Chapter 40
After Ouyang Yun finished the song, the students were stunned for a moment, and then clapped their hands. Many people, especially those from the original third company, jumped up and down on the truck, clamoring, "Your singing is good!" "Tuan Zuo, come one more!" "Tuan Zuo, teach us!"...

Ouyang Yun hurriedly waved his hands to stop, frowned deliberately and said, "I can't boast anymore, if I boast more, my self-confidence may flood, and maybe I will become a singer when I get excited."

"Haha!" Everyone was happy, and some naughty said: "Leader, if that's the case, we will definitely go to support you." Many other people wanted to make comments, and Ouyang Yun waved his hand when he saw that everyone had almost rested Say, "Okay, relax, move on - I announce that in half an hour, the first 50 people will transfer to trucks!"

The 5-minute rest time is actually far from enough for the students who have not slept all night and their emotions are ups and downs. Because of this, the temptation of "transfer to a truck" is not small, and the students immediately screamed , scrambling to run forward.

Ouyang Yun smiled slightly, touched his dry throat, stepped back to the side of the road, looked back, waited for Li Tieshu to walk in front of him, went up to him and said, "Commander Li, are you interested in running with me for a while?"

Li Tieshu was taken aback, and immediately realized that he had something to do with him, so he jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Guo Xiaojiang, ordered him to ride first, and said, "Okay."

The two fell behind the team and ran at a leisurely pace. Ouyang Yun said, "Commander Li, do you think there will be tails behind us?"

Li Tieshu was very thoughtful, and immediately heard the meaning behind his words. He gave the little boss another high look, but he didn't expect that he was still thinking about the two plainclothes Japanese soldiers, and said, "It's hard to say, Mr. Tuan, are you investigating?" one time?"

"Let's talk about it when we get to Wan Village, Company Commander Li, you are older than me, so call me Ouyang in private."

"Okay, then please call my name too, Tieshu is a vulgar person, he didn't take the characters."

Ouyang Yun smiled: "I don't have words either, it's both a name and a word, it's troublesome."

"Hehe, Tuan, Ouyang, I have carefully checked the wounds on the two plainclothes, it was done by professionals."

Ouyang Yun nodded and said, "The method is very sophisticated. If there is no accident, those two people should be spies in ambush by the Japanese."

"Well, the shirt is Japanese army style."

"Tie Shu, you observe very carefully."

"To each other," Li Tieshu finished speaking, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Ouyang Yun said: "It seems that they are friends rather than enemies."

"I don't know if it was sent by the 29th Army to secretly 'protect' us," Li Tieshu emphasized on the word "protection".

"In all likelihood, I'm important to them right now."

This was quite brazen. Li Tieshu looked at the young face of the other party. In the morning light, there was a layer of oily smudge on that face, which made him look very confident.This made him feel that the other party didn't mean to be joking or flamboyant, and couldn't help but become more and more incomprehensible to this little boss——Ouyang Yun is a mysterious figure to him!
This is also the trait of a traverser, right? !

The "transfer" competition initiated by Ouyang Yun greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the students, which greatly increased the marching speed of the large troops. At around nine o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the foot of the hill on the left of Wan Village.

Along the way, in order not to reveal the purpose of the trip, Ouyang Yun met people working in the fields, and specially arranged for the soldiers to explain to the villagers: We belong to the 25th Division, and we were ordered by Shangfeng to evacuate Hebei.

Due to years of wars, ordinary people have suffered greatly from the war, and most of them stay away from military affairs; and the "Hemei Agreement" has just been signed, and there are not many people who know the truth. In addition, the information in the countryside is blocked, and even fewer people know the truth. There was not much reaction to the withdrawal of a small army. Most people just watched indifferently, and at most they chatted after dinner, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.And some well-informed and insightful people thumped their chests and feet, and sighed with tears: Woohoo!Is Hebei going to become the next Chadong again?

After entering Wan Village, Ouyang Yun learned from the villagers that the name of the destination was Earth Mountain, and the name of the mountain originated from the Earth Temple.

The land mountain is only more than 500 meters high, with a radius of about ten kilometers. The mountain is lush and full of trees, and it is not a problem to hide thousands of troops inside.

