Chapter 2: War and Politics (18)
The profession of journalist has been known as the uncrowned king since its birth. Especially in China in this era. It can be said that there are two brushes for many who can become journalists. Regarding Li Tieshu's domineering, the male reporters considered it from the perspective of an extraordinary period and could still express their understanding, but the beautiful reporter didn't care about it much, or just because she had never eaten this kind of deflated bar in her limited interview career, so she was extremely uncooperative along the way, and she labeled Li Tieshu a barbaric warlord at the exit.
Lai Qiang was quite friendly to these reporters at first because of Mei Lanshu, but when the beautiful reporters repeatedly spoke disrespectfully to Li Tieshu, he couldn't stand it. stopped at the moment, his face sank, and he glared at the beautiful reporter and said, "What's the matter with you?" Our deputy commander is kind enough to take care of you, and if you don't care about it, how can you repay your kindness? ”
"Kind care? Did his kindness mean that we journalists ignore our sacred mission and leave the front line of reporting? As journalists, it is humiliating for us not to be able to come to the scene to get first-hand news materials! "The beautiful reporter has sharp teeth.
Lai Qiang is not bad, you must know that before Lu Dao joined the army, he was a top student of Tsinghua University, he sneered at each other: "The sacred mission, then it must also have a life to complete, otherwise if you give your life in vain, it can only be said to be stupid." ”
"Who do you say is stupid?! The word stupid is more appropriate to describe a soldier like you who can't read a single word! The beautiful reporter became angry and began to launch a personal attack on Lai Qiang without grace.
The Renqiu reporter on the side couldn't stand it, he had heard a little about Lai Qiang, and said at this time: "Miss Huang, that's enough, Chief Lai was a top student of Tsinghua University before joining the army." You use the word "I don't know a single word" to describe the student army, and you really use it in the wrong place. The student army is a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and if you pull a soldier out, your diploma is not worse than ours. ”
Miss Huang was so angry that she would say the above words without words, but at this time, she reminded her and woke up to the special meaning of the name Xuebingjun - "Doom! There were many words in my throat that I could no longer spit out. Feeling that she was excessive, she secretly glanced at Lai Qiang, and saw that his upright body had an elegant aura, and several soldiers around him all had a different temperament from those bandits, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed.
This episode between the reporters and Lai Qiang, Li Tieshu didn't know what to do, at this time, he was worried about the telegram that Ouyang Yun had just taken.
The Japanese planned riots in Beiping was too poisonous, not to mention what kind of impact Song Zheyuan's death had on the 29th Army, the most important point was that the Xifengkou and other dangerous places that were supposed to be defended by the 29th Army are now in a state of undefense. It was precisely for this reason that when the two Japanese divisions hovering on the border of Rehe and Jicha began to move towards Xifengkou and Zunhua, Ouyang Yun and Zhang Zizhong had to make an urgent response and transferred all the troops that had originally reinforced Wanping to these two key areas.
Xifengkou is too important for Beiping and even Hebei and North China, so although Li Tieshu is very hard to defend in Wanping, Ouyang Yun has no other choice. In order to win in time, in addition to immediately ordering He Zheng's regiment, which was helping the 29th Army to quell the rebellion, to go directly to Xifengkou, he also had to use the two nails that Yu Xuezhong had planted in eastern Hebei and Chadong - two special police columns headed by Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian.
After the Qin-Tu Agreement and the He-Mei Agreement, Chadong and Jidong were nominally demilitarized zones, but in fact they were written separately. Although the nominal supreme governor of Chadong and Jidong is Yin Rugeng, they are actually divided into two camps. Among them, the pro-Japanese elements led by Yin Rugeng formed a puppet government; The "Cloud Party" headed by Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian formed a local government that was pro-student soldiers.
Ouyang Yun's original plan was to wait for the start of the Anti-Japanese War and let Erzhang's troops give the little devil a front and back at a critical time. Now this grim situation forced him to abandon this plan, and directly asked Erzhang to revolt immediately, in order to temporarily attract the attention of the Japanese army and buy a certain amount of time for the Cadet Army to deploy troops. At the same time, it can also create a buffer zone in the sensitive area of Chadong and Jidong.
Once He Zheng's regiment was transferred, the counterinsurgency in Beiping became a problem, and as a result, Ouyang Yun had to let the regiment stranded in Yongqing go to fill this gap. In order to prevent the Japanese army from taking Chadong into his pocket, Zhang Zizhong had no choice but to drive all the troops originally transferred to Beiping to Chadong.
In the telegram, after Ouyang Yun explained these situations to Li Tieshu, he finally asked them to hold out for at least two days. Two days, this was in the past, Li Tieshu was completely confident that he could do it, but now, he sincerely felt powerless. You must know that just this morning, the Tianjin Fox Pupil Group sent information that the infantry brigade of the Japanese garrison in Huabeitun had already driven over. With the strength of one regiment against a brigade of the Japanese army, and to face air strikes at any time, in the absence of danger to defend, can the second regiment really hold for two days?!
"Will the second regiment be able to hold out for two days?" Ren Qiu, in the headquarters of the Cadet Army, Ouyang Yun sat at the head of the conference room, thinking about the same question. To his left and right, Zhang Zhen, Jiang Shuren, Lao Bonn, and Ouyang Stern, the commander of the Jewish Independent Brigade, sat in turn. Except for Ouyang Stern, the expressions on everyone's faces were a little solemn. Everyone looked at Ouyang Yun quietly, waiting for him to give instructions.
The initiator of today's meeting is not Ouyang Yun, but Jiang Shuren. And the reason why he urgently asked for this meeting was because many businessmen and business owners under his rule began to "sit still", and they needed a peaceful environment more than ordinary people. They came to Renqiu to make a fortune, but now, this war of unprecedented scale deliberately provoked by the Japanese appeared in front of them, and they began to worry: if the student army is defeated, let alone get rich, their lives will be difficult to protect. Out of this realistic consideration, the merchant federation frequently asked Jiang Shuren for his life, hoping to get a reliable explanation. And the reason why old Bonn appeared here is naturally from the interests of their Jews - the Jews have now emigrated to Renqiu Nearly a million people, they left their hometown and came to Renqiu, originally to escape the scourge of war, but now, Renqiu has also been shrouded in the clouds of war, what they are not worried about is that the Cadet Army, a big tree that can help them shelter from the wind and rain, can still stand in this wind and rain?
