War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 663: The days go by and there is more hope!

"Keqin, you must be careful when you take your sister to America this time. Your sister is very weak. Do you hear me?"

"When you get there, quickly build a Qing Gang branch. Remember, you must not act recklessly without my supervision. It's not like here. Here we have guns and cannons, but when you get there, even if I want to bring people to rescue you, it will be too late."

"Also, you have to be respectful to Situ. If you feel that something he asks you to do is inappropriate, you can choose not to do it, but you must not do something he doesn't allow you to do. Do you understand?"

"Once you have established the Qing Gang and have established a firm foothold, you are not allowed to get involved in matters involving U.S. dollars. If you don't get involved, the police on the other side will be unable to do anything to you. Safety comes first."

"If someone contacts you, treat them well and don't offend them... Remember, don't agree to anything. I mean 'don't agree to anything'!"

Xu Chaoyang began to hesitate. His wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he could no longer stay in Xin County. He could only release Yuan Keqin from the mint and send the siblings to America.

But how can I bear to do that?

Yuan Fuzhen has given birth to a child for the Xu family, and sending her away now would be like cutting a piece of meat from Xu Chaoyang's heart.

Xu Chaoyang, who had never been a father, didn't know what it felt like to miss a child, but when he was about to have hope, the feeling of sending his wife away made him hate the Japanese even more.

The question is, what else can we do if we don’t send him away?
Later, the fierce battle of Xuzhou, the retreat from Wuhan, and the battle of Changsha against Xue Lao Hu shocked the world. All these things were in front of Xu Chaoyang. Could he not participate in the battle of Xuzhou? Could he not participate in other battles? Even if he did not participate in those battles, after 217 was fattened up, could Xu Chaoyang stay there?
The 217th Military Sub-district had just established its "Operations Department" these days, and was formulating "counterattack" plans every day. Xu Chaoyang had simulated the Japanese in Tuanchengkou and Datong in his mind countless times, and was just waiting for the day when the arsenal would start operating.

What happened in 1938?
What happened to the Japanese during their peak period?

If Xu Chaoyang didn't have the courage to push the Japanese into the sea and fight back to his hometown during their peak period, what kind of clothes would he wear? Wouldn't it be nice to continue to fight against the trolls online at home and enjoy the air conditioning?

"Brother-in-law, if you really need my help, then I won't leave..." Yuan Keqin felt that his brother-in-law was a little reluctant to leave him, so he said this.

"Bullshit!" Xu Chaoyang made Yuan Keqin laugh: "If you don't go, what if your sister is bullied abroad?"

"Then I'll be back soon."

"Isn't that different?"

Xu Chaoyang patted Yuan Keqin on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead with peace of mind. Remember to send more telegrams back."

In late spring, just as summer was about to begin, Xu Chaoyang sent his wife and Yuan Keqin away, and also sent a squad of veterans from the guard battalion and a squad of soldiers from the 67th Regiment to escort them.

Before leaving, Yuan Fuzhen cried so hard that her voice became distorted and she kept choking with sobs. Xu Chaoyang was really at a loss. He wanted to get some fruit for his wife, but he had to ask someone to dress up as ordinary people and go to Taiyuan to buy it. The small apples he bought were not even as big as the larger sand apples grown in the Northeast. During the New Year, Yuan Fuzhen wanted to eat some green leafy vegetables, but he didn't have any. How could he keep her by his side?

At that time, Xu Chaoyang had no choice but to make a joke: "In our Northeast, green leafy vegetables are generally called 'grass'. What's good to eat? Eat radish, radish is good for digestion."

If the child had not been born yet, he would have asked someone to find a ditch and fish out turtles from it to produce milk for the child.

But what can he do?
In Xin County, where there were no refrigerators and the people had not yet learned how to build greenhouses, the only things they could eat were stored radishes and cabbages. The radishes and cabbages that Xu Chaoyang ate were so delicious that his farts in the middle of the night smelled like radishes.

Xin County is poor...

But it’s strange that the poorer the place, the more people there are.

