War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 47 Is this possible?
late at night.

A car was swaying forward in the wilderness, the dust all over the car and the bullet holes all over the car proved what this car had been through.

Tong Meng and Yu Minghao were sitting in the passenger seat with sullen faces, their bodies swaying constantly in the bumpy ride. All the others were crowding in the back of the car and hiding behind the front of the car to avoid the cold wind.

This was a bet between Xu Chaoyang and Wang Xiao. If he lost, Xu Chaoyang and his three brothers would join the Anti-Japanese Association without any conditions. If he won, with Tong Meng's consent, Xu Chaoyang could take Tong Meng away.

This is how the bet started...

An hour ago, by the fire.

Xu Chaoyang looked at Wang Xiao and said, "Captain Wang, this car, plus a Czech-style rifle, a pheasant neck, several Liao-13 rifles, and three Type rifles, in exchange for Tong Meng, what do you think of this deal?"

Wang Xiao sneered at Xu Chaoyang, and responded as if he was looked down upon: "We are not human traffickers who take advantage of beggars."

At that time, Wang Xiao finally pulled himself back to the height he should have been, and looked at Xu Chaoyang with contempt.

He opened his mouth again: "Then, I will exchange the imperial seal with you."

"WTF!"

Wang Xiao widened his eyes and looked at Xu Chaoyang in disbelief.

"You're still going to snatch the founding gift that Tianwangshan sent to Xinjing? When you know it's a trap?"

Xu Chaoyang leaned over in the shaking of the bonfire, propped himself on the ground with one hand and replied, "Then just ignore it, okay?"

"Xu Chaoyang, the Japanese are not fools. After fighting with us, they will definitely launch a large-scale manhunt..."

Xu Chaoyang didn't listen at all, and asked again very seriously and forcefully: "Yes or no."

"This is an unnecessary sacrifice!"

Qu Yong glared and cursed, "You're such a coward, I didn't even tell you to do it."

"fart!"

Yu Minghao looked at Wang Xiao with hostility, and reached out to touch the box gun that Xu Chaoyang had given him. Liu Gen directly drew his knife and said coldly: "You son of a bitch, do you think you have more people and your back is straightened again?"

Four people stared at the two opposing teams in the firelight and started cursing. No one on the other side dared to stand up and fight back for Wang Xiao. The group of student soldiers were still looking back, unable to tell inside from outside, as if the battle in the daytime had drained all their energy.

Tong Meng stood up at this time and stared at Xu Chaoyang in confusion: "Captain, I think what he said makes sense."

"Hahahahaha!"

Xu Chaoyang grinned and laughed, pointing at Tong Meng and said, "I knew you could understand what I said!"

Liu Gener slowly put the dagger back in. Yu Minghao finally opened his mouth and said, "This is called darkness under the lamp!"

In the spring of 1932, before the end of the first month of the lunar year, Xu Chaoyang drove the truck back to the road that must be taken to reach Ice City.

He knew that the Japanese would definitely launch a mopping-up operation on the outskirts of Ice City after this battle, but the mopping-up operation would never be carried out in the place where they had just fought and used a segmented attack to drive away this group of people.

With the strength of the Japanese army, it is almost impossible to conduct a carpet search of the periphery of Ice City. In the absence of a specific target, it is almost impossible to sweep all the hills in a sweeping mode. Therefore, the bandits on Tianwang Mountain will naturally choose the safest route to transport the gifts sent to Xinjing to Ice City. The road that had just been fought would definitely be their best choice.

This is why Xu Chaoyang dared to make a bet with Wang Xiao. After all, war is all about wits!
The car stopped at the foot of the hillside where the ambush had taken place. Xu Chaoyang looked at the fuel gauge and found that the tank was almost empty.

After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, Xu Chaoyang directed his men to start chopping branches, making the car look like a long bush. No matter how far away it was, people would glance at it and then ignore it. Only then did he turn around and leave with satisfaction.

"Captain Wang, you are still lying on the ridge where we ambushed today, including this group of students;"

"But I beg you for one thing. No matter what you see or what happens, don't make a sound. Just be silent for once, and I promise to let you take the imperial seal away before dark tomorrow."

After saying this, he led the people around him and walked to the trenches that had been dug. Qu Yong even muttered, "I really despise these people. They use students who know nothing as guns and let them charge forward. What kind of people are they!"

"Okay, it's not our family's business, why are you making such a fuss?" Yu Minghao didn't know where Qu Yong got so much resentment from.

"Is it my fault?" Qu Yong was the first to jump into the trench, squatting down and saying, "If our eldest brother was thrown out by Lü Damazi when he was guarding the Jiang Bridge, and went to guard the first line of defense facing the Japanese on the Jiang Bridge, what would you think?"

At that moment, Xu Chaoyang was standing at the edge of the trench in a daze.

He knew that one day he would have to send his closest subordinates to the battlefield to face the Japanese invaders' hail of bullets, and the reason he chose to send them there must be because... he trusted them!
But if there is no thought to support them, these brothers who are as close as brothers will turn around and say to me in tears: "Brother, you are sending me to death!"

What should I do?
He had been a soldier for so many years and had never thought about such a question.

Xu Chaoyang squatted at the edge of the trench and asked into the trench: "What if... one day, I sent you to a position similar to Jiangqiao, and told you unreasonably that you must die on the battlefield?"

The three men in the trench looked at each other, and Qu Yong was the first to speak: "Then I'll go."

This answer was something Xu Chaoyang had never thought of!
Because Qu Yong was not the comrade-in-arms who had been with him day and night in his previous life!

"why?"

He asked with a bit of reluctance.

Qu Yong's answer was very simple: "Because I know that my brother will always stand behind me. He will never be like the Fengtian Army. You never know if they will run away when you risk your life."

Liu Gen tilted his neck and looked at Xu Chaoyang. He didn't need to say anything. There seemed to be something in his eyes that didn't need to be explained. He shouted, "I am willing too."

Xu Chaoyang jumped down from the trench, and Yu Minghao quickly opened his mouth and said, "Captain, wait until I get married. As long as the Yu family has an heir, I can do anything!"

"grass!"

Qu Yong started to curse at Yu Minghao, while Liu Gener explained, "The only one."

Xu Chaoyang understood that these people were willing to risk their lives to do things for him purely out of their trust in him. In other words, apart from himself, no one else in the world could command them.

They don't know what a soldier's mission is, what loyalty to the country is, their thinking is very limited, and they still live in the world of "when you are in the world, righteousness comes first". They are willing to sacrifice their lives for their big brother, but they will never work hard to change the world.

Xu Chaoyang suddenly thought of the internet trolls of his own era, and wondered if those people could be like this too.

Will there be some among those people who, after experiencing an era, can rise up and become objects of admiration? When they pick up the keyboard and feel that everything is brainwashing, is it possible that they just haven't seen it before and think it is a trap, and only after seeing it can they understand what "every inch of land is worth an inch of blood" means!
