War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 675: Food Robbing! (11 votes in November)
During the day, when Xu Chaoyang returned to Xin County, he picked up the phone that he had barely used twice and called the Military Commission in Yan'an...

"Mr. Wu, I need information, but I can't contact Mr. Xia right now..."

"You need information? You need information and you called me when you can't contact Lord Xia?"

Xu Chaoyang listened to Mr. Wu's voice on the phone, took a deep breath and said, "This is very important!"

"The victims have already blocked the Shiguanling area. If I don't deal with it immediately, I will have two choices: either watch them starve to death, or shoot them and drive them away."

"What information do you want?"

"I want the transportation information of the government's relief grain..."

……

This is how Xu Chaoyang obtained the information on the transportation of relief grain from the National Government. From the time he requested the information to the time the information was found in Yan'an and conveyed to the 217th Military Sub-district, it took a total of eight and a half hours.

So, how detailed is this information?
Everything is available, including where the grain was raised, who handled it, how it was transported, what the total amount was, and how much was left after it arrived in Shanxi and had to be changed trains due to different track gauges.

Mr. Wu even said this when conveying the message: "I'm afraid not a single grain of this grain will fall into the hands of the common people. I also heard that Commander Yan has already run out of food in order to support Wei Lihuang's troops to help him defend Taiyuan."

After saying this, the phone hung up.

Mr. Wu never asked a single question from beginning to end: "What do you want this information for?"

Didn't ask a single question...

……

"shot!"

"shot!"

After the train was forced to stop, the doors of the two iron carriages were opened. Inside the doors was the guard team escorting the grain. And based on how much importance Yan Laoxizi attached to this batch of grain... they actually prepared heavy machine guns in the carriages.

Boom boom boom boom boom!
Under the cover of night, heavy machine guns suddenly opened fire. On both sides of each door, two groups of gunfire kept flashing in the night sky. The Sichuan troops rushing towards the carriages fell down in groups...

But when Xu Chaoyang saw the Sichuan Army soldiers falling one after another, there was no worry on his face. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Deng Xihou.

"Put it harder!"

Deng Xihou shouted into the dense forest: "Commander Xu is going to laugh at our Sichuan Army!"

Da da da da da da da!

In the dense forest, gunfire suddenly broke out everywhere. When those gunfires were firing at the heavy machine guns in the carriage, sparks from the impact of bullets continued to appear on the iron sheet of the entire carriage.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

The sound of bullets penetrating the thin layer of iron sheet in the carriage continued to ring out. Xu Chaoyang watched helplessly as the machine gunner of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army Escort Team, illuminated by the muzzle flash, fell off the train under the ruthless coverage of bullets.

At the front of the train, a Sichuan Army soldier jumped directly onto the train holding a knife. The train driver, wearing a black uniform, had his hands raised above his head, clearly indicating his surrender. The Sichuan Army soldier chopped him down with his knife - snap!
Until the long knife passed through his neck and blood spurted out, the Sichuan Army soldier said as if he was slow to react: "Surrender? Why didn't you say so earlier! I've already raised the knife, how can I hold it back!"

He even joked with the corpse...

Xu Chaoyang almost laughed out loud when he saw this kid showing off on the battlefield. He had always heard about the humor of Sichuan people.

He had heard people say that in history, the Sichuan Army of Fuji County was unparalleled in bravery. Even though their weapons frequently malfunctioned, they would still throw countless grenades when the Japanese rushed forward, blowing them up. If the grenades failed to repel the Japanese, they would rush forward with blades in hand. Every time they killed a Japanese, a naughty Sichuan Army soldier would shout, "One, two..." Seeing it today, it really lived up to its reputation. This was a unit that was happy even in battle.

But it was this same unit that was so ruthless in its attacks during the battle that Xu Chaoyang had never heard of or seen before.

After they kill someone, they dare to look into the victim's eyes. Can you bear this?

Xu Chaoyang watched helplessly as a Sichuan Army soldier rushed into the iron carriage and stabbed a Shanxi Suiyuan Army soldier lying on the ground in the chest with his bayonet. He then stared at the man who was slowly dying with his teeth bared, as if he was competing with the other to see who was more ferocious.

Generally, only in areas with a strong underworld atmosphere can such people with evil spirits be raised, such as in the Northeast where bandits are everywhere, the Qing Gang that rose due to the canal transportation, and the Hongmen that is always inseparable from the ruling party...

Xu Chaoyang remembered that among the three major gangs in the country, in addition to the Qing Gang and the Hongmen, there is also the Gelaohui, and the robe in the phrase "I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you" refers to the robe of the Sichuan Pao brothers!

Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing are the birthplaces of the Gelaohui. Compared to the "politics" of the Hongmen and the "money" of the Qing Gang that got their start from the canal transportation, in addition to brotherhood, they value the word "ruthlessness" more. This group of people travel the world by relying on this word "ruthlessness", and there is only one kind of person in the world who can control them, and that is the Sichuan and Chongqing Tyrannosaurus!

But there are exceptions to everything, and Chengdu in Xu Chaoyang's era was an exception... That place seemed to be cursed and covered by a funhouse mirror, with everything curved.

Xu Chaoyang seemed to understand all at once why the Sichuan Army was so good at fighting and could quickly make its name known throughout the country. It turned out that the root of their bravery and ferocity lay here.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

The Sichuan troops searched densely along the train carriages one after another. Anyone who jumped off the train was hacked to death, and anyone who tried to escape was shot. On the entire grain truck, there was a guard team of nearly a battalion who were wiped out by the Sichuan troops in the blink of an eye, and corpses were scattered on both sides of the railway track.

At this time, a regiment commander in charge of commanding this battle ran towards Xu Chaoyang and Deng Xihou. It was unknown whether this guy wore his hat crooked on purpose or it got crooked during the battle. Anyway, he stood in front of Deng Xihou's horse with his hat crooked on: "Report!"

"The Jinsui Army's guards were completely wiped out!"

"No one should be left alive."

Deng Xihou simply nodded and said, "Load the food."

"Yes!"

At this moment, Deng Xihou turned around and looked at Xu Chaoyang and said, "Isn't this old man Yan too careless? With so much food, he only uses one battalion to transport it. Isn't he afraid of something going wrong?"

Oh, that guy was the one who pretended...

What Deng Xihou meant was that this battle was too easy. He had pretended something similar to Xu Chaoyang more than once. Even Qu Yong would say, "You saw me at my worst." Xu Chaoyang was familiar with this.

"How can we not be careless? There is Fu Zuoyi in front and Taiyuan behind. This is the safest way. Besides, there is a battalion of guards escorting the food. Which group of bandits dares to attack the Shanxi Suiyuan Army with heavy machine guns?"

Deng Xihou raised his chin and said proudly, "I am the old man!"

He was said to be fat and he also had asthma.

At this time, Xu Chaoyang put his index finger and thumb to his mouth again and whistled. When the whistle sounded, several car lights lit up in the dense forest. Xu Chaoyang seldom used these trucks captured by the Japanese. If it were not for the need for a quick victory this time, he would not have brought the trucks out. They consumed too much fuel.

“Load the car!”

Xu Chaoyang waved his whip and pointed in the direction of the train. The newly trained drivers of 217 began to reverse the front of the car, aiming the rear of the car at the door of the metal car of the truck and backed over...

In this way, cart after cart of grain was filled and transported to Shiling Pass!
Xu Chaoyang and Deng Xihou returned with the lawless Sichuan Army after causing a terrible disaster.
