Chapter 44 and Feng Zhi'an's first meeting

May 12th. Beiping, Wanping City, 37th Division Headquarters.

Ouyang Yun and Feng Zhi'an stood opposite each other, both looking at each other with some curiosity.

In history, the famous anti-Japanese generals of the 29th Army grabbed a lot of them, and Feng Zhi'an was one of them. Feng's family was poor, he joined Feng Yuxiang at the age of 15, started as a man in the Northwest Army, became a division commander at the age of 31, and reached the highest level of army commander, and his life legend is quite strong.

The 29th Army's great victory at Xifengkou in the Battle of the Great Wall was carefully studied by Ouyang Yun and his classmates. In the end, they came to the following conclusion: if it were not for the surprise attack of Feng Bu's outstanding troops and the destruction of the Japanese artillery positions on the eastern and western heights, it is actually very difficult to say how the Battle of Xifengkou would have been fought.

This also just corresponds to Ouyang Yun's previous sentence to the Japanese army: the Japanese army, which lacks aircraft, tanks, and artillery, is actually nothing.

It can be said that the anti-Japanese reputation of Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army was actually earned back by Feng Zhi'an and the 37th Division. Compared with the Song Dynasty, Feng's position towards the Japanese army was more resolute and decisive, and the 77 Incident in history was under Feng's strict order, and his subordinates fired the first shot of the all-out war of resistance at Lugou Bridge!

If Ouyang Yun's admiration for Song Zheyuan is still a little wet and ulterior motives, for Feng Zhi'an, he really admires it.

How could Ouyang Yun appear in the headquarters of the 37th Division?

It all started two days ago. When the Xuebing Corps escorted hundreds of prisoners and drove from Wancun to Beiping with a large number of arms, halfway through, Ouyang Yun suddenly realized a serious problem - now Beiping and Tianjin are nominally not the territory of the 29th Army, and the Xuebing Corps belongs to the 29th Army, so the station should be in Chahar, if you go to Beiping now, will it cause unnecessary trouble?

After thinking about it, he felt that the best way to deal with it at present was to find the 37th Division stationed in Beiping, temporarily attach it to Feng Zhi'an, and wait for the situation to develop in the established direction before making a plan.

So, he, Li Tieshu and Chen Shichang formulated a plan for training, and in the name of training, he led the team to march in remote areas to reduce the impact, and then he took Liu Zheliang to take the first step and went to Beiping to find Feng Zhi'an.

Feng Zhi'an looked at the young descendant in front of him, who was only twenty-one or twelve years old, but had already stirred up Pingjin and won the title of "Anti-Japanese Twin Heroes", and his heart was full of curiosity about him.

"Head Ouyang, this year's Gui Geng?"

"Tell General Feng, 21."

Feng Zhi'an sighed: "I'm only 21, and I'm already the regiment commander, hehe, I only became the battalion commander at the age of 23, it's really terrifying." ”

"General Feng smiled, the whole Mongolian army is loved, and the kid is actually ashamed."

"I heard from the military seat that your student corps annihilated more than 100 devils who attacked you in one fell swoop in Tianjin, and you only suffered more than 20 casualties, is this true?"

Ouyang Yun nodded and said: "It was said that it was a sneak attack by the Japanese army, but the actual situation was that we laid out our pockets and waited for them to ambush, so we barely won, compared to the battle when the general attacked the Japanese artillery position at night at Xifengkou, it is really not worth mentioning." General, can you sign for me? ”

Feng Zhi'an was stunned: "Signature?!" Seeing that Ouyang Yun had already taken out his notebook and pen very skillfully, his face couldn't help but be slightly pale, and he became a little helpless for a while.

Ouyang Yun said very sincerely: "General Feng, I have always regarded you as my idol, you are a veteran of the battlefield, experienced in dealing with the enemy, I am a small soldier who has just joined the camp, and I ask you to give me more advice in the future." ”

Feng Zhi'an touched his chin, his face was not known because he was shy or secretly happy, exuding a layer of red light, took the pen, opened the notebook, saw Song Zheyuan's signature, was slightly shocked, and asked, "Military seat?" ”

"Yes, you are all my idols, but I admire your night raid at Xifengkou even more."

Feng Zhi'an turned the page and inscribed "Don't forget the national shame, I will die and survive the country - Zhi'an and Ouyang Yun's friends encourage each other", and said modestly: "What night raid plots are all due to the commanders of the Song army and the officers and men of the whole army, and public security is just to fulfill their duties." ”

Ouyang Yun hurriedly said: "General Feng, you are too modest, in my opinion, sometimes a good strategy, its effect is often better than thousands of troops, Xifengkou battle, if it is not for the Japanese army lost artillery, tanks, then it is not known who will die." ”

The night attack on Xifengkou can be said to be Feng Zhi'an's proudest battle so far, he thought of it in private, in fact, he was also proud of it, seeing that the young man was analyzing the head, he nodded and said: "What the Japanese army relies on is nothing more than tanks and artillery, and every time before the war, aircraft and artillery are unstingy pouring bombs. Therefore, in a war with the Japanese army, as long as you break their three axes, it will be easy to do it below. Speaking of this, he sighed heavily and said: "But the problem is that with our current equipment, there is really no way to take these three-plate axes, so we have to risk some surprise soldiers, although they can occasionally be effective, but after all, it is not a long-term solution." ”

is worthy of being a powerful general who came out of the war, and has dealt with the Japanese for many years, Feng Zhi'an's comment, the gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies, analyzed very thoroughly, Ouyang Yun couldn't help but nod, and secretly thought: The War of Resistance against Japan was fought so hard, in fact, it was not because China did not have good generals and soldiers, but the hardware was inferior to people, and there was no capital to win the war - thinking of his mission, if he wanted to build planes and tanks in a short period of time, it seemed a bit of a fantasy, I just felt that the burden on my shoulders was heavier.

