Chapter 2: War and Politics (8)

After the telegram of the 2nd Regiment was transmitted back to the military headquarters of the Cadet Army. The staff officer on duty realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately sent it to Zhang Zhen, who immediately woke up Ouyang Yun, who had just fallen asleep.

In Ouyang Yun's office, the two of them sat opposite each other, and Zhang Zhen frowned and asked, "Could it be Song Zheyuan's meaning?" We went to Gaobeidian, but we deviated from the original route. ”

"Probably not, if Song Zheyuan is really this kind of person, I think Hebei has now begun to govern itself as the Japanese need," Ouyang Yun thought for a while and said.

"Who could that be? From the analysis of the messages, it is clear that this was a highly targeted operation. It is impossible for our recouters, in terms of adaptability and skill, to be so vulnerable. ”

"Could it be Japanese?" Ouyang Yun rubbed his temples vigorously with his thumb, and said a little casually, and then, the two of them glanced at each other, both of them were stunned by this inference. If this is the case, then the Japanese side is too powerful to preside over this - this is what it means to win a victory from a thousand miles away, right? In this case, the operation of sending troops to Fengtai will be much more dangerous, because who knows what kind of situation the Japanese will lay out after they are prepared?

"The second regiment is still waiting, we must make a decision as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhen said, walked to the front of the map, looked at the piece of Beiping, his brows furrowed, and said: "Ouyang, whether the Japanese did it or not, now, it is no longer realistic to let the second regiment go to Fengtai, I think it is better to go directly to Wanping." In addition, Tang Mulin's regiment, I think it's better not to move first, just let him stick near Yongqing and let it be firmly rooted like a nail. ”

Tang Mulin's regiment was transferred from Wen'an, and now it has arrived near Yongqing. Yongqing now nominally belongs to the territory of the 59th Army, but since the 59th Army has not yet been fully established, it is now only a security regiment responsible for local defense. Although the relationship between the 59th Army and the Xuebing Army should be of the nature of the antagonism between the two powers because of the intention of the Nanjing government, after participating in Wen'an together and fighting the Japanese army in Tianjin, the friendship between the two troops, whether officers or soldiers, is no longer understandable to ordinary people. Moreover, after Zhang Zizhong reequipped several backbone regiments with the equipment of the Cadet Army, his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and he is now inseparable from the Cadet Army. In this situation, it is naturally impossible for him to break with the Cadet Army. Of course, although the relationship and interests are clearly placed here, before the transfer of troops, Ouyang Yun still called Zhang Zizhong and politely proposed to him to borrow a word. And Zhang Zizhong naturally couldn't refuse, he even proposed that once the Japanese army made a big move to use military strength, then as a member of the Chinese army, the 59th Army should join the ranks of resistance against Japan!

Ouyang Yun stood up and walked to the front of the map, he watched Zhang Zhen's fingers swipe on several place names, and suddenly remembered a question, and said: "If it was really done by the Japanese, then the Japanese power in the Beiping area should not be underestimated." One more thing, if the Japanese want to do tricks on the territory of the 29th Army, it is impossible for them to be ignorant as the host, right? As for the position of the 29th Army, I am more and more confused, don't they know that this Wanping is actually what we helped them guard? ”

Zhang Zhen said: "Perhaps, what agreement has been reached between them? According to the information sent back by the Fox Pupil Beiping Group, there was no war in Fengtai at all, but now, it has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and from this aspect alone, there must be some kind of tacit understanding between them that is not known to outsiders. ”

Speaking of which, after Ouyang Yun crossed over, the first person to deal with was Song Zheyuan, and at first he was bent on assisting him, but with the change of the situation, they have come to this point. The growth of the student army can be said to be based on the weakening of the 29th Army, although Ouyang Yun gave various compensations, and the specifications of the compensation are not low, but in this era when there is a gun is the king of the mountain, what is more valuable than the army, so after the honeymoon period between him and Song Zheyuan, they have become more and more like passers-by, and there is even a tendency to develop towards the enemy. But even so, at this moment of national crisis, Ouyang Yun still didn't believe that Song Zheyuan would do something that his relatives hated his enemies. What he's worried about now is just that Song Zheyuan has some kind of plan, wanting to take advantage of the big fight between the Xuebing Army and the Japanese army. It doesn't matter if he wants to take advantage of it, but if he doesn't grasp it well, or if the interests of his subordinates go overboard, the consequences will be difficult to predict. Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I hope this is just our speculation, otherwise-hey, is this Beiping our military apprentice?" Or is it me, Ouyang?! Since someone doesn't want us to go to Fengtai, then simply, let's just pull the second regiment back in place! ”

Zhang Zhen was taken aback: "Ouyang, you're not joking, are you?" Wanping is now a big devil, relying on the strength of a regiment alone, there is no chance of winning at all! At this time, you can't be rash! ”

Ouyang Yun looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Do you think I'm acting rashly?" ”

Zhang Zhen asked rhetorically: "Isn't it?" ”

Ouyang Yun didn't answer him, but asked a jumping question, saying, "Lao Zhang, do you say that the Japanese are trustworthy?" ”

Zhang Zhen didn't know how he could think of this question at this time, and frowned: "Ouyang, whether the Japanese are keeping their word or not has little to do with the Wanping War, and this incident was obviously provoked by the Japanese. Hmph, it's funny to say, they want to start a war with our student army, in fact, why do they need to use such despicable means, they can fight directly in the name of begging for prisoners. These Japanese are really hypocritical and despicable, maybe they just don't want to admit their defeat last time!? ”

Squinting his eyes slightly, Ouyang Yun's expression seemed to be completely relaxed, he continued to think about the problem according to his own train of thought, and said: "I'm sure of one thing, the Japanese must have reached an agreement with Song Zheyuan this time, and in addition, I can also conclude that the Japanese will definitely not keep their word." Hehe, Wanping should have been the territory of the 29th Army, since this is the case, let's simply return it to the 29th Army. ”

Zhang Zhen was shocked and hurriedly said: "No, if Wanping is really lost in our hands, not to mention what the Japanese will do next, will it endanger Beiping, at least one thing I can be sure of, the saliva of the Chinese people alone is enough to drown us." Ouyang, it is not easy for our students to have today's honor, and this matter must be carefully considered! ”

Zhang Zhen's words were a bit serious, but they were not exaggerated. And Ouyang Yun actually knew this, but out of another consideration, he decided to take a risk and make a risky move!
