War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 204: The Battalion Commander of the Regiment's Direct Battalion! (Thanks to 'Huaijinwuyu9787' for the 500 reward!)

"WTF!"

Lin Dong.

When Chang Zhan, relying on the clear and bright "commander's order" to gather more than a hundred defeated soldiers to attack Dashuyingzi and head towards Chifeng, returned, Lin Dong had already changed.

Originally, the company had only more than a hundred people, but now it has more than four hundred people. Yang Jingyu and Yu Minghao, who went to the south and north of Dashuyingzi to gather the defeated soldiers, have already returned. Only Chang Zhan, who went to the west of Dashuyingzi, came back the last.

"Old Yang, look, Old Chang is back."

Chang Zhan, who had just arrived in Lindong, saw at a glance that Jia Qin, who replaced Qu Yong to command the third platoon, was setting up a defense line outside Lindong. Of the soldiers in the entire old first company, only 30 or 40 were still in the original organization, and the rest...

"Old Chang, go and have a rest. You will be the company commander as soon as you wake up."

Company commander?

Old Chang looked at it in confusion, and Yang Jingyu said, "Don't you understand?"

"This time, we have gathered 371 defeated soldiers from Liu Zhen's eastern camp in Dashuyingzi. You must have more than 100 people behind you, right?"

"Chaoyang's intention is to completely disband our old first company and disrupt the organizational structure of all the defeated troops, and reorganize the first, second, and third companies. Soldiers from the old first company will serve as squad and platoon leaders to train and reorganize all the defeated anti-Japanese and national salvation troops..."

Chang Zhan seemed not to understand: "Old Yang, it's true that we've become rich, but a..." He lowered his voice and said to Yang Jingyu: "A company commander has set up the first, second and third companies under his command. Will the higher-ups agree?"

"Why don't you agree?"

Yang Jingyu reached into his pocket and said, "I have an order from the higher-ups. Why don't they agree?"

Chang Zhan rolled his eyes and responded, "Even if you say you have a handwritten letter from Lao He from the Ministry of National Defense, I will believe it!"

“Hahahaha, go and take a rest.” Yang Jingyu pushed him along the shoulder and shouted to the group of people behind him, “Which department are you from? Come over here and register with me!”

"Unit number, weapons and equipment, number of remaining bullets, grenades..."

"Line up, stand still!"

Yu Minghao was rectifying the military discipline nearby. After he shouted, the soldiers of the Second Company, who had been traveling for two days and two nights, finally perked up a little and stood in front of the table at the gate of Lindong City, registering one by one.

Chang Zhan had already staggered into Lindong. He didn't even need to ask where the garrison was. He could just follow the traces of the soldiers.

Lindong, the rich man’s compound.

Xu Chaoyang requisitioned this place as his temporary residence. It was not because Xu Chaoyang could not endure hardship. Quite the contrary, after leading his men to live in the wilderness too many times, he found that some people really did not deserve to live in houses.

Let's talk about the rich man in Lindong. Before Xu Chaoyang came, he just asked about this family. The honest farmer who was working in the field complained for half an hour. The farmer just borrowed some money from the rich man when he married his daughter-in-law. He didn't know how the interest was calculated. After a year, not only his land but also his house belonged to him. If you go to the government to sue, you can't win the case...

Isn't it? A family with a house and land suddenly became a poor family that had to rent land and house from others, and the newly married daughter-in-law was worried every day at home.

After hearing this, Xu Chaoyang realized that the rich people of this era seemed to be robbing the poor of their money. After robbing the poor, they would turn the poor into farmhands who would work for them forever and would not be satisfied until they had exploited them for their entire lives.

Don’t you like to rob?

After Xu Chaoyang led his men into Lindong, he directly blocked the door of the rich man's house, placed a machine gun at the door, and pulled the trigger at the gate. After firing a whole magazine of bullets, when the rich man came out of the yard trembling with his servants holding sticks, he said, "Prepare some food, we are hungry, but I don't eat beef!"

Just like that, a group of evil soldiers occupied the rich man's courtyard and property, and when Xu Chaoyang searched the courtyard and found countless IOUs and indentures and burned them at the gate of the courtyard...

It seems like I understand why our party and our army are so popular.

The moment he burned those things, everyone was crying, silently shedding tears, as if the gunshot just now was no longer important. They were completely unaware that those who were running away and surrounding the old rich man's house were crying as they watched Xu Chaoyang light the fire and burn those documents.

