War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 209 It’s all his fault!
Zhangjiakou.

Military Department.

On Song Zheyuan's desk was the latest battle situation. The Japanese 17th Division had already overcome its biggest obstacle, the 38th Brigade, and was heading straight for Chifeng. The 38th Division started fighting with the th Brigade in Beipiao and Nanling, and under the bombing of planes and tanks, it launched several attacks on the th Brigade but was repelled all the time.

Fortunately, Dong Futing did not betray this time; unfortunately, the commander of the 38th Brigade, Shao Benliang, was bribed by the Japanese army and surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield!
On the battlefield, the enemy's surrender dealt a heavy blow to the 38th Brigade, causing Nanling and Beipiao to fall one after another. The 38th Brigade had no choice but to retreat to the defense line in the western suburbs of Chaoyang, and the th Division took a big step forward.

But even so, Shao Benliang's rebellion still triggered a chain reaction. During the retreat to the western suburbs of Chaoyang, another battalion of the 38th Brigade rebelled, luring the enemy deep into the territory. The 38th Brigade suffered heavy casualties, and Chaoyang was completely lost. Chaoyang fell on the 26th.

Two defeats in two battles, many people surrendered to the enemy...

Song Zheyuan was looking at the map of Rehe with worry. Even though he was the commander of the Rehe Campaign, he didn't know how to fight this battle. The most important problem was that everyone looked like a traitor at this time, so who would he dare to send out?

"Report!"

Outside the military headquarters, a soldier rushed over quickly, stood at the door and shouted: "Telegram from the 217th Regiment."

Song Zheyuan then remembered Wang Changhai, who had been left at the border, and said quickly, "Read it!"

"Great victory!"

These two words were like mustard in Song Zheyuan's mouth, clearing away all the depressed emotions in his head. He smiled and said, "Keep reading!"

"In order to gather information from the front line, our army sent Xu's army to Lindong;"

"Xu's troops encountered the 17th Brigade of the rebel enemy and won!"

"Destroyed more than 17 enemies, killed one regiment commander; Cui Xingwu, dead; th Brigade, defeated!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Song Zheyuan frantically slapped the tabletop covered with green velvet with his hands, his face full of excitement, and shouted at the military headquarters: "Look, everyone, look!"

"Look at my subordinates, and then look at their subordinates!"

Song Zheyuan excitedly pointed at the soldier and the chair at the door: "Sit there and continue reading."

He calmed himself down, thinking that with such a great victory, the losses must have been huge. This guy had read out all the good things first, so wouldn't the rest be the bad ones?

"Don't be afraid. Report the casualties of the 217th Regiment. One regiment against one brigade. Even if we kill all of them, I'll still have some pride!"

The soldier suddenly raised his head and said, "No more..."

No?

Song Zheyuan looked at the soldier, and the soldier quickly handed over the translated version of the telegram: "It just says 'Xu Chaoyang has outstanding military achievements, and is the battalion commander of the Shensheng Regiment', that's all."

"damn it!"

When Song Zheyuan looked at the battle report, he didn't know where to look. There was not a single unnecessary word on the entire piece of paper.

"chief of staff!"

Song Zheyuan shouted, and someone in the room stood up: "Find it for me, find the transfer application of the 217th Regiment. It must be that Wang Changhai couldn't wait for the military's order to be approved, so he transferred the troops to Lindong himself. Otherwise, how could the 217th Regiment appear in Lindong?"

"Find it quickly!"

The chief of staff searched for a long time among the military reports submitted by various units, but could not find even one report about the 217th Regiment. He finally found one: "General!"

Song Zheyuan took the report and saw the content of the report submitted by the 217th Regiment to request the use of the "Army Repair Shop": "Isn't this from half a year ago?"

The chief of staff shook his head like a rattle and said, "That's gone. Really gone."

Song Zheyuan glared at the chief of staff: "Then I'm going to take out the tortoise shell and tell your fortune? Ah!"

"I don't know what happened. I won't send anyone to the 217th Regiment or Lindong to investigate!"

"You go home, fucking, let me teach you how to have sex with your wife, whether you need it or not!"

"say!!!"

