Setting up roles such as political commissar and political director in the army is an idea that Ouyang Yun has long had. It has not been implemented because of the scarcity of talent, and in addition, it is the meaning of the party that is specific to this role. This time, it can be regarded as seizing an opportunity, and it was brought up by the trend.

Ouyang Yun took a sip of tea and continued the topic above: "We have decided on the matter of the instructor, and next, let's talk about the current dilemma." The relevant information has already been presented to you, and if nothing else, I don't think there will be time to convene such a meeting in the future. The little devil seems to be going to be hard this time," he stood up, and after Pan Meiren pulled the curtain on the military map of North China behind him, he took the baton from her hand, pointed to Xifengkou and other directions, and said: "The Japanese army's military operation against our student army this time has a total of four directions, and its total strength is five divisions, three mixed brigades, and then artillery, chariots and other auxiliary units, totaling more than 140,000 people. Among them, two mixed brigades and other troops led by Hideki Tojo are moving towards Duolun; In addition, along the Great Wall, Xifengkou is the main direction of attack of the Japanese, and at present, in addition to the original 9th Division, the 10th Division and the 1st Mixed Brigade have been added, plus artillery and chariot units, totaling about 70,000 people. The enemy in the east and west directions of Xifengkou, because there are too many passes, it is not yet known which one the Japanese army wants to attack. This is the most difficult problem, so I think that in these two directions, it is better to take the initiative to attack than to be passively defensive! Zhang Gongming! ”

"Throne!" Zhang Gongming is a black-faced man, a battalion commander of the former Military Police Regiment, because of his bravery in combat and his stay at the Baoding Military Academy, he was favored by Ouyang Yun and promoted to the commander of the First Division.

Ouyang Yun looked at him, waved the baton in his hand, and said, "I'll hand it over to you east of Xifengkou." The task of your division is to take the initiative to harass the 16th Division of the Japanese Army. It is necessary to preserve its own strength, but also to prevent it from carrying out strategic movements as it pleases," after a pause, he said: "Your division's strength is only half of that of others, and this task is relatively arduous, do you have the confidence to complete it?" Zhang Gongming replied without hesitation: "Have confidence." With a solemn military salute, he said, "May I make a small request?" ”

Ouyang Yun nodded.

Zhang Gongming's chest straightened and he said loudly: "I request that my division be given complete autonomy to act. ”

Ouyang Yun looked at him and said solemnly: "Yes, but if I give you a division, you must bring me at least two-thirds of the division back!" ”

Two-thirds of the division, this statement is fresh enough, but it also shows Ouyang Yun's worries about this battle. Also, the Japanese army at this time was no better than forty years later, and one soldier was claimed to be worth three Chinese soldiers. In the Great Wall War of Resistance that took place in the 33rd year, the Japanese army created a miracle of defeating 350,000 people with 50,000 people. How can it be calculated, a little devil can beat seven Chinese soldiers.

Zhang Gongming solemnly saluted again and said, "Military seat, do you want to sign a military order?" ”

Ouyang Yun, Li Tieshu, and Zhang Zhen glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and said, "I believe in you!" The military order was dispensed with. ”

"We will live up to the high expectations of the military seat!" After Zhang Gongming finished speaking, he sat down confidently.

Ouyang Yun set his eyes on Li Ganjiang, who consciously stood up and saluted: "Military seat, please give an order." Our third division has not been caught in the battle until now, and the brothers are all screaming with hunger. ”

Li Ganjiang was originally just a battalion commander under Ji Xingwen, but because of his outstanding personal ability, the tide has risen, and now he has been promoted to the commander of the third division of the school. There is an obvious difference from Zhang Gongming's appearance, he looks white and clean, in Ji Xingwen's words: He is a talent in our old group. Li Ganjiang is best at leading troops, and it is precisely because of his efforts that the relationship between officers and soldiers in the four division-level units of the Third Division is handled harmoniously, which can be regarded as a very good implementation of Ouyang Yun's idea of army building - officers and soldiers are truly as close as brothers.

Ouyang Yun nodded, turned around and pointed his baton at the Tiemen Pass east of Xifengkou, and said, "Li Ganjiang, the task of your three divisions is to get out of the Tiemen Pass, and then, no matter what method you use, you must pass through the blockade of the Japanese army and get here." The baton moved to the name of the place in Oshoji, and with a heavy press, he said, "If my guess is correct, the few baggage of the Japanese army should be stored in Oshoji." Not only do you have to occupy it, but you must be prepared to hold it for at least three days. ”

As Ouyang Yunwei explained the combat orders of the Third Division, Li Ganjiang's white face slowly turned red, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. The Tiemen Pass was very close to the Xifeng Pass, and with the strength of the Japanese army gathered here, there was no reason why they should not consider the Tiemen Pass as a breakthrough. In this way, it is difficult to learn the attack of the third division itself. And their task is not to block the enemy at the Iron Gate, but to form a breakthrough and attack the Great Shosho. Let's not talk about how many enemy troops defend Dashoji, whether it is difficult to fight, even if they can successfully take Dashoji, but next, what they will face will be the encirclement of one army of the Japanese North China Front.

The operational plan that Ouyang Yun is talking about now was discussed by him and Li Tieshu, Zhang Zhen, Ji Xingwen, and the staff officers of the military department. When he first put forward this idea, Li Tieshu, who had always been adventurous in war, also called it too risky - in fact, adventure is not enough to explain, it can be called arrogance - this combat plan, from the very beginning, was actually aimed at encircling more with less. Ouyang Yun not only wanted to keep the First Army of the North China Front out of Jicha, but also wanted to annihilate the enemy's vitality as much as possible.

According to the information sent back by Feng Yuanxiu, the Japanese army's baggage ammunition was indeed hoarded in Dashoji. And the defender of the big shoji is nothing more than a wing, and with the strength of a division against a wing, it is only a matter of time before it is annihilated, and the difficulty is how to hold there after the capture. It is conceivable that the Japanese army will inevitably return to the division to counterattack in the future, and in that case, the third division is likely to be completely eaten by the superior Japanese army. Of course, Ouyang Yun will definitely not sit and watch, when the time comes, the Second Division and the Jewish Brigade, the two brigades of Erzhang, and the teaching corps of the 29th Army will all go out of the Great Wall, rush to the big shosho, and have a big drama of encirclement and counter-encirclement.

Ji Xingwen looked at his old subordinates and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" I'm sweating all over my head, Ganjiang, but don't tell me you're scared. ”

Li Ganjiang smiled bitterly, he looked at Ouyang Yun, the expression on his face became serious, and after a while, he said loudly: "Junzao, I heard that the R&D Institute has a new self-propelled artillery, I don't know if Lu Dao can equip my department with some first, I only need one battalion." ”

Ouyang Yun laughed——
