly penetrates from the flank, taking advantage of the tanks and armored vehicles' slow movement of turning their guns and cannons, and raiding the infantry's flank, it will provide the soldiers in the foxholes with a short period of time to attack?"

Xu Chaoyang froze his expression on his face and just looked at Dao Wenbin.

Lao Dao also pretended to be very good at saying, "Don't tell me you think the same way!"

"Impressed!"

Xu Chaoyang clasped his fists towards Dao Wenbin, displaying the highest etiquette in the martial arts world, sighed, and lowered his head silently.

Dao Wenbin smiled proudly at Xu Chaoyang: "Okay, buddy, who has a different idea?"

"Did you suffer heavy losses in the last battle at Nansha Tuozi?"

Xu Chaoyang lowered his head and picked up the clods of earth in front of him with his feet, keeping silent.

"The first regiment has been almost wiped out, with only half a company left. So, I originally planned to transfer these incomplete soldiers to the rear as a reserve force, but now most of the company in the first regiment is yours, as are the weapons and equipment. I will build a reinforced company for you."

Xu Chaoyang lowered his head: "Then I feel aggrieved too."

"It's not over, is it?"

Dao Wenbin glared at him, but finally said in a compromising tone: "I heard that before you left Harbin, you led your men to use the 'flower machine' to cause chaos to the Japanese?"

Xu Chaoyang looked up instantly. He still missed the usefulness of the flower mechanism!

"I'll give you enough submachine guns and bullets from my own guard company...enough for a platoon. Is that okay now?"

How could Xu Chaoyang dare to agree immediately?
"Commander Dao, the point is, this was all your idea, but I got the upper hand in the end. If the other brothers in the Fifth Military Region saw this, they would..."

"You kid, you eat and take, and you don't want to be hated? Just give it all to you?"

"No, that's not what I meant!"

"roll!"

"piss off!"

Xu Chaoyang was about to turn around when he immediately came back: "Sir, where can I get the people and the weapons?"

Dao Wenbin made a move to strike, but Xu Chaoyang turned around and ran into the city. He then slowed down his pace and walked easily, muttering to himself, "Now we don't have to blow up the tanks ourselves..."
