War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 222 Different Ways of Writing Love
This was a battle that had never existed in history, which meant that Xu Chaoyang no longer had any records to check.

The true history is that after Cui Xingwu retreated to Lindong, Zhang Haipeng led his troops to attack in a pretend manner. As soon as the two met, Cui Xingwu formally surrendered and no longer had to act as an undercover agent in the Northeast Army.

But in history, Cui Xingwu was not only beaten to death by Xu Chaoyang, he also went to fight Lin Dong again and gave Zhang Haipeng a kick.

This kick almost shattered the Si Tuan organization ten miles outside Lindong City. When the gunfire rang out, the Si Tuan puppet soldiers wished their parents had given them two more legs, and turned around and ran back.

The problem was that just when the entire battalion was preparing to shoot at moving targets, Xu Chaoyang led his team out and chased after the regiment commander with rifles equipped with bayonets!

When the whole battalion was rejoicing over the victory and preparing to clean up the battlefield...

"Don't touch any grass or tree on the battlefield!"

"Company and platoon, return to our positions, withdraw your bullets and abandon your guns!"

This time even Yang Jingyu was confused!
"Chaoyang, we just won the battle!"

Xu Chaoyang turned around and said, "What's wrong with winning? Only by winning can you give up your gun."

"Old Yang, think about it. If we win this battle and are chased away by this regiment, what will we do with Zhang Haipeng?"

Yang Jingyu thought for a while, and suddenly looked at Xu Chaoyang in a daze.

This kid is so bad!

Regardless of whether Zhang Haipeng sends more people over, he has to be careful this time and send someone to scout first.

When the scouts arrived, they saw that the bodies were untouched and there were many abandoned guns without bullets on the blocking positions. The first thing they would report was: "Xu's troops are low on ammunition!"

Xu Chaoyang then said: "What if I throw the cannon on the top of the mountain again?"

This time, Old Yang even learned to answer quickly: "Zhang Haipeng will definitely be there!"

Xu Chaoyang was happy.

"The entire battalion should retreat thirty miles and use the remaining ammunition to continue blocking the enemy at Erdaokan!" He had to let Zhang Haipeng catch up. If he couldn't, how could these puppet troops have the heart to pursue them for a hundred miles?
Xu Chaoyang stared at the direction of Lin Dong in the distance, thinking to himself: "You take me for a kid, don't you? I scold you, and you don't care, right? I kick you, and you let your men chase you, right? This time it's settled, I'll pick up a brick and smash your glass in the middle of the night!"

"Everyone, retreat quickly!"

Xu Chaoyang turned and walked away. When he passed by the second sister who was holding two bayonets, he kicked her in the buttocks: "Why are you running?"

"After I said 'charge', no one could catch up with me. Who told you to charge?"

The second sister was holding two bayonets and raised one of them with a wronged look on her face: "Boss..." She meant to say 'there is no blood on the knife', but Xu Chaoyang ignored her and walked away.

Man Guangzhi came over and said, "Sister, I told you that the battalion commander is sick. He heard my name before and glared at me for no reason. Now he started scolding you again. Why?"

"Can't you hear what the battalion commander said?"

"The entire battalion must retreat urgently. Target: the second pass thirty miles away. Quick!"

Yang Jingyu roared and Chang Zhan gathered the troops. Yu Minghao quickly asked his men to put back all the things they had collected. The entire 217th Regiment turned around and left. When they passed the hillside next to them, the dozens of people and Tong Meng on it returned to the team like a stream flowing into the sea.

"Scholar, have you finished firing the shells?"

Tong Meng had lost his gentle temperament and was tanned. "How can I spoil it?"

Yang Jingyu ran past them quickly and caught up with Xu Chaoyang. After watching the law enforcement team gather the team together, he said, "Chaoyang, it's a pity to have so many Liao 13-style weapons."

"Have you changed your mind?" Xu Chaoyang asked him directly during the march: "After we defeat Zhang Haipeng, how many Liao 13-style weapons do you need?"

