War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 75: The Softness in the Heart of a Soldier (Thanks to the Book Friend for the Reward!)

"Brother, you don't seem very happy."

Inside the dark wooden house, moonlight shone through the windows. Unknown insects, which had just revived from the cold winter, had already crawled onto the pillars illuminated by the moonlight.

On the kang, Xu Chaoyang lay flat in the middle, squinting his eyes and said, "I'm a little worried."

Qu Yong rolled over from Xu Chaoyang's side, propped up his head with his hands and said, "What are you worried about?"

"Oh, are you worried about that Chang guy?"

Liu Gen'er also lay on his side facing Xu Chaoyang at this time: "Captain, how about I stab him tomorrow? At worst, we can just keep hiding in the mountains."

Yu Minghao pushed Liu Gener hard at the edge.

"What are you doing!"

Liu Gener foolishly thought that something happened to Yu Minghao, so he turned around and asked.

Xu Chaoyang pondered and said, "I'm not worried that Chang Zhan would sell us out. If he had that intention, he should have surrendered to Japan instead of following the Anti-Japanese Society."

"I'm worried that this guy has no idea what Japanese people are like."

Tong Meng opened his mouth and said, "Captain, I don't understand this time either."

Xu Chaoyang pondered for a moment, and finally said what he wanted to say: "We, men and women, have come to the mountain field. Do you find anything abnormal?"

"The mountain place is a place where women are not allowed. The men here work hard every day, and their greatest pleasure is gambling. But when Second Sister, Hua'er and the others came to such a place, not a single person said a single dirty word, and not even one whistled. Isn't that strange?"

The brothers then remembered that nothing unexpected happened when they entered the mountain area.

Swish.

A corner of the cloth curtain hung in the middle of the earthen kang was lifted up, and the second sister poked her head out and asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

"A man will only put aside his idle thoughts when he is about to face a big event."

"Just like when we were ambushing the Japanese at Tianwang Mountain, Qu Yong would never argue with you women at that critical moment."

Xu Chaoyang’s brain is indeed not very useful, but whenever anything related to war happens, he always becomes extremely sensitive.

He knew that in October last year, General Wang, who was originally the deputy battalion commander of the third battalion of the guard regiment, was transferred to Xinjing due to the founding of the puppet Manchukuo and his guard regiment was reorganized into the guard regiment to protect Puyi.

At this point, General Wang actively contacted anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese heroes from all over the country, intending to use the kidnapping of Puyi as a fulcrum to make the Japanese completely lose this puppet in the Northeast and expose their wolfish ambitions to everyone.

Unfortunately, this matter was discovered by the Japanese. What is even more curious is that General Wang was lucky enough to escape back from Xinjing!

Of course, Xu Chaoyang never doubted General Wang's loyalty, because after General Wang was betrayed by a traitor and arrested, he did not betray our party. However, history books did not record how the Japanese could allow such a person who attempted to kidnap the emperor to escape back to Ice City.

With Xu Chaoyang's slow brain, he could only think that this was the Japanese's fishing behavior, and General Wang who escaped back was the bait that was released back.

If this is true, everything seems to be explainable. When the puppet Manchukuo was established, the Japanese asked bandits from all over the country to present gifts, which attracted countless patriots, and then used ambushes to annihilate them;

If General Wang escapes back to Ice City, then all the contacts and contacts along the way will surface on their own initiative. This will be much easier than asking the Special High Police to find this group of people through investigative means.

More importantly, once General Wang escaped, he would organize forces again to fight against the Manchus and the Japanese. It was at this time that General Wang organized the Baiyunting Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Soon after, he would be betrayed by a traitor and thrown into prison...

Xu Chaoyang seemed to have connected the memory of history in his mind with the clues in reality, because after General Wang graduated from the Military Academy, he was assigned to the 76th Regiment of the 18th Brigade of Bingcheng, and he and Chang Zhan were both old friends!

Well... General Wang is back, and as someone from the same camp, can Chang Zhan not lend a hand?

Under the pressure of such a big event, who else in the mountain field would have the heart to look at the women he brought with him? They were not the most beautiful women in the country.

"Go to sleep..." These are what Xu Chaoyang said, but there was another sentence in his mind: "The war is about to start." But he didn't say it out loud.

Now, he finally understood what the regiment commander always said when he was drunk in the regiment headquarters in his previous life: "How many soldiers really hope to be invincible? How many of them don't care about peace and happiness? Invincibility is exchanged for appointment, and peace and happiness can only live! It's just that soldiers are the face of the country and the weapon to defend the country. No matter how cowardly a soldier is, he must not be afraid of fighting!"

If the regiment commander had not been drunk, Xu Chaoyang believed that he would never hear such words in his life, but this is the softness hidden in the deepest part of a soldier's heart.

Only soldiers who have experienced war will understand how precious it is to sit cross-legged and drink tea in the office.

At this moment, Xu Chaoyang remembered how fierce he was when he stood in Yonghe Palace without kneeling. What was fierce about him was not his faith, but his desire to fight when facing his faith.

……

early morning.

The mountain wind woke up the sleeping lumberjacks. When the workers came out of the wooden house yawning, Chang Zhan had already started cooking porridge in front of the big pot at the door.

"Brother, why didn't I see those guys who came yesterday?"

A trustworthy lumberjack came up to Chang Zhan, holding a freshly rolled pipe in his mouth. He squatted on the ground, picked up a wooden stick with sparks on it, and lit the pipe.

Chang Zhan said without even raising his head: "You've learned to flatter someone. What, do you think you're unhappy that those guys come here to eat and drink for free?"

"Hahahaha..." This kid made Chang Zhan laugh: "I don't mean that. I just feel that these guys are a bit annoying with their words. I want to see what they have in mind."

"Forget it, just stay calm. In a few days, even if we give them this mountain field, what will happen? These are a group of people trying to survive in a harsh environment. If they are pushed to the limit, something bad will happen."

Damn!
The sound of a gunshot startled the birds in the forest, and Chang Zhan and others in the mountain field all turned their heads to look at the bare top of another mountain.

Then, Chang Zhan reacted immediately and rushed to the wooden house where Xu Chaoyang and the others slept. When he looked inside through the window, he saw the empty space in the house and the bed that had been made long ago. The quilt was folded like a block of tofu, with four edges and corners.

"Qu Yong, move forward, a little further and place another target."

On the top of the mountain, Xu Chaoyang took out the pheasant neck with the scope, and after loading the bullets on the magazine, he tested the accuracy of the gun...
