War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 520 It’s really lively tonight!

To the east of Fanshi, Guo Zong burned his tribe to death.

In the tent at the foot of the mountain, Guo Zongfen was reading a newspaper. His oval head kept shaking under the oil lamp. He said with a little regret, without any anger in his mouth: "It's Xu Chaoyang again..."

"Why can't the superiors understand? In this world, when a general is about to rise, you can't stop him at all!"

"Tianjin won the battle, but you didn't say a word to them;"

"SH won again, but you insisted that it was the German-equipped division's credit;"

"It works this time. Xu Chaoyang has been holding back a lot and has wiped out the 21st Brigade at Tuanchengkou!"

"How did you hide this?"

"The Red Zone is promoting this with great fanfare every day, how can you hide it?"

"Soviet newspapers reported this great victory extensively; even the Japanese newspapers declared it to be 'a shame they could never wash away'..."

"Only the Jinling newspapers did not publish a single word about it. Even Mr. Mei, the president of the Southwest Associated University, which had not yet been built, asked the government in a Changsha newspaper why such important news was concealed from the world."

"Right now, I'm afraid even if all the people in the Jinling Headquarters held a meeting together, they wouldn't be able to figure out the reason, right?"

Guo Zongfen, a graduate of the infantry department of the Baoding Military Academy, has an oval head and is slightly bald, but that doesn't mean he is unreasonable.

In the Tuanchengkou victory, the 115th Division wiped out more than 21 Japanese soldiers from the st Brigade, causing Itagaki Seishirō to become furious and start looting supplies frantically. It was clear that he was going to lead the th Division to the south to avenge the humiliation!
In the Japanese rear, from Terauchi Hisaichi to Katsuki Seiji, two urgent orders were issued within a few days to hold Itagaki Seishirō accountable. The headlines of the Japanese newspapers these days are all "Tuanchengkou". As long as the words "Tuanchengkou" are pasted, they will be sold out immediately. Are you still hiding it?
In the Soviet Union, three newspapers said 'the red sky is rising in the east, and the beasts will roar under the red light';
In Changsha, Southwest Associated University had not yet been built, but Mr. Mei had also heard about this. He used Changsha newspapers to question the National Government, asking how this wave of public opinion could be suppressed!

I’m afraid that in a few days, the student demonstrations will begin again?
Bell~
the phone is ringing.

He picked up the phone and immediately gave his name: "Guo Zongfen!"

"Yes!"

Then he immediately responded.

The call was from Fu Zuoyi, who only said one sentence: "The key to the war right now is that we must not be distracted. No matter what happens, we must wait until after the war!"

These are the original words.

Obviously, the leaders of all parties knew that they could no longer cover it up...

"Reporting to the commander, I, Guo Zongfen, will keep a close eye on Fanzhi at all times. If he dares to invade Ekou, I will attack him!"

The call was hung up, but Guo Zongfen looked at the person who had just hung up the phone as if waiting for something. About a minute later...

bell!
The phone rang again.

"I'm Guo Zongfen." He answered the phone just like last time, but this time, it was Old Lady Yan's voice that came through the phone: "Xu Chaoyang's affairs with the government are none of our business, and he is fighting the Japanese invaders on the battlefield in Shanxi to save the country!"

"Our unit, adhering to the principle of not advocating, not publicizing, actively cooperating, and not causing conflicts, will work with the 115th Division to stabilize the Shanxi battlefield and will never allow the Japanese invaders to set foot in Xinkou!"

"Sir, you mean...active cooperation?"

"Nonsense, we are now united in the fight against Japan. Do you want me to be under the same pressure of public opinion as Jinling?"

"I don't care whether he is from the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, the Sichuan Army or the 115th Division. Even if he is a bandit, as long as he fights against the Japanese on the battlefield in Shanxi, he is fighting against the Japanese on the ground in Shanxi. Can't you see this?"

"Also, I'll tell you another piece of news."

This sentence aroused all of Guo Zongfen's thoughts: "You say."

