War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 233: Model! (Thanks to '轻笔惊文' for the yuan reward!)

Duolun.

Under the clear sky, the whole of Duolun welcomed the beautiful weather with cloudless and sunny skies. This kind of weather is simply a pleasure in the late winter when spring is approaching, especially the moment when the warm sunshine shines on your body, you feel comfortable all over.

The status of the 217th Regiment and the 41st Army had also changed when they returned to Duolun. The 41st Army had swept away the slump after the defeat in Chifeng, and the soldiers held their heads high and walked briskly; not to mention the 217th Regiment, after having made great contributions, the entire army was filled with joy.

But no one expected that the sky would fall so quickly!

“Award!”

When the 217th Regiment and the 41st Army were on their way back and could already see Duolun from afar, a war horse galloped towards them in the distance.

After the leading truck stopped, Wang Changhai from the 217th Regiment and Sun Damazi, who had already incorporated the captives of Zhang Haipeng's troops into the 41st Army, stepped forward at the same time and walked towards the warhorse in front.

"A commendation from the Peking Military Branch!"

The corners of Sun Damazi's mouth curled up, he knew that this must be good news.

"Commendation from Commander He of the Peking Military Branch!"

Wang Changhai immediately turned around and looked at Xu Chaoyang who was standing with the army not far away... thinking that this kid was about to be on the list...

Chief He?
He froze for a moment.

Then, the messenger shouted: "The day before yesterday, Deputy Commander Zhang of the Beiping Military Branch Headquarters, feeling guilty about the defeat on the Rehe front, sent a telegram to the government to resign."

"Yesterday, the National Government approved the resignation of Deputy Commander Zhang and allowed him to resign from all his posts. Commander He was urgently sent to Beijing to take charge of all important tasks of the Peking Military Branch."

"Today, Commander He flew to the capital and issued several orders, among which the rewards are as follows!"

"The 41st Army's Sun's unit was commended for its bravery in the bloody battle at Chifeng and its courage in completely annihilating the Japanese invaders' Tanimoto's regiment when retreating to Weichang; the 41st Army returned to Lindong in a timely manner and wiped out Zhang Haipeng's unit quickly."

"Promoted. Commander Sun is the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Corps. He will be stationed in Chaharduolun temporarily to keep the Japanese Sixth Division out. Do not relax."

"A commendation goes to Xu Chaoyang, a member of the 29th Regiment, 37th Brigade, 109th Division, 217th Army, for his outstanding military exploits. He first defeated Cui Xingwu's troops, then went deep into Rehe to cooperate with the 41st Army to wipe out the Tanimoto Regiment, and then led Zhang Haipeng's troops to leave Lindong and lead them into the battlefield on the plain. This was truly a great wisdom!"

"Promotion: Captain Xu Chaoyang is promoted to major. His military achievements and positions will be reported by the 29th Army at its discretion."

"Commendation: Wang Changhai, commander of the 29th Regiment, 37th Brigade, 109th Division, 217th Army, for his decisiveness and bravery in leading his troops to attack in the battle of Lindong Plain. Since the war is not over yet, his promotion will be applied for together with Xu Chaoyang by the 29th Army at its discretion."

There is a reason for this commendation. Mr. He has taken charge of the Peking Military Branch. Looking around, he can see that everyone is a self-proclaimed leader that he cannot overthrow. What do you want him to do?

Give Wang Changhai and Xu Chaoyang a direct promotion?

Do you have the final say?
You got promoted, but Song Zheyuan didn't agree. Aren't you just fooling people with empty words?

But you can't even ignore the achievements Xu Chaoyang has made along the way. He can only promote his military rank by one level. As for the rest, let the 29th Army apply for it themselves. It's their own business anyway.

When it comes to Sun Damazi of the 41st Army, the situation is completely different!

Sun Damazi did not come to Rehe for promotion or wealth, or rather, he did not come there solely for promotion or wealth. He came there to whitewash himself. His idea was to tell the whole world that "Sun Jingui is also a man of steel and is not just a grave digger."

So it's easy to deal with Sun Damazi. Just say whatever is good to him and let him garrison in Duolun. On the one hand, this can prevent the Sixth Division from marching to Chahar and making the National Government unable to react in time. On the other hand, Sun Damazi and Song Zhe have a good personal relationship, so it's understandable to borrow the land for rest.

The most important thing is that there is nothing wrong with doing this.

