Ouyang Jian's order to find his wife went very smoothly to be exact. Not to mention that these generals have prominent statuses, the key is that they are all in the prime of life, so they naturally belong to the rare type. When the girls in the field hospital heard the news, they formed an atmosphere of chasing back, and in less than half a month, all the generals returned with beautiful women. On the morning of September 18, Guo Mei walked into the regiment headquarters dressed up beautifully and beamingly. Ouyang Jian knew that he had promised Guo Mei's conditions, so he naturally couldn't break his promise. Guo Mei proposed to go to a picnic dinner and said that everything was ready.

The two of them went out of the city and went straight to the mountains on the west side, in fact, Ouyang Jian's mood was heavy when he got up in the morning, but his face and expression could not be revealed. He knew in his heart what day it should be, the great rivers and mountains of the three eastern provinces would be full of rumors and corpses, and they would fall under the coercion of the Japanese, and 30 million compatriots would become slaves of the country. But he could not say these words to anyone, but could only bear them silently by himself. The two of them crawled up the hill one after the other, and unknown wildflowers dotted the greenery, and the stars were particularly dazzling. Seeing Guo Mei's elated appearance, Ouyang Jian felt deeply guilty, and couldn't help but collect a wildflower and insert it on Guo Mei's sideburns.

Guo Mei's face was a little red and said shyly: "Ouyang, am I beautiful?" "Pretty!" "Am I like a bride?" Ouyang Jian nodded and strode forward. Guo Mei felt dizzy, she knew in her heart that Ouyang Jian was still thinking about Lu Wenting. Such a single-minded man makes Guo Mei even more affectionate and unable to extricate herself. She didn't know what she was expecting, or if she had little hope, but in this life her fate was closely linked to this man and could not be separated.

On the top of the mountain, Ouyang Jian looked at his hometown in the north and thought of his "relatives", although their relatives were so vague, they were relatives after all in this era. The rivers and mountains will be broken, and the mission on their shoulders will be even more arduous. The 918 incident, the news cannot come immediately, Ouyang Jian estimates that the news from the dark arrow will take 3 days at the earliest. This kind of heart-wrenching change, there is no one to confide in, at this moment, Ouyang Jian's mood is very low.

Looking back, seeing that Guo Mei's face was slightly red and still busy, Ouyang Jian felt a trace of guilt again. After a few years of getting along, it is impossible to say that Ouyang Jian has no feelings for Guo Mei, and an infatuated girl is enough to move him. But whenever he is alone with Guo Mei, he thinks of Lu Wenting, and this entanglement often makes him in a dilemma.

Guo Mei spread a white cloth on the ground and silently arranged the food she brought. Guo Mei knew what Ouyang Jian was thinking, so she gently walked behind her and stretched out her hand to wrap around Ouyang Jian's waist, and then gently leaned her head on her back, enjoying the unique aura of a man. They stood silent for a long time, as if time had stopped. Time is slowly passing, they talk about the future and ideals, and when the sun puts away the last afterglow, they are reluctant to go down the mountain. The two of them are like a couple, which seems so natural.

Sure enough, three days later, the news of the 918 incident came from Shanghai, and of course the details were completely operated by Ouyang Jian's invisible hands. On September 22, Zhou Enlai and Mao Zetan hurried back from other places, and soon a high-level military conference was held, and only Zhou Enlai, Ouyang Jian, Mao Zetan, Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, He Long, Xiao Ke, Guan Xiangying, Zhao Bosheng, etc. "Comrades, just as Commander Ouyang judged, the Japanese army can't wait to make a move in the northeast, and at present, the Central Committee, the Jiujiang Base Area, the Headquarters of the Red First Army, and the Headquarters of the Red 4th Front Army have all obtained the same news."

