Xu is emergency assembly at night was too bad, and when he exercised the next morning, including Ouyang Yun, none of the members of the student corps did not have dark circles. Ouyang Yun didn't care at first, when he was a special forces soldier before, he had survived the training ten times more cruel than this, and he was still in good spirits? Xu is the head of the regiment, he never pays much attention to his image, and he has quite high requirements for his current image, so although he obviously feels a little unwell, his face is still very neat. Of course, what he didn't expect was that such a mental strength combined with two dark circles under his eyes would have a somewhat funny effect.

No one noticed these at first, and when everyone was urged by the morning exercise, they all just wanted to scold their mothers, yawning and beating and so on, and they didn't even have time to wash their faces. However, after a few laps, as the sleepiness was washed away by sweat, everyone slowly discovered the abnormality of their comrades-ouch, why didn't I see him for two hours, and this buddy next to him became a giant panda? Finding this, the corners of many people's mouths involuntarily grinned. Then, look back and forth, left and right, and find yourself in the panda park, this laughing fruit is quite good.

Ouyang Yun, as the chief officer, ran on the side of the team, so naturally he was the focus of everyone's attention, so after everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and smiled, their eyes finally focused on his face, and many people couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Ouyang Yun also discovered the abnormality of the trainees, and still felt in his heart that the physical fitness of the trainees was too poor, and it seemed that he would have to strengthen training in the future. Looking at the shoes, there is no left foot and the other right foot, and I can't help but wonder a little.

When the morning exercise was finally over and the whole assembly was waiting to be disbanded, he asked everyone, "What's going on?" Do I have grass or crops on my face? Why are you all staring at me? ”

Everyone laughed, Chen Shichang stood in front of the team, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Tuanzao, that's the case, everyone thinks you are an iron man, but I didn't expect you to have dark circles under your eyes if you stay up late." ”

"Ahh No way? I've had no dark circles for years? Ouyang Yun's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous - since he joined the special forces brigade, he had never had dark circles under his eyes.

When the cadets heard this, they were all happy, and some thought: The regiment commander is really humorous, how old is he, and he hasn't had dark circles for many years, hehe!

Seeing everyone smiling one by one, Ouyang Yun was not angry, but a little happy. Originally, he was worried that the emergency gathering in the early hours of this morning would arouse everyone's disgust, after all, this is the pride of the sky! Proud son, there is also a saying that it is delicate...... Now it seems that he was overly worried.

After everyone laughed for a while, Ouyang Yun suddenly said loudly: "Lizheng!" Then take the lead in a straight posture with your chest straight.

Seeing his serious expression, the students were unconsciously infected, and they were busy standing up and standing upright.

"Take a break! Now, let me tell you about the problems that arose with this morning's emergency gathering. Problem 1: The assembly time was too slow, more than 200 people took about eight minutes! Problem 2: Many people don't have their clothes buttoned properly, and some even run out barefoot. Comrades, think about it, if the enemy had been attacking us at that time, would this battle still be fought at the same speed as we did? Please note that our weapons and equipment have not yet been distributed, and if you count the time for carrying equipment, it is estimated that our team will not be able to assemble in a quarter of an hour," Ouyang Yun said this, glaring at the panda eyes and looking over the faces of the cadets one by one.

There was silence on the school field for a while, and many people lowered their heads.

Seeing someone bowing his head, Ouyang Yun frowned and said, "The person with his head down raised his head, what?" Do you think I'm making a big fuss? Or are you embarrassed because you realized your mistakes? I declare that this is definitely not a fuss, on the battlefield, time is of the essence - how long does it take for a bullet to fly a distance of a thousand meters? Everyone has read books and learned arithmetic, and this answer is not difficult to obtain, just seconds! Maybe it's just a second, you and I may lose our lives if we delay the time because of the gathering! Because of the death of you and me, the strength of our team will be affected and we will lose the opportunity, and perhaps, we will fail because of this. If our team fails, then our entire army may be destroyed by our downfall, leading to the defeat of a campaign, and further, the destruction of our country - this is not alarmist! I think all of you here must understand the truth that the embankment collapsed in an anthill - everyone has their heads up, we don't need to blame ourselves now, we still have a lot to do!? What awaits us will be a brutal battlefield, where we will become a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and become the backbone of a nation - this is the mission of our soldiers! I now declare that after the dissolution of the meeting and breakfast, we will have a ceremony to bid farewell to the remains of the martyrs. Comrades, think about it, yesterday, they were still training with us, dreaming of recovering the rivers and mountains one day, but today, they have been laid to rest - comrades, the legacy of the martyrs needs to be fulfilled by us, so please keep your heads up! ……”