After all, you, Song Zheyuan, have already ordered the Zhao Brigade to be recalled, so there must be someone stationed on the Chadong front line, right?
As for the love, let Song Zheyuan of your 29th Army take charge. You have the final say on the promotion of your subordinates. As for the name, let Sun Damazi take charge. He has officially returned to the regular army from a tomb-raiding lieutenant. If anyone dares to call him a 'gravedigger', Sun Damazi can deal with him by saying, "I dig graves, but I also fight the Japanese. Why don't you try it on the battlefield?"

That makes sense.

Then there is only one thing left: who will get the honor?

"In addition, in view of Xu Chaoyang's merit in killing Cui Xingwu and Zhang Haipeng on the battlefield, the National Government will establish it as a model and promote it nationwide to inspire people's hearts... the determination of our nation to fight against the Japanese invaders..."

model?

model!!
Wang Changhai quits!
Dashuyingzi gathered the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Is that something that ordinary people can do? Lindong defeated Cui Xingwu with a few hundred people. Is that something that ordinary people can do? Going deep into Chifeng and wiping out the Tanimoto Regiment together with the 41st Army, you didn't even give me a penny, set an example? !

Just as Wang Changhai was about to rush over to fight for his men, another warhorse came galloping towards them in the distance.

"Order!"

"Order from the 29th Army Headquarters!"

"The enemy's situation has changed. The 14th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese th Division are preparing. Commander Song suspects that the Japanese army intends to go straight to the passes of the Great Wall. He has ordered the Zhao Brigade stationed in Chahar Duolun to return to the pass to defend the Great Wall!"

"The train from Guannei to Duolun will arrive soon. Please board the train quickly after the preparations are completed. Do not delay!"

Before Wang Changhai could say a word, the third horse rushed towards him from the front!

"Military order, order from the Peking Military Branch!"

The horse rushed to the front of the crowd, and the messenger dismounted and said anxiously: "The 14th Brigade has already moved south from Jianchang and occupied Lama Cave. They may attack Lengkou at any time."

"The headquarters of the Peking Military Branch ordered that the entire army's battle line be adjusted to focus on defending the Great Wall. The 40th and 50th Armies of the First Group Army, led by Pang Bingxun and Yu Xuezhong, will guard Tanggu; the 32nd Army of Shangzhen and the 57th Army of He Zhuguo of the Second Corps will focus on defending Lengkou; the 53rd Army of Wan Fulin, who withdrew from Rehe, will assist in defending Xifengkou;"

"Commander Song of the 29th Army guards Xifengkou; Zhang Zuoxiang's Sixth Army, behind the Fifth Army and the 41st Army, is stationed in Chahar, followed by Fu Zhuo's 59th Army, and then Commander Li of the Seventh Army and the 61st Army, responsible for the defense of Chahar East."

"In addition, the Eighth Corps in the direction of Beiping, led by General Wang Yizhe's 67th Army and General Xiao Zhichu's 26th Army, advanced to Gubeikou, with General Yang Jie as the commander-in-chief, responsible for the defensive operations in the direction of Gubeikou."

"Gubeikou is the throat fortress connecting the Liaodong Plain and Inner Mongolia to the Central Plains. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, all units must be cautious before starting a war. Do not allow the enemy to penetrate deep into the city for your own reasons, which will increase the pressure on Gubeikou."

As orders were being issued, Yu Minghao asked Lao Yang, "What are you doing?"

"The Beiping Military Branch is mobilizing troops to rely on the Great Wall to block the enemy from entering the country."

"Peking Military Branch?" "Does that count?"

“Why doesn’t it count?”

"I have a dozen orders from the Peking Military Branch in my pocket... Woo! Woo!"

Yu Minghao asked Yang Jingyu to go behind him. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he said softly, "Are you going to die? Theirs is real, but ours was carved out of a carrot. How can it be the same?"

"If this gets out, not only will our heads be gone, Chaoyang won't be any better either!"

"You just say nonsense without knowing the situation!"

In front of the army, Wang Changhai turned back and said very cautiously: "Chaoyang, the war is imminent, now is not the time to fight, but I, Wang Changhai, promise you that I will give you an explanation for your killing of Cui Xingwu and Zhang Haipeng in Rehe."

"Right now, time doesn't allow it."

"Chaoyang, lead your troops back to the regiment headquarters immediately to reorganize and be ready to set off at any time!" Wang Changhai deliberately winked at Xu Chaoyang.

