War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 191 What kind of cannon is this?

Although the newly appointed chief instructor of the 217th Regiment had not officially started the training of the entire regiment, everyone in the barracks still focused their attention on him that night...

Last night, when the pine torches were lit, Xu Chaoyang shouted, "Shoot him!" It started with the battle; the commander of the 217th Regiment rushed out from the room, and was so anxious that he shouted the lines from the opera, "Spare his life!" As a connection, the two of them rushed towards Qu Yong who was pinned to the ground, one after the other. The moment Xu Chaoyang pulled the hammer of the gun and aimed at Qu Yong's head, Wang Changhai rushed over and lifted Xu Chaoyang's arm directly - bang!

A gunshot shook the entire military camp.

That night, many platoon leaders burst into tears. Yu Minghao's nose and tears flowed together: "Captain, have you forgotten how we survived at the Northeast Railway Station? At that time, you and Qu Yong were stabbed by the Japanese like blood gourds. Are you going to give up this friendship like this?"

Liu Gener sat on the ground and slapped the ground with his hands like a bitch, shouting, "Company Commander, look at Qu Yong's face. The cuts haven't healed yet, but the first person he thought of in the car was you!"

Wang Changhai: "My words to the 217th Regiment still have any effect!"

It is so moving and compassionate.

Well, there is something very strange...

Old Huang leaned against the door of the barracks and looked for a long time, muttering, "Why didn't Captain Wang just plead for mercy when he came? He and Xu Chaoyang muttered for a long time after arriving at the barracks before they started to plead for mercy. What were they discussing? It took them so long that they forgot about pleading for Qu Yong?"

What are they studying?

simple!
The 217th Regiment has three battalions, under which there are also the regiment's direct guard company, pistol company, cooks, grooms, scouts, messengers, etc., totaling more than a thousand people. Now with Xu Chaoyang's reinforced company, there are nearly twelve hundred people.

Among these 1,000 men, there were only 14 light machine guns that could be used on the battlefield, and that included the equipment of Xu Chaoyang's company; not to mention the artillery, there were only two in a regiment, and those were all mountain artillery;
In the regiment, there were a total of 457 old chambered rifles and less than 500 Shanxi-imitation Type 38 rifles. In addition, the total number of bullets for all the guns in the regiment was less than 100,000. In other words, if a major war requiring the entire regiment broke out and they fought openly, they might not be able to hold out before dark before running out of ammunition.

Wang Changhai finished settling the bill with Xu Chaoyang, and the second to last sentence he left was: "Watch out for the treatment." He originally wanted to use this sentence as a closing remark, but was afraid that Xu Chaoyang would not understand, so he added: "Be ruthless, it's not easy to meet a fat sheep these days."

Just like that, the whole series of gongs and drums were set up to start the big drama. Xu Chaoyang was about to execute Ma Su with tears, and Wang Changhai begged Cao Cao to give Xu Chu a way to live. Anyway, the drama was all on stage.

That night, Qu Yong, who had escaped and was caught, was very righteous. He stretched his neck and shouted: "Brother, you killed me, but I will still be your brother in 18 years. I don't blame you!"

"Don't make things difficult for the brothers. I'm the only one who caused the trouble and I spent the money. Don't whip them. Just replace the bullets for me!"

Damn!
Xu Chaoyang was so angry that he raised his hand again and pulled the trigger at Qu Yong without any hesitation. However, Yang Jingyu had sharp eyes and quickly pushed him again, causing the gun to burst into the sky.

That night, the whole company cried for their parents. The whole regiment looked at Xu Chaoyang's integrity.

That night, after learning that Xu Chaoyang had almost killed his brothers, the 217th Regiment was terrified of him. The Northwest Army, which normally didn't take the first company seriously, started to greet Xu Chaoyang, and they had to politely say, "Lieutenant Xu, are you busy?"

That night, as soon as the play started, Old Huang cursed, "Fuck!" and turned back to the barracks, humming the lyrics. If you listen carefully, the lyrics are very famous, from an excerpt from "Gathering of Heroes", singing about Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai.

