Chapter 5 Decisions

In the cave, Li Guangda held the training outline written by Ouyang Jian, read it carefully, and looked very attentive. Ouyang Jian recuperated his wounded head and was not idle. Although there are only more than 40 subordinates, these people have fought hard from brutal battles and have experienced the test of life and death. In terms of bravery, they are not afraid of death, they are all good. However, in terms of commanding combat skills and military qualities, it is absolutely impossible to rely on bravery alone and not be afraid of death. Ouyang Jian knew very well in his heart that in the future, the commanders of the Red Army would take the lead in the charge, so the death rate was very high, and the combat effectiveness of a unit was not only the quality of the soldiers, but also the quality of the officers. Bravery, not afraid of death, the spirit is commendable, but it is not desirable.

Since ancient times, he has killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 of himself, how to avoid this phenomenon in the future, Ouyang Jian must transform this army, and then build a modern regular army. Ouyang Jian referred to the training syllabus of later generations, adapted to the current training methods, and carefully refined a training manual that took into account the characteristics of all parties. This training manual should have modern features, but not too advanced, and some of the essence of things will be slowly improved. In short, there is innovation and does not deviate from the track of this period, so Ouyang Jian thought hard and it took 10 days to complete this training manual.

After reading the training manual, Li Guangda's face turned red and he said excitedly: "Battalion commander, is this the training outline of the Soviet army, I didn't expect it to be so thorough." If our troops were up to 60 percent of the training manual, I would swear they would be an invincible iron force. "You and I have experienced the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising, and the brutal battles have made us mature. Now it is the low ebb of the revolution, we are even weaker, so it is necessary to improve the military quality. At present, it is simply not possible for us to rely on the spirit of courage and not fear death. Although the enemy forces are inferior to us in terms of bravery, their weapons and logistical supplies are far superior to ours, and you must be aware of how strong our enemies will be in the future. ”

Ouyang Jian changed the topic and continued: "Have you heard of the Japanese army?" "I've heard it's very tough!" "Japan has always coveted China, and they will launch a war of aggression against China at any time. Maybe one day we will have to fight against Japan, and political factors aside, as soldiers, we may have to face a more powerful enemy. Li Guangda's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was a little surprised. Ouyang Jian smiled: "I'm taking precautions. In short, as firm believers, we need to look to the present as well as to the future. The destiny of the motherland, which we are determined to change, must all the more be far-sighted and discerning in strategic vision. ”

Li Guangda was even more surprised and said: "Battalion commander, you have really changed, which impresses me." Ouyang Jian smiled: "I've been thinking a lot recently, and a lot of ideas have come out of it. Even if we are in a difficult situation, we must establish unswerving lofty ideals and confidence in victory, because we are great believers. Li Guangda said with a serious expression: "Battalion commander, you have given me confidence, yes, we are firm believers." In the next step, I will start military training according to the training syllabus. Ouyang Jian nodded and said, "Brother Li, please." But there is another urgent matter, and that is to let soldiers learn culture. An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army will not achieve final victory. In the next step, I plan to let Yu Fang and Lu Wenting be instructors to teach soldiers literacy. ”

"Report! Company Commander Zhang is back! A soldier came in to report. With the voice of Zhang Shiying walking in, in just 10 days, he became black and lackluster. "Battalion commander, the uprising has failed, and the troops have been scattered and do not know where to go. Everywhere there are enemy troops, everywhere we are capturing our comrades. Zhang Shiying was a little depressed. Ouyang Jian didn't say anything, and asked Zhang Shiying to go down to rest. Tan Song also came back that night with a tired face, and there was no doubt that he had nothing to gain.

