War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 174 Northwest Wolf

Xu Chaoyang definitely didn't come here to drink tea, nor did he come here to enjoy himself.

217th Regiment, Regimental Headquarters.

When Wang Changhai brought Xu Chaoyang into the room, in the empty room, he stood under a map and turned around.

This is a dilapidated old house. The floor is paved with long strips of blue bricks. The square table in the room has no carvings or paint, it is just made of ordinary wood. Everything in this room seems to confirm every word that Wang Changhai will say next.

"Boy."

Wang Changhai looked at Xu Chaoyang: "Our Northwest Army has not enjoyed much happiness since Master Feng rose to power."

"We fought bloody battles in the northwest, and fought the party-affiliated gangs till the end of time;"

"We killed 5,000 prisoners of war, which caused the newspapers at the time to curse us to death;"

"Now that we are standing under the roof of the Northeastern Army, I believe you can also see that the 29th Army is not welcome here."

"So you have to tell me the truth. Why is it that there are roads all around you in the inner city, but you have to suffer hunger here?"

Wang Changhai looks very ordinary, and his two shaggy eyebrows don't make him look heroic. He and Dao Wenbin and Wang Feng are completely different people. The former can't be found even in a crowd, while the latter has a special temperament that can be seen at first sight.

Xu Chaoyang also completely abandoned the rules of the army at this moment. He stood at the door, letting the sun shine on his back while the front of him was covered by shadows. He said, "It's because you are hungry."

Wang Changhai raised his eyebrows, waiting for an answer.

Xu Chaoyang said slowly: "I want to enter the customs, naturally there is a road to heaven, but on this road, although the golden light is shining, there are bumps and ditches at every step."

"It doesn't matter what I say."

"If I want to do something, I can only report to the higher authorities. Even if they are in a good mood and report my report directly to the higher authorities, it may be drowned in the sea of ​​reports. Can that gentleman care about what a company commander says?"

"If he can't do it, then neither can I."

Wang Changhai smiled: "You mean, I can do it?"

Xu Chaoyang saw the sarcasm on Wang Changhai's face, but he still said calmly: "You are really capable."

He turned around and looked around the room: "29th Army, hungry."

He suddenly raised his hand, took General Liu's rifle in his hand, and immediately pulled the trigger at the lamp above his head!

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
He fired five shots without hesitation. After the gunshots, a team suddenly rushed in from outside the regiment headquarters and surrounded Yang Jingyu, Lao Chang and others. Inside the hall of the regiment headquarters, a group of men in military uniforms rushed in, followed the door and went around to both sides of the house, pointing their guns at Xu Chaoyang.

And Wang Changhai was watching behind Xu Chaoyang.

He saw it. He saw Xu Chaoyang shooting at the lamp. The oil dish was shattered and fell to the ground.

He also saw that when Xu Chaoyang fired the gun, he did not pull the bolt again, but each bullet was still fired powerfully.

This kind of robbery, this kind of firepower...

I wish this could be equipped to the 217th Regiment!
Xu Chaoyang turned around and threw General Liu's rifle over.

Wang Changhai subconsciously reached out to catch it, and when he lowered his head to look at the gun again, Xu Chaoyang, surrounded by many of his men, raised his hands high. Wang Changhai was fascinated by the gun.

But he still raised his head suddenly, stared at Xu Chaoyang and asked: "Why did you give me this?"

"Because there are no arsenals in Inner Mongolia..."

"Neither does my 29th Army!"

Xu Chaoyang just pursed his lips and said nothing, then smiled and looked at Wang Changhai quietly.

The next second, Wang Changhai waved his hand and asked his men to retreat. Then, he walked to the door of the room and closed it.

"What else do you know?"

Xu Chaoyang said, "In 1924, when Old Feng was just starting out, he was short of everything and was in the stage of robbing wherever he went. At this time, he rushed into the De County Arsenal and forcibly dismantled the machinery... By the way, Wang Tuan, the predecessor of the De County Arsenal was the Beiyang Machinery Manufacturing Bureau."

"The De County Arsenal was miserable enough. Not only was it robbed once by Old Feng, but in 1926, it was robbed again by the gravedigger."

"Since then, Lao Feng has had a repair shop with the army. This is also the reason why you, Lao Ding, can still build the 'Flower Machine' and dare to participate in the Central Plains War without an arsenal."

"Yes, the Northwest Army is gone."

"But Song Laoding is still here. Even though there are only 29 Northwest Army soldiers left out of the , and they have been changed into the th Army, I don't believe that Song Laoding can abandon the old traditions of the Northwest Army and get rid of the 'Army Repair Shop'."

Xu Chaoyang was talking about history. In fact, it was because of this "military equipment repair shop" that Song Zheyuan was able to build his own arsenal in Peiping. Of course, that was a story for the future and has not happened yet.

But right now, the entire Northwest Army's armaments depend on the "Military Repair Shop" for survival.

"You have a say here with Song Laoding. Even if there is Brigade Commander Zhao above you, it won't hinder your communication."

"As long as I can talk to you, some things can be accomplished!"

Xu Chaoyang sighed: "Captain Wang, let me tell you the truth, I'm not here to urge for food. It's Commander Dao who saw that I was pitiful for fighting after coming from the Northeast, and gave me a face when the defeat of the Fifth Military Region was revealed." He stretched out his hands and slapped his face.

"We were in Xiaojieji and the Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and Type 38 rifles hit us so hard that our heads hurt. They also used airplanes to bomb us..."

"The gap between us and them didn't happen overnight. The only firepower that can help us win a quick victory is in your hands!"

"This is called a semi-automatic rifle. Once you pull the trigger, it can fire continuously without pulling the bolt."

"But this gun still has a big flaw, which is that the muzzle that collects kinetic energy is extremely easy to damage. This kind of gun is simply impossible to use in harsh environments."

Xu Chaoyang leaned in close to the muzzle of General Liu's rifle and said this, then opened his mouth again: "But this is not a problem that cannot be improved. I know how to improve it but I don't know how to do it specifically. I need an arsenal and experts. If I have to submit reports layer by layer after entering the customs, no one may pay attention to it. Then I might as well find the 29th Army, which is like a hungry wolf."

"At least you don't have anything you want, but you treat anything you have as a treasure..."

"Is that true?"

Xu Chaoyang's words sounded harsh, but that was why he walked along the edge of the Chifeng map all the way south after evacuating from Tongliao.

He could have gone to Kangbao to wait for Dao Wenbin, but the question was what would be the point of going there?
Return to Liaoning? Then how come the Japanese were able to return the Fengtian Arsenal?
Xu Chaoyang, who had already understood the gap between his troops and the Japanese army, no longer had any tactical or strategic thoughts in his eyes when he saw planes and artillery bombing Xiaojieji. He had to change the situation, even if he had to start from the smallest details.

Then, General Liu’s rifle is the first step!
