War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 167 The wind blows and the sky is full of dust!
Early September, strong winds!

The strong wind blew up dust all over the sky. Xu Chaoyang led the overstretched company to hold on to half of the artillery battalion for three full days!

It rained at midnight the previous day, and Xu Chaoyang watched the soldiers wearing only single clothes, getting soaked in the rain...

The next day the sun finally came out, but at noon it was so hot it felt like being roasted on fire...

Today is the third day. The sky is full of dust and the sky is dim. The sand particles hit my face and it hurts!

But what about the devils?

After digging the trenches and firing a round of artillery fire at the small street, they disappeared.

Do you dare to slack off?

Do you dare to withdraw your troops and let the soldiers rest?

At this time, let alone Dao Wenbin, even Xu Chaoyang would not dare!
This is called the tactic of tiring the army out. You choose not to fight even though you know you will be beaten. When you become impatient and think the Japanese are just bluffing, suddenly they'll slap you in the face!
How damaged are the Japanese?

"Chaoyang, are the Japanese going to fight or not? If not, let's pull our troops back!"

Lao Chang's injury was completely healed, and he gained some weight during his recuperation in the Fifth Military Region, turning him into the lively and robust man he once was. But his character remained the same, and he exuded the impatience of a Northeastern man.

"Where to retreat? If we retreat, it's called disobeying military orders. If the Japanese attack from the direction of our defense while we're retreating, Dao Wenbin will lose the entire flank protection. If we hit him on the ribs, the Japanese will drive straight in and smash him in the teeth with just one move. Even if he doesn't kill me, do you think I can still live?"

Xu Chaoyang had a mouthful of sand in his mouth. He used his hands to brush the sand out of his hair. He turned around and listened to Chang Zhanxu's instructions: "You can't just stay in the pit like this, can you?"

"We really have to stay in the trenches like this. The war we are fighting is beyond the reach of an ordinary person!"

"If the Japanese really come, even if we only fire one round here, Dao Wenbin will know that the Japanese are coming from the flank, so we won't be ambushed silently..."

Chang Zhan angrily sat down in the trench and cursed, "This is too damn tiring!"

Is this what you call exhausting?

Xu Chaoyang only glanced at Chang Zhan and stopped talking, because he knew that in places even more arduous than this, our soldiers also chose to defend and attack. In that land, countless people were frostbitten and frozen to death. In the ice and snow, the ice sculptures that stood tall forever witnessed the unyielding will!
Is this what you call exhausting?
At least it’s not cold, right?
At least the logistical supplies can keep up, right?
On that battlefield, even the bandages used to cover wounds could cause infection...

"It will pass if you just hold on."

Xu Chaoyang said the toughest words in the softest manner. After all, this group of people had endured the century of humiliation. Their generation had carried on the great cause that should have been accomplished by several generations!
"The third row is sleeping, the second row is on alert, and the first row is on standby. Everyone works in three shifts. Lao Chang patrols the position to make sure there are always eyes open on the position."

After shouting this, Chang Zhan left. The only one left by Xu Chaoyang's side was his second sister, who was stuffing a handful of fried rice into her mouth.

The second sister ate fried rice and lowered her head to ask, "Master, when will this kind of life end?"

What she asked was from her heart. Ever since Xu Chaoyang rescued her from the Tianwangshan stronghold, this woman has always lived in war. Now the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire can no longer move her, but she can still do something about the future without being able to see Liang'er.

If, if she was a time traveler like Xu Chaoyang and knew the time of the devil's surrender, then everything would be fine, at least she would know where the deadline was. What about now?

Xu Chaoyang caressed his second sister's head and said without any blasphemy, "It's almost time. How many people can there be in a tiny place like Japan?"

He knows everything, but he has to say this!
Only by saying this can the second sister be pulled out of her nearly decadent state, and only by saying this can the second sister's eyes light up again.

Yes, the second sister raised her head, looked at Xu Chaoyang with a smile, and said, "That's right."

Xu Chaoyang seemed to understand what ideological work meant in an instant. In fact, the soldiers did not ask to finish the battle immediately and return home. They just hoped that someone would care for them when their mentality was unbalanced.

When Xu Chaoyang looked at his second sister, for some reason, he felt a sense of heartache from her ordinary smile. In fact, they didn't ask for much.

Yang Jingyu, who was sitting in the middle of a row chatting with the group of brats, was still telling a story. When he started talking about how he and other miners went on strike in the mine, he looked up at Xu Chaoyang and nodded with great satisfaction...

