War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 361 Retreat without fighting!

One hundred meters.

When the early spring wind of 1934 blew the woolen coat awarded by the National Government on Xu Chaoyang, Dagu Town had reached a critical moment.

Opposite Xu Chaoyang was a small group of unarmed Japanese soldiers who were moving slowly. If he let them come over, Xu Chaoyang's anti-Japanese reputation in the past few years would be ruined. It would be like letting the Japanese attack him from behind. If he opened fire, it would be a real violation of peace and would give the other side an advantage.

This matter is a major issue worthy of careful consideration for all soldiers of the current era, after all, it concerns their own future.

But Xu Chaoyang didn't think about it at all, because he knew that the peace in front of him was an illusion!
According to history, from the Great Wall War to the July 7 Incident, the Japanese did not send a single soldier for four years, which seemed to guarantee peace, but in reality? They never stopped.

During this period, a total of 16,000 people from Liu Guitang, Li Shouxin, and Zhang Haipeng (who died in the official history) attacked Chahar. Because of the Great Wall War of Resistance, He Yingqin transferred Fu Zuoyi to strengthen the defense of Peiping, and launched an offensive against Lao Feng. This directly led to the emptiness of Chahar's defense, allowing the puppet army to take advantage of the opportunity, invade Duolun, and expand their influence into Chahardong.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man's "Five Provinces Autonomy" was fully launched, attempting to use coercion and inducement to force the five provinces in North China, including Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shandong and Shanxi, to separate from my country's territorial territory, create a second Manchukuo in the interior, and thus seize more resources and take over half of the country.

Afterwards, Hebei and Chahar became the primary targets. The He-Umezu Agreement forced the Kuomintang government agencies and troops to withdraw from Chahar and required us to crack down on anti-Japanese behavior by the military and civilians. Qin Dechun, deputy commander of the 29th Army and the top leader of Chahar at the time, accepted the Japanese conditions and withdrew the garrison from Zhangjiakou and disbanded anti-Japanese agencies under the Qin-Tu Agreement. Since then, Chahar has fallen completely into the hands of the enemy.

After the He-Umezu Agreement, the Beiping Military Branch was disbanded, Song Zheyuan became the King of North China, and the anti-Japanese heroes of the entire 29th Army's top organization began to become completely corrupt. Then Yin Ru was bewitched and announced the autonomy of the 22 counties.
At the same time, Doiyuan privately called Song Zheyuan in Peking, Shangzhen in Hebei, Han Fengzi in Shandong, Xu Yongchang in Shanxi, Fu Zuoyi in Suiyuan, and Zhang Zhizhong in Chahar many times, demanding the opening of the political power and allowing autonomy, but all his calls were rejected.

This is what the Japs call "peace". This kind of boiling-frog-in-warm-water invasion ensures that they can continue to devour our territory without losing military strength in the war, and the National Government!
When the puppet Mongolian army attacked Suiyuan, Fu Zuoyi of Suiyuan and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army defeated the puppet Mongolian army in the Battle of Honggertu, the Battle of Bailingmiao, and the Battle of Xilamulengmiao. This made the Japanese realize once and for all that the puppet army they had formed was not reliable, and it also gave the Chinese people a sense of pride.

However, during this period of time, the puppet army's constant provocations have caused our army to be constantly depleted psychologically, spiritually, and physically. The Japanese are frantically expanding their army to 17 Type A divisions plus various special forces, with a total strength of people!

It has a military reserve system, a reserve force, and "former service personnel" that can be expanded at any time, with a force of up to 400 million.

This is the true beginning of the July 7 Incident, but what was the South doing at this time?
They were busy with "encirclement and suppression" and dealing with uprisings in various places, such as the FJ Incident in 1933. Even the 128th Route Army, a meritorious army in the 19 Incident, began to turn bald. Although this uprising failed, the fact that the local warlords could not be dealt with and the warlords under them could only resist the Japanese because of the awakening of national consciousness instead of following orders further reflected the incompetence of the government.

These warlord troops that were defeated by the National Government accepted reforms after being incorporated into the National Government. The National Government was also constantly expanding its army at this time, but the so-called "reforms" and "army expansion" that were recorded in history were "conscription of able-bodied men"!
Conscripting men was actually linked to "reform" and "military expansion", and the troops under the government were divided into various levels of troops such as "direct line, side line, and miscellaneous line"...

But the so-called "peace" of the Japanese is just like the small team that is now walking towards Dagu Town with bare hands. Although they appear harmless on the surface, they are actually raising their chins and pouting their lips, as if they can't wait to spit in your face.

This is all that has happened in the past four years. In this environment, how could Xu Chaoyang care about his so-called "future"!
"Hey hey hey..."

Xu Chaoyang smiled.

A man stood in front of the formation, holding a pistol and laughing!

He had already made up his mind. Even if he was changed from an "anti-Japanese hero" to a "traitor" in the mouth of the Kuomintang, even if the 217th Regiment became an "isolated army" in Dagu Town, as long as the devils in front of him dared to approach Dagu Town, he would definitely fire this shot. He would definitely fight against the Second Regiment of Tashiro Kan'ichirō in front of him...

"Chaoyang..."

"After wearing the government's woolen coat, you don't even dare to fire your gun?"

Just as Xu Chaoyang was pondering history and current changes, a hand climbed onto his shoulder.

Xu Chaoyang didn't move. He didn't believe that his troops would let anyone who might harm them get close to him, especially when the voice was so familiar.

"Now that you've become the son-in-law of the Yuan family, you feel that you have a noble status and don't want to brave the arrows on the battlefield?"

Xu Chaoyang turned around and found Zhao Dengyu smiling at him. The person who was talking walked to Zhao Dengyu from the peripheral vision behind him. It was Song Zheyuan and Tong Linge!

