War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 217: The Big Chess Game of the Little People! (Thanks to '朝夕巴巴' for the reward!)

Duolun, regiment headquarters.

"Captain Wang, commendation from the Zhangjiakou military!"

Under the night sky, several oil lamps flickered. Wang Changhai stared at the battle situation on the map and had no desire to sleep.

But why did Zhangjiakou come to reward us again?
"Read!"

"Yes!"

The soldier opened the commendation order and read it in the hall: "Xu Chaoyang's unit of the 217th Regiment properly supported the 41st Army's evacuation from Chifeng, and cooperated with the 41st Army to annihilate the Tanimoto Regiment of the 41th Division and the 29th Brigade that was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the st Army. His bravery in combat boosted the morale of our th Army, brought honor to our Chinese people, and avenged the country between Chifeng and Weichang..."

The more Wang Changhai listened, the more he felt something was wrong. How could Xu Chaoyang have achieved merit again?

Let’s put aside whether he has made any contribution or not. When did this guy get connected with Sun Damazi of the 41st Army?

It’s not that Wang Changhai has deep-rooted sectarianism in his mind, he just really can’t figure it out!
How could he know how carefully Xu Chaoyang had planned before doing this?

First, Yang Jingyu and Sun Jingui were both from Henan; second, before Yang Jingyu informed Sun Jingui, he led Sun Jingui's reconnaissance company to explore the location of the Japanese army, so Sun Damazi couldn't help but believe it. Without these two prerequisites, how could you expect Sun Damazi to cooperate with you in ambush the Japanese?

Why should the commander of the 41st Army listen to you?

After completely annihilating the Japanese, Xu Chaoyang revealed his plan to turn around and kill Zhang Haipeng. Every step he took was...

"Wang Tuan?"

Wang Changhai raised his head under the oil lamp and looked at "that soldier".

"And a commendation."

"besides?"

Wang Changhai swallowed hard and said, "Read it."

"A commendation from the Peking Military Branch!"

Beiping Military Branch? ?

Did you hear all this?!

Wang Changhai quickly took a look at the map and understood everything instantly.

We have to go straight to the top to hear it. The whole Rehe battlefield was in a mess but no such great results were achieved. Once the news of the complete annihilation of an entire Japanese regiment is reported, it will be the most exciting news on the Rehe battlefield.

Could the Peking Military Branch not issue a commendation?

This commendation shows that Xu Chaoyang did not contribute much in this battle, and that the real contributor was the 41st Army, otherwise it would not just be a commendation.

So, when the commendation from the Peking Military Branch arrived in Zhangjiakou, could the old man Song Zheyuan just stand there in a daze?

Can Xiao Liuzi still be the good guy?
The commendation from the Zhangjiakou Military Headquarters was issued together with the commendation from the Peking Military Branch.

The moment Wang Changhai frowned, he felt that since he was released by Xu Chaoyang, he, the head of the 217th Regiment, seemed to be overshadowed by him. But if you don't pass on such exciting news, it would be unreasonable...

"Inform the entire group."

"Yes."

"Wait a moment!"

After Wang Changhai finished speaking, he took out a fountain pen from his jacket pocket, wrote on the paper, and handed it to the soldier, saying, "Just mention the commendations from the Beiping Military Branch and the Zhangjiakou Military Headquarters, and focus on reading out the commendations from the 217th Regiment. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

After saying this, Wang Changhai looked at the map again and placed a small stone on the map near the same paddock as the 41st Army, muttering, "What on earth does Xu Chaoyang want to do?" "Report!"

"Enter!"

"Report from the 217th Regiment's direct battalion."

Swish!
Wang Changhai raised his head instantly, and the light of the oil lamp was still flickering on his face.

An Oroqen soldier stood at the entrance of the regiment and said with his head raised: "Our battalion commander reported to Captain Wang that Zhang Haipeng's troops have already settled in Lindong and are ready to go to Duolun at any time..."

"what!"

The situation in Rehe is in chaos right now. If the Japanese really use the puppet Manchukuo troops to inflict such a defeat, how miserable would Wang Changhai be?

