War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 4: Freeze your face and scald your back

"Dad, stop busying yourself. We won't be here for long."

After the old man entered the room, he saw that none of the children spoke. It was not a good idea to keep staying like this, so he turned around and went to the outer room. He had already said, "I'll go heat you up some food..." but was called back by Xu Chaoyang.

The old man looked at him and asked, "Why can't you stay longer?"

"Then the Fengtian Army is gone, right?"

Xu Chaoyang helped the old man sit back on the edge of the kang and asked, "Do you know everything?"

The old man sighed: "How could you not know that?"

"After Jiangqiao was captured, the Japanese in the entire Heilongjiang Province were like dog urine moss that came out on a rainy day, and they were all 'numbing'."

"You don't know yet? The Lin family shop is gone."

Xu Chaoyang was stunned, and asked according to his memory: "Such a big village, hundreds of households, is it gone?"

The old man sighed: "What can I say."

"What for?" Liu Gener asked in confusion.

The old man shook his head, stretched out his hand and slapped his thigh heavily: "Who knows why?"

"Now, the Japanese are driving their chariots around the mountains every day, leading a bunch of people, shouting in half-cork Chinese, 'Clear out the remnants of the Fengtian Army, and promote the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt.' When the Japanese vehicles come, we dare not go out."

The old man suddenly became energetic when he said this: "I tell you, I am old. Otherwise, I would go to the mountains and join the gangs, and shoot them with guns every day!"

Xu Chaoyang's brother-in-law also said: "Yes, it's not enough to shoot them once... We have to push them into the pit and shoot them like a magazine, ten times."

The old man grabbed Xu Chaoyang's hand and said, "Son, we won't leave now that we're back. We'll die by your side. Before I die, I can see you little brats and close my eyes."

Xu Chaoyang could only persuade him and said, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

The old man waved his hand and turned his head away: "There is no point in this life."

"This winter isn't even over yet, but the local security guards are already asking for grain, saying that they have to take away half of the harvest next year as military rations. I've figured it out, I'm going to plant croton seeds tomorrow when spring comes!"

puff.

Lu Damazi's wife covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

The old man looked at the woman and said, "Is this my daughter-in-law?"

Xu Chaoyang quickly stopped the old man and said, "The child's surname is Lu, and I have to call her sister-in-law. We brothers snatched her away when the Japanese invaded Qi City."

"Your immediate boss, Lu?"

Xu Chaoyang nodded.

The old man patted Xu Chaoyang's arm and said, "Looks like my seed..."

Xu Chaoyang was relieved by the praise, thinking that the old man was going to say that he was righteous, but he heard his father say: "Don't be restrained in eating."

His eyes widened immediately!

Even Lu Damazi's little wife looked over in a daze.

The old man then smiled evilly and explained, "What's there to be embarrassed about?" "Otherwise, how can you let an orphan and a widow live in this world?"

Under the moonlight, the old man saw the golden brocade on the hand of Lu Damazi's young wife, pointed at it and said, "If this kind of thing leaves our house, it will be meat in the eyes of bandits, and it can be eaten and eaten!"

"Even if she manages to get into the city, she will never see the tricks used in the martial arts world... I say..."

"Dad, why are you scaring me for no reason?"

Xu Chaoyang was cornered by the old man and sat directly between the two of them.

Brother-in-law Yu Minghao interrupted and said, "Brother-in-law, don't forget that you and my sister are engaged."

The old man opened his mouth and cursed: "Get lost, my son is a company commander, what's the big deal about marrying two?"

Yu Minghao leaned against the wall, his hands hanging in front of him, and said, "The Fengtian Army is gone..."

"No, no, he is still the company commander."

Yu Minghao was speechless after hearing what the old man said.

In the past, he felt that his brother-in-law was lucky. After surviving the battlefield, he was appreciated by Lu Damazi and was able to reach this point today. But after this time, he was completely convinced!
The first thing was that when he was ambushing the Japanese railway patrol team in the mountains, the gun in his hand stopped working. He was clearly counting the bullets in the magazine under Xu Chaoyang's instruction, and he knew that the bullets were not used up, but the gun suddenly misfired.

If Xu Chaoyang hadn't been holding a gun at all times ready to plug the leak, something serious might have happened.

This was the second time he had gotten into trouble. The first time was when he pulled the trigger and almost shot Xu Chaoyang in the villa in Qi City.

But Xu Chaoyang did not blame him. He took his gun, removed the magazine, and checked it. He then said, "It's the spring that's releasing the force. It's not your fault." After that, he took out an empty magazine from his arms and handed it to him, "Use this next time."

He said to the others, "Remember this. Although this machine gun was purchased from outside, many of the magazines are produced in Fengtian. When using it, try not to fill the magazine with bullets for a long time to prevent the spring from being compressed. Otherwise, it will easily cause problems with the feeding."

In Yu Minghao's eyes, his knowledge of firearms was astonishing. In his hands, the machine gun was as docile as a cat and did whatever he was told to do.

The second thing is that after Xu Chaoyang explained what "low-light tactics" was, Yu Minghao felt that this "brother-in-law" in front of him was extremely strong. He could clearly analyze every step of the battle in the villa, and could also tell you where you went wrong and how to improve it.

Anyway, after this experience, Yu Minghao was completely convinced. It turned out that his brother-in-law, who always followed Lu Damazi and laughed, actually had these two tricks!

He has already made up his mind to become Xu Chaoyang's brother-in-law. Could he just watch Old Xu match up Lu Damazi's wife with his brother-in-law?

"sleep."

Due to the presence of Lu Damazi's young wife, a group of old men squeezed into the unlit kang in the west room. Without even waiting for Lao Xu to light the stove, these guys got into bed and started snoring.

But Xu Chaoyang couldn't fall asleep no matter what he said...

Old Xu lit the fire, got on the kang, looked at his son who hadn't closed his eyes yet, and asked, "Can't sleep?"

Xu Chaoyang listened to the wind outside the window blowing up the window paper covered with glue. He was afraid that the old man would be worried about the "whoosh whoosh" sound, so he responded, "Frozen face." He didn't dare to say what kind of cruelty the Northeast would experience next.

Old Xu was amused: "You are really used to being an official, it's a clean job!"

After a while, the old man could clearly hear his even breathing. But after turning over, he raised his eyelids again and glanced at his son as if he was uneasy: "Are you worried about something?"

How could Xu Chaoyang be free of worries?
After the Japanese occupied Northeast China, it would not take long for the war to spread to the whole of China... He didn't have much time left...

But how could he tell these words to the old man and make him worry when he has no ability to change the world?
He added, "Iron my back," and closed his eyes.