Ouyang Yun actually had a lot to say, and there were many matters to draw the attention of the students, but when it came to the soldiers who died this morning, he choked up and couldn't continue, so he had to give up his tirade of preaching.

At half past seven o'clock in the morning, all the personnel of the cadet corps who remained at the station, except for the two sentries, attended the farewell ceremony for the remains of the martyrs. At the ceremony, many of the cadets cried, and many more clenched their teeth and secretly made an oath in their hearts: one day, they would drive all the Japanese devils out of China, so that their comrades-in-arms and comrades could laugh at Jiuquan.

After the ceremony, Ouyang Yun announced two more regulations, firstly, to commemorate the first battle of the Cadet Corps, today, that is, May 5, was designated as the founding day of the Cadet Corps; Secondly, it is stipulated that on the day of the founding of the army, unless there are special circumstances, activities to mourn the sacrifices and martyrs of the cadet corps will be held.

Later, no matter where the officers and soldiers of the Cadet Corps were or what kind of identity they had, May 5 was a special day for them.

What Ouyang Yun himself didn't expect was that his move, which seemed to be a little whim at the time, gradually became the soul of the "Iron Blood Corps" to grow into an iron army.

After the event of bidding farewell to the remains of the martyrs, Ouyang Yun arranged for Chen Shichang to take a few people to the city to buy coffins and tombstones, and then drove a truck to return the remains of the four martyrs of the 51st Army to the Quartermaster Department of the 51st Army. When Chen Shaohua learned of the attack on the convoy, his first reaction was to grit his teeth and chant the name "Ma Benqian". It turned out that yesterday afternoon, Ma Ben came to look for him, but was blocked by the guards at the door. According to the guards, Ma Benqian lingered at the door for a long time before leaving, and it was clear that it was he who revealed the whereabouts of the convoy to the Japanese. When Ouyang Yun learned this, he even suspected that the news that he went to the Song Mansion and temporarily lived in Cai's Garden was also passed on to the Japanese by this traitor.

When it was over, Chen Shaohua said hatefully: "Before Ma Benqian, you are dead!" ”

Ouyang Yun didn't have time to care about Ma Benqian now, he took out four gold bars and handed them to Chen Shaohua and said, "Uncle Chen, your subordinates have just suffered an accident because of me, please find a way to give this money to their relatives, and have the right to do bereavement." ”

Chen Shaohua turned his smile and said, "No problem, Ouyang, I didn't expect you to be young, but you have a good heart." ”

Ouyang Yun pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Chen, please send it to you, I'll leave first." ”

Chen Shaohua was refined, and when he heard the meaning of his words, Zhengse said: "Ouyang, you also underestimate me too much, a gentleman has a good way to get money, how dare I reach out for this kind of money!" You can rest assured, on their family's side, I will definitely arrange it. ”

Ouyang Yun didn't want to get too entangled with him on this topic, Chen Shaohua's city was too deep, and he couldn't figure out the bottom of the people at all, so he did this just to ask for peace of mind, so he solemnly saluted him, and then drove away.

Out of the quartermaster office of the 51st Army, Ouyang Yun, under the guidance of Liu Zheliang, a service soldier in the same car, drove to the 25th Division's permanent security station. Then, under the guidance of Chang Zhi'an, they met Chang Zhilin, chief of the quartermaster department of the 25th Division, very smoothly.

