War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 721: Handsome Sword
The sky is clear and clear, cloudless.

Ten miles away from Yan'an, Xu Chaoyang led the guard battalion and headed towards Yan'an. He was in such a good mood...

"Why are you so arrogant? You are skipping rubber rope with a kid."

"Two eight two five six, two eight two five Qi Er~"

Shen Guaizi glanced at the big guy while riding on his horse, and then said, "Brother, why are you in such a good mood?"

All the good things happened at the same time, how could Xu Chaoyang not be in a good mood?

Before leaving Shanxi for northern Shaanxi, the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield said, "We searched the entire battlefield but couldn't find Itagaki Seishirō's body."

At that time, Xu Chaoyang was still depressed when he heard the news, and Dr. Bai came!
When Yan'an heard that the Japanese had used poison gas bombs on the 67th Regiment, they specially sent Doctor Bai over... The most important thing is that when Doctor Bai rushed to the Tuanchengkou military camp with his translator and accompanying security personnel, he also brought a knife, saying that he had picked it up next to the half-body of a Japanese invader...

The blade of this knife is golden!
Among the Japanese, only military swords of the general level and above had golden sword pendants, but the appearance of this sword was different from all the command swords Xu Chaoyang had seen.

The level of magnificence even surpassed the 'Ceremonial Knife'. If it were to be pushed up to this level, it could only be a 'General's Knife'. After all, Xu Chaoyang had played with the 'General's Knife', and this thing was obviously not it.

As for the handsome sword, Xu Chaoyang had only heard about it. He heard that there were 24 of them in total, but the records showed that only of them were in existence, six of which were displayed in museums and six were not on public display. Muto Nobuyoshi owned one of them, and it was enshrined in the shrine.

According to Itagaki Seishirō's status in the eyes of the Japanese and the order of war criminals in history, he is indeed qualified to own a...

Xu Chaoyang was very excited. He immediately left Shanxi with his saber and headed straight for northern Shaanxi with his guard battalion.

Of course, Qu Yong was not in the guard battalion this time. Qu Yong was still the acting commander of the 67th Regiment, recruiting and training new soldiers.
The two teachers only agreed to stay in Shanxi temporarily because Xu Chaoyang was really worried about the whole war situation and was afraid that the Japanese would return after the Wuhan war. He specially asked them to stay in Shanxi to consolidate the results of the war.

As for the bigwigs of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, they could not stay for even a minute after their territory expanded. They returned to the military region on the day of the Tuanchengkou victory and moved the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region from Xin County to Dayinger. At the same time, they were constantly carrying out work to consolidate the base in Shanxi.

But this time when Xu Chaoyang returned to northern Shaanxi, he did not just deliver the knife and report the good news. He also had to report his analysis of the Khalkha River battlefield and his reading comprehension of the domestic war situation to his superiors. This was the first time that Xu Chaoyang had the confidence to stand in front of him and talk about his understanding of the entire era. Even for this, he had to rely on the victory of the Shanxi victory.

We have arrived at Yan'an. Xu Chaoyang turned around and ran towards one place, but just as he turned to the dock, he stopped again. Finally, he pulled the reins to make a circle for his horse, and then hurried over there again.

After all, you are a soldier. What are you going to do if you don't report for duty when you return to Yan'an?
With this procedure, no one can find fault with it, and it makes everyone feel respected. Why be lazy?

When Xu Chaoyang came over, all the soldiers of the guard battalion stayed in the newly provided barracks. Their original garrisons had now all been converted into functional departments. At this moment, only Shen Guaizi and the big guy were standing next to Xu Chaoyang.

"report!"

At the gate of the courtyard, the guard came over with a smile on his face: "No need to shout, I have instructed that it is you, Xu Chaoyang, who has arrived. Just go in directly, go quickly."

Xu Chaoyang walked towards the courtyard, holding his "sword" and looking like a kid who got "double 100" in elementary school, extremely excited.

I saw the person in the yard sitting on a chair in the house, smoking. He looked a little lazy, squinting his eyes and leaning against the sun. He just said "hmm" lightly, then reached out and handed over the cigarette on the armrest of the chair.

Xu Chaoyang saluted and then took the cigarette. When he was about to take it out to smoke, he put the cigarette on the table, turned around, smiled, and presented the seized sword with both hands. At that moment, his whole body was filled with a sense of honor!
"All the officers and soldiers of the 217th Division present the sword of the Fifth Division's Itagaki Seishirō. From today on, there will no longer be a Fifth Division in Jin!"

Not until these words were spoken did Xu Chaoyang finally feel a sense of honor. The feeling of leading his troops to slay the enemies of his country made him feel as if he were wearing armor and returning victoriously - heroic.

He even raised his head and chin up.

It was a strange knife with blades on both sides, but the entire blade was forged extremely finely, and it shone with a cold light in the sunlight.

"Number!"

"From now on, we will have our own weapons."

"Thank you, Jing'an."

Hearing these words, Xu Chaoyang felt...
