After careful calculation, Ouyang Yun hadn't seen Bai Chongxi for a long time. The last time they met, because the student army had just arrived in Guangdong, their foothold was not stable, so the momentum of the two sides at that time, Ouyang Yun was a little weaker. Time has passed, but in just over a year, the two sides met again, and the momentum represented by them has grown and disappeared, although Ouyang Yun has no intention of showing off, but this momentum naturally prevails.

When Ouyang Yun's convoy galloped arrogantly all the way without a trace, and came with a sprinkle of joy, Bai Chongxi and his party came to their senses, knowing that the road was a big man.

Ji Xingwen's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the license plate number of Ouyang Yunzao's car, and immediately said, "The commander-in-chief is back." ”

Bai Chongxi sighed secretly in his heart, saying that people are really angry compared to people! Everyone is a prince of one side, looking at how nourished and energetic Ouyang Yun is, why doesn't he have this good life. Thinking like this, he showed a reserved smile on his face, lowered his hands and led everyone to stand on the side of the road, watched the convoy roar over, and responded to Ji Xingwen: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Commander-in-Chief Ouyang's travel battle is getting more and more luxurious!" ”

These words were somewhat sour, Ji Xingwen pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "No way, I blew up and sank the two aircraft carriers of the little devil, and the little devil tried his best to retaliate, and some time ago he dispatched the 'Death Chrysanthemum' to plot against the commander-in-chief once." The commander-in-chief is concerned with the system of the cadet army, and we have to be cautious in case of accidents! ”

"It should be, it should be, when it comes to blowing up and sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier, this hand is a stroke of genius! Thinking about the Battle of Songhu at the beginning, how arrogant the little devil's aircraft carrier was, directly occupying the Yangtze River estuary and bombing day and night, this time it was really bad. But this matter is strange, when this Cantonese Air Force is in the hands of a thin and tall guy, it is not very powerful, why did it change its door, and it was so strong? Could it be that Commander-in-Chief Ouyang really has the ability to turn stone into gold? "The heavy damage to the Japanese Combined Fleet by the Cadet Army is a very happy thing for both public and private purposes, and it has a great encouraging effect on the morale of the people. Bai Chongxi's praise is also from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Xingwen smiled slightly: "Mr. Bai is too famous!" ”

Ouyang Yun's convoy has been galloping in the city these days, and there are few people who don't know it, and the pedestrians have dodged when they see this, and the convoy has been able to pass smoothly, and soon they will come to everyone. Bai Chongxi smiled slightly, slowly walked up, and saw Ouyang Yun limping over from the first car.

He was taken aback and blurted out, "Brother Ouyang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ouyang Yun smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "I accidentally fell, I'm sorry for you." Mr. Bai, you are a rare guest, I will say, I just entered Baiyun Mountain today, and I saw magpies flying all over the mountain, and the feeling is that there are distinguished guests from afar, Ha Luha! Mr. Bai, we haven't seen each other in a while! ”

Both of them were dressed in military uniforms, and after standing at close range, they naturally saluted first, and then clasped their hands and shook for a while.

Bai Chongxi said: "Brother, just now I was talking to Chief of Staff Ji that your army's air raid operation this time severely damaged the Japanese Combined Fleet, but it is an immortal achievement!" Brother, although I used to think that your army was doing great things, I was still surprised this time! This hand, play high! ”

"Mr. Bai is overrated. Lao Ji, this is not the way of hospitality, how can you let the chief and them stand on the side of the road, please go in and drink some tea first! Everyone, let you wait for a long time, Ouyang apologizes, I'll punish myself later! ”

Bai Chongxi took his hand and turned back to the others and introduced him one by one.

Zhang Kexia's arrival was a bit unexpected for Ouyang Yun. Since the Xuebing Army left North China, he and Zhang Zizhong have maintained correspondence, and in a letter he received just a week ago, Zhang Zizhong did not mention it. Could it be that Zhang Kexia and others were ordered by the Military Commission?

The secret was soon revealed, and when Ouyang Yun walked up to Zhang Kexia and shook hands with him, the latter took out a letter and said, "This is what the military seat asked me to hand over to you, and he said that he wanted you to give an answer before we left." ”

As soon as Zhang Kexia showed the letter, several plainclothes guard-like people standing about five or six meters away from them showed nervous expressions. Ouyang Yun keenly sensed this, and when he led everyone towards the headquarters of the Cadet Army, he couldn't help but pay special attention to those people.

Since Ouyang Yun crossed over, he has made very few bosom friends, but Chu Tiange, Situ Leiden, and Zhang Zizhong are just a few people. Among them, although he and Zhang Zizhong are not the deepest, they are the most sympathetic to each other for well-known reasons. The two cooperated tacitly in the Second Great Wall War of Resistance, and defeated Little Japan, which is known as the second strongest army in the world, and changed the situation in North China in one fell swoop. It's a pity that at a critical time, Nanjing staged such a farce, and then, Zhang Zhen's betrayal made them have to choose to give in, and watched the good situation that had finally stabilized turn into a pond and mud again.

