Unlike the Cadet Army, which had tanks to scare the Japanese, the 57th Army fought extremely badly with the Japanese led by the newly formed 108th Division in Shanhaiguan, and according to the information sent back by Fox Tong, only on the first day of engagement, the 113th Brigade of Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division was disabled.

Ren Qiu, in the conference room of the headquarters of the Cadet Army, in a cloud of smoke, Ouyang Yun was doing situation analysis and troop deployment on the military map of North China-"...... It's hateful that China and Japan are not hostile countries at the moment-" Speaking of this, Ouyang Yun shook his head helplessly, feeling that this thing was really fucking ridiculous. The three northeastern provinces have all been occupied by others, and now they have begun to play the idea of North China again, but as the aggressor and the victim country, the relationship between the two countries is still normal between countries, if the Nanjing government can declare war on Japan at this time, how good it would be, in that way, he can directly pull out the nail of the Japanese garrison in North China, "In this way, the Japanese army in Tianjin will become a nail, although we are unable to pull out this nail at present, but we must not let it have a chance to launch." Brigadier Fang! ”

"Humble duty."

"I'll leave this nail to your care, and I'll transfer another regiment of self-defense forces to you. I don't care what method you use, I will tell me that they are strangled in the Japanese concession. ”

"Yes!"

Ouyang Yun's gaze turned to the faces of Zhang Qingyu and Zhang Yantian, and the baton in his hand drew on the area of Jidong and Chadong, and said: "Both, Jidong and Chadong will be handed over to you, seize the time to clear the puppet army's strength, and strive to fully control these areas in the shortest possible time, especially the 22 counties in eastern Hebei." If the Japanese army formed a breakthrough from Xifengkou and Shanhaiguan, by that time, eastern Hebei would definitely become a big battlefield. I hope that by that time, the Japanese will become blind and deaf in Jidong! Questions? ”

The two looked at each other, and then said in unison: "I will live up to my mission." ”

Ouyang Yun nodded, turned around to face the map again, pointed the baton to the point at Xifengkou and said, "Tonight, I will lead the Second Division to support Xifengkou." After I left, Ren Qiu's government affairs were overseen by Chief Jiang, and military affairs were taken care of by Deputy Army Commander Li and Chief of Staff Zhang. Seeing that everyone wanted to speak, obviously trying to prevent himself from coming to the front line, he waved his hand and said: "This battle involves the use of many new weapons and new tactics, and I believe that no one here is more familiar with it than me, so no one should fight with me for the task of supporting Xifengkou." Deputy Commander Ji," his gaze fell on Ji Xingwen's face.

The latter looked at him silently.

"I'll hand over Chahar to you, and for Chu Tiange's materials and personnel resources, your ministry will be responsible for them for the time being."

"Yes."

Ouyang Yun nodded, glanced at everyone seriously, and said later: "Everyone, although China and Japan have not declared war on each other at present, and the war only takes place within the jurisdiction of our army and the 57 counties, what I want to affirm is that this is a national war, and everyone and everything should be aimed at winning this war. I'm going to say ugly things ahead, I don't mind killing two people to wake up the whole army! ”

Everyone was silent. And Ouyang Stern blinked his eyes and looked left and right, gritted his teeth and stood up and asked, "Commander, all troops have tasks, what about our independent brigade?" ”

"Stay."

"Isn't there a division and a special service brigade left behind? And the Self-Defense Forces—"

Ouyang Yun's brows furrowed slightly. Since the establishment of the Jewish Independent Brigade, because of the strong support of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce in military spending, except for the rifle, which is equipped with a domestic "Weiqing type", other standard weapons are almost all American weapons, and it can be said that it is the most well-equipped unit in the student army. It was not that he did not have the idea of pulling the Independent Brigade up to test the waters, but he could not give this order because of the possible repercussions and the agreement reached with the Bonn father and son. Stern was a pure military man who didn't care much about politics and other things, which he admired and, of course, had a bit of a headache at the same time. After thinking about it, he said euphemistically: "Major General Stern, didn't Mr. Bonn tell you?" ”

"What?" Stern looked dazed.

"We had an agreement that your Independent Jewish Brigade could only be used to defend the autonomous region."

"It's unfair and an insult to our Jewish Independence Brigade. If the Japanese have not been able to enter Renqiu, have we never been able to fight? You also said that this is a national war, and we are now Chinese. Now that our own country has been invaded, can we, as her citizens, stay out of it? ”

To tell the truth, after the establishment of the Jewish Independent Brigade, although they achieved good results in various drills organized by the Cadet Army, neither the officers nor the soldiers regarded them as their own people. After all, in this era, the idea that people who are not of our race will have different hearts is still very serious. But now, after listening to Stern's angry confession, Guo Biao, who has always had a very serious nationalist tendency, can't help but pay attention to him.

Stern's performance today was not unexpected by Ouyang Yun, among the cadet corps officers present, he had dealt with Stern the most, so he knew some of Stern's thoughts. Stern's spirit was commendable, but the scope was too broad for him to give an immediate answer. I had to smile and say, "Stern, this problem, we will study it when we have the opportunity." The General Staff's operational plan has been prepared and it is impossible to change it, so I hope you will respect the decision of the Headquarters. ”

As a soldier, Stern naturally knew that it was his duty to obey orders, so although he was very reluctant in his heart, he had no choice but to sit down depressed when he heard Ouyang Yun say so.

Solving Stern's doubts, Ouyang Yun asked everyone, "Are there any other questions?" ”

Qin Dechun looked at everyone, took a deep breath and said, "Chief Ouyang, are you still missing a troop?" We are a serious Chinese army. ”

After the rebellion in Beiping was resolved, because Song Zheyuan had been killed, and Nanjing did not respond in time, as a result, the rest of the 29th Army quickly split, and some of them went to Zhang Zizhong of the 57th Army, while the first part led by Qin Dechun chose to join the Xuebing Army.

Ouyang Yun looked at Qin Dechun and felt in a trance. Historically, Qin Dechun was moved by Lao Jiang because of his trip to Lushan, and as a result, he voted for the Central Army. And now, he has taken refuge in himself. While lamenting that creation makes people, he also feels that the burden on his body is heavier. Originally, this humiliating history was written by the 29th Army and Song Zheyuan, but now, it has fallen to Xuebing Jun and his butterfly, can he really change history with a flap of his wings?
