War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 479 A Kitchen Knife
Under the scorching sun, Yang Chengwu set out with the 217th Regiment, walking on the land of Qin and Jin between the mountains, all the way to Jingyang County and Yunyang Town. This team wore brand new uniforms, carried brand new water bottles on their shoulders, carried brand new bedding on their backs, and even the belts around their waists and the cloth shoes on their feet were brand new. It can be said that the attire of the 217th Regiment was unique in the entire Eighth Route Army!
But you are still not envious of them. Their uniforms were specially made at the clothing factory with funds specially approved by the 129th Division Headquarters and delivered by the Political Department of the 129th Division before the division set out.

Looking at the entire army, which unit can enjoy such treatment?
But even so, the officers and soldiers of the 217th Regiment didn't seem to take it seriously...

The main reason is that the soldiers of the 217th Regiment are used to it!
They are good at fighting, and under the leadership of Xu Chaoyang, they are the most prominent wherever they go. When the top officials see that they have such a capable troop under their command, will they let them wear tattered clothes?
Therefore, no matter they were under Song Zheyuan or He Yingqin, they all wore new clothes and military uniforms were given to them as if they were free. Especially when they were under He Yingqin and often had to face interviews from reporters, Deputy Director Li specifically told them to keep their uniforms clean. By the time they arrived in Dagu, the regiment commander had married Yuan Fuzhen, so it was impossible for them to wear torn clothes.

patch?

The 217th Regiment has never seen a patch!

Forget about patches, the 217th Regiment’s meals never ran out of meat!
In addition, what surprised Yang Chengwu even more about this army was Xu Chaoyang's attitude towards his subordinates!

Xu Chaoyang never tolerated any faults of his subordinates and would curse them as soon as he opened his mouth...

For example, in the case of the fight between the Guard Platoon and the 770th Regiment, the commander of the 129th Division's handling opinion was to ask the 770th Regiment to release the people immediately, and the entire 385th Brigade to conduct a collective self-examination and make a deep review of the incident.

When Su Jingcheng of the 385th Brigade led the guard platoon of the 217th Regiment out of the 770th Regiment, Xu Chaoyang stood in the cave of the 217th Regiment's base and cursed at the gang members. The words he cursed were unbearable to listen to!

"Did a donkey kick your brain? Ah!"

"A platoon without live ammunition dared to use force at the gate of an entire regiment. Who the hell taught you to fight like this?"

"Chang Zhan! Is this how you usually train? Ah!"

"Don't you know how to run to the group?!"

There is nothing wrong with this statement, whether in terms of technical and tactical aspects or in terms of tactical application in battle, except that I don’t know where I went wrong…

"And you!"

"Tong Meng, you are also a soldier of the old company. When did I ever teach you how to slap someone in the face during a fight? Are you relying on the foundation of the old company to make a living?!"

"You let someone ride on you and beat you up. You've embarrassed me!"

Yang Chengwu was stunned when he heard it... and the arrogant soldiers of the 217th Regiment piled up like cats, all bowing their heads in front of the tiger Xu Chaoyang, and only he could be heard roaring in the cave.

At this time, Xu Chaoyang remembered to look at Yang Chengwu and said, "Ah, in principle, we are not allowed to fight..." But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, "Then we can't just ignore it and block the entrance of a regiment, right?"

"Qu Yong, come here!"

Xu Chaoyang looked at Qu Yong's bruised eyes and cursed, "Damn it, I've never been so cruel to my own brothers!"

"Just wait for me to come back after I defeat the Japanese. Just wait for me!" He was completely resentful of the 770th Regiment, really resentful!
The moment his fingers touched Qu Yong's brow, Qu Yong shrank his head back, and Xu Chaoyang became furious... especially when Qu Yong said, "Brother, it's okay, it's not even an injury." It would have been fine if he hadn't said that, but when he said it... Oh no!

"The entire regiment must write a self-criticism!" Xu Chaoyang was so angry that he could only vent his anger on these people in the regiment. If they were not about to march to Shanxi, if they were not about to fight in the Battle of Taiyuan... 770, you wait!

Liu Gener said in a daze: "Captain, I can't write!"

