War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 424 I'm lucky! (Thanks to 'Liunianxiyu' for the 918 reward!)
Peking Railway Station.

Platform.

Song Zheyuan was waiting there wearing a windbreaker and holding his waist. He was waiting for the greatest achievement since he took charge of North China!

Woo! ! !
In the distance, a train slowly approached, emitting puffs of white steam at the speed of entering the station...

"Finally he's here!"

"what?"

"Hahahaha!"

Until this morning, Song Zheyuan was still sweating, fearing that Wanping could not be defended and that Tianjin would fall.

But a magical scene happened under such circumstances. Ji Xingwen defended Wanping to the death, ensuring that Wanping was safe and sound; and great good news came from Tianjin!

The two regiments under Tashiro Kan'ichirō were completely defeated on the banks of the Haihe River, the garrison army headquarters was destroyed, and Tashiro Kan'ichirō and fourteen senior officers in the garrison army headquarters were arrested.

In addition, the 38th Division in Tianjin achieved even better results. Under the fire suppression of the 38th Regiment's artillery, armored vehicles, and Type 217 infantry guns, the th Division killed more than enemies. These were only the bodies that could be found. Countless people jumped into the Haihe River that night, were blown to pieces by shells, and were burned to the point where their identities as soldiers and civilians could not be identified...

Song Zheyuan was delighted to read the battle report about the sneak attack. The remaining garrison troops had no other options as the city gates were closed, so they had to abandon their weapons and hide in the Italian Concession!

There was a small episode in the middle. Tashiro Kan'ichirō called the barracks and ordered them to surrender. As a result, the soldiers got angry on the spot and shouted slogans into the phone, "We would rather die than surrender."

But when the battle started, their imagined strength was no match for the artillery shells. After the 217th Regiment occupied the garrison headquarters, the 38th Division stopped charging and launched a massive bombardment of the Japanese Concession with unlimited ammunition.

That night, Xu Chaoyang moved 141 boxes of Type 92 infantry gun shells from the Japanese warehouse alone. Anyone with such a big appetite could be fed with enough shells!

That guy destroyed the entire Japanese concession into ruins through bombing and burning.

If the 38th Division gets the Japanese army's equipment, how can the Japanese be good?
A Japanese regiment has three battalions, an artillery squadron, an anti-tank squadron, a communications squadron and a regiment headquarters. The Type 38 infantry guns are equipped with six guns, which is enough for two regiments to be equipped in the hands of the th Division.

Can the barracks on the Haihe River survive without the Type 92 infantry guns defending it?
They were almost bombed to pieces in the Japanese Concession, so they had no choice but to surrender their weapons in front of the Italian Concession and let the Italian Concession provide them with shelter in the spirit of humanitarianism.

But it was only 1937. How could Xu Chaoyang possibly destroy the relationship between the two countries two years in advance and lead his troops towards the Italian Concession?

If he really did that, I'm afraid any favorable conditions in the world will no longer favor this country, and no one will provide you with assistance anymore. Wouldn't that be a tiger?
Xu Chaoyang had no choice but to endure it and treat all the Japanese soldiers who did not have time to run into the concession as prisoners. He tied them all up and loaded them onto the train together with the Martin furnace to be transported to Peiping.

Among them was the largest prisoner in North China, Tashiro Kan'ichirō (the dying version).

Otherwise, could we alarm the King of North China to come to the train station in person?

Woo!
The train slowly stopped, and immediately the entire platform was filled with white steam. The steam lingered for a long time in the summer and could even drown people.

"report!"

"Sun Wan, from the Second Company of the First Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the 38th Division, escorted the prisoners of war to Peking and reported to Lao Ding!"

Sun Wantu jumped off the train, ran to Song Zheyuan, stood at attention, saluted, and shouted this sentence loudly.

Song Zheyuan looked at him and said, "Hey, you said these guys are very popular, but now I find them so pleasing to the eye!"

How can that not be pleasing to the eye?

