Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 75

21-year-old brigade commander?A direct promotion from major to colonel?In terms of Ouyang Yun's qualifications, it really didn't match up. After the 29th Army entered Hebei, expansion has been vowed to be done. At the peak in history, the 29th Army had reached the establishment of 48 regiments, that is to say, there were 48 regiment leaders.There are many famous generals and fierce generals among these people (the 29th Army seems to be rich in this, which may be related to the fact that General Feng Yuxiang was the founder of the Northwest Army. As traditional Chinese soldiers, they pay more attention to loyalty, benevolence, bravery and trustworthiness. In history, such as Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian, Zhao Dengyu , Ji Xingwen, etc., they always hold high the banner of the Northwest Army because of the support of traditional concepts), Ouyang Yun, as an outsider, has no military experience, and has ascended to a high position by virtue of some strange skills, not to mention being unconvincing. Even he himself felt that being an official was a bit of a joke.The independent brigade is called a brigade, but in fact it belongs to the division-level organization, and the brigade commander is equivalent to the division commander. To be a division commander at the age of 21 is truly unprecedented and unprecedented (except for some special cases).The so-called climbed higher and fell harder. He had no real people to rely on in the 29th Army, and the strength he could rely on was too thin. If you make a mistake, it will definitely be blamed by thousands of people.

Li Tieshu, Gu Lianyun, and Ouyang Yun himself are all aware of this. For Ouyang Yun, it is a good thing to be able to control a little more of the army, but the posture still needs to be——

So at the military meeting of the 29th Army, which he described as splitting the cake the next day, when Song Zheyuan announced the appointment in public, he once again expressed his inadequacy and hoped that the military seat could reconsider.

It's interesting to say that at this meeting, except for Ouyang Yun who is a colonel, the lowest rank of the others is also a major general. It can be described as a grand gathering of generals.

Among the generals, only Feng Zhi'an had seen Ouyang Yun, but he came very late.Before the meeting, other people looked at Ouyang Yun holding a notebook, asked this one to sign his name, and poured a cup of tea for that one, and his military rank was still a major, so they thought he was a staff officer or an adjutant of the military department, but It never occurred to anyone that he might also be one of the attendees.When Guo Biao announced the start of the meeting, everyone saw that he had also sat down in the last seat, and a few of them couldn't help but stare, secretly saying that this kid is so ignorant?What did he come to get involved in our meeting?Clerk?Then you should sit at the side table!
There are a few people who know the news, such as Feng Zhian and Zhang Zizhong. The former knew Ouyang Yun, and the latter knew that this little officer who admired him was one of the "anti-Japanese heroes" who are now in the limelight. The head of the academy corps, who is about to be promoted to brigade commander, couldn't help but look at him twice, and judged that the other party's age was no more than 25 years old. He shook his head secretly, thinking that the military seat was really messing around, he was obviously a big boy !Hand over an army of nearly 1 people to him?Suspended!He was sighing secretly when Song Zheyuan and Qin Dechun walked into the meeting room.

Everyone stood up at the same time, saluted one after another, and shouted: "The military seat! The deputy military seat!" "I have seen the military seat, the deputy military seat."

Song Zheyuan waved his hands with a smile and said, "Everyone sit down." He took the first seat himself, and when Qin Dechun also sat down, he glanced at everyone's faces with a smile, then pointed to Ouyang Yun and said: "Ouyang, you are the new face here, introduce yourself."

Ouyang Yun stood up quickly, and gave a beautiful military salute: "Yes!" Said: "I am Ouyang Yun, now the acting head of the academy, please give me your advice!" After speaking, he raised his hand and turned his upper body to face everyone I gave a military salute.

Song Zheyuan said: "What acting head, from today onwards you are the colonel and brigade commander of the Independent Brigade of Soldiers, come, let me introduce you to the generals." He started to introduce one by one from the left hand.

"Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Qin Dechun, the think tank of our 29th Army." Qin Dechun was tall and thin, he smiled and nodded towards Ouyang Yun.Ouyang Yun immediately gave him a military salute and said, "I have seen Deputy Commander Qin."

Song Zheyuan pointed to a middle-aged man with two sword eyebrows on his right hand, "Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Zhang Weifan." Ouyang Yun immediately saluted Zhang Weifan, and said, "Chief of Staff, please give me your advice!" Zhang Weifan nodded slightly .

Next came Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian...

Except for Qin Dechun who appeared last with Song Zheyuan, the generals present here, Ouyang Yun, all got their autographs, so they already knew each other.Song Zheyuan's words to correct Ouyang Yun were earth-shattering, and many people found it inconceivable.Just after Song Zheyuan introduced everyone, Zhang Zizhong took the lead and asked Ouyang Yun, "Brigade Commander Ouyang, is this year Guigeng?"

Ouyang Yun answered honestly: "21."

