War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 450 Northeastern Children
The sound of gunfire continued to ring in my ears...

Explosions continued...

Xu Chaoyang's ears never stopped ringing on the way to the Patriotic Girls' School. Later on, the situation became so serious that he was too lazy to look at the explosions. So what if they were loud?

But what he heard the most that night was cheers!

It seemed that he had never heard so many cheers since he returned to this era. When the Japanese strongholds in Shanghai were eliminated one after another, the fifth platoon leader was a little bit unbelievable.

"Captain..." He might have regarded Xu Chaoyang as his own captain, as he actually called him out in such an intimate manner.

You have to know that in those days, there was real affection between direct superiors and subordinates. When a subordinate came to the place of his superior, as long as the superior was an old leader who had been following him for a long time, he would definitely put on his slippers and go to bed, and eat as soon as he entered the house, just like at home. The superior treated his subordinates without any restrictions. He would scold them if they made mistakes, and it was normal to beat them if they got irritated... But if they were not direct superiors and subordinates, no matter how good the relationship was, it would be like a neighbor visiting someone's home, and the good things in the family would have to be left for their own children.

"Why do I feel like we are going to win?"

It is no wonder that the fifth platoon leader is so optimistic. In real history, the 88th Brigade of the 264th Division alone, under the leadership of General Huang Meixing, captured more than a dozen Japanese strongholds. In the end, they were hit by Japanese artillery shells and unfortunately died in battle.

Maybe many people don't know General Huang, but if you mention his two old classmates, then everyone knows them. One is surnamed Xu, who always moves forward, and the other is the living father of the 386th Brigade. He is one of the three heroes of Whampoa Military Academy, and even when he was arrested, he was like on vacation. General Huang also had close contacts with Du Yuming, Huang Wei, Song Xilian and others. General Huang himself was also the brigade commander of the 88th Division, the ace division of the National Government. You can imagine how capable this man is.

"Isn't it good that we won?"

Xu Chaoyang turned around and asked the fifth platoon leader a question, and this kind of words could only be said on a day like today. Everything would change at dawn tomorrow!
"No, I just stepped on my heels. This little devil doesn't seem as powerful as I imagined."

He even took a handful!
Xu Chaoyang looked at the fifth platoon leader who was so happy, and asked as he walked towards the Patriotic Girls' School: "Why do you always follow me? Don't you have a mission to get oil?"

The fifth platoon leader lowered his head and said slowly, "Commander, I don't want to stay in the 67th Army anymore. Why don't you just take me over?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Chaoyang didn't quite understand.

"The 67th Army...has changed."

The fifth platoon leader seemed to be caught in a strange atmosphere and added, "It's frustrating."

He opened up completely amid the sound of gunfire and artillery fire, and mentioned the changes of the Northeast Army from the perspective of a small figure after entering the customs for mediation: "Since we left the Northeast Army, everything has changed... Commander, I don't know why you left the Northeast Army in the first place, but we left the Northeast Army because we were really angry."

"When Lao Ding was here, no matter what, no matter what he did, we still had a home, and there was still someone above us who once ruled half of the country. But after Lao Ding went to Nanjing, no matter where the 67th Army went, it was like a child who had grown up to seven or eight years old, and people disliked them and dogs didn't like them!"

He sighed: "In fact, we envy you."

Xu Chaoyang stood there and looked at the fifth platoon leader: "What do you envy me for?"

"I envy you for being able to fire the first shot of the Anti-Japanese War in Qi City, and for being able to have a good fight with the devils. It's better than us waiting for news in the border every day with our eyes wide open. Who doesn't have a wife and children in the Northeast? Don't even mention how frustrating those days were."

The fifth platoon leader continued, "After the fall of Northeast China, the Japanese moved their troops to the eastern part of Inner Mongolia..." Shang Kun turned his head and looked over when he heard this: "When the superiors sent Dao Wenbin to seize Tongliao, I am not exaggerating at all. All the brothers were eagerly hoping that the superiors would call on their names. That would be called going home, and being able to fight back home along the eastern part of Inner Mongolia. Even if we die, we can die in the place closest to home, right?"

The fifth platoon leader raised his hand and pointed at the street in front of him: "Where the hell is this? I don't even know it!" Only people from the Northeast understand this feeling, this feeling that the hometown cannot accommodate the body and the foreign land cannot accommodate the soul. Even if you leave this era, it still exists in another way, as if the children of the Northeast are destined to drift outside...

Hey!
Xu Chaoyang felt heartbroken.

"In the days that followed, I felt more and more frustrated. When the Japanese invaded Rehe, the most elite troops of our Northeast Army were left... by our side. It was as if we were not at ease sending them out. Only then did we realize that the old marshal's son was a coward."

"We were frustrated all the way from the Northeast to the Northwest, and finally got a chance to vent our anger, so we planned to fight those people in the Soviet area... Oh, they got beaten up, and their hips were broken."

"That guy surnamed Xu made us pee and pee. He even peed blood in the toilet!"

puff.

This time Xu Chaoyang couldn't hold it back and finally laughed out loud.

The fifth platoon leader said to Shang Kun, "But the most inspiring thing was listening to the battle report of the Northwest Army. It said that the Northwest Army marched from Chahar deep into Rehe and fought several brilliant battles. Commander, we heard your name in Tianjin at that time."

"The group of people below were really confused at the time. Commander Xu was clearly from Qishi Ma's unit, a genuine soldier of our Northeastern Army. How did he become a company commander under the 29th Army of the Northwestern Army?"

"If anyone in the military camp knew anything about you at that time, it would have been included in the storytelling. Everyone was talking about your origins and your journey. But within two days, the army began to forbid mentioning your name."

Shang Kun asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Small eyes!"

The fifth platoon leader explained, "Captain Xu made a name for himself under the 29th Army, but he has no place to use his talents in the hands of his own people. If this is spread out, will anyone be happy to hear it?"

"Later, that playboy dumped his stepson (when he got mad), abandoned all the troops, went on a trip, took his mistress to visit Europe, and left all the Northeast Army in Peking and Tianjin to be laughed at. You were so angry that you died."

"What can we do? Just bear with it."

"After the Xi'an Incident, our new army commander Wu Keren must have gone crazy. He just jumped at the chance to prepare for war in SH and brought his troops here."

"The people below have also figured it out. Unless the 67th Army fights a few good battles, it will not survive."

"We are all from the Northeast, right? But it was us who tore the Northeast Army apart. If you don't fight a few good battles to prove that you are right, how will others look at us?"

"We all know that we're here to block the view, so we'd better not get killed. That's why our superiors ordered the conscription of able-bodied men. Ostensibly it was to make up the numbers and form an army, but in reality, hi..." His sigh expressed the sadness of the entire Northeast Army. In the ashes after the prosperity, it seemed that all colors returned to black and white. Xu Chaoyang even heard the tragic song that ruined a prosperous era.
