The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 339 Good stuff (Bonus chapter 1750 for the emergence of the color-changing master)

...After each major battle of the Northern Jiangsu Independent Regiment, the relevant glorious results were transmitted through radio waves, newspapers and other means.

The many Chinese people on this land always celebrate in a grand and enthusiastic manner.

Students, workers, ordinary citizens, and farmers would march in large groups, raising their arms and shouting all sorts of passionate slogans.

Writers would pen impassioned articles, while government officials and military commanders would deliver enthusiastic speeches.

Of course! All of their actions are understandable.

Because in the current so-called strategic stalemate phase, what we usually hear are all kinds of bad news, and every great victory that kills thousands or even tens of thousands of enemies is so precious.

What I want to say is that behind such a great battle and victory, my comrades and I were in a state of severe depression and mental confusion for several days afterward.

We can't help but think of the tragic scenes from the war and the brothers who died in battle.

It wasn't until the peaceful and stable life in the modern world, and the ordinary yet incredibly beautiful warmth of everyday life, that our emotions were completely soothed...

...Excerpt from Hu Biao's diary collection "Hu Shuo"...

After a familiar sense of spatial distortion, Hu Biao opened his eyes again and found himself back in the modern world, in a two-bedroom apartment he had rented near Panjiayuan.

Meanwhile, Annie, whom I hadn't seen for a while, also appeared in the room after I returned.

And next to her was a large bag; the bag seemed to be filled with a lot of spoils, and the haul this time was quite substantial.

That's right! Hu Biao has moved.

After all, once his new store opens, he will have to focus all his energy on it. If he still has to commute back and forth from his rented room in Majuqiao every day, it will be too much of a waste of time.

So I rented a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment near Panjiayuan for 6000 yuan a month.

To be honest, the rent was really expensive for Hu Biao, but considering that Annie would come over from time to time to help him clean, and even go on time travel together.

To avoid living in a bad place, this girl felt bad about spending money on herself, so she rented what she considered a luxury apartment.

Although he thought the total area of ​​this mansion was not much larger than one of Annie's bathrooms.

Of course! None of the above matters. What matters is that after being teleported back, even though this was his fifth time participating in time travel, he was definitely a veteran resident.

But just thinking about the terrible casualties suffered by our brothers in the blocking battles and sieges during this time travel is enough.

He was feeling extremely down for a moment, and merely nodded to Annie as a greeting; then he lit a cigarette and smoked it silently, looking quite dejected.

Seeing this, Annie was quite speechless.

You should know! Before Annie traveled back in time, she was seething with anger.

Specifically, it was still about the operation of the Northern Jiangsu Independent Regiment; as the chief of staff, she had no objection to the decision to attack Pingding County.

They believed that even if the Japanese were severely punished this time, as long as they showed some restraint in future mopping-up operations and caused less harm to the villagers, it would be worthwhile even if the entire Northern Jiangsu Independent Regiment was wiped out.

The key issue is that Hu Biao is a stubborn fool.

As a result, the group of transmigrators he brought out were also greatly affected, becoming incredibly stubborn; especially those guys who participated in the ambush, what were they thinking?

Why not use a layered blocking approach to intercept the Japanese reinforcements?

Why insist on holding out in one place until the entire army is wiped out?

Although she had been in Taiyuan the whole time, she only went to the base area briefly and didn't know many of the brothers in the regiment. The thought of that loss that could have been reduced made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Back when he was still in the safe house in Taiyuan City, eating mixed hot pot with AT, he made up his mind that he would definitely teach this kid a lesson when he returned from his time travel.

Making him kneel on a washboard? That's unlikely.

A real man kneels to heaven, earth, and his parents. What's the point of making him kneel on a washboard? Wouldn't that ruin his dignity and the family's reputation? No woman with a brain would do that.

However, she has quite a few other ways to teach this man a lesson, which will surely teach him a lesson.

What happened? Before she could even use any of her methods, she saw Hu Biao's dejected and frustrated appearance, and her heart ached terribly. She couldn't bear to continue. Finally, just as Hu Biao finished smoking a cigarette and picked up a new one like a chimney, Annie silently sighed and made a decision.

