Chapter Seventy-Seven: Before the Great War
"China always can't do anything well. It's because there are too many of them! In the Tianjin Garrison Headquarters, Zhang Zizhong sat on the chair sulking after complaining.
It's no wonder that he feels depressed, on the one hand, the old comrades-in-arms, the old brothers, and on the other hand, the juniors who bring him hope - he originally thought that as long as he had Ouyang Yun's support, the 38th Division would inevitably be able to change its old appearance and firmly hold the sea gateway of Hebei and Beiping, but now, there is a contradiction between the old brothers and the juniors, and it is embarrassing enough for him to be caught in the middle, and the worst thing is that both sides actually forced him to express his position.
Song Zheyuan went to his hometown in Shandong and handed over the military and political power to Feng Zhi'an. There is no contradiction between him and Feng Zhi'an, and in line with the principle of doing business, he thinks that he will handle the affairs of his division very well. However, in the early stage, Feng Zhi'an gave him such an ambiguous order in the name of the military department, telling him to be optimistic about his subordinates to avoid conflicts with the Japanese, so as not to cause incidents.
He didn't know the true intentions of Feng Zhi'an and the others at first, and when the little devil began to swagger around the city of Tianjin, he found that he had inadvertently caused great trouble to Ouyang Yun and the Renqiu government.
Zhang Zizhong is not a reckless man and knows his own strength, so he decided to be vague and take a look at it first, so as not to really cause any trouble.
Now that Ji Xingwen came to the door, he realized that the development of the matter in the Dao had far exceeded his imagination, and he also knew what the order of the Dao Military Department was intended to be—they wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to eradicate Ouyang Yun and the dissident of the apprentice soldier!
"Division Commander Zhang, what our military division did in Renqiu must be a thorn in the flesh. It's not surprising that the little devil has such a move, but what makes us feel chilled is that the fraternal troops we always thought were close to each other were behind our backs-I came out of the 37th Division, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't say that the old troops are not, but the current situation-" Ji Xingwen shook his head as he spoke, and did not finish his words.
The 37th Division is his old unit, and Feng Zhi'an also has the grace to cultivate him, he is not a ruthless person, but Feng Zhi'an's current approach is really terrifying. Because of this, Ji Xingwen's thoughts were once very contradictory, but in the end, reason overcame emotion and made him make the right choice. It can be said that after the failure of the mutiny against Ouyang Yun planned by Feng Zhi'an, Ji Xingwen and most of the officers and soldiers of the original 129th Regiment have completely sided with Ouyang Yun and become a complete "student soldier".
"What do you division commander want me to do now, say it bluntly, as long as it is beneficial to the anti-Japanese resistance and the country, I will do it at all costs!"
Ji Xingwen smiled lightly and said, "Senior Commander Zhang, you misunderstood, Senior Commander Ouyang didn't ask me to come to you to ask you to do anything, he just wanted to know your position." If there is only such a division, we are confident that we will still be able to crush their aggressive intentions. But if the brother units of the 29th Army take the opportunity to get involved—" He shook his head lightly without finishing his sentence.
Zhang Zizhong stood up - everyone is a smart person, just point to some words, he said: "Don't worry about this, I'll go to Beiping later." The Cadet Division came out of our 29th Army, and Commander Ouyang has always treated us as brothers, and we will never stab you in the back at such a time! He paused, and his eyes sharpened: "If anyone really dares to do such a treacherous thing, don't worry, I don't need you to do it, I will kill him directly!" ”
"Master Zhang, thank you so much! By the way, I have another mission this time, are the rifles and machine guns that your soldiers are used to? Senior Commander Ouyang asked me to inquire and see if there was anything that needed to be supplemented and improved. ”
Hearing him mention the "Sick Type" multi-functional machine gun and the "Wei Qing Type" automatic rifle, Zhang Zizhong had a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Very good, there is nothing that needs to be improved, but there is not much ammunition, I hope you can send another batch." Of course, we'll pay. ”
Ji Xingwen patted his head and said with a smile: "Just talking about business, I almost forgot, this time I brought 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the machine gun and rifle bullets were split in half." Hehe, the little devil is blocked tightly now, I let my subordinates take a detour, I think it should be there now, Master Zhang, you wait, I'll take a look. ”
Zhang Zizhong smiled and nodded, watched Ji Xingwen walk out of the door, shook his head and sighed with a wry smile: "This Ouyang Yun is getting older and more sophisticated now, if I can't give Ji Xingwen a satisfactory answer today, I'm afraid that this bullet will return the same way!" In his mind, Ouyang Yun has always been an image of a heartless city, and this image once made him and Feng Zhi'an and other old revolutionaries have a good impression of him, and at the same time, he unconsciously has a contempt for him. Now, this image is dressed in the "coat" of a fox, Zhang Zizhong will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, but at the same time, it also makes him dare not look at this young man like a child.
- Zhang Zizhong wronged Ouyang Yun and Ji Xingwen, the reason why they wanted to take a detour to transport ammunition was really to avoid the surveillance of the Japanese.
Both the automatic rifle and the multi-function machine gun are the secret weapons of the cadet division, and although Tu Feiyuan has learned a little information from Feng Zhi'an and others, they do not know their true power. And whether it is the Cadet Division or the 38th Division, it is Song Zheyuan, they all responded to Ouyang Yun's call to protect this secret very well.
Ouyang Yun considered that good steel should be used on the blade - sooner or later, there would be a vigorous battle between the cadet division and the Japanese, and the cadet division would not have aircraft and tanks, and only by relying on the two unexpected weapons of multi-function machine guns and automatic rifles could it be possible to win this battle at that time. He hoped to beat the devil at one time, so that these two strange soldiers could have a certain psychological deterrent effect on the devil, just like the broadsword of the 29th Army. Only in this way can the little devil feel his scars and carefully study whether it is worth it when he thinks about starting the next war! Perhaps, they will praise the combat power of the university soldiers!