He and Xu Chaoyang did the same thing, but with different methods. Yang Jingyu used storytelling to attract the attention of all the soldiers, making them feel less bitter in the difficult environment and have more laughter in the pleasant atmosphere. In order to achieve this goal, he even turned himself into a clown in the story.

"I tell you, the mine is not a place for people to stay. The Japanese said they would not give us food, so we were starving. I felt like I was eating straw mats like a donkey!"

Hahahahaha!
The soldiers burst into laughter, but Yang Jingyu seemed to have remembered something and just kept a smile on his face without extending it.

This may be a joke to others, but to Yang Jingyu...only he knows how he managed to survive.

But so what?

The soldiers laughed. They blocked the wind and sand with one hand and supported their legs with the other. They were attracted and knew they could just pull themselves away in this environment.

Yu Minghao was telling them about their experience in guarding the border. Since Qu Yong became a regular platoon leader, he had learned to patrol the battlefield with his hands behind his back. Whenever he saw a naughty person, he would kick him in the buttocks and say seriously, "Go to sleep! If you dare to fall asleep when the fight starts, I will beat you to death!"

This is how they have been spending the past few days, but in the end, only three days have passed.

"report!"

Liu Gener led a soldier to circle back from the rear of the position, and stood in front of Xu Chaoyang and said: "The location of the minefield we set up has been reported to Commander Dao. Commander Dao marked it on the map and responded that future material transportation will bypass the minefield, so let our troops rest assured..."

"Return to the team."

Wars are not fought blindly, and minefields are not finished once they are laid out. When Xu Chaoyang has enough time, he must communicate effectively with Xiao Jieji to ensure that everything is foolproof. Otherwise, what if he steps into a minefield and blows up his own people when transporting supplies? Isn't it all your fault if the lawsuit breaks out?

Why did they wait until today to communicate with Dao Wenbin? The reason was simple. When Xu Chaoyang left Xiaojieji, he brought rations and supplies with him. He went back to urge for food when the rations were almost finished. Only then would they deliver supplies to the battlefield. Of course, he had to talk about the layout of the minefield in front of the battlefield.

"Company commander?" After Xu Chaoyang called for the soldiers to return to the team, Liu Gener waved his hand to drive the soldier away. He stood beside Xu Chaoyang and said, "Captain Dao specifically asked me to tell you that once the war starts, no matter how badly the Japanese army's small-scale attacks have damaged the small street base, the flanking firepower must not be exposed. We must wait until a large number of regular enemy troops appear before we are allowed to open fire, in order to cause the greatest possible casualties to the enemy."

Do I need to be reminded of this?

Xu Chaoyang looked at Liu Gen'er in confusion. Liu Gen'er shook his head and said, "Except for saying less 'fuck you, bastard', I conveyed Commander Dao's original words word for word."

Xu Chaoyang nodded: "Got it." "Everyone on alert! Japs!!!"

When Xu Chaoyang was thinking about something, Wang Tianhao suddenly shouted, and the three rows of people who were sleeping on the ground all rolled up and stood up quickly. When Xu Chaoyang saw the large Japanese army beginning to appear on the front battlefield of Xiaojieji...

He watched the overwhelming number of people quickly enter the defensive fortifications that had been dug long ago, and suddenly he was a little confused. Were the Japanese going to enter the frontal position in an orderly manner to fight Dao Wenbin?

This is almost as bad as the knight duels in Europe. Is this how wars are fought?
……

Small street base, brigade headquarters.

A shirtless Japanese soldier, wearing a military cap with a butt curtain and carrying two different flags, appeared alone on horseback outside the small street city.

The Rising Sun Flag with sixteen blood-red rays of light was fluttering in the wind, while the White Emperor Flag with a red sun in the middle was rolled up on the flagpole. At this moment, the Japanese soldier shouted to the guards outside the small street with the determination to die: "I am the envoy of the Empire, and I have something important to discuss with you, Commander Dao!"

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Five meters in front of the horse, the machine gun fire caused the horse to retreat continuously, but the Japanese soldier tightened the reins to stabilize the horse.

At the frontline, several soldiers turned around and ran back to the small street at the signal of the military chief. After a moment, they ran back again: "Captain Dao, let the Japanese pass!"

drive!
The Japanese soldier raised his chin triumphantly, rushed into the small street on horseback, and stopped in front of the brigade headquarters. After dismounting, he stood in front of the brigade headquarters with the flag on his back.

