Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 679 The Mouthpiece
(It’s been updated twice a day for three consecutive days. Fellow book lovers, don’t you think you’re poor? Let’s count the votes—to me, it’s just a popsicle in the hot summer.)

Since the Xuebing Army officially became an army, because it has a number of patents, including penicillin and TV sets, the finances have been relatively loose, so Ouyang Yun has always acted like a rich man.

As the Xuebing Army opened a pharmaceutical factory in the United States, and cooperated with RCA, Ford, and United Airlines to produce televisions, off-road vehicles, large passenger planes, and L-19 long-range bombers, the financial resources continued to flow in, which fully satisfied the Xuebing Army. The rapid expansion and equipment update.Of course, with the increasing scale of the student army, there are more and more development projects, some of which are burning money. Ouyang Yun unconsciously raised the pension amount of officers and soldiers repeatedly, which made the person in charge of finance Jiang Shuren began to complain.

In the Battle of Nanjing, the Xuebing Army had a complete reputation, and it also made Ouyang Yun the reputation of "the nemesis of Japanese pirates".However, this is based on the premise of huge wealth expenditure.

During the service, there were more than 280 soldiers killed in battle alone. Based on the standard of 150 silver dollars per person, the pension expenditure alone reached an astonishing [-] million silver dollars.When Ouyang Yun was the commander of the Nanjing garrison, he boasted about Haikou. The pensions for the soldiers killed in the four divisions of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army under his jurisdiction would be borne by the Xuebing Army in accordance with the standards of the Xuebing Army. A disbursement of nearly [-] million silver dollars.Including the loss of tanks and other ordnance and ammunition, the total cost of this battle reached an astonishing [-] million silver dollars.

When this number was just counted, Jiang Shuren exclaimed repeatedly: "We can't afford it, we can't afford it. If we continue to fight like this, we will go bankrupt."

When this report was sent to Ouyang Yun, he was also shocked by the number.He thought of the several large-scale battles he was familiar with in that time and space. The Chinese side frequently invested hundreds of thousands of troops and killed tens of thousands, or even 10,000+ people. What was the financial situation of the national government at that time? What about the support?You know, the number of troops dispatched by the Xuebing Army this time is only 5.It is true that the pension for the Xuebing Army is a bit higher, but all the pensions add up to only about 400 million yuan, so where did the other 700 million yuan go?Is it really so expensive to learn soldiers to fight wars?

The report was very detailed, and he flipped through it page by page, finally understanding the reason for such a high cost.

Among them, the loss of guns and ammunition is as high as more than [-] million - the performance of Weiqing type and Qubing type is certainly superior, but the loss rate is not low.During the First World War in Nanjing, an average of [-] Weiqing-style guns and [-] Qubing-style guns lost one, not including the barrels replaced by the Qubing-style guns.After the Battle of Nanjing, sooner or later the Japanese army will use force against Fujian and Guangdong. This will definitely be a protracted war.Presumably, as the wartime prolongs, such losses will definitely not be low.

"It's no wonder that later generations have a saying, which one will get the most money in the end of this war! I finally understand now!" After Ouyang Yun had such a realization, he began to think about how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.Therefore, the official, 26th cover, Czech ZB-[-], and even the kid's [-]-type light machine gun that he didn't like at first fell into his eyes.Specifically for this matter, he also drew up a plan to encourage troops to switch to captured weapons.Guo Da went to the headquarters to look for him once, and happened to see this plan, no, he immediately applied it.

Early in the morning on the second day after the Daheshan conflict ended, when Xue Yue and Jiang got the news, they were so angry that they were swearing at their mothers and throwing teacups in the office, swearing fiercely and wishing they could eat someone from Ouyang alive, all unoccupied areas across the country, Reports of this conflict have appeared in the newspapers -

"In the civil war in Dahe Mountain, the Xuebing Army severely damaged the new Second Division of the Jiangxi Department!"

"The army of students brazenly challenged the central government and attacked the Jiangxi troops of the National Revolutionary Army!"

"Who started the civil war in northern Fujian?"

"Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, the Xuebing Army shot angrily and severely damaged the newly established 41st and 42nd Divisions of the Jiangxi Department!"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the newly released "Guangdong Daily" and "Xuebingjun Times", exposing the black hands behind the civil war in northern Fujian!"

"Sir, buy a newspaper. There is an explosive news that Xue Bingjun and Xue Yue's troops are fighting in Dahe Mountain. Civil war is imminent!"

Ouyang Yun attaches great importance to public opinion reports, and the Fox Tong Foreign Affairs Department has established friendly relations with almost all major well-known newspapers and periodicals across the country.As a result, except for the newspapers controlled by the National Central Committee, almost all the reports in other newspapers and periodicals tended to favor Ouyang Yun and Xue Bingjun.On the contrary, Xue, who lost his army and generals, was described as the chief culprit who provoked troubles and triggered civil wars.In the eyes of Xue and Jiang, it is natural to reverse right and wrong and confuse black and white, which is tolerable or unbearable!

Forget about it, what makes some people hate is that the Xuebing Army actually filed a complaint first, before the Military Commission and the Ninth Theater Command, and sent a telegram to the whole country with the title "The Japanese invaders are certainly hateful, but the national thieves are especially shameful" , completely described himself as the victim, and publicly declared that if the Central Committee of the Nationalist Government and the Military Commission do not investigate the matter strictly and find out who is behind it, the Xuebing Army will reserve the right to independently pursue the perpetrators!

