War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 670 Meizi, here you are! (Thanks to 'Shanggu Dachun' for the 1000 reward)

As a person from Northeast China, Xu Chaoyang does not have a deep feeling about spring and autumn. These two seasons seem to be covered up and are not so obvious in Northeast China.

But Shanxi is different. Here, the four seasons are distinct.

Moreover, some people say that the 24 solar terms were determined based on the climate in southern Shanxi; some people say that the earliest meteorological observatory site in the world is in Taosi, Xiangfen County, Shanxi. In other words, in the eyes of the ancients, that place was the standard; some people even say that the earliest birthplace of solar term culture was actually in Shanxi...

However, Xu Chaoyang was not in the mood to feel the atmosphere of Shanxi. The reason why he rushed to the Xinkou Defense Line early in the morning was to pick someone up.

Xiaoduo is back!
After getting off the boat at Yuezhou, he returned to northern Shaanxi by hiding his whereabouts and traveling at night. Today is the day he returns to Xin County after reporting on his work in northern Shaanxi.

Then could Xu Chaoyang not come to pick me up?
They risked their lives to cross the ocean, and you didn't come to pick them up? Is that appropriate?

Not only did Xu Chaoyang come, he also called Lao Yang and Deng Xihou, just to let the Sichuan Army know how rich Xu Chaoyang is!
"Chaoyang, is that group of people Xiaoduo?"

When Xu Chaoyang looked in the direction Yang Jingyu pointed, he saw a group of people gathering at the foot of the mountain outside Xinkou. But after seeing it clearly, Xu Chaoyang couldn't let go of his worry at all, because he no longer recognized the person who was getting closer and closer to Xinkou.

The group of 50 to 60 people was getting closer and closer to Xinkou. When they got in front of Xu Chaoyang, one of them rushed over with excitement and shouted loudly: "Commander! We are back!"

Xu Chaoyang didn't dare to admit it!

Is he still Xiaoduo?

Is he still the same strong and muscular Xiaoduo?
How did he become so thin?

Xiaoduo was so skinny that it was hard to describe him as skin and bones. His cheeks were sunken and his eye sockets were pulled inward, making his eyeballs the most prominent part of his face. The outline of his skull could be clearly seen under the skin!
What kind of sin did he have to endure to be tortured like this?
"Duo?"

Xu Chaoyang looked for a long time before recognizing Xiaoduo. Yang Jingyu immediately urged You Kui, "Cook, hurry up, cook for the children!"

Xu Chaoyang took a quick look and saw that there were only about fifty people left who had returned with Xiaoduo: "They, are all staying in Yan'an?" Xu Chaoyang felt that it was not very safe for so many people to come to Xinkou together. It would be a better choice to leave some people in Yan'an and send others over, and then send another batch in a few days.

Xiao Duo smiled and said to Xu Chaoyang: "They all sacrificed themselves."

There were no tears in his eyes anymore, but his serious expression didn't seem like he was joking. Besides, how could one joke about something like this?
"Did something happen after you got to Situ's place?" Xu Chaoyang asked tentatively.

Xiao Duo shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with the Hongmen, it's mainly when I came back..."

He looked back at the people behind him and said, "I was anxious to bring the money back, so I rejected Situ's request for us to stay in San Francisco to recuperate. However, when we were boarding the ship, some people in the team caught a cold."

These days, colds can be fatal. Not to mention these days, even in Xu Chaoyang's era, tens of thousands of people died from the flu in America across the ocean.

"That's right. Almost all of us were put into the container. If there wasn't someone who could speak foreign languages ​​in the container this time, we could have communicated with the crew and moved the bodies out of the container... We are not sure if these people can come back."

Yang Jingyu asked curiously, "Has anyone among you learned foreign languages?"

Xiaoduo shook his head: "Even if they are not our people, they would know how to do it anyway."

"Wait a moment."

Xu Chaoyang stopped him and became more and more confused. Just as he was about to continue asking, a cook from the New 1st Regiment came running over wearing an apron and said, "Report, the noodles are ready."

"Let's go, eat and talk."

Five or six large pots were set up behind Xinkou, and cornmeal noodles were put into the pots one by one. As soon as Xu Chaoyang led his men to the pots, the people from the kitchen handed bowls and chopsticks to the soldiers and picked up a bowl of steaming noodles for each of them.

But Xiaoduo and his people slurped noodles as if they were dying. Yang Jingyu saw this and asked, "Does Yan'an not provide food?"

"Yes." Xiao Duo finally found a moment to respond, "The first meal we had when we arrived in Yan'an was almost eaten up by the Yangjialing Guards."

The problem is, their hollowed-out bodies cannot be replenished with just one or two meals.

But what Xu Chaoyang was thinking was that they were so hungry even though they had so much money on their backs!

"Here, add an egg."

The cook held a ladle and added freshly laid eggs to their bowls. As soon as the egg got into Xiaoduo's bowl, he picked it up with chopsticks. Xu Chaoyang watched as the boy stuffed the whole egg into his mouth.

Xiaoduo ate four bowls of two large bowls of cornmeal noodles by himself. In the end, he couldn't eat any more and couldn't stand up from the pot.