"Huh!" Now, not to mention Zhang Zizhong who asked the question, the others including Zhang Weifan couldn't help being stunned. Zhang Weifan woke up first. He looked at the expressions of his old comrades-in-arms, and then looked at Song Zheyuan, who was always smiling. , coughed and said: "Army, isn't he too young? He hasn't been the regiment commander for long. In terms of experience in leading troops..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already obvious. If Ouyang If this little guy like Yun, an outsider, were to be the brigade commander, then the many veteran regimental commanders in the 29th Army would definitely have objections—to sum it up in one sentence, it’s hard to convince the public!

Song Zheyuan didn't wait for him to finish, looked at the crowd and asked: "Do you know the predecessor of the Academy Corps - the training class for the students of the 25th Division, there were only more than 200 people in total, but these 200 people have been wiped out under the leadership of Commander Ouyang More than 400 devils were killed. One time, the Japanese sneaked into the station of the Xuebing Corps in Tianjin. The Japanese soldiers who participated in that time were all elite gendarmes from Meijin. The second time in Wancun, the three friends and the Japanese wanted to make a fuss about Beiping autonomy, but they were killed by Ouyang The head of the regiment made an ambush, more than 2700 people, more than 200 devils were all wiped out, and Shi Yousan was also captured alive. In the two battles, the casualties of the Xuebing Corps were only single digits—you don’t know Shi Yousan? A veteran of the Northwest Army, but he is vulnerable in front of Commander Ouyang? As an officer and leader of the army, as long as he can kill the enemy on the battlefield, understand the strategy, and be able to command the soldiers, the age and experience of the leader belong to the leader Well!"

Except for Feng Zhian and Qin Dechun who knew about these things, the others here didn't know. Hearing what Song Zheyuan said, everyone looked at Ouyang Yun's eyes and changed—there were more than 200 people, single-digit casualties, and more than 400 devils were wiped out. , Capture Shi Yousan alive, they can't guarantee that they can make it like this, this "anti-Japanese double hero" is really well-deserved!
Zhang Weifan sighed, leaned on the chair and said, "Young people are awesome!" Turning to Song Zheyuan, he said, "Congratulations to the military seat, my 29th Army has won another strong general!"

After he said this, it was difficult for others to say anything more, so Ouyang Yun's appointment was settled without any surprise.

After a while, Song Zheyuan said: "Brothers, when we were reorganized by Shaoshuai Zhang, did you ever think that our 29th Army would have such a day?!"

The moment when the 29th Army first became an army was undoubtedly the most difficult period for the army. Thinking of the embarrassment at that time, and thinking about the current scenery, everyone couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zizhong said: "Yes! Since Zhang followed Feng Gong on the road of revolution, he has experienced more than a hundred battles, big and small, but the time in Shanxi was the most useless. Unexpectedly, we also have the scenery we have today-now We have Yicha, more than [-] soldiers, and finally no longer need to rely on others to live on their breath."

All the generals expressed their opinions one after another, and the atmosphere in the conference room became unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Song Zheyuan seemed to be in a good mood. After almost everyone had spoken, he waved his hands and said, "Everyone seems to be very optimistic about the future, but I want to remind you that at present our army is only in the name of being stationed in Hebei. There is still a lot of work to be done in Hebei to truly become our army's source of troops and pay ground. After the national government withdrew from the whole of Hebei, the government departments in many places were left with nothing but empty shelves, which required a lot of manpower to make up for it——In addition, Have you noticed, at present our army has mastered the two places of Yicha in name, but in fact it is only most of them—please look at the map—”

Guo Biao pulled back the curtain behind Song Zheyuan, and a brand new map of North China was presented to everyone.Song Zheyuan took the map and began to explain the current situation in North China point by point.

"Everyone, please see that Chadong and Yidong are now nominally in the demilitarized zone. However, the Japanese have planes and can carry out air strikes. In addition, their army is highly mechanized, and the railway and road transportation in these areas is well developed. In the event of a war, I'm sure that they only need a day or so to cross these areas and launch a direct attack on the areas we control-so this demilitarized zone is actually aimed at our 29th Army..."

The map is a very intuitive thing, even if Song Zheyuan didn't explain it, everyone present can see that although the 29th Army now controls a large area, if it fights with the little devil, it will be a situation where it will be attacked from three sides—— The navy in the direction of Tianjin, and the army in the east of Reheyi and Chadong, and their retreat seems to be Shanxi and Shandong, but Shandong is close to the sea, and it is Han Fuqu's territory. But the site is very tight; cross the border Shanxi? The 29th Army came from Shanxi, and they all know the behavior of this old man Yan Xishan, and the terrible thing is, once Yicha is lost, where can the 29th Army go?

From this point of view, the 29th Army is currently like an orphan hanging outside the market, a bit like fighting alone. Then, how to preserve its own strength in this situation, as far as possible, is quite debatable.