Reality is ruthless, and Ouyang Jian is ready for a showdown. After more than ten days of recuperation, Ouyang Jian recovered quickly, and the wound had healed and he could walk on the ground. Several backbones were recruited again, and Ouyang Jian looked around the crowd solemnly: "Comrades, the Nanchang Uprising failed, but he ignited a spark, I believe that the spark will definitely form a prairie fire, and we, as firm believers, must build confidence." At the moment we have lost contact with our superiors, but we cannot afford to do nothing. I decided to establish a secret base in the Luoxiao Mountains. ”

"Comrade Ouyang Jian, the economy of Luoxiao Mountain is backward, the people are strong, the mass foundation is not good, and bandits are rampant. How to establish a secret base area to develop and grow, even if we pull up the troops, soldiers, food, how to solve it, I think it is unrealistic to establish a base here! Tan Song objected. Ouyang Jian said with a smile: "What Comrade Tan Song said is reasonable, and what he said is the truth. Right now, there is white terror outside, if we play the banner and pull it out to do it vigorously, wouldn't it be hearty. But when the gun strikes the first bird, the enemy will pounce on us from all directions, and in the face of a strong enemy, we have no choice but to flee. ”

"The ancients said: Taoguang is obscure, and if it doesn't sound, it has become a blockbuster. We must wait for the opportunity to grow ourselves slowly, and now is the only way out. "But..." Tan Song wanted to distinguish Ouyang Jian and waved his hand and continued: "The conditions here are not good, we can create conditions, how can a living person suffocate urine to death." First of all, we set up a secret detachment, and in order to strengthen the party's leadership, we set up political commissars in the secret detachment. I was the captain of the secret detachment and concurrently served as the political commissar, and Comrade Tan Song was the organization committee member of the unit. Comrade Li Guangda served as deputy captain and military training instructor. I decided to form two squads, with Zhang Shiying as the leader of the 1st squad and Xiao Feng as the leader of the 2nd squad. ”

Tan Song wanted to say something, but when he saw that everyone else had no opinion, he reluctantly agreed. Gao Guoying and Hao Tianzhu were a little depressed, and Ouyang Jian smiled: "As the saying goes: soldiers and horses go first before grain and grass are moved. Comrade Gao Guoying, I am ready to let you go into business, and the logistics support of the troops in the future will depend on you. "Are you going to let me go to Changsha?" "Changsha is not an ideal place to do business, and I am ready to let you go to Wuhan. Wuhan has been an important commercial town since ancient times, with waterways and land extending in all directions. Makubu Mountain is not far from Jiujiang, and we can use Jiujiang to build a secret waterway communication line. ”

"In Fengyun Town, we have seized two thousand silver dollars, and we will give you fifteen hundred. As for what to do and what to buy and sell for yourself, I believe in your ability. "Don't worry, I'll do my best." "Do you have any family?" "I have a family, my wife and children are in Jingdezhen, I don't know what happened to them." "Take them to Wuhan together, and only when your wife and children are by your side do you look like a businessman." "Comrade Hao Tianzhu!" "Here!" "I have given you an important task, and you will go to Wuhan with Comrade Gao Guoying. Your mission is to protect the security of Ko Kwok Ying and the safety of trading. You can develop people, but you can't reveal your identity. "Rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

After sending Gao Guoying and Hao Tianzhu away the next day, Ouyang Jian observed that Tan Song was a little sullen. It seems that his monopoly on power makes him unhappy. It stands to reason that Tan Song should be the political commissar, and his qualifications are fully competent, but Ouyang Jian knows in his heart that in this extraordinary period, the military and politics can avoid unnecessary trouble. Ouyang Jian said sincerely: "Comrade Tan Song, let's talk!" I know you have an idea, and it stands to reason that the commissar is none other than you. But have you thought about it, in the future, when we get in touch with the higher-level party organization, we will definitely send a representative. I believe that we will be able to get in touch with the higher-level party organizations, and we must develop and grow under the leadership of the party, which means that you and I are not qualified to serve as this political commissar. Tan Song heard this and agreed.

Ouyang Jian said earnestly: "This is an extraordinary time, and it is the primary task to put aside personal selfishness and gain a foothold here and slowly grow our strength. "Comrade Ouyang Jian, your sincerity has made me suddenly enlightened, and my consciousness is ashamed. Rest assured, I will do my best under your leadership in the future. Ouyang Jian shook Tan Song's hand and continued: "You have rich underground work experience and organizational experience, I am ready to expand the team, this task belongs to you." In addition, I want to establish a secret intelligence network, and we must keep abreast of the situation outside at all times, and this task is none other than you. ”

"Comrade Ouyang Jian, please rest assured that I will do my duty." "Are there any of our people in Fengyun Town?" "There is another person who has not been exposed, he is a guy from the Gathering House Restaurant." "Tell him not to reveal his identity. In addition, he was asked to regularly transmit information about Fengyun Town, and also collected newspapers from all over the world to deliver them in time. Newspapers can keep up to date with external news. ”

Looking at Tan Song's departing back, Ouyang Jian fell into deep thought. He knew in his heart that the road ahead would be very difficult, and he might have to face the test of storms, but for the sake of great faith, what was personal honor and disgrace, and at this moment Ouyang Jian was even more determined in his mind.