Poor, Lao Jiang originally just wanted to incorporate the three Fujian department divisions that originally belonged to the Central Department.It is a pity that Dai Li, who is good at trying to figure out the mind of the supreme leader, made a mistake this time. After doing so many things in a daze, he even wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ouyang Yun.

The plan was drawn up by him himself, and it was about the part of cooperation with the Japanese, and he went through repeated scrutiny.He originally thought that even if he couldn't get rid of Ouyang Yun by the hands of the Japanese, he would still be able to restrain his energy so as to help instigate the rebellion of the three Fujian divisions.

But the development of the matter obviously deviated from the track he set.

Dai Li was scolded by Lao Jiang Yitong, and after being ordered to reflect on himself, he finally realized where he had lost—he thought he understood Ouyang Yun, and thought that since Ouyang Yun was in Nanjing, he could accept the chairman's entrustment and serve as the chairman of the committee. If you stay behind, then you must have the overall situation in mind. Then, facing Xue Yue's provocation, you will proceed from the overall situation and choose to be patient.The fact is just the opposite, not to mention patience, this kid is not even willing to take a small loss.

This shows what?
If he was the one who noticed something, then this kid is really terrifying—his scheming is deep and his methods are ruthless, I'm afraid his plot is not small.

I hope he is only angry for a while, otherwise, it will be too difficult to restrain him in the future.Well, if there is a chance, it is better to eradicate this kind of person as soon as possible.

Dai Li made up his mind and began to officially treat Ouyang Yun as his enemy.

Dai Li was racking his brains thinking about how to deal with Ouyang Yun, but the latter didn't have the time to devote any more energy to this matter.

After encountering a round of beheading air strikes, Ouyang Yun withdrew from Fengling Pass, turned to Wuyi Mountains, and changed the practice field there. On October 10, with the exception of the 9st Division, all other participating units arrived, and the second part of the military exercise finally kicked off.At this moment, the soldiers of the army led by Mei Lanshu were writing vigorously in the newspaper, while Ouyang Yun rushed back to Guangzhou overnight after inspecting and expressing condolences to the participating troops.

The telegram was written after the exercise plan was finalized, and it was just waiting for the time to send it out.In fact, after writing this telegram, Ouyang Yun forgot about it.

Such a large-scale air strike by the Japanese army was not expected by Ouyang Yun in advance.For the student army, this is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity.

The vast sea area owned by Fujian and Guangdong has always been Ouyang Yun's heart disease.The naval strength of the Xuebing Army is really too weak, so weak that it can't even organize a frontal confrontation.The aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy was like a sharp sword hanging above Ouyang Yun's head, making him think all the time, what should he do if the sharp sword falls?

When the Japanese air strikes began, Ouyang Yun strictly prohibited the air force from dispatching, and let Tielin Fei and the others just blindly avoid it. At one time, it aroused the extreme indignation of the air force officers and soldiers, and even a brigade of aviation soldiers collectively bit their fingers and wrote a blood book to ask for the battle-this shows his attitude. How unpopular the strategy is.

Ouyang Yun has his own difficulties.This difficulty stems from the threat of the powerful aircraft carrier formation of the Japanese Navy.After more than a year of accumulation, the Xuebing Army now has more than 350 fighters. It is said that it can also fight the Japanese Air Force.But what about after World War I?Japan has the backing of the whole country, and the lost fighters can be quickly made up for.This point, the Xue Bingjun can't do it.Although the Xuebing Army has developed a fighter that is ahead of its contemporaries, the production capacity is too low.Buy?Where is the money?

Ouyang Yun has been waiting for an opportunity - not to finish the battle, but at least to sink the aircraft carrier, so that the Japanese will be afraid from now on, and when they want to invade the Fujian-Guangdong waters on a large scale, they must think about it first.

Now, this opportunity has come.

The bombing by the Japanese army regardless of the cost caused great losses to the city of Guangzhou.The bombing has lasted for five days, and at least three waves of Japanese planes fly over Guangzhou every day to bomb valuable targets.Fortunately, the Xuebing Army has always attached great importance to the construction of city defenses, dug enough air-raid shelters, and has early warning radars that can detect Japanese movements in advance. Therefore, although the buildings were severely damaged, there were not too many civilian casualties.

The cadet army and the air force avoided fighting, and the task of air defense fell entirely to the ground troops.Under the organization of Guo Biao and Chu Tiange, the units of the Xuebing Army stationed in Guangzhou formed an air defense unit of three full brigades. They took turns to intercept the Japanese planes in multiple positions, and paid a huge price for casualties. In this case, certain results were obtained, and nine Japanese planes were shot down in five days, including a reconnaissance plane.

Facing the attack from the air, the people of Guangzhou gradually accepted it calmly after experiencing the initial hesitation and fear.Now, I am used to entering the air defense facilities when the air defense alarm is sounded, and then return to the ground after the air defense alarm is lifted, and continue to live and work.The frequent bombing by the Japanese did not make the Guangzhou people lose their confidence in the Xuebing Army. Instead, it made them stand behind the Xuebing Army even more resolutely.
