Chapter 31 Secret Consolidation

Early the next morning, everyone was looking forward to the waste brick kiln outside the city, and Ouyang Jian said with a stern face: "Comrades, the military department has sent us three comrades, everyone is welcome." "Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqiang stood up and saluted everyone." Everyone welcomed with warm applause.

"Today, except for Zhang Shiying's 3rd detachment, all detachments, including officers above the company level, are here. After planned and step-by-step training, we initially met the conditions for reorganization. According to the order of the military department: it is proposed that the secret detachment be formed into 6 battalions, and the commander of the 1st battalion, Xiao Ke! "Shook stood up and appeared." The 2nd Battalion Commander Xiao Feng and the 3rd Battalion Commander Zhang Shiying. The 4th Battalion Commander Su Yu, the 5th Battalion Commander Luo Ronghuan, and the 6th Battalion Commander Song Renqiang. After everyone appeared separately, Ouyang Jian announced the appointment of each company commander. As for the platoon commanders and squad leaders, each battalion appoints itself.

Ouyang Jian looked around at everyone and continued: "Now I announce another appointment, the formation of a secret detachment military school, with Comrade Li Guangda concurrently serving as the principal of the military school. In the future, Tongluo Village and Meiling will be the secret training bases of military schools. As the commander of the secret detachment, I have issued a decision that all recruits will be trained in military schools for three months in the future, otherwise they will not be allowed to go to the battlefield. We must think not only about the lives of our soldiers, but also about wartime. It is not enough for a troop to be brave and unafraid of sacrifice only by relying on its combat effectiveness, and only with strict military discipline, skilled techniques and tactics, and military quality can it form a powerful combat force and be invincible. Only under the leadership of the party can such an iron army be invincible. ”

"In addition, according to the proposal of the military department, the secret detachment will not have a chief of staff for the time being. In the future, the candidates for chief of staff will be selected among the six of you, and they will be evaluated according to your military exploits, and there is hope for everyone. In addition, with our development, the army will continue to expand. You are the battalion commander today, and you may be the regiment commander tomorrow. The harsh reality forces you to shoulder a greater responsibility. ”

When everyone heard this, they were excited, and they all geared up, and blood surged on their young faces. Ouyang Jian continued: "I'll make a preliminary analysis of the situation, the purpose is to let you have a preliminary understanding and establish a concept of the overall situation. After the success of the Kuomintang's Second Northern Expedition, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was barely united, would have contradictions due to the uneven distribution of spoils. The Nanking Military Council's large-scale disarmament was Chiang Kai-shek's attempt to weaken the military strength of the warlords. This is a very stupid move. What is the army? It is the regime and the capital. Although the Red Fourth Army entered a difficult period, the delay of the Central Army in entering Jiangxi is proof of this. ”

"Let's think about it, how can the Central Army, the Northwest Army, the Jin Army, and the Gui Army be disarmed? Soon Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren would find out Lao Jiang's intentions. Therefore, their contradictions are bound to erupt. Comrades, at the moment we are very weak, so to speak, trying to survive in the cracks. Therefore, we must seize this favorable opportunity to grow and develop, and when the time is right, we will come out of the mountains. What I mean by this is to tell everyone not to rush, to wait for an opportunity, and I firmly believe that the opportunity will come. If the warlords only fight each other, why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? There was a laugh from below.

"Comrades, I believe that the military department will also see this, how to take advantage of the contradictions of the enemy, fight one or two victories, and the situation will be reversed. Maybe in less than a year, the situation will change, time is too precious for us. At present, the total strength of our secret detachment is about 800 people, so don't worry, a spark can start a prairie fire, and we must first build the core of the troops, that is, establish the officer system. I plan to have 3,000 troops in one year, and I can rest assured that I will do what I say. Next, the battalion commanders left the meeting. ”