Song Zheyuan's big mouth opened and closed as if he was about to eat the chief of staff. He was so scared that he turned around and ran out of the military headquarters. He didn't even dare to ask the messenger to pass the order, and went to the reconnaissance battalion to assign tasks. Song Zheyuan looked at the map and the victory report sent by the 217th Regiment. He couldn't understand it no matter how hard he looked. Lindong was more than kilometers away from Duolun, nearly a thousand miles away. No matter how fierce Wang Changhai was, he would not dare to push the entire regiment's troops so deep into the Rehe battlefield. If something happened, he couldn't come back, and the whole Rehe would be taken advantage of by the Sixth Division.

Once Duolun is lost, the gate to Chahar will be completely open. Will the Japanese invaders not be able to march straight in?
No, absolutely not!
But they just won a great victory, it doesn't seem good to start scolding them right away...

Song Zheyuan was in a difficult situation and could only yell at the people around him: "Investigate! Investigate for me!"

He didn't even dare to sleep, fearing that he would miss something. He waited in the military headquarters for two days and two nights. Here, he asked someone to send a telegram to the 217th Regiment, and at the other end, he sent scouts deep into the battlefield...

Finally, in the early morning of the third day, the telegram came.

"Report, the 217th Regiment called back!"

This time Song Zheyuan didn't need to give any instructions. As soon as he looked up, the soldier read out: "The 217th Regiment has not been mobilized. Only the Chaoyang Division is allowed to go to Lindong."

"Bullshit!"

Song Zheyuan didn't believe it at all and turned his face away.

Xu Chaoyang knew that he was a good fighter, but a company fighting an entire brigade, what a joke!
"Report!!!"

The second soldier rushed into the military headquarters and started shouting from outside the door: "The 217th Regiment is still stationed in Duolun and has not been transferred. The reconnaissance soldiers sent by our unit to the front line reported in Duolun that Xu Chaoyang's unit gathered the scattered soldiers of Liu Zhendong, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, who were defeated by the Japanese army, in Lindong, and used the Lindong city wall to defeat the 17th Brigade... It's true!"

true!

Song Zheyuan didn't know what to say.

A company went out, a company that was originally sent to scout the enemy, gathered the remnants of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and turned back to defeat a brigade? A brigade!

If people say this, will others think that Song Zheyuan is crazy?
But why the hell don't I tell others about this kind of achievement made by my own soldiers? Why don't I make the Northwest Army famous!

"Somebody come!"

Song Zheyuan was desperate, and shouted to the outside of the door: "Report to the Beiping Military Branch, report to the Ministry of National Defense, report the 217th Regiment's telegram and our verification report as is, and write Xu Chaoyang's name clearly on the battle report. I don't want to see the title of Xu Bu, Xu Lieutenant, etc., you must write Xu Chaoyang, the battalion commander. No, write Xu Chaoyang, the battalion commander of the 29th Army's 217th Regiment, and don't change a single word!"

"Damn it, I never thought that after coming out of the northwest, I would have the courage to speak loudly one day!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Come on, heat up a pot of wine for me!"

Song Zheyuan was so happy that he had never seen such a record in his life!
"Also, where is that kid now?"

The two soldiers standing at the door looked at each other, and neither dared to speak.

The cigarette in Song Zheyuan's mouth even shook, and a lot of ashes fell off.

He was a little scared, afraid that something might happen to that bastard, but if he hadn't wiped out all his troops, how could he have achieved such a result?
"The person is gone?" Song Zheyuan's voice was shaking as he asked the question.

The soldier could only answer: "When the scouts arrived at Lindong, it had become an empty city with no one stationed there. From the traces of the battle between the 17th Brigade and Xu Chaoyang's troops, it seemed that there was no fighting back... In addition, the report of the 217th Regiment said that Xu Chaoyang's troops had already arrived..."

"Where has he gone?"

"Chifeng..." the soldier said this in the smallest voice.

Song Zheyuan was stunned.

Chifeng.

Sun Damazi's station...

What is this kid going to do?

"General, wine."

When his men came over with the wine, Song Zheyuan glared at them and cursed, "Why are you drinking wine at this time? We are fighting a war, don't you know?"
