Chapter 397 North China Crisis (Eighteenth Pre-War Conference IV)
Self-propelled artillery is definitely a high-precision weapon in this era.The first self-propelled artillery in history was found to be from the hands of the French, but because the vehicle itself lacks effective armor and the gun diameter is small, the survivability on the battlefield is not good, and it is only suitable for firepower against infantry support.The self-propelled artillery that truly has the concept of modern military use in history was manufactured by Germany. Of course, because of the limitations of the artillery itself, it was originally used as a pure self-propelled anti-tank gun.The self-propelled artillery developed by the Xuebing R&D Institute was once considered to be a modified tank after the first appearance, but after Ouyang Yun introduced the concept of self-propelled artillery into the military school curriculum, Siji Xingwen and others understood its meaning The difference between tanks.

The military factory under the Xuebing Army now has two special workshops for the production of self-propelled artillery. One of the underground military factories in Renqiu is located in the hidden mountain of Taihang Mountain.The arsenal is currently the only industrial system belonging to the Xuebing Army that is unable to make ends meet. Half of the profits from other profitable industries of the Xuebing Army have been filled into this black hole. In Jiang Shuren's words, if all these funds are used for people's livelihood If it is, that is enough to add a TV set to every family in Jicha.Of course, he was just talking.Due to the severe situation at home and abroad, he also knows that it is absolutely necessary for the Xuebing Army to increase military investment if it wants to protect this hard-won territory.Now, the two arsenals under the Xuebing Army can produce three self-propelled artillery, nine tanks (including three anti-aircraft vehicles), and seventeen six-wheeled Kongming armored vehicles every week due to the adoption of advanced assembly line operations.As for the profit-making automobile factory, three off-road vehicles and five trucks roll off the production line every week.This is due to the insufficient production capacity of backup factories, such as steel factories and other supporting factories. If the raw materials can keep up, this number will be doubled several times.

A battalion of self-propelled artillery, that is 24 hangs.After Ouyang Yun laughed out loud, he said to Li Ganjiang: "Gan Jiang, you can really open your mouth like a lion. Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you, Military Seat!" Li Ganjiang immediately grinned and saluted.Sitting down, he suddenly stood up again, and said, "Mr. Seat, I remembered something. It is not enough to just give cars. Our division does not have this kind of manipulative talent. The cadets of the Artillery Department of this period, your old man, did you Half of us."

Before he finished speaking, Guo Da and the others couldn't sit still anymore, Hu Li immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Sir, this is not acceptable, they are just ordinary troops, we are a serious chariot troop, Naturally, we have to choose this professional soldier first."

This situation was taken into consideration when Ouyang Yun discussed with Li Tieshu, Zhang Zhen, and Ji Xingwen.At that time, Zhang Zhen said: "It seems better not to say that, otherwise, just wait and see, there will definitely be troubles on the spot." He met the three of them and found that they all had smiles on their faces , hurriedly waved his hand, and shouted: "Hu Li, sit down. What's the matter? This little devil hasn't come over yet, and we started to fight among ourselves? You think I'm not busy enough now, so why don't you just add to the chaos?"

Hu Li was taken aback for a moment, looked at his eyes that were beginning to turn fierce, and sat down sullenly.As Ouyang Yun's position became bigger and bigger, the personal prestige of this little officer also increased. Although he usually looked like a good guy, but with the title of "Anti-Japanese Two Heroes", no one dared to fight with him. Hairy.

Ouyang Yun gave everyone a serious look, and said: "Self-propelled artillery and tanks are all technical units. If you don't have a considerable amount of training to put them on the battlefield, it's no different from sending them to death. At present, the army is directly under the reserve force. Two regiments of infantry, one battalion of chariot troops, and one battalion of self-propelled artillery have met the training requirements. I plan to form an independent brigade for these two regiments and send them to Hengshui to replace the original garrison. The chariot unit of this battalion is naturally given to Hu Li. The self-propelled artillery temporarily belongs to the third division, which can be regarded as support for their dangerous mission. Well, just now we focused on the combat layout along the Great Wall. Let's discuss it next. Along the Shandong line. It will be a matter of time before Shandong is lost. Therefore, the defense of the border area cannot be slackened. It is far from enough for the two regiments of the newly formed army to be responsible for the defense of this line. The division was transferred to assist in the defense. The coordination work will be in charge of the deputy chief of staff Ji. Old Ji, is there any problem?"

Ji Xingwen said: "No problem, leave it to me." After a pause, he said: "Now the commander of the 37th Division is Wang Zhibang, and he and General Tong Linge both want to be incorporated into our army of soldiers. I will explain to them according to your wishes." In the future, they are willing to keep the current establishment, but hope to receive exactly the same treatment as our other troops."

After the death of Song Zheyuan, the existing officer corps of the 29th Army, after consultations, finally reported to Nanjing that Qin Dechun would take over as the commander.However, after a reshuffle in Beiping, the territory was assigned to the 57th Army, and most of the military forces were assigned to the Xuebing Army.Among them are the teaching corps under the control of Qin Dechun and the new 37th division under the control of Tong Linge and Wang Zhibang.According to Qin Dechun and Tong Linge's intentions, they wanted to directly merge into the army, and the reason why Ouyang Yun rejected their kindness was that on the one hand, he did not want to excessively stimulate Nanjing and the surrounding forces; on the other hand, he had deep-seated considerations. .