Xu Chaoyang didn't say another word: "I understand!" He just gave the answer.

"Commander, Commander Sun? I'll take you for a moment. I'll lead you and the 41st Army around the Duolun defense zone and give you instructions on defense."

Xu Chaoyang turned around at this moment, shaking his big dumb neck and shouting: "217th Regiment, return to the city, prepare, and run forward!"

When Yu Minghao passed by Xu Chaoyang, Xu Chaoyang pulled him closer and said, "Mouse, go and gather all the flower machines in the camp together."

"Captain, what's up? Aren't we riding bicycles to enter the customs this time?"

"Cut the nonsense!"

"Listen carefully, kid..." Xu Chaoyang lowered his voice and whispered in Yu Minghao's ear, "Leave no one behind in Clemens Company. Force the foreign devils to open the safe. There is a contract signed by Wang Changhai and I in it. Get it back!"

"What if it's not in the safe?"

"Impossible. When you return to the city, go find Altai. He will be in charge of this matter."

Yu Minghao raised his chin instantly: "Captain, isn't Altai injured?"

"You had Chang Zhan hung up and whipped..."

"Why are you talking so much? Why are you talking so much!" Xu Chaoyang slapped him twice on the back of his head. After two slaps, all his problems were cured. He ran out, covering the back of his head, staring at the equipment in the hands of the soldiers, and began to confiscate the machine guns.

"Wang Tianhao!"

Wang Tianhao quietly approached Xu Chaoyang: "Battalion Commander."

Xu Chaoyang also put his arm around his shoulders: "Clemens's exploration data in Duolun, the progress of the mines to be mined, and other documents are all at home. He lives in... Qu Yong is keeping an eye on this matter..."

"understand!"

Before Xu Chaoyang finished speaking, Wang Tianhao had already understood. Xu Chaoyang asked in confusion, "What do you understand?"

"I don't know. I don't know anything. I can calculate. I estimate that there will be a big fire in Toronto today. It is possible that Clemens's house will be in danger."

"You fucking ..." Talking to someone with a good brain is different: "You calculated it pretty accurately!"

"Give me half of the money."

"Battalion Commander, you don't know, when our machine guns stopped firing during the battle, my heart would beat fast..."

How did Xu Chaoyang feel when he found out that he had asked Wang Changhai for bullets? These bastards are really trying to hurt you, picking such an important moment to cause trouble!
"That's not right. Weren't you brought here by Lao Yang?"

"Hahahaha, Battalion Commander, at this time everyone has to take care of themselves."

"Get lost, go find the rat."

"Okay!"

Then, as the 217th Regiment was marching, Xu Chaoyang turned his head to look for the figure of the troops gathering at the rear of the regiment's direct battalion and shouted, "Old Yang!"

"Old Yang!"

Old Yang quickly caught up.

Xu Chaoyang then spoke up and said, "We need to select people who came with us from the Northeast, who have been with us for a long time and are trustworthy, to load the lathes and equipment in the camp..."

Old Yang's eyes suddenly lit up!
"You know better than me where and to whom it should be sent, so I won't ask!"

Xu Chaoyang pointed at Tong Meng in the team and said, "Take this kid with you. He knows how to make our conscienceless cannon and shrapnel shells. Also, take all the banknotes in the camp."

"That's what we need..."

"Chaoyang..." Old Yang looked up at Xu Chaoyang, his eyes full of reluctance.

"What the hell, it's not a life-and-death separation. I'm asking you to go to your parents' house to get things and send money. Why wouldn't you be happy as a married daughter-in-law?"

"But then again, since you've already married our Xu Chaoyang, you can't look for someone else. Remember, I'll be waiting for you at Xifengkou. I'll wait for you until my death. No matter what, you have to come back."

Yang Jingyu kept nodding, and Xu Chaoyang patted him on the arm reluctantly: "Be a good woman."

"Get lost..." Lao Yang had never said a single dirty word to Xu Chaoyang, but this time, he almost blurted it out. He had completely absorbed the habits of this unit and integrated into it, and was expressing the affection between the two sides in this way.

　Thanks to '轻笔惊文' for the 1500 reward. I am so grateful. It's too much. Just a token of appreciation is enough. If you really think it's good, just give it a thumbs up. Don't spend so much money. Also, sincere thanks, gratitude, gratitude.
