War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 102: Ruthless (Thanks to 'book friend' for the reward)
Zhendong is the last supply location for Xu Chaoyang and his team on their way to Inner Mongolia. Logically, they should enter the county seat of Zhendong, use the money they found from the Japanese to replenish their food, and then cross Zhendong County and arrive in Korqin, Inner Mongolia.

Xu Chaoyang did not have enough knowledge about the local reserves and did not know that today's Zhendong County would be the future Zhenlai County. However, when Yang Jingyu announced at a meeting that he would risk entering Zhendong County to buy supplies for everyone, he rejected the proposal.

This is very dangerous.

Zhendong County was on the route they had to take to escape to Inner Mongolia. After the Japanese set up ambushes in Fuyu and Harbin and saw no one there, it was easy to guess where they would flee to.

Therefore, Xu Chaoyang proposed to abandon the route of entering Inner Mongolia through Zhendong, and instead go horizontally all the way east to Tailai County, which is not far from Zhendong County. After replenishing supplies in Tailai County, go to Inner Mongolia.

Why Taylor's?

Xu Chaoyang said this because one of Chang Zhan's subordinates was a Tailai man. It was said that the place was home to five ethnic groups: Han, Mongolian, Manchu, Hui, and Korean. The forces there were complex and it was also the nomadic area of ​​the Ten Mongolian Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

He thought that even if the Japs could control the government on the surface, it would be unlikely for them to be able to handle every detail in such a complicated place.

but……

"I disagree."

The person who spoke was not Yang Jingyu, but Wang Tianhao.

A guy that Xu Chaoyang has been with this group of people for such a long time but is still not very familiar with.

"Since the Japanese may set up an ambush in the east of the town, it is possible that we will conduct regional joint defense. If this really happens, no matter where we go, the risk will be the same."

Qu Yong really didn't see eye to eye with him, so he turned around and sneered, "Brother, these people, if you say they don't have brains, they know how to think when they encounter a problem; if you say they have brains, they are all fanciful and say nonsense."

In the dark night, at the foot of a slope in the wilderness, the bonfire kept shaking, and sparks kept jumping around on the flames.

"What do you mean!" Wang Tianhao asked with his head tilted.

Qu Yong followed up the conversation and asked, "Have you ever been a soldier?"

"I'm not going to ask you whether you've ever been in the military. Let me ask you this: when you were in the military, you must have had a territory, right?"

"When a war breaks out and the superiors require a zone defense, how is it carried out? You must know, right?"

"Well, we can't drag you all out, tie ropes around your bodies, place you one by one every few meters, and use you as wooden stakes to expose you to the wind and sun in the wilderness, can we?"

"That damn zone defense must have a popular base!"

"Do you expect the Japanese to say 'regional joint defense' and the common people will be so eager to keep an eye out for strangers on their way to work every morning? What are you thinking!"

Wang Tianhao made Qu Yong, a man who had actually served in the army, experienced the warlords' melee under Xu Chaoyang, and even implemented regional joint defense on the border of Heilongjiang Province, lose his energy with just a few words.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Wang Tianhao's words almost killed Qu Yong: "Are you deaf?"

"Didn't you hear what my elder brother said?"

"Tyle, the environment is complicated, and the Japanese may not be able to completely control it. We have to go there quietly and slide along the mountain path into Inner Mongolia. Do you understand now?"

Yang Jingyu immediately heard the difference between the two sides, and when Wang Tianhao was about to speak again, he stopped him with a sentence: "Tianhao."

Through these days of observation, Yang Jingyu found that the people under Xu Chaoyang were completely different from his own people. They didn't talk about ideals, nor did they have ideological education. But Xu Chaoyang said that no matter how sleepy they were, they had to get up from the ground and go on their way, no matter how tired they were, they had to go to the river to take a bath. But Xu Chaoyang didn't use any management methods to manage them, just one word - punishment.

Yang Jingyu watched secretly and found that every time Xu Chaoyang punished his subordinates, it was a collective punishment and he never punished anyone individually. The most important thing was that when punishing his subordinates, Xu Chaoyang not only watched, but also followed suit no matter what the punishment was.

And then there is daily training.

This group of people hardly had a chance to relax. During their breaks, Xu Chaoyang would disassemble the gun and explain to them the function of each part of the gun and how to repair it if there was a problem.

He was not afraid of being listened to. Once, Yang Jingyu stood by and listened to Xu Chaoyang explaining the Type 99 rifle to his subordinates. Not only did he explain the advantages and disadvantages of this gun clearly, he also asked his subordinates to bring each Type 99 rifle to him. All of them had to disassemble and install them. It didn't matter if they couldn't install them, because Xu Chaoyang could restore them himself anyway.

This kid seemed to be a talent given to Yang Jingyu by God, except that he was rebellious and taciturn, and as cold as ice.

No, he and his brothers were never cold...

"Chaoyang, should we make plans for what to do in case of unexpected situations or emergencies?"

In the past few days, Yang Jingyu was still troubled by Xu Chaoyang, but after what happened just now, his mind changed!
Since he has the skills and ability, why not let him do it?
As long as the general direction is not wrong, even if he is not a member of the organization, what is the problem? Isn't it said in many meetings that we need to unite all the forces that can be united?
“There are no emergencies.”

Xu Chaoyang looked at everyone beside the fire and said, "This is about escaping, not fighting. Everyone should cover their ears and squint their eyes."

“What if ordinary people are bullied?”

"As if you can't see it."

"What if the villagers are massacred?"

"Go around."

Hearing this almost cold-blooded request, Wang Tianhao was furious and said indignantly: "Then why are we still resisting the Japanese?"

Seeing that the boy had opened his mouth, Qu Yong immediately retorted: "Whether you love your mother or not, what does it have to do with us?"

Snapped!
Xu Chaoyang waved his hand and slapped Qu Yong on the back of the neck. Qu Yong lowered his head like a tamed beast, not even resisting.

Yang Jingyu looked at Xu Chaoyang and asked very carefully: "Reason!"

"Only when we are alive can we do what we want to do. In the Northeast, where we have no mass base and no manpower, we cannot fight a war of attrition, but there is still a vast world outside the Northeast."

"There is always a place where the common people will agree with us soldiers;"

"Somewhere, there will always be people who will send their children to us and would rather die than surrender."

"But before that, we can't die. If we die, we won't be able to go there even if there is such a place."

Xu Chaoyang looked at Yang Jingyu with the same formal gaze and said, "People with value should not die too early."

He was talking about Yang Jingyu. He didn't want such a hero to die so miserably, even though his words seemed ruthless and cold.
