Chapter 688 Qingliu Raiders
(Two in one, let's make a reward, brothers)
For Ouyang Yun and Xue Bingjun, the "sink it" action is actually a big gamble.Fortunately, he actually won.As a result, the situation in Fujian and Guangdong, which was originally gloomy, suddenly cleared up and became brighter.

Although the bombing in the past few days has caused great battle damage to the participating troops and serious damage to the city of Guangzhou, it is bound to be a huge expenditure. It was enough to add a few more hairs to Jiang Shuren's head.However, thinking about the huge hull of the "Chicheng" and the "Feilong" that are already lying on the rocks on the seabed of the Taiwan Strait to feed fish, even Jiang Shuren's face has a little more smile...

In the city of Guangzhou, the fire that ignited after the bombing was finally completely extinguished. The brilliant results of the "Sink It" operation have now become the most effective weapon to sweep away the haze in the hearts of the people of Fujian and Guangdong.The people of Guangzhou mobilized and began to transport broken bricks and tiles to the outside of the city. At the same time, batches of convoys came from other cities, bringing in freshly baked cement, bricks, stones and other building materials—after experiencing a huge trauma Under the mobilization and organization of the Xuebing Army Autonomous Government, the people of Guangdong and even Fujian are devoting themselves to the construction of new cities with greater enthusiasm.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on October 19th, at the main airport of Changbai Mountain, Ouyang Yun stood in the cab of a shiny silver "Xue 1" baiji, and organized a meeting for the groups that made great contributions to the "Sink It" operation. Commendation ceremony for individual awards.

At this commendation meeting, three people were awarded the title of ace pilots, namely Xue Changkong, commander of the First Air Division, Ju Canglang, commander of the Third Squadron of the First Division of the First Air Division, and Tu Mancheng, a pilot of the Fighter Squadron of the First Division of the Third Air Division; a total of 19 One person was posthumously awarded special merit, 27 people were awarded first-class merit, and more than [-] people were awarded second-class merit; The four divisions won special merit; one brigade and two squadrons were named after the martyrs, namely Yujian Fighter Brigade, Jucanglang Fighter Squadron, and Zhang Zhiyuan Bomber Squadron.

The reason why this commendation meeting was postponed until now is because the military committee that has moved to Wuhan has called in advance to commend the meritorious soldiers in the "sink it" operation.Ouyang Yun felt that this was an opportunity to resolve the "misunderstanding" caused by the Daheshan incident, so he readily agreed.In this way, he won another second-class Baoding Medal, and now he already has two Baoding Medals.The three ace pilots including Xue Changkong were awarded or posthumously awarded a National Glory Medal.Others, etc., also won dozens of medals.

The commendation meeting took two hours, and it was lunch time after the end. Therefore, all senior officials above the lieutenant general level of the Xuebing Army, including Ouyang Yun and Jiang Guangnai, finally had the opportunity to sit together and drink a meal of celebration wine.

Among the three ranks of the cadet army, the Air Force has the highest level of food, which is also a level higher than the elite Spike Special Forces Brigade among the army's elite.Just because of this consideration, Pan Meiren, who was in charge of coordinating the commendation conference, did not add special dishes for the dinner.

Of course, officers above the lieutenant general level of the Xuebing Army gathered together, not just to participate in the commendation meeting.The Japanese Combined Fleet suffered severe damage in the Taiwan Strait, which is a rare development opportunity for the Xuebing Army.Ouyang Yun wanted to use this dinner to make specific arrangements for future work.

Li Tieshu, Ji Xingwen, Jiang Guangnai, Li Hanhun and several other big bosses all came from their respective units in charge of Starry Night. Among them, Jiang Guangnai and Li Hanhun entered Changbaishan Air Force Base for the first time.The two inspected overnight last night, and they were already shocked.After everyone took their seats according to Pan Meiren's arrangement, Li Hanhun was the first to express emotion: "It's a pity that General Xiang Hanping couldn't witness this scene with his own eyes, otherwise, he must have left more at ease!"