The people around, the people who had fled from Chahar to avoid the "war disaster", were willing to come here as if they had heard the news of "land distribution in Xin County", saying that they had heard that the soldiers in Yan'an were kind to the people, and they were happy to settle here. How could Xu Chaoyang not be happy?
Not only did their military region have the manpower, but they also specially formed district brigades, county squads and village militias. Once these teams were set up, there was more work to do. Not only did they have to carry out construction in Xin County, but the towns and villages below also began to build houses. Otherwise, there would be no room for so many people.

The county government was also very busy. It had to teach the people how to read and farm, and also build houses for them... The head of the military sub-district was the same. He even interfered with the people's farming affairs and insisted on dividing the land in Xinkou, saying that many Japanese soldiers were buried there and the land was fertile. But the people felt it was unlucky and were unwilling to go there. If it weren't for the county magistrate's skill, this matter would not have been suppressed.

But as soon as the spring plowing was over, when seedlings began to grow on the land of Xinkou, the people all scrambled to get the land where wars had been fought and the dead had been buried. The corn seedlings in the fields of Xinkou grew so thick and strong, it was a pleasure to look at!
As a result, the land at the foot of Lingshan Mountain and around Xin County, where a large number of Japanese were buried, which had been unwanted before, has become fertile farmland.

Yang Jingyu was very happy: "Chaoyang, this is a good idea. How about I take some people out to lure back the Japanese soldiers from the Fifth Division and kill them? They are quite suitable as fertilizer!"

How can it be unqualified?

Almost all the Japanese soldiers from the four mixed brigades of Chahar were buried in Xinzhou. Every inch of land in Xinzhou was soaked with the blood of the soldiers and the Japanese. At midnight, the outside of Xin County was filled with the howling of wolves gnawing on corpses. This year in Xinzhou, as long as the weather is right, there will be a good harvest at least.

This day... is beautiful!

The days passed one by one. The few remaining soldiers of the Fifth Division seemed to be frightened by Xu Chaoyang's attack. They were stuck at Tuanchengkou and dared not move forward. The Japanese soldiers of the Chahar Corps seemed to have been reinforced and began to be sent to Yanmenguan and Ruyuekou, but those soldiers did not come to cause trouble for Xinzhou.

In the vast province of Shanxi, only Yangquan and Pingding were constantly at war. Several county towns outside Xinzhou and Ruyuekou became unsupervised areas. Neither the Japanese nor the 217th were willing to cross the line first, as if they all knew that whoever reached out first would be beaten, and they actually maintained a special balance in a state of war.

"Report!!!"

In late summer, when Xu Chaoyang stood on the city wall and looked down at Xin County, he saw a vast expanse of green in front of him. Corn had grown, and there were fields of peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, cabbages... Anyway, all these common things were growing well. However, compared with the era that Xu Chaoyang was familiar with, these things growing in the fields were still far inferior to what he was familiar with.

However, Xu Chaoyang can no longer help. It is true that he can fight a little, but if you insist on asking him to become an all-rounder and remember how rice is hybridized and how corn yield is increased, that is really asking too much.

Being able to talk about "photosynthesis" to increase yields is already the limit of Xu Chaoyang's ability in farming. That's all he can do. At best he can come up with a concept and tell the folks what a greenhouse is like, but he is completely clueless about how to build one.

"speak!"

Xu Chaoyang didn't even look back, and Yang Jingyu went to meet the communications soldier.

Without saying a word, the signalman took out a letter from his backpack and said, "It's a letter from Yan'an, and he specifically asked me to have the commander open it personally."

Hearing this, Xu Chaoyang turned his head.

Letter from Yan'an...

It's not like they didn't have a radio station before, but now they have to write a letter and have someone deliver it. What kind of confidentiality level can reach this level?

The moment Yang Jingyu made way and looked back at Xu Chaoyang, he walked over, took the letter from the communications soldier, tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper. As soon as he unfolded it, he saw that there was only one line of words and a signature on the huge letter!
"Xiaoduo has left America and is on his way back!"

"Mr. Xia."

Snapped!
Xu Chaoyang slapped the parapet of Xin County's city wall. The days passed more and more promising!