Zhou Enlai continued: "Our dark arrow intelligence system is very efficient, and we have obtained detailed information on the Northeast Incident, so I would like to ask Commander Ouyang to introduce the situation." Ouyang Jian stood up and said with a serious expression: "Comrades, Japanese militarism has finally revealed its aggressive nature. According to the information sent back by the dark arrow, on the night of September 18, the Japanese independent garrison suddenly launched an attack on Beidaying, and the defenders put up stubborn resistance. Because Zhang Xueliang issued an order in Beiping not to resist, the defenders of Beidaying were defeated without reinforcements. ”

"At the same time as the Japanese independent garrison regiment attacked Beidaying, the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army launched an attack on Mukden. The next day, that is, on the morning of the 19th, the Japanese army successively captured Mukden, Yingkou, Fenghuangcheng, Siping, including 18 towns along the Andong and Manchurian Railway and the Anbong Railway. So far, the Japanese Kwantung Army has captured Changchun and occupied Jilin. This was a completely premeditated military operation by the Japanese army, and the capture of so many towns and cities in such a short period of time was by no means an accident. ”

Ouyang Jian continued: "The Northeast army is empty, the main force of the Northeast Army is in the pass, and Zhang Xueliang has issued an order not to resist, so I judge that the three eastern provinces will fall in less than half a year." "Will Chiang Kai-shek let it go?" Enlai asked in surprise: "Under the current situation, we are still Lao Jiang's henchmen, and I judge that the order not to resist was also issued by him, and Zhang Xueliang will not have any great courage." I estimate that Lao Chiang must have hoped that the League of Nations would mediate and continue to pursue the strategy of securing the outside world and securing the interior. But if the Japanese army dares to attack, it will not care about the League of Nations. The Japanese army quickly took the three eastern provinces, and it was a fait accompli that the following strong will also be peaceful. ”

Enlai asked: "Commander Ouyang, what kind of attitude do you judge Soviet Russia will have?" Ouyang Jian sneered: "The interests of the country and the nation are supreme. In view of the fact that Soviet Russia has severed diplomatic relations with the Nationalist Government, I judge that Soviet Russia will adopt an attitude of non-interference, and even that Soviet Russia, considering its own security, will definitely sign a non-aggression pact with Japan. "Isn't this a fight with a tiger, and the great Soviet Russia is actually afraid of little Japan?" Chen Yi was indignant, and Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan also expressed dissatisfaction.

Zhou Enlai was silent, and Ouyang Jian said: "Therefore, I said that pinning my hopes on others is a castle in the air, and everything is a floating cloud." Secretary Zhou, when did Soviet Russia openly support us in the international community, to put it bluntly, the Comintern was completely under the control of the Soviet Russian government, and we were too naïve. I believe that China's destiny must be firmly in our own hands and follow the revolutionary road of self-reliance and independence. Enlai nodded and said, "With the national crisis at hand, I wonder if your medium-term strategy can still be realized?" ”

"I judge that after the Japanese army captures the three eastern provinces, it will not immediately launch an attack on the hinterland of the Central Plains. The interests of the European and American powers were involved, and Japan was not prepared for it. There is no doubt that the three eastern provinces, which are rich in natural resources, have been occupied by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not only obtain a piece of treasure land, but will also be strengthened by the tiger, and after a few years of operation, it will definitely use the three eastern provinces as a springboard to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. Since Lao Jiang regards us as a serious danger to his henchmen, once he recovers, he will definitely launch a new encirclement and suppression. Therefore, I believe that now is the right time to implement the medium-term strategy. ”

"But our medium-term strategy needs to be significantly adjusted, and my idea is to quickly capture Jiangxi and Fujian provinces and establish a solid base area. Then, on this basis, negotiate with the Nationalist Government to stop the civil war, unite with the outside world, and fight an all-out war. "Do you think Lao Chiang can negotiate with us?" Zhou Enlai asked. "It depends on whether we can hurt him militarily, and Lao Jiang will definitely be at the negotiating table if he is trapped internally and externally." Enlai was thoughtful, and his eyes became sharp.