Xiang Hanping is the highest-ranking officer of the Xuebing Army who died of illness recently.The site selection of the Changbai Mountain Air Force Base was solely undertaken by him. At that time, it had not been long before the Xuebing Army took over Guangdong. Who knew that he would be seriously ill just a few months later, and even failed to complete the base's inauguration ceremony. join.

Among so many generals, Li Hanhun, as the old Cantonese with the highest military rank and position, is the only one who can express his emotion.You know, even though Xiang Hanping is seriously ill, he is still the second in command of the Xuebing Army and the backbone of the old Cantonese Department.

Ouyang Yun couldn't help but sigh when he heard the words - in that time and space, Xiang Hanping was never able to enter the center of power again in his whole life.After Xue Bingjun entered Guangdong, although the cooperation between the two was not happy due to some interest disputes, but from the bottom of his heart, he still respected Xiang Hanping.Because of his knowledge of that time and space, he did not expect Xiang Hanping to pass away so early, and died of illness.

The current composition of the Xuebing Army is much more complicated than when it was in charge of Renqiu.Among them, Xiang Hanping and Jiang Guangnai were the mainstays of the old Cantonese faction and the [-]th Route Army. In all honesty, their existence would do more harm than good to Ouyang Yun and even the Xuebing Army.Although Ouyang Yun disliked Jiang's argument that one country, one political party, one leader, in fact, he also knew that in this troubled time, implementing this set of strategies may not be a bad thing.For Xiang Hanping's premature departure, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for him and even the Xue Bingjun.Of course, everyone here can understand this, so on this matter, everyone has maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding—including Jiang Guangnai.

Jiang Guangnai responded to Ouyang Yun's call and resolutely returned to Fujian from Hong Kong to take charge. If he had a certain degree of selfishness at the beginning, then after being tricked by Ou Shounian and others, he realized it completely.Now, witnessing with his own eyes that the Xuebing Army led by Ouyang Yun, relying on Fujian and Guangdong alone, caused the little devil's vitality to be severely injured. His views on the Xuebing Army and even Ouyang Yun were different, and his own position was also different. a clear understanding.

He said: "The Sri Lankan man has passed away, and the unfinished business of General Xiang, let us survivors inherit it. This time our cadet army severely damaged the Japanese Combined Fleet. Although it must have aroused the Japanese's redoubled hatred, it is bound to make other I am afraid. In a short period of time, we should not dare to try our edge again. We just took this opportunity to straighten out internal and external relations, train our troops, and make sufficient preparations for the next war of resistance. One year, but it has been delayed by many affairs before, and a unified government order or military order has not been formed until now. Commander in chief, I think that the focus of our army's work in the next stage should be based on this, and learn from the successful experience of Guangdong's governance , Complete the comprehensive transformation of Fujian Province, plan ahead, and be ready to go to war at any time."

After Jiang Guangnai was invited to work in Fujian, due to various reasons, Ouyang Yun and him only met four times in total.Although I have considerable expectations and confidence in him because of what I have seen and heard in that time and space, but after all, I have never made a heart-to-heart relationship, and I always have no confidence in my heart.This time, taking the opportunity of holding a commendation meeting, he was intending to have a good exchange with Jiang Guangnai, and when he heard these words, he felt a lot of confidence in his heart.