"Wei Lihuang!"

"I have received orders from Jinling to visit Yan'an."

"what!"

Can Jinling not bear it so soon?

Guo Zongfen never expected that everything would happen so quickly.

"SH, I think we will be defeated soon..."

Snapped.

The phone hung up. There had always been signs of SH's defeat, including rumors that the enemy's naval guns had caused the chairman to lose his appetite for several days.

But he didn't expect that the Chairman would bow to Yan'an!

"report!"

Outside the tent, a soldier rushed in, stood at the door, kept his mouth shut and refused to speak.

Guo Zongfen realized that this was a big deal: "Come over and talk!"

The soldier said nothing, but handed over a piece of paper with only a row of small characters on it, which read: "General Yan'an will lead the 120th Division to help in the battle of Xinkou!"

Help in the battle...Xinkou!
Yes, now Fu Zuoyi has gone to Xinkou, preparing to build a second line of defense behind Ekou to resist the attack of the Tojo Corps. But this is also a bad idea because I heard that Itagaki Seishirō was allocating supplies and might press on Tuanchengkou again at any time, which might lead to the loss of Tuanchengkou.

In the Battle of SH, the Nationalist government and various warlords sent in all their elite troops, but still ended up suffering heavy losses. Although they had not withdrawn from the battle yet, the final result was already known to everyone.

This battle was truly epic and made the whole world see the determination of the National Government to fight against the Japanese. Even the Japanese themselves tried several times to negotiate with the Chairman, but the Chairman always ignored them, preferring to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives rather than negotiate peace.

Regarding this matter, at least the chairman has expressed his attitude.

Perhaps this is the source of Yan Laoxizi's cowardice in the face of Itagaki Seishirō's massive pressure.

Indeed, the battle of Tuanchengkou was won, but the enemy was the 21st Brigade. The annihilation of a brigade really ignited the flame of the national anti-Japanese war sentiment for the people...

But what if Itagaki Seishirō attacks in full force and fails to win?

The Japanese troops are about to attack Niangzi Pass, which is clearly an attempt to connect the north and the south and completely open up the connection between the two battlefields!

Once Itagaki Seishirō's battle of honor begins, the entire Fifth Division will certainly put everything on the line.

By then, the situation facing Shanxi would be extremely dangerous.

Can Xu Chaoyang withstand the attack of Itagaki Seishirō?
When Guo Zongfen had this thought, he was suddenly stunned. Why did he begin to expect Xu Chaoyang to win another beautiful victory in Tuanchengkou?
"report!"

"Enter!"

Guo Zongfen crumpled the note in his hand and then looked up at the soldiers at the door.

"Report, the 115th Regiment of the 688th Division is attacking Tiejialing!"

Guo Zongfen's eyes widened instantly: "Say it again, which unit?"

"115th Division...688th Regiment."

Guo Zongfen immediately looked at the map, turned around and said: "Are they going to attack our defense zone?" He didn't believe that such a force would pass through his defense zone without him getting any information about it.

"not at all!"

"What the hell did this troop fly over there? They attacked Tiejialing directly across several mountains!"

The messenger thought for a long time before saying, "Can we climb along the mountain path?"

"Even if he can fly, can he not alert the Japanese blockade set up in the mountains?"

"Report!!"

Guo Zongfen saw his men rushing into the tent and said with a wry smile: "It's really fucking lively tonight!"

"Say!"

"Report, Xu Chaoyang's 217th Brigade is forcibly attacking the blockade set up by the Japanese in the mountainous area."

"Xu Chaoyang? Isn't he in the temple? Why is he joining in the fun here?"

"Sir, it's true. The troops attacking the mountain blockade are none other than the New 217st Regiment of the th Brigade!"

　I owe you one chapter, and I'll take a day off tomorrow and resume the day after tomorrow.

　　I counted on my fingers and realized that I would be paying off my debts until the 31st... Well, I'll be able to pay it off, don't worry.
