War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 718 Lift
"Chaoyang!"

"Chaoyang!"

"Come and see!"

When Xu Chaoyang led his men up to Lingshan Highland, they came to watch the grand fireworks display, but Yang Jingyu excitedly rushed to the edge of the mountain and pointed at the light that was constantly lingering in the distant sky...

"This is the result of a whole year's work at the 217th Military Division..."

"This year, Xu Chaoyang threw all the copper and iron ores from Xinzhou and Yan'an into the furnace. If he hadn't needed to make farm tools for the people during the spring planting and autumn harvest, he wouldn't have shared a single piece of iron with anyone else..." He even laughed when he said this: "If my belt hadn't been tied so tightly, he would have thrown even this little bit of iron into the furnace and turned it into a gun barrel."

"Chaoyang, how dare you pull down someone's pants?"

Xu Chaoyang was amused. "You heard him talking nonsense... When I was transferred to the 115th Division to fight in the Pingxingguan Campaign, we also fought at Tuanchengkou. Guess what he told me? He was gossiping about me and saying, 'Chaoyang, no matter how poor the 115th Division is, it still has one bullet less to shoot you.' I couldn't tell which side of his words I was listening to!"

"Hahahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter from the top of the mountain.

At this moment, the soldiers at the foot of the mountain brought up a table. Yang Jingyu turned around and began to arrange the wine and food with the soldier carrying the bag. When the others placed the long benches next to the table, the fried peanuts and egg sauce in the soldiers' hands were placed on the table as the main course.

"Please take a seat, everyone. We have been here for quite a while now, isn't it time for us, 217, to show our hospitality as hosts?"

They smiled at each other. Who would refuse? After sitting down, they looked at the fluorescent light in the sky and said, "It's a good day today. Good food, beautiful scenery... The only thing missing is a beauty? Huh? Hahahaha..."

Xu Chaoyang shook his head after hearing this: "That's really not enough. We have discipline in our military region, and we don't allow these unhealthy practices to happen..."

Xu Chaoyang deliberately said: "When the policy is relaxed, please tell me. I am still thinking about marrying a child. Otherwise, I will be alone when I am old. How anxious will it be?"

"You are beautiful!"

Snapped!
One of them stretched out his chopsticks and tapped Xu Chaoyang on the head. The other two people also laughed together. They were so happy.

At this time, Xu Chaoyang watched Yang Jingyu take out the bottle of wine from the package, then he took the bottle and said: "At present, the 217th Military Sub-district is still very poor, but I welcome you to come again next year!" That guy Xu Chaoyang said this with such certainty!
The men of the 115th Division were handsome, and they were the handsome young men of this era. But he looked at the men of the 129th Division with great curiosity, and then turned back to ask, "From what I hear, can you prepare a full-course banquet for us next year?"

Xu Chaoyang immediately shook his head: "That's not possible, but next year when we eat egg sauce, why don't I add some green onions to it?"

Bang!
Yang Jingyu, who was taking out some onions from the package on the soldier's back, smashed the onions onto the table and glared at Xu Chaoyang, saying, "Are you dissatisfied with my slow hands?"

boom……

Everyone present was so happy!

After Yang Jingyu broke the awkward smile, Xu Chaoyang picked up the bottle and said, "We in Xinzhou have banned alcohol this year. Not only alcohol, but also brewing. This is mainly due to the lack of food some time ago. This is the sake our soldiers seized on the battlefield. Everyone, drink it."

"In fact, the Japs have some good stuff. In addition to sake, they also have a kind of 'entrance wine'. They find a budding girl to hold this wine in her mouth for a certain period of time and then spit it back into the bottle to seal it. I don't know what the rules are. It's too late for us to find a grown-up girl now. If you really want to drink it, I'll do it for you reluctantly."

None of the three moved, and they just smiled at his vulgar joke...

Xu Chaoyang said with a bit of embarrassment: "It's a bit presumptuous, isn't it?" "Chaoyang."

The 115th Division finally spoke up and said, "When I won my first big victory, I was also alone in the room, excited for a long time. I waved my fists at the air. My overly tense brain couldn't stop the excitement after the war. I couldn't sleep no matter what I said. I was so tired that it seemed as if all the energy in my body had been drained."

"You may not have noticed anything different about yourself yet, but tomorrow, after this victory, you will be completely empty, as if nothing in this world can arouse your interest anymore."

"By then, if anyone mentions weapons and equipment to you, you will think it is nothing."

"If someone talks to you about staffing again, you'll get inexplicably irritated."

He stood up, walked to Xu Chaoyang, gently took the bottle of sake from his hand, and filled the bowl that had just been placed in front of Xu Chaoyang: "At this time, you are only interested in greater victory. You feel that it is right to sacrifice anyone in order to achieve victory. Anyone who says one more word is hypocritical. You will gradually become arrogant and look down on others."

Xu Chaoyang was stunned.

"I didn't say you shouldn't be happy."

But the person opposite him still said gently: "Under such difficult circumstances, we were able to annihilate the entire Fifth Division at Tuanchengkou. It's normal to be a little excited and a little proud..."

"But if we go any further, we will cross the line."

Xu Chaoyang's scalp felt numb. This was a kiss!

"Do you know how I solved it?"

"It was to let me go to the hospital to see the wounded soldiers coming off the battlefield... I went."

"I watched them groaning in pain while lying on the hospital beds. When I went over to help the nurses hold down the soldiers who were short of anesthesia while the doctors performed amputation surgeries on them, all the excitement and pride that came from victory disappeared."

"I slept well that night." After saying that, the man patted Xu Chaoyang on the shoulder and then returned to his seat without accusation or blame.

The 129th Division added: "That's a good thing to say."

At that second, Xu Chaoyang suddenly felt exhausted and sat down on the chair. Even though the flames were still rising in the night sky in the distance, he didn't even have the mind to look back.

At this moment, he just felt tired. The tiredness was not physical, but came from the head. It seemed that every tense brain nerve finally relaxed at this moment, causing Xu Chaoyang's hands to tremble when he wanted to pick up the wine bowl.

This is a moment that he needs to shoulder on his own. Any commander in this world needs to face the dual stimulation of "victory and failure". The difference is that one is over-excitement and the other is over-depression. Both of them are fatal.

Snapped.

At this moment, Xu Chaoyang's wrist was held by someone. The 1.93-meter-tall man held his wrist with his palm-leaf-leaf-fan-like hand, and forcibly brought the wine bowl to his mouth steadily. He said, knowing what had happened, "Are you craving for alcohol? There's a guy like him at the east end of our hometown village in Henan. His hands shake when he's craving for alcohol... Don't worry, I'll take care of your drinking from now on!"

He looked at Xu Chaoyang with an extremely determined look, as if he would rather integrate his entire life into Xu Chaoyang's world, and rely on the general grid to completely lift him up - without any regrets.