There was Li Tieshu between Jiang Guangnai and him. He smiled kindly at the other party and said: "Deputy Commander Jiang's remarks are clear and objectively explain all the problems that exist in Fujian. The 'sink it' action itself It was just a gamble, and the reason why I dared to gamble and had to gamble, on the one hand, was that Mitsumasa Minai was too careless and brought the opportunity to his door; Fujian and Guangdong are bound to pay a huge price, so they have to find another way. You must be aware that in terms of the ground situation alone, the Japanese army wants to attack Fujian and Guangdong. With the current scale and means of our army, there is absolutely no problem in defending this single line of defense. However, considering our weak coastal defense force and the super-long coastline of Fujian and Guangdong, once the Japanese army cooperates with the sea and land, our furniture will not be enough Look. The coast is the weakness of our army. The tonnage of our navy is not enough for others. Therefore, we must rely on the air force for the defense of the coastline. The scale of our air force is also one of the best in China. , but as long as we think about the size of the sea-based air force under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Combined Fleet, we still have no chance of winning—you now know why I let the Air Force keep avoiding the battle at the beginning of the battle, right? The Air Force is really too important to us It has become the only reliance on whether our army can hold Fujian and Guangdong. Since then, I have been waiting for an opportunity, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon! Haha, today is a celebration banquet, and the main task is to drink and celebrate. Okay Alright, the dishes are almost ready, the chefs at the air force base are pretty good at cooking, let's start first and let's talk about filling our stomachs!"

"Go, go!"

"Commander-in-Chief, let me toast you first!"

"Respect me first, isn't it off topic? Today's meal was won for us by Iron Commander and the brothers in the air force. If you want to respect, you should respect them first—"

"Commander Tie, let me toast you first—don't refuse, this is an order from the commander-in-chief!"

As the tables began to change glasses, Ouyang Yun ate two mouthfuls of food and drank two glasses of wine, changed seats with Li Tieshu, sat next to Jiang Guangnai, toasted him a glass of wine, and said: "President Jiang, last time After the bandit suppression is over, I want to take advantage of the situation to rectify Fujian's government affairs. However, the situation in Fujian is quite special, so this delay has been delayed until now. This time we were lucky to severely damage the United Fleet, and we will definitely be able to obtain a certain buffer period, but this It’s hard to say how long it will take. So I think our rectification this time should have a focus, and the ultimate goal is to prepare for war. What do you think?”

"The Commander-in-Chief—"

"Call me Ouyang, you are my idol, this is not a formal occasion, let's be casual."

"Okay. Some time ago you led the team to Nanjing. I have already started this matter. I have done a lot of peripheral work. Now, let me mention the difficulties. As you said, the situation in Fujian is indeed very special. There are two special places here. One is that many local governments still maintain contact with the Nanjing government, and the other is that in the Qingliu and Ninghua areas, it is now the Communist guerrillas who control the places. The commander-in-chief—”

"Ouyang!"

"Ouyang, I have analyzed your governing style. If I expected it to be right, it is more left-leaning. Therefore, I am more concerned about how you plan to deal with Qingliu?"

Qingliu!The origin of coal mines, lead-zinc mines, and tungsten mines is nothing more than lead-zinc mines. Coal mines and tungsten mines are too important for the military industry of the Xuebing Army.The reason why Ouyang Yun was willing to give up his base in North China for more than two years and come to Guangdong was because of the existence of Qingliu and Longyan.

Qingliu produces high-quality coal and tungsten, Makeng in Longyan produces iron, and Guangdong also has bauxite veins and copper mines. With these main minerals, Xuebingjun's iron and steel industry and non-ferrous metal industry have no worries about raw materials. Only then can we vigorously develop the military industry.

The Xuebing army entered Fujian in the name of suppressing bandits, and it was originally aimed at Qingliu and Longyan.However, the later development of the situation was beyond Ouyang Yun's original expectations. The garrisons of the 61th Division, the 78st Division, and the [-]th Division successfully implemented the regime change because of the troops. The troops were dispatched and included in the bag, but Lianqingliu and some other small places were not taken care of because of the outbreak of the Battle of Nanjing.Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army formed the South China Front Army to threaten the border, and it was even more difficult to withdraw. Now, it is time to solve these places.

Ouyang Yun: "Qingliu must be captured. The coal mines and tungsten mines there must be controlled by us. As for how to capture it, I want Kang Dafu to solve it."

