Chapter 18: Xue Yue's Appreciation (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Inside the headquarters of the 19th Group Army!

Everyone also gathered their gazes upon Yu Hua.

At this moment, Yu Hua was like the moon surrounded by stars.

Facing the piercing gazes of the crowd, Yu Hua did not feel stage fright at all.

The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a slight arc, "Commander Xue, gentlemen Staff Officers."

"From the map, I can deduce."

"The Commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army... General Matsui Iwane."

"The tactic he is currently implementing is a Central Breakthrough."

"I also know that every unit is in great difficulty."

"You kid analyzed it quite well."

Deputy Regiment Commander Xie saw Commander Xue calling him, and immediately stepped forward and stood at attention: "Present!"

"And Dunwu Temple happens to be the bridge connecting the other three positions."

Xue Yue came up and patted Yu Hua on the shoulder.

When the two returned to Dunwu Temple, the sky had already turned dark.

Everyone also revealed expressions of astonishment.

"The devils have many heavy weapons, and their artillery and aircraft are constantly bombing our positions."

Xue Yue looked Yu Hua up and down, "Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yue's eyes lit up; he truly hadn't thought of that.

With Xue Yue saying this, Xie Linfeng hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Commander Xue."

"Losing even one would be unfavorable for the subsequent war situation."

"Tomorrow!"

"You Sichuan Army must fight well; today you annihilated three devil companies."

"Cut off the highways and railways, and encircle and annihilate the main force of our Central Operations Army Group in the urban area of Shanghai."

"You have been fighting at the Dunwu Temple and Qiaotingzhai positions for so long!"

"If I were to go with you, according to the rules of the Paoge."

Talking freely in front of so many officers, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Wanting to swallow the tens of thousands of Central Army elites in the Shanghai urban area in one go!"

After all, they were all professionals.

"The current Luodian has already become the key point where the two armies are pitted against each other."

This Sichuan Army Second Lieutenant really understood; as for how much he understood.

This kid is truly, damn it, the roundworm in my own belly.

Yu Hua's remark about money not being spent when a person dies made even Xue Yue laugh.

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking about how he should bring up the matter of weaponry.

"In view of the 1st Regiment, 402nd Brigade, 133rd Division, 20th Army of the Sichuan Army, for their tenacious combat, they are rewarded with two foreign-made 60mm Mortars."

Yu Hua rubbed his nose and continued to wave the Command Stick.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked at the people present with a cold, gloomy gaze.

"For the devils, Dunwu Temple is a place they must capture."

"We must now defend these four places."

"Could you distribute more Hand Grenades to our Sichuan Army?"

"The devils will definitely attack Dunwu Temple, and we must defend it!"

"Your regiment must be like a nail, driven firmly into the position for me."

"Retaking Dunwu Temple and annihilating over six hundred enemies is also a great victory."

A small Second Lieutenant Platoon Leader is now favored by Commander Xue.

"Your name is Yu Hua, right?"

"Now that the country is in dire straits, whether it is the Central Army or the local armies, everyone is single-mindedly fighting the devils."

"It makes people feel particularly uncomfortable!"

Inside the headquarters of the devils' Ninth Division.

It really was, damn it, the right place to come.

Xue Yue waved his hand, "These are all small matters!"

"I would have to undergo the 'three knives and six holes' punishment!"

Xie Linfeng, who was to the side, also hurriedly nodded toward Xue Yue.

"This is Dachang Town, this is Liuhang and Chenjiahang, and this here is Dunwu Temple!"

Having received the reward, Xie Linfeng left the 19th Group Army headquarters with Yu Hua.

"You can bring them up now; I will try my best to satisfy you."

Xue Yue was also captivated by Yu Hua at this moment, and seeing the Sichuan Army Second Lieutenant stop, he waited.

The remaining officers also held back their laughter.

Xie Linfeng saluted Xue Yue: "Commander Xue, rest assured."

Changing the subject, "Xie Linfeng!"

"This is a very good battle result; I hope that in the subsequent battles."

"Encircle Luodian once more, thereby cutting off the retreat route of the Central Operations Army Group."