That night, when the eunuch in the brothel was about to run away from the military camp by following the wall, Yang Jingyu threw a bag of silver dollars in front of him.

Wow.

A bag of silver dollars fell to the ground. Yang Jingyu stared into the eyes of the turtle slave and said, "Send your people to the Xu family shack in Nangang, Harbin to inquire and ask the local security guard why the silver dollars are gone. Oh!" After that, Yang Jingyu turned and left, staring at the silver dollars that the turtle slave had told him, not knowing whether he should take them or not.

The night finally passed, as Xu Chaoyang whipped Qu Yong himself, hanging him up and whipping him, leaving wounds all over his back...

When it was bright, Clemens appeared at the gate of the military camp with his hands behind his back.

He didn't just get up very early, he didn't sleep at all last night!
Ever since the telegram was sent out yesterday, they have been waiting for a reply from the other party based on the time difference between the two places. Their commercial radio station finally received a reply from the German side in the early morning. The German content was... uh, let's translate it into Chinese... It's feasible, do it quickly!

These four words kept Clemens awake all night and he waited until dawn!

Even so, Clemens kept reminding himself to stay calm, and after finishing his breakfast while enduring the inner torment, he appeared at the gate of the military camp. Unexpectedly, he ran into Xu Chaoyang who was leading his horse and planning to go out for a stroll.

"Captain Xu." Clemens looked at Xu Chaoyang with a big smile on his face. What he saw was no longer a soldier in uniform, but the world domination of Clemens Mining after it changed its signboard and changed its name to 'East India Company'!

Xu Chaoyang ignored him and walked out along the street with his horse. Clemens followed and asked, "Doesn't Captain Xu usually bring guards with him?"

"Are you going to commit murder?"

Xu Chaoyang turned around and glared at Clemens.

Clemens quickly waved his hand: "No, I mean, Duolun is in a mess now..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Xu Chaoyang stop, Clemens calmed down and said, "Yesterday, after you went back, one of your officers told me something. He said that the 217th Regiment was going to mortgage all the mineral resources in Duolun in exchange for guns and ammunition sufficient to fight against the Japanese army..."

"If that's the case, I think you don't need to continue contacting Mauser. We can talk."

Xu Chaoyang looked puzzled: "We?"

"Yeah, we can talk."

"Clemens Mining paid for the purchase of weapons and ammunition from Mauser and shipped them to Duolun. The 217th Regiment mortgaged Duolun's mineral resources to us, Clemens Mining, and we developed them and used them to pay for the replacement of weapons and the replenishment of ammunition reserves."

Xu Chaoyang frowned and asked, "Do you know what I want?"

"G98, Mauser C96, any weapon produced by Mauser, we can negotiate, including 7.92 ammunition."

“Hahahahahaha…” After Xu Chaoyang laughed, he said to Clemens, “Go home and play!”

After saying that, he climbed onto the horse.

Clemens immediately stopped in front of the horse and said, "Captain Xu, am I wrong?"

"You are not a soldier, I don't blame you." After Xu Chaoyang got on the horse, he pressed his elbows on the saddle and said while bending over: "Today's battlefield is no longer just the world of rifles, we also need cannons!"

"I was in Tongliao and was almost killed by the Japanese infantry artillery."

"To deal with this kind of cannon, there is no one in the whole country who can match it..." Xu Chaoyang pointed the whip in his hand at Clemens and said, "But you have it."

Now it was Clemens' turn to wonder: "We have?"

"Yes, you do!"

"Your Rheinmetall company is secretly researching a new infantry gun. I don't know what it's called yet, but this infantry gun is small, easy to carry, light in weight, has a fast rate of fire, and can hit the target accurately..."

"If you really have connections and really want to discuss this deal, you might as well ask around. If you don't have the skills, don't bother me. I won't discuss anything with incompetent people... Go!"

Xu Chaoyang stopped his horse and urged it to charge forward. Clemens could no longer stop him and had to move aside. While staggering, he watched the other party raise a trail of dust.