The two men stared at the Japanese invaders as if they were teasing children, and said these two sentences one by one. However, their appearance meant that there was someone behind Xu Chaoyang.

Song Zheyuan took the opportunity to interject, "I don't believe there are any cowards in my 217th Regiment."

At this moment, Zhao Dengyu personally lifted up Xu Chaoyang's gunman's hand, pulled the trigger for him, and placed his finger on his finger - bang!

Pull the trigger!
When a gunshot was heard, the Japanese troops about a hundred meters away all huddled up at the sound of the gunshot, half-bent over with their hands in front of them, as if they were blocking bullets, showing fear.

"Oh, Lao Ding, I haven't been to the battlefield for too long, and I missed the target."

Zhao Dengyu stood beside Xu Chaoyang and laughed!

He actually laughed out loud in this environment...

Song Zheyuan ignored him, stretched out his hand to the side, and shouted: "Machine gun."

They didn't bring anyone with them. The three of them came to the 217th Regiment alone. Under such circumstances, they reached out to the person next to them for a machine gun...

Xu Chaoyang looked to his side anxiously. Seeing Xu Chaoyang's eagerness that made his eyes pop out of their sockets, Chang Zhan picked up the MG30 in his hand and ran over from the machine gun position without waiting for orders. He stood beside Song Zheyuan and said flatteringly, "Boss, this is not enough. The Oerlikon on the armored vehicle is more exciting..."

Song Zheyuan then shifted his gaze from never looking at Xu Chaoyang to his face, and said lightly: "Not bad, it's still my unit."

These words finally made Xu Chaoyang feel relieved. Chang Zhan saved his life!
Afterwards, Xu Chaoyang realized that if he had shown any signs of suspicion at that time, the 132nd Division might not have come to help, but...

Song Zheyuan held the machine gun with the muzzle slightly raised upwards, and immediately pulled the trigger - bang bang bang bang bang!
As soon as the machine gun sounded, Zhao Dengyu immediately turned around and shouted at the 217st Battalion of the th Regiment: "Don't move!"

The muzzle of Song Zheyuan's gun was pointed upward at an angle. At this distance, the bullet would grazed the scalp of the Japanese in front and hit the air.

But whether it was Zhao Dengyu or Song Zheyuan who fired the shot, they both knew that if they let the guys under the 217th Regiment fire the shot, none of the Japanese soldiers in front of them would be able to return alive. Would Zhao Dengyu dare to let these people move at will?
At the sound of machine guns, the team of Japanese soldiers in front of him all fell to the ground, not daring to hesitate for a second, but Tashiro Kan'ichirō was completely embarrassed.

"Chaoyang, this broken gun doesn't work." Song Zheyuan turned his head and looked at Xu Chaoyang with disdain. At this time, Xu Chaoyang couldn't respond and could only lower his head and smile foolishly.

"Prepare to attack!"

In the distance, a Japanese shout came over. At this moment, weapons such as Pheasant Neck and Type 38 rifle appeared in the hands of the Japanese soldiers on the plain. Another team of Japanese soldiers set up grenade launchers on the ground. Three squadrons of nearly 1,000 people had launched the most basic offensive posture against Dagu Town...

call!
On both sides of Dagu Town, a large amount of dust rose into the sky!

The 132nd Division, which had completely replaced its equipment, divided into two groups and launched a pincer attack on the Japanese army on both sides of Dagu Town. The Liao Type 13 79 rifles sent by Xu Chaoyang were carried by this group of Northwest Army soldiers, once again showing their prestige during the Great Wall War of Resistance.

This troop that dared to charge at the Japanese positions with swords in hand showed the style of Lao Qin. To use a northwestern dialect, when the entire Great Wall War of Resistance was not going well, only the 29th Army lived up to expectations!

When this unit appeared on both sides of the Japanese invaders, with the 217th Regiment in the middle, the translator on the opposite side finally spoke up: "Why don't you keep your word?"

"Didn't we agree to have our people go into Dagu to arrest the murderer?"

Song Zheyuan threw the machine gun into Chang Zhan's hand and replied with a smile: "Who stopped you from entering Dagu Town?"

"The door of Dagu is open. I, Song Zheyuan, am waiting here. Come on if you are brave enough!"

Zhao Dengyu walked up to Song Zheyuan and shouted to the front: "29th Army 132nd Division, Zhao Dengyu, waiting for you!"

At this moment, when Xu Chaoyang looked at Song Zheyuan again, he had lost the materialistic air he had in Chahar. It seemed that the battle at the Great Wall had instilled in him the "spirit of a tiger and a wolf". He stood there with his hands behind his back, and murderous aura rose from his body.

When Xu Chaoyang turned his head to look at the soldiers of the 29th Army on both sides, they had lost the childishness they had when they first entered the battlefield. In the "Great Wall War of Resistance", not only did they lose their fear of the Japs, but they also officially grew into a "tiger and wolf division" that was not afraid of war!
Their clothes were ragged, but their faces were resolute;
Even his pale face and thin body cannot hide his heroic spirit!
At that moment, without any harsh words, the Yakusho team that had been planning to enter Dagu Town unarmed got up and turned around and ran;
At that second, the interpreter shouted to the crowded Dagu Town: "We will negotiate with the chief of your Peking Military Branch!" Then, Tashiro Kan'ichirō bent down, turned around and got into the car.

Xu Chaoyang personally watched Tashiro Kan'ichirō's car turn around and lead the Japanese army, which had already launched an offensive, back to Tianjin. At this moment, the 29nd Division of the 132th Army used the entire army's posture to write two words that everyone knew - peace.