Without saying a word, he went up to Hu Biao, who was sitting listlessly on the sofa, and pulled him into his arms.

She gently stroked Hu Biao's short hair with her slender fingers.

To be honest, the two had been dating for more than three months, and had held hands, hugged, and even kissed, but this level of intimacy was a first for them.

To be honest, Annie has a really great figure, so much so that when Hu Biao was hugged, he felt that her whole face was incredibly soft and bouncy.

Surprisingly, Hu Biao, whose body was perfectly normal, even frighteningly so, showed no impulse at this moment.

After feeling his girlfriend's body temperature and smelling her faint perfume, his previous low mood vanished instantly, replaced by an indescribable sense of peace and relaxation.

After wrapping his arms around Annie's slender waist, he didn't do anything extra, yet he felt that everything was fine.

Then, Anne, who was already prepared for something to happen, was surprised to hear a soft snore; that big jerk, he actually fell asleep at such a crucial moment, and in such a sweet way at that.

"Silly boy, I have no idea what you missed today. You might not get another chance like this even if you wait a year."

Amidst a mix of amusement and exasperation, Annie muttered a complaint in a voice only she could hear.

However, this didn't stop her from carefully adjusting the position of her arm so that the silly boy could lean on her and sleep more soundly...

******
The situation changed a little over an hour later, around 5 a.m.

Hu Biao's phone, which he had placed on the coffee table, suddenly vibrated; it was the alarm clock ringing. It was time for Hu Biao to go for his morning run and to the market to pick out fresh ingredients.

However, Hu Biao was sleeping soundly because he hadn't slept for several days and nights due to this time travel, especially the return to the attack on Pingding County.

The alarm clock failed to wake him up at all; instead, it soaked a patch of her clothes with drool.

"How can a grown man drool in his sleep? It's disgusting." As she muttered this again, Annie made a decision:
Let this big jerk get a good night's sleep! I'll take care of grocery shopping myself.

Anyway, I've been to the vegetable market with Hu Biao a few times, and I know exactly how much vegetables to buy each day, what kind of vegetables are considered good, and which stall to buy them from.

Therefore, she carefully placed Hu Biao on the sofa and covered him with a blanket.

After turning off the alarm on the guy's phone and changing into a tracksuit that didn't quite fit Hu Biao, he went out alone and jogged towards his usual vegetable market.

Upon arriving at the destination, almost every familiar vendor greeted her warmly while asking her the same question:
"Boss lady, why are you buying groceries alone today? Where is Mr. Hu?"

The vegetable vendors' reaction was understandable, firstly because Hu Biao's daily purchasing volume made him a major customer for them.

Secondly, a pretty and fashionable girl like Annie would be too conspicuous in the early morning market.

So Annie didn't find anything strange. While skillfully checking the ingredients and placing the order, she would casually reply with:
"Oh! Mr. Hu has been working hard lately, let him get some more sleep today."

Unexpectedly, the vegetable vendors all smiled strangely after hearing this, making Annie wonder if there was something wrong with her wearing Hu Biao's sportswear.

This situation continued until they went to a familiar butcher stall and finalized the quantity to be delivered that day.

The butcher, a woman in her late thirties, less than 1.6 meters tall but weighing over 160 kilograms, mysteriously handed over a black bag.

She said, "Young lady, the men still need to be nourished regularly; just letting them sleep a little longer won't do."

I happen to have some good stuff here. Make it for Boss Hu when you get back, and I guarantee he'll be full of energy again in no time.

At this point, Annie was still confused. It wasn't until she instinctively took the bag, opened it, and saw a long, thin object inside that she realized what was happening.

The people at the market who answered "Boss Hu is exhausted" clearly meant they wanted to do the splits.

Just as Annie was about to explain that she and Hu Biao hadn't reached that point yet, the butcher's wife's words immediately shut her up:

"Hey sis! It often takes three to five days to get even one of these. What do you say, do you want one or not?"

"Yes, definitely! If you ever have any in the future, please save them all for me," Annie answered decisively.