Chang Zhilin listened to his cousin's introduction, and decided that Ouyang Yun, a returned overseas Chinese, was a rich man, so he led him directly into the warehouse, and then pointed to the various guns and cannons in the warehouse and asked him what he wanted.

It is also strange to say, the scale of a division of the 25th Division, the inventory in the warehouse is only a lot more than that of the 51st Army, not to mention the brand-new guns, when the scrap is put together, the broken guns are simply piled up into a hill, and what attracts Ouyang Yun's attention the most is a hydraulic punch and a few half-new but dusty lathes, milling machines, and boring machines.

He walked through the warehouse as if he didn't care, then shook his head and pretended to be disappointed.

Seeing him look like this, the two brothers Chang Zhi'an and Chang Zhilin were puzzled, and Chang Zhi'an asked: "Brother Ouyang, looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be very satisfied?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled reservedly, the characteristics of profiteers were fully revealed, and he said slowly: "Don't hide it from the two of you, we bought a lot of guns and guns from the 51st Army, and the bullets are enough for a year's consumption——"

Chang Zhilin felt very disappointed halfway through hearing this, and said, "So Brother Ouyang doesn't look down on our things? He glared at his cousin, apparently a little dissatisfied with the fact that he had attracted such a master who only looked at and did not buy.

Ouyang Yun's purpose of playing so hard was just to reduce the price and buy the machine tool he wanted the most, and after thinking about it, he said unhurriedly: "Two old brothers, thank you for it, since you came, I am embarrassed to go back empty-handed, well, I opened a thrift store in Beiping, you seem to have a lot of scrap iron here, I don't know if I can sell it or not?" ”

"Sell, sell, of course sell!" Chang Zhilin immediately shouted, but as soon as the words came out, he didn't know why Lu Dao felt inappropriate, and looked at Ouyang Yun and asked suspiciously: "You are a major who runs a thrift store, I heard it right, right?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled embarrassedly and nodded embarrassedly.

In Chang Zhilin's eyes, the broken guns are scrap iron, and they have to be dealt with anyway, although they feel that it is inappropriate, they always feel like they have been fooled, and they still agree. Then, together with several machine tools, they were all sold to Ouyang Yun at the price of scrap iron.

Ouyang Yun won the machine tool he wanted the most, and in the eyes of the Chang brothers, he seemed to become generous all of a sudden, and he didn't think that the guns were enough, and he bought two trucks, ten barrels of engine oil, and twenty barrels of gasoline at a very fair price; ten light machine guns, ten boxes of ammunition; Ten mortars, three 75-mm mountain guns and several hundred shells. Afterwards, he honored each of his brothers with a gold bar and a half pounds, originally he didn't want to break the self-righteous rules of the industry, but he was so moved that Chang Zhilin waved his pen and cut off the agreed price by one-third, which was equivalent to receiving him five catties of gold less, and regretted that his intestines were blue, and he said that he knew that this was the case, so it was better to simply give them five catties of gold each, does that mean that the guns here can be taken casually! Thinking of the slaughter he suffered at Chen Shaohua again, this heart, ten thousand ants devouring the heart.

On the way back, Liu Zheliang saw that he was not good, and he didn't know what to do, so he asked, "Tuanza, is it expensive?" ”

Ouyang Yun grinned loudly, thinking that there was a car behind him that was driven by Chang An'an, he didn't dare to laugh too loudly, and said softly: "Expensive? Silly boy? It's cheap, I regret not knowing them earlier, otherwise, I wouldn't have spent so much money in the 51st Army. I'll tell you, 1,500 yuan for two trucks, 1,000 yuan for ten barrels of engine oil, 4,000 yuan for twenty barrels of gasoline, 2,500 yuan for ten machine guns, and 500 yuan for ten boxes of ammunition...... As a result, I only gave 11 catties of gold, which was 9,240 yuan when converted into silver dollars. A few lathes and those cannons and shells are all for nothing! ”

Liu Zheliang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Obediently, I didn't expect our head to be a profiteer!" It's just that the business of these people in the 25th Division is like this, why are they still smiling one by one?!

- This question is hard to explain!