Under the command of Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu, and Chen Shichang, the convoy followed the road down the mountain and turned into the forest. The students hurriedly made some branches and leaves to cover them up, and then left a platoon of troops on guard.Li Tieshu selected more than a dozen veterans of the former third company, stretched out for more than five miles along the road towards Wanping, and set up many secret sentries.Ouyang Yun asked Chu Tiange to take a few students from the reconnaissance platoon and rode to Wanping to meet Chao Hongle and Pang Wenju.Others gathered at the Earth Temple under the leadership of their respective officers.

On the square at the entrance of the Earth Temple, the remains of eight martyrs were neatly placed. The soldiers stood neatly and solemnly. Many of them were holding dry food but could not swallow it.

Ouyang Yun originally wanted everyone to have a farewell ceremony after breakfast, but when the moment of parting comes, who can eat?

After several hours of hard marching, many people were so tired that they almost forgot the battle last night. However, facing the frozen faces of former classmates and comrades in arms, the tragic battle scene last night came to mind. When I woke up, it turned out that I had just come out of a test of life and death.

I don't know who was the first to let out the sound of sobbing. Then, the team seemed to be infected. Most of the people shed tears. Some friends and classmates of the dead soldiers swear while crying: "..., all the way Let's go, your Qiuxue Corps has already reported for you, and we will complete your unfinished volunteers for you!"

Facing the crowd, Ouyang Yun was in a very uncomfortable mood. He knew that sacrifice was the price of victory, that as long as he fought, he would definitely die, but for some reason, he always had this extravagant hope in his heart: If only one of the other party did not die, he would die. How good would it be to defeat the opponent? !He shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that this was a foolish dream, he puffed up his chest, and said loudly: "Comrades, remember these comrades who died! In order to save the country from the Japanese pirates' iron heels, and to have a bright future for the motherland. In the future, they sacrificed their young and precious lives!" After a pause, he shouted loudly: "The entire academy is here, stand at attention, take off your hat, and salute the martyrs!" Then he stood at attention first, took off his hat, turned around, and faced the Eight sleeping comrades raised their hands.

With a sound of "swish", all the personnel in the square gave a sonorous and forceful military salute to their dead comrades in uniform.

在土地庙附近找了一个向阳的地方,欧阳云和学兵们掩埋了战友的尸体,墓前立一石碑云:学兵团5.6防御战八烈士之墓——29军学兵团全体战友立于1935年5月7日。

Facing the stele, Ouyang Yun said softly: "One day, I will erect a huge stele on Tiananmen Square, so that all future generations will come to admire you and remember your deeds forever - believe me."

Standing beside him, Chen Shichang asked softly, "Head, is a summary meeting going to be held next?"

Ouyang Yun looked at the students around him, saw that most of them looked haggard, and said: "Let everyone have breakfast and rest, and then we will start the summary meeting. By the way, leave a few soldiers who can speak well. It’s best to be from Peking, I have important tasks for them to do. Tie Shu, you also keep it.”

A few minutes later, Chen Shichang led six apprentices into the left side room of the Earth Temple, which is now the headquarters and command center of the apprentice regiment.

Ouyang Yun asked everyone to sit down first, and asked with a smile: "I've been running around all night, are you tired?"

"Captain, we can hold on."

"Tuan Zuo, if you have any tasks, you can just issue them."

Ouyang Yun nodded in satisfaction, then told his plan, and finally asked: "Do you have confidence?"

Chen Shichang stood up together with six students, stood at attention and saluted, "I promise to complete the task."

Ouyang Yun gave them a military salute in return, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news at the Earth Temple. Remember, we must make full use of the media's role in creating momentum. The bigger the momentum, the better." After a pause, he turned to Chen Shichang Said: "Shichang, I will hand over all six of them to you. After completing the task, you must bring them back safely to me."

Chen Shichang saluted, and said firmly: "Tuan Zuo, you can relax, it's just moving your mouth and writing, it's not a war, I guarantee that everyone will not lose a hair!"

Ouyang Yun smiled and said: "I hope so, then I wish you success immediately!" Then he shook hands with them one by one, and after they changed into casual clothes, he sent the seven of them down the mountain.

Historically, Shi Yousan and others took advantage of the time when the national army was completely withdrawn from Hebei, and with the secret support of the Japanese, gathered a large number of traitors and hooligans to revolt in Wanping, trying to control Peiping and engage in the so-called "Peking Autonomy".This incident caused an uproar across the country. Ouyang Yun's arrangement only added fuel to the flames under the general trend of history and accelerated the pace of the 29th Army entering Beiping and then controlling Hebei.

The reason why he acted so solemnly was, from a certain point of view, to sell Song Zheyuan a favor.