Dao Wenbin, who was eating lunch, didn't even raise his head. The map was still placed in front of the food. However, when the Japanese came in front of him, he said, "You want to put on a show? Even the backrest is tied up?"

The devil responded in impure Japanese: "Sir Sword!"

"I have been ordered to come here to persuade them to surrender..."

"There is an old Chinese saying..."

Upon hearing this, Dao Wenbin immediately lifted his bowl from his hand and slowly placed it on the table. He looked over with focused eyes and suddenly said with great certainty, "Damn it, you set up such a big scene to attract my attention, but you actually sent troops to attack Shebo?"

This sentence sounded like a thunderclap in front of the Japanese, making them open their eyes wide.

Dao Wenbin stood up and walked out from behind the table, step by step into the courtyard. Looking at the devil's expression, he suddenly smiled: "You kid, you don't want to be cheated?"

"Bomb?" The Japanese soldier, who did not understand Chinese very well, did not fully understand Dao Wenbin's intention. Dao Wenbin was too lazy to talk to him and said to himself: "I wonder why the Japanese are so patient. After setting up such a big stage, they didn't even invite a single actor..."

"You are planning to clear the periphery of Tongliao first, and then encircle our Fifth Military Region, right?"

"The first stop is Shebetu because it is in the south of Tongliao and far away from Xiaojieji. I can't reach it. In addition, you suffered at the hands of Li Haidan and Liu Zhenyu in Shebetu, so it is inevitable to avenge the previous humiliation."

"You're going to Haneda United, right?"

"The front part of the Eighth Division is guarding in front of me, and the troops mobilized from Tongliao are only the Haneda Regiment. Is this correct?"

Dao Wenbin smiled viciously, but he was not panicked at all!
"To me, the thoughts of you devils are like those of a few-month-old baby. I can see through them at a glance!"

Of course, the Japanese soldier didn't know whether what Dao Wenbin said was true or not. He was just a soldier, so how could he know the real intention of the superiors? But from the other party's attitude, the Japanese soldier felt that Dao Wenbin might have set a trap!
"Since Commander Dao knows everything, I advise you to..."

"Surrender?"

"Let Dao lead the entire Fifth Military District to surrender, is that what you mean?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Dao Wenbin laughed wildly, but then quickly stopped. He stared at the Japanese soldier in front of him and said, "You are not even as tall as my son, and you still dare to ask me to surrender?"

"Then I will let you die knowingly today!"

"I'm in the Fifth Military Region watching you guys act like Reagan and cooperating with you in your show, just waiting for you to finish this act!"

"The front part of the Eighth Division is pressing down on me, and the Haneda Regiment is heading straight for Shebotu. Do you think I dare not move..."

bump!
Dao Wenbin stretched out his hand and directly pinched the Japanese soldier's crotch, causing him to tiptoe and pull his body upwards. Dao Wenbin then said fiercely: "But when the cold wind whistled in my trouser pocket, didn't you guys ever think that I, Dao Wenbin, am also a living person, not a lump of wood?"

"Send the order!"

Dao Wenbin pinched the Japanese soldier's crotch like a cat playing with a mouse. The Japanese soldier held the door frame with one hand and held Dao Wenbin's wrist with the other!
"Order Li Haidan and Liu Zhenyu's troops to attack Tongliao with all their might. Regardless of the weather or the opportunity, attack immediately. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

The messengers all rushed out on horseback, and Dao Wenbin then loosened his hands and kicked the Japanese down. Then he snatched the gun from the guard, quickly pushed the bullet into the chamber, and pulled the trigger directly at the Japanese soldier!
Damn!
A gunshot was heard, Dao Wenbin took the gun and threw it back to the guard, turned around and walked back to the brigade headquarters.

……

At the frontline, a warhorse staggered out of the position and ran towards the Japanese position. On the warhorse, two Japanese flags were planted there motionlessly. After walking more than a hundred meters away...

boom!
A gunshot was heard from the position.

boom!
The explosives on the entire side of the warhorse were detonated directly, and the warhorse and two flags were blown to pieces in front of the Japanese army.

On the battlefield, countless soldiers shouted in unison!

"Fight until you are exhausted! Never surrender!"

"Fight until you are exhausted! Never surrender!"

The wind blows and the sky is full of dust!
