Chapter 1199 Worth a try

The afternoon meeting was also the first time that many senior generals participated in such a high-level meeting after the high-level exchanges between the Second Army and the Third Army.Ye Zhao served as the commander of the Second Xue Army, and He Zhengjiang served as the commander of the Third Xue Army.If it is said that because Ye Zhao is also related to the old Cantonese faction, the Second Army is still named Cantonese, then the third army is completely decoupled from the old Cantonese faction.

The six divisions of the Second Army and the Third Army plus two independent brigades, six division commanders and [-] brigade commanders replaced a total of twelve. With such a large rate of exchange of blood, Ji Xingwen and Jiang Guangnai were worried that a mutiny would be triggered.But now it seems that their worries seem a little unnecessary.Perhaps because he has been engaged in grassroots ideological work, one division commander and six brigade commanders who were transferred from the post of political director to military chief this time were not questioned by their subordinates.Of course there were discordant voices, but they were far less than what Ouyang Yun expected.The entry of the Xuebing Army into the command system is similar to the post of political commissar in the Communist Party's ideological and political work. At the beginning, many people thought it was unnecessary and not conducive to the unity of the army. But now it seems that they are all positive role.

Of course, because after all, I have been engaged in political, ideological and psychological counseling work, the lack of military attainments will lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the troops, but considering that in the next period of time, the student army will focus on defense and save money The strength is to prepare for the next Pacific War, so, with a certain amount of time to learn and integrate, I believe that it will not be long before the combat effectiveness of the troops will return to the original level.

Since the Anti-Japanese War has been fought, even if the Xuebing Army is not the absolute main force, it has played a restraining role that cannot be ignored.For this reason, all the generals of the Xuebing Army subconsciously came up with the idea that their mission is to fight devils.Therefore, when Ouyang Yun announced at the meeting that the next goal of the Xuebing Army would be to focus on defense and recharge their batteries, many people were surprised and did not understand why the army's policies had taken a 180-degree turn.And some people with good intentions knew what role Chongqing had played in this military turmoil. After looking at each other, they couldn't help but began to doubt Ouyang Yun's intentions: Did the commander-in-chief do this to give Lao Jiang some color?Then they thought, it doesn't make sense, although the commander-in-chief likes to act emotionally, but he has always had a clear attitude on such big issues of right and wrong? !So, what could be the reason?

After Wang Jingwei established the puppet national government in Nanjing, he extended an olive branch to local armed forces all over the country, and he did not hesitate to offer high-ranking officials and generous salaries to try his best to win them over.I don't know if they are deceiving themselves or others, or they really think so. They grandly regard themselves as the savior of China's current society. Such shameless acts of traitors are really thinking about the country.Among the current Chinese warlords' armed forces, regardless of military scale or economic scale, the Xuebing Army deserves the title of number one.Therefore, although he knew that Ouyang Yun had the name of hating traitors, Wang Jingwei still sent a telegram, calling on Ouyang Yun to support the Nanjing puppet government, so as to complete the great cause of national reunification as soon as possible.

Ouyang Yun naturally smiled at this.However, his way of going against the old style caused many people to speculate at this meeting.Not all of them have a deep understanding of Ouyang Yun's temperament, so they can't help but be very worried, the commander-in-chief will not be stunned by Wang Jingwei, right? !

Ouyang Yun's next words solved their confusion.

"Taking defense as offense, not blindly defending and being beaten! Next, I will draw a bottom line for the front line for the troops - as long as the Japanese cross this bottom line, then they will hit me hard..."

"The accumulation of strength is for future battles, so the actual combat training must not be left behind! Well, as for the specific implementation methods, I will explain to you by Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li..."

The meeting ended at 04:30. After the meeting, Ouyang Yun left Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu and Chu Tiange behind, and several people began to discuss matters about the Taiwan Army and the Northwest Army.

