War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 70: Soldiers and Generals (Thanks to '慕名来了_Ca' for the reward)
Ice City, Huaxin Newspaper.

After the Japanese ordered the Huaxin Newspaper to rectify its behavior due to its refusal to publish a congratulatory article on the establishment of Manchukuo, Wang Xiao, who refused to yield, had not come here for a long time. But today, he actually walked into the newspaper office again at night and turned on the lights in the office.

When, when, when.

Wang Xiao, wearing a long gown and carrying a briefcase, had just entered the office. He didn't even have time to take off his hat when he heard a knock on the door. At that moment, he reached into his bag and pulled out a Nambu Type 14 pistol, which was a trophy he picked up on the battlefield last time.

"Who?"

The second after Wang Xiao asked this question at the door with a gun in hand, a voice outside the door responded: "Tong Meng."

Wang Xiao quickly put the gun back, opened the door quickly and asked, "Why are you back?"

Tong Meng stood motionless at the door, his slightly tanned face full of smiles.

"The company commander asked me to come back."

"Come in, come in and talk."

Wang Xiao let Tong Meng into the office and asked under the dim light, "What's going on?"

"We won the battle."

"We killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers from a whole squad, and seized nearly 30 Type 38 rifles, two pheasant necks, and a grenade launcher!" Tong Meng lowered his voice and said, "We are rich now!"

Wang Xiao was stunned.

It took him a long time to react, and he supported Tong Meng's arm as if he had thawed, "Say it again?"

"I said, we defeated a squad of the Japs, and they were elite at that!"

"Nonsense!" Wang Xiao didn't believe it. He couldn't possibly believe it!

The combat effectiveness of the Japs is obvious to all. Their equipment is ahead of the entire region. In this case, without the advantage in numbers, how can they possibly win?
Tong Meng enjoyed his surprise and said, "You don't believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it!"

Wang Xiao didn't even hesitate and gave the answer directly.

Tong Meng continued, "I didn't quite believe it at first. I didn't believe that Xu Chaoyang and his people could cause any trouble. But after I went there, I realized that they are really different."

"What's the difference?"

Tong Meng asked: "Do we have bathing rules here? But we do have one. The company commander stipulates that men and women must bathe every three days."

"A group of young soldiers."

Wang Xiao was about to sneer, but Tong Meng took over the conversation: "This is scientifically based. Good hygiene conditions can minimize infectious diseases and the deterioration of wounds. I learned this when I was studying abroad."

Wang Xiao obviously didn't want to hear this. More importantly, he didn't want to hear Tong Meng bragging: "Let's talk business. You can't use the emergency contact signal to call me to such a dangerous place just because of this, right?"

"Of course not. Didn't I just tell you that we won the battle?"

Tong Meng said thoughtfully: "It's just that our company commander doesn't seem too happy."

"Did you really drive away a squad of Japanese devils?" Wang Xiao asked doubtfully at this moment.

"real!"

"We still have guns!"

Tong Meng deliberately exaggerated the size of the caliber: "This is so big!"

Wang Xiao was going crazy. If he followed the caliber that Tong Meng had indicated, the muzzle of the cannon would have to be at least as big as a washbasin. Wasn't that ridiculous? "Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Tong Meng saw Wang Xiao's wonderful expression and finally laughed out loud. He told him how Xu Chaoyang and he researched the flying thunder cannon in the mountains, and how they used the flying thunder cannon to blow the Japanese to pieces.

"You mean, Xu Chaoyang is not only good at fighting, but can also use explosive packs as artillery shells?"

Tong Meng himself didn't know why he concealed the matter about Yingzi, and after telling all the good news, he kept his mouth shut.

"It's just that our company commander is not very happy. He thinks that if no one cheers for our victory and the people everywhere curse the Northeast people, it will sooner or later wear down our determination to fight against the Manchus and the Japanese. So he asked me to come back and ask if it is possible to publicize it through our channels."

"What!"

Wang Xiao was even more surprised this time. Not only was Xu Chaoyang good at fighting and researching new weapons, but he also understood post-war propaganda?
"So what do you think?"

Tong Meng said very carefully: "He is not a bandit, nor a soldier. He has a kind of arrogance that makes people unable to approach him easily."

"We conquered Tianwang Mountain. Even his closest subordinates were not allowed to touch the women in the mountain. During training, there was no distinction between men and women. Even he, the boss, had to be punished when his subordinates made mistakes."

"He has a spirit that is much higher than before. Even though he doesn't talk much, a glance can still shock everyone, just because he did it."

Tong Meng then said: "I think it is right to absorb them into our team. I ask the organization to work harder for this."

"Tong Meng, why don't you understand? They look down on us." Wang Xiao sighed, turned his head, looked out the window and said, "The Anti-Japanese Association is too small, and your Captain Xu has too big ambitions. I even think that he hopes to lead a group of people to fight the Japanese and see who has the stronger arms."

Tong Meng nodded: "At first I also felt that our company commander was a little arrogant, but now it's different."

"We encountered a squad from the Second Division in the mountains. We attacked them by surprise and they almost beat us to the point where we couldn't even raise our heads."

"The company commander already knows what the problem is, but he didn't say it. Now we have everything we need in terms of weapons, ammunition and overall mobility, but we are short of people."

Wang Xiao turned around immediately: "What do you mean?"

The children were happy.

"Give them the people and intelligence they need. Hasn't the spirit of the meeting been conveyed? Try to win over all the anti-Japanese armed forces. So why do you care who they are? Why do you care whether they are willing to be mountain kings or whether they obey the control?"

"Little by little, we will stuff our people into Xu Chaoyang's service. Don't say anything, just build up a relationship with him. When the time comes, we will see if this beast, bound by the secular world, can bear to leave the nest that we have built with our own hands."

Wang Xiao stared at Tong Meng and asked, "You want to use the soldiers from the vassal states to rule the generals?"

Tong Meng nodded: "I always feel that Captain Xu still has a lot of things that have not been excavated!"

"Can it be done?"

"It works!"

Tong Meng said: "We are running around in the mountains like headless flies. I know better than you how much we need a 'home'. As long as the organization can solve this problem quietly, everything will go in the direction we envision!"

"Let me try."

Wang Xiao turned around and returned to the dusty desk. He took out a pen and paper and wrote an address and handed it over: "You go here first."

"Where is this?"

"The forest farm, the leader is one of our own."
