War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 430 Sweet! (Thanks to 'All-ceramic big teeth' for the 1500 reward!)

Xu Chaoyang had to admit that the 'Old Li' in front of him didn't have much magic in his words. He wasn't passionate or contagious, but he still listened.

Old Li took a deep breath, exhaled slowly and said, "We...can't help him."

Everyone at the dinner table was silent. Xu Chaoyang seemed to have understood what disease the soldier had, but in northern Shaanxi at that time, there was really no one who could help him. He just didn't expect that "Old Li"... would admit it so frankly.

"what about me?"

Xu Chaoyang looked at Lao Li as if he was carrying all the pressure. Even if he said any punishment...

"Hahaha..." Old Li laughed. He looked at the bookstore owner and pointed at Xu Chaoyang and said, "I said he figured it out, right?"

The bookstore owner also turned his head, holding the bowl in one hand and resting the other hand on the dining table, smiling.

"what happened to you?"

Old Li looked at Xu Chaoyang and asked.

"I didn't just kill the devils..."

Xu Chaoyang was about to confess, he didn't think there was anything to hide, but just when he said half a sentence, the other party stopped him with the hand holding the chopsticks.

"What did you expect me to say?"

Lao Li said calmly: "Advise you? Criticize you? Or simply ask you to do a profound self-examination?"

"Let me ask you, have you ever killed an ordinary civilian who did not provoke you when there was no war and you were not forced at all?"

Xu Chaoyang shook his head. He had indeed never done that.

Lao Li put down his chopsticks, crossed his elbows on the table and said, "We all hope to be good people, because good people are called benevolent and righteous gentlemen;"

“We all hope that there is no blood on our hands so that there will be no psychological pressure;”

"We all hope that we have never done anything wrong, we all hope that we don't have to worry about life and death, we all hope that when we wake up tomorrow morning, war has never existed, and even people don't even know what war is."

Xu Chaoyang listened quietly. It was the voice of an ordinary person, but this ordinariness was like the singing of birds under the shade of a tree in midsummer, which could make you relax.

"It's just that we all know that nothing you expect will happen, including the words you think will come out of my mouth."

"But, the brutal killing of Tashiro Kan'ichirō was wrong. Even now I still say that this was wrong... and we will never advocate it."

“The question is, who says people who do wrong are wrong?”

Xu Chaoyang heard a completely new concept, a concept he had never touched before!

"I just feel sorry for you."

He stood up, walked around the table, and put his hand on Xu Chaoyang's shoulder: "I really feel sorry for you."

"It's like feeling sorry for every soldier who participated in the war."

"You are all good children and good people. You were forced to fight against the invasion on your own land."

"It's just using the wrong means to do the right thing, because the right means can't solve it."

"Here, I must say it again. Until now, I still think that war and killing are wrong, but I feel even more sorry for you soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield and suffering from pressure!"

He tightened his hand on Xu Chaoyang's shoulder...

For the first time, Xu Chaoyang felt as if his heart was tightly wrapped when doing this action. The pressure all over his body burst out at this moment, and for some reason, tears welled up in his eyes.

He is from Northeast China, and is the person from Northeast China who has been criticized the most in later generations and on the Internet;
He was a member of the Northeast Army, a member of the Northeast Army who experienced the September 18th Incident right after traveling through time, and had to endure the curses while risking their lives;

He was the 29th Army, which had its glorious moment at Xifengkou but also lost Tianjin and Beijing, and was called the incompetent 29th Army by people all over the world!

But until this moment, he felt like he was home. After all, only a biological mother would protect you and care about you so much. "I'm home."

The bookstore owner put his hand on Xu Chaoyang's shoulder, and the bookstore clerk put his hand on Xu Chaoyang's shoulder... He went home.

Xu Chaoyang lowered his head and lay on the table, and the cry that had been suppressed in his heart finally burst out.

It was the first time he knew that a grown man could cry so hard. He didn't even want to listen to the howling sound. He just wanted to vent his inner distress.

Just like that, Xu Chaoyang's crying became louder and louder, then softer and softer, until he became motionless and lost all sound.

"Hey, stop crying, okay?" After seeing Xu Chaoyang didn't move, the bookstore owner stood up and looked at Lao Li.

"Tsk!" Old Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "Leave some sauce for Chaoyang so he can get some sleep. I don't know how much he has suffered along the way."

Several people divided the noodles and took their bowls to the bookstore to eat. After they finished eating, the bookstore owner turned around and rolled out another portion of cornmeal noodles, wrapped it with flour and placed it next to the pot. Finally, he thought about it and added water to the pot and piled firewood next to the stove before going to the front to close the store.

"Commander, do you think Chaoyang can figure out who you are?"

Under the cover of night, in the room where the lights had never been turned on, a faint sound of buzzing could be heard.

"That's impossible. After all, this is the first time we meet. Even if he has good eyesight, can he tell who I am?"

Now these two people can't figure out how Xu Chaoyang saw that.

"Chief, do you want to wake up Chaoyang? Can it be cool at night?"

"Don't shout. I know a commander who would stay up all night looking at maps during a war. For them, a good night's sleep is more important than anything else. Don't shout."

"What if it rains?"

"You crow mouth, can you hope for something good?"

Night, silence...

"Commander, you said Chaoyang can't sleep so much, why don't we fall there?"

"Are you going to sleep or not?"

early morning……

When the rooster crowed, Xu Chaoyang slowly opened his eyes.

He slept cold, really cold, and his arms and legs were hunched up in his sleep, but he slept very comfortably that night, the most comfortable he had ever slept.

When he opened his eyes, it was just daybreak and the bowl on the table was still emitting the aroma of sauce. When Xu Chaoyang got up and stretched, he happened to see the noodle board on the stove and the noodles that had been cut and left on the board overnight through the door.

He smiled.

He took out the few silver dollars left in his pocket and placed them on the table. Then he opened the door and ran out.

After staying in bed all night, Xu Chaoyang wanted to move around, otherwise his muscles and bones would feel uncomfortable, so he ran along the Datong city wall. When he reached the west gate, he saw military vehicles driving in the city gate.

Hu~hu~hu~
Military vehicles moved slowly one after another, with the Blue Sky and White Sun flags flying on them. Soldiers on the vehicles were guarding heavy machine guns and artillery, while others jogged into the city along with the vehicles.

At this moment, more and more people gathered around Xu Chaoyang to watch the fun. It was not because they had a good thing going, but because these people with hoes on their backs could not go out to farm because the soldiers occupied the city gates.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has provided us with barracks and allocated supplies. Let's go there and have a good rest, quickly!"

The supplies allocated by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?
Xu Chaoyang looked at this army with northeastern accents curiously and wondered, when did Old Man Yan become so generous?

Oh ~
He understood that the troops before him were the 67th Army of the Northeast Army that was to replace Song Zheyuan to fight against the Japanese army on the Jinpu Line. They were going to serve as a shield for Yan Laoxizi!

　Thank you for the 1500 reward from 'All-porcelain Big Teeth'. You are so generous when we first meet. Could it be that you are a rich person who drinks soy milk in large bowls for breakfast?
　　Just kidding, thank you brother for the reward, thank you very much.