Ouyang Jian briefly discussed with Mao Zetan and Li Guangda for a while, Li Guangda said goodbye and turned back to Tongluo Village, Mao Zetan said: "During this time, I will focus on the military training of the troops, and Captain Ouyang will conduct intensive training for you, don't miss this opportunity!" Several people were excited when they heard this. That night, Ouyang Jian locked himself in the house to prepare teaching materials, and there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw Li Shuxian standing outside the door. "Commander, the political commissar of your situation told me, and I blamed you." Lai's face was a little red. Ouyang Jian let Li Shuxian into the house and said, "I know that Miss Lu likes me, and I also like Miss Lu a lot." But it's just like, to be exact, it's a revolutionary friendship between us, that's all, rest assured that I'm not going to go beyond the thunder pool. ”

"But does Lu Wenting know about this situation?" "I don't know, but I'll tell her when the time is right. At the moment she is fighting in the heart of the enemy, and I can't bother her, otherwise there will be an accident. "I see, now that my training class is eyebrow-looking, I can take charge of it on my own. My dad got two more radio stations, but he couldn't do it without training in reporting! Ouyang Jian said: "In this way, I will let Mu Shixiong protect you and pull you to the field for reporting training, which will quickly improve your reporting level." ”

After Li Shuxian left, Ouyang Jian's thoughts were disturbed, and Lu Wenting's shadow appeared in his mind. Fang Cai's own words were duplicitous, and he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart.

Ouyang Jian is a normal man, as the first woman a man who came to this era to meet, it was Lu Wenting. Maybe it's providence, a woman who can't be separated from in life. And the woman in the photo, whether it is his wife or not, seems to have nothing to do with him. Although the woman in the photo is modern, foreign, and beautiful, she doesn't feel it at all. However, the ruthless reality wants to force him to accept this woman, and even the "common" children, thinking of this, Ouyang Jian's heart is very twisted, and he even thinks that he is invisibly wearing a green hat.

Ouyang Jian was a little irritable, stood up and walked to the basin and put his head into the water, holding it for a while and feeling a lot more comfortable. Water trickled down his cheeks and drenched his clothes, and his thoughts became clear. I walked to the table, picked up the pen, thought a little, and began to write hard, forgetting all my worries. The kerosene lamp glowed dimly, and the shadow on one side of the wall was very striking. The pony sleeping soundly on the bed against the wall, and the other bed opposite was empty, and Tao Zhu was not in the house with great energy.

In the other room, Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqiang pestered Tao Zhu. Yesterday they were excited to see Ouyang Jian, and today they were shocked in the broken brick kiln. It can be said that several people in the Red Fourth Army have never heard such an incisive analysis of the situation. In particular, Ouyang Jian's careful deployment and self-confidence deeply infected them, and it can be said that Ouyang Jian's image has become tall in an extreme period of time. "Brother, you talk about it for a while, we all want to hear about Captain Ouyang!" Su Yu's eyes lit up and he continued to entangle. "No, it's too late today, I'll go back. If you want to hear it tomorrow, you will speak again. ”

Tao Zhu disappeared immediately after speaking. "It seems that Captain Ouyang has learned the lesson of the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, and he wants to explore a new way. I didn't expect that in more than a year, he not only gained a foothold in Yunshui County, but also established a secret base area, which is not something that ordinary people can do. He was not only intellectual, but also firm in his faith, both of which were indispensable. "After all, Luo Ronghuan is a few years older and has a thorough analysis." Captain Ouyang is the elite of the Whampoa Military Academy, and his military strategy in Yunshui County is a classic, and I am eager to know his military concept. Su Yu was blunt.

It is not difficult to judge the difference between the two through their conversations, Luo Ronghuan has a strong political color, and Su Yu has a preference for military affairs. Obviously, one is a politician and the other is a military general, and their personalities are distinct. "If you want me to say follow Captain Ouyang, we are so lucky, let's charge into battle!" As the saying goes, look at the big from the bottom, and look at the old at the age of three. Although this statement is a bit biased, it cannot be said that it is not unreasonable, and it is obvious that Song Renqiao is shorter than the two of them, or that he is born with a lack of qualifications.

The three of them had a strong interest in Ouyang Jian, and the comments they heard in Xiao Ke's mouth in the future deepened their belief in Ouyang Jian. After breakfast the next day, Mao Zetan led the troops to train, and Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, Song Renqiang, Xiao Ke, and Xiao Feng walked into Ouyang Jian's room. The room was newly decorated, and three maps appeared on the front wall, one map of the whole country, one map of Jiangxi, and one map of Jiujiang region. There was also a blackboard on the table, and in one corner lay chalk and a dark blue notebook.