Although Kang Dafu does not have a military position, he is considered a high-ranking official of the military government. Jiang Guangnai has heard of him, but he is not clear about his red background. Hearing the words, he read in a consultative manner: "Kang Dafu? Mr. Jiang's deputy ?”

"Yes. He's a ****."

"Oh! It would be best if it can be resolved peacefully, I'm afraid the price will not be small."

"We are willing to pay a certain price. With Kang Dafu coming forward, I believe their request will not be too much."

"So? What about the local armed forces? Also in the form of 'Self-Defense Forces'?"

"The security forces are not bad either, Mr. Jiang, I heard that the two security guards under your command are not weak in combat effectiveness."

"It's not that I'm arrogant. Those two security divisions were built according to regular troops. As long as they are equipped with regular army weapons, they are regular troops. But the construction cost of building troops is not low, and Fujian is not as rich as Guangdong. If Everywhere is doing this, I am afraid that there will be financial difficulties. I have another worry, no one knows how much time the Japanese will give us, so these things cannot be delayed, the sooner the better."

Ouyang Yun nodded: "I think so too. Originally, I thought that the land reform and military construction would be carried out together, but now it seems that there is no time for such a case, so my plan is to directly start with the military, and then Mr. Jiang and the others have already made specific plans to drive the land and other aspects, Mr. Jiang, let’s go back to Guangzhou to see Mr. Jiang tomorrow.”

"it is good!"

The next day, Ouyang Yun and Jiang Guangnai drove into Guangzhou City under the escort of their respective security forces, and met Jiang Shuren in a temporary office.

As the convoy traveled along the way, busy construction scenes could be seen everywhere.Jiang Guangnai came from Fujian the night before. Although he passed through Guangzhou, he didn't see this scene because it was night. At this time, he couldn't help but be moved by the scene.

"I originally thought that with the destruction of homes and the separation of relatives, the city of Guangzhou must be a miserable scene. Now it seems that everyone is actively participating in the construction of the new city. Guangzhou is more like a busy large construction site. It can be seen that the Xuebing Army It has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Guangdong!"

This really made Ouyang Yun proud.He smiled and said: "This should be due to our complete air defense facilities and effective preventive measures. When we were in Renqiu, we had experienced this level of damage. That time was much worse than today's Guangzhou. However, we We survived. The Chinese people should be the most honest and kind-hearted nation in the world. All we want is to live and work in peace and contentment. The Japanese thought that destroying our houses would destroy our courage to live. Unexpectedly , in the face of foreign enemies, we have always been more frustrated and courageous."

"If the country is a city, then the army is the wall, and the people are the bricks. It is not terrible if the city is broken, and it is not terrible if the wall falls. As long as there are bricks, it can be built into a wall and surrounded into a city. I dare say that Japan People failed to destroy the city of Guangzhou this time, and there will be no such opportunity in the future!"

Jiang Shuren may be the busiest person in the entire Xuebing military and political system right now. When Ouyang Yun saw him, he was surrounded by a large circle of people.Ouyang Yun saw that he, who had always paid attention to his appearance, had a sloppy beard and his hair was tied together, so he knew that the God of Wealth of the Xuebing Army was really troubled this time.

In order to lure out the student army and the air force, Minai Guangzheng really spent all his money. It is not known how many tons of bombs were dropped on the city of Guangzhou alone.As a result, the city of Guangzhou did not fall, and the Xuebing Army Air Force did not exhaust its entire army, but his combined fleet, the most important four aircraft carriers sank two, seriously injured two, and lost more than half of its fighter planes.Perhaps it was because of this thought that Jiang Shuren, who was throwing out a lot of money, did not act like a miser as usual, on the contrary, he kept talking and laughing at Yan Yan, like a boy who spread money.Obviously, he also understands what the victory of this "Sink It" operation means to the student army.

Ouyang Yun and Jiang Guangnai were both busy people, but seeing that Jiang Shuren was at work, the two of them never went up to interrupt them, but they didn't walk into that place until those who were looking for Jiang Shuren's business found them and voluntarily moved out of the way. A rough looking office.

