War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 449 Missed
Chu Zhi fiercely shook off the neck of the Japanese soldier in his hand and threw the completely limp body to the side. When he got up from the ground, the people in his company had already ended the battle for the street in front of him...

"Check carefully, don't let the Japs pretend to be dead and shoot from behind!"

These were the words spoken by a platoon leader under his command, but on the street where they had just been beaten back several times, Chu Zhi only had a sparse number of twenty or so men left.

There are only more than 20 people left in a company...

"Company commander."

A soldier stretched out his hand beside Chu Zhi. He looked up and when he stretched out his hand, he felt the other party pulling hard. The moment he stood up with this force, the smell of blood filled the block.

The corpses on the ground, the houses and roads destroyed by artillery shells, the beams that were almost burned out by flamethrowers and only the frames were left, and the desolation that could only be seen in war were shocking.

Chu Zhi was a little slow to react for a moment as to how the battle was won, but he had already seen one of his own people carrying the Japs' flamethrower and studying how to trigger it. The Japanese soldier who was carrying the flamethrower had his head smashed into a rotten watermelon by the butt of the gun, and was lying on the ground.

The Japanese had a squad of 60 to 70 people, and their company of 100 or so people fought, and in the end only about 20 of them were left, not counting the men who died on the streets...

But he didn't know that their street and the street where Xu Chaoyang had been before had the highest casualty ratio in almost the entire Songhu battlefield!
"Old Li?"

"Old Li!"

"Have you changed this?"

"Squeak!"

Xu Chaoyang and Shang Kun rushed into the battlefield immediately after the battle. However, they did not come to share the spoils with the soldiers. Instead, they rushed to the front with guns and bloody bayonets and searched among the corpses of the able-bodied men.

Correct!
Chu Zhi remembered that it was this man who helped him win the battle. He had the troops retreat continuously, pulling the enemy's formation, allowing the riflemen with faster pace to rush to the front, giving him the opportunity to counterattack...

"Hey!" He didn't know what Xu Chaoyang was calling, so he just opened his mouth and shouted, "Who are you looking for?!"

When the voice drifted far away in the smoke, Xu Chaoyang turned around and asked, "Have you ever seen a square-faced, bespectacled man who speaks in a very elegant manner?"

Chu Zhi pondered for a moment, and it seemed that he had really seen this person before. The reason why he had such a deep impression on him was that this person was particularly nosy, and he would comfort those terrified young men whenever he had nothing to do, saving them a lot of trouble. But that person...

"He's not here with me." Chu Zhi explained, "He was here before the battle started. Later, the people from the 88th Division came and said that they needed a large number of strong men to carry ammunition. They took away all the strong men on the position, and even borrowed the 67th Army that was cooperating with our attack."

When Xu Chaoyang heard this, he hurried over, stood in front of Chu Zhi and asked, "Where did you borrow it from?"

"Can you tell me then?"

Chu Zhi thought for a moment and continued, "But there is one person among the people who came who I know. We chatted for a while and he said that their position is around the 'Patriotic Girls' School'..."

Without waiting for Chu Zhi to finish his words, Xu Chaoyang turned his head to look at Liu Zhenji who was following him like a little tail: "Do you know the way?"

Liu Zhenji nodded again... Xu Chaoyang turned around and walked out of the block with his gun without saying a word. When he passed by the corpses of Japanese soldiers, he squatted down to search them. He put all the grenades he could carry into his arms and stuffed his bullet bag with rifle bullets. Shang Kun took away a Czech-style rifle in front of a charred corpse.

The fifth platoon leader straightened up from the battlefield. He had just been searching for spoils with his butt sticking out. The guy shook his wrist with satisfaction. He had three watches on his arm and a Japanese cigarette in his mouth. He walked to Chu Zhi and said, "Look, this Seagull watch is really luxurious. Hey, where is the person I brought with me?"

Chu Zhi pointed to the street in the distance: "Just left."

The fifth platoon leader raised his chin as if frozen, and shouted excitedly: "Why didn't you stop it!"

"Why would I stop someone?"

"Ah~ah!!!" The fifth platoon leader stretched out his hand and slapped his thigh in anger!

"Captain, come here quickly!"

Chu Zhi looked back and saw a soldier waving at the door of a photo studio on the street whose door had been blown open. When he walked over, the whole room was filled with photos hanging on the walls, including the famous movie star Hu Die and the singer Zhou Xuan. Facing the door, a man wearing a cape, white gloves, a Kuomintang military uniform, and a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal on his chest stood on the table...

It also reads "Famous Anti-Japanese Hero - Xu Chaoyang, Head of the 217th Regiment"!

Chu Zhi grabbed the photo frame and stared at the blond boy under the photo for a full minute. Then he turned around and shouted at the fifth platoon leader who was still annoyed on the street: "Your fucking subordinate is called Xu Chaoyang!"

The fifth platoon leader didn't quite understand and asked, "What Chaoyang?"

Chu Zhi raised his hand and took the photo. "The photo studio cut out the photo from the newspaper and used it as an advertisement. Doesn't it say it? The famous anti-Japanese hero, Xu Chaoyang, the head of the 217th Regiment. The 217th Regiment destroyed the garrison troops in Tianjin. The damn regiment had armored vehicles!"

The fifth platoon leader was stunned. The man in the photo frame looked really smart in his military uniform, but if you looked closely, you could tell at a glance that it was not a photo, but something cut out from a newspaper. Even the small gold-plated characters at the bottom were not embossed on the photo in the frame, but were written on the outside of the frame glass with a brush dipped in gold paint!

The fifth platoon leader immediately raised his head and muttered in disbelief: "That boy is Xu Chaoyang?"

These soldiers have a low level of education. Take the fifth platoon leader for example, he doesn't even recognize those few words. How could he possibly spend money to buy newspapers to read?
But he recognized that picture. The man in the picture had been fighting alongside him just now! !

The problem is, who would have thought that Xu Chaoyang, who was so powerful in Inner Mongolia, Chahar and North China, would actually wear the clothes of an able-bodied man!

He also led them to kill the Japanese twice in a row...

“Hey… no… I’m telling you…” The fifth platoon leader stuffed the photo frame into Chu Zhi’s hand, turned around and ran in the direction Chu Zhi had pointed. Isn’t this his future?

He shouted loudly to the empty street: "Captain, please wait for me!!!"

The weather on the streets after the war was different from that in the official history. A dark cloud slowly moved over from the sky, and a dense drizzle fell immediately. There was also a faint flash of lightning in the clouds - crack!
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the clouds, illuminating the inky black sky a little.