"Secretary Zhou, I have an idea, in order to make the division famous, we will issue a declaration to stop the civil war and unite to resist Japan. But the condition was that the Kuomintang army troops must withdraw from Jiangxi. I don't think Lao Jiang will agree, which creates conditions for us to plot Jiangxi and Fujian in the next step. "Captain Ouyang, your analysis is very convincing, but it is difficult to reach a consensus." I know you're worried about the interference of the Comintern, I'll sing with a black face, I'll charge into battle! Enlai seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Send a report to the Central Committee immediately!" ”

At the official residence of Lao Jiang in Nanjing, a guard officer hurriedly came in and said: "The military commander has received information from the Communist Party, please take a look." Lao Jiang, who was already depressed, hurriedly took the telegram and checked: "The intelligence force of the Communist Party is too terrible, the process of the Northeast Incident is so clear, and our intelligence is deaf and blind, and they are all a bunch of rice buckets!" "The guard officer saw that Lao Jiang was angry, his expression was uneasy, and he didn't dare to come out." Start the propaganda machine immediately, the Japanese are not terrible, and our allies will not let the Japanese come to their senses. ”

Lao Jiang walked a few steps on the ground and said: "The Communist Party is our biggest hidden danger, and the strategy of fighting external security and internal security cannot be changed, and the Communist Party must be eradicated." At this time, a staff member hurriedly walked in and said: "Commander-in-chief, the Communist Party has issued an anti-Japanese declaration!" Lao Jiang took the telegram in surprise and checked it, and immediately tore the telegram to shreds and roared: "How can this be reasonable, it is simply whimsical, and it is simply wishful thinking to let us hand over the whole of Jiangxi to them." You go and arrange it immediately, I will immediately summon the ambassadors of Europe and the United States! ”

In the evening, Lao Chiang dragged his tired body back to the official residence, and the European and American ambassadors promised to mediate and restrain Japan, which made Lao Chiang's gloomy mood feel a little better. Walking into the living room, Mrs. Song Meiling was already preparing dinner. Lao Jiang had no appetite and said: "Daling, the situation is not so bad that it is out of control, you have to take care of your body, the burden of the Republic of China is on your shoulders, you can't fall!" From his wife's concern, Lao Jiang picked up chopsticks with a warm current in his heart.

Lao Jiang knew in his heart that if the Communist Party did not achieve its goal, it would definitely launch a new offensive in Jiangxi, and the next defensive operation would be the most important thing. This change is too fast, offense turns into defense, God knows what the next outcome will be, Jiangxi's defeat gave him a sense of powerlessness. The German military advisory group formulated a new encirclement and suppression plan, called fortress tactics, but it took time to implement fortress tactics, and how to get through this difficult time, Lao Chiang began to rack his brains.

At the end of September, under the auspices of Zhou Enlai, a grand collective wedding was held in the Jiujiang base area. Such a fresh group wedding shook Jiujiang County. Zhou Enlai's style of presiding over the wedding is unique, and the atmosphere of the wedding scene is full of fun. Ouyang Jian delivered an enthusiastic speech, which made the wedding atmosphere more warm, and Yunshui County was like a festival that day, and the people were full of joy. Three days after the wedding, Zhou Enlai, Ouyang Jian, and Chen Yi prepared to go to the central base.

On this day, outside the south gate of Yunshui County, Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, He Long' Xiao Ke and other people saw off the crowd enthusiastically. Since the special combat team was responsible for escorting the task, his newlywed wife Li Jing seemed to be reluctant to give something, and Mu Shixiong couldn't help but nod. Chen Yi's wife Zhang Qian seemed to have a trace of sadness, and her eyes were red. Guo Mei stood beside Ouyang Jian and took the trouble to tell what to pay attention to in daily life. Soon the group hit the road, and the sturdy special combat team rode away on a high-headed horse, and the people who saw them off were still watching and couldn't bear to leave.