In that time and space, Zhang Zizhong was accused of being a traitor because he stayed in Beiping. And it was in order to wash away this shame that he resolutely and resolutely chose to personally lead his team to cross the Xianghe River in 1940 and take the initiative to attack, but he was surrounded by enemy troops several times larger than me, and finally died in battle.

The appearance of Ouyang Yun, a little butterfly, has changed too many things, and Zhang Zizhong and the 38th Division under his command have also benefited a lot. Compared with that time and space, not only was there two more divisions in the size of the troops, but there were also earth-shaking changes in weapons and equipment. It is a pity that because the Scholar Army withdrew from North China and took away the main force that originally belonged to the 29th Army, resulting in a vacuum of force in Jicha, the 57th Army fought alone, and finally failed to rewrite the course of history, so it could only choose to evacuate.

What changed because of the appearance of Ouyang Yun was the process of the Japanese invasion of China. Many well-known battles that appeared in that time and space did not occur for various reasons, so those generals who became famous in World War I were also drowned in the long river of history. However, these obviously did not affect Zhang Zizhong, following the historical trajectory of that time and space, the 38th Division was expanded into an army, and then came to Xuzhou.

It was still early for lunch, and the group was introduced to the No. 2 conference room of the Cadet Army to drink tea. Ouyang Yun saw that the plainclothes guards were very well-behaved on the lawn in front of the office building, so he asked Huang Hua to greet him and take care of him: "Let Chang Gen go and find out who they are." ”

Chen Shichang and Zhang Kexia are also acquaintances, and they are talking with Ji Xingwen at this time with Bai Chongxi and the latter. Zhang Kexia looked at the badge of the Cadet Army hanging on the front wall of the conference room, and said with emotion: "I can't imagine it, it was just an empty shelf regiment at the beginning, but now, the Cadet Army has grown into such a behemoth!" Commander-in-Chief Ouyang's means are so visible! ”

Bai Chongxi sat next to him, and when he heard this, he said: "The speed of the rise of the Scholar Army is really extraordinary. Hehe, compared to our Gui lineage, I now feel like I'm dying old. ”

Ouyang Yun just walked back, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "The chief said that he was laughing." There is an old Chinese saying that ginger is still old and spicy. Compared with your army, what we lack in terms of qualifications and combat experience is not one or two points. The reason why your army is in a temporary predicament now is also due to the fact that it is for the country and the people, but if you have long eyes, who does not understand this, this is the real thing, and it will always be an example for us to learn from the army. ”

Bai Chongxi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "If Chairman Jiang heard this, it is estimated that he would not have sent me to wait for Fei to say this, and he would definitely communicate with you directly by phone." Brother Ouyang, you must have guessed the meaning of our coming. But I don't know what your army is planning? After he said this, everyone's eyes were all on Ouyang Yun's face, and they all guessed in their hearts, not knowing what kind of answer Lu Dao, China's youngest commander-in-chief, would give.

The military committee's orders and orders in this regard had already been stacked on Ouyang Yun's desk. The reason why Ouyang Yun did not reply for a long time was because he was worried about the opposition of others in the army. In the absence of a consensus among the whole army, he will naturally not take the lead in expressing his position.

Under the gaze of everyone, he just smiled slightly, and did not immediately answer the question. When the tea was served, he picked it up and said to Bai Chongxi, "Chief Bai, please drink tea." Then he looked around at everyone and said, "You have a long journey, please rest well today, and as for official business, we will talk about it tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Bai Chongxi glanced at him attentively, picked up the teacup, and drank it reservedly. He didn't speak, and the others couldn't say anything, so they picked up their teacups and tasted tea.

The time soon reached noon, and in order to welcome Bai Chongxi and his party, Ouyang Yun set up six tables in the canteen of the headquarters. In order to show his grandeur, not only did he call all the officers above the division commander level of the cadet army who could rush back, but also called Jiang Shuren, Lao Bonn, Fan Xudong and other senior officials of the cadet military government to accompany him, which can be said to have given Bai Chongxi and Zhang Kexia enough face.

Bai Chongxi is known as Xiao Zhuge and is a human spirit in some ways. Seeing such a battle, and experiencing all kinds of emotions in the process of greeting with many high-level scholars and soldiers, he understood the true intention of Ouyang Yun's banquet. When Ouyang Yun asked him to say a few words, he raised his wine glass and made a generous statement: "I came to Guangzhou to ask for help on the order of the Military Committee, and Chongxi was terrified. In the Battle of Nanjing, both the Gui Army and the Xuebing Army sent troops, but the result was two. The Gui army was defeated and the Xuebing Army won the victory of Bailinpu, which made me fully realize the difference between the Gui Army and the Xuebing Army. When the country is weak, there will be foreign enemies waiting for the opportunity to enter, and it is our people who will suffer in the end, and as soldiers, this is really the greatest shame for us. Today, Commander-in-Chief Meng Ouyang was gracious, and did not regard him as a general of the defeated army or a national sinner, but instead arranged such a grand welcome ceremony, and we are really ashamed! Thinking about the front line of the war, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers on our side who are fighting bloody battles against the Japanese invaders, and this first glass of wine should be a tribute to these lovely and amiable soldiers! Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, what do you think? ”
