War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 350 How old do you think you are?

1933, the end of the year.

As the year was coming to an end, the 217th Regiment received good news one after another.

First, Jia Qin, who joined the team at the end of the old company, sent invitations saying that he was going to get married. After everyone had a lively time on the wedding day, Altai, who had just returned to the team, also started sending invitations.

He and Yue'er are finally getting married.

The wedding was organized by Xu Chaoyang at the Dagu Shipyard. Xu Chaoyang paid for the banquet for the entire group of more than 2,000 people alone. The wedding room for Altai was set up in a separate small courtyard in Dagu, and it was a very successful wedding.

As soon as Xu Chaoyang arrived that day, he was forced to drink too much. The entire regiment completely let go on that day. The battalion, company, and platoon leaders who usually didn't dare to confront Xu Chaoyang all picked up their wine bowls and launched an attack on Xu Chaoyang's table.

Xu Chaoyang accepted all the drinks and drank them for real.

In less than twenty minutes, Xu Chaoyang could no longer see clearly. Finally, his head hit the table with a bang and he had to be carried back.

The heartless Qu Yong was still laughing: "I'm telling you, this is the first time I've seen my brother act like this. Normally..."

Qu Yong suddenly realized that when he said this, Yu Minghao, Liu Gener, Chang Zhan, and other bullshitting buddies turned around and walked away: "Hey, where are you going?"

Isn't this nonsense?
You are the platoon leader of the guard platoon, or a real relative. You said that you didn't allow Xu Chaoyang to smile and let it go. At most, I'll kick you twice. How can you be so timid? You broke the military ban, and you can't die. Who else can? What if the words get to Xu Chaoyang's ears tomorrow morning? Will he still be in the 217th Regiment in the future?
However, Qu Yong was too embarrassed. Those who didn't want to talk to him went to another table, but this kid followed them and cursed as soon as he sat down: "What the hell do you all mean? Do you look down on me?"

Yu Minghao smiled at him and said, "No, let's talk about something else. I'll drink with you if you want to talk about something else."

"Hey, this is my brother. It's not in vain that I risked my life to go to the Yu Family Compound to save the lives of your family!"

"By the way, have you heard from your family since they moved away?"

The topic was changed, and Yu Minghao also started to speak: "Where is the news?"

"It's so chaotic in this war. Even if there is news, how can they get it to me?" Yu Minghao shook his head helplessly and looked at Liu Gener: "How is your mother doing?"

Liu Gen'er lowered his head: "I asked around and was told that her eyesight wasn't very good. I even asked someone to bring some money back to her, but don't we old people know? She would have worn out her ribs if she had a little money in her hand. If you asked her to pull out a big coin, it would be covered in blood."

"I'm just looking forward to when we can fight back..."

None of the brothers mentioned bringing their relatives to Tianjin. They all knew that 217 would not stay in Tianjin for long.

At the wedding banquet at Dagu Shipyard, people were also divided into several groups. The veterans from the 217th Regiment, a team of nearly a thousand people, occupied the entire south side. After a few drinks, they began to make noises. The new employees at Dagu Shipyard occupied most of the north side. They ate and drank as they pleased. After all, they still had to train under them and did not dare to bluff. The only group was the small group of people in the laboratory. They looked annoyed like soldiers.

Most of the one hundred people at the table were students who graduated from Nankai University and had just entered Dagu Shipyard to work with Mr. Xiong for two or three months. Among them was the head of the student union of that year, named "Duan Jingwen", who was also from Northeast China. After the Northeast was occupied, he fled with his family to Tianjin.

In the past, people talked about going to Guandong, but this time it’s the other way around. In the Northeast, anyone with a little ability is running inland, and their family is no exception.

Originally, Duan Jingwen would not have come to work at Dagu Shipyard, as college students were still valuable these days and could earn a lot of money no matter where they went. But after his family's business failed in Tianjin, Duan Jingwen had no choice but to work at Dagu Shipyard, as his family was in debt, and it was loan sharking.

Duan Jiaben wanted to do some reselling business after coming to Tianjin's water and land port, but the Rehe War triggered the Great Wall War of Resistance, and the Japanese warships were completely useless once they stopped on the sea. All kinds of cargo ships could not enter or leave the Tianjin Port.

Your Duan family is not the foreign devils in the concession. What can you do when the country can’t do anything about it?
They could only bear the consequences and ended up incurring huge debts.

Duan Jingwen had no choice but to work at Dagu Shipyard, not for any other reason but simply because the salary was higher.

