War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 417: Appreciation of each other! (Thanks to '促更豪' for the reward!)

"report!"

"The 38th Division of the Tianjin Garrison reported that Xu Chaoyang's troops launched an attack on Haiguang Temple and ordered the artillery platoon to bombard the Dongjuzi Airport. The battle situation is now urgent..."

The moment the soldiers rushed into the office of the Hebei-Chahar Political Affairs Committee with the battle report, Qin Dechun, who had just ignored all this, immediately turned around. The expression on his face completely disappeared, and he shouted with his eyes popping out of his sockets, "Who told him to do this!"

The reason why Qin Dechun was so excited was that he knew that as long as Xu Chaoyang did this, there would be no room for redemption.

"Old top!"

In Qin Dechun's eyes, "After Xu Chaoyang did this, our 29th Army is the only one left in North China to fight the devils head-on. This is called being isolated and helpless!"

"Once this war breaks out, the Japanese fleet will bombard Dagu first, and our logistics supply will be completely destroyed!"

"It's all over!"

What Qin Dechun said is actually correct. From his perspective, it is not wrong.

He still believes that this was not the beginning of the entire war, and that the Battle of Wanping was just a minor friction similar to the Battle of Longmen.

Then in this case, why did you, Xu Chaoyang, raid Haiguang Temple? And bombarded Dongjuzi. Aren't you the sinner who provoked the war?
But for Xu Chaoyang, he had to fight this battle. If he didn't fight now, when would he fight? It was the seventh day of the seventh month, and then Wanping and Nanyuan fell. By the twelfth day of the seventh month, the Japanese troops in Tianjin had increased to 35,000. Would he fight then? At that time, the whole Dagu was under the cannons and people were aiming at it. You couldn't even run away!
Can he not fight?
"Nonsense!"

Song Zheyuan picked up the phone and said to the operator, "I want the 38th Division headquarters in Tianjin."

But, after a while, the phone was connected but no one answered...

This is... the phone has been removed?
Song Zheyuan stared at the phone for three seconds, then slammed the receiver on the table, panting and wishing he could catch Xu Chaoyang and tear him to pieces on the spot!
"Urgently dispatch the 132nd Division back to defend Peiping, abandon all defense lines in Chadong, let Feng Zhian of the 37th Division fight with all his strength, and order Zhang Zhizhong of the 38th Division to contact his troops immediately..." Thinking of this, Song Zheyuan remembered what Xu Chaoyang had done in Xifengkou. This kid has always had the courage to swallow the sky!
"We must stabilize the situation!"

He could no longer seek a buffer zone with Japan. Once Xu Chaoyang took action, Tianjin would definitely be in chaos. Could he still negotiate peace with the devils at this time? It was impossible!
Then we have no choice but to fight, even if we don’t want to!

"Send an order, tell Li Wentian that the 38th Division must attack with all its might. We must not give the Tianjin defenders any room to counterattack, and we must not give the Japanese any time to counterattack. Quick!"

"Hurry up!!!" Song Zheyuan shouted 'Hurry up' twice in fear of being late, and then cursed: "You bastard, why are you pulling the phone line!"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Dechun wanted to persuade him again. He just leaned in and said half a sentence: "Lao Ding!!!"

"Get away from me!"

Song Zheyuan raised his hand and pushed Qin Dechun aside, staring at him angrily and saying, "I'm in a dilemma now, you know? I'm in a dilemma!"

"Send an order, have Tong Linge come to the office for a meeting!"

Xu Chaoyang was going to drive Song Zheyuan crazy. Even if Song Zheyuan knelt down and licked the Japanese's boots, they would not pay attention to him. This battle had to be fought. So since it had to be fought, why were you still hesitating? What were you still communicating about? What were you still talking about? Just fight!

Gentlemen can talk on their knees, can they also die on their knees?

Then can we still call him a master?

A few orders were issued, and the situation in North China changed...

……

Tianjin.

The headquarters of the 38th Division.

Night, 10:21.

Outside the window, there was the constant sound of gunfire in Tianjin City. At this moment, there were no more cicadas chirping in the city. It was as if the human war had scared these insects that had no idea of ​​the hatred of losing their country, making the whole night seem so weird.

"Report!" "The Second Battalion Commander reported that our army destroyed four enemy reinforcement trucks along the Haihe River and killed nearly 100 Japanese soldiers. We are currently exchanging fire with the Japanese army on the Haihe River embankment to prevent the enemy from reinforcing the Haiguang Temple garrison headquarters."

"report!"

"The first battalion has taken over all the strongholds outside Haiguang Temple and arrived at the outskirts of the garrison headquarters. They are preparing to storm the Haiguang Temple garrison headquarters!"

"report!"

"The first battalion, the first company, the first platoon, all members were killed in the battle. The platoon leader was hit by the Type 92 infantry gun on the machine gun position when attacking the main gate and died..."

"When the entire platoon was following the company commander's tactic of firing back while moving to attract fire, they became the main target of the light and heavy machine guns on the roof of the garrison headquarters building. No one survived."

At that moment, the silence in the office made Xu Chaoyang turn around. He stood at the window, looking at the flames lingering in the sky outside, and turned his head.

He could already hold back his tears...

Boom!

But I still couldn't help but grit my teeth when the news reached my ears.

Yes, he gritted his teeth when he heard the news about the war damage, otherwise, he would be in pain!

"Fuck you!"

Li Zhiyuan stood up while cursing at the street and shouted at Li Wentian: "Brother, let's fight the devils!"

"Otherwise, all the brothers of this regiment will be wasted!"

"Brother, please say something. After all, it was the Japanese who bombarded Wanping City first..."

"Report!!!"

As they were talking, a soldier on the other side rushed over and said, "Military order from the Beiping Jicha Political Affairs Committee!"

On the side, the unplugged telephone line was still hanging on the table. This was the reason why the call could not reach the 38th Division. It was also Xu Chaoyang's means of forcing Song Zheyuan to fight and only fight. However, this method took a full three hours before the messenger of the Hebei-Chahar Political Affairs Committee arrived by car!

"Military order of the Hebei-Chahar Political Affairs Committee: Order Li Wentian and Li Zhiyuan to join the battle with all their strength!"

After this sentence was said by the panting messenger, Li Wentian stood up. He walked step by step to Xu Chaoyang's side, and said with reluctance in his eyes: "Chaoyang, I have lived a lifetime and have never seen a man like you."

"Whether you win or lose this battle, you're dead after making such a scene today. Do you know that?"

Xu Chaoyang turned his head and answered firmly: "As long as the Japanese kill me."

he!
No fear of life or death!

At that second, Li Wentian saw a look he had never seen in his life. He saw the person in front of him like a madman walking on a tightrope in a storm, and there was no cowardice in his eyes; he saw the howling wind shaking the wire rope, and the man was swaying with the wind and was about to fall off the cliff, but he was still looking forward.

"Okay, then I won't embarrass you..." Li Wentian's voice was very soft, as if he was a little ashamed of his determination: "Order my 38th Division to station troops in Tianjin, participate in the war with all its strength, replace the 217th Regiment's nd Battalion, and defend the Haihe Defense Zone."

After saying this, Li Wentian patted Xu Chaoyang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are dead, how can I take away your extraordinary achievement? Tianshiro Wan'ichirō's head still belongs to you."

At that moment, the two people who didn't care whether Tashiro Kan'ichiro lived or died finally began to appreciate each other...

　Thanks to 'Cui Gengheng' for the reward. Thank you very much. I am very grateful.
