War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 435 Are you drawing a map for me? (Thanks to 'hungry vomit' for the 300 reward)

Fushan, the base of the 87th Division, has rows of camping tents standing at the foot of Fushan. This secretly stationed force is now waiting for the order to enter the Songhu battlefield.

At present, the commander-in-chief on the Songhu battlefield has been determined. He is General Zhang Zhizhong in the Security Command. His main task is to completely eliminate the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai before the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements.

General Zhang, who had led the 87th and 88th Divisions to reinforce the th Route Army during the January Incident, had always regretted not being able to drive the Japanese invaders out of Songhu. Now, fate finally gave him a chance to start over, and he was going to use the strength of three divisions to attack the Japanese garrisons. If he failed, then all the things that happened in the future would be out of the question.

But in this war, no one expected that the Guomindang was going to use three German-equipped divisions to attack more than 3,000 Japanese troops, but it was actually triggered in advance by traitors...

"Why the hell isn't there even a tent?"

Xu Chaoyang and his men walked to the base of the Kuomintang's German-equipped Division. Before this group of able-bodied men even knew which organization they belonged to, they were gathered together and sandwiched between the Kuomintang's German-equipped Division and the 67th Army of the Northeastern Army.

The Northeast Army was on guard like they were watching for thieves, and only felt a little relieved when they set up a circle of sentry-like tents around the forest where they were staying.

"Chaoyang, have you seen Lao Li?"

In the drizzle, most of the able-bodied men sat on the ground around a big tree in the woods. No one cared about whether they would be struck by thunder or not. They just wanted to avoid getting wet in the rain.

Xu Chaoyang pointed to the other side of the forest and said, "See that circle of tents over there? Lao Li is there."

They were divided into several groups in the same forest, and Lao Li had them separated by about a hundred meters...

Gulu!

Shang Kun's stomach growled. He sat under a tree, rubbing his stomach and looking at the raindrops falling overhead. He said, "Ah, I only have cornmeal porridge a day with a few wild vegetable leaves in it. When will I be able to have a full meal?"

"almost."

Xu Chaoyang answered with certainty, as if he could tell the truth.

Shang Kun turned around and glanced at him: "Do you have a chapel at home?"

Xu Chaoyang was happy.

The hall was originally a place where the royal family of the Qing Dynasty worshipped gods and it belonged to the old customs of Manchu Shamanism.

That is to say, in this day and age, when there are many spirit masters in the Northeast, the name of the shrine where the spirit masters worship is actually the same as asking, "Can you tell fortunes?"

But this time, it had nothing to do with fortune-telling. The war was about to start. No matter whether they were able-bodied soldiers, German-equipped divisions, or Northeastern troops, they all had to go to the battlefield. If they were all going to the battlefield, how could they not have a full meal? Criminals had to be fed before being beheaded, right?
"listen to me……"

Xu Chaoyang pulled Shang Kun towards him and said, "We may not be able to escape from Fushan."

Shang Kun immediately raised his head and looked at him.

"Everyone here will be sent to the Songhu battlefield... If the battle starts, remember, follow me closely and don't leave for a moment..."

Hearing this, Shang Kun brought out the energy of a Northeastern man, tilted his neck and said, "I've fought in wars. Is this a big deal?"

Xu Chaoyang pulled it back from him and said very seriously: "This time is different from other places!"

"This battlefield will be something you have never seen in your life. You have to believe me!"

Seeing that Xu Chaoyang couldn't take a joke at all, Shang Kun finally nodded formally: "I believe it!" Maybe after he said this, he still didn't really understand what to believe.

"Before we set off, we will have a full meal. Afterwards, we will be assigned tasks. Remember, I can't remember so much by myself, so I need your help. You must remember the attack direction of the fourth platoon of the sixth company. We are the fifth platoon. Do you understand?" When others didn't know which part they belonged to, Xu Chaoyang memorized the organization in his heart: "Also, before you have this full meal, talk more with the people around you, and try to find someone who has been to SH and is familiar with the terrain. Otherwise, when the battle starts, we won't know where to run even if we run, let alone find Lao Li on the battlefield!"

"Hey."

Shang Kun didn't know what was going on. When he heard Xu Chaoyang say these words in a low voice, he felt very relieved, as if he was listening to his former boss arranging battlefield tasks: "Then I'll go talk to them."

As he spoke, Shang Kun walked around the tree and turned to the side. Xu Chaoyang just turned around and saw a man looking over here...

"elder brother……"

The boy was very thin, so skinny that his bones were visible. To put it bluntly, looking at his physique, Xu Chaoyang even suspected that the bones he had gnawed on in the bone restaurant might be fatter than he was.

"What the hell?" Xu Chaoyang moved back cautiously, putting some distance between them.

At this time, the rain had already wet the ground under the tree roots along with the leaves. The boy squatted beside Xu Chaoyang with his hands full of dirt on the ground: "Brother... have you ever fought in a war before?"

"what do you mean?"

When he heard Xu Chaoyang's question, he felt a little embarrassed and said with his head down: "Just now, I heard you two chatting, and I also heard you two say... run?" As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Xu Chaoyang.

In this environment, it's okay to say the word "run", because there are only able-bodied men around, who doesn't want to run? But Xu Chaoyang didn't expect that even though he had lowered his voice so much, this kid could still hear it. What kind of ears did he have?

"You don't want to run?" he asked back.

He quickly straightened up, as if he saw hope: "Brother, I want to run, can you take me with you when you run?"

Xu Chaoyang was relieved a little: "What's your name?"

"Liu Zhenji."

"My hometown is Jilin."

From Northeast China?
Xu Chaoyang asked in confusion: "Then why are you in Shanxi?"

"My wife is from Henan. My family is a doctor. My father-in-law later settled in Shanxi. I met my wife while I was studying medicine."

"Then there was war and the Northeast was occupied. We didn't want to go to the Japanese hospital, so we fled to Shanxi."

"You said... I was living a good life in Shanxi. That night, my father-in-law was just too lazy to move, so he asked me to go see a patient's family. We were arrested as soon as we reached the South Gate. No matter what I said, it was useless. I was just drafted in to serve as a soldier."

Xu Chaoyang thought about it and said, "Then you are not familiar with SH either..."

"I know her!" Liu Zhenji stretched his neck like a fighting rooster: "Brother, have you forgotten that I met my wife when we were studying medicine in SH!"

A man from Northeast China, looking for a wife from Henan. They met when they were studying medicine in SH. They finally settled in Shanxi, but were conscripted and taken back to SH...

Xu Chaoyang thought about it and grabbed the collar of the man in front of him and cursed, "Why are you drawing a map for me?"

　Thanks to 'hungry, vomit' for the 300 yuan reward. Thank you very much!