There were five low stools on the ground in front of the table, and several people knew that they were seated one after another. The guards, Pony and Tao Zhu, stood outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching and eavesdropping. Soon, Ouyang Jian came out of the inner room. "Stand up!" Xiao Feng was assigned as the duty officer and played the role of a small squad leader. The five people stood up and raised their hands in salute, Ouyang Jian didn't wear a military hat, just nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down. Ouyang Jian's face was grim, and he picked up his notebook and said, "Before the lecture, I said some digressions. ”

"Here are the core of the future secret detachment, which means that several of you are senior officers of the secret detachment. You command a battalion today, a regiment next year, or a division in a few years, so as a commander, you should know the minimum of military knowledge. Everyone including me is very young and we are all inexperienced. However, young people have the advantage of being young, that is, they dare to think and dare to do not be pedantic, and the courage to innovate is the characteristic of young people. I'm a few years older than you, and I'm a little more experienced, and if there's something wrong with what I'm saying, you can speak up, and I'd like to see the opposing opinions. Okay, let's get down to business. ”

Ouyang Jian opened the notebook, glanced at it, closed it, and then walked to the blackboard, picked up the chalk and wrote - guerrilla warfare. "Ladies and gentlemen, you must be familiar with the word guerrilla warfare. As the name suggests, it is to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy. Tell me about the tactics of guerrilla warfare. "Everyone is gossiping, some talk about sneak attacks, some talk about dragging the enemy down and the enemy playing hide and seek." What you said is very correct, but it is not comprehensive, let me sum up: guerrilla warfare is a powerful weapon for the weak to deal with the powerful, swimming is wandering, and striking is a strike. ”

"Guerrilla warfare can be covered as: taking attack as the main means of warfare, with a high degree of mobility, flexibility, initiative, offense, and quick decision." "Captain Ouyang, the guerrilla warfare you mentioned is similar to what Zhu De and Commissar Mao advocated that the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue." Luo Ronghuan spoke. "That's right, that's exactly what I'm going to focus on below. The 16-character formula advocated by CPPCC National Committee members Zhu De and Mao expounded the principles of guerrilla warfare in a simple and concise manner. The military doctrine of the two is a powerful weapon to stand on the weak side and defeat a strong enemy. ”

The 16-character guerrilla warfare method advocated by CPPCC National Committee members Zhu De and Mao has been tested in practice in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in Jinggangshan. Victory says it all, that is, let the facts speak for themselves, and practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. "Captain Ouyang, what you said is so good, let the practice test be more convincing than any dogma!" Su Yu praised loudly, and everyone agreed. "I heard that Runzhi has a lot of knowledge about history, especially the military thinking of the ancients. As a matter of fact, guerrilla warfare was widely used in military confrontations in ancient times, and Runzhi is a clever and in-depth summary of the essence of the loose guerrilla warfare theory, which shows that Runzhi's military thinking is extraordinary. I can be sure that the 16-character formula is the most basic military theory guiding the Red Army's operations at present and in the next few years. ”

Ouyang Jian was obviously a little excited. "Including me, everyone must deeply understand the 16-word formula and must understand its essence. In fact, another essence of guerrilla warfare is also to demonstrate the military theory of the ancients: if you save land, you will lose people, and you will lose both people and land. If people lose land, people and land will survive. In a word, it is to save yourself and destroy the enemy, and you don't care about the gains and losses of one city or one place. Let me now explain my new views on guerrilla warfare in 16 words. I believe that guerrilla warfare can adopt guerrilla warfare modes adapted to local conditions, such as sabotage warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare, tunnel warfare, ambush warfare, and siege warfare, according to different periods and different characteristics. ”

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this, "Captain Ouyang, what is the sabotage battle?" Song Renqiao was confused and asked urgently. This is the assignment I left for you today, and you can discuss it extensively together, remembering that tomorrow I will listen to your respective opinions. Class! Everyone closed their notebooks, and Ouyang Jian ended the first day of class.