Historically, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Nanjing government established the first war zone, appointed Feng Yuxiang as the commander-in-chief, and commanded the 29th Army, Han Fuqu Department, Yan Xishan and other departments to unite the anti-Japanese war.I don't know if it was because the time was advanced, but this event that was so impressive in Ouyang Yun's memory did not happen. Although the Nanjing side shouted loud slogans, they did not take any real action.Even though Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong wrote a petition together, they still haven't sent a general who can unify orders to the many forces in North China.Ouyang Yun is well aware of this period of history, and knows that the so-called First War Zone is actually just a name. Although most of the troops and forces in North China were developed from the former Northwest Army, there are not many who really bought Old General Feng's account.That being the case, if the 29th Army continues to exist, then future military expansion can be carried out openly.

After hearing Ji Xingwen's words, Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said, "There's no problem with this. Our Xuebing Army was originally reincarnated from the 29th Army Xuebing Corps. No matter from which point of view, we are brothers. Old Li, those security guards anyway How is the group doing now?"

The riots in Peiping were mainly caused by the security forces of the former 29th Army.After the Xuebing Army and the 57th Army entered the counter-insurgency, many security forces were recruited. Li Tieshu was in charge, and some of the soldiers who could fight were selected from them for training. This work has been carried out for nearly two months.

Li Tieshu nodded: "No problem, they can be sent to the battlefield at any time."

"Okay, let them go to Hengshui. They used to be the security force, so I gave them the designation of the security brigade," Ouyang Yun said, looked at Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen, and Zhang Zhen, and said, "The few of us, I Responsible for along the Great Wall, Deputy Commander Li is in charge of the Shandong side, Mu Jiandie, in the future, you will directly send the information about the Shandong side to Deputy Commander Li. On the Chahar side, Deputy Chief of Staff Kyrgyzstan, in addition to the 143rd Division, the security forces also There is the brigade of the original Cantonese brigade, all of which are dispatched by you. The brigade of the Cantonese brigade maintains its original establishment, but all the supplies are shared by our army. Mr. Jiang, please don’t skimp. This is what General Xiang and I have Agreed."

After the Cantonese Department led by Chen Jitang was overthrown, Xue Bingjun and Xiang Hanping can be said to be the ultimate beneficiaries.Among them, the benefits received by the Xuebing Army are even greater.Not only was their Dongshan County in Fujian consolidated, but they also gained a large piece of land in the surrounding Guangdong province. More importantly, they acquired hundreds of aircraft, which made the strength of the Xuebing Army a qualitative improvement at once. , This may be the reason why Nanjing has not dealt with the situation in North China for a long time.As long as he didn't reach the point where the country would be destroyed and his family would perish, Ouyang Yun had reason to believe that he would become another target for someone to fight against the outside world and settle down first, just like the army of the Communist Party.

Jiang Shuren nodded and said: "As long as the troops are sincere in fighting devils, we will not be short of a penny of their salary. However, Ouyang, I heard that the Cantonese troops are very short-lived. Do we need to verify the exact number of people?" Send it out again?"

Ouyang Yun waved his hand: "No, we only have military command power, but no jurisdiction. We just do our own thing." After a pause, he continued the topic above, looked at Zhang Zhen and said, "Chief Zhang, you Although you are not on the front line this time, you have the heaviest burden. Not only will you be responsible for the work of the Self-Defense Forces, but you will also be responsible for the logistics of our three forces. And most importantly, if the three of us fall into If the authorities are deluded, please give us a blow in the head."

Before this meeting, Ouyang Yun and others had held a small meeting to discuss the specific division of labor among the four people.Ouyang Yun originally wanted Li Tieshu to stay behind, but he refused on the grounds that he was not proficient in government affairs. He also pointed out that Ouyang Yun, as the highest officer of the Xuebing Army, was in danger through Xifengkou, so he should not be in danger himself.Naturally, Ouyang Yun was not allowed to stay behind, the two of them had a lot of quarreling, and in the end it was Zhang Zhen who took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to stay behind, thus solving the problem.

At this time, Ouyang Yun highlighted the importance of staying behind, which can be regarded as an indirect praise for Zhang Zhen's spirit of sacrifice.

Among the four military-level officers of the Xuebing Army, Zhang Zhen's background is the most orthodox, and his experience is also the most brilliant.If Jiang hadn't made a foolish trick at the beginning, he would never have gotten together with such reckless as Ouyang Yun.And after he experienced the rejection at the beginning and the cold-eyed wait-and-see in the middle, he saw Ouyang Yun's extraordinary "mutation" ability, and now he completely regarded himself as a part of the student army.Xu Shi saw Ouyang Yun's ulterior motives, he waved his hands and said: "The military seat is serious. In fact, no matter what position you are in, as long as you can contribute to the fight against devils, as long as it is beneficial to the survival and development of our student army, I will not hesitate. Do it. You can go to the front to command the troops without worry, and the rear will be handed over to us."

"Chief of Staff Zhang is well said! Comrades, let us work together!"

"effort!!"