"Defeat the Republic of China troops opposite us as soon as possible."

"Loyally serve the country!"

Xie Linfeng, who was to the side, saw this kid Yu Hua.

"Since our Sichuan Army arrived on the Songhu Battlefield, none of us have thought about returning alive."

In his heart, Xie Linfeng actually didn't want the silver dollars either.

Now he has been noticed by Commander Xue!

"Fine!" Xue Yue nodded in agreement; Deputy Regiment Commander Xie had no objections either.

"The little devils have failed to take Luodian several times."

"Commander Xue, you also know that our Sichuan Army is poor."

"If you give us silver dollars, it would be a pity."

"After all, the Central Breakthrough tactic the little devils are currently adopting is meant to rout our army."

"The entire Luodian can only be called a meat grinder!"

The Sichuan Army only requested Hand Grenades, and Xue Yue didn't even think about it, "That's no problem."

"After the devils' reinforcements land."

"Even if our Sichuan Army dies, we will die on the front line."

Xue Yue took a look, clapped his hands, and said: "Good kid!"

"They intend to tear open a gap at Luodian and strike directly at the flank and rear of our Central Operations Army Group."

"You said it yourself, it's the same wherever we fight the devils."

Opposite Dunwu Temple, eight kilometers away.

"Four Light and Heavy Machine Guns!"

"Moreover, Commander Xue, I am a member of the Paoge Organization."

Speaking of this, Xue Yue saw Yu Hua staying to the side again and continued: "An additional reward of ten thousand silver dollars!"

He still had to see what he would say next.

"You heard the analysis just now."

"Are you interested in coming to work for me?"

This was simply smoke rising from the ancestral grave—a wonderful thing falling from the sky!

Xie Linfeng, who was to the side, was also stunned; this Yu Hua was actually so capable.

"As the Commander-in-Chief of the 19th Group Army, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments."

"It is the same wherever one fights the devils."

"Commander Xue, can you exchange the silver dollars for weapons?"

Yu Hua saw the shining eyes of Commander Xue in the command post, and he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

"However, under the tenacious resistance of our army."

"Continue... increase the intensity!"

"Good!" Xue Yue shouted, "What else does your Sichuan Army need?"

Yu Hua looked at Commander Xue and smiled, "Thank you for your appreciation, Commander Xue."

"That is... when a person dies, the money hasn't been spent yet."

"You still haven't taken it yet; you have failed the cultivation of His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Baka!"

"Traveling a thousand miles out of Chuan, all for this day!"

What he himself found difficult to say, Yu Hua said it all.

"You Sichuan Army soldiers must kill more enemies."

19th Group Army Command Post.

Unless it was truly unbearable.

He waved his hand, "Don't stop!"

"I will personally oversee the battle!"

Seeing that Xue Yue was giving silver dollars, Yu Hua stood out.

"The devils take the position during the day, and we take it back at night; it goes back and forth like this!"

"This is too wasteful."

"With these Hand Grenades, my heart is much more at ease."

Xie Linfeng did not expect that Commander Xue would actually take the initiative to speak.

Quite a few officers saw that Commander Xue was actually recruiting a Sichuan Army Second Lieutenant.

"Yes... Commander Xue, my name is Yu Hua." Putting down the Command Stick, Yu Hua stood to the side.

"I was just in the mood, and you suddenly stopped."

"To stabilize the front line, we must hold Dunwu Temple."

The weapons and ammunition rewarded by Xue Yue would later be transported to Dunwu Temple by the logistics troops of the 19th Group Army.

He had no choice but to exchange the ten thousand silver dollars for ten Czech Light Machine Guns.

"I won't force you then."

Now that this kid Yu Hua brought it up, he felt that the Regimental Commander had made the right choice sending Yu Hua.

"I'll have the logistics troops send you one hundred crates in a moment!"

This kid is really something; he brought honor to the Sichuan Army!

Seeing the reactions of the crowd, Yu Hua paused and smiled happily.

"You all... are nothing but a bunch of rice buckets!"

The Japanese soldiers in the command post lowered their heads one by one, "Hai!"

"Division Commander, we will certainly do our utmost tomorrow!"