What Xu Chaoyang burned was not their debts, but the pain and suffering they had to endure after owing money. He burned the sadness of these ordinary people who were unwilling to pay more money, but were bound by the "morality" of "paying debts", and had to pay off their debts year after year and day after day. Logically speaking, it is only natural to pay back debts; logically speaking, as long as the interest is clearly stated to you, you have to pay the interest if you can't pay it back, and this is the law of the contract...

But reason, contract and law cannot crush the lives of ordinary people and force them to have no living space.

Xu Chaoyang's burning was not a big deal, but it had stirred up a hornet's nest. After the silent crying of the common people, an elderly man stood up and shouted, "General...General!"

"Sir, Mr. Fang broke my son's leg when he was collecting debts. Do you care?"

Another woman stood up and cried, "Sir, it's not just Mr. Fang, but Qu Dabo has also occupied two ridges of our land. My husband went to argue with them, but he was beaten so badly that he still can't get up from the kang!"

This Lin Dong, the bully, colluded with the rich man, leaving the common people with nowhere to file a complaint!
The Japanese are rampant outside, if you want to vent your anger and live like a human being...

Xu Chaoyang seemed to know where so many traitors came from. In this damn world, you can't live comfortably for even a day unless you become a devil.

Damn!
Xu Chaoyang pulled out a rifle from his waist and shot the rich man Fang. He shouted to Liu Gener, "Bring that guy named Qu back. Shoot him." He turned around and looked at the rest of the people in the firelight, "From today on, the occupied land and farmland will be taken back by whoever owns it. Go back and live an honest life!"

He is not here to be a judge, but if he can help the common people vent their anger, Xu Chaoyang will never be stingy. After all, he is already covered in blood and mud along the way, so even if he has wronged someone, he can bear the responsibility.

Just like that, on the first day Xu Chaoyang arrived in Lindong, he spent two hours calming the public anger, occupied the courtyard of Mr. Fang's house as a garrison, and began to wait for the people who went to Dashuyingzi to gather the defeated soldiers to return, calculating how many people they could bring back for him and how to use these people to maximize their effectiveness.

I was thinking... when Cui Xingwu retreated to Lindong, I would attack him secretly, give this guy a blow with a club, and beat him so hard that his face would be covered with peach blossoms!

……

Duolun, regiment headquarters.

A fast horse galloped in from outside the city. When it arrived at the regiment headquarters, the man jumped off the horse and rushed into the regiment headquarters, shouting: "Report!!!"

The soldiers of the first company entered the regiment headquarters and said loudly in front of several officers gathered around the map: "The first company of the first battalion reported that Cui Xingwu, who was resisting the Japanese troops in the Tongliao direction, rebelled. Liu Zhendong was ambushed by the Japanese army. Dashuyingzi fell and Liu Zhendong was killed. Most of the remaining defeated soldiers fled to Chifeng. When a few of them went to Cui Xingwu, they were blocked outside the city by Cui Xingwu. No troops were allowed to enter the city for rest. Our troops had to enter Lindong in advance to gather the defeated soldiers!"

Gather the defeated troops?

Old Huang raised his head immediately. He didn't think this was right. "Captain Wang, how can Xu Chaoyang gather the defeated soldiers? With that uniform, which Northeast Army soldier would listen to him?"

"oops!"

Wang Changhai suddenly remembered and slammed the table hard: "Doesn't he have a notebook?"

"Captain Wang, the company commander ordered me to report that the total number of our troops in Lindong has reached 500. I want to ask Captain Wang what to do next."

five hundred!

Wang Changhai's eyes kept darting around, but suddenly he stopped, put his hands behind his back and said, "Pass the order!"

"The 29th Army's 217th Regiment appointed Xu Chaoyang as the battalion commander of the regiment's direct battalion. He was ordered by the 217th Regiment's commander Wang Changhai to gather the defeated troops in Lindong. After the mission is completed, he must return to the base as soon as possible and garrison Duolun. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned and looked at Wang Changhai.

They had no objection to promoting Xu Chaoyang. When the military commander appointed him as the chief instructor, he should have been promoted. But you didn't promote him at that time. Now you suddenly promote him. What does this mean?
Wang Changhai glanced at it and said, "You still don't understand?"

"If I don't give him a promotion, this guy will hang around in Rehe, gather a thousand or eight hundred defeated soldiers, and then come back. It's really hard to say whether the 217th Regiment will be named Xu or Wang!"

　Thanks to brother 'Huaijinwuyu9787' for the reward of 500. Thank you very much!