The sound of running in the distance caught his attention, and he saw Li Guangda, Zhang Shiying, and Xiao Feng leading the soldiers to walk 5 kilometers in a cross-country manner according to the training content. Each of them carried a cloth bag with stones in it. The stones were weighed in advance, and each person carried 20 pounds. According to the training manual written by Ouyang Jian, an hour of parade drills should be conducted every day to cultivate the discipline of soldiers. Aiming training takes place for an hour, followed by a 5-kilometer cross-country rush. Afternoons are spent on cultural learning.

The soldiers themselves have received military training and are quick to adapt to new training methods. There's no fixed place at the moment, so a lot of training is just beginner. "Brother Ouyang, look how heavy they are carrying stones, why are they carrying stones?" Ouyang Jian took a look at it, and Lu Wenting appeared in front of him. "It's weight training, the purpose is to build their stamina. Yu Fangna? "I didn't see the farts worm, Ouyang Jian was a little surprised." He's teaching this afternoon, and he's reviewing his homework! Brother Ouyang, it's a sin to let them learn culture, and they sleep every day. ”

Ouyang Jian smiled: "This is easy to do, I authorize you to only eat half full at night if anyone sleeps again or fails to meet the requirements." "Will they listen to me, let Vice Captain Li convey my orders." "Great, this trick works." The woman in front of her is delicate and unpretentious, beautiful and not charming, highlighting the virtue and beauty of women in this era, and has the taste of small jasper. Lu Wenting saw Ouyang Jian looking at her with a smile and didn't know what to say, her face suddenly turned red and hurriedly ran away. Ouyang Jian could see the girl's thoughts, and his heart was a little trance-like. But tell yourself that you must not be swayed by emotions at this time.

"Captain Ouyang, your body is much better, today our two masters are lucky, we beat 4 pheasants and 7 hares, and I will make up for your body." Hao Lei's voice came from behind him, and I saw the two of them coming out of the woods and shouting loudly. "Brother Hao, everyone has meat to eat during this time, thank you for your hard work." "Captain Ouyang's words are outside, you are people who do great things, although you don't say it, I can see it. It's also a blessing for me to be able to do something for everyone. Your health is much better, it just so happens that I have a jar for a long time, and our brothers are happy. They were rescued from the Dharma field by you, and they are grateful for this. ”

In the evening, Ouyang Jian came to the stone house. Since coming here, Ouyang Jian has entered the stone house for the second time, although the room is shabby but very clean, it can be seen that Wen Ting is a diligent and neat girl. The smell of wine wafted from the stove, and the dishes and chopsticks were already placed in the center of the room, and a black jar was placed on the table, and the smell of wine wafted from it. Wen Ting placed a few mountain vegetables on the table, and then brought a pot of steaming pheasant stewed rabbit meat. Hao Lei left a pheasant and rabbit, and sent the rest to the cave, where everyone could have a tooth sacrifice tonight.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Hao Lei opened the conversation box and said: "Captain Ouyang, my niece has told me a lot of your things during this time, in short, you are thinking about the poor. Although Hao doesn't understand, he admires you. I'm in my 40s and still have a lot of strength. Today, I was ashamed to say it in front of my niece, and asked Captain Ouyang for permission to take us in. Lu Wenting hurriedly refilled Ouyang Jian's bowl with wine and said, "Captain, uncle and cousin are interested in joining our team!" "Brother Hao, on behalf of the secret detachment, I welcome you, it should be said that you can't ask for it!"

Hao Lei and his son were overjoyed when they heard this, and couldn't help but drink all the wine in the bowl. Lu Wenting looked at Ouyang Jian's angular and handsome face, and her heart was pounding again, and her face turned crimson.
