War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 720: What a quick mind!
"Down!"

"Tuanchengkou has been taken!"

"Xu Chaoyang was really generous. He fired more than 700 shells in one go, blowing up the entire mountain!"

Wang Hongkun ran with the battle report, rushed into the courtyard and started shouting without even entering the house.

"Bring it quickly!"

The headquarters now has electricity. One of the two sets of thermal power plant equipment that Xu Chaoyang purchased at a high price remained in Yan'an, but this set of equipment only supplies electricity to mines and oil fields.

"Look, Xu Chaoyang won a great victory that made people... I don't know how to describe it!"

On the table where they were standing was a map of Tuanchengkou.

"This Xu Chaoyang!"

"Last time at Tuanchengkou, he used the New 1st Regiment as bait to completely wipe out the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division; in Xinzhou, he used his own record as bait to surround the four mixed brigades of the Chahar Corps in Xinzhou, and used the National Government, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and our army of hundreds of thousands of people to encircle and suppress them!"

"This time, Itagaki Seishirō was trapped at the entrance of Tuancheng. With fewer troops and no possibility of backup, anyone would think that this would be another encirclement and suppression. However, Xu Chaoyang did not send any troops. Instead, he used the entire year's output of Xinzhou to launch more than 700 artillery shells."

"If I were Itagaki Seishirō, I'd be so angry that I'd die, hahahahahaha..."

"This is all thanks to Xu Chaoyang for not sending troops. The battle report said that poisonous smoke was floating over Tuanchengkou, making it impossible for 217 to clean up the battlefield. Even the birds flying around had to fly around... I guess this was something Itagaki prepared for 217. He didn't just win a great victory, he also avoided a disaster!"

"How can this be a disaster that was avoided? This is clearly a disaster that someone has taken on for this Monkey King."

"If you don't agree, can we just go to Xin County?"

"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this. The war has been won, right? We should be happy if we win."

"I guess Xu Chaoyang's next move will be to send troops out of Laoye Temple and lock Pingxingguan, so as to set up a springboard and prepare to take Lingqiu, so that we will have a supply point behind Datong."

"I guess Xu Chaoyang can't move a step!"

"He has no ammunition..." "It was already a stretch for Xu Chaoyang to win this battle and annihilate the entire Fifth Division in the true sense, but this was the result of his whole year of operation in Xin County."

"Can the Tuanchengkou that was shattered by the shells provide ammunition support to 217?"

"Can't you?"

"More than 700 artillery shells and more than 600,000 rounds of bullets have been deployed in this battle. In addition, there is the spare ammunition of the mechanized 1st Cavalry Battalion. Those were all the remnants of the Japanese ammunition depot that Xu Chaoyang looted during the Xinkou Campaign. How much can he have left?"

"People, if they don't have money in their waists, they can't be strong. If they don't have food in their stomachs, they can't lift their heads. Now, Xu Chaoyang must be looking at Lingqiu anxiously."

"So, this opportunity is just abandoned?"

"What will happen if the child has no money in his pocket?"

"go home."

"Just wait and see. Before long, an unsatisfied child will come back to complain about his parents..." "Hahahahaha."

The room erupted in laughter again.

……

Wuhan.

This water and land port, which has been used for thousands of years, has now become very messy. The last batch of troops transporting supplies to Chongqing are constantly busy. Military vehicles are running everywhere on the streets, and planes are taking off from the airport...

And Diary Brother was looking at the newspaper on the desk in the office.

This was the gift he intended to leave for the Japanese. On the front page of the newspaper, there was a striking headline of only three words - Wanjialing!

Afterwards, the entire page was filled with Xue Lao Hu’s meticulous operations in the Wanjialing victory.

This time he also had a signboard, after all, Li Zongren still made him feel uneasy...

"report!"

At the open office door, a soldier rushed in carrying a document. Diary Brother looked up and glared at him: "What are you panicking about! Is the sky falling?"

The soldier then slowed down his pace and came over, gently placed the document on the desk and said, "Shanxi... a great victory."

bass!
Diary Brother stood up and asked: "Did the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also win?"

The soldier lowered his head. "It was the Eighteenth Army that left Xinkou and successively conquered Fanshi, Daying, Zhongzhuangpu, and Tuanchengkou. If they can take Pingxingguan, they will be back to the situation before the Fifth Division entered Tuanchengkou... and..."

"What else!"

"He also claimed that 'I would have no regrets even if I died to recover my country'..." When the soldier said this, he raised his head and took a look at the diary-reading man's expression.

Diary Brother was in his sight, lost in thought for a second, then immediately looked up: "Send a congratulatory message!"

"Send a congratulatory message immediately!"

"Concurrent warrant!"

"The area from Xinzhou to Tuanchengkou and even northern Shanxi will be established as a 'special war zone' under the Second War Zone, with Xu Chaoyang as the commander-in-chief!"

The soldier was stunned. Diary Brother slammed the table with his hand and shouted angrily, "Go!"

The soldier immediately turned around and trotted away. Brother Diary picked up the phone and said, "Hello, it's me. Immediately send a telegram to all newspapers and magazines in the country. All newspapers and magazines that have been ordered to close their accounts must report positively on the war in Shanxi from now on. Tomorrow morning, I want to see Xu Chaoyang's name on the first page of all newspapers and magazines!"

He has a really quick mind and is bad enough!
But his tactics of maneuvering that enabled him to dominate the world were completely used in the wrong place!
