The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 441 Exposed? (Bonus Chapter 23 for AT)

At the same time, the thug was in his room, carefully examining the bamboo tube.

With a muffled thud, Mina tossed a thoroughly gnawed pig's trotter bone into the trash can next to her.

Then he picked up a glass from the coffee table, downed half a glass of vodka in one gulp, and then shouted a loud cheer:
"Braised pig's trotters are perfect with drinks; the more you eat, the more satisfying it becomes—it's so delicious!"

After Mina and her cousin Annie left Hu Biao's place.

They arrived back at Annie's house around 5 a.m.; then the two of them rummaged through the refrigerator and found a bunch of braised food that they had brought back from Hu Biao before, and opened a bottle of pickled cucumbers to go with their drinks.

They opened bottle after bottle of vodka and started drinking.

Perhaps it had been a long time since they had enjoyed such a hearty drink during their time travel; before they knew it, the two of them had been drinking together for quite some time.

Especially Mina, the sister-in-law, perhaps thought about the adrenaline rush she felt when she piloted her plane through a network of anti-aircraft fire.

Not only did he not want to go to sleep, he became even more energetic.

This continued until Mina saw that Annie not only wasn't eating or drinking, but was also engrossed in typing on her phone.

She said, somewhat annoyed, "Alright! Didn't we say today was a girls' get-together, and we'd drink until we drop?"

You left me aside and kept chatting with that bastard Hu Biao on your phone; it's only been a short time since we separated, look at you, so pathetic.

Upon hearing this, Annie immediately frowned.

He replied, "Don't talk nonsense, you brat! First of all, Hu Biao is no dog of a man, and secondly, I'm not chatting with him, I'm chatting with Grandpa."

Let's not talk for now, wait until I finish typing this part.

Two minutes later, Annie finally threw away her phone and continued drinking with Mina.

Half an hour later, looking at Mina, who had already passed out on the sofa and was fast asleep, this was Officer Mi, who was known as the unbeatable drinker in the Nationalist Air Force.

After finishing the last bit of wine in her glass, Anne muttered a disdainful remark:
"You little punk! With such a low alcohol tolerance, you dare to talk to me about drinking until we drop?"

I wonder what Hu Biao would think if he saw this scene and discovered that his girlfriend, who never drinks, actually has such a strong alcohol tolerance.

After knocking Mina down, Annie picked up her phone and chatted with her grandfather for a while before going to bed in her bedroom, feeling a bit sleepy.

So the question is: what exactly were Annie and her grandfather talking about?

Of course, he was consulting the old man who had participated in the Korean War as an officer back then, to ask him some military questions.

More accurately, it describes the situation and strength of both sides during their crossing at Gaofeng Pass, Kunlun Pass, Dadong Township, and outside Nanning City, as well as the tactics they ultimately adopted.

After explaining the entire situation to my grandfather as a hypothetical occupation, I treated it as such.

Could you please point out any shortcomings and areas for improvement?

After all, Anne's military skills, which impressed Commander Bai and others at the military conference, largely came from the influence she had received from the old man.

The old man's military expertise was at least as high as that of a fifteen or sixteen-story building.

So Annie thought she would wait until her grandfather shared his thoughts on the situation.

I will find a suitable opportunity to tell Hu Biao in a tactful way, so that Hu Biao can gain some insights and improvement from it.

It can only be said that other families have the concept of hoping their husbands will become successful.

Annie went to great lengths to help her son grow up quickly...

*****
What Annie didn't know was that after she explained the situation to her grandfather...

The man, now in his nineties, lives in Lijiapo. Wearing reading glasses, he uses a single finger to operate a brand-new fruit machine.

In the blink of an eye, this information was sent to a group of old friends.

There's no way around it! Although the old man retired from his position as chairman of the family company years ago, he's financially secure, but life is somewhat boring. Fortunately, some of his old comrades are still alive, and they've created a "30s Generation Chat Group," so they can chat occasionally.

But after a while, everyone ran out of new topics to talk about.

This situation persisted until Annie traveled back in time last time and asked him about the battles that had taken place in the Jin-Sui base area.

The old man, of course, had no idea that this was a battle that had actually taken place in another world.

But that's not important. What's important is that his eyes lit up at that moment, and he became excited like a child who had found a new toy.

Knowing that he and his old friends had found a new topic to talk about to pass the time.

Everyone shared their opinions on the battle example of pacifying the county town, creating quite a lively discussion.

Sure enough! As Annie's situation and problems were forwarded to the group, the chat group for people born in the 30s, which had been quiet for more than half a month, immediately became popular again.

Before long, an old voice began to grumble and curse:

"This commander surnamed Hu is a complete idiot. Even after a month, I still can't understand why he attacked Pingding County in northwestern Shanxi."

"Wouldn't this prematurely attract the attention of the Japanese and other forces, ruining a promising development?"

As soon as the voice faded, another dissenting voice rang out: "Blind Cheng, you're the one who's confused; if we follow your logic, then the Hundred Regiments Offensive launched by the General was also wrong."
When it's time to fight, you should take action. The situation is won through fighting, not through clandestine development.

Good heavens! A fierce argument broke out between the two elderly men, whose combined age was nearly two hundred, with other men in their eighties and nineties occasionally chiming in to fan the flames.

Faced with this scene, Grandpa An remained completely calm, saying that it's actually good for the health and longevity of the elderly to occasionally rant and rave.

Seeing that things were getting increasingly off-topic, Grandpa An finally asked everyone to discuss the case study from this battle.

And so, another new war of words began. Some people thought the battle was fought terribly, while others thought it was fought quite well, and they couldn't reach an agreement.

But despite the intensity of these criticisms, whether for or against them, every point raised by these gentlemen is well-founded and demonstrates a high level of military expertise and thought.

During this process, Grandpa An, wearing his reading glasses, wrote down his opinions in small notebooks.

I plan to organize it later and give it back to my beloved granddaughter; overall, although the process was somewhat unexpected for Annie, it was still a good result in her achieving her goal.

The only problem is that the chat content is being recorded.

Grandpa An suddenly remembered something: his precious granddaughter had indeed liked military affairs since she was a child, but not to such an intense degree.

So she's making such a fuss because she has a boyfriend?
Her boyfriend was also a crazy military enthusiast. Was Annie asking these questions to find some common ground to talk about?

Having realized this, Grandpa An no longer cared about the increasingly heated argument in the chat group for people born in the 30s.

She dialed her son's number directly and immediately bombarded him with questions: "Annie has a boyfriend. Where is he from? Is he a foreigner or Chinese? What does he do? What kind of person is he?"

Faced with these questions, Mr. An was completely bewildered:
"I don't know, and I've never heard of it. Should I ask my wife?"

Two minutes later, Annie's father called Annie's mother: "I heard from the old man that Annie has a boyfriend. Do you know anything about him?"

Unlike Annie, who has a boyfriend, Annie's father feels a sense of frustration, like his own little cabbage has been partially eaten by a pig.

Annie's mother, on the other hand, was quite different. She had long been frustrated that Annie, at her age, was still not dating and was unwilling to go on blind dates.

Now that I've heard she finally has a boyfriend, I'm overjoyed and not at all upset.

She slammed down her husband's phone and then started talking non-stop after getting through to Annie.

Half an hour later, Annie, who had just hung up the phone, sat on the bed, looking very worried: the matter of her going to Hu Biao's hometown in Hunan Province had not yet been completely settled.

However, his own parents said they wanted to come and visit Hu Biao sometime.

Just thinking about it gave her a real headache...