"Those who cannot write or cannot submit their papers for examination will stay in Yan'an to help Old Yang recover from his illness."

Liu Gen squatted down immediately: "Then I can."

Xu Chaoyang then looked at Tong Meng and said, "Xiucai, how are you doing in northern Shaanxi?"

Tong Meng walked up to Xu Chaoyang and said, "Not so good. Life is stable now, but it's... boring." He said nostalgically, "It was so much fun when we were in the Northeast and Chahar. We were all cheating and deceiving each other... Hahahaha..."

The cave is full of people who lived through that period, and even my second sister laughed when she talked about those days.

"By the way, Captain, I came back to ask you for help in solving a problem."

"Didn't you transport all the machines from Dagu here? Now the equipment is in my machinery factory, but I can't install them." Xu Chaoyang nodded. He really couldn't install it. Even the people under him had to learn as apprentices for a whole year under the guidance of the master from the Dagu factory before they could figure it out. No matter how smart you are, how can you assemble the machines that have been disassembled into pieces?

"Second sister, you and Xiao Duan go over and give us a hand..."

"I won't go. You let him go. I have to follow our group to Shanxi."

Duan Jingwen stood beside the second sister and secretly tugged at the corner of her clothes. The second sister immediately cursed: "Get lost."

Hahahahaha!
The people in the room were immediately amused...

After laughing, Xu Chaoyang asked, "Where's Lao Yang?"

Chang Zhan responded, "I can't get up from the kang."

"The doctor came to see me and said that Lao Yang's illness was the result of a long-standing illness. He had to endure it until he reached Yan'an before it relapsed. He needed treatment."

How many people who have been in the Japanese mines don't have hidden injuries? In addition to the hardships and long journeys along the way, it's not easy to arrive in Yan'an, and finally be able to relax. It would be strange if they didn't get sick.

"Let's go and take a look."

Xu Chaoyang then led his men out of the cave, and walked along the row of caves until he came to a house at the edge of the slope. He pushed the door open and walked in: "Old Yang? Old Yang?"

Is there anyone in the room?!
……

770th regiment station.

At the gate of the compound, a man with a pale face and sweat all over his body walked here unsteadily. He even had difficulty turning around and stood here.

The head of the 770th Regiment had just come out of the courtyard and was complaining to the political commissar: "What the hell is going on here?"

"I have to write a self-criticism for those who came to the gate of my 770th Regiment and beat me up..."

At this moment, a kitchen knife came chopping at his head!
The commander of the 770th Regiment vaguely saw a figure and subconsciously dodged to the side - Woo!

Both the kitchen knife and the person fell to the ground!
"You are crazy!"

The head of the 770th Regiment turned around and was about to take out the gun from his waist, but he found the man lying on the ground motionless, so he changed his tone to stern questioning.

A 1.9-meter-tall man lay on the ground and used all his strength to turn around. He supported his body with his elbows and said to him, "Did you beat Qu Yong?"

The man rolled over and lay on the ground, panting. He couldn't hold on any longer and gasped for breath. He looked up to the sky and said slowly, "I'll cut it with my knife, and it's over... it's... over..."

At that time, neither the commander nor the political commissar of the 770th Regiment understood what was going on until the news spread that Qu Yong had the people of the 770th Regiment beat him up. Then the political commissar of the 217th Regiment took a kitchen knife and chopped the commander of the 770th Regiment. The 770th Regiment then sent him back to Yang Jingyu. Only then did Xu Chaoyang sigh. He finally understood Yang Jingyu's good intentions!

At the same time, he also realized that Yang Jingyu understood him to such a deep extent.

That night, Xu Chaoyang sat beside Yang Jingyu's kang and wiped Yang Jingyu's face with a towel. Yang Jingyu's face was covered with dirt and he said, "What do you think?"

Yang Jingyu smiled and responded: "I advise you, can you listen to me?"

Xu Chaoyang was happy: "No."

"Then I accept this punishment." Nothing can happen to the 217th Regiment, nothing can happen to Xu Chaoyang, and nothing can happen to these people who have managed to survive in the Northeast. This is all Yang Jingyu wanted to say, but at this moment he didn't need to say anything else. The word "accept" represented everything, because Xu Chaoyang understood.

Speechless...