The United Fleet's hasty retreat from the coast of Hainan Island benefited not only the Fifth Army, but also the Taiwan Corps.Taiwan's supply fleet was almost completely destroyed, not only losing a large number of ships, but also losing a large amount of military supplies.These military supplies were originally prepared by the Tokyo headquarters for Kobayashi to build and annihilate the Taiwan Corps. When Yamamoto 56 misappropriated them, he promised Kobayashi that they would make up for them with supplies from Nagasaki.Then, after the Taiwan supply fleet was attacked, he promised to wait for Hainan Island to be defeated before allocating supplies from the base camp to Hainan Island.However, following the attack on the Nagasaki supply fleet, the United Fleet had to withdraw in a hurry, and Yamamoto's promise became a mirror image. Even if he wanted to keep his promise, he lost the ability to make up for Kobayashi's losses.In the absence of supplies, Kobayashi had to stop the encirclement and suppression of the Taiwan Corps, which slowed down the once-struggling Taiwan Corps, and even launched a counterattack for a while.

In the northwest, since Ouyang Yun asked Niu Yuehan, Diana, and Ding Yi to take charge of the military tickets of the little devils to supply the Northwest Army, the Northwest Army not only solved the food problem, but also began to enter Suiyuan from Shaanxi.After obtaining Fu Zuoyi's consent, they entered Mongolia from Suiyuan, and now they have established a foothold in southwest Mongolia.The establishment of the Northwest Army also originated from this period.

The development situation of the Taiwan Corps and the Northwest Corps is very good. Since the headquarters of Minyueqiong will remain on the defensive, there will be no economic difficulties in appropriately increasing investment in these two places.

For Mongolia, those who are familiar with Ouyang Yun are aware of his ambitions, and in front of Chu Tiange and others, he never hides it.After Pan Meiren delivered the tea, he said straight to the point: "The reason for staying here is for Taiwan and the Northwest. Taiwan is next to Fujian. There is no problem with the support from the Air Fortress. Now we will focus on the Northwest."

Before the meeting, Ouyang Yun had discussed this matter with Ji Xingwen, so he was very calm at the moment.But Li Tieshu and Chu Tiange had just heard about it, and they couldn't help feeling a little surprised.Chu Tiange asked: "Brother, do you want to attack Outer Mongolia?"

"Yes!" Ouyang Yun replied with piercing eyes.

Li Tieshu rolled his eyes and said, "Is it too hasty? Outer Mongolia is too far away from us. Ah, if you let Guo Da and the others go to Suiyuan, wouldn't you just go to Outer Mongolia?"

Ouyang Yun nodded: "Of course. Otherwise, why do you think I did this? General Fu is no worse than us in fighting devils in the northwest!"

Li Tieshu shook his head and smiled wryly: "I don't think it's realistic. Outer Mongolia is backed by the Soviets. The Soviet Union is not Japan. Although the Japanese are known as the second largest army in the world, we all know that this is their boasting. The Soviets are different. , although they didn't bluff everywhere, but who in the world dares to underestimate them?"

Chu Tiange continued: "I also think it is unrealistic. Outer Mongolia has been independent for a long time. During this time, the Mongols have not enjoyed much benefit from the country. I am afraid that they will not recognize that they are China. People, right? In this case, our entry into Outer Mongolia is actually almost aggression."

Their pessimistic views did not surprise Ouyang Yun. He said: "The difficulties you mentioned all exist objectively, but after a comprehensive analysis, all the difficulties actually have only one core, and that is the intervention of the Soviet Union. Then , what if the Soviet Union does not intervene?"

It was the first time Ji Xingwen had heard of his statement, and the three of them couldn't help being taken aback, and then said in unison: "The Soviets won't intervene? Is it possible?"

"If the Soviet Union itself suffers from aggression and is at a disadvantage, then there is a possibility!" Ouyang Yun continued to swear without being surprised.

The three looked at each other and shook their heads unanimously. Chu Tiange smiled and said, "Brother, don't deceive yourself. This kind of thing is basically impossible to happen."

Ouyang Yun smiled and said, "Nothing is absolute. Now, let's discuss it on this premise."

"But—" Ji Xingwen said.

Ouyang Yun: "There's nothing wrong with it. We're not going to take action now. I'll keep you here just to discuss the preparations. Well, two years. If this opportunity doesn't come up after two years, then we will How about calling them back?"

The three looked at each other, and after careful consideration, they did not express any objection.Although what Ouyang Yun said was a bit illusory, but once they thought of his many promises in the past, they couldn't help feeling lucky, and then thought it was worth a try.
