War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 510 Supplies (Thanks to 'I'm not blaming Shushu' for the 300 reward)

The Lord's Temple.

Regiment Headquarters.

"Lift steadily and watch your feet!"

The Tuanchengkou Battle was over, but the heavy rain that night caused muddy roads and mountain torrents, making the weather in Shanxi colder overnight. What was very strange was that heavy snow fell in Shanxi in September!
Therefore, the 115th Division Headquarters ordered the troops to withdraw from Tuanchengkou, where the road was narrow, and withdraw back to the Laoye Temple line to prevent the Japanese army from attacking in large numbers and trapping our troops in Tuanchengkou and making them unable to withdraw.

Xu Chaoyang stood in front of the temple, looked at the mountains under his feet and sighed. Originally, this battle should have been pushed forward, the troops should have been pushed to Lingqiu, and Lingqiu should have been used as a fulcrum. However, this rainy and snowy weather was not only not conducive to the march, but would also put the troops in danger when encountering the enemy. It was really not my time.

He remembered that the Pingxingguan Victory in history seemed to have been fought under such circumstances. At that time, the Japanese transport team occupied Tuanchengkou and was about to advance to Pingxingguan. However, the front-line transport troops were surrounded by the 115th Division at the foot of Laoye Temple Mountain, which led to the Pingxingguan Victory.

However, with the great victory at Tuanchengkou before, the Japanese were unlikely to continue sending transport teams even if they were smart. In other words, after the 21st Brigade was annihilated at Tuanchengkou, a vacuum zone was formed around the Laoye Temple in front of Pingxingguan, and there was no trace of any Japanese troops from here to Lingqiu.

"Captain!"

"look!"

When they returned to the old temple that was once used as the regiment headquarters, the signalman rushed out as soon as he entered the courtyard, rushed to Xu Chaoyang who was standing on the hilltop and shouted: "Captain, there are brand new helmets and warm clothes in the courtyard!"

"What bullshit!"

Can Xu Chaoyang believe this?

He was unable to equip his 21st Regiment with neat steel helmets in Dagu back then, so who could deliver the steel helmets to the Laoye Temple and wait for them?

"Captain, since I was a child..."

"piss off!"

Xu Chaoyang couldn't bear to listen to the communicator's catchphrase any longer, and cursed with a smile, but he still turned and walked towards the gate of the temple. The moment he entered, he saw that the entire courtyard of the temple was filled with ammunition boxes!

Wooden ammunition boxes printed with white Japanese characters were neatly placed in the courtyard. On each ammunition box, there was a steel helmet placed in a row. However, these steel helmets were not completely new. In the sunlight, Xu Chaoyang saw that several of the steel helmets had traces of being scratched by shrapnel.

"This……"

Xu Chaoyang was stunned. Under the steel helmet was the Japanese soldier's cotton-padded jacket to keep warm, and next to the jacket were captured canned food!
"report!"

The soldiers at the foot of the mountain rushed up the hillside, stood beside Xu Chaoyang and said, "Lao Ding, a group of people came from Master Ba's side and said they were from our 217th Regiment. Why can't I understand what he said?"

You Kuier came over. Until now, this guy didn't think of himself as a soldier of the Eighth Master. Everyone who had followed Xu Chaoyang knew that this kid was Boss Fang and benefited himself. With the deception of Deputy Director Li, it would be a matter of time before he could establish himself as a king if he had a piece of territory. Really, that's what he thought.

"Go and see!"

Xu Chaoyang walked down the mountain. Along the way, he was surrounded by soldiers carrying wounded soldiers toward the temple: "Be careful, these are all our brothers!"

As soon as he got down the mountain, a troop came over from the foot of the mountain!

"report!"

"The original Border Region Workers and Peasants County Battalion was later incorporated into the 115th Division to form the Jindong Independent Guerrilla Detachment. The detachment commander, Han Shiqu, was ordered by the division headquarters to be transferred to the 217th Regiment to supplement the 217th Hero Regiment!"

Xu Chaoyang quickly stretched out his hand: "Wait a moment..."

He understood what Han Shiqu said. He was originally from northern Shaanxi, but was later absorbed into the county brigade. He followed the 115th Division to the war and was reorganized into the Jindong Guerrilla Force. Because the 217th Regiment suffered heavy losses, he was added to the 217th Regiment... But... "Who decided on the matter of the 217th Hero Regiment?"

Xu Chaoyang asked Han Shiqu in front of him.

"Captain, it's like this. After the troops were withdrawn, people from my hometown came. This time, in addition to reporting to you, we also brought a message, that is, the commander of the regiment was ordered to lead his backbone members to the division headquarters to attend the celebration banquet held."

"Due to the importance of the Laoye Temple defense line and the problem of wounded soldiers, the 217th Regiment held its own celebration banquet. The necessary supplies have been sent to Laoye Temple. They are all Japanese canned food seized from the devils, and there are pigs purchased from the surrounding areas."

"That's right, I brought them all."

Han Shiqu made way. In addition to the 1,500 soldiers he brought with him, he also had ten mule carts loaded with pork, cabbage, onions, and potatoes!
Xu Chaoyang looked at this without saying anything. Han Shiqu continued, "Oh, according to the reliable information I heard before I came here..."

"The 115th Division has already identified our 217th as the primary contributor to the Tuanchengkou Campaign. The division commander said this himself during a meeting. He said that our regiment should be promoted throughout the army. Our heroic actions at Tuanchengkou should be defined as a heroic regiment. This unit must have its own glory!"

High!

Xu Chaoyang wanted to give a thumbs up to our party’s reform policy!
You 217 have been through the Northeast Army and the National Government, right? Now you are wearing the Eighth Master's gray, and you have been conferred the title of Hero Regiment, replenished your troops, injected with pure red genes, and given the best treatment of helmets, shells, bullets, and pork. If you still have other thoughts, aren't you a traitor?

The key is that they didn't even mention reforming you, and they only wanted to treat you well...

"it is good!"

Xu Chaoyang said this word with a smile, feeling so comfortable in his heart. If the result of being transformed is to have food and drink and ammunition, then just change it, just do your best and it will be over.

"Xiao Han, send the stuff to the regiment first. The regiment will make a decision after discussion on how to reorganize your unit into 217. Now, let the brothers cook. Today, we, 217, will celebrate the great victory at Tuanchengkou first!"

"Yes!"

This was a team that didn't even have the uniforms. Some of them only wore a gray shirt, and some only had a gray military cap. But every member of this team was holding the Type 38 rifle used by the Japanese. As they walked by, Xu Chaoyang even saw melon grenades hanging from their waists.

They are not here to share your 217 equipment. They are here with their weapons. They are here to join the battle!

This big gift from the commander makes people feel comfortable. It is clearly telling you 217 that from today on you are no longer a wild child. You have a home. No matter what happens to you, your family will take care of you!
"Oh, by the way, Captain..."

As Han Shiqu led the team up the mountain, he ran back to Xu Chaoyang, stood beside him with a gun in hand and said, "Don't forget what the division commander asked you to do after reorganizing the army and going to the division headquarters."

"Got it, let's go."

Can Xu Chaoyang go with empty paws?

Someone has been opening his heart to you, how can he have the nerve to just eat and drink with his mouth open?

"Wang Tianhao!"

"To!"

"You have beautiful handwriting, write something for me..."
