Chapter 703 Little Zhuge Visits

In the blink of an eye, 37 years have passed. On January 38, 1, the day before Ouyang Yun was about to leave for the United States, a group of guests came to the headquarters of the Xuebing Army.To his surprise, the leader turned out to be Bai Chongxi, an old neighbor with the title of "Little Zhuge".

Bai Chongxi chose this time to meet Ouyang Yun out of consideration of public and private interests.

In the battle of Nanjing, the Guangxi faction also sent the main force to fight, but the result was more tragic.Although the Guangxi troops who lacked experience in fighting the Japanese army fought extremely bravely and tenaciously, facing the devil's aircraft and cannons, this desperate Saburo style of fighting only increased casualties and accelerated their own defeat.The main force of the [-] Gui line was defeated in the first battle, with more than [-] casualties, and the rest were taken in and reorganized by other troops. Li Bai's business was destroyed for many years. For this reason, Xiao Zhuge was so angry that he could not eat for many days.

Before the Battle of Nanjing, Li Bai and Li Bai responded to Chiang Kai-shek's call and went to the central government to fight for the War of Resistance.This time when he came to Guangzhou, he also came to persuade Ouyang Yun under the order of Lao Jiang to let the Xuebing Army send troops to participate in the defense of Xuzhou.At the same time, he also had an idea, hoping that Ouyang Yun would give some support to the Gui Clan based on his past friendship, so that he and Li Zongren could enrich the Gui Clan again.The Guangxi Clique and the Xuebing Army are two different styles of military existence. The former completely relies on the local government. Although it never lacks in military resources, it is financially restricted by the local economy. Therefore, it is impossible for the Xuebing Army to be like the Xuebing Army. Get a new life.

When the Xue Bingjun first came to Guangdong, Bai Chongxi did not take this young army seriously.Although the two sides cooperated well at the beginning, as disagreements arose on the Fujian issue, it was once very unpleasant.Then, the Battle of Nanjing was a watershed - not only did the Xuebing army not be weakened by this battle, but they gathered two powerful Sichuan army divisions and uprooted the original Fujian army. The reorganization not only dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, but also solved their own hidden dangers along the way, which made Lao Jiang suffer a lot from being dumb.

On the other hand, what about the Guangxi family?The [-] main force is gone, and now in Guangxi, there are only [-] regular troops that can be used. This is already the last bit of Li Bai's family fortune, and now it seems that they must be invested in the defense of Xuzhou.Maybe, after this battle, the little remaining troops will become a thing of the past.

When Bai Chongxi calmed down, he also analyzed the reason in detail.Why is it that the more they fight, the stronger they become, and the more they fight, the more they can fight, but the Guangxi faction and even the Central Army are getting bigger and weaker, and even vulnerable to a single blow?Equipment is indeed a factor. The advanced equipment of the student army is not inferior to that of the Central Teaching Corps!However, if you only have equipment, you will not win, and you must have counterpart tactics.There is at least one division in the Guangxi family that is equipped with the whole department's cadet army, but what is the result?Faced with the little devil's plane and cannon, he was still beaten up.He used all the information and data he could get to study the performance of the Xuebing Army in the Battle of Nanjing. In the end, he had to admire: he was called Xiao Zhuge in vain, and he was not as good as a young boy. In terms of tactical arrangements, that was a crime. It's a big taboo for military strategists - if you dare to fight against the little devil without equipment to control firepower, isn't that making yourself unhappy?Look at how smart Ouyang Yun is. No matter what kind of battle is fought, the defense work is always in place first, with the least casualties to maintain the geographical advantage as the defender, and then equipped with a certain amount of controlled firepower. When it is critical, the little devil will be caught off guard. Often it works wonders.In addition, although most of the confrontations, the student army is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but they can always maintain local strength advantages in more critical and unexpected places. In this way, they have geographical advantages and strength advantages. The equipment is not inferior, it is really hard not to win this battle!
The most classic battle of the Xuebing army in the Battle of Nanjing was nothing more than replacing the main force with heavy supplies and civilians, attracting the three main divisions of the Japanese army, and then forming a local advantage in the Bailinpu area, using the tactics of the sea of ​​people to offset the air superiority of the little devils , thus laying a solid foundation for the subsequent evacuation in one fell swoop.

It was after careful study of this battle that Bai Chongxi came up with the idea that maybe he could borrow some money from Ouyang Yun to rebuild the troops of the Gui Clan left behind. Then, in time, the Gui Clan would surely be able to stand on the stage of history again.

When Bai Chongxi and his party suddenly appeared in Guangzhou, Ouyang Yun was watching the test flight of the XY130 helicopter named "Nightingale" at Baiyunshan Airport.

It was Ji Xingwen who called, and he asked, "Ouyang, do you want to see him?"

"See you! Little Zhuge will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, I'll be right back!"

On the way back to Guangzhou, Ouyang Yun asked Chen Shichang who had just returned from Fujian: "Guess why President Bai came here."