"But..." Xu Chaoyang said these two words, curled his lips and laughed, and stopped talking. Yang Jingyu quickly asked: "But what?"

Xu Chaoyang continued, "After this incident, I finally understand how great it is to command a corps in battle."

"You're having a great time. We almost broke our legs from running!" Yang Jingyu cursed with a smile, but he still couldn't bear to say even a dirty word to Xu Chaoyang.

"Old Yang, when do you think we can have a corps of soldiers to fight a real battle? Even a regiment will do!"

"I tell you, after this incident, I finally realized how many issues a commander has to consider."

"I have to think of every possible way to make the 41st Army obedient. I have to figure out what to do to force Wang Changhai to join the game. Half a year! I have been thinking about this for a full half a year!"

Xu Chaoyang did not lie. Since entering Duolun, all he thought about was the Rehe Campaign.

How to start disrupting the situation in Rehe, how to mobilize resources that do not belong to him, how to make the 217th regiment under his control, he was unable to sleep all night, and he had to train with the 217th regiment during the day...

That's it!

Xu Chaoyang was still taking the open-book test with the script. He couldn't imagine how those generals who took closed-book tests and still ranked at the top of the 'Heavenly List' managed to fight their way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

No wonder there are folk rumors that this one is the reincarnation of Wenquxing and that one is some other star. In the era when Xu Chaoyang lived, the people who were far away from these people worshipped them in a completely different way from that in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1960s and 1970s, at least some people had seen these high-ranking generals, but in their era, they could only deify them.

But, is this really superstition?
Are those who like Guan Yu and worship him as the Holy Lord Guandi really superstitious?
Don’t they know that Guan Yu is just a human?
It was not until after Xu Chaoyang joined the army that he realized that this was not necessarily the case. Oftentimes, ordinary people did not know how to respect others, so they made up stories about them and deified them, thinking that only in this way could they be worthy of their achievements.

Just like the Jiangsu and Zhejiang troops that were defeated in the Battle of Songhu, Xu Chaoyang heard his second uncle say after drinking that they were the 108 generals of Liangshan Marsh who were reincarnated to atone for their sins and fight against the Japanese invaders. But in fact, it was not the case. They were just ordinary people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who sacrificed their lives for the country.

But does this prevent ordinary people from deifying them?

Does it prevent ordinary people from worshipping them?

Although Xu Chaoyang is an atheist, he still firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with the people respecting them so much.

The love of the Chinese people does not necessarily have to be translated into words and written on paper. It can be expressed as a myth in people’s mouths, or it can be written as a monument.

……

Zhangjiakou.

Military Department.

Song Zheyuan stared at the military situation with his eyes wide open, confused.

The military intelligence report stated: The 41st Army had entered Chahar, but instead of heading west to Zhangjiakou to find a safe area for preparation, it marched eastward and headed straight for Duolun.

Song Zheyuan couldn't understand what Sun Damazi was going to do. What puzzled him even more was that Xu Chaoyang's troops, who had only started to attract attention after annihilating a Japanese regiment, actually turned around and went back to cause trouble in Lindong!
This kid is just like a child who comes home from school and shouts, "Mom, I'm going out to play. I'll do my homework when I come back." He disappears as soon as he goes out, and he doesn't even think about coming back when it's dark or the meal is ready. I have to go to the yard with a feather duster to look for him and catch him among the kids, causing a mess in the whole neighborhood.

"report!"

"Doron telegram!"

When the communications soldier appeared at the military headquarters with a telegram, Song Zheyuan no longer cared about his identity. He rushed over and snatched the telegram, his face turning pale as he read it in the sunlight at the door.

After reading the telegram, he said: "This kid needs to be beaten!"

After saying this, he turned into a fierce curse: "Otherwise I can't control him anymore!"

If Xu Chaoyang heard this, he would definitely think of the scene when he was beaten as a child. When he was beaten, the neighbors' mode of persuading him was different. People would not say, "The child is still young, stop fighting." Instead, the neighbors who came to persuade him would say, "Just fight for a while, everyone has to go to work tomorrow morning."