Xu Chaoyang looked at Xiaoduo at this time. His whole body was as thin as a bamboo pole, except for his belly... which was round!
Xiao Duo then started talking again and told them everything that happened after they arrived in America. He also said sarcastically: "Situ even asked me how much money I would like to stay and work for him?" The pride on his face was still there even though he was almost unrecognizable after being so thin.

"Commander, I have another question."

When Xu Chaoyang and the others were looking at Xiao Duo with pity, he spoke again.

"You say." Not to mention that he still had a question, even if he made any request, Xu Chaoyang couldn't bear to refuse. Except for another bowl of noodles, this group of people really couldn't eat any more, and Xu Chaoyang was afraid that they would get too full.

"Radar, what the hell is that?"

Xu Chaoyang's eyes widened in an instant: "How did you know about the radar?"

"Didn't we rescue a group of Chinese workers? There was a man among them who kept muttering about radar and tubes every day. He also said that the construction site where we rescued the Chinese workers was a radar base station that the Americans were going to build. He made it very clear. My ears are getting calluses from hearing it all the time." Xu Chaoyang immediately remembered. He couldn't tell how radar was invented or when the research began, but during World War II, radar fell into the hands of the English, who used the technology to amplify the radar waves, giving the radar the effect of long-range early warning. Since then, this thing has been frequently used in military purposes, and the Americans were the best among them.

"What about people?"

Xiaoduo didn't even bother to turn his head and shouted, "Wu'er? Xiao Wu!"

A thin and hardworking man came over with a bowl of rice. There was still half a bowl of noodles left in the bowl. His belly was as round as Xiaoduo's.

Xiao Duo was delighted when he saw him: "Commander, this kid said he had been to many countries, such as England, France, and America. After returning from studying, he was beaten with clubs on the streets of Yuezhou and loaded onto a ship as a pig."

"He kept mumbling in foreign languages. We had to rely on him to survive in the container these days. He spoke French, English, and even Italian. We didn't know if he was trying to fool us."

Xu Chaoyang looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Who is he?"

"Taicang...Liuhe..."

Taicang!

Liuhe!

Last name: Wu!

Xu Chaoyang immediately asked: "Who is Wu Jianxiong to you?"

"My sister."

Your sister?

The top physicist who participated in America's top secret project and had Oppenheimer as her mentor after she went to the United States to study in 1936, the top-notch scientist known as the 'Oriental Madame Curie', is your sister!

Your sister!!
While Xu Chaoyang was stunned, Xiao Wu suddenly became serious. The "crazy" energy in his body completely disappeared. He put the bowl on the ground, wiped his mouth with his sleeve to show his respect for science and said, "You are the leader, right?"

"I have something very important to tell you!"

Xu Chaoyang looked at him, motionless.

This time, when Xiao Wu introduced himself again, Xiao Duo felt that he seemed different.

"I want to tell you that America has already achieved a technological level that is beyond the entire era. They have covered the entire coastline with radar base stations..."

"In their country, cars are everywhere, and the construction machinery used on every construction site is something we have never seen in our country!"

"I'm not exaggerating. The combat effectiveness of their army is incomparable to the Japanese invaders wreaking havoc on our country's territory. I came back a few years ago to serve my country... At that time, America had not yet become what it is now, but in just a few years, they have been changing rapidly at a rate that changes every year... Leadership and technology are the masters of the future. You must believe every word I say!"

"Leader, can you understand what I am saying?"

Why didn’t Xu Chaoyang understand?

How could he not understand!
Not only does he understand, he knows more than you!
When Xiao Duo saw that Xu Chaoyang was silent, he said, "What he said is true."

"Chief, I saw with my own eyes the gangsters fighting on the streets of San Francisco using submachine guns and driving cars."

"In their area, there are huge ships in the sea that I have never seen in my life!"

"Commander, do you still remember the H217Y used by your 34? That was a weapon that our soldiers envied so much? But over there, it was just a standard weapon for ordinary soldiers in the army."

"By the way, there's also this."

Xiao Duo carefully tore open a corner of the clothes and took out a piece of paper from between the two pieces of cloth: "This is a blueprint of all the parts that Situ had someone dismantle a Garand rifle and specially asked someone to draw. If we can also produce it and everyone can have one, then why should we be afraid of the Japanese?"

After saying this, Xiao Duo took off his clothes and unloaded the US dollar bills wrapped in cloth tied to his body. He placed the stacks of bills in front of Xu Chaoyang with great care. Then, all the soldiers behind him handed over the money they had on them. Only then did they stand at attention and salute in front of Xu Chaoyang for the first time!
"Report to the commander, our mission has been accomplished!"

Xu Chaoyang looked at their bodies covered with skin diseases, their frail bodies, and how they were carrying a huge sum of money that was an astronomical sum in this era, but they made themselves look like beggars...

Xu Chaoyang also stood up, stood at attention very formally, straightened his body, and returned the military salute vigorously.

They can afford it.

"Old Yang, in the name of the 217th Military Sub-district, report the achievements of Xiao Duo and others to the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region!"

"They are the eternal heroes of 217!"

"He is the eternal hero of this country!!"