Jiang Shuren was surprised and happy to see them.After Ouyang Yun left Guangzhou for Fengling Pass, although the two of them had talked on the phone several times these days, it was the first time they met face to face.

"Commander-in-Chief, Deputy Commander Jiang, why are you here? Come on, please sit down! Pony, pour some water. Hehe, there is no tea in the temporary office, so the two of you will take care of it."

Ouyang Yun knew that he was busy, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic after exchanging pleasantries.

Jiang Shuren has always paid more attention to Qingliu and Longyan because of their minerals.As the God of Wealth of the cadet army, what he thinks all day long is how to increase income and reduce expenses. Therefore, those unsettled places in Fujian are also a part of his heart.If the Xuebing army wants to gain a foothold here for a long time, it must comb the whole of Fujian to increase the strategic depth. As one of the leaders of the cloud party, he has been planning these contents early, so he has figured out their intentions , Immediately asked someone to call Kang Dafu, and asked his secretary to quickly get the plan for the Jingsui area.

As Jiang Shuren's deputy, Kang Dafu has been busy with specific urban planning work during this time.He rushed directly from the construction site to Jiang Shuren's temporary office, not having time to wash off the dirt smeared on his face by dust and sweat.Xu thought it was Jiang Shuren who was looking for him, so he didn't expect Ouyang Yun to be here at all. He couldn't help being surprised when he saw the latter, and instinctively shouted: "Commander-in-Chief?!"

Ouyang Yun stood up and greeted him, saying: "Mr. Jiang, it's been a hard time."

"It should be, Commander-in-Chief, you are the one looking for me?" Perhaps it was because Ouyang Yun had talked with him, and Kang Dafu felt a little uncomfortable seeing him again.As for the reason why his identity has stayed here, both sides are well aware, which may be the reason why Kondav is uncomfortable.

"This is Jiang Guangnai, deputy commander-in-chief. He is now in charge of Fujian. Mr. Kang, let me be honest and honest. Qingliu County, we are going to take it back."

Kang Dafu greeted Jiang Guangnai, and when he heard this, his face was calm, but he was quite calm.

"Your Vice Chairman Zhou and I are friends, and I have always had a good impression of your party. Therefore, I would like to ask you to come forward to resolve this matter peacefully. Qingliu, we are determined to win, and you must know the reason. For this reason, we are willing to Pay a certain price, but the condition is that your people can leave from there—you can go to Fujian with Deputy Commander Jiang now, and you can think carefully on the way.”

Ouyang Yun acted a little aggressively, but Kang Dafu seemed to have expected this day long ago, his performance was still calm.After Ouyang Yun finished speaking, he said: "Commander-in-chief, our people have already discussed the issue of Qingliu. To be honest, they were still wondering why you didn't take any action a while ago. You know that Qingliu is under their painstaking efforts Under the management, the current humanistic atmosphere is very good, and they are also very friendly to the Xuebing Army..."

Ouyang Yun heard that he deliberately cared about the appellation in these words, he exchanged a glance with Jiang Guangnai and Jiang Shuren, and then smiled, and said, "I know all these things, let's raise their conditions."

"They want to take a stake."

"Oh?" This condition was beyond Ouyang Yun's expectation.

"Coal mines only need 20% of the shares; limestone, 30%; tungsten mines, 10% is enough. Commander-in-Chief, they want to use these proceeds to directly exchange guns and other materials from us, do you think it is feasible? Oh, yes Yes, this is a letter from Vice Chairman Zhou to you."

To be honest, the share share they asked for was not high. Considering that they could still bargain, Ouyang Yun had already made up his mind: it was feasible.However, when he heard that the prime minister had written a letter to himself, he knew that this bargaining was impossible.

He read the letter carefully, put it away, and smiled at Kang Dafu: "Since there is a letter from Vice Chairman Zhou, then it is decided like this!"

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief."

"Hehe, everyone is here to beat devils!"