That's a division plus a regiment that defeated more than 38 garrison troops. Although it was the 217th Division's blocking that gave the 38th Regiment an opportunity to take advantage of; it was also the 38th Division that bore the heavy Japanese offensive, but the th Division didn't cause any trouble, and they didn't use their old guard to help at every turn...

Throughout history, how many people who dared to use tricks against the king had a good ending?
Qin Dechun stood by and didn't dare to say anything, just laughed silently. How smart is he? At this time, if he said anything wrong, it would be fine.

The next second, Song Zheyuan suddenly stopped smiling and said, "Where's Xu Chaoyang?"

"Captain Xu is waiting for Lao Ding's order and is ready to abandon Tianjin at any time!"

Otherwise, people would say that being clever is a scam!
After the battle, Xu Chaoyang said to Li Wentian: "Tianjin will definitely not be able to be defended. Once the Japanese fleet arrives, our small number of people will not even be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth under the naval guns."

This is an analysis of the situation. Would the Japs let you attack the garrison troops for nothing without retaliating?
But when it came to the mouth of the company commander who wanted to say a few more words to Lao Ding, it all changed its meaning!

Song Zheyuan's eyes almost popped out of his head!
You fought without orders and then you just fought. And after the battle you abandoned your position? Ah!
So was it right to abandon Tianjin?

From a strategic point of view, of course you are right. The entire war of resistance was fought by relying on a large depth to drag down the Japanese. But at this juncture, you are both right and wrong, because Song Zheyuan is uncomfortable!

"Send my military order and order Xu Chaoyang to go to Beiping immediately. Tell him that I want to discuss important military matters with him."

Qin Dechun didn't even dare to sigh, he had already sensed a strong murderous aura from Song Zheyuan!
Song Zheyuan knew Xu Chaoyang too well. He felt that if you gave Xu Chaoyang a chance to be a good person, he might even run away with his troops. With his prestige, he would definitely be offered a high position and generous salary wherever he went.

That would become a joke for the 29th Army!

He would definitely take revenge when he came back. The other man's wife and that prodigal uncle had already gone to Nanjing. In addition, with his prestige among the people, the common people might point at his nose and curse him, Song Zheyuan!

But it's impossible for Song Zheyuan not to deal with him. Who can tolerate a person who makes decisions on his own and doesn't care about anything when fighting?
What can be done then?

Let's trick the people back first. Don't you want to fight? Then I'll discuss military affairs with you!

Everything took place without making any sound. Just as Li Wentian said, in this battle, no matter you win or lose, you are dead.

"Lao Ding, this Martin stove..."

Song Zheyuan waved his hand and said, "Send it to Zhangjiakou."

……

Tianjin.

The traces of the raging fire still remained in the Japanese Concession. Outside the collapsed wall, Xu Chaoyang was grinning.

Since returning to this era, Xu Chaoyang has never fought such a satisfying battle...

"Chaoyang, was there a big loss yesterday?"

Xu Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "It's not a small loss. We lost more than 300 people, but most of them were new recruits."

"An order has been issued from above." Li Wentian said beside him, "Lao Ding has personally ordered you to go to Beiping to discuss military affairs."

Li Wentian's expression was serious, as if he had seen something.

Xu Chaoyang didn't take it seriously at all: "I know, call Lao Ding back and tell him we'll leave after lunch."

"Chaoyang, don't you understand? I'm going to punish you!"

"You're being overly suspicious, aren't you? Old brother, think about it. I've made such a great contribution, how could Lao Ding do anything to me?"

Xu Chaoyang pointed to the 38th Division in the distance and said, "Look, even the top soldiers in the 38th Division are carrying Type rifles. How can they succeed without me?"

"It's not nice to say this, but I support your 38th Division. How can you bear to kill me?"

"Isn't it enough to just scold him?"

"You are just confused!" Li Wentian said, "It is because of the favor I, the leader of the 38th Division, gave you that I am telling you this today. As for the rest, you can figure it out yourself."

Xu Chaoyang was happy: "Brother, you are a good person."

"Don't worry about me at this time! Take care of yourself!"

"Me? I'm lucky!"

Hahahahahaha!