The first meeting between Ouyang Yun and Feng Zhi'an left a good impression on each other.

When he was still a student in the previous time and space, Ouyang Yun had carefully studied some history books about the 29th Army. There were three generals in the 29th Army that he admired the most, Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhi'an and He Jifeng. It was these two people who grasped the weakness of the Japanese army's poor night fighting, highlighted the strange soldiers, and destroyed the Japanese army's artillery, baggage, and grain stalks, thus laying the cornerstone of victory in one fell swoop.

Ouyang Yun sincerely admired Feng Zhi'an, first of all, because the other party was absolutely resolute in resisting Japan, and on the other hand, in the War of Resistance against Japan, as a powerful representative of the Northwest Army, although he enjoyed the bad "reputation" of opposing Chiang and the Communist Party at that time, he was always able to stand tall, which was also a reason for him to admire the other party. Although there have been many criticisms of Feng's behavior in history, Ouyang Yun, as a latecomer, will definitely take a similar route to Feng in the future, and even surpass it - how to live his own small life in the cracks of the "national government", Feng Zhi'an is worth learning from him.

In front of Feng Zhi'an, more often, Ouyang Yun behaved like a FAN who saw an idol, which undoubtedly greatly satisfied Feng Zhi'an's vanity, you must know that since the "426 tragedy", the reputation of the "Anti-Japanese Twin Heroes" has spread in the land of China for a long time, and Feng Zhi'an has also heard their names for a long time. Young people who can fight evil battles have a special affection. Although Ouyang Yun's military posture was a bit unusual, he was absolutely standard and upright, and as soon as they met, he gave him a favor, and sent all the weapons captured from Shiyou's third department, which made him immediately like the young man in front of him.

The two of them "you have affection and I have intentions", and they have a common topic, and after a conversation, the guests and hosts are happy.

So, Feng Zhi'an readily agreed to the request of the student corps to settle in the Wanping military camp. When it was over, Ouyang Yun, under the consultation of the other party, talked about the ins and outs of the batch of arms that were used as a meeting gift, and told the matter of ambushing Shiyou Sanbu.

Feng Zhi'anzheng wondered why there was no news from Shiyou's third department, and when he learned that he had been broken up by the student corps, he said that this young man was not small, and more than 300 people dared to touch the team of 3,000 people, and there was something different in his eyes. When he heard that there was a squadron of little devils mixed in, he couldn't help but be angry, and asked worriedly: "The Japanese army is not as bad as Shi Yousan's miscellaneous army, and the casualties of the student corps are not large?" ”

Ouyang Yun reported the casualty data, and then gritted his teeth and said: "We originally just wanted to break up the stone department, but we didn't expect them to let the Japanese get involved in this matter, if it weren't for the Japanese, the student corps would not have such a big casualty!" The blood of the cadets will not be shed in vain, and Shi Yousan and them must give an explanation for this matter. ”

Feng Zhi'an was surprised when he heard it, he didn't understand the logic of the young man, and said in his heart that he had only killed seven, wounded four, and annihilated more than 200 devils, where was the big casualty, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was going to take Shi Yousan to the knife, this Shi Yousan was the former general of the Northwest Army after all, and he had a lot of connections with the 29th Army, and many generals in the 29th Army were his subordinates and friends, if he was really killed, it would not be a good thing for the Cadet Corps. The young man was impulsive and didn't think about the problem thoroughly enough, he felt that he needed to remind the other party, and said kindly: "Ouyang, Shi Yousan is from the former Northwest Army, I think it's better to hand him over to the military seat to deal with it." ”

Seven people were killed and four were injured, it was really nothing in front of veterans like Feng Zhi'an who had seen big scenes, but Ouyang Yun didn't think so. In his opinion, in the land mountain ambush battle, it is normal for the student corps to have no casualties when they have all the advantages in weapons, time, place, and people. If it weren't for Shi Yousan's collusion with the Japanese, they would indeed be able to sit at this point, which is why he hated Shi Yousan and his ilk so much. He said: "General, our original plan was indeed to hand over Shi Yousan and others to the military seat to deal with, but who told him to collude with the Japanese in a grand manner? If we don't deal with this incident harshly, will those forces who are still on the sidelines think that our 29th Army is afraid of the Japanese? Isn't this a disguised encouragement for them to join the enemy and become traitors? ”

Feng Zhi'an thought about it and felt that this was the case, but out of kindness, he still solemnly said to Ouyang Yun: "I personally agree with you doing this, but I hope you will consider the ideas of other colleagues more, before you deal with Shi Yousan, it is best to communicate with the military seat and ask for his opinion." ”

Ouyang Yun smiled and thanked him, but he thought in his heart: It seems that Shi Yousan and the others must be killed as soon as possible, in case the night is long and dreamy.
