Chapter 194: Undercurrent
The Battle of Hainan ended in the scene where dozens of middle and senior officers were reluctant to bid farewell to Ouyang Yun. This ending was unexpected by everyone. On the way back to Guangzhou day and night, Li Senran still felt very puzzled by this dramatic scene. Finding an opportunity, he asked Ouyang Yun: "Commander-in-chief, why are you doing this?" How good is it to kill it directly? What a glorious victory this should be?! ”
The total annihilation of a division of the Japanese army was indeed a remarkable victory. It's no wonder that Li Senran thinks so.
Ouyang Yun smiled and didn't answer, Bian Jingdao said, "You don't understand, right?" Let me ask you, if you were asked to choose one between the Fourth Division and the Sixth Division to be placed in Hainan, which one would you choose? ”
Li Senran was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "Of course it's the Fourth Division, the persimmon picks the soft pinch, who doesn't understand this truth?!" After saying that, he understood, frowned and asked, "However, even if the Sixth Division comes, we should be able to defeat or even encircle and annihilate it, right?" Although the cost may be higher, victory should be no suspense. ”
"Well, even if we can crush the 6th Division. But what about after that? The Japanese army now has 40 main divisions and regiments, and if there are 5 divisions and regiments that take turns to attack Hainan or even send all of them over at once, what will we do? ”
Hearing this, Li Senran understood a little. He scratched his head and said, "However, once the news of the Osaka Division's capture of Hainan reaches back to Japan, who can guarantee that the little devil will not continue to send additional troops?" If they continue to send more troops, won't it be counterproductive for us to do so?! ”
"Sawada Shigeru and Honda Inahui, they won't let the Tokyo base camp continue to send additional troops, if they can't even do this, then is there still a need to stay in Hainan?" Ouyang Yun said. He patted Li Senran on the shoulder and said, "There are some things, simple assumptions, you may feel that there is no possibility of validity. But if you're there, there's bound to be a way. The Osaka Division has been established for a short time, right? Being able to maintain their usual 'vendor' style is actually quite potential from that point alone. Hehe, wait and see, the show is ahead. ”
Li Senran was thoughtful.
When he was still in Hainan, Ouyang Yun was still in a good mood. And as he finished crossing the sea from Haikou, his face became serious. Since the establishment of the Xuebing Army, no matter what happened, he had never thought of escaping, but this time, because he was involved in some people who were more closely related to him, he had such a thought.
Ouyang Yun's emotions infected many people. Among them, Pan Meiren and Chen Shichang know what Lu Dao will face, Pan Meiren is okay, because of her extraordinary relationship with Ouyang Yun, her position is relatively simple, so there is nothing to worry about; And Chen Shichang is different, several times, he was snorting when facing Ouyang Yun, but Ouyang Yun deliberately avoided it. This made his expression more and more depressed, and even people who never smoked actually began to smoke without leaving their hands.
In Bawang Mountain, Meizhou, Guangdong, in the guerrilla headquarters of the Cadet Army, Chu Tiange sat on a chair with a haggard face, and beside him, there were five officers, two of whom had the rank of major general, and three were school officers.
These officers are all Chu Tiange's henchmen. The guerrilla units of the Scholar Army were completely developed and grown from Chu Tiange on the basis of the guerrillas in Eagle Cliff Mountain, so unlike the regular units of the Scholar Army such as the First Army, the chief officers of the subordinate units of the guerrilla troops were all nominated by Chu Tiange and appointed by the General Headquarters, so it can be said that everyone has a deep imprint of the Chu family.
Originally, this was nothing, after all, in terms of his relationship with Ouyang Yun, he really turned the guerrilla army into his own private army, as long as he didn't make a mistake of principle, Ouyang Yun would not deal with him. It's just that as the Cadet Army grows stronger and more complex, and the composition of the Soldiers' Committee becomes more and more complex, some people begin to want to make a fuss about it.
The original intention of the establishment of the Soldiers' Committee was to maintain Ouyang Yun's absolute authority in the Cadet Army. To use a less precise analogy, this is akin to Hitler's SS. The difference is that because Ouyang Yun has never given it a formal establishment, the soldiers' committee is much worse than the SS in terms of exercising power.
Because of the nature of the soldiers' committee, although Ouyang Yun did not express his support, he did not intervene too much at the same time. And his ambiguous attitude has given some people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it. So, taking advantage of Ouyang Yun's trip to Madang and Hainan, they encouraged more radical soldiers and began to stretch out their long-coveted military power.
Because Mu Jiandie is based in Chongqing, the current internal and external affairs of the fox pupil are actually in charge of Changgen. And Tsunee made a mistake in this matter, he underestimated the destructiveness of these ulterior motives, and began to take a laissez-faire attitude towards them, which directly led to the following evil consequences. As the grass-roots companies and even regimental and brigade-level units of various armies are actually under the control of the soldiers' committees, those with bad intentions have the strength to carry out their ill-intentioned intentions, and their destructive power has also increased exponentially.
When Ouyang Yun was not in Guangdong, the affairs of the General Headquarters were led by Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu. At several regular meetings, the brigade commanders under the Soldiers' Committee began to make frequent attacks, and their first target was the Cadet Research Institute. Headed by Ye Hongming, commander of the 16 th Cadet Brigade, several brigade commanders who served as members of the Soldiers' Committee proposed that the Cadet Research and Development Institute, as a subordinate weapons scientific research department of the Cadet Corps, should not be separated from the supervision and management of the Cadet Corps, and that in order to ensure the purity of the Cadet Research and Development Institute, it is necessary to dispatch a professional military management team to strictly manage those cadets and prevent them from leaking secrets.
This proposal was unanimously opposed by Ji Xingwen and Li Tieshu at first. They had good reasons to oppose it, and the Cadets developed all the specialized guard units, which were born out of the wolf's fangs, and could be said to be the strongest in terms of professionalism alone. Therefore, there is no need to send another team of officers.
At that time, Ye Hongming and others did not disagree anymore. However, with the leakage of the R&D Institute's data three days later, and it was a cadet in the R&D Institute's guard unit who stole the data, Ye Hongming and others had a reason to change the R&D Institute's security unit. At the next regular meeting, they put forward the proposal again, which was finally approved by the overwhelming majority of the officers present and successfully adopted.
According to the rules and regulations of the Cadet Army, an order to replace the guard unit of an important department such as the R&D Institute requires the signature of Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Yun before it can take effect. And when Ji Xingwen sent a telegram asking him to sign, because Ouyang Yun happened to be in Mianchuan Island, and Chen Shichang turned a blind eye, as a result, I don't know who signed Ouyang Yun's name on that telegram and sent it back, this order actually took effect.
And this directly led to the intensification of the contradiction between the soldiers and the soldiers' committee of the research and development institute. also laid the groundwork for Chu Tiange to be involved in this matter.