"Commander." The Oroqen soldier immediately came to the table and said, "The battalion commander said that Zhang Haipeng's troops are still using the old Fengtian clique's equipment, which is far inferior to our newly arrived German equipment. Instead of waiting for him to break in, we might as well take down our weapons first."

Wang Changhai hooked his finger at the Oroqen soldier and said, "Come, show me on the map."

"Commander, I don't know the map!"

"Fuck you!" Wang Changhai started cursing. He felt that Xu Chaoyang was getting less and less capable of doing things. You sent someone who didn't know the map to convey military intelligence. How could he make it clear?
"But I have a good memory. I can remember every word the battalion commander said!"

"Speak!" Wang Changhai responded unhappily.

"The battalion commander said that our troops will go to Lindong to provoke, pretending that they don't know that Zhang Haipeng's troops have arrived, and engage in a firefight with them outside the city to lure them out of the city to pursue them."

"Please ask Captain Wang to leave a small number of people to guard the city and lead the team to 'Lindong' and be ready to respond at any time."

"At that time, once our regiment's direct battalion arrived, the ambush that the 217th Regiment had been practicing for half a year was quickly formed, giving Zhang Haipeng the first blow and crushing his spirit."

He recited the order very seriously, but suddenly smiled: "The battalion commander said that we can't give all the military merits to outsiders. The 217th Regiment is our own people, and any benefits must be sent home first."

Then he straightened his body, stood at attention and said again: "The puppet Manchukuo troops have no will to fight. After their fighting spirit is dampened, they will feel that our strong resistance has become a waste of time for them, and they will retreat!"

Snapped!
Wang Changhai suddenly slammed the table and glared at the soldier in front of him: "What does Xu Chaoyang mean? If you send a letter to the 41st Regiment, you will annihilate an entire Japanese regiment, but if you send intelligence to me, it will only be a 'repel'?"

"At that time, the 41st Army will come back to block Zhang Haipeng's way. Our 217th Regiment and the 41st Army will attack from the front and back and slaughter all of Zhang Haipeng's troops outside Duolun!"

"Oh~~"

Wang Changhai dragged out the word and entered the thinking stage.

He had to consider the feasibility of this matter: "What if..."

"The battalion commander said that the 41st Army has retreated from Weichang to Chahar. The Japanese army cannot control the movement of the 41st Army, so they dare not easily enter Chahar. Therefore, Captain Wang does not have to worry about the th Division in Chifeng making any moves to threaten our Duolun. After annihilating a regiment of the devils, the th Division cannot easily open the front line, otherwise, they cannot guarantee the results of the Rehe campaign."

"We can take this opportunity to make a quick decision and get rid of Zhang Haipeng."

"Report!!!"

As they were talking, a scout patrolling the border quickly reported: "Captain Wang, we have found traces of the 41st Army on the border!"

Xu Chaoyang!
In Wang Changhai's mind, these three words were gradually magnifying. It seemed that this man had the entire battlefield of Chahar and Rehe in his heart. Through his small force, he mobilized the 41st Army and the 217th Regiment to fight back and forth.

He started from one corner, guessed the enemy's intention, and led the 217th Regiment to train ambush tactics and firepower coordination for a full six months in advance. No one knew how long he had been playing this game of chess, but from the results, every step this kid took was like dancing on the tip of the devil's knife, and he could dance with great force!
If Wang Changhai was conservative, then Xu Chaoyang and his hundreds of men would definitely not be able to withstand Zhang Haipeng's pursuit, and being eaten up would be a matter of time. At that time, it would not be a pincer attack on Zhang Haipeng, but Zhang Haipeng would open the door to Chahar, and Sun Damazi of the 41st Army who retreated from Chifeng would help you fill in the gaps.

Then what kind of person has Wang Changhai become? He is jealous of talented people!
If you go...

No matter how Wang Changhai thought about it, he felt awkward, being controlled by such a person, and a sense of powerlessness emerged from the bottom of his heart. In the end, he had to take a slap in the face like a sweet date, and Xu Chaoyang said to him: "Wang Tuan, how about the credit I gave you?"

Why are you making so much noise?
　Thanks to 'Chaoxi Baba' for the reward, I am grateful a thousand times!