But he looked down on these soldiers, especially after he heard that the Dagu Garrison Regiment was the foundation of the Northeast Army, he looked down on them even more. That's why he said the wrong thing after drinking two cups of horse urine.

"Even though it's like this, you still dare to say that you can fight back to the Northeast..."

When this was said, Qu Yong and the others really didn't hear it. Their voices were too loud, and they were yelling and shouting. Their table was the noisiest.

However, one person heard it, and that was the second sister who came back with Altai. The second sister had one leg on the long bench, and no one dared to sit next to her. Everyone in the old company had seen this woman holding two bayonets and rushing towards the Japanese at Xu Chaoyang's shout of "Charge".

But at this time, Duan Jingwen was still talking.

"Xiao Wen'er, aren't you from Northeast China? Why are you so generous to the 217th Regiment, which is based on the Northeast Army?" asked a young man with a Tianjin accent.

Duan Jingwen frowned, holding the wine jar beside him and pouring himself a bowl of wine. He said as he poured, "It is precisely because I am from the Northeast that I feel angry!"

"How many Northeastern soldiers lost their lives in the Rehe War? If we had known this day would come, why didn't we fight in the Northeast?"

"I don't believe that the Northeastern defenders guarding Beidaying and Fengtian Arsenal at that time could not withstand the Japanese attack with such a small number of people in the early stage and could not delay Xiao Liuzi's return to help."

It's the same old story.

These words have been said so many times in China in recent years that whenever Chinese people pick up a glass of wine, they will say these words without any change.

The second sister gradually got used to it and no longer had the anger she had at the beginning. After all, they were scolding the Northeast Army, not the 217th Regiment. She just looked back, picked up the wine bowl with three fingers and brought it to her mouth, not caring that her fingers were soaked in the wine.

The problem is, Duan Jingwen didn’t stop!

He actually talked about the Northeast Army and then the 217th Regiment!
"When the Japanese occupied Northeast China, Xiao Liuzi did not fight. But when they occupied Rehe, he started fighting. So, do you think Xiao Liuzi was fighting for his national integrity, or was he unable to bear the scolding from people all over the world and wanted to save his face?"

"So many Northeastern troops, their weapons were made in this Dagu Shipyard. They left their lives in Rehe for the sake of a warlord's face. It's fine if they fought well, and we Northeasterners will accept it, but what did they achieve? They ended up with traitors everywhere and suffered a miserable defeat. Sun Damazi made a name for himself in Chifeng and annihilated a Japanese brigade!"

"Does Sun Damazi have any connection with the Northeast Army? Why would a grave robber like him come to the Rehe battlefield? Who can't see that?"

"Hey! Hey!" The deskmate found that Duan Jingwen was really drunk, and his voice became louder and louder, trying to dissuade him...

"Don't fucking pick on me!"

Duan Jingwen raised his hand to shake off the hand of his classmate next to him. He didn't even notice that the entire wedding banquet had become completely quiet at this moment.

"Yes, Sun Damazi wiped out a brigade of Japanese invaders outside Chifeng City, thanks to the 217th Regiment. The 217th Regiment also killed Zhang Haipeng and Cui Xingwu in Lindong. But why did you stop fighting after you finished fighting in Miyun?"

"There are no devils in the Northeast?"

"If there is still a Northeastern gentleman in the 217th Regiment, don't just talk about recovering the Northeast, you should get down there and do it!"

Qu Yong raised his head and grinned at Duan Jingwen, Yu Minghao raised his hand and took out the gun from his waist and slammed it on the table with a "bang", Liu Gener had already pulled out the leg fork...

Snapped!
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard throughout the banquet. The second sister's face was red from drinking and she was staggering from drinking. She held the jar of wine and smashed it directly on Duan Jingwen's head.

At that moment, everyone let go of their taut breath, turned around, and said what needed to be said, as they all knew that the second sister protected Xu Chaoyang more than they did, and would not allow anyone to tarnish Xu Chaoyang's reputation.

So, at the moment Duan Jingwen fell, the second sister bent over, grabbed the boy by the collar and dragged him out of the yard. Chang Zhan was still there trying to persuade him: "Why not call Old Yang back? This could lead to a big disaster..."

Qu Yong immediately glared at him and said viciously: "No, this kid deserves to die!"

"Old Chang, what do you mean? You are not among the Northeastern people he scolded?" Even Liu Gener glared at him.

Chang Zhan couldn't get off the fight with these guys, so he could only say, "Isn't Altai getting married today? Why is there blood on such a happy day?"

"It's okay. The second sister has been dragged out." They all felt that Duan Jingwen was dead.