Chen Shichang is now the Chief of Staff and Director of the Political Department of the Fourth Army. When he came back to Guangzhou this time, he was looking for equipment from Ouyang Yun at the request of Shan Renxiong. Unexpectedly, he was arrested by Ouyang Yun and wanted to follow him to the United States. .

"It must be a lobbyist!" Chen Shichang thought for a while, and said with certainty.

For Chen Shichang, Ouyang Yun has always admired him, and has listed him as one of the young talents that the headquarters intends to cultivate. He deliberately tested him and said, "Be more specific!"

"It should be for the Battle of Xuzhou, right? The Battle of Nanjing didn't suffer a major loss of personnel. As for the Central Department and our Xuebing Army, it must be that someone is worried about us being the only one. After all, the success of the 'sink it' operation has already Let us temporarily grasp the initiative in the South China War."

"Then do you think we should grant their request?"

In fact, as early as a week ago, the Military Commission sent a message requesting that the cadet army send at least one army to participate in the upcoming defense of Xuzhou.Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and its strategic location is quite important. Whether Xuzhou can be kept within a certain period of time will have a very important impact on the Military Commission's deployment for the next stage of the War of Resistance.Ouyang Yun was well aware of this, and the reason why he didn't reply for a long time was, on the one hand, because the current situation in Guangzhou was not optimistic, and on the other hand, he was in deliberation.Now that the Xuebing Army has grown up, it is no longer his monopoly. What is ridiculous is that a considerable number of people who were called the Yun Party by Jiang at the beginning have now become the existence of a force that constrains Ouyang Yun.The emergence of such a situation must have never been imagined by the bigwigs in the central government, even Ouyang Yun did not expect it.Of course, this is also the inevitable growth of the student army from a purely armed force to a political force.When the Xue Bingjun becomes a complex of interests, it will inevitably be divided into two or even more interest groups due to different values. When these interest groups make major decisions, they will naturally proceed from their own standpoints. The interests of the group are considered.

Ouyang Yun has always had a good impression of Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi. One of the important reasons is that no matter how fierce they usually quarrel with Lao Jiang, they will resolutely choose to unite with the outside world in times of national crisis. These old warlords are worth learning from. It is also the ultimate guide for the development direction of the student army he formulated.

Chen Shichang was clearly aware of this, and answered without hesitation: "Of course. Isn't the purpose of our army of soldiers established to fight against the Japanese invaders and restore the country? What's the point of defending Fujian and Guangdong once the rest of the country falls?"

"Well said!" Ouyang Yun patted him on the shoulder, glanced at the other people in the car, and said, "Remember, no matter in the past, now, or in the future, there is only one student army Value - to defend the country, to benefit the people, whether it is a foreign enemy or a national criminal who undermines the unity of the country, we must resolutely eliminate and strike the target. Our army of soldiers is the soldiers of the people. The people refer to The common people in all of China, they are the relatives we need to protect, and the only concern we have in this world!"

"Yes!"

In the city of Guangzhou, Bai Chongxi and his party, led by Ji Xingwen, walked slowly between various construction sites. Facing the scene of construction in full swing, everyone including Bai Chongxi was moved by the indomitable drive of the people of Guangdong——

Bai Chongxi said with emotion: "Now I understand why the Xuebing army can't be defeated, can't it be defeated? This is the morale of the people, so what if the Japanese invade Guangzhou City? Can they really kill all the Cantonese? The Japanese may not be afraid Doing so, but what are the consequences?"

Along with him to visit the headquarters of the Xuebing Army, in addition to several brigade commanders of the Guangxi clique, there were also a dozen or so special people, including Zhang Kexia and Su Zhijie, two veterans of the Northwest Army from the Zhang Zizhong Department of the 57th Army. .They had already chatted with Ji Xingwen at this time, and they were talking about the respective journeys of the war of resistance since the separation of Hebei and Chahar.

The Xuebing army was forced to abandon North China and turn to the southeast, which was not a good thing for the 57th Army.Although the 57th Army had a few more military factories and thus successfully formed its first armored brigade, the drag on them from the wide-ranging power vacuum was also troubling.However, in the several battles of Tianjin, Beiping, and SJZ, the 57th Army lost consecutive battles due to the lack of effective air defense measures, and was almost defeated.If Zhang Zizhong hadn't acted decisively and decisively chose to evacuate, he and the 57th Army must have repeated the same mistakes in time and space, and were charged with humiliating traitors.

Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong have a deep personal relationship, but that's all.The position of the two sides' buttocks determines that the 57th Army and the Xuebing Army can only sit on an equal footing. Therefore, it is also doomed that the 57th Army cannot advance in the direction of the Xuebing Army's growth.Facts have proved that what the Xuebing Army did in Jicha is realistic, feasible and very targeted.As for the 57th Army, the different nature of the troops determines that they can only follow their own old path. Although they can win the trust and sympathy of the people, they cannot achieve the most fundamental change—once an armed force loses its stable financial resources Once the channel is forced to fight in all directions, its development space is doomed.

As a former veteran of the 29th Army, Ji Xingwen is well aware of this point. However, in the face of old friends, he can only express his sincere sympathy.
